Chapter 362 Kiss
Huo Xilin's expectant eyes became dim because of Xu Qingsui's rejection.
"I'd better take you there. I'll come back to rest after I take you there." He continued, "I can't sleep because I keep thinking about this matter. I feel sad when you ignore me."
Huo Xilin is a strong man. He rarely shows his palpitations, and even less shows his vulnerability.
But in front of Xu Qingsui, he seemed to know how to show weakness more and more, because he just wanted to see her looking distressed.
In front of her, he doesn't care about his own face as long as he can win her heart.
Falling in love with someone will make you feel inferior and cowardly, and no one is an exception.
Xu Qingsui wanted to refuse, but when she looked into Huo Xilin's eyes filled with pleading and expectation, the words of refusal got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them no matter what.
Seeing Xu Qingsui's silence, Huo Xilin thought she agreed, and became visibly happy on the spot. He quickly took the bag from her hand and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, the person had already walked out the door. Xu Qingsui looked at the back that disappeared outside the door. He had no choice but to change his shoes and chase after him.
When she walked to the parking lot, she saw from afar that Huo Xilin had already opened the passenger door. Like a bodyguard, he was waiting quietly at the door, watching her walk towards him.
The distance between two people will become closer and closer if one person gets closer, and will get closer faster if both of them run towards each other, but will never get close if one person steps back.
At this moment, Xu Qingsui suddenly thought of what Huo Xilin had once said to her.
The distance between them had already grown farther and farther without her noticing. She knew in her heart that she was the one stepping back, but she had no choice but to go this route.
Unknowingly, Xu Qingsui had walked in front of Huo Xilin, and then sat in the co-pilot seat under his gaze.
He would still fasten her seat belt proactively as usual, and his sudden approach would make her heart beat faster for no apparent reason. Even though they had been together for a long time and everything that should have happened had already happened, every time he approached her, she would still blush and her heart would beat faster unconsciously, and she would feel a little unnatural.
"I'll do it myself." Xu Qingsui quickly snatched the seat belt from Huo Xilin's hand, but accidentally touched his hand.
At that moment, she felt as if she had been electrocuted, and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but unfortunately, Huo Xilin did not give her this chance.
The moment she pulled her hand back, his palm had already firmly grasped her hand, and he helped her to fasten the seat belt.
Looking at Xu Qingsui's unnaturally flickering eyes, Huo Xilin's mood suddenly became very good. The way she blushed was exactly the same as in his memory. Even so, she still dared to say that she had no feelings for him?
Words spoken from the mouth can be deceiving, but the body's reactions are particularly honest. Her body's reactions cannot lie.
A low laugh sounded in her ears, and Xu Qingsui looked up suddenly. Before she could glare at the man in front of her, he had already kissed her lips.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, before she could react, he had already closed the passenger door and sped away, leaving her standing there in a daze, at a loss.
Soon, he opened the driver's door, sat in, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator and drove the car onto the road. His expression was so natural, as if nothing had happened just now.
He always took advantage of her when she wasn't paying attention, making her defenseless. Afterwards, he pretended nothing had happened so that she was too embarrassed to cause trouble for him.
Helplessly, Xu Qingsui could only swallow this loss in secret and secretly decided that he would never be soft-hearted next time.
After sending Xu Qingsui to the entrance of the museum, Huo Xilin asked her when she got off the car: "When do you get off work this afternoon?"
"Not sure. It depends on how the work is done. You know, in my job, apart from the working hours, the off-get off work hours are never certain."
This is why she always works overtime until late.
"Okay then, I'll go back and rest for a while and come pick you up later." Huo Xilin said.
Xu Qingsui immediately refused: "No, I'll take a taxi back at night, you don't have to pick me up."
After saying this, Xu Qingsui got out of the car in a hurry without giving Huo Xilin a chance to reply. She was afraid that if she got out of the car too slowly, Huo Xilin would seize the opportunity and give her a lot of persuasion. Coupled with his pitiful look, there was no doubt that she would soften her heart.
Watching Xu Qingsui enter the museum gate, Huo Xilin sat in the car for a while. When he was about to drive away, suddenly a figure reflected in the rearview mirror caught his attention.
On the corner across the street, a man in a hat was staring at his car.
Although he was wearing a hat and a mask and seemed well-armed, Huo Xilin still recognized him at a glance.
He had the ability to remember everything he saw. As long as someone had appeared in front of him, no matter how much time had passed, even if that person had undergone the baptism of time and had undergone certain changes in appearance, Huo Xilin could still recognize him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, watched the man's every move in the rearview mirror, and then drove away calmly.
When the car merged into the traffic, he took out his cell phone and called his assistant: "Go check on someone right away..."
When Xu Qingsui arrived at the museum studio, Tang Cheng was concentrating on processing the aging process of the samples. Seeing Xu Qingsui coming in, he stood up in surprise: "Senior Sister Xu, you are finally back. I have many problems waiting for you to come back and help me solve them."
Xu Qingsui handed the things he brought back to Tang Cheng, looked at his finished work, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you have made a lot of progress during my absence. Your sample is much better than the previous one."
Tang Cheng felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and said modestly: "Although I have made progress, I am still one or two points behind you, Senior Sister. It would be great if one day I could be as comfortable as you."
In the craft of restoring antique calligraphy and paintings, besides diligence and eagerness to learn, the most important thing is talent. Unfortunately, Tang Cheng lacks just that talent.
Hard work can make up for 99% of the shortcomings, but that 1% is crucial and cannot be made up by hard work alone. So no matter how hard Tang Cheng tries, he can never become a master of Taishan level.
Xu Qingsui really didn't dare to tell the truth to dampen his enthusiasm, so he could only encourage him against his will: "One day, you will definitely be able to do it!"
Tang Cheng has been in this business for a long time and he knows exactly what his own strengths are. How could he not hear that Xu Qingsui was comforting him?
