"I really want to say something cool like I did just now and tell you to get lost... but I can't!"
Upon hearing these words, a spark of hope rekindled in Lu Zhe's eyes.
There's hope!
He wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and then closed it again. He found that it seemed more appropriate to show his attitude and determination through actions than through words.
So Lu Zhe gently cupped the girl's beautiful face in his hands and kissed away her tears.
Then he whispered in her ear, "It's okay, don't push yourself..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a punch.
The girl punched his chest with her small fist, crying and shouting, "Go ahead and be smug! Just like the lyrics say, those who are favored are always fearless."
The force was so great that Lu Zhe only needed to catch his breath a couple of times to recover. He quickly hugged the girl and comforted her, "No, no, no, I'm not proud at all, and I won't take it for granted. I know it's not a given that you like me, and I understand that I should cherish you from now on."
Xue Xiaodie: "Did I make you understand because of my antics just now?"
Lu Zhe: "No, I already knew. Really, you can rest assured from now on, I will never get carried away."
“Getting carried away…” Xue Xiaodie muttered to herself, then suddenly frowned slightly, looking a little uneasy. “What I did just now… did I think I was being a bit dramatic? Will you hate it?”
Lu Zhe quickly shook his head: "I don't hate it. I just felt that I was a bit too much. It's just that I couldn't help thinking about you all night, so I didn't see the atmosphere or pay attention to your feelings before I came over to confess to you. I'm sorry."
Xue Xiaodie tilted her head: "Thinking of me? But you were clearly thinking of me at that time... Xiaocaitang, do you know that?"
Lu Zhe: "Am I an idiot? How could I possibly say something like that?"
Xue Xiaodie couldn't help but laugh: "Luckily it's Xiao Caitang, she probably won't notice anything. But, when you're with me, do you ever think of her or President Xia?"
"That's absolutely impossible!" After making that assertive statement, Lu Zhe still felt a little guilty, so he added, "At least for now, absolutely not."
Xue Xiaodie smiled and nodded: "If you say now, then I'll believe you."
Lu Zhe: "Didn't you say you would always believe in me, unconditionally?"
Xue Xiaodie stuck out her little tongue, winked playfully, and didn't say anything.
Lu Zhe also fell silent, quietly watching her.
He saw that the girl still had traces of tears on her face, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were red and swollen. But the smile and happiness in her tearful eyes were exceptionally genuine.
After a long silence, Xue Xiaodie suddenly asked softly, "When you're with them, you sometimes think of me, but when you're with me, you don't think of them. Does that mean that I hold a more important place in your heart?"
Lu Zhe nodded.
Logically speaking, nodding would be the obvious choice, since Xia Xiaobing and Tang Qi weren't there and couldn't hear what they were saying. In front of Xue Xiaodie, it was natural to say that Xue Xiaodie was the most important person.
But even if we don't speak rationally, just based on how we feel at this moment, this affirmative answer is the most honest.
Xue Xiaodie blinked and smiled smugly, "That's good. They were in the lead before, but now, without them knowing, I've turned the tables."
Lu Zhe: "The important thing isn't winning back a point, is it?"
Xue Xiaodie: "I understand. The important thing is that I like you and you like me, and that's enough. As for others... although it's bound to feel a little awkward, as long as I think that you like me the most, everything else can be ignored."
Lu Zhe replied, "Strictly speaking, I don't like you."
Xue Xiaodie: "?"
Lu Zhe looked directly into the girl's eyes and said earnestly, "I love you."
Xue Xiaodie was stunned for a few seconds.
Then she laughed and said, "That sharp turn was a bit cliché..."
“No, I’m not joking or making a joke,” Lu Zhe interrupted. “I’m speaking from the heart. My feelings these past few days have made one thing clear to me. I love you, from now until the future, and always will be.”
Xue Xiaodie said blankly, "You've already confessed successfully, there's no need..."
"It's not a question of whether it was necessary or not, I just wanted to say it, so I said it."
Before Lu Zhe could finish speaking, Xue Xiaodie threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
The girl rubbed her face against his chest and said in a coquettish tone, "Seeing Little Rainbow do this, I've wanted to try it for a long time... Hmm, it feels really good."
Lu Zhe: "Maybe it's because I have pectoral muscles?"
Xue Xiaodie laughed and said, "That's right, your pectoral muscles are probably A cup, even bigger than Xiao Caitang's."
Lu Zhe: "That's not true, you're being too mean to her."
Xue Xiaodie suddenly raised her face, stared at him, and smiled so hard her eyes almost squinted: "Anyway, she's not here. Oh, now I finally don't have to hold back anymore. I can hug you whenever I want, kiss you whenever I want, it's so nice..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhe lowered his face and kissed the girl's cherry lips.
This kiss lasted for more than ten minutes.
As the long kiss ended, Xue Xiaodie whispered, "It felt so good, I feel like I've been waiting for so long..."
Lu Zhe: "Indeed."
Xue Xiaodie: "Speaking of which, I should be the first person I met, and it's only now..."
Lu Zhe: "It's okay, there's no escaping this. I think there's absolutely no one else in the world who can be as tolerant of me as you are."
While kissing Xue Xiaodie, Lu Zhe had almost figured things out. From now on, he would keep it a secret from Xia Xiaobing and Tang Qi, and try to keep it from both of them as much as possible. After all, given Xia Xiaobing's strong personality, she probably wouldn't accept that he was only one-third of the original. Tang Qi might accept it, but that young lady was easier to fool, so there was no need to make a fuss.
Xue Xiaodie thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand and poked Lu Zhe's cheek.
The girl's eyes sparkled like stars, and her breath was sweet as orchids: "Yes, in this world, only I would unconditionally tolerate you like this, even willing to be your secret lover. So, you must never let me down again."
Lu Zhe raised his hand and swore, "Absolutely not!"
Xue Xiaodie smiled slyly: "You're definitely going to keep it a secret from President Xia and Xiao Caitang, and then ask me for help. In that case, although I'm your secret lover, I'm actually your legal wife, right?"
Lu Zhe nodded immediately: "Of course!"
Xue Xiaodie thought for a moment, then suddenly asked with some unease, "Don't you think I'm a bit of a green tea bitch?"
Lu Zhe: "Green tea is about casting a wide net. Being single-minded doesn't make you a green tea; at most, it just means you have tricks up your sleeve."
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "It's okay, green tea and scumbag are a perfect match."
