Chapter 130 Coaxing the Little Ostrich
Xie Tinglan just happened to pass by.
He just saw Cheng Xuezhou and Xia Linxing sitting together, and thought of the little tricks Cheng Xuezhou had done before. He was afraid that some little idiot was being tricked again without knowing it, so he planned to come over to check.
Unexpectedly, Xia Linxing gave him such a big "surprise" just after he walked in!
Xia Linxing froze when he heard the familiar voice above him. He didn't even dare to look up at the person above him, fearing that he would waste time escaping, so he just turned around and ran.
But Xie Tinglan's reaction was faster than his - the moment Xia Linxing turned around, he quickly grabbed the neck of a little ostrich and pulled the person back.
Put it back in your arms and hold it with your hands to prevent it from escaping again.
After he finished this set of movements smoothly, he slowly lowered his eyes and said, "Huh?" "Why are you running?"
Seeing that he couldn't run away, Xia Linxing raised his head with a drooping mouth.
There was a smile on Xie Tinglan's lips, and his face looked like it was full of smiles, but his eyes were dark.
Xie Tinglan...seemed a little angry.
Xia Linxing was somewhat surprised to find that she could see Xie Tinglan's true emotions hidden under his smile at a glance.
Xia Linxing didn't know why, but her throat suddenly became dry. Her fingers unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes, and she stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Do you still want to change the C position?" Xie Tinglan lowered his eyes and slowly stroked the back of Xia Linxing's neck with his fingers.
The warm and dry fingers were slightly rough, caressing the delicate skin like a feather; the thumb pressed on the protruding cervical vertebra, kneading it with just the right amount of force, causing Xia Linxing to shrink his neck unconsciously, like a cat grabbed by the scruff of the neck, not daring to move, and let Xie Tinglan take him to the empty room.
It was not until the door slammed shut that Xia Linxing finally woke up and realized what had happened. He twisted his body and tried to break free from the restraints.
But it didn't work. Xie Tinglan pulled him closer and gently rubbed the inside of his wrist with his thumb.
"Tell me..." Xie Tinglan bent down, his breath brushing against Xia Linxing's earlobe, causing a slight shudder, "Why don't you want to sit in the center position?"
Xia Linxing turned away, not daring to look at Xie Tinglan's face. She could only stare at the tiny dust particles floating in the air, "I am... I am..."
He racked his brains to think of an excuse: "I feel... myself... ah, I'm not capable enough..."
"Yes, it's because of lack of ability!"
Xia Linxing thought of a suitable reason, and he calmed down and dared to look at Xie Tinglan: "The other trainees are ranked ahead of me, and their (individual) abilities are also better than mine. I think they are more suitable than me... That's why..."
"Really?" Xie Tinglan glanced at Xia Linxing lightly and said meaningfully, "Then it's not because...Xingxing wants to avoid me?"
……ah?
Xia Linxing was stunned.
How should he answer this?!
If he said "yes", it meant that he didn't intend to hide from Xie Tinglan. Otherwise, Xie Tinglan might take advantage of the situation and ask him to agree to some weird requests!
Yes, he has grown up!
He is no longer the silly little fool who could be fooled by Xie Tinglan!
But if he said "no"... it would mean that he was lying.
Ahh ...
"Have you figured out how to weave this, Xingxing?"
"Not yet—uh…"
When Xia Linxing realized what he had said, he was completely stunned. He raised his head tremblingly.
Xie Tinglan stood in the room against the light, the sunlight shining from behind him, giving his tall outline a golden edge.
But Xia Linxing was in no mood to appreciate it now, because the moment he looked up, Xie Tinglan suddenly leaned in close, his nose almost touching his forehead: "How about I answer for Xingxing?"
"Because I like stars, do they have to avoid me?"
Say it, say it out!
He just said the word "like" so casually? ! ! !
Xia Linxing widened his eyes and looked at Xie Tinglan in disbelief.
Although Xie Tinglan had previously broken through the thin layer of window paper, strictly speaking, he had not made it clear. Therefore, Xia Linxing could still play the ostrich and pretend that he did not know what Xie Tinglan meant.
But now, Xie Tinglan actually pointed it out directly!
What should he do?!
Xie Tinglan misunderstood Xia Linxing's meaning and reached out to touch his face: "Xingxing, don't worry, there are no cameras in this room, no one will see it."
Who, who asked you this?
Xia Linxing originally didn't think there was anything wrong with the two of them being alone in the room (after all, he and Xie Tinglan often talked in the lounge before), but now after hearing what Xie Tinglan said, Xia Linxing always felt... always felt that something was weird, and even his face turned red uncontrollably.
Xie Tinglan continued, "Xingxing is so eager to get away from me, is it because she hates me?"
This question...Xia Linxing can still answer it.
"No..." His voice was as thin as a mosquito's, "I don't hate it."
Xie Tinglan has helped him a lot since he joined the program crew, whether it was carrying him to the hospital when he was in the haunted house, or rushing to take him to the hospital in the middle of the night when he had a stomachache... Xia Linxing really couldn't say the word "hate" against his will.
"If that's not annoying, does Xingxing like me?"
This question was like a piece of red-hot charcoal, burning Xia Linxing so much that he almost jumped up and started to babble: "W-what... I, I... you can't... not... no..."
Seeing that Xia Linxing's language system was about to collapse, Xie Tinglan felt distressed and did not dare to force the little ostrich to answer, so he manually pulled the brake.
"Alright, alright..." He reached out and took Xia Linxing into his arms, letting her lean on his chest, "Xingxing, if you don't want to answer, then don't answer..."
He gently stroked Xia Linxing's head with his hand and whispered softly, "I only have one request..."
"I hope the stars aren't scared of me, okay?"
Xia Linxing's face rested on Xie Tinglan's solid chest, and the sound of his strong heartbeat in his chest filled her ears. Her originally confused thoughts gradually calmed down.
Feeling the gentle caress on his head, he didn't know what he was thinking. He actually reached out and grabbed the clothes on Xie Tinglan's chest, then said "hmm" softly.
"Then Xingxing... won't hide from me anymore, right?"
"Yeah." Xia Linxing nodded obediently.
Only then did Xie Tinglan smile with satisfaction.
And he even stretched out his little finger childishly, "Then make a pinky promise with me..."
"Then it's a deal, Xingxing can't hide from me anymore..."
"So I can't do that. I need to find someone to replace the C position this time..."
"Uh-huh……"
Under Xie Tinglan's very gentle and soft voice, Xia Linxing was coaxed into stretching out her little finger and hooking it on Xie Tinglan's finger.
