Sure enough, just as he expected, kissing in public could increase favorability.
Xiao Linyuan held Si Jin's hand with one hand and gripped his waist tightly with the other to prevent Si Jin from touching the table and making any inappropriate noises due to his strength.
The long, drawn-out kiss lasted for about a minute. Gradually, the employees regained their senses and their eyes widened in surprise.
Only after hearing a few faint gasps did Xiao Linyuan reluctantly release her, obediently standing beside Si Jin, and greeting a few employees in the dim light of the emergency lights coming from outside.
"Hi everyone, I'm here to pick up my friend from get off work."
"Hello, Mr. Xiao." The employees greeted him enthusiastically. The thought of Si Jin being there meant they could see Xiao Linyuan at the company often, which made them feel refreshed.
Xiao Linyuan was very tall, 187 cm, fair-skinned, and had a great physique.
Especially her slender phoenix eyes, with pupils close to the corners of her eyes and a third of her pupils covered by her eyelids, seemed to look at everything with a touch of deep affection, perfectly matching the traditional Eastern aesthetic. She was once revered in the industry as a "god-level beauty".
Who wouldn't be happy to see people like that every day?
"Why pick up a friend? Your boyfriend, please," a few young women joked as they left the company.
"Speaking of which, is this what they mean by 'no comparison, no harm'?" someone whispered. "I only thought President Jin was good-looking before, but I didn't expect him to be this good-looking. He doesn't look inferior at all standing next to Xiao Linyuan."
"Yes, that's why they're such a good match. Many male celebrities in the industry look quite pathetic compared to Xiao Linyuan; they'd be crushed into dust."
"Knowing that Actor Xiao is coming gives me motivation to go to work (^o^)"
A group of people chattered as they went downstairs, and only reluctantly dispersed after watching the two get into a car.
… …
In the car, Xiao Linyuan turned the steering wheel with one hand, driving smoothly towards his home.
Si Jin leaned back in the passenger seat, took the hot milk handed to her, casually inserted a straw, and slowly drank it to relieve the fatigue of the day.
The streetlights outside flashed by one by one. After finishing a sip of milk, Si Jin finally asked, "Didn't you have claustrophobia? Are you better now?"
“No,” Xiao Linyuan replied. “Today, my psychologist told me to try desensitization therapy, to keep struggling in the dark until I’m no longer afraid.”
“I originally wanted to try it at home, but the thought of being all alone scared me so much that I had to go to your company first.”
"Sure enough, kissing Jinjin made me less afraid."
Si Jin curled her lips, feeling both sorry for her and amused: "Then this isn't desensitization, it's just playing around, and it doesn't help the treatment at all."
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Linyuan sighed softly, his tone softening and full of coquettishness: "Jinjin, are you willing to leave me alone in the dark?"
When turning, Xiao Linyuan did not slow down, and Si Jin then realized that he was driving at 90 miles per hour.
"Are you crazy? Driving that fast in the city?"
“It’s okay, there are fewer people on this road, and I’ve just finished a song assignment and I’m in a hurry to get home to work. I’d like Jinjin to help me find some inspiration.”
Si Jin: ?
A short while later, the car came to a stop at the villa, and Si Jin was pulled by Xiao Linyuan to the poolside in the backyard of the villa.
The pool water had been changed to warm water, and several gold chains hung from the edge, shimmering with tiny, dripping light under the clear moonlight and the ripples in the water.
