Chapter 69: Accompany Her

Xiao Beisheng took the bowl stained with detergent from her hand and took over her job of washing.

"Why, do you feel sorry for him?"

"I'm just wondering why you wanted to get him drunk."

Xiao Beisheng asked without further ado, "Did he see you dancing just now?"

"Anyone with eyes can see it." Su Man retorted to him.

“Suman, don’t you know that it’s easy to fall in love with you just by watching you dance?”

Xiao Beisheng's words gave Su Man goosebumps, but Xiao Beisheng remained expressionless and lowered his head to wash his dishes.

His fingers were slender, with distinct knuckles and neatly trimmed nails. The rushing water washed over the back of his hand, where the veins were clearly defined. There was a kind of beauty in it, and Su Man looked at it a few more times.

Xiao Beisheng turned off the water switch, and the pleasing scene came to an abrupt end.

Su Man came back to her senses and said stubbornly: "Is this the reason why you got him drunk?"

Xiao Beisheng turned around and faced Su Man, staring at her straight in the eyes.

Su Man was startled and closed her mouth in disappointment, but she met his gaze without giving in.

Xiao Beisheng stared at her with some amusement and slowly walked towards her.

One step, two steps.

Su Man was so scared that she stepped back.

"What?" She frowned.

Xiao Beisheng leaned towards her, his handsome face gradually magnified in her eyes. He even looked down at her lips with a hint of teasing.

Su Man felt his pressure, and her heart beat like a drum.

When he was about to kiss her, she subconsciously closed her eyes.

One second.

Two seconds.

…

Time passed by minute by minute, but the kiss still did not come.

Su Man opened her eyes in confusion. Xiao Beisheng's playful smile was already spreading. He raised his hand and put the plate into the disinfection cabinet behind Su Man, then stood up and left Su Man. "I just want to put a plate, what do you think I want to do?"

Su Man was so embarrassed that her face turned red like a big tomato.

He was playing tricks on her!

But Xiao Beisheng still insisted: "What were you expecting just now?"

"I wasn't expecting it!"

Su Man said this and turned and walked out of the kitchen, Xiao Beisheng followed her out with a smile.

Just then, Qiao Shixin came back. She had just sent Song Lin away, and her face still showed an unsatisfied look. After coming back, she couldn't wait to open the gift Song Lin gave her.

Xiao Beisheng glanced at Qiao Shiyan, who was lying on the dining table, drunk and unconscious, and said, "I'll carry her upstairs. Later, you can find an excuse to send the girl away and come with me."

Su Man had a question mark on her face, "Why should I go out with you?"

Without waiting for Su Man to respond, Xiao Beisheng walked to the dining table, pulled Qiao Shiyan up, put him on his shoulders, and took Qiao Shiyan upstairs.

When passing by Su Man, Su Man tried to call him: "Hey...!"

Xiao Beisheng didn't even look at her and took Qiao Shiyan upstairs.

Suman: ...

She walked to Qiao Shixin's side and asked, "What did Song Lin give you?"

"It's a pair of dancing shoes! I've had my eye on this style for a long time. I posted it on WeChat Moments once, and I didn't expect him to notice it... He's coming to dinner today because he saw the WeChat Moments post I posted about you and your brother shopping at the supermarket. Teacher Su, do you think Brother Song Lin cares about me a little bit?"

The word "also" means that she also cares about Song Lin.

In fact, Su Man had already noticed some clues, but she was not 100% sure.

"Song Lin, is he the male god you were talking about?" Su Man asked teasingly.

Qiao Shixin blushed, "I can't hide anything from Teacher Su."

"You're so obvious. From the moment he walked in, I felt something was wrong with your attitude towards him. What's the point of calling him the neighbor's brother that makes you so excited? And he happens to be my student, so we're on the same page now."

"I used to be a neighbor of Brother Song Lin, but he later came to Haicheng to work, so we separated. When we were little, we went to school and went home together. I never expected that he would come here to attend university."

Or childhood sweethearts.

Su Man nodded: "There must be a will in the universe."

Qiao Shixin felt even more embarrassed and changed the subject: "Teacher Su, open it and see what Brother Song Lin gave you."

Qiao Shixin was very curious, so Su Man took it apart.

The box was smaller than Qiao Shixin's. Qiao Shixin muttered, "Brother Song Lin is so mean. Today we're mainly celebrating Teacher Su's award. He should at least give her a very expensive gift."

Although she said that, Qiao Shixin was actually very happy in her heart.

She believed that in Song Lin's heart, she was the most important.

Even the reason why Song Lin came to celebrate today was because of her.

Unexpectedly, when Suman took out the bag, it contained the logo of a famous luxury brand and an exquisite velvet box.

Su Man opened it and found a women's watch inlaid with diamonds. It was exquisite, dazzling and low-key luxurious.

"This watch is the latest model this year. It is limited edition worldwide and you can't get it without several million." Xiao Beisheng came down from upstairs at some point and slowly walked behind the two of them.

Qiao Shixin was stunned. Su Man noticed her expression and couldn't help but say, "Song Lin's gift is too expensive. He must have made a mistake."

Qiao Shixin hesitantly said, "No, Brother Song Lin wouldn't be so confused. I was saying, how could Brother Song Lin not know that Teacher Su is the protagonist today? It's only right for him to give Teacher Su an expensive gift."

After saying that, he muttered softly: "It's just that I didn't expect him to be so generous... I knew that Brother Song Lin's family was rich, but I didn't know he was so rich. I didn't expect Uncle Song to give him so much pocket money."

Qiao Shixin convinced herself, and Su Man was just breathing a sigh of relief when Xiao Beisheng next to her suddenly said, "There's nothing wrong with giving a gift to a teacher, but it's not normal to give a gift of such a high value."

Adding fuel to the fire for no reason.

Suman glared at him.

Xiao Beisheng signaled her with his eyes to go out with him.

Su Man turned away angrily and ignored him.

Xiao Beisheng raised his eyebrows and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Teacher Su, I see that this male student of yours treats you very differently..."

"It's very late, Mr. Xiao, shouldn't you go home? Shi Xin has to go to school tomorrow, and you have to work too. Come back early, and I'll take you out."

Su Man interrupted him and turned to Qiao Shixin and said, "I'll take Mr. Xiao out. You should go back to your room and rest early."

"Okay, Teacher Su." Qiao Shixin responded obediently.

Xiao Beisheng succeeded and took Su Man out.

His car was parked at the door. He motioned Suman to get in. Suman thought about it and opened the passenger door and sat in.

Xiao Beisheng drove the car and stopped when it reached the riverside.

"What are you doing here?" Su Man asked.

Xiao Beisheng turned around and picked up a large bag from the back seat. "This is a gift for you, a congratulatory gift."

Su Man was slightly surprised. She thought Xiao Beisheng had already taken her to celebrate in Country F, but she didn't expect that he had prepared another gift.

"Open it and take a look. This gift is no less valuable than the one your student gave me."

Su Man opened the box and saw a set of green jade jewelry inside. She was stunned. "It's a laurel crown jewelry designed and made by the British royal family for the royal chief dancer last century. Isn't it on display in a museum? Did you buy it?"

"The items I bought at the auction needed to be signed in person, so I had no choice but to leave for England yesterday. Fortunately, I returned tonight and was able to have a hot meal."

"You went to England? You didn't go to the hospital to accompany Luo Yan?"
