Chapter 48048 Little Boyfriend

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

Xue Yi's heart skipped a beat as she stared deeply into his eyes. She felt a mixture of excitement and disbelief. When she finally realized what was happening, the corners of her mouth lifted uncontrollably. Even though she was trying to suppress it, a smile still shone through her eyes.

Unexpectedly, he would be the first to confess his feelings in the end.

Xue Yi didn't agree immediately. Instead, he deliberately put on a stern face and seriously brought up the past: "I wonder who said that I'm not interested in old women?"

The arrogant words he said not long ago now hit him right between the eyebrows like a boomerang.

Yu Zeyuan was speechless, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and his voice was filled with pleading: "At that time, I was... because I was embarrassed."

The blush on his face, which had not yet faded, deepened. He looked shy and uneasy, with his red ears, like a soft and cuddly little white rabbit. I couldn't help but want to hold him in my arms.

Xue Yi's heart softened, and she put her arms around his waist, looking up and asking, "So when did you start liking me?"

He slowly lowered his head, and his rosy lips moved slightly.

I felt an inexplicable urge to let out all my surging emotions: "I don't know exactly when it started...

All I know is that ever since you apologized to me earnestly after getting drunk, I've been obsessing over your every move. And then there was the time you helped me redeem my motorcycle. It was the first time I felt the warmth of someone caring for me. Back then, I thought, if only I could be with you forever.

Especially after that birthday party, this feeling has become stronger and stronger. Every time I see you chatting and laughing with other men, I feel so upset..."

Yu Zeyuan's beautiful peach-shaped eyes misted, revealing a hint of grievance. His thick, long eyelashes drooped slightly, giving him a sense of vulnerability, like a puppy drenched in rain, wet and soft, a feeling that touched the heart.

She licked her lips gently, a smile in her eyes, and stopped teasing him: "Okay, I'll forgive you this time, my little boyfriend!"

Yu Zeyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "You agreed?"

Xue Yi smiled and nodded, then kissed the corner of his mouth, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and smelled the pleasant light milky scent on him.

Yu Zeyuan stretched out his arms to hug her, and the two of them snuggled up on the sofa, the animated light and shadow on the screen gently enveloping them.

This moment is warm and sweet.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long, and happy times always pass quickly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Zeyuan had to whisper, "I should go back to the hotel and pack my luggage."

Although Xue Yi felt reluctant, she was not the clingy type.

She quickly composed herself and said softly, "Well, be careful on the road. Keep in touch."

"Okay, wait until I come back."

Before leaving, the two hugged each other reluctantly for a long time.

The door closed gently.

Xue Yi turned around and looked at the room that had suddenly become quiet, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Is this what separation anxiety is like in a relationship? We were only apart for a minute.

At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated -

It was a message from Yu Zeyuan: [I miss you.]

Xue Yi's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and her heart felt like it was soaked with honey, the sweetness flowing from her throat all the way into her stomach. Even the simple three words on the screen seemed particularly soft.

She tapped the screen with her fingertips and replied: [Me too.]

Xue Yi sat alone on the sofa, where his body temperature seemed to still remain. Her mind uncontrollably replayed the kiss and hug not long ago. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart was burning.

This can't go on.

The family affairs have not been completely resolved yet, so I can't always indulge in love affairs.

She forced herself to calm down, got up, walked into the bedroom, and began searching the Internet for the latest news about the company.

The stock price was still falling, the negative online public opinion was temporarily suppressed, and the public outcry gradually subsided, but she still felt vaguely uneasy and worried about the company's future.

Usually, there is always the calm before the storm.

She didn't believe her uncle had no backup plan. Fortunately, during the two days she was away, she had planted spies inside the company.

Xue Yi dialed the number directly: "How is the company doing recently?"

A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Everything seems normal at the moment. But Xue Ruiguo has been very busy with social engagements these days. I think he's planning something big."

Xue Yi frowned: "Did you find any suspicious signs?"

"Most of the people he meets with frequently are veterans in the company, and it seems like he's trying his best to win them over."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. When will you be back?"

"tomorrow."

"Do you need me to drive you?"

Xue Yi thought about it and realized that there were some things that could be discussed in person, so she said, "Okay."

She booked a high-speed train for the next morning at nine and arrived in Haicheng at noon.

As soon as he got out of the station, Xue Yi saw the familiar figure at the pick-up point.

Fang Jing walked forward with a smile and took the small suitcase from her naturally: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"casual."

"There's a new seafood restaurant opening on the old street. All the ingredients are freshly selected and cooked."

"Are there any private rooms?"

"have."

Xue Yi nodded.

