Si Wen was at a complete loss for words. "Everyone knows she likes Xiang Xiaolong, but Xiang Xiaolong likes , so she takes every chance she gets to give a hard ti. God knows, I really don’t like Xiang Xiaolong. If she likes him that much, she should just go after him! If that doesn’t work, she can pester him relentlessly. Isn’t there a saying? ’A girl chasing a boy is only separated by a thin veil.’"
Xue Yang raised an eyebrow. So it isn’t just Lin Xi who has admirers, Si Wen does too. It seems only natural for her to have them. Although her looks can’t compare to Lin Xi’s, she’s still top-tier, and she has a ton of followers on Weibo. Only soone as wealthy as her could afford to ignore those followers. Otherwise, she could live a life of comfort just by leveraging that fanbase. That’s a true rich girl for you, plain and unbothered.
Speaking of Si Wen’s admirers, was it one of those two guys from outside the broadcast studio? Xue Yang had seen one of them before, and despite the darkness, the boy had left a deep impression. After all, he’s only in his second year of high school, yet he had the guts to confront and tell to stay away from Lin Xi. For that alone, his courage is comndable. At our age, not everyone has the bravery to pursue the person they like. Most just bury that love deep in their hearts. If they’re lucky, fate might bring them together. If not, they’ll end up regretting their lack of courage soday. However, since I’m the one he’s up against, no amount of courage is going to help him. It’s destined to be unrequited love, because Lin Xi is mine. And she can only be mine.
"If you et soone suitable, you could try getting to know them," Xue Yang suggested. Si Wen is a pretty good person. If her date back then hadn’t been Wang Doudou, maybe things would have worked out.
"If there’s no chemistry, there’s no chemistry. If I don’t like soone, I just don’t. You can’t force it, and I don’t want to waste their ti."
Xue Yang agreed with her. If everyone had Si Wen’s self-awareness, there would be far fewer poor souls suffering from unrequited love in this world.
Lin Xi asked, "Are you coming back with us?"
"I just finished my exams, so I have to go ho first," Si Wen replied. "I’ll find you guys tomorrow and go look at the villa."
She hadn’t forgotten her promise to buy them a villa. The sooner she bought it, the sooner she could get her little kitten. Si Wen’s eyes curved into crescents, and it was clear she was in a great mood.
"Oh, okay."
"By the way, here’s your phone," Si Wen said. "The teacher confiscated it, and since you weren’t around, she gave it to ."
Lin Xi took the phone. Its battery had died from being on standby for so long, and it was off.
"I gave it a bit of a charge for you, so it should be able to turn on now."
"Oh, okay," Lin Xi said.
Lin Xi didn’t really want to turn it on. The mont she did, she would have to part ways with Xue Yang. After waiting so long for the exams to end, all she wanted was to go ho with him.
Xue Yang smiled. "Go ahead and turn it on."
Though reluctant, Lin Xi listened to him and switched on her phone. A mont later, a flood of ssages began to pour in. She would have to read them before she could finish packing.
Just as she was about to start reading them, her phone rang. The caller ID showed "Dad." It was Lin Zhenhai. Seeing his na wasn’t a surprise, but it did make her a little excited. It had been over two months since she last saw her father, and she really missed him.
She pressed the answer button. "Dad."
"Mm, finished with your exams?" Lin Zhenhai’s voice was calm, as if he were just going through the motions.
"Yes, Dad. They’re over."
"How did they go?"
"Pretty well."
"Mm."
"Dad..."
But he hung up. Hearing the disconnected tone, Lin Xi froze. She had thought he would ask her to co ho. Instead, he had only called to ask how her exams went. He hadn’t said a single extra word, leaving her no ti to even react.
Lin Xi felt a strange emptiness. It was as if her dad didn’t need her anymore. Before, when he pestered her daily to co ho, she had only felt annoyed and desperate to escape. But now that he no longer asked about her, Lin Xi felt a hollow sense of loss.
Is this what it ans to grow up?
Xue Yang sensed what Lin Xi was thinking. He gently stroked her head and said, "You haven’t been ho in so long. Now that the college entrance exams are over, you should go ho first. I’ll take you back later."
Lin Xi lowered her head and responded softly, "Okay."
Even though she didn’t want to leave Xue Yang, she knew she should go ho. The two began to pack. Si Wen had already finished packing her things. She grabbed her backpack, said goodbye to Xue Yang and Lin Xi, and left. Her family had sent soone over to help her clear out her dorm room; once that was done, she would be leaving the school for good. As for the graduation party they had been discussing, neither of the girls would be attending.
After helping Lin Xi pack her things in the classroom, Xue Yang went with her to her dorm. This was his first ti in her room. It was a single suite, and it wasn’t small—he estimated it was about a hundred square ters, fully furnished. The decor was the familiar princess style, worlds better than the apartnt he had rented before. It was no exaggeration to say that even his own bedroom at ho wasn’t as luxurious as this dorm.
No wonder they call it the most expensive school in Dragon Country. The treatnt is on another level.
Xue Yang entered and set his backpack on the sofa. "Xiao Xi, where should we start packing?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt his little Xiao Naimao hug him from behind.
"Xue Yang, I missed you so much."
A sweet softness pressed into his back. Xue Yang stiffened for a mont before his hands ca to rest on her soft, jade-like ones.
"Xiao Xi, I missed you too."
"I missed you more than you missed ."
"No, I missed you more."
"I definitely missed you more."
Xue Yang chuckled. This girl... she has to turn everything into a competition. "Alright, alright. You missed more."
He took her pale wrists and skillfully spun her around to face him. From his vantage point, all he could see was the top of her head. Did this little Xiao Naimao shrink again?
But that wasn’t it. At nineteen, Xue Yang was still growing. All his running around over the past six months had been a form of exercise, and he had grown about three centiters. It might not sound like much, but when you’re already tall, a few centiters make a noticeable difference.
Lin Xi rose onto her tiptoes, tilted her head up, and pressed her glistening red lips precisely against the ones she had longed for. The familiar fragrance washed over Xue Yang, clouding his mind and robbing him of the ability to think.
"Xue Yang, hold ."
Her voice pulled him back to his senses. His arms circled her slender waist, pulling her tight until her soft chest pressed firmly against him.
"Okay."
Lin Xi could clearly feel his passion, sothing she had missed terribly.
