Chapter 12 Complete Victory, She Wants to Get
Chapter 12
Lu Baozhu overestimated her physical strength; her legs were already weak when she climbed the stairs home after strolling in the park.
Holding onto Xu Xing'an's sleeve, Lu Baozhu was also very tired.
Lu Baozhu grabbed Xu Xing'an's arm from his sleeve, and Xu Xing'an paused and turned around to look at her.
Lu Baozhu tilted her small face up to him, revealing a beautiful and dazzling appearance.
Xu Xing'an bent down after a while and said, "Come on up."
Lu Baozhu excitedly climbed onto Xu Xing'an's back, "Old man, you've really had a tough time."
Xu Xing'an carried Lu Baozhu up the stairs. Lu Baozhu lay on his back and talked to him, "I think humans should have a balance between work and rest. We should work when we need to work, and we should also rest when we need to rest."
Before coming to find Xu Xing'an, Lu Baozhu had her own job, an office job that wasn't particularly easy but wasn't tiring either, and she could even slack off in her spare time.
When they arrived at her door, Lu Baozhu took out her key from her pocket. She wanted to open the door, but Xu Xing'an was too tall. She leaned on Xu Xing'an's back and reached out to open the door, but she couldn't quite reach it.
Lu Baozhu: "Bend down, bend down a little."
Lu Baozhu used her key to open the door, and the door next door also opened. A woman who didn't look very old came out. She had permed hair and looked them up and down. There was a hint of scrutiny in her eyes when she saw Lu Baozhu.
Lu Baozhu sat on the sofa, eating the apple that Xu Xing'an had given her. The apple was in small pieces with toothpicks attached, making it very convenient to eat.
Lu Baozhu: "Who lives next door?"
Xu Xing'an thought for a moment, "I've bumped into you a few times, but I don't recognize you."
Lu Baozhu: "The way she looked at me, she'll definitely gossip."
Xu Xing'an seemed to be thinking when he heard Lu Baozhu say, "Anyway, I don't care. But do you care?"
Xu Xing'an: "Why should we care about this?"
Lu Baozhu suddenly realized that Xu Xing'an had never trusted anyone since then. She thought that Xu Xing'an simply couldn't trust others because of his own experience of betrayal. Now it seemed that he probably didn't care about others at all.
Lu Baozhu: "Then what do you care about?"
Xu Xing'an lowered his eyes. What did he care about?
When Xu Xing'an looked up, his gaze fell on Lu Baozhu.
...
The conflict between Lu Baozhu and Xu Xing'an was resolved, and Lu Baozhu accompanied Xu Xing'an to set up a stall by the sea.
As evening approached and a gentle breeze blew across the sea, Lu Baozhu held a conch shell, listening to the sound of the sea breeze within. In surprise, she held the conch shell to Xu Xing'an's ear.
Lu Baozhu: "It's the sound of the sea breeze."
Xu Xing'an: "It's the sound of the sea breeze."
Lu Baozhu's arm was a little sore. She shook her arm, and Xu Xing'an grasped her wrist. After he stopped using force, Lu Baozhu instantly felt relieved, but she could feel the heat of Xu Xing'an's palm on her wrist.
Lu Baozhu played with the conch shell for a while longer before putting it away.
Chen Yu came over again, this time to see Xu Xing'an. Lu Baozhu didn't know whether to admire Chen Yu's trust in Xu Xing'an and his desire to cooperate with him, or to admire Xu Xing'an himself, who possessed a charm that inspired trust.
Before coming to see Xu Xing'an, Lu Baozhu was very nervous. After meeting Xu Xing'an, Lu Baozhu was able to throw a tantrum in front of him, just because she was Xu Xing'an's fiancée.
Xu Xing'an doesn't like her, but her status as his fiancée makes him treat Lu Baozhu as his future wife and he will be tolerant of her.
Chen Yu chuckled, "I don't know why you're setting up a stall here now, but I'm sure you won't be making money here forever." As he spoke, he looked towards Lu Baozhu, who was not far away.
Chen Yu: "We've worked together before. Even putting aside my character, my work ability is absolutely not a problem!"
Xu Xing'an seemed to be thinking, while Chen Yu continued to recommend himself, "It's much better than you finding someone you don't know to work with again, right? I've been in the industry for several years and I know some people."
Xu Xing'an: "You can wait."
Chen Yu laughed and said, "With your words, I will definitely wait."
Xu Xing'an didn't take it to heart. Even if Chen Yu told him that he couldn't cooperate with him anymore, or that he had found a partner in the meantime, none of this would make Xu Xing'an feel anything.
Xu Xing'an took Lu Baozhu back with him. Lu Baozhu gently swung her legs, staring at the sandals she was wearing today. The silver sandals were shiny.
Lu Baozhu: "Did he come here again to do something with you?"
Xu Xing'an: "Yes."
Lu Baozhu: "He is really persistent, but I know why he is so persistent."
This is just like Lu Baozhu wanting to marry Xu Xing'an.
Xu Xing'an: "Why?"
Lu Baozhu smiled but did not answer Xu Xing'an. A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and her eyes were full of admiration for Xu Xing'an.
...
Lu Baozhu has started to get used to climbing stairs, but her habit is limited to not being out of breath. If possible, Lu Baozhu still wants to live in an apartment building with an elevator.
