Chapter 36
After completing his internship, He Xi did not choose to continue working at the company.
After placing the resignation letter on Xu Ce's desk, she saw the corners of the man's mouth twitch slightly.
But in the end he signed it readily.
After walking out of the company building, she raised her hand and deleted the recording she had saved previously.
When her leader ignored this incident of randomly fabricating malicious rumors about colleagues, she felt that there was no point in staying any longer.
Just as she stepped to the side of the road, she saw a car that had been parked for a long time beep twice, and the person in the driver's seat quickly got out and opened the door for her.
"Princess, please get in the car."
"Well."
He Xi frowned and glared at Zhao Lin. She was still not used to him saying such things.
The relationship between the two is now very subtle.
He Xi did not deny that she had feelings for him, but she couldn't forgive her so easily.
"I don't know why you insist on believing I'll always hate you. If my past behavior misled you, then today I can officially tell you: Ever since you waited for me every day after study, I've had a crush on you."
"It's not because of Grandma Li, nor is it out of sympathy or anything else."
She still remembered Zhao Lin's petrified expression when she finished speaking.
"I've been thinking about how I would feel if you came to see me."
"Hate it? Not really, but I do feel regret."
"So let's give it a try. Maybe after going through it, we'll feel relieved."
After the heart-to-heart talk by the lake, Zhao Lin held her hand tightly and never let go.
"I know I'm a bastard, but this time I won't let go even if I die."
"Will you always keep an eye on me?"
"Then it depends on your performance. If you don't obey, I will replace you in a minute."
As soon as He Xi got into the car, she saw Zhao Lin holding out a bunch of pink Diana roses from the back seat and stuffing them into her arms, along with a box of internet-famous small cakes that people had to queue up in for a very long time to buy.
"Celebrating the end of my sister's internship and the beginning of a new chapter in her life."
"Thanks."
She lowered her head and leaned in to smell the sweet fragrance of the rose, and finally couldn't help but smile.
"Come to my place?"
Zhao Lin has been living in a house off campus. He had invited her there before, and he was not discouraged after being rejected. He still extended the invitation without changing his expression.
"Okay, but you'll have to work hard today."
He Xi let go, and she would not say that she had been thinking about his craftsmanship for a long time.
The two of them arrived at a supermarket near the school, and as soon as they got out of the car, she pulled the boy inside.
“Do I have to buy it here?”
Looking around, there were people everywhere, and Zhao Lin couldn't help but feel his ears burning.
"Well, you should buy more later. Don't I know you? Your house must be empty and empty."
He Xi casually pulled the cart over and put it in his hand, then staggered towards the vegetable and food area.
I took a bunch of things by myself and when I turned around to look for the cart, I found that no one had followed me.
"Hurry up, what are you standing there for?"
"It's settled, I'll just be helping with the dinner, you'll be the chef."
"oh."
The man who was disappointed lowered his head and pushed the cart behind her. He looked at the ingredients in the cart, scratched his head and smiled bitterly.
"how?"
He Xi noticed the disappointment in his tone, put down what he was holding and turned to look at him.
"I thought...it was nothing."
The person in front of him looked at him with sparkling eyes, and Zhao Lin hesitated and didn't dare to say anything.
If his sister knew that he had such impure thoughts, he would definitely lose points.
He Xi tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his mouth and turned around in time before he failed.
Since the two of them got together, Zhao Lin had been following her around almost every day. He used to be so quiet and unpredictable, but now she seemed to know what he was thinking just by looking at him.
She wanted to keep pretending and see how long this man could endure.
They bought spare ribs, pork belly, some vegetable seasonings, and kitchen utensils.
While queuing to check out, her eyes fell on the boy's face. She watched him nimbly scan the items one by one on the self-service machine, then take out his mobile phone to pay and pack the items in one go.
"Let's go, sister."
"You don't have anything else to buy?"
She took his outstretched hand, tiptoed to Zhao Lin's ear and asked him softly.
The boy's ears, which had disappeared, turned crimson again, and in a moment even his neck began to feel hot.
