Chapter 39 Alumni Relations
Xiao Xuanjin didn't drive fast, perhaps out of consideration for her, and he rarely accelerated along the way.
Su Mi occasionally looked out the window, occasionally looked at his profile, quietly.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Xuanjin unexpectedly broke the silence first, "Why did you suddenly have a high fever?"
Su Mi answered obediently, "It's just that the weather is cold, and I caught a cold due to the change of seasons."
"I don't have enough clothes."
Su Mi touched his coat and said, "It's quite thick. Everyone else is wearing so much."
Xiao Xuanjin held the steering wheel in his hand and glanced at her sideways. "Winter is much colder than this. What will you do then?"
Su Mi didn't say anything. Yes, there was no winter at all in Jiangcheng. It was spring all year round. She had never seen a real winter.
Xiao Xuanjin asked again, "Are you used to living in the dormitory?"
"sure."
"I have a property next to the school, a large flat, about 300 square meters. If you don't like the dormitory, you can live there. The conditions are better."
Su Mi's jaw almost dropped. What did Xiao Xuanjin mean? She was living with him?
Why do I feel like he wants to hide his beloved in a golden house?
"Why...why did you give me the house?"
Xiao Xuanjin seemed to understand her thoughts and smiled, "Isn't it good for you to live with me? This way we can be together day and night."
Su Mi's pretty face turned red, "You... are obscene."
Then she looked out the window angrily and no longer looked at him.
She didn't know if it was because the heater in the car was turned on high enough, but she felt very hot.
While Xiao Xuanjin was waiting for the red light, he turned around to look at her and saw that her cheeks were flushed, which added a bit of charm to her. "Didn't you always say that you liked me? Are you afraid now?"
Su Mi was angry and ignored him.
Xiao Xuanjin continued, "In other words, you were lying to me about liking me, and that's why you refused to spend every day with me."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Mi's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw Xiao Xuanjin with a cunning look on his face and an evil smile, obviously trying to tease him on purpose.
Su Mi complained, "You just know how to bully me."
The green light came on, and Xiao Xuanjin restarted the car, and then stopped harassing her, "Don't you know where I live? You're so easily frightened."
Su Mi thought about it and realized that yes, she had been to Xiao Xuanjin's residence, that small Western-style building.
So he was just teasing her on purpose.
Su Mi glanced at him and said, "Even so, I can't live in your house."
She has just started, but it's too fast for her to enter the mainstream.
"What's the difference between yours and mine? From now on...what's mine will be yours." Xiao Xuanjin said this casually.
Su Mi didn't know whether he was serious or just saying it casually, but after hearing it, she felt inexplicably upset.
There were many rich second-generation men who pursued her in the past, and her ears were numb from hearing all those sweet words. She is no longer sensitive to such words.
But Xiao Xuanjin is not the type of person who would often say sweet words to coax girls. He has always had a bad temper and rarely says nice words. When he suddenly says something like this, it always makes people feel very rare and pleasant.
It turns out that Xiao Xuanjin can treat a girl so gently, he is completely different from usual...
Su Mi rubbed his hands around his legs, feeling a little nervous.
Just at this moment the car stopped and I only heard him say, "We're here."
Looking out from Su Mi, it is a Chinese restaurant with classical decoration, vermilion carved doors and windows, and exquisite and beautiful patterns, which has a strong traditional flavor.
The big red lanterns hanging high in the lobby emit warm and soft light, making the entire space cozy and elegant.
Xiao Xuanjin took her directly into the private room, and the waiters were very respectful to him along the way.
After sitting down, Su Mi looked around calmly. The tables and chairs were all made of solid wood with exquisite craftsmanship. There were also antique paintings hanging on the walls, with poetic ink and a strong cultural atmosphere.
It's obvious that this is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Xiao Xuanjin sat opposite her and told the waiter, "Serve the dishes as usual first."
"OK."
While the waiter was out making arrangements, Xiao Xuanjin pushed the menu in front of her and said, "Order whatever you want."
Su Mi opened it and took a few looks before he realized that this restaurant serves nutritional meals, even the porridge is healthy.
The dishes are also extremely exquisite, and many of them are added with precious supplements. As for the prices, they are staggering.
Su Mi closed the menu and said, "Actually, just eat something casually. There's no need to spend so much money."
"You fainted today, and you still plan to eat?"
Xiao Xuanjin's tone was neither hot nor cold, but Su Mi could hear his tone of not refusing.
She smiled suddenly, a little helpless, "But I can't afford it here."
"You didn't have to spend any money, so you can eat without worries in the future."
"What? In the future?" Su Mi asked, grasping his words.
"Well, I've reserved a month's worth of nutritious meals for you. Just eat them on time."
"What?" Su Mi stood up excitedly.
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her with amusement, "What? Are you too happy?"
Su Mi twirled his fingers, "I... can't come here to eat every day, I still have classes to go to."
"Don't worry about that. If you can't come, I'll have them deliver the food to you."
Su Mi didn't want to accept his kindness in such an unclear way, and didn't want to owe him anything.
"Xiao Xuanjin, I can't accept this."
"Why?" Xiao Xuanjin was not angry, he just asked her the reason.
Su Mi stammered, "You and I...are just schoolmates. I...can't accept your things with a clear conscience."
Xiao Xuanjin rested his forearm on the table, raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and snorted when he saw that she was shouting out their alumni relationship like that.
"Alumni?"
"Yes, what else? Isn't it?"
Su Mi was expecting something from him, hoping that he would say something that would advance their relationship.
Xiao Xuanjin smiled, "Sit down first, I'll tell you slowly."
Only then did Su Mi sit down again.
"Do you feel uncomfortable with our current relationship and accepting all this?"
Su Mi nodded.
"Okay, then what kind of relationship can you accept with peace of mind?"
When Su Mi heard this, he was dumbfounded.
She threw it to him, he took a few turns, and then gave it to her again.
Kick it back and forth like a ball.
But in that case, it shouldn't be the girl who speaks first.
Although she had shamelessly said it many times before, at this critical moment, she really hoped that Xiao Xuanjin would take the initiative to bring it up.
"It's not an alumni relationship anyway."
She gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
Xiao Xuanjin calmly picked up the crystal pot and poured water, then spoke, "Double compensation, this time counts as one."
"What? But shouldn't I be the one to ask for compensation?"
"If you don't tell me, I can only make the decision on my own. Besides, given your current physical condition, you need to take some supplements."
Su Mi made up his mind, "Then I will talk about the next compensation now."
She was worried that if she didn't say anything, Xiao Xuanjin would make the decision for her again.
"Oh? Have you thought about it? Okay, go ahead."
Su Mi bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I... don't want to be your schoolmate."
