Chapter 118 I Forgive You

Xiao You's mood has improved a lot in the past few days.

Although she still didn't pay much attention to Lin Huai, seeing him check in on WeChat every day, sending messages from morning to night to report his itinerary and share his learning experiences, and seeing the big meat buns on the table every morning, Xiao You's lips would curl up in a smile.

After school that day, he rode his bicycle as usual and bought a cup of coffee.

He took a sip through a straw at the traffic light.

A panting voice caught up from behind, "Let me have a taste."

At the traffic light, beside the pedestrian crossing, Xiao You stood up and brought the straw to his mouth.

Lin Huai reached out and grasped Xiao You's hand, taking a sip of his coffee along with it: "Americano?"

Xiao You nodded.

Lin Huai suddenly leaned down and stole a kiss on Xiao You's lips: "Then I'll add some sugar for you."

"rogue."

The light turned green, and Xiao You got on her bike, her face flushed, and rode forward.

Just two days ago, Lin Huai sent a message on WeChat saying: "I just want to pursue you properly and spend my whole life with you."

Xiao You's heart softened.

It was Monday again. After a full day of classes, it was pouring rain when evening self-study ended at 8:30.

The rain came suddenly, and many day students were stranded at the entrance of the teaching building because they didn't have umbrellas.

Others are waiting for their parents to pick them up.

Lin Huai didn't bring an umbrella either, forgetting to check the weather forecast before leaving home. Having been used to the life of a young master, he found it even more difficult to live on his own.

It takes more than half an hour to walk from school to home, let alone walk home in the rain.

Inside the glass door on the first floor, Lin Huai looked at his phone idly.

With the upcoming class reshuffling, Xiao You has to review her lessons and find time to draw, leaving her with even less time to pay attention to him.

Lin Huai was also sensible; he clearly understood that in this world, one had to work hard to earn wealth.

Suddenly, his phone screen lit up. Xiao You had finally sent him a WeChat message after several days.

Ask him where he is.

He replied, "It's downstairs in the teaching building."

That was the last thing I heard, and I have no idea what it meant.

Lin Huai was lost in thought when a small commotion broke out among the group of girls in front of him.

He vaguely heard the name "Xiao You" and subconsciously looked towards the door. He saw Xiao You holding an umbrella and another in her hand, hurrying towards the teaching building in the pouring rain.

"Who is Xiao You bringing an umbrella to? With that black umbrella open, he looks like a male lead from a Korean drama!"

"I told you, I've known he was the school heartthrob since the first year of high school, but you didn't believe me. That clean-cut face makes you want to kiss him!"

Go home and dream about it!

Xiao You walked into the teaching building amidst the murmurs. Her gaze swept across the crowd and quickly locked onto Lin Huai's direction. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she strode over.

When Lin Huai came to his senses, Xiao You was already standing in front of him: "Didn't bring an umbrella?"

Lin Huai awkwardly scratched his head: "I forgot."

Xiao You tossed an umbrella to Lin Huai, who caught it in mid-air. "Here, go home."

As I walked out of the teaching building, I could still hear several girls behind me discussing their names.

After walking a while, Lin Huai finally felt embarrassed to ask, "Why did you come? Didn't I go back after you rang the bell?"

"If I don't come, how will you get home? Will you wait for the rain to stop or walk in the rain?"

Xiao You's tone wasn't very friendly, so Lin Huai didn't dare to bother him.

He mumbled a few words, but Xiao You couldn't hear them clearly.

It felt like the sun was rising in the east; Lin Huai felt he was about to successfully take over.

As I approached the school gate, I saw two female students rushing forward, completely soaked.

Lin Huai had a sudden inspiration and ran up to give the umbrella to the person.

The female student's hair was wet and clung to her face. She blinked her big eyes, thanked them while holding up her umbrella, and then walked out hand in hand with them.

One of the female classmates took one step and looked back three times, her eyes filled with affection.

