Chapter 75: Kiss is not enough
Xiao Xuanjin instantly became interested after hearing her words, his eyes lit up, "What's more exciting?"
"If you want to know, you have to let me go first."
Xiao Xuanjin really let her go.
As soon as Su Mi felt him loosen up, she immediately stepped back a few steps and asked, "Is it exciting?"
After saying that, she opened the door and ran out.
Xiao Xuanjin knew that he had been tricked. He put his tongue against his cheek, stood up, and followed him out.
Su Mi was not familiar with this western-style building. After coming out, he accidentally rushed into a room.
When I turned on the lights, I realized that this was a projection room.
Xiao Xuanjin followed her in and saw her flipping through the discs. He smiled wickedly and asked, "Want to watch a movie?"
"Just take a look." Su Mi lowered his head to search, then realized the meaning of Xiao Xuanjin's words, and gave him a glare.
Xiao Xuanjin didn't care at all. He sat down on the sofa with a swagger, and his words were still so nonchalant, "Don't worry, I'll do whatever you want to see. It's rare that you are interested, so I'll accompany you. Who made me... so easy to talk to."
Su Mi ignored his distorted words and found a suspense film to watch.
This film revolves around several serial disappearances.
Su Mi slowly began to notice. Xiao Xuanjin sat next to her and occasionally opened some snacks to feed her.
"Susu."
"Um?"
Su Mi was still looking at the screen and didn't have time to look at him.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Xuanjin could only take out the remote control and press pause.
Su Mi then looked at the culprit and glared at him unhappily.
Who knew Xiao Xuanjin would be serious at this moment? "It's almost 12 o'clock."
Today is New Year's Eve, and twelve o'clock means the New Year is coming.
Then I heard him ask, "Want to see the fireworks?"
Su Mi nodded involuntarily.
Finally, Xiao Xuanjin brought her to the rooftop. He looked down at his watch and calculated the time.
Su Mi looked at the still quiet night sky, and his heart was rarely immersed in peace.
Xiao Xuanjin suddenly put his arm around her shoulders, his voice filled with hope for the future, but also a little off-key, "Susu, I've made up my mind. How about I bear the brunt of the situation and spend New Year's Eve with you every year?"
Su Mi was distracted. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the last one. She looked up at him. The boy's eyes were clear and bright, without any impurities. He was the most dazzling presence in the dark night.
"Then why don't you go back to be with your family?"
"That's why I said I was wronged. I can just go back to visit my family on New Year's Day."
Su Mi said "oh" and nothing else happened.
Xiao Xuanjin pinched her face and said, "Susu...you are not being honest. You haven't answered me yet."
Su Mi didn't want to lie to him anymore at this moment. After all, there was no need.
She frowned and muttered, "It hurts."
"No, I didn't use any force." Xiao Xuanjin felt that she was trying to scam me.
Su Mi covered her face and yelled, "It just hurts."
"No way." Xiao Xuanjin stretched out his hand and pinched the other side hard.
Su Mi howled on the spot, "Xiao! Xuan! Jin! Seeking! Death!"
As if to hit him, Xiao Xuanjin dodged and moved back. Su Mi continued to move forward. Xiao Xuanjin suddenly stopped and Su Mi pounced on him.
Just as he was about to start, Xiao Xuanjin suddenly said, "Susu, let's start."
Su Mi only heard a "whoosh" sound that cut through the sky. Looking back, he saw a golden number exploding in the night.
The countdown to the New Year has begun.
In the square in the distance, people were gathering together, everyone waiting for this moment.
Su Mi watched the number getting smaller and smaller, and cheers came from afar. When the last number was shouted out, countless dazzling fireworks exploded in the sky.
At the same time, Su Mi was hugged tightly in Xiao Xuanjin's arms, and he said softly, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year!"
Su Mi leaned on his shoulder, feeling his body temperature through his clothes, her heart filled with mixed emotions. His embrace was still as warm as ever, but she had to push him away in the end. She could not cling to this warmth, and it would no longer belong to her in the future.
"Xiao Jinjin, I have thought of my first wish."
Taking advantage of the now boundless warm and joyful atmosphere, she wanted to say something.
Xiao Xuanjin was obviously in a good mood. He let go of her, his eyes bright as he asked expectantly, "What's your wish?"
Su Mi looked up at him, held his hand tightly, and said with a firm look, "I hope you can let go of the past and take on the responsibilities that you should have taken."
Xiao Xuanjin was stunned for a moment, then forced a hard smile, "What are you talking about? The wish is for you..."
"I'm serious, this is what I want."
Xiao Xuanjin turned his face away, let go of her hand, walked to the side, and turned his back to her, his back looking desolate.
The good atmosphere between the two was instantly broken.
Su Mi walked over and stood beside him. "You deliberately acted like you were naughty and unable to handle the heavy responsibility, just because you didn't want your family to have too high hopes for you. But, have you ever thought that your evasive behavior just shows that you are timid and cowardly? Are you worthy of the training of your grandfather who entrusted you with such an important task?"
"Stop talking." Xiao Xuanjin exhaled heavily, his voice trembling a little.
Su Mi knew about Xiao Xuanjin's grades in various subjects, which were very average. However, based on her understanding of Xiao Xuanjin, he was not unlearned. Instead, he had a thorough understanding of various knowledge.
Then there is only one reason, that he did it on purpose.
I heard from the system before that his change happened after Mr. Xiao passed away, which means that his heart knot is with Mr. Xiao.
"I've heard some rumors about Mr. Xiao. He was tenacious, brave, and upright throughout his life, and he's revered by future generations. I think if he's still alive, he definitely wouldn't want to see you like this."
"Xiao Xuanjin, you have to understand that your brilliance will not disappear just because you try to hide it."
After Su Mi finished speaking, he didn't know whether Xiao Xuanjin heard it or not, but he didn't say anything anyway.
But no matter what he thought, she had to say it.
The system once said that Xiao Xuanjin's current personality was due to his smooth sailing since childhood, but she didn't think so.
That time, on the anniversary of Mr. Xiao's death, Su Mi saw the hidden pain in his heart. Coupled with the contrast between him and before, it was enough to show that his change was due to Mr. Xiao's death.
Since she was about to leave, she naturally had to achieve the purpose stated by the system and work hard to get Xiao Xuanjin back on the right track.
His behavior of escaping from reality now is not advisable.
As long as he is willing to stop running away from now on, face the past calmly, and shoulder the responsibilities and burdens that belong on his shoulders, Su Mi's trip will be complete.
She reached out and tugged at his sleeve, then softened her tone, "You said you would help me realize my wish."
This time, Xiao Xuanjin did not agree to her directly, nor was he as easy to talk to as before. He turned and left.
Su Mi knew that he needed time and did not force him.
He looked back at the evening night which had begun to return to silence and sighed deeply.
She returned to the room, but Xiao Xuanjin was not there.
Finally she sat on the sofa and waited, thinking that he would come back eventually.
As a result, I fell asleep in a daze while waiting.
When Xiao Xuanjin came back, Su Mi was sleeping soundly with his head tilted against the sofa cushion.
He walked over, picked her up and carried her to the bed.
Looking at her cute and adorable appearance in her sleep, he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on the mouth again and again.
I feel like I can never kiss enough.
He was reluctant to leave after a while, looking at her tender and beautiful lips, his voice hoarse, "Now that I've indulged you, you've become even bolder and dare to say anything."
