Xu Zhengxi had to catch a flight early in the morning, and Xu Zhe was still fast asleep when she woke up.
He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, and then her cherry-red lips.
Just as her soft, warm tongue touched his lips, it suddenly invaded between Xu Zhengxi's lips and teeth.
He paused, about to get up, when slender arms wrapped around his neck, and the kiss grew hotter and deeper...
"We're going to be late." Xu Zhengxi held the cherry in her mouth, suppressing her impulse.
Xu Zhe kept his eyes closed, making soft humming noises.
Xu Zhengxi smiled and said, "How about we reschedule and I stay with you until New Year's Eve before I leave?"
Xu Zhe opened his eyes instantly: "No need, how can official business be rescheduled!"
If Xu Zhengxi stays, what will happen to Qin Yuyang tonight?!
She had planned the entire itinerary: first, have a fancy meal with a sea view at the Petronas Twin Towers; then, take him to visit some of Lingnan's iconic landmarks; and finally, squeeze in with a bunch of people under the clock tower for a countdown. That would complete her duties as host.
"Don't you want to spend New Year's Eve with me?" Xu Zhengxi propped his head up as he looked at her.
Xu Zhe was torn between thinking about it and not thinking about it, but in a moment of inspiration, he came up with a perfect answer:
"Official business is important, but we still have many, many, many years to go together!"
As expected, a woman's words can be deceiving; these words made Xu Zhengxi laugh heartily.
Xu Zhe promised him that they could spend countless years together! To him, this was a promise even more important than "I love you"!
"Wait for me to come back~"
Xu Zhengxi kissed her forehead, took a deep breath, and left their bed and their room as if making a firm decision.
In the front yard of the Xu residence, an official car and Chen Cheng were already waiting.
Xu Zhengxi saw through Chen Cheng's hidden emotions and said to him:
"You don't necessarily have to come with me on this trip to Shanghai."
He thought Chen Cheng was probably unhappy because she couldn't spend New Year's Eve with Si Kangzhu.
"Let me go with you instead." Chen Cheng refused Xu Zhengxi's offer, forcing a smile to hide his sadness even more deeply.
However, Hsu Cheng-hsi could tell that Chen Cheng was still unhappy.
His trip to Shanghai was short, so he left Si Kangzhu behind to protect Xu Zhe. After the last kidnapping incident, he was always worried about her safety.
"Reschedule your flight to the last one tonight, and cancel all your travel plans after 6 PM," Xu Zhengxi instructed after a moment's thought.
"Okay." Chen Cheng immediately changed his flight ticket.
The last flight was at 8 PM, landing in Lingnan at 11 PM. Chen Cheng thought, Xu XX must be rushing back to spend New Year's Eve with Xu Zhe.
Xu Zhe is such a lucky girl, she met a man who understands her feelings and is romantic, unlike him...
Chen Cheng looked dejected; his nominal relationship with Si Kangzhu was far from over, and he didn't know how long it would last...
Not long after Xu Zhengxi left, Liang Shile arrived.
She immediately blamed Xu Zhe for not inviting her to spend New Year's Eve together.
"The club is so busy, how could I dare to contact you?" Xu Zhe thought, "The 'Kailo City' must be having a blast on New Year's Eve."
"You can bring people to my place! You'd rather squeeze into the crowds at the Bell Tower than come here, do you think my place is unclean?!"
As soon as Liang Shile uttered those words, she felt like she had gone mad.
It's all because we have a lunatic living in our house. He comes home drunk every day, and all he keeps repeating is, "She thinks I'm unclean, boohoo..."
Liang Shile sighed, "What a misfortune for my family!"
Xu Zhe chuckled. Taking Qin Yuyang to a nightclub? To let him experience "top-notch service"?! She must be out of her mind!
"By the way, how's your brother?" Xu Zhe asked.
After Liang Shaojie was formally rejected, she never saw him again. Bei Xiaoyu didn't mention it, and Xu Zhe didn't dare to ask either.
"Him?" Liang Shi rolled his eyes. He really knew how to rub salt in the wound.
"That dog's gone mad! He's been drinking himself into a stupor every day! All he does when he comes back is complain that Bei Xiaoyu thinks he's unclean!"
Xu Zhe stared wide-eyed: "Bei Xiaoyu's reasons for rejecting people are really... direct!"
"Hey~ who says otherwise? Giving him a 'good guy' card is fine too!" Liang Shile scolded his brother, but he was still on his side.
Seeing that Liang Shaojie had changed a lot during this period, she was angry but more worried than angry.
Liang Shile sighed, "But even after being rejected like that, that dog still hasn't given up!"
Xu Zhe: "What do you mean?!"
Liang Shile sighed again: "He said he'd put on a big show for New Year's Eve, but when I asked him what kind of big show it was, he wouldn't tell me, as if I really wanted to know!"
Xu Zhe: I don't want to know what you're asking...
However, this big event... there's more gossip to come?! Xu Zhe is delighted.
Su Nan and Bei Xiaoyu fussed around in the dorm for a while, then changed their clothes and got ready to go out. Su Nan went to check the nighttime temperature.
"The temperature will drop to zero!" Su Nan exclaimed. For southerners, zero degrees is already a temperature that makes people shiver.
"Change!" Bei Xiaoyu decided immediately.
The two put on thick coats before going out.
Yang Huanhuan pulled back the bed curtains. Her makeup was already done, and after putting on her shoes, she followed them.
"Hey bro, I'm already out the door, let's meet at the Twin Towers!"
The Lingnan landmark, the Twin Towers, stand by the sea. 202 Three people and a boy are having dinner facing the ocean.
Qin Yuyang looks different from a few months ago. His bangs are longer, his face is more angular, and he has lost weight, shedding the roundness of a high school student and looking more mature.
He and Xu Zhe talked a lot, about chemistry courses, interesting things in the lab, and the style of the great professor. Once the topic started, the two of them talked non-stop.
Xu Zhe gradually relaxed from the initial restraint, and the more they talked, the happier they became, as if they had returned to their high school days.
