Chapter 53: Settlement of Accounts
Su Mi just sat down on the sofa and remembered that the meal needed to be heated up.
"Go heat up the food."
It's very easy to command.
Xiao Xuanjin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her, "Susu, do you want to eat first or settle the bill first?"
Settlement of scores? Was it about her escaping from the battlefield and the incident with Gu Muqing?
Thinking of this, Su Mi closed his eyes and immediately stood up, "I'll go heat up the food."
After saying that, he ran faster than a rabbit and ran into the kitchen.
Just tossed around for a long time, "Where's your pot?"
“I don’t know how to use it either.”
"You're so stingy! I have to heat up the food myself."
She was muttering to herself while searching, and when Xiao Xuanjin came over, he heard her mumbling.
She was squatting on the ground and rummaging through the cabinets, looking like a complaining child.
Xiao Xuanjin stood in front of the counter, opened the two people's food boxes, and said casually, "Miss, have you ever cooked?"
Su Mi was about to say no, but when he thought of his current personality, he shut his mouth again.
When she turned around, she saw Xiao Xuanjin had already poured the food from the takeaway box into a plate, and then put it into the smart steamer behind her.
Su Mi stood up, leaned against the counter, and watched Xiao Xuanjin work.
He turned around and glanced at her, "Go wait over there."
"oh."
Su Mi sat at the dining table, supporting her chin with her hands, waiting for Xiao Xuanjin to bring the hot dishes.
In a short while, he had everything ready.
He brought it to her and said, "Eat it quickly."
Su Mi picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
This meal was really a series of twists and turns, and I only got to eat now.
She looked up and saw Xiao Xuanjin eating too. Thinking of He Fei saying that he hadn't eaten in the morning, she reminded him, "Eat more."
Xiao Xuanjin raised his eyes to look at her, "Care about me?"
Su Mi nodded sincerely, "Of course, I don't care about others."
This was quite helpful. Xiao Xuanjin's lips curled up wantonly, "Then... does that include Gu Muqing?"
These words... were too jealous, and he actually already knew Gu Mucheng's name.
Su Mi was silent for a few seconds and did not answer. At this moment, such silence seemed like an invisible confrontation.
The smile that Xiao Xuanjin had just raised faded, and his intense gaze pressed deeply on her.
Su Mi knew that he was unhappy, and it was a good thing. The more angry he was, the faster she would complete her task.
So, she chose to play dead, lowering her head to avoid his gaze. She could obviously explain it, but she couldn't do it now.
He also felt very sorry for Gu Mucheng, as she used this to anger Xiao Xuanjin, and he thought about finding a way to compensate him in the future.
During the meal, both of them were silent, and the only sound in the room was the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the bowls and plates.
It wasn't until Su Mi heard the sound of chopsticks being put down on the opposite side that Xiao Xuanjin finished eating. He pulled out the chair and walked back to the sofa. From what he heard, he was pouring wine again.
Su Mi quickly finished her meal, thinking of testing his reaction.
After all, the system said that his attitude when he was angry could better reflect his feelings.
She took small steps to his front and saw that he was drinking again.
"Then I...will go back first."
After saying that, she observed his reaction.
Xiao Xuanjin placed the goblet on the coffee table with a click.
He leaned back on the sofa and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not too late to settle the accounts before you leave."
Su Mi thought, it’s over, it’s over, can she still leave alive?
The inner calling system said, "Xiao Xing, I angered him as you wished. From now on, you have to protect me."
[Host, this is just the beginning. Don't worry, his anger level is far from enough.]
"What? That's not enough? What is enough?"
[Well, there's no specific algorithm, but it's definitely not like it is now.]
Su Mi felt numb after hearing this. This wasn't enough. Then how long should she keep jumping on Xiao Xuanjin's head?
Xiao Xuanjin saw her standing there for a long time, with a look of grief and anger on her face, as if she was having some ideological struggle.
"Um?"
Su Mi calmed down and said, "You do the math, I'm listening."
Xiao Xuanjin didn't say anything, walked to the wine cabinet, took out another highball glass, and poured wine.
"Do you dare to drink?"
This single man and single woman were in the same room. Although Su Mi could drink quite well, he still felt that many things would become uncontrollable after drinking.
"I……"
"Are you afraid of me?" Xiao Xuanjin seemed to see through her thoughts and glanced at her.
Su Mi gritted her teeth. Since her anger value was not high enough, all her efforts today were in vain. She had to solve the problem quickly.
Thinking of this, she bent down and picked up the wine glass and asked, "How about I drink this glass as an apology to you?"
She bent down and moved closer. Under her furry coat was a black low-necked sweater. Her collarbone was faintly visible, and even the lines of her chest were vaguely visible.
Xiao Xuanjin's throat rolled, he snatched the wine glass from her hand and put it down, then pulled her onto his lap.
Su Mi let out a low cry as he held her waist and her hands.
"It's not that troublesome."
Su Mi looked at the dark fire hidden in his eyes and swallowed hard, "I can drink it."
"But I don't want to now."
Go ahead, he moved his hand from her waist to the back of her head, bringing her lips to his.
Hold it in your mouth and invade.
Su Mi was forced to cooperate. He took the initiative and lured her into falling.
At some point, she was placed on the sofa, and he pressed her down, still refusing to let her go easily.
He kissed her hard, with his usual ferocity. In a daze, Su Mi heard Xiao Xuanjin call out, "Qingqing?"
Su Mi's heart sank instantly, and she pushed him, "What did you say?"
Xiao Xuanjin breathed heavily, staring at her delicate red lips, and smiled evilly, "Didn't he call you that?"
"That's my nickname... a lot of my friends call me that." Su Mi's cheeks flushed as she tried to explain.
"Friend? Didn't you say you were from the same hometown last time?"
Su Mi knew that Xiao Xuanjin was planning to settle the score later.
"Let's not talk about him, okay? You have to believe me, if there's a possibility between him and me, then there's nothing for you to do either, what do you think?"
The girl under him was soft and gentle, and what she said was reasonable and well-founded, so Xiao Xuanjin almost believed it.
But he could never forget the thing on Gu Mucheng's arm. He saw it with his own eyes. She put it on him under the tree that time.
And she also had one. The same thing in the hands of the two of them was like a token of trust that was obvious to him. Every time he saw it, he felt extremely glared.
Thinking of this, he sat up, his whole body was cold, and there was an unrelieved depression between his dark eyebrows.
That thing shouldn't exist...it's better to destroy it...
Then he thought of something, licked his lips, and there was a strange and rampant undercurrent in his eyes.
When Su Mi saw him get up, she also sat up from the sofa. Her hair was a little frizzy, so she combed it.
Then she saw Xiao Xuanjin's current appearance, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
