Chapter 40 Departure

Chen Yu still remembers the shock she felt when she saw the message; her first reaction was to joke about it.

Those two didn't look like siblings to anyone. The inseparable and intense atmosphere between them could only be found between lovers or enemies.

But when A-Jie, who was always by Pu-Xia's side, called her specifically to tell her not to mention it to Pu-Xia, she became somewhat uncertain.

She was a perceptive person and quickly sensed something from this deliberate reminder.

Especially the rapid shift in the direction of the discussion later on, with one-sided comments like "Is he crazy?", "Not funny at all", and "Brother Sheng dares to make jokes like that, awesome!"...

Chen Yu sensed something deliberate.

But are they really siblings?

She looked at Pu Xia, who was quietly doing her homework. Her profile was beautiful and clean, her skin was fair, her eyes were bright, and her temperament was as proud and dazzling as the sun.

This person even has neatly trimmed and clean nails. How could such a perfect person do something so foolish?

Chen Yu shook his head, banishing his previous doubts.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Pu Xia suddenly spoke up, wrote down the last option on the paper, and then looked up at Chen Yu.

"No, it's nothing." Chen Yu's tone suddenly became somewhat uneasy.

"Really? I feel like a lot of people are staring at me these past few days."

Chen Yu immediately thought of A-Jie's explanation and denied it, saying, "It's probably just my imagination. Didn't you just get first place? That's probably the reason."

"It's just an illusion..."

Pu Xia repeated the sentence softly and then said nothing more. She looked out the window, lost in thought.

The weather had clearly turned colder. People who used to gather and laugh together in the corridor had put on coats, and girls who liked to dress up were wearing wool coats and soft, fluffy scarves.

In contrast, perhaps to look cool, the boys always wear very thin clothing.

Pu Xia suddenly thought of Xie Sheng. He also seemed to wear very little clothing, as if he didn't feel the cold, and most of his clothes were black.

She suddenly wanted to see other colors on him. Moreover, he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, strong and muscular but not overly bulky, a perfect clothes hanger.

With that in mind, she added shopping for clothes to her weekend schedule.

They got up very early on the day they went to the provincial capital. When they set off, the misty fog in the mountains was so thick that they could hardly see the road. Xie Sheng zipped up Pu Xia's hooded jacket all the way and then put the hood on her, leaving only two bright, upturned cat eyes showing.

They look incredibly cute.

He couldn't resist and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Unexpectedly, she tilted her head upwards like a small animal poking its head out of a hole, and then her soft lips touched his chin.

He was stunned, and then he heard the girl's sweet voice, "Brother, lower your head a little, you're too tall for me to kiss."

After hearing this, Xie Sheng put down his suitcase, grabbed her waist, and lifted her up. "Can you reach me?"

When she was clinging to him, she felt a little embarrassed, but Xie Sheng didn't give her a chance to back out. He whispered, "Lower your head."

"here......"

"Nobody's here so early."

The proud flower finally lowered its haughty buds, and Xie Sheng immediately kissed his longing lips.

They hadn't been intimate in a long time, and on that chilly morning, a mere kiss ignited their desire.

Suddenly, Xie Sheng put Pu Xia down, immediately bent down to pick up the suitcase again, and opened the trunk.

Pu Xia was still dizzy from the kiss and was not quite able to react after being released. Even after she was pushed to sit in the passenger seat, her confusion had not subsided.

"elder brother……?"

"Sit tight, we're off."

The intensity just now seemed like an illusion; Xie Sheng's calm and composure were unlike his usual self.

Pu Xia's gaze began to wander until it stopped on a certain protruding part. A sly smile curved his lips, and his eyes were filled with affection and a teasing meaning.

"Brother, you're hard."

The only response she received was the unusually loud engine roar, as if expressing his intense, suppressed desire.

A soft laugh echoed inside the car.

A moment later, the voice said flippantly, "Brother, don't we look like we're eloping?"

Xie Sheng endured the pain almost to the point of agony; the nerves on the side of his forehead were throbbing.

The drive was exceptionally arduous, and Pu Xia would occasionally flirt with him, seemingly finding his restraint all the more fascinating.

Honestly, he really wanted to find a secluded spot to park the car and have sex with her right there. He wanted to silence her, leaving her tender, fresh lips only capable of moaning.

But once we got on the highway, there wasn't such a place. Xie Sheng silently simmered with anger.

Finally, around 1 p.m., they arrived in the provincial capital.

Pu Xia's attention shifted away from Xie Sheng. She hadn't spent much time in Bai County and Liucheng, but it felt like an eternity. Seeing the dense high-rise buildings, she felt as if she were in another world.

The provincial capital boasts both urban hustle and bustle and prosperity, as well as unique natural scenery. The undulating mountain shadows intertwine with the staggered buildings, and ancient pavilions and bridges reflect modern architecture, creating the city's distinctive character.

Pu Xia gazed intently at the city, his clear, bright eyes scanning the buildings, street scenes, and crowds.

Unlike Bai County, which is deep in the mountains, the temperature in the provincial capital is much higher. Xie Sheng turned off the heater and rolled down the car window to let in a cool but not freezing breeze.

Watching the girl's silver-gray hair, blown by the wind, intertwine with the golden midday light, he couldn't help but be a little dazed. The corners of his lips involuntarily curved upwards, and his gaze became tender and captivating.

The shadow that had been hanging over his heart for days had vanished. He captured this moment and treasured it deep in his heart.

This is enough to ward off all confusion and uncertainty.
