Chapter 176 Butterfly
This kiss, which seemed to have no end, ended with Su Xia's stomach growling.
There is a knife hanging over your head when it comes to lust.
In his previous life, Xu Jiqing's intimate experience, which was so bad that it couldn't even be rated one star, had long been forgotten. He was forced to confess that he hadn't eaten dinner or even two bites of lunch, causing the other party to immediately stop and order room service.
Su Xia felt a little relieved, but more disappointed.
She thought she would soon...
Opportunities indeed come to those who are prepared.
While waiting for the food to be delivered, she went to the large bathroom in the master bedroom to take a shower.
A significant benefit of maxing out your hotel budget is that it doesn't matter if you forget to bring anything, from luxury skincare products to pajamas, everything is already prepared.
Su Xia was extremely upset because she had taken off her makeup casually. She applied a facial mask and had a meridian massage, tied her hair up, changed into pajamas, looked left and right in front of the mirror, put on some tinted lip balm to make sure she could meet people without makeup, and then walked out.
The living room was very quiet with the floor lamp on.
Outside the window is the Charles River at night, with dim lights and the river flowing like silk.
Xu Jiqing was sitting on the sofa, his laptop shining brightly, seemingly busy with work.
He also changed into black pajamas from the same series. His hair was slightly wet and his expression had returned to its usual coldness. When he saw her come out, his silent gaze stayed on her face for a few seconds.
Su Xia felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, but she still moved closer to him, "Is it true that girls change a lot when they grow up? They look good even without makeup?"
The girl's hair had just been washed and had a rich, moist fragrance.
Xu Jiqing closed the computer on his lap but didn't move it away. "It turns out it looks good too."
He is serious.
Su Xia said "oh" softly, unconsciously acting like a spoiled child to him, "Then you must have always wanted to kiss me in the past."
Xu Jiqing didn't deny it. Instead, he moved the knife and fork that was originally placed opposite her and urged her to eat, "Don't eat it now, or it will get cold."
A plate of lobster, a plate of creamy pasta, and a small bowl of lean meat porridge that looked quite Chinese.
In addition to the porridge, there are also a lot of bright red chili rings.
Xu Jiqing said, "It should be different from the chili in Sichuan cuisine. Just make do with it for now. If it doesn't taste good, just drink the porridge."
Su Xia suddenly remembered that during her senior year of high school, Xu Jiqing went home on weekends for competition training. With just one day off, he actually brought the fried noodles that she had mentioned "with lots of chili peppers" back to school to see her.
She felt a little sad and rolled up some pasta with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth. "It's delicious."
"It's just a little bit worse than what you did."
Xu Jiqing raised his eyes to look at her.
Su Xia asked, "So did you participate in the World Championship that year?"
“I did.”
Having learned countless lessons, she spoke boldly, "First?"
"Um."
Xu Jiqing said, "The medal is at home. I'll give it to you when I get back."
Su Xia's cheeks were puffed up from chewing. When she heard the word "also", she paused and glared at him without really getting angry. "You still owe me a lot."
"Xu Jiqing from Chayuan is so famous. He won so many awards in the past two years, from medals to scholarships."
Xu Jiqing lowered his eyes and said, "I'll give it all to you."
"Money too?"
Xu Jiqing almost always agreed to my request, and then said "hmm", "I haven't spent much."
In front of him, Su Xia was both soft and hard.
Because of these few words, the grievance and irritability that would come up in her from time to time seemed to disappear just like sand smoothed by the tide.
My appetite is much better than before.
Xu Jiqing had just returned from an investor dinner on the West Coast that evening. He only occasionally accompanied her for a bite, and most of the time he was answering Su Xia's questions.
Speaking of my freshman year, I passed the selection exam and came to Massachusetts to study for a double degree.
He also talked about how the entrepreneurial team originally consisted of only Lin Lang and Chen Zhiheng, who were roommates. After arriving here, they happened to meet Liang Zhuoqian, whom they had only met once before.
The other party is studying business at an Ivy League school and has no interest in inheriting the family business or becoming a financial elite in Manhattan, as he finds it boring.
With his good vision, which he claimed was blessed by the Wong Tai Sin Temple, he made a gamble that Xu Jiqing's project would be successful in the future, targeting the veteran with a single-digit employee number who wanted to be the CFO of a future AI industry giant.
Su Xia was a little dumbfounded, "...then he really has been blessed."
"You trust me so much?"
Xu Jiqing smiled.
She looked at him, "I trust you more than anyone else."
Both Chen Zhiheng and Liang Zhuoqian were people she had never remembered.
It is the waves caused by the flapping of the wings of a small butterfly.
She had a strong premonition that Xu Jiqing in this life would go more solidly and further than in his previous life, until he reached a limitless future that even she could not determine.
Xu Jiqing's eyes were deep, staring at her without blinking.
Seeing that he was about to come over and kiss her again, Su Xia quickly reached out and pushed his chin away, her cheeks flushed and she dodged, "There's a lot of sauce on my mouth."
She changed the subject, "How is Jiaojiao now? Has the cochlear implant adapted?"
Xu Jiqing did a great job of keeping the secret back then. Until now, she still doesn't know where their family lives in Jiangcheng. Xu Jiaojiao seemed to have changed her cell phone number later and could not be contacted.
She was the one who first suggested taking the little girl to the water park.
No matter what the reason for the broken appointment, she always kept it in mind and felt that it was an unfulfilled promise.
Xu Jiqing said calmly, "She joined the elementary school swimming team and trains very hard. She's much taller than the last time you saw her."
Su Xia exclaimed "Wow".
"My mom took her to the water park later," Xu Jiqing said. "Xu Jiaojiao called me and said she still wanted you."
Su Xia was stunned.
"It should be possible when I go home on vacation."
She immediately pulled out her phone, opened the memo, typed two lines, and then stopped abruptly. "I just remembered that the water park in Jiangcheng seems to only be open in the summer. How about next summer vacation?"
"Please talk to Jiaojiao for me. I'm sure she'll be able to go this time."
Xu Jiqing nodded lightly.
Su Xia only realized now that it seemed that she had been chattering all the time from the very beginning, and Xu Jiqing had not asked a single question.
She pursed her lips, "Why didn't you ask me?"
Are you not interested in what happened to her in the past few years?
Or is it that because he has not yet resolved some knot in his heart from the past, he feels that it doesn't matter how she lives these years?
She frowned slightly, her almond-shaped eyes shining.
Xu Jiqing was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently touched her face, "Because I know everything."
How come you know everything?
I haven’t even added him on WeChat, and his phone number looks like it’s been shut down. Is he using his third eye?
Su Xia said nothing, looking at him stubbornly.
Xu Jiqing sighed, "I've added you using many accounts."
