Chapter 119 White Shirt

Is there any farewell more joyful than "see you tomorrow"?

When I was a child, I always imagined myself as a dragon-riding princess, with an entire kingdom of cities and people to protect, and living the most eventful life.

Only when I grew up did I realize how precious a blessing it is to have the person I want to see right in front of me.

Not next month, next year, or in the next life.

It is the lover you can see when you wake up, and the hand you can hold when you take a step closer to him.

Su Xia couldn't describe her mood. She kept thinking about Xu Jiqing's last two sentences over and over in the quilt. Pink bubbles flew from her heart to her mouth, then burst lightly, leaving her feeling a little sour.

How could it be good night like this?

When Xu Jiqing came to ask her, Su Xia nodded without thinking. After her impulse passed, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time, trying to find a reasonable excuse to slip away.

The original itinerary for tomorrow morning was arranged by Su Xiaojuan, to go to Lan Lake to play golf with the Liang father and son.

Su Xiaojuan has been used to living alone for so many years, coming and going freely like the wind. She is not the kind of person who would be moved by a bouquet of flowers and a few words of concern. Even if a rich bachelor falls from the sky and shows his affection to her in different ways every day, she will still live her life the way she wants.

Business matters were handled impartially, and even if a private meeting was unavoidable, the conversation would not turn to the cotton mill that had just been acquired in just a few words.

Tomorrow's appointment at the stadium is semi-public and semi-private, and he said he would bring the kids along to chat.

Su Xiaojuan is not interested in dating, and she feels itchy all over because she can't get a big deal.

Uncle Liang had originally opened a private room in Lanhu. In order not to lose face, Su Xiaojuan immediately replied, "I have one too," and spent a huge amount of money to open an annual fee gold card overnight.

Because she spent a lot of money in unexpected places, Su Xiaojuan felt so painful that she kept complaining about it for several days. She repeatedly told Su Xia that even if it was nothing serious, he should still come, play ball, eat, or chat with the young Hong Kong guys.

The most important thing for her in life is to maintain her reputation, and she doesn't want the caddy to mistake her for a Hong Kong guy's mistress, Liang Zhuoqian's future stepmother.

Su Xia was worried for a long time and clicked on the small avatar of her friend that showed he was online.

My dear, what are your plans for tomorrow? [Starry Eyes]

He Miao: [I did my homework at the city library in the morning. In the afternoon, my mom took me back to my hometown to celebrate my grandmother's birthday.]

What can I help you with?

Su Xia was speechless for two seconds. [Has anyone ever told you that your intuition is scary?]

He Miao: [To be honest, people talk about it every day.]

[I think this is also a kind of talent that will help me achieve great things in my career.]

[Your Majesty, there is no need to waste time on internal affairs. Just speak frankly.]

Su Xia turned over and sat on the head of the bed, feeling a little embarrassed. [Can our Prime Minister take a couple of photos facing the table after arriving at the Municipal Library...]

She was still typing in the chat box, trying hard to come up with a reason that didn't sound so sour.

He Miao had hit the nail on the head, [Dating cover?]

Then he proposed a foolproof upgraded plan: "Wait, I'll find you a table with another girl across from me. I'll quietly blur out her hand and pretend it's me, the one doing the exercises with you."

[But I'm really curious, where would a guy like Xu Jiqing ask you out? A movie theater? Or making some intimate little handmade pottery?]

Please tell me, I'm very tight-lipped.

What cinema, what pottery...

The associations brought about by the two words spread out in an instant, making Su Xia's whole face a little hot.

She told me the truth, "Ask me for extra lessons."

He Miao: [……]

She paused and said, "I was wrong in my sincerity."

Su Xia added a completely unconvincing elementary school student's excuse, "Really."

The other party immediately replied with an expression of flapping wings and leaving, not believing her at all.

The next morning, Teacher Xiao He, who had been sincerely misled, called to cover up.

With superb acting skills, she spoke earnestly into the handset, insisting that the city library's new reading room had an excellent atmosphere and that studying in one day was better than studying in three days. Moreover, she had several months' worth of chemistry notes that she wanted to exchange with her, and no one would be accepted after the deadline.

Su Xia responded slowly, looking embarrassed, while stealing glances at Su Xiaojuan.

She made full preparations today.

She had no makeup on and her hair was tied in a ponytail. The most fancy part of her body was the little rabbit on her hairband.

His loyalty to learning is beyond words, without any evil intentions.

Su Xiaojuan looked her up and down for a long time, until she felt a little nervous. Then she waved her hand generously and said, "If you want to study, go ahead. I'll find someone else from the company to accompany me."

"During your performance at the Art Festival, that Liang family kid went up to present flowers, and I took a good look at him. He's a little dark, but his face is really good. It's better for you to go out with He Miao, so that the handsome guy across from you won't affect you."

Su Xia felt even more guilty, blinking her big eyes and moving closer, "Would it be awkward for you to go alone?"

"I won't turn my head."

Su Xiaojuan didn't care at all. "No matter how rich a Hong Kong guy is, he's still just a man. Your mother is your mother. I'm the only one who makes others feel uncomfortable."

"If you want to leave, go quickly. I'll let my uncle take you there."

Su Xia lowered her head and said "oh".

She left early today.

But the distance from home to the city library was not too close. When she took a taxi back from the library and opened the door of the cafe, it was already past the originally agreed time of eight o'clock.

The cafe is very stylishly decorated, with a very high ceiling inside the store and wooden cabinets on the wall displaying the owner's collection of various ceramic coffee cups. Bright sunlight shines through the wooden skylight, making the lemon tree leaves look lush and shiny green, creating an atmosphere of midsummer on the Sicilian coast.

Below the stone steps is a backyard with lush flowers and plants. The pool is covered with colorful mosaic tiles, and two cats are sleeping on it, sweeping their fluffy tails.

Su Xia walked all the way in, looked left and right, went too far and then backed away, pushing open the glass door of the compartment next to the yard.

She put down her bag, without even looking up, hurriedly unzipped it, and took out her folder and pencil case. "There's a little traffic on the way. Sorry."

This neighborhood is expensive and there is rush hour on weekdays.

At this time of the weekend, the streets are deserted, with only a few empty sightseeing buses passing by occasionally.

Xu Jiqing didn't expose her, but just said "hmm" lightly.

A ceramic mug with a kitten pattern painted on it was pushed in front of him. The aroma of Australian white tea was rich. The boy's slender hand had not yet withdrawn, his wrist bones were clearly visible, and his shirt was casually rolled up.

That's a very new dress.

Clean detergent smell, snow-white cuffs, and sharp and obvious ironing marks.

I felt a little embarrassed by that strange solemnity.

Su Xia's heart rate soared. When she looked up at him, her eyelashes seemed to be out of control and she blinked several times.

The weather in early autumn was already a bit cold, but Xu Jiqing was only wearing a thin white shirt.

His profile was cool and handsome, his eyes were stained with the deep green of the camphor tree outside the glass, and he focused on her.

Su Xia hurriedly avoided it.

There was a small navy blue box next to the coffee cup. She frantically tried to find a topic, "What is this?"

"Medal."

Xu Jiqing said.

"I didn't say I liked it, I gave it to you."
