Chapter 102 Let's dazzle them!
Perhaps brainwashed by Song Xu's words, Lin Xi's heart was moved. Her most valuable asset was probably her brain.
Her good grades are due to hard work, but more importantly, they are due to her talent—the talent for learning.
“But I’m really poor, and I have a grandmother who’s in a coma,” Lin Xi said softly. “I can’t help you at all; I might just be a burden to you.”
“It’s okay, I have money,” Song Xu kissed Lin Xi’s forehead. “From now on, all my money is yours. You can spend it however you want.”
Song Xu wasn't worried at all that Lin Xi would squander money; she only knew how to make money grow, which was one of the reasons he liked her.
“I don’t want your money, I can earn it myself,” Lin Xi struggled out of Song Xu’s arms, “I will pay back the money I owe you.”
"Okay, whatever you say." Song Xu smiled at Lin Xi.
He hugged and kissed me today, that's enough. I can't rush things, or he'll run away.
Lin Xi took a step back, twisted her hands together, and muttered softly, "Who is that girl?"
Her voice was very soft, but Song Xu still heard it clearly. Yes, he said he came to explain, but he ended up kissing and hugging her, and he still hadn't said the most important thing.
“She is Lu Yunqi, the younger sister of Brother Yunzhou,” Song Xu carefully explained his relationship with Lu Yunqi. “Our family and the Lu family are old friends. Xiaoqi and I are about the same age, and she should be about the same age as you. We have known each other since we were little.”
“So you’re childhood sweethearts,” Lin Xi said casually. “No wonder you were so intimate.”
Song Xu sensed the strong jealousy in her voice and was secretly delighted. He knew Lin Xi liked him. "No, she just touched me like that. I don't know which idiot took a picture of it. It was definitely intentional, deliberately trying to spread rumors about me."
Lin Xi didn't say anything more. After all, they were childhood friends, and she had no right to interfere.
"By the way, Brother Yunzhou is treating everyone to a get-together tonight to welcome Xiaoqi back. You'll come with me." Song Xu was preparing to formally introduce Lin Xi into his circle.
"Do I really have to go?" Lin Xi hesitated. She hadn't agreed to confirm their relationship with Song Xu yet, but they still had a contract in place.
“Brother Yunzhou specifically mentioned you,” Song Xu knew what Lin Xi was worried about. “My brother will also be going, along with Shen Yan and Xiao Heng.”
Song Xu listed all the people Lin Xi knew, telling her to try to relax.
"Alright then," Lin Xi looked at her clothes, "Should I change my clothes?"
"Whatever you like, you look good in anything," Song Xu replied with a smile.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and decided to change her clothes. It wasn't that she was vain, but she had to give Song Xu some face.
After all this commotion, Lin Xi's depressed mood eased a bit.
She seemed to be overthinking things last night, but Song Xu's words woke her up, reminding her that she wasn't entirely useless.
“Let’s go,” Lin Xi picked up her phone and glanced at the time. There was still time for her morning and afternoon classes. “I need to go back to school.”
"Don't bother going, it won't make a difference if you take half a day. The first-year classes are very easy," Song Xu said, taking Lin Xi's hand. "Let's have lunch together, and then go to the hospital to see our grandma this afternoon."
Lin Xi glanced at him. "That's my grandma."
“We don’t distinguish between you and me; what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours,” Song Xu replied with a smile.
...
After visiting Grandma Lin at the hospital, Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat, feeling drowsy. Having not slept all night, she couldn't stay awake any longer and drifted off to sleep to the soft music playing in the car.
Song Xu called Lin Xi twice but received no response. He turned his head and saw Lin Xi asleep with her head drooping.
He pulled over to the side of the road and adjusted Lin Xi's seat to make her more comfortable.
Song Xu touched Lin Xi's face, "Xi Xi, when will you finally accept me completely?"
Lin Xi's attitude today has only softened somewhat, it's still not very clear, she's probably still struggling with something.
Never mind, they're officially claiming to be boyfriend and girlfriend now, at least that won't give anyone else a chance.
Song Xu drove the car to the apartment building and gently carried Lin Xi out of the car. Lin Xi whimpered, and Song Xu thought she had woken up, but Lin Xi found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to sleep.
She was really tired. Song Xu shook her head helplessly. She must not have slept much last night; her eyes were all red.
As he entered the lobby, the butler recognized Song Xu and tactfully pressed the elevator button for him.
After unlocking the door with his fingerprint, Song Xu carried Lin Xi inside and saw Song Chen sitting on the sofa smoking.
Hearing the voice, Song Chen looked up, saw the two of them, and frowned. "You got Lin Xi drunk?"
“No,” Song Xu said, somewhat speechless. Was he that kind of person? He only let Lin Xi drink at night. “She just fell asleep.”
Song Xu closed the door with his foot, carried Lin Xi to her room, and after settling her in, he walked to the living room, sat on the sofa, and took a breath. "Brother, why are you back so early today?"
"I went to school this morning. It's close by, so I thought I'd come back and take a nap," Song Chen said, putting out his cigarette. "Oh, by the way, Yunzhou called me and said Xiaoqi is back and we're having a get-together tonight. Did he tell you?"
“I ran into the two siblings at the school gate this morning,” Song Xu sighed. “They were even photographed. It took me a long time to explain it to Xixi.”
"What photo?" Song Chen asked curiously.
Song Xu showed Song Chen the photo Lin Xi had sent him. "Just this one moment, and I'm really impressed. I even suspect someone is following me."
"Now that you're with Lin Xi, try to reduce your interactions with Xiao Qi as much as possible, so as not to bother Lin Xi," Song Chen advised.
“I already warned Xiaoqi today, telling her to be more careful in the future and keep her distance from both of us,” Song Xu said, glancing at Song Chen before asking, “Any news from the Bai family?”
Song Chen frowned and lit another cigarette. "I've got it. Mom said the Bai family specifically wants to arrange a marriage between us."
"Has the Bai family's daughter seen you before?" Song Xu's face was solemn, but his heart was light. It was good that the marriage alliance had nothing to do with him anymore.
Song Chen shook his head. "No, what's even stranger is that Bai Qi'an arranged the marriage beforehand, but they can't meet in person because his sister is in school, and the school has some special rules that prevent them from meeting freely."
"Is the school special? Is it a military academy?" Song Xu guessed.
"The Bai family's daughter is protected too well by the Bai family. I can't find any information about her, not even her name." Song Chen was worried about his future married life.
Lin Xi woke up and overheard most of Song Chen and Song Xu's conversation. She took out her phone and sent a message to Bai Tiantian: "[There's a party tonight. Your teacher, Song, is attending. It's to welcome the girl in the photo.]"
Bai Tiantian replied instantly: [Where are we having the party?]
Lin Xi really didn't know the location, and she didn't want to ask Song Xu. Suddenly, she thought that Shen Yan and Xiao Heng would definitely know, so she asked Bai Tiantian to ask them.
Bai Tiantian: [Got it. Dress up nicely tonight, let's dazzle them!]
