Are you alright?
Lin Xiao's voice was low and deep, tinged with a hint of lingering fear and tension.
Damn it.
If she gets hurt right under his nose, wouldn't his three million be gone?
Bai Youyou looked up at him, a complex expression flashing in her clear, watery eyes.
The two clouds were squeezed and twisted by the mountains.
Her ears were blushing.
"It's nothing. Thank you, senior," she said softly.
Lin Xiao immediately released her and took half a step back to the side.
At this moment, the onlookers, the "dust," finally came to their senses and gasped in astonishment, some even letting out a low gasp of amazement.
The two continued walking towards the third canteen.
Lin Xiao wondered if the incident had been spread to the school forum by some busybody.
never mind.
Let him be.
He's already a senior in college and will graduate soon. Who will remember him, this insignificant speck of dust, after that?
After dinner, Lin Xiao escorted Bai Youyou back to her dormitory.
After saying goodbye, Lin Xiao turned to leave.
But they found they couldn't escape.
He looked back.
Bai Youyou's slender, fair fingers pinched the hem of his clothes.
Lin Xiaojian frowned slightly, not understanding what this meant.
"What's wrong, junior?"
As Lin Xiao spoke, he pulled the hem of his clothes back from the fairy junior's fingers.
Bai Youyou pursed her lips tightly, fidgeted with her fingers, and whispered, "Senior, could you... stay with me a little longer?"
ah?
Want to get something for free?
A hint of wariness flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, but he smiled lightly and said, "Sure. But it can't be more than five minutes. I have something to take care of."
The two walked to a secluded corner.
Lin Xiao pondered that the silly junior was acting strangely today. She was asking him what he and Senior Chu had been doing, and she was also acting cute, asking him to spend more time with her.
There must be a reason for this.
And just now, given her reaction speed, she shouldn't have remained completely still.
Is it possible that the little idiot isn't actually stupid, but is doing it on purpose?
"Junior, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Youyou kept stealing glances at Lin Xiao, and this time he caught her red-handed, making her blush.
"I... want my senior to always be good to me."
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
forever?
It's too far.
He simply cannot do it.
"Junior, but I'm graduating next year," Lin Xiao said with a helpless laugh.
Bai Youyou bit her lip, a look of grievance, confusion, and bewilderment flashing across her eyes.
She looked as aggrieved as a kitten forgotten by its owner, her eyes slightly red, as if she would burst into tears at any moment.
He remained silent for a long while.
Lin Xiao could hardly bear to look at his fairy-like junior sister's pitiful appearance, so he smiled and gently coaxed her, "It's still a long time before next year."
"Maybe before that, your brother Fengqi will come back, and you won't need me anymore."
Bai Youyou was taken aback.
Ever since she met Lin Xiao, she has rarely thought about Feng Qi anymore.
Will Fengqi come back?
"Yes, I will."
After a long pause, she managed to utter this sentence.
Lin Xiao smiled, reached out and gently patted the fairy-like junior's head, not taking it seriously.
Back in his dorm, Lin Xiao took a nap.
We set off at 2 PM and took a taxi to Snow Dance Manor.
Aunt Zhao greeted her warmly.
"Mr. Lin, how are you feeling? You don't have a cold, do you?"
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
The two walked inside.
"Mr. Feng Bairan, the head of the Feng family, has just arrived and is having tea with Miss in the living room."
"Mr. Lin, would you like to go in and say hello?"
Lin Xiao paused in his steps.
He was very familiar with the name Feng Bairan.
When he was a child, the way he looked at him always seemed strange.
They seem quite interested in him.
But she always had a stern face and refused to say a word to him, as if he were some kind of filthy, shameful thing.
Children are the most sensitive.
He knows perfectly well who treats him well and who doesn't.
Therefore, Lin Xiao also disliked Feng Bairan and always avoided him.
Three years ago, Lin's parents died suddenly in a car accident, and Lin Xiao was also kicked out of the house.
He never saw Feng Bairan again after that.
He didn't want to see that person again.
"No, Aunt Zhao, I'm going for a walk in the garden."
Lin Xiao took out a neatly folded cashmere blanket from his backpack and handed it to Zhao Ma.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhao."
Aunt Zhao smiled and said gently, "What are you thanking me for? You silly child! Don't be so polite. Go on."
Lin Xiao smiled and took two steps forward, then turned back and asked, "Aunt Zhao, are all the ingredients for the hot pot ready? Do you need my help?"
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "No need. I'll call you when it's time to cook."
Lin Xiao nodded and turned to walk towards the garden.
Aunt Zhao went into the living room and poured tea for Meng Fanxue and Feng Bairan.
Meng Fanxue asked her softly, "Has he arrived?"
Aunt Zhao replied in a low voice, "In the garden."
Feng Bairan glanced at them discreetly, his eyes gleaming.
Feng Bairan is a handsome middle-aged man.
He was dressed in a well-tailored three-piece suit, his hair was impeccably styled, and he wore an expensive watch.
His overall impression is one of maturity, composure, and aloofness.
At this moment, Feng Bairan asked inappropriately, "Who is it? Xiao Fan, do you have guests? Am I... disturbing you?"
"It's okay. You two can chat first. I'm fine. I just stopped by to see you and see how you're doing."
As he spoke, this mature and dignified elder's eyes reddened.
