Xu Ziyu glanced at the return form, flipping through it as he casually asked, "What reward do you want?"
"Come with me to the newly opened amusement park." Luo Xikui had always wanted to go.
"Naive," Xu Ziyu commented with two words, without objection.
Luo Xikui felt hopeful, so she shook his arm and pleaded, "Come on, come on."
"We'll talk about it after I pass the exam." Xu Ziyu wasn't interested in crowded places, but he couldn't resist her nagging.
“Then it’s a deal. I will definitely pass the exam.” Luo Xikui was secretly delighted. She wanted to take advantage of this date to press her advantage and make him officially acknowledge her as his girlfriend before the start of high school.
Xu Ziyu didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her smiling happily, he didn't say anything more and continued looking at the reports.
Luo Xikui finished dinner at the Xu family's house before returning home. As soon as Xiang Hengxi saw her, he teased her, "So you're finally going back to your parents' home?"
"Nonsense." Xiang Zhilan gave her son a flick on the forehead, but also looked at her with a smile.
Her two younger brothers also looked at her with the same expression as if she had just returned from her in-laws' house, which made her feel embarrassed, and she quickly ran upstairs.
She bumped into her father on the veranda, called out to him, and went inside.
To her surprise, her usually taciturn father called out to her, and she stopped and looked at him.
Shen Muzhi coughed lightly, his expression slightly serious, and said, "Xiao Kui, I don't object to you liking A Yu, but you should keep a proper distance. Boys this age are impulsive. Otherwise, I can teach you some grappling techniques..."
"Dad, what are you saying!" Luo Xikui blushed upon hearing this, stomped her foot in embarrassment, and darted into the bedroom.
She threw herself onto the bed, her ears still red. How could her father think that way? She was the one who was more impulsive. Usually, she was the one who took the initiative to get close to Tuantuan, even that kiss was hers, while Tuantuan didn't seem to have ever made any intimate gestures towards her.
Aside from flicking her forehead, the closest I've ever been to her is holding her up on the bus to prevent her from falling.
Thinking about it, he realized he hadn't even held her hand, which was too much of a gentleman. When they walked, he would keep a distance of two palms between them unless she got close.
What did he really think of her? He never mentioned that cheek kiss again, as if it had never happened.
Oh dear, could it be that she's just imagining things?
After thinking about it, Luo Xikui tossed and turned, then took out her phone and made a video call to Xu Ziyu.
Xu Ziyu had just finished showering and was drying his hair when he answered the phone.
The two looked at each other on their phone screens. Luo Xikui could almost smell the fresh scent of his freshly showered body, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Xu Ziyu spoke first.
“Hmm,” she found herself at a loss for words, as if everything that needed to be said had already been said at the Xu family’s house.
"Did you call just so I could see you spacing out?" Xu Ziyu said casually, tossing the towel he was using onto the back of the chair.
"I...you..." Luo Xikui stammered for a while before finally asking, "What do you think of me?"
"What do you mean, how is it?" Xu Ziyu held his phone in one hand and picked up the report from the table with the other, not paying much attention to her question.
Luo Xikui forced herself to ask, "Like, is she pretty, or what's her personality like?"
Xu Ziyu looked up at his phone, his long eyes narrowing slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips: "What answer do you want to hear?"
Luo Xikui tugged at the ears of the rabbit doll in her hand and pouted, "Just give the truth."
Xu Ziyu raised an eyebrow slightly, "I'll let you know if I do well on the exam tomorrow."
Tch, still keeping me in suspense?