The boy's true intention wasn't to help others, but rather to take the opportunity to share an umbrella with someone.

She ran back to Xiao You's umbrella in the rain, squeezed closer to him, and said, "It's a bit cramped for two people to share one umbrella."

Lin Huai put one hand on his shoulder and took the umbrella handle.

Xiao You was a little annoyed.

He braved the heavy rain to go back to his dorm to get an umbrella and then brought it back, but the other person took advantage of his kindness and even shared an umbrella with him like a fool.

With such heavy rain, both of their shoulders were soaked; they're bound to catch a cold sooner or later.

Xiao You walked faster and faster, but when she got to the door, she found that there were just too many people stopping her car, and she couldn't go back now.

Heaven is helping Lin Huai.

"I think I have a bit of a fever," he said dryly. "How about we go to your dorm room first?"

"Serves you right for being a womanizer; you deserve to get caught in the rain." Xiao You had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and still turned and walked towards the dormitory.

The two remained silent after that. The rain intensified halfway through the journey, and the sound of the rain was shut out again when they returned to their dormitory and closed the door.

Xiao You took out a dry towel and handed it to Xiao You: "Wipe yourself off."

Lin Huai leaned against the desk behind him, casually wiping the rain from his face, his wet hair being carelessly pulled up.

Watching his movements, from his forehead to the bridge of his nose, and the curve of his chin, all of which were as eye-catching as Wen Jing's, Xiao You couldn't help but berate herself for her own foolishness.

The two people look so alike, yet I've fallen for them twice and they still haven't recognized me.

Noticing Xiao You's gaze, Lin Huai glanced at him and asked, "You like it?"

I like it my ass, I hate it.

Xiao You casually asked, "Don't you have mind-reading abilities? Can't you listen to yourself?"

Lin Huai almost laughed himself to death.

He wiped the rain off his face, moved closer to Xiao You, and stopped talking.

What are you doing?

"I am casting a spell, reading minds."

Xiao You looked up. "Oh? So what did you glean from that?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Huai reached out and touched Xiao You's cheek with his fingertips, gently stroking it. "I heard someone call me a bastard."

Xiao You chuckled: "Good to know."

“I deeply reflected on myself yesterday, and I realized that I was wrong in this matter.”

Xiao You: "Have you really reflected on your actions?"

Lin Huai nodded: "I've reflected on my actions."

He said, "I was wrong to do this, I made my boyfriend lonely for so long."

Xiao You's eyes lit up when she heard the term "little boyfriend".

"Small?"

"It's a bit small compared to mine."

You filthy scoundrel.

After a moment of silence, the only sound was the swallowing of saliva. Lin Huai leaned closer to him and whispered, "So, have you forgiven me?"

Xiao You: "Forgive what?"

Lin Huai: "I wasn't honest enough. I'm sorry for not telling you right away."

Xiao You's heart trembled slightly with anxiety. Lin Huai's tone was too gentle, and the love in his eyes made it impossible for him to refuse.

He said in a muffled voice, "I forgive you."

Lin Huai: "Really?"

Xiao You: "If you ask again, it's a lie!"

Lin Huai's tone became even more sincere: "Xiao You, I've never been in a relationship before, nor have I ever pursued anyone. I hope you will guide me for the rest of my life."

Xiao You quickly interrupted him: "You've never been in a relationship, but you've been married."

"Yes," Lin Huai said, suppressing a laugh. "Marriage before love doesn't mean we haven't even dated yet."

Xiao You: "Then, young master, we'll have to work hard together from now on."

As the last word faded, Lin Huai pulled him over and pinned him to the desk.

A passionate kiss followed,

The rain poured down, and an ambiguous atmosphere permeated the small space of the dormitory.

Under the glow of an incandescent bulb, Lin Huai and Xiao You briefly summarized the situation of Wen Jing, their grandmother, and everyone else, as well as the reason for their sudden arrival in this world.

Xiao You listened silently, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Being together now is enough.
