The girl in the private room witnessed He Xiao and Shen Linyue's 'intimate' interaction, and she couldn't hide the envy and loneliness in her eyes.
That's wonderful; it's the first time she's ever seen He Xiao smile so happily at a girl.
She must have some outstanding qualities, right?
Thinking about the things she hadn't given away in her bag, and looking at her best friend who was already having a blast beside her, she felt a little restless.
As expected, this kind of occasion is not one that someone like her can fit in.
...
While He Xiao and his friends were playing the dare wheel, Shen Linyue was watching music videos and reaching for the touchscreen to select songs.
Never played this before! That's really rare!
Finally, after I'd had my fill and eaten a lot, I needed to go to the bathroom.
Pulling He Xiao, who was playing a game, Shen Linyue, who was bursting to use the restroom, asked, "Can you take me to the restroom?"
This place is too big. When we came in, Gu Yi'an led her around left and right, and we even took an elevator. She was afraid that she would get lost after we went out.
"No, you're dragging me to the toilet? Are you afraid I'll run away?" He Xiao was at a loss for words, but he comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. I'll never go back on my promise to you."
Shen Linyue pinched him to shut his mouth, her expression fierce: "Are you going or not?"
He Xiao: ...
Huh? How dare she?
The first woman to lay a hand on him, haha.
He wanted to say something more, but seeing how much she was holding back, he changed his mind and said, "Go ahead."
It's strange, this isn't the first time he's been led by the nose by this woman today.
He Xiao, of course, had no idea what it meant to be suppressed by his own mother's bloodline. He led her out to find a restroom, and neither of them noticed the girl's almost crying expression in the corner.
They are truly in love!
Waaah, her unspoken first love ended just like that.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Her best friend noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern.
Su Xiao shook her head, her smile more like a grimace: "Sorry, I have to go back now, my curfew is almost up."
After saying that, she picked up her bag, got up, and left, leaving her best friend sitting on the sofa looking completely bewildered.
Huh? When did her house start having a curfew? How come she didn't know?
Su Xiao was distracted the whole way and didn't notice the tall figure standing against the wall.
He was looking down at his phone, his brows furrowing from time to time, and a creepy smile playing on his lips.
Whether it was a cruel twist of fate or not, Su Xiao tripped over the foot as soon as she reached the figure, and her body lurched forward uncontrollably.
Before she could even scream, she was supported and stood up steadily.
She looked up in a daze, her gaze meeting He Xiao's dark and deep eyes.
"Are you alright?" He Xiao caught the person instinctively and didn't even get a good look at what they looked like.
Once she calmed down, he quickly withdrew his hand, politely asked a question, and then, when she looked up, he recognized her face.
Su Xiao was completely stunned, never expecting that the person who caught her was He Xiao.
Her face flushed bright red: "Ah, this... He, thank you so much, classmate He!"
Her voice was very soft, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight tremor.
He Xiao had a stern face, and when he wasn't smiling, he exuded an imposing aura, his eyes were extremely oppressive, and Su Xiao's excited heart suddenly turned cold.
The scene was awkward for a moment, and this was what Shen Linyue saw when she came out.
The girl was about the same height as her, with her head slightly lowered and her ears red so that her face was obscured. In just one glance, alarm bells rang in her heart.
This scene looks so familiar! Could it be the plot where the female lead is about to deliver a love letter to the villain's son?!
In today's plot, the male protagonist was merely the key to triggering Hao Da'er's emotions. It was only after Hao Da'er said those hurtful things to the female protagonist that his path to destruction began!
She would never allow her eldest son to repeat the same mistake under her very nose.
"He Xiao, who is this?" the girl asked, her voice full of confusion.
He Xiao subconsciously looked up and saw Shen Linyue walking towards him, her expression unchanged.
"I don't know him."
His cold words dealt a heavy blow to Su Xiao's heart, causing her raised eyes to instantly turn red before she forced them back down.
She glanced quickly at Chen Linyue, then lowered her head again, and whispered quickly, "Thank you."
After saying that, he jogged away from the corridor.
Shen Linyue's passionate outburst suddenly faltered. She asked, "Huh? That's it?"
Seeing that there was nothing strange in his eldest son's hands, he breathed a sigh of relief and earnestly advised him: "Don't accept things from other people so easily in the future."
He Xiao: ?
ill.
"I'm going back." He put his hands in his pockets, gave Shen Linyue a cold glance, and turned to leave.
Seeing that her eldest son was completely unresponsive, Shen Linyue sighed inwardly, thinking, "He who does not heed the advice of his elders will suffer the consequences."
...
In the end, the party didn't end until 11 p.m.
Tomorrow is Monday and I have to go to school, so I didn't go anywhere else to play and that was the end of it.
As he was leaving, Gu Yi'an smiled and waved to Shen Linyue, "Boss, sis, I'm off now."
He had originally planned to hitch a ride with his boss, but since Shen Linyue was also there, he obediently went to hail a taxi.
After a night of anxiety, Shen Linyue finally relaxed. She waved to Gu Yi'an and then looked at He Xiao, who seemed completely at ease beside her.
"Where do we live? How do we get back?"
He Xiao glanced down at her, still with his hands in his pockets, and said, "Your Chinese is quite good."
The seemingly random sentence left Shen Linyue completely bewildered.
"If I speak English, can you understand me?"
If she remembers correctly, her eldest son was a poor student, and she doesn't want to damage his confidence yet.
