"Do you know the Su family? Actually, Su Xiao is the Su family's biological daughter who was found a few years ago, but now she has been kicked out by her relatives and is living at school. Don't you think she's pitiful?" Gu Yi'an finished explaining Su Xiao's background and then looked at He Xiao's reaction.
But he remained completely unmoved, his expression flat. "Boss, don't you have anything you want to ask?"
He Xiao glanced at him and nodded: "Yes."
Gu Yi'an's eyes lit up: "What?"
He Xiao: "You have a crush on Su Xiao? And you know so much about her?"
"..." Gu Yi'an almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Boss, why is your focus so unusual? Everyone in the industry knows about this. I'm just stating the facts! You understand the facts, right?" Gu Yi'an said, embarrassed and annoyed.
"Really?" He Xiao's dark eyes fell on his excited face.
Gu Yi'an's annoyance vanished instantly, and he gave a dry laugh: "Hehe, boss, eat first, or it'll get cold. Just remember that Su Xiao poses absolutely no threat to Sister Yue."
He shouldn't have expected to gain the boss's approval. Sure enough, the boss is still the same straight-laced boss, and he won't change.
"Hmm." He Xiao ignored Gu Yi'an, holding his tray in one hand as he swept his gaze across the crowd in the cafeteria, finally landing on a familiar dark head before walking straight past it.
He was able to spot Shen Linyue in the crowd at a glance, entirely because he had personally bought the hair tie she was wearing. Heh.
At this moment, Shen Linyue was still sharing a TV series she had recently watched with Su Xiao. The next second, Su Xiao, who had been smiling, suddenly became nervous and restless.
"What's wrong?" she asked curiously. "Is there a thorn under your butt?"
That's how girls talk in private.
Before she could finish speaking, Su Xiao's face flushed red, and she pointed behind her, "Your younger brother is here."
Shen Linyue was slightly startled and subconsciously looked up to meet He Xiao's indifferent face. She: ...
What kind of expression is that? It looks like she's wronged him.
"I ate quite well, hehe." He Xiao said sarcastically.
His gaze swept over the girl opposite him, his brow furrowing slightly. She looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen her before. He decided against sitting down at the table next to Shen Linyue.
Shen Linyue wanted to retort, but when she turned around, she saw Gu Yi'an holding a plate and smiling apologetically.
"Sister Yue, what a coincidence, you're eating in the cafeteria too." He glanced at Su Xiao as well.
I don't know why I felt a little guilty, so I quickly nodded and greeted them before sitting down in He Xiao's seat.
Feeling annoyed, he was definitely affected by what his boss had said. Su Xiao wasn't his type; he only felt sorry for her!
Shen Linyue was speechless, feeling that one or two of them today were not quite normal. There was only one canteen in Taipei City, so where else could she go if she didn't come here?
However, she didn't mind and nodded with a smile: "What a coincidence, you're here too."
As she spoke, she glanced at He Xiao and smiled without any emotion. He Xiao, on the other hand, did not look at her and focused on eating the food on his plate.
...
After the little incident at noon, Su Xiao invited Shen Linyue to rest in her dormitory.
After hesitating for two seconds, Shen Linyue abandoned He Xiao once again.
For no other reason than that she had never lived in a dormitory before and had never seen what the inside of the dormitory looked like, so she followed Su Xiao out of curiosity.
Su Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief upon entering the dormitory building, which made Shen Linyue chuckle at her relieved expression.
"Don't you like He Xiao? Why are you so nervous just because you're sitting close to him for a meal?"
She had noticed Su Xiao's discomfort in front of He Xiao long ago. She was quite casual when eating with her, but ever since He Xiao came, Su Xiao had started eating in small bites, which made her hesitate to speak.
Su Xiao blushed again and muttered softly, "You've definitely never liked anyone else, right? You don't understand how I feel."
You can't always be yourself in front of someone you like.
Shen Linyue blinked, thought for a moment, and nodded honestly: "Indeed, let's hurry up and go see your dormitory."
She has never been in love with anyone, but that doesn't stop her from having a son who is about the same age as her, hehe.
Seeing her impatient look, Su Xiao was amused again, "Okay, no rush."
The dormitory environment in Taipei is quite good, after all, it has received investment from so many big names.
Not only is the school's exterior beautiful and magnificent, but even the dormitories are spacious and bright.
The room has only four beds, with tables and cabinets underneath. There's also a small balcony outside where you can see the scenery outside the playground.
Shen Linyue had never been to the dormitories of other schools before, and her eyes were full of surprise as she looked around the clean and tidy little dormitory.
"Wow, it's so cute and refreshing," she exclaimed, turning around in a circle.
Su Xiao tilted her head and pointed to the bed inside: "Want to go up and try it out?"
Shen Linyue looked over and saw a small bed surrounded by a light blue tent: "Is this your spot? You like blue?"
Su Xiao nodded: "Yes, blue is more like the color of the sky."
"You're right." Shen Linyue didn't think much of it, but hesitated again as she looked at the narrow staircase: "Um...should I wash my feet?"
Even though she doesn't have athlete's foot, isn't it impolite to not wash your feet or change your clothes before getting into someone else's bed for the first time?
Thinking this, she looked down at her school uniform again; she could take off the jacket but not the skirt.
Su Xiao seemed to know her dilemma, "It's okay, I don't mind. I've never had such a nice environment to sleep in before..."
She stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.
Shen Linyue glanced at her strangely, wanting to ask what was wrong, but seeing her pale face, she shut up and didn't ask any further, a smile spreading across her face.
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao, you're so kind."
Soon the two of them were lying together on the narrow little bed. Shen Linyue had never slept in such a small bed before. Especially when the bed curtains were lowered and the environment became dark, she suddenly felt very safe. She was shocked and full of curiosity.
"Wow, can this small bed really support both of our weight? Won't it collapse under my weight?"
Her strange question successfully prompted Su Xiaoxiao to speak up: "No, the bed is stronger than you think."
The two little ones chatted for a long time in bed, and finally Shen Linyue asked Su Xiao curiously, "Why do you like He Xiao?"
It seems that most girls her age like cool guys. Her friends used to be like that; she often heard them talking about how cool and handsome so-and-so was, and how they wanted their QQ numbers. But her sixth sense told her that Su Xiao wasn't someone who judged by appearances.
Su Xiao remained silent for a long time before softly saying, "Actually, it's because He Xiao saved me unintentionally."
Shen Linyue: ? ? ?
He actually rescued the damsel in distress?! What a kind-hearted son! Not bad, not bad at all, he's worthy of being her son.
"It's been several years since that happened, and He Xiao seems to have completely forgotten about casually chasing away that group of people in the alley that day," she said dejectedly.
Shen Linyue remained silent. He Xiao was indeed a heartless guy; he wouldn't hold such a thing in his heart.
Hearing Su Xiao's soft breathing, Shen Linyue hesitated before comforting him, "Why don't you tell me the time and place, and I'll go back and give him a talking-to?"
"Pfft—" Su Xiao was amused by her cuteness.
