The van was still parked in the same spot, but the people inside were no longer waiting inside as before; instead, they were standing outside the van.
She stands tall and graceful, her smile as warm as the moon in one's arms.
Xu Zhe rushed towards him, but Xu Zhengxi had already opened his arms and firmly locked the little girl who was rushing towards him in his embrace.
Why are you back?
Once inside the car, Xu Zhe clung to Xu Zhengxi, refusing to get out no matter what.
"I took half a day off work to come back and see you." Xu Zhengxi gently kissed her lips, his affection boundless.
"Half a day?!" Xu Zhe exclaimed. "You only have half a day?!"
Is the timeframe so tight?!
Before Xu Zhengxi could answer, he eagerly pressed himself against Xu Zhengxi's neck and began to nibble at it.
"Xiao Zhe..." Xu Zhengxi felt ticklish from her teasing. "What are you doing?"
Xu Zhe raised her head, gently nibbled at his lips, and replied as she nibbled, "Hurry up."
Xu Zhengxi couldn't help but laugh at her eager way of eating.
"Xiao Zhe, stop for a moment." He grabbed her flailing hands. "I canceled my work this afternoon and will stay until tomorrow morning."
Xu Zhe stopped: "You should have said so earlier. I thought you were only staying for a few hours before leaving."
"Where did you learn to eat like that, so hastily?"
Xu Zhengxi had already thought of Liang Shaojie's younger sister and Si Xingzhu, whose thought process was abnormal. The combined effect of these two toxic elements was really too bad for his Xiao Zhe!
Xu Zhe lay on top of him, pinching his earlobe with his fingers, and deliberately breathed into his ear: "This is the family tradition."
She was objective and didn't blame others for the problem.
Indeed, that's the family tradition. Xu Zhengxi held the person in his arms and couldn't help but feel itchy all the way home. Today, Master Wu seemed to be driving particularly slowly, which made it take him a long time to get home.
The car stopped, and Xu Zhe, as if he had no legs, continued to cling to him. Xu Zhengxi had no choice but to carry him out of the car.
Butler Zhou was managing the Xu family's old residence, and only Aunt Lin and a few other servants were on the porch. They had seen the young master carrying Miss Zhe so many times that they were no longer surprised.
Aunt Lin was more meticulous than others, thinking that she should quickly instruct the kitchen to start making the nourishing soup.
Xu Zhengxi strode in and walked to the left after entering the house.
Where are you taking me?
Xu Zhe stayed on him and saw that he was going neither into the bedroom nor the living room.
Xu Zhengxi: "Go to the study."
Xu Zhe immediately blushed and buried her face in his chest, both shy and expectant. This guy, isn't the bedroom good enough? Why is he doing this in the study again!
Upon entering the study, Xu Zhengxi continued walking to the innermost room, around the desk, and placed Xu Zhe in a high-backed chair.
Once he was settled, just as he was about to get up, two slender arms, like snakes, wrapped tightly around his neck.
Xu Zhe tilted his head back, his eyes closed, his eyelashes trembling slightly, his nose and cheeks flushed, his nostrils opening and closing, ready to receive a tenderness that wasn't quite gentle.
Xu Zhengxi: "......" Why does this kid's head look so yellow lately?
He pinched her nose: "Xiao Zhe, sit down, I have something to tell you."
Xu Zhe opened his eyes, his mind still hazy, his eyes filled with an intense, unyielding lust.
"Um?"
"Sit still." Xu Zhengxi removed her arm from his neck and took her two small hands in his palm.
"Xiao Zhe, how about I send you to study in Germany?"
"You like chemistry, and the chemistry programs at German universities have top-notch academic and research environments."
"You'll go to a language school for the first half of the year, and once you successfully take the exam in October, you'll be able to enroll."
"Xiao Zhe".
"Xiao Zhe, did you hear what I said clearly?"
Xu Zhe didn't react for a long time, standing there motionless, not even blinking, his mind turning from yellow to white.
“Xiao Zhe, I bought a house near the school and hired a local assistant. Aunt Lin and the chef will also be going with you, so it won’t be too difficult for you to adapt to the new environment.”
"I will make time to visit you, but not frequently. I will definitely go during the Spring Festival, but I can't be sure about other times."
"Xiao Zhe, you can keep in touch with your friends in China online. It would be best to finish your undergraduate degree before returning to China."
Xu Zhengxi kept staring at her face, observing her changes in expression. After all, for Xu Zhe, sending her abroad to study immediately was too sudden.
"Okay." The reply was soft and gentle, without much emotion.
Now it was Xu Zhengxi's turn to be stunned. The farthest place the little girl had ever been was when he took her to Beidu. And she had been by his side for the past few years. He had originally thought he would offer some advice...
Now, she's being asked to leave him, to leave everything familiar, and go to a country where even the language is unfamiliar, and she agreed without even asking any questions?
"Are you willing to go?" Xu Zhengxi placed his hands on her shoulders and earnestly asked her opinion.
"Yes." The voice was still soft and gentle, just like a child who listens to adults.
Xu Zhengxi felt as if the softest part of her heart had been squeezed, causing both soreness and pain.
"If you don't want to, or if there are other countries you'd like to visit..."
“I’m willing.” Xu Zhe interrupted him. “You must have your reasons for asking me to go. I’m willing.”
"Just make sure you come to see me. During the Spring Festival, there will be other times when you can find the time."
Xu Zhengxi felt a soreness in her throat and couldn't help but swallow, her prominent Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
The next second, the protrusion on his neck was sucked by two sweet, cherry-red lips. Enveloped in that warm, moist sensation, his reason crumbled instantly, and he succumbed to the intense heat without a second thought...
Xu Zhe's imagined study play unfolded as expected...
