Chapter 68: High-profile display of love

Xiao Xuanjin looked at her tense appearance, with a barely perceptible smirk in his eyes, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"That... I really don't know what's inside. You have to believe me."

Xiao Xuanjin raised his hand and touched her face, "Of course I believe you."

"and you……"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. It won't delay you from wearing it."

It would be terrible if you wore that.

Su Mi bit her lower lip, wanting to cry but unable to. She just felt that Xiao Xuanjin was being particularly annoying today. "It's not necessary to wear it. Let's just pretend it doesn't exist."

"How can you pretend that the gift you gave me doesn't exist?"

"It's okay, I allowed it. It's not the main gift anyway."

Su Mi just hoped that he could get over this as soon as possible.

"Susu...you look so..."

He bent down slightly, put his mouth close to her ear, and exhaled softly, "Very...cute."

Su Mi stared at him, then noticed the mockery in his eyes.

She hit him angrily, "You are teasing me on purpose again."

"This is called flirting." Xiao Xuanjin glanced at the flashing neon lights outside the window, "Su Su, this is my Christmas present for you."

"What?" Su Mi was surprised. Didn't he already send it?

Looking back, I saw a huge screen lighting up on the towering Century Building in the distance.

There was a photo projected on it. The girl in the photo was wearing a pearl-colored down jacket and a star-colored scarf. Her chin was hidden in the scarf, her almond-shaped eyes were smiling like ripples, and she was raising her hands to catch snowflakes. She looked bright and charming.

At this moment, the photo seemed to have life, shining brightly in the night.

There was a line of words on the photo: "Merry Christmas, Su Su."

Su Mi was shocked and looked at the photo carefully. Suddenly he remembered, isn’t this the same outfit I wore on the day I bought the gift?

How could Xiao Xuanjin have that?

Suddenly she thought of something and looked at the man next to her. "You...were you following me that day?"

Xiao Xuanjin knew he had exposed himself, and admitted it without blushing, "How can that be called stalking? I was... protecting you."

Su Mi didn't really care and even praised him, "It's a good photo, but it would be better if you could photoshop it a little bit."

Boys like Xiao Xuanjin definitely don't know how to help girls retouch photos.

"No, I think it's fine."

The two of them stood side by side. Su Mi looked up at him and saw him looking at the photo outside affectionately and firmly.

This is Xiao Xuanjin's loud and direct way of expression. It should be difficult for any girl to resist.

He put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms. Su Mi leaned on his shoulder, looking at the romantic light outside and the image of the two of them cuddling reflected on the glass.

The room was silent, so silent that it seemed as if the only sound they could hear was the other person's heartbeat, and every heartbeat was exceptionally clear in the silence.

…

Xiao Xuanjin's high-profile display of affection makes others jealous.

Almost all the students in the school saw the projection.

Everyone knows that the Century Building is a property owned by Xiao Xuanjin's family. This action of his can be said to be a direct and high-profile way of telling everyone how important Su Mi is to him.

This heroic and romantic way is just to make the beauty smile, which can be said to be well-intentioned.

The school forum exploded at this time.

[Oh my god, Mr. Xiao is really good. ]

[What kind of a godly boyfriend is this? Jealousy makes me look awful. ]

[By the way, at that time at the dating party, the two of them were very high-profile, and the little couple was extremely sweet. ]

[Yes, I saw Gong Yoon-ah was defeated. ]

[If I were Su Mi, I would probably be too excited to sleep tonight. ]

【Who says it’s not true? We can only envy them. 】

Also seen in the school was Liao Qian.

She was with Wu Cheng at that time.

The two were walking in the school when they heard Wu Cheng say, "Fuck, Brother Xiao's move is too generous."

Liao Qian looked up and understood what was going on. Her eyes were filled with sincere blessings. "Mi'er deserves to be treated this way."

Wu Cheng looked back at her and always felt that she was different today than before.

I don’t know if it’s because of her dressing style or because her hair has grown longer, but she looks a little more feminine.

The earrings on her ears sparkled, adding a touch of agility and prettiness to her.

Noticing his gaze, Liao Qian looked a little unnatural, "How are you... and the school beauty doing now?"

At this point, Wu Cheng looked away and sighed, "I don't know either. Sometimes I feel that she treats me differently, and sometimes I feel that I am overthinking. Girls' minds are really too hard to guess."

"Brother Qian, tell me, will I be unable to catch up with her even after graduation?"

Liao Qian smiled stiffly after hearing this, and only felt her throat was very dry, but she still didn't want to show it too obviously, so she sniffed and asked, "So are you going to wait for her forever?"

"Until graduation at the latest. If that doesn't work out, I'm going to let myself go."

At this point, Liao Qian felt from his tone that he seemed to have slowly let go and did not intend to hang on that tree forever.

She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard him say, "So, before I graduate, I must try to catch up with her."

"Brother Qian, if this works, I'll treat you to a feast."

As he spoke, he raised the opened basketball in his hand and said, "I love this gift so much, Brother Qian, thank you so much. From today on, you are my best buddy."

Liao Qian forced a smile, her voice filled with bitterness, "You're welcome."

Suddenly, Su Mi's words came to my mind, "Some attention needs to be fought for by oneself."

She shouldn't have to stand in a dark, inconspicuous corner, waiting to be illuminated.

"Wu Cheng!" Liao Qian suddenly shouted.

"Hmm?" Wu Cheng turned around and looked at her.

"I... have you... have other girls confessed to you?"

Wu Cheng thought she was just asking out of curiosity and didn't notice the unnaturalness in her words. "Yes, although not as much as Brother Xiao, but still some. I am a great talent in their eyes."

Wu Cheng always wore glasses and looked quite abstinent from academic pursuits. Liao Qian had learned privately that Wu Cheng had received many scholarships and was an excellent student in the eyes of his tutors and professors.

However, I heard that his family situation was rather difficult, which is why he has always been frugal and low-key.

"So you... rejected them all?"

"If it weren't for Qian Qian, I wouldn't be single now."

Liao Qian was about to say something when Wu Cheng continued, "Brother Qian, it's nice to know you. There are some things I couldn't tell them, but now I can finally tell you."

"What?"

"Actually...it's okay if she rejects me. After all, as a poor student now, how can I give her a good life? But things will be different when I'm a senior. I can do internships and earn money by myself. Then, I can earn money for her."
