Xu Yanfeng picked up the phone and asked her, "Are you done so soon?"

In the previous call, she said she had to stay up late to finish the drawings. It’s not even nine o’clock yet and she’s already done?

"We're just getting started." Xia Xi still felt cold standing in the corner. She turned sideways and closed the half-open window. "I'll call you during halftime. We'll go back and play again later."

On the phone, Xu Yanfeng chuckled.

His smile is usually reserved. When he encounters something pleasant, the corners of his mouth curl up slightly, but he rarely laughs out loud.

Xia Xi listened to his laughter and forgot what she was going to say for a moment. She put her hands on the windowsill. The window glass reflected her somewhat dazed expression. Three seconds later, she laughed too.

"If you finish it sooner, you can rest earlier. Why are you calling me?" His voice was low and gentle.

"Is it okay if I miss you?" Xia Xi teased him deliberately.

Xu Yanfeng was already used to it: "Okay."

Xia Xi smiled foolishly, coughed, and then remembered the business and said, "Do you know when my birthday is?"

Although he didn't know why she suddenly asked this question, Xu Yanfeng answered without hesitation: "March 25th."

Xia Xi patiently and patiently introduced the topic, "Did you prepare a birthday present for me?"

Xu Yanfeng's face was slightly serious, and he figured out something was wrong: "Prepared." He just finished it today, how did she know?

Thinking for a moment, Xu Yanfeng immediately thought of the people who knew about this: Fu Li, Tang Yizhou, Luo Jinnan, and Cui Xingyuan. First, Cui Xingyuan was ruled out. His mouth was tighter than a screw and there was no way he would reveal a single word to anyone. Besides, Cui Lu didn't recognize Xia Xi.

Fu Li is a steady person and would never say this in front of Xia Xi.

That left only Tang Yizhou and Luo Jinnan. They had only met Xia Xi a few times, so how could they have tipped her off? They certainly wouldn't have gone all the way to Nanjing University to find her...

Xu Yanfeng asked directly: "Who told you?"

Xia Xi pondered for a moment and kept it a secret: "Guess."

Xu Yanfeng thought for two seconds and said in a deep voice: "It's Tang Yizhou." Although he didn't know how he contacted Xia Xi, it was most likely him.

On the other end of the phone, Xia Xi gasped. This guy's guess was too accurate. He locked onto the target the moment he opened his mouth. How did he do that? She didn't even give him a hint.

Her silence just confirmed Xu Yanfeng's suspicion. He was displeased with Tang Yizhou's meddling. "What else did he say to you? He's a mean-spirited man. No matter what he says, don't listen to him, not a single word."

Xia Xi smiled nonchalantly and looked at her nails that needed trimming. "You think I'll suffer a loss? Oh, I'm even more mean-spirited than him. I pissed him off half to death. I guess he's hiding somewhere and shutting himself up right now."

Xu Yanfeng: “…”

Somehow the scene of her scolding Zhou Xiaoyu so much that she ran away crying popped up in my mind.

Indeed, she is not someone to be trifled with.

"Xu Yanfeng." Xia Xi rarely called his name seriously. She sighed before continuing, "Are you stupid? Who gives a birthday present to..." She wanted to laugh even when she said the word "shares". "Anyway, I don't want that. You are not allowed to give it to me."

Xu Yanfeng frowned. He thought giving her all his fortune was his sincerity.

"Why?" he asked.

"You, you still ask me why. Of course it's because it's too expensive, I can't afford it." Xia Xi said in a half-joking tone, "Of course, if you say this is your betrothal gift, then I will accept it all without hesitation. But, is this it?"

Xu Yanfeng: "If you want, it can be."

Xia Xi covered her mouth, shocked and speechless.

What does he mean, does he want to marry her?

Xia Xi lowered the hand covering her mouth and pressed it tightly against her chest. She swallowed and said, "Wait a minute... Wait a minute. I'm scared. Let me calm down."

Xu Yanfeng didn't say anything, giving her enough time to recover.

A long moment passed, Xia Xi still in shock, her heartbeat as fast as if she had just jumped. She took a deep breath and said, "It's too early." Her face flushed, and she felt a little defeated. She whispered, "I'm still a student."

It was really terrible. Xu Yanfeng was a person who never actively said sweet words, but just a casual word from him almost cost her half her life.

Xia Xi quickly hung up the phone and emphasized to him before ending: "I won't sign that contract, so don't give it to me. Ah, I have to go to work. See you tomorrow. Bye."

Xia Xi felt very hot and fanned her face with her hands, but it didn't work, so she pushed open the tightly closed window. The cold wind blew across her cheeks, taking away a layer of heat, but it couldn't blow away the heat in her heart.

Xu Yanfeng was too much. How could she concentrate on finishing her drawings like that?

*

Xu Yanfeng threw the reprinted contract into the shredder, and countless pieces fell into a transparent box. He leaned against the back of the chair, his face looking gloomy under the light.

She said it was too early...

He possessed her much more than she did him. She only wanted to possess him as a person, but he was different. He wanted to possess everything about her, her future, her life.

Is he too greedy and paranoid?

Xu Yanfeng lowered his head, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers twice, and felt depressed. He called Tang Yizhuo and scolded him for being nosy.

As soon as Tang Yizhou got home, Xu Yanfeng scolded him coldly before he even sat down on the stool. He was angry and aggrieved, and had no place to vent his anger, so he transferred his anger to Xia Xi, the culprit, and sent her a lot of WeChat messages.

Tang Yizhou: "Did you complain to Xu Er?"

Tang Yizhou: "What did you tell him?"

Tang Yizhou: "I knew you were a scheming woman!"
