Xia Che accepted the drink with a calm expression, his lips only touching the other half that Xie Linlin's lips hadn't touched. He took a sip, then smiled and put the cap back on, returning the drink: "It's really good."
All right……
Even if he didn't suffer a loss, Xia Che couldn't get over his conscience.
He himself didn't understand what this connection was; all he had been seeing was a blurry figure with an unclear face in his mind.
Xia Che couldn't see who the other person was, but he knew that this person held a significant place in his heart; he just didn't know who it was right now.
Xia Che's little actions naturally did not escape Xie Linlin's notice, who had been observing him closely. Upon seeing this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, a strange smile hanging on her lips, and then she quietly put the drink into her handbag.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that..."
Xia Che felt uneasy under that gaze and touched his nose awkwardly.
"nothing."
Xie Linlin waved her hand with a smile, then maintained that enigmatic smile: "I just suddenly realized that senior is even cuter than I imagined."
"Hahaha……"
Xia Che was in no mood to listen to what Xie Linlin was saying; his mind was a complete mess. He turned to Xie Linlin and said, "It's so hot here. It's strange, even though the temperature has dropped, it's still so hot... Shall we go to the shopping mall?"
"Um."
Xie Linlin nodded obediently, then naturally took a few steps forward and took Xia Che's arm.
She could clearly feel that the moment she took Xia Che's arm, his body stiffened slightly. Seeing this, Xie Linlin curled her cherry lips slightly and pressed herself closer to Xia Che.
"Do we really need to get this close...?"
Xia Che looked puzzled. This intimate gesture was only used by a few girls he was close to, such as Chu Yuying. But he had a good relationship with those girls and had known them for a long time. Xie Linlin was not one of them.
Xia Che felt uncomfortable all over, but fortunately, Xie Linlin was not the first girl to do this. The feeling of discomfort only lasted for a moment, and he got used to it soon.
"Senior, do you often get asked out by girls?"
Xie Linlin was unaware of Xia Che's inner thoughts, but she had been observing him out of the corner of her eye. When she saw that he only stiffened for a moment at first and then relaxed, she felt a strange sense of jealousy.
According to the information Gemini gave her, Xia Che's gangster identity was just a facade; in reality, his behavior was more like that of a homebody.
He rarely interacts with girls.
That is indeed the case.
When girls see Xia Che, their first reaction is definitely to take out their wallets, trying to get Xia Che to give up any other ideas that might hurt them more. They would never take a closer look and discover Xia Che's handsome face hidden under his side-swept bangs.
But now, Xie Linlin has noticed that Xia Che is becoming less and less like a typical otaku. Xie Linlin has also met with friends from the school's anime club.
The way those people behaved when they were talking to me...
Xie Linlin got goosebumps just thinking about it; she would be so eager to lick him, unlike Xia Che who was so calm.
At least in terms of how he treats the opposite sex, Xie Linlin couldn't sense even the slightest bit of the typical otaku traits in Xia Che.
"How could that be? Strictly speaking, you're the first girl I've ever dated."
Xia Che smiled.
That wasn't a lie. There were indeed girls who went out with him before, such as Chu Yuying, Shen Yanxin, and Wen Chenlu, but these girls were either the heroines of comics or as close as older sisters.
Strictly speaking, Chu Yuying's birthday celebration was just a pretext, not a proper date.
Xie Linlin is the only one who openly uses dating as an excuse and is the same age as someone else.
"Is that so..."
Xie Linlin spoke sweetly, but her eyes held a hint of doubt.
The answer was surprisingly standard.
My nerdy senior is really suspicious.
Having such a strong will to survive clearly means he knows what kind of answer girls most want to hear.
Such high emotional intelligence...
You've never even been on a date?
Xie Linlin's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared intently at Xia Che's back.
suspicious.
That's highly suspicious.
Xia Che, who was walking ahead, suddenly felt a chill down his back. He touched the back of his head and turned around in confusion, but couldn't see anything suspicious.
"Strange, has it gotten colder?"
Xia Che was completely baffled.
Why do I always feel a little creepy behind me...?
Xia Che's sixth sense is still very sharp, but no matter how sharp his perception is, there are some girlish thoughts that are beyond his understanding, which he can't figure out no matter how hard he tries.
The strategy guides he learned online, which he was so proud of, actually had the opposite effect...
Who could have imagined this?
Since they didn't have a specific meeting place, the two decided to stroll around and explore as they pleased. They were out having fun, so they weren't in a rush.
They soon arrived at the shopping mall. Although it was during the college league season, a glance at the many young faces of the people coming and going made it clear that quite a few had chosen to skip class, taking advantage of this rare opportunity of lax supervision…
Ouch!
Suddenly, Xie Linlin grabbed Xia Che's arm, exclaimed in surprise, and stood still, as if she had remembered something very important that she hadn't done yet.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Che followed Xie Linlin's gaze and noticed that his junior was staring intently at a milk tea sign not far away. He immediately understood.
"Tea Moonlight... I remember this brand has always been quite popular in Jiang City, and it seems to be very popular with girls?"
Xia Che stroked his chin. If he remembered correctly, Chu Yuying had been clamoring for this drink, but she always had to wait in a long line, which she found very annoying.
There's no way around it, the brand has become popular, and the most direct manifestation of that is...
There are many people.
Regardless of the taste, once it becomes famous and a trendy spot for women to take photos, there will always be long queues no matter when you come.
"Yeah, I've wanted to try it for a long time, but I've never had anyone to go with, so I've never tasted what it tastes like."
At this moment, Xia Che could even see Xie Linlin's tail wagging excitedly behind her.
Isn't this just a cat that saw something it wanted...?
Xia Che couldn't help but chuckle.
"Senior... is it alright?"
Xie Linlin looked at Xia Che, blinked her big eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered.
"Shouldn't this require a lottery? There are so many people... Can I wait for you here?"
Xia Che naturally wouldn't spoil anyone's fun.