"Outside, please don't mess with me."
Feeling the softness of his head tilted to the side and about to touch the tip of her nose, He Xi raised her eyes and saw his gaze fixed on her, and her heart felt itchy as if it was being scratched by a kitten.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
She was the first to give in and took a step forward, but as soon as she took a step, she was pulled into the boy's arms by a force.
"Watch your step and don't walk too fast."
The two of them walked all the way back to their residence. As soon as they entered the door, Zhao Lin put the shopping bag at the entrance and quickly hugged the person next to him.
"Just now at the supermarket, did my sister know?"
They knew what he knew. He Xi reached out and pushed him, hoping to get away with it, but the hand around his waist was like a solid wall, not moving at all.
"Cook first, I'm hungry."
The soft and crisp sound reached the boy's ears, but he didn't soften his heart until his lips were sucked hard. Then he realized what kind of hungry wolf he had provoked.
“Hmm… Yeah…”
Before she could feel the softness on her lips, she felt her lips being completely covered by him. She whimpered and slapped her lips. After a brief moment, he pulled away and started pecking her again.
I felt numb as if I had received an electric shock, my head was dizzy, and my body was so sore that I could hardly stand.
He Xi put his arm around Zhao Lin's waist. The moment their bodies touched, their two hearts beat in unison across their chests, the throbbing sound indicating their passion.
The moment they separated, she clearly saw the lust in his eyes.
"Hold on a bit, I'm really hungry."
Zhao Lin took her hand and kissed it gently, his dark eyes fixed on the person in front of him.
"Just stay here and I'll go cook."
"oh."
He Xi responded in a low voice, changed into slippers, and walked around the house, as if he was inspecting his territory.
After walking around, she glanced at the boy who was busy in the kitchen, turned around and went into the bathroom with the clothes she had prepared in her bag.
The moon-white halter dress with a nice drape and a nipped waist shows off her figure perfectly.
There is a hint of lust in the purity that is hard to express.
She walked lightly towards the kitchen, and before she could decide whether to go in, she was confronted by a man holding a pot handle and turning around as soon as she stood still.
"Tsk, you're sincere, aren't you?"
Seeing the boy turn around quickly after just one glance, she blinked innocently and walked towards the living room.
Four dishes and a soup were served as quickly as possible, and both of them were a little absent-minded while eating.
"Sister...it seems like she had a plan for today?"
Zhao Lin's eyes had hardly left her since he sat down at the table, and the deep meaning in his eyes was so hot that she couldn't look him in the eye.
"Why, you don't like it?"
She pretended to be calm, but as soon as she finished speaking, the boy's actions spoke volumes.
Zhao Lin carried her into the bedroom, and the moment they lay on the bed, her heart suddenly became soft.
She reached out and touched the tip of the nose of the person in front of her, then slid her hand down his straight nose and landed on the corner of his lips.
"I found that sketchbook."
Her fingers lingered at the corner of his lips for a moment and then moved up to his eyebrows. As she spoke, she reached out and touched his thick, long, black eyelashes. As he blinked, they brushed across her fingers, and a light itch spread from her fingertips to her heart.
"The dates on several of them are clearly wrong."
Zhao Lin held her restless fingers, turned over and lay aside, and spoke after a moment.
"Before I returned to Lancheng to study, I secretly came back alone during a few holidays and stayed for a few hours before leaving."
"One time I ran into you after school. When our eyes met, my breathing became tense. I was trying to figure out how to greet you, but you just casually turned your eyes away. You didn't recognize me at all from the beginning to the end, including when we met later."
"Uh...I didn't mean it."
Listening to the man's aggrieved sobs, He Xi held his forehead speechlessly. He had clearly come here to question the man, so why did he end up trying to appease him?
"Well, after all, I was the one who coveted my sister first."
Zhao Lin put his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him, close enough that they could feel each other's breath.
"Besides, my sister has already given me a name, right?"
He didn't know when he had prepared the ring. He reached out and took her right hand, then slowly put the ring on her ring finger.
"Once you put it on, it lasts a lifetime."
"Um."
