Chapter 117 Let's Sleep Together
Lin Xi arrived at the classroom in the afternoon and was surprised to find Bai Tiantian there.
"Sweetie, didn't you say you were going to take the afternoon off?" Lin Xi sat happily next to Bai Tiantian.
"Sigh, it's a long story," Bai Tiantian said after changing her clothes. "I ran into Song Chen on my way home. He insisted that I come to class and wouldn't let me ask for leave."
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow. "You two are dating? Brother Chen is so nosy."
"We're not really dating yet," Bai Tiantian smiled shyly. "We're just in the ambiguous stage right now."
When Bai Tiantian saw the diamond ring on Lin Xi's hand, she exclaimed, "My God, did Song Xu propose to you? He gave you such a big diamond ring, it must be worth at least several million!"
Millions? So expensive? Lin Xi suddenly felt an overwhelming burden.
She wanted to pick it, but was afraid of losing it, so she decided to pick it and keep it at home that night.
...
Lu Yunqi sulked at home all day, getting angrier the more she thought about it. How could a woman like Lin Xi compare to her?
Even if Song Xu takes a liking to her, so what? Song Xu's parents will definitely not agree.
Perhaps the Song family is unaware of Lin Xi's existence. She should do a good deed and inform the Song couple.
However, before going to the Song family, she needed to find out everything about Lin Xi.
Lu Yunqi made a phone call: "I need all the information about Lin Xi, by this afternoon."
After hanging up that call, she called Xu Wantang again. It rang several times before she answered, "Hello?"
"Aunt Song, I'm Yunqi," Lu Yunqi said sweetly.
"Oh, it's Xiaoqi," Xu Wantang said warmly. "Xiaoxu told me you've returned to China. When are you coming to visit?"
“Aunt Song, I was just thinking of visiting you. Would tomorrow be a convenient time?” Lu Yunqi asked.
“Tomorrow,” Xu Wantang pondered for a moment, “tomorrow is fine. Come early and I’ll have someone cook more of your favorite dishes.”
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Aunt Song." After hanging up the phone, Lu Yunqi's smile vanished.
Hmph! Xu Wantang is a two-faced woman. Every time I see her, she acts exceptionally enthusiastic and showers me with compliments.
But when they went to her family to propose marriage, Xu Wantang flatly refused, saying it was not suitable.
I don't know what's wrong with her; besides her poor grades, what else is wrong with her?
In the afternoon, Lu Yunqi obtained all of Lin Xi's files from childhood to adulthood.
He had no parents, only a grandmother, and his family was poor, so he made a living by collecting recyclables.
Lu Yunqi ignored Lin Xi's academic and competition achievements from childhood to adulthood, focusing only on her family background.
No wonder she had to work as a nanny; her family's financial situation must be really bad.
She put the document back in the file, intending to show it to Xu Wantang tomorrow so she could see what kind of person Song Xu had found as his girlfriend.
In addition to her personal file, Lu Yunqi also received information about recent events involving Lin Xi, including posts on Jiang University's campus website and screenshots of those disgusting replies, all of which were dug up.
There's also the video and speech of Li Sheng harassing Lin Xi at the gate of Jiangda University.
It took Lu Yunqi a full hour to read through all of this.
"What a pity," Lu Yunqi sighed regretfully. The Li family of three was dead; otherwise, it would have been so lively.
However, the deaths of Li Sheng and his family of three were suspicious, and might be related to Lin Xi.
Whether it matters or not, if she says yes, then it does.
...
When Lin Xi got home that evening, she took off the diamond ring, put it in the ring box, and put it away. She felt much more relaxed after that.
She left in a hurry in the morning and didn't clean. After dinner, she wanted to clean the floor, but found that the floor scrubber had been moved and was placed in a different position.
Upon closer inspection, the house appeared to have been cleaned; it was spotless, requiring no effort on her part.
Lin Xi's face tightened. Was her job about to be taken away?
She walked to Song Xu's bedroom door and knocked hard.
The door was quickly opened, and Song Xu reached out and pulled Lin Xi inside. "Xi Xi, you can come into my room whenever you want. You don't need to knock anymore."
"Has anyone been here today?" Lin Xi asked, pouting.
Song Xu was stumped by the question, "Who has been here?"
"Have you found someone new?" Lin Xi asked, her voice tinged with grievance.
"What new person?" Song Xu was even more confused. "I only have you. I have no old friends, and I have no new people."
"Then why has someone cleaned the house?" Lin Xi questioned.
So that's what it was. Song Xu sighed, rubbing his forehead. He was terrified, thinking it was some kind of matter of principle. "Yes, it is. My mother sent someone over, and I couldn't stop her."
Mrs. Song? Lin Xi was stunned. "Why would she care about the cleanliness of your house? Is she dissatisfied with my work?"
"Of course not," Song Xu didn't know how to explain. Her mother didn't want Lin Xi to get tired, so she discussed sending someone to clean the house every day. "My mother's intention is to let you focus on your studies."
Song Xu touched his nose. "She likes kids who do well in school, like my brother and me. We've always been at the top of our class. She's afraid that doing these things will interfere with your studies."
Lin Xi didn't know what to say. Song Xu had said that Madam Song and President Song knew about her relationship with Song Xu, but had not explicitly expressed their opposition.
Would Mrs. Song really like her because she was good at studying?
"Xi Xi, don't overthink it," Song Xu hugged Lin Xi. "Since you're here, let's sleep together."
"Sleep together? What a joke!" Lin Xi pushed Song Xu away. "I'm going back to my room to read. You should go to sleep early if you have nothing else to do."
Song Xu didn't really intend to keep Lin Xi. After Lin Xi left, he returned to his computer and continued his work. He had missed a lot of things these past two days and could only work through the night to finish them.
Luckily, tomorrow is the weekend, so he can sleep in.
On weekend mornings, Lin Xi still gets up on time, makes breakfast, eats breakfast, and studies.
It was past ten o'clock, and Song Xu still hadn't gotten up.
Lin Xi began to worry. Last time, Song Xu hadn't left the house because of a fever. Would he have a fever again today?
Thinking of this, Lin Xi walked to Song Xu's room door and went in without knocking.
She walked to the bedside and saw that Song Xu was still sleeping. She reached out and touched his forehead; it wasn't hot.
It's not a fever, it's just sleeping. Is it a pig? It can sleep so much.
Lin Xi tried to pull her hand back but couldn't. Song Xu gently pulled her onto the bed.
"Xi Xi," Song Xu hugged Lin Xi, "let's sleep together."
Lin Xi remembered, but her body was tightly entangled by Song Xu, and she couldn't move at all. She was furious and said, "Song Xu, let go of me."
"I won't let go," Song Xu said without even opening his eyes, "I sleep soundly while holding you."
Lin Xi's phone suddenly rang. Song Xu opened one eye to look at the screen and saw that the caller ID was: Mrs. Song.
"My mom?" Song Xu's head was still a little dizzy. "Why did she go to you?"
Lin Xi pushed Song Xu away and sat up, answering the phone, "Hello, Mrs. Song."
