"For the next few days, don't go to work at the bar. Rest well at ho and review your studies. I've already talked to Brother Xiong; you can return to work after the high school exams."
After escorting Chen ngying downstairs, Xiaofan softly spoke.
"Okay. When you were waiting for at the door earlier, our supervisor already told and even gave two thousand yuan, saying I would still be paid even if I don't work. But I feel that it's not quite appropriate." Chen ngying took the money out of her bag.
"Hmm? Just keep it. After all, Brother Xiong isn't short of these two thousand yuan. If the tuition really isn't enough by then, let know, I can help you figure out a solution." Xiaofan said softly.
Chen ngying listened, feeling grateful inside. Even though they were just classmates, and she used to find him annoying as hell, today, he's the one standing by her side, helping her.
Fate plays tricks, or maybe it's just a little joke from heaven, making her fall for soone she used to dislike. Yet now, she can't reveal her feelings to him because he has Liu Siyan.
"It won't be. If I work during the two months of sumr break, it should be enough. I'm just worried that working there might make things difficult for you." What concerned Chen ngying was this point. Previously, Fei had told her that Xiaofan stayed at the bar because of her, making her feel apologetic when she thought about it.
"What's difficult for ? I also need money. Brother Xiong and the others are good to . Don't overthink other stuff, just focus on preparing for the high school exams."
"Okay."
"Then I'm leaving, get so sleep early."
"Okay, you too. Goodbye."
Liking soone is such a simple thing. Even though the outco might be like a moth flying into the fla, Chen ngying found herself deeply entangled in it. Thinking back, she regretted it a bit. If she had confessed to Xiaofan before he t Liu Siyan, would things be different now?
Walking up the stairs, Chen ngying couldn't help but turn back to look at Xiaofan, who was already far away on his bike, her heart bitter. Her mom once said that a family must have a man as its pillar and that this man must have a sense of responsibility. Her mom also ntioned that Ye Xiaofan was a good choice, but unfortunately, he was chosen by soone else first.
Of course, the side Xiaofan kept hidden was not exposed to Chen ngying. At least the fact that he had Shen Zuimo at ho was hard to explain.
Over half an hour later, Xiaofan returned ho with the KFC and tofu pudding he'd bought.
Upon opening the door, a pair of bare legs flashed before his eyes.
This woman was careless with her attire again. Doesn't she know she's living under the sa roof with a man? Doesn't she realize that most n think with their lower half? Doesn't she understand how tempting it is for a normal man to see soone wearing just a long white shirt, walking around with no pants on?
"Ahem, ahem." Fortunately, Xiaofan was accustod to such a scene, otherwise, he would again embarrass himself like the first ti he t her by getting a nosebleed.
"Why did you co back so early today?" Completely ignoring the wolf staring intently at her legs, Shen Zuimo walked over briskly and grabbed the snacks from Xiaofan's hand.
"Weren't you afraid you'd be hungry? What? Didn't have dinner?" Xiaofan imdiately followed and sat down at the table.
"I ate a little. Just thought we haven't sat down to eat together in a long ti, so I asked you to bring these back for ." Shen Zuimo spoke so matter-of-factly.
"Seems like it. These days have been busy. Busying about aimlessly." Xiaofan replied with a bitter smile.
"Hey."
"Hmm?"
"Don't get involved with those things. I know you're doing it for your friends, but so things don't need you to handle personally. Those guys have guns; it's no joke."
Shen Zuimo's expression was serious, yet her eyes couldn't hide her concern for Xiaofan. This ti infiltrating Lei Hu's headquarters, she not only installed bugs and hidden caras but also saw a handgun. A handgun can claim lives, and she feared Xiaofan would recklessly take risks.
This evening, Shen Zuimo seed to have shed her tough exterior, her voice was so gentle. It left Xiaofan sowhat dazed and intoxicated.
"Oh co on, I'm no fool. I wouldn't knowingly walk into danger." Xiaofan chuckled.
"This isn't your first ti doing it." Shen Zuimo glared at Xiaofan, reaching out her delicate fingers to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly.
The implication was that when Xiaofan rescued Shen Zuimo, it wasn't the first ti he didn't give up, even knowing the danger, was it? How could she trust this fool wouldn't do the sa thing again?
"How could it be? Is there another woman as beautiful as you that needs saving? Hey, I just feel like with this atmosphere, shouldn't we have a couple of drinks?" Xiaofan suddenly suggested.
This suggestion didn't sound like a good idea to Shen Zuimo. She darted her eyes, looking at Xiaofan curiously, and playfully snapped, "Are you plotting sothing again? Don't think you can take advantage of just because I'm drunk."
"How could that be? Maybe you'll be the one getting drunk this ti. By the way, how good is your alcohol tolerance?" Xiaofan blatantly expressed his intent, implying he was trying to take advantage, but all in jest for her to express whether she was willing or not.
Faced with Xiaofan's shenanigans, Shen Zuimo found it slightly absurd. She moved her lips slightly, softly saying, "I don't know if I can drink, but if you really manage to get drunk, I'll just accept it."
'Thump.'
Xiaofan suddenly stood up from his chair, making such a big movent that he knocked the chair over. He didn't bother with the fallen chair and went straight to the door to go out.
"Where are you going?"
"To buy alcohol, I refuse to believe that as a man, I can't outdrink you."
"Pfft," Shen Zuimo laughed. Her smile was very carefree. She clearly knew he was up to no good by going to buy alcohol, yet she couldn't get angry at all. Moreover, she sat quietly at ho, waiting for him to buy the alcohol and return.
In less than fifteen minutes, Xiaofan returned ho with a dozen beers, then looked at Shen Zuimo with a smug expression.
"I'll warn you, if anything happens when you're drunk, it'll be by your own consent."
"Put away your lewd smile. Let's see who gets drunk first." Without waiting for Xiaofan to act, she took out a can of beer, popped it open, and started drinking with her head held high.
"Wow, ha ha ha, I'll have you know, these past few days working at the bar haven't been for nothing. My alcohol tolerance has been getting better and better."
"Cut the crap, half a can already. However much I drink, you have to match it. Let's see who gets drunk first." Shen Zuimo threw out her words dominantly and continued to tilt her head and pour the beer into her mouth.
Shen Zuimo drank fiercely, probably not realizing that she actually longed to get drunk in front of Xiaofan. Giving herself an excuse, giving him a reason, and also not having to shed the innate restraint of a woman.
