"Just buy a jade bracelet that costs a few hundred to a thousand bucks."
Xu Lin actually thought there was no need to bother with gifts, but if he had to, a cheap one would suffice. According to Rong Xiyi’s way of thinking, she might go for gifts worth tens of thousands, or even more, like a whole package of jewelry, costics, the lot.
But that really wasn’t necessary, because giving sothing too expensive would make it awkward for mom to reciprocate.
As the saying goes, courtesy demands reciprocity. If soone gives your kid a red envelope with a thousand bucks, you also have to give them back a similar amount—you can’t just fob them off with a red envelope worth dozens of bucks. So Xu Lin thought it was better to go with sothing cheap to make it easier.
Although he felt gifts were entirely unnecessary, now both won insisted on exchanging gifts.
"Only a few hundred bucks, that cheap?"
"Do you think my family is as rich as yours? My house is only worth just over two million, not even as much as your funds."
Xu Lin said, "You need to understand my kind of poor guy. If you give too expensive a gift, my mom will feel embarrassed."
"But she’s also my mom!"
Rong Xiyi emphasized once more.
"Alright, your mom."
"Xu Lin, don’t say ’your mom’ ever again in the future. She’s our mom!"
"Fine, our mom."
"Xu Lin, you’re so dismissive."
"Don’t be dismissive. Call brother and let hear it."
"No way!"
"Say it!"
"Brother!" Rong Xiyi pouted playfully, and as she spoke, the roadside stall they were at drew quite a few pairs of eyes, as many couples looked over.
"That’s better!"
Xu Lin felt refreshed. Who could resist a pretty girl acting cute and calling you brother?
Even Monk Tang almost couldn’t resist when the Queen of the Kingdom of Won called him ’brother disciple.’
"Brother, let’s eat stinky tofu!"
At that mont, Rong Xiyi bit into a piece of stinky tofu, her speech muffled as she leaned over, "Let’s split it half and half!"
Originally, Xu Lin didn’t want to eat, but as Rong Xiyi kept leaning over, he had to take a bite, and both shared it half and half.
They spent an hour at the roadside stall, drawing envious looks from people around them, as the two of them were openly showing affection.
It wasn’t until one in the morning that they left, and afterward, Xu Lin drove around for another half-hour before heading ho at around two. Then they brushed their teeth and washed their faces before finally going to bed.
But Rong Xiyi insisted on cuddling tightly with Xu Lin while sleeping.
It wasn’t a big deal; it was normal.
However, Rong Xiyi kept slipping her hand into Xu Lin’s pants, holding on as she slept.
?
Xu Lin moved her hand away, only for her to put it back. After several attempts, he eventually just let it be.
Nothing more happened overnight.
Soon it was eight in the morning.
Without Ning Yuhuan around, Xu Lin wouldn’t wake up so early—only Ning Yuhuan always had a precise body clock and got up at a little past six.
As for Rong Xiyi, she liked to sleep in.
But Rong Xiyi woke up earlier than Xu Lin.
When Xu Lin finally woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Rong Xiyi busy with her head bowed down.
Seeing this, Xu Lin couldn’t resist, and from a little past eight to half-past ten, they went through three rounds.
By eleven, they finally went out.
"Xu Lin, carry ."
Rong Xiyi pulled Xu Lin’s hands with her own from behind, whining, "I’m uncomfortable walking; can’t you just carry for a bit?"
"You should reflect on yourself first—why did you tease early in the morning? If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t have had to ’teach’ you in the morning."
"Wasn’t it because you were, um, up? I just wanted to... Besides, didn’t you like it a lot?"
"It’s a normal reaction for guys, you know?"
"Xu Lin, carry ; I’m really uncomfortable walking."
Rong Xiyi took small, quick steps as she tried to get Xu Lin to carry her.
"No carrying, walk if you want!"
Xu Lin didn’t indulge her.
"Xu Lin, how can you be like this?"
"That’s just how I am."
"Xu Lin..."
Rong Xiyi half-whined.
"Actually, if you want to carry you, it’s doable, but there are conditions!"
Xu Lin suddenly changed his tune.
Rong Xiyi got excited, "Tell quickly!"
Xu Lin grinned, "You carry for fifteen minutes, and I’ll carry you for half an hour. Isn’t that fair? You’re getting twice the return for your ti."
"What girl carries a guy?"
"What do you an, what girl carries a guy? The ancients said, ’Won are no less than n.’ Hua Mulan, Qin Liangyu—weren’t they all renowned female warriors in ancient tis? They were great won who fought bravely on horseback, and they’ve been idols to countless won throughout history! Nowadays, there’s even a saying that won hold up half the sky, and just because I asked you to carry for fifteen minutes, you’re making a fuss about it. How will you ever hold up half the sky or stand shoulder to shoulder with n? Do you just want to be a pretty ornant? Do you just want to be all looks and no brains? Rong Xiyi, you need to step it up!"
"I’ll carry you!"
After Xu Lin’s whole speech, Rong Xiyi couldn’t resist anymore and imdiately agreed to carry Xu Lin.
Xu Lin didn’t hold back a bit and leaned on her back, letting her carry him.
Rong Xiyi was 175 cm tall and not a frail girl with thin arms and legs.
But Xu Lin’s weight was an issue; despite how he looks in clothes, he was actually quite heavy.
"Xu Lin, why are you so heavy?"
With Xu Lin’s weight entirely on her, Rong Xiyi experienced Xu Lin’s true weight for the first ti. Though she had been ’pressed’ by Xu Lin many tis yesterday and this morning, those didn’t count because the bed provided support, distributing Xu Lin’s weight. But now, his entire weight was on her.
Xu Lin said in all seriousness, "Won are no less than n, keep it up!"
