Chen Shuning nodded gently, her hair falling from her ears. The sunlight shone through the gaps in her hair on the side, and the sparkling light added to her beauty.
"Okay, I'll definitely come when the time comes." Her "definitely" was said with great sincerity and a slightly emphasized tone.
Of course, Chen Shuning meant it. She wasn't the kind of person who would be polite and evasive in everyday conversations. When ordinary people chatted and agreed to something, they would probably add an uncertain "if I'm free then" or "we'll see how it goes."
Xu Xi was fascinated by Chen Shuning. The sunlight from behind made her look so beautiful.
Chen Shuning is looking forward to it, and she also said that she will definitely come.
So Chen Shuning wasn't against her, right? She probably held a position in Chen Shuning's heart that was close enough for them to get along. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited her home for coffee and a chat about business.
Thinking of this, Xu Xi happily spun around in her body and cheered.
It seems that pursuing Chen Shuning is not a very troublesome thing.
Xu Xi looked at the time and felt that it was almost time to go back. She had been out all day.
She told Chen Shuning that she wanted to go back, and the two of them left the study together.
Chen Shuning glanced at the balcony and said, "I originally thought that the clothes from last night were still wet and could be put back, but the clothes that were just stained by coffee are still soaked in water. It's not convenient to take them back. How about I send them to you next time?"
Xu Xi also glanced at the balcony. "This is the only way."
Of course Xu Xi was willing. This would give them another reason to meet.
Although the purpose of coming here was to get clothes, such an accident happened. Not only could I not get the clothes, but I had to leave another piece of clothes here.
No, I changed my clothes here.
Xu Xi thought back and subconsciously lowered her head to take a look at her clothes. Her ears couldn't help but feel slightly hot, and she realized that she could actually go home wearing Chen Shuning's clothes!
This is Chen Shuning's clothes.
It was over. Now it wasn't just her ears that were burning; her heartbeat was also accelerating, and her cheeks were burning. She felt like she was on fire.
Xu Xi was so nervous that she stuttered. "I, I'm still wearing your clothes. It's okay to take them next time. I'll return them to you then."
"Okay." Chen Shuning agreed.
When they were about to leave, Chen Shuning filled a small jar of homemade jasmine syrup for Xu Xi. Then she picked up the car keys and prepared to go out with Xu Xi.
"Let me take you back."
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment. Chen Shuning wanted to send her back? This was not possible!
To be exact, not now.
Who wouldn't like to be walked home by the person they love? But... Xu Xi had her own reasons.
At this moment, Xu Xi suddenly remembered that if Chen Shuning took her home, then when she got to her house, she would definitely invite Chen Shuning to sit with her for a while out of courtesy, right?
Her small rental apartment, replete with the ambiance of a workstation, lacked any trace of life. Aside from a few vibrant plants on the balcony, the rest of the furnishings and decorations resembled a company office: mechanical, cold, and devoid of emotion.
She didn't want Chen Shuning to feel a cold and boring space when he entered her home. The person she liked should feel her beauty.
She needs some time to renovate her cottage and turn it into a warm home.
Then he would invite her to his house for afternoon tea, just like Chen Shuning invited him to his house for coffee today. Even if they were talking about work, they would not feel any work pressure.
There is only physical and mental pleasure, and the excitement of being with the person you love.
So, not now.
But I still feel a little lost and regretful when I refuse the person I like to send me back. After all, I have lost another chance to spend time with him.
Xu Xi's eyes were a little embarrassed. She hid the little regret in her heart and casually found an excuse to say, "No, I can just take a taxi back. I have to go see my friend later. I'm sorry to bother you today. You don't have to send me off."
Chen Shuning tightened his grip on the car keys, watching the person he had been silently chasing for years leave. He wanted to ask them to stay, but he finally held back.
Chen Shuning: "Okay then."
It's been more than ten years, there's no need to rush.
After Xu Xi changed her shoes and walked out the door, she turned back to look at Chen Shuning, smiled brightly, and said to her, "By the way, Chen Shuning, I wish you good luck in your retest tomorrow."
Chen Shuning's soft lips opened slightly, and her eyes were filled with a bright smile.
"Thanks."
Xu Xi still smiled, thinking that the conversation was over. She turned around and was about to leave, but she heard Chen Shuning say something before she completely turned around:
"Just call me Shuning." This seems familiar.
Xu Xi was stunned. She didn't even notice this. Calling someone by their full name was a bit inappropriate.