Whenever she was with Xu Xing'an, Lu Baozhu would always tug at his sleeve, even if she wasn't panting for breath now.
That day, Lu Baozhu stared at Xu Xing'an's palm, thinking that it would be much easier if she could hold Xu Xing'an's palm directly.
Unfortunately, he's an old-fashioned person.
The weather wasn't too hot yet, so it wasn't necessary to wear long sleeves. Xu Xing'an told Lu Baozhu to wear more layers.
After learning about Xu Xing'an's somewhat old-fashioned personality, Lu Baozhu rarely wore her pajamas, which Xu Xing'an might have considered rather revealing.
Later, Xu Xing'an encountered her again. It was when Xu Xing'an came to see Lu Baozhu that Lu Baozhu opened the door. Not only was she wearing that set of pajamas, but the legs of her pajamas shorts were also rolled up.
After handing Lu Baozhu the hot milk, Xu Xing'an turned around and went back to his room without saying another word to her.
When Lu Baozhu felt lazy, she thought of simply asking Xu Xing'an to carry her upstairs, but unfortunately Xu Xing'an wouldn't cooperate and pretended to be very tired.
Lu Baozhu was even thinking that she should ask Xu Xing'an to accompany her to the park again next time.
Xu Xing'an turned to look at Lu Baozhu, who suppressed a laugh.
Xu Xing'an: "What's wrong?"
Lu Baozhu: "We're going back soon."
Chen Yu bought a lot of fruit. He wasn't worried that Xu Xing'an would regret saying he wanted to cooperate with him; he just wanted to build a good relationship with Xu Xing'an.
Chen Yu smiled as he looked at Xu Xing'an, who wasn't inviting him in; he had no intention of going in either.
Chen Yu: "I passed by a fruit shop, and they were having a sale on fruit, so I bought a lot. The most important thing was these lychees; they were incredibly sweet!"
Xu Xing'an may not eat, but his girlfriend will, right?
When Lu Baozhu saw Chen Yu, she said, "It's you."
Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed. He went to see Xu Xing'an several times, but Lu Baozhu saw him every time.
Chen Yu: "These lychees are really delicious."
Lu Baozhu didn't invite Chen Yu in. She knew what kind of person Xu Xing'an was; he distrusted others extremely and certainly didn't like people coming to his home as guests.
Xu Xing'an didn't invite Chen Yu in to sit down, and Lu Baozhu certainly wouldn't bring up the matter herself.
The lychees Chen Yu bought were really delicious, very sweet and fresh.
After eating a few, Lu Baozhu offered one to Xu Xing'an, who then peeled a lychee and handed it to her.
Lu Baozhu: "It's very sweet."
Remembering that Xu Xing'an preferred light flavors, unlike Lu Baozhu who liked spicy and flavorful dishes, she didn't force him.
After Lu Baozhu finished eating another lychee, she heard Xu Xing'an say, "It's very sweet."
Lu Baozhu loves to eat lychees; she has no idea how many she has eaten.
Xu Xingan said, "Eating too much will cause internal heat."
Lu Baozhu kept nodding and showed no sign of stopping. Xu Xing'an put all the lychees away, and even when he saw Lu Baozhu looking up at him, he didn't waver in the slightest.
Xu Xing'an: "We can't eat today."
Lu Baozhu: "......."
In the evening, Xu Xing'an took Lu Baozhu out to dinner. As they passed a lychee stall, Lu Baozhu thought that the lychees there certainly wouldn't taste as good as the ones Chen Yu had bought.
Xu Xing'an walked past the lychee stall with Lu Baozhu, cold and indifferent.
Lu Baozhu: "Don't you think those lychees might not be as fresh as the ones Chen Yu gave us?"
Xu Xingan: "The lychees he sent are very fresh, so there's no problem eating them tomorrow."
Lu Baozhu never expected that Xu Xing'an would be so stubborn in controlling her on such matters.
Lu Baozhu wanted lychees; she had to have them, she hadn't had enough.
Lu Baozhu: "I won't eat too many at once next time. These lychees were really, really delicious."
Lu Baozhu was met with Xu Xing'an's silence.
Lu Baozhu: "Xu Xing'an!"
Lu Baozhu didn't climb the stairs properly, but instead tugged at Xu Xing'an's sleeve. The man remained as steady as a mountain in front of Lu Baozhu, unmoved.
Lu Baozhu was not discouraged at all; instead, she became more and more determined. With her big, watery eyes, she looked at Xu Xing'an pitifully and asked, "Is it really not possible?"
Xu Xing'an took out the lychees he had put away, and Lu Baozhu won decisively!
Xu Xing'an: "This will not be repeated."
Lu Baozhu: "Mmm!"
Xu Xing'an felt that Lu Baozhu did not take what he said to heart at all, and even her "uh-huhs" were perfunctory.
The sweet lychee touched Xu Xing'an's lips, and Lu Baozhu said, "It's delicious."
Xu Xing'an: "Did you hear what I just said to you?"
Lu Baozhu: "What did you say?"
Xu Xingan: "......"
Lu Baozhu didn't know, and she said, "You should try it."
After eating the lychees, Xu Xing'an sat down next to Lu Baozhu and continued to peel lychees for her. Lu Baozhu had already wiped her fingers clean with a handkerchief.