She, Fang Jing and Guo Yingying grew up together, but the Fang family went bankrupt once. It was Xue Yi's father who came to their rescue. He not only lent money but also found jobs for Fang Jing's parents to help them through the difficult times.

Fang Jing has always been grateful.

After graduating from university, he passed a series of interviews and joined the Xue Group. He started from the most basic position and was promoted step by step to middle-level management in the technical department with his own abilities.

"Because of my special identity, Xue Ruiguo has always been wary of me, so this is the only information he has found so far."

As he spoke, he handed over a file bag.

Xue Yi reached out and took it.

Their fingertips accidentally touched lightly, and he quickly withdrew his hand, his expression normal.

Xue Yi's mind was completely focused on the information and she didn't pay attention. When she finished looking through all the data carefully, the dishes were served.

The plate in front of her was unknowingly filled with shrimps that Fang Jing had peeled for her.

Xue Yi lowered his eyes and said softly, "You really don't have to do this."

Deliberately trying to please her, as if I owed her something.

He is so outstanding. He graduated from a double first-class university and became a middle-level manager at a young age. He is good-looking and has a good temper. If it weren't for the change in his family, he would have been regarded as a favored child in the eyes of everyone.

Fang Jing just smiled gently: "If you don't like it, I won't peel it next time."

Xue Yi pursed her lips: "I hope we can still get along like we did in high school."

Fang Jing was silent for a moment, his eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "Okay."

After lunch, Fang Jing drove her home.

On the way, he casually asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Xue Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized that tomorrow was Chinese Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, she was destined to spend it alone.

"He should be at home."

Fang Jing stared ahead, tightening his grip on the steering wheel: "If everything is alright, I..."

"bite--"

The cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting him.

Xue Yi glanced at the caller ID, and her originally calm expression was instantly filled with joy.

She cleared her throat and answered the phone, her voice unconsciously softening: "Hello?"

A clear and youthful voice came from the other end of the phone: "I just got home. What are you doing?"

"On my way home."

Perhaps it was because they had confirmed their feelings for each other, and after last night's confession, Yu Zeyuan seemed to have completely liberated his heart. Without any hesitation, he said bluntly, "I miss you."

Xue Yi glanced at Fang Jing beside him and replied softly, "Yeah."

"Why are you reacting so coldly?"

His tone was a little coquettish: "I was scolded by my elder brother again today."

"Why?"

"It's because of the hair and the clothes, but I'm used to it."

Xue Yi thought of his dazzling silver hair and shiny earrings, which indeed made the elders think that he looked like a bad boy.

She consoled him, "Well, they don't know how to appreciate it. I think it's beautiful."

"real?"

His voice revealed a hint of joy, but then it fell again. "Unfortunately, I have to dye my hair back soon. I have an important project with my brother in a few days, so I have to dress formally. I'll wear the suit you gave me then."

"Okay, remember to take a picture and show it to me."

“But I’m not good at taking pictures.”

Xue Yi smiled, thinking that as long as she was good-looking, it would be fine. Thinking of the people next to her, she said, "It doesn't matter..."

Fang Jing's voice suddenly came from my ears: "We're here."

Yu Zeyuan noticed that there was someone beside her and immediately asked cautiously, "Who is the man next to you?"

Xue Yi didn't want to lie, so she lowered her voice and said, "It's my childhood friend. I'm home now, let's talk tonight."

Yu Zeyuan wanted to ask more, but then he remembered his previous promise and chose to trust her: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xue Yi put away the smile on her face and said to Fang Jing, "Thank you."

Fang Jing looked at her with a deep gaze: "Is he your boyfriend?"

Xue Yi did not deny it and admitted generously: "Well, by the way, what did you want to say just now?"

Fang Jing forced a smile, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of desolation: "Nothing. You didn't even tell me you were no longer single. That's really not nice of you. We're still childhood friends."

Xue Yi unbuckled her seatbelt and said with a smile, "Didn't we just confirm our relationship yesterday? Next time you bring him out, I'll treat you and Yingying to dinner! I'm leaving now!"

Fang Jing looked at her departing back, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes.

It was yesterday...

*

Not long after Xue Yi got off the car, her cell phone vibrated. She looked down and saw it was a message from Yu Zeyuan.

Y: [I'm about to dye my hair, so I'll show you one last look. [Picture]]

When I opened the chat box, a selfie came into view.

In the photo, his delicate facial features are particularly clear under the light, his skin is fair and delicate, and a few strands of silver hair fall casually in front of his forehead, adding a bit of unruly look.

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at the camera affectionately, as if they could penetrate the screen and reach her heart.
