Chapter 99 "It seems she really likes me."
Her expression was strange. If he didn't like it, why didn't he say so when she asked him earlier?
And, surprisingly, they were all already peeled.
I don't understand.
However, she still liked it very much, so it was a good deal for her.
Si Yue glanced at his expression and, seeing that he didn't seem angry, breathed a slight sigh of relief and put on a smile.
"Alright."
Xie Lin rested his chin on his hand, lazily watching her eat, a faint smile playing on his lips.
If you look closely, you can see that his expression is actually very gentle, with a hint of doting in his eyes.
Someone was busy cooking and didn't notice.
After thinking it over and over, Xie Lin could only come up with one reason why Si Yue was pursuing him.
That's because of his aunt.
Thinking about this, he didn't actually feel angry.
On the contrary, he was quite relieved.
He was just wondering how to naturally get along with her in a different kind of relationship, and this just happened to be exactly what he was looking for.
I'll have to call his aunt later to thank her properly.
As Si Yue ate, she pondered the meaning of his earlier words.
Forget it, I can't figure it out.
Let's just ask directly.
She swallowed the shrimp meat and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "So, what do you think? Tell me."
Xie Lin looked at her with interest and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"When you were pursuing Song Wei, did you also ask for his opinion like this?"
Si Yue: "?"
She blinked, looking completely bewildered.
Wait, how did this involve that scumbag?
She glanced at the person opposite her, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Was she mistaken?
I felt there was something odd about the tone of his voice when he said that.
Si Yue frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, who's pursuing him?"
"To be honest, from childhood to adulthood, you are the first person I've ever said I would pursue."
"Song Wei, does that scumbag deserve it?"
Xie Lin hummed in agreement and nodded: "I see."
Having heard the answer he wanted, the person is now incredibly happy.
He curled his lips into a smile. "Alright, let's see how you perform."
Si Yue immediately raised her eyebrows, her smile bright and her tone light.
"Then you just wait and see."
Xie Lin stared at her leisurely, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"So happy?"
"It seems you really like me."
Upon hearing this, Si Yue's smile faded slightly, and her brows furrowed.
Yeah, why is she so happy?
It's not like they're serious.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of that exquisite and handsome face, and her gaze faltered.
But then again...
Xie Lin has a really handsome face.
It seems like... it's not a loss?
—
It was already 2 a.m. when I got back to my room.
Xie Lin, however, was not sleepy at all.
Someone who usually loves to sleep is staying up all night, which is quite unusual for me.
He leaned against the headboard, idly scrolling through his WeChat Moments, wondering who was still online so he could bother them.
My gaze paused when it fell on a certain profile picture.
The following content made him chuckle.
[I'm a top scorer in the national college entrance examination, an outstanding graduate of Peking University, and a corporate boss, yet I can't even help a first-grader with their homework. Is that reasonable? (Smiling face emoji)]
Xie Lin raised an eyebrow. Still not asleep so late?
He pondered for a moment, then clicked into the chat window.
Uncle, are you there?
The other party replied instantly.
My uncle isn't here.
But if you treat me to KFC, I can conjure up my dad.
Xie Lin: "..."
Niannian, be good and give the phone back to your dad.
As he was thinking about how to reply, his phone vibrated; the other end of the line was calling him directly.
He assumed the little brat had accidentally pressed it, since such things had happened before.
While reading this child, I noticed that he was very pretty and looked quite well-behaved.
He's actually a troublemaker.
Moreover, there are always endless questions to ask.
Every time I visit the Lord's house these past few years, I am subjected to spiritual questioning.
He was terrified.
He pressed the call button, but the first thing he heard wasn't the sweet, childlike voice he had imagined.
Instead, there was a chaotic noise, which gradually became clearer after a few seconds.
"Bian Nian, has Daddy ever told you not to use Daddy's phone to send messages without permission?"
"Go back to your room and sleep, don't disturb your mom."
"Aren't you going to the amusement park with your favorite brother, Shen Zhuo, tomorrow?"
"Good boy/girl, you have to be good, right? Look, your older brother and sister don't stay up all night like you, do they?"
A man's helpless and resigned voice drifted from the microphone, slightly hoarse, still carrying the same nonchalant tone he had in his youth.
Xie Lin paused for a moment, but did not say anything to disturb him.
Immediately afterwards, a soft, sweet voice rang out, innocent and naive.
"Dad, you're so long-winded."
"..."
"Hey, Dad's screen is lit up."
"Um?"
While educating her child, Bian Xu looked down and realized that the phone call had been connected for several minutes without her noticing.
The woman leaning against the headboard still looked beautiful, but she exuded a more mature charm, making her even more stunning than before.
She stretched out her hands to the little dumpling, her voice gentle and smiling: "Okay, Daddy has something to take care of, we can't disturb him."
"Mommy will take you back to your room to sleep. If you can't get up tomorrow, we won't take you."
Bian Nian was much more obedient in front of her mother, throwing herself into her arms with obvious dependence.
"Then Mom will coax Niannian to sleep."
Lin Tingxia picked up the child and walked towards the door, looking at Bian Xu: "You go ahead and do your work."
Bian Xu nodded, and after she left, he pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice sounding somewhat tired.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Lin, Niannian is a bit naughty, please don't mind her."
Xie Lin smiled and said, "It's alright, Uncle. Niannian is very cute."
Bian Xu's smile softened slightly, and he casually asked, "Is there something you need so late?"
Xie Lin hummed in agreement, somewhat hesitant.
To be honest, he was actually a little embarrassed to bring up the matter of asking Bian Xu for tickets.
After all, they were just distant relatives.
However, Bian Xu didn't mind too much; they were all family, and he would help if he could.
"He's stammering, that's not like you."
"What? You've met a girl you like and come to me for advice?"
After all, he had a knack for pursuing people back in the day.
The teasing tone made Xie Lin relax a bit, and following up on his words, he brought up his purpose.
Bian Xu was somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I was just saying it casually, I didn't expect it to actually be true."
“It’s nothing serious. I’ll tell my wife and send it to you later.”
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Don't mention it, we're all family."
Xie Lin smiled, recalling the conversation he had just overheard, and asked curiously, "Aren't you and your aunt busy with work?"
"Yes, the kids have been clamoring to come to Disneyland. Xingjian and I just arrived in Shanghai today."
Xie Lin was somewhat surprised: "You guys came too?"
Hearing his tone, Bian Xu understood.
When are you leaving?
Xie Lin glanced at the date. "We're returning to school on the 8th, and we need to go back the day after tomorrow."
Bian Xu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's find some time to have a meal tomorrow, and I'll give you the tickets then."
How many do you want?
"Four, I guess."
"Okay, that's all for now, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
