Then what about you?

Putting aside all the contract clauses and sense of responsibility, I'm asking, what about you?

Lu Xing was stunned.

The dark night sky outside the hospital window and the noisy chirping of cicadas at this mont overlapped and rged in his mind.

Different scenes, the sa words. mories rushed toward Lu Xing like a relentless tide.

'Then what about ?'

Lu Xing remained expressionless. Even his basic professional smile could no longer be maintained. He tightly gripped the contract paper in his hand.

"It doesn't matter to , but I have to abide by the contract."

"Abide by the contract?"

Xia Yeshuang's usually proud and bright eyes were now soaked with tears. They were wet, yet she stubbornly looked directly into Lu Xing's eyes.

After the first tear fell, the rest could no longer be stopped and poured down her face.

She snatched the contract from Lu Xing's hand, tore it in half as if venting all her pain, and threw the pieces aside fiercely.

"Contract, contract!"

"Now there's no contract!"

Xia Yeshuang moved infinitely close to Lu Xing's face, so close that he could count every single one of her eyelashes.

"I'm asking you, Lu Xing! I'm asking you!"

The torn papers fluttered and fell to the ground.

One piece landed by Lu Xing's foot. On it were the fresh tear stains of Xia Yeshuang's weeping, looking particularly stark on the white paper.

Lu Xing took a step back and spoke, trying to ease the suffocating atmosphere.

"You're littering."

"You also know that those things are trash?!"

Xia Yeshuang spoke through her tears. Uncontrollable sobs stread from her bright eyes. Her nose was red, and her eyes were puffy and bloodshot.

"Have I ever ordered you around as stipulated in the contract? Have I ever treated you like a subordinate I could freely dispose of?"

"I saw you were too thin, so the lunch you ate every day was matched by a nutritionist I found! I said I wanted you to live a good life with ! To fatten you up!"

"I even curse at my dad, but I have never cursed at you!"

"Am I so bad to you? Don't I even count as a friend to you? Now you're just reciting these things according to the contract. Do you really not understand? Do you think I want to hear these things?"

Xia Yeshuang's voice was thick with a heavy cry. All her arrogance was abandoned, leaving only a wounded little lion.

"Lu Xing, you're not even willing to tell a single sincere word."

Wronged.

Right now, she felt particularly wronged.

The more Xia Yeshuang spoke, the more her sense of grievance grew. In the end, she cried until she couldn't stop hiccuping, looking both pitiful and funny at the sa ti.

In her eighteen years of life, the kindness she had shown to Lu Xing surpassed that of anyone else who had ever appeared in her life.

But now.

This bastard was holding a damn contract and saying, "I have to settle accounts with you one by one"?

If she had really wanted to ss with Lu Xing, she wouldn't have even glanced at the contract in the first place!

"You... hic... you are simply... hic..."

'It's over.'

These crying hiccups were unstoppable.

Anger and sha welled up together. Xia Yeshuang's face was completely red. She wanted to vent her anger, but Old Man Xia wasn't here to take the brunt of it.

So she angrily kicked the bench.

"Ah—"

So painful!

Lu Xing watched firsthand a large scale docuntary of a bench taming a human.

"Slow down."

Just as Xia Yeshuang was about to fall unsteadily from the impact, Lu Xing supported her arm and helped her sit down.

"I don't need you to help !"

Xia Yeshuang threw off Lu Xing's hand and sat down facing the other direction, thoroughly annoyed.

Lu Xing laughed inwardly.

As expected.

Frankness is occasional, but the "tsundere" trait is the norm.

Lu Xing took out a small bottle of water from his bag, unscrewed the cap, and handed it over, then slowly began to soothe the Little Goldie's breathing.

"You should drink so water first."

"Even if we have to argue, you should calm down first, and then we can argue properly."

Xia Yeshuang listened, and it seed to make so sense.

And so.

She awkwardly snatched the water from Lu Xing's hand and angrily took several large gulps.

'Hmph!'

I won't drink you poor!

After calming down for a while, Xia Yeshuang finally returned to normal. She suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Xing beside her.

"You still haven't answered my question!"

The smile on Lu Xing's lips froze.

'Alright.'

This Little Goldie is getting more and more perceptive. I can't fool her anymore.

But this business was likely over anyway. Plus, he had saved enough money and had been a little slack recently. So Lu Xing leaned back on the chair, squinted his eyes, and spoke.

"Boss Xia, what on earth do you want to know?"

As soon as these words ca out, Xia Yeshuang's fire rose again. She shot up from her seat and blocked the sunlight in front of Lu Xing.

She bent down, grabbed Lu Xing's collar, and asked through gritted teeth.

"What do I want to know?"

"I want to know, do you, do you, do you not have any..."

The words reached her lips, but Xia Yeshuang couldn't say anything further. Lu Xing's eyes were too calm, so calm that it seed they couldn't contain anything at all.

When a person is faced with the correct answer, they are always the most nervous.

Afraid that he would say yes, and equally afraid that he would say no.

Even Xia Yeshuang herself didn't know what answer she truly wanted from Lu Xing.

What answer would she get?

Xia Yeshuang's head ached from crying. Now, looking at Lu Xing's "if I can live, I live; if I can't, I die" look, her head ached even more.

She couldn't bring herself to curse him, nor could she bring herself to hit him.

After making such a big scene, in the end, she had only managed to wrinkle Lu Xing's collar.

'F*ck!'

So frustrating!

Xia Yeshuang had never been so frustrated before. It was like she had punched a giant ball of cotton.

At this ti.

Lu Xing sat lazily on the bench, while Xia Yeshuang stood in front of him, bent over, and grabbed his collar.

Perhaps looking from a distance, the two of them could be considered a loving little couple.

Xia Yeshuang was completely unaware of how close the two of them were at this mont.

It was only when she looked up that she caught a glimpse of a woman standing not far behind the bench.

The woman was wearing a black half skirt, with a silk white shirt on top. The high heels on her feet accentuated her slender calves.

Her long hair was neatly tied up at the back of her head, and she stood there, proper and gentle.

Wen Lingxiu.

It was Wen Lingxiu.

Xia Yeshuang suddenly wanted to laugh.

'Lu Xing's charm is really sothing. The great CEO Wen, such a busy person, could actually be waiting obediently here?'

Fine.

Really fine.

Xia Yeshuang was naturally a competitive person. At this mont, seeing Wen Lingxiu's appearance, her competitive spirit suddenly blazed.

CEO Wen, if you hadn't suddenly appeared, how would Lu Xing and I have ended up in this situation?

I can't do anything to Lu Xing.

But CEO Wen, I won't let you feel good in your heart.

You'd better open your damn eyes and see clearly.

"I'll just ask you one question."

Xia Yeshuang lowered her head, stared into Lu Xing's eyes, and asked, extrely slowly and firmly.

"Your services for other clients... have you ever crossed the line?"

'Hmm?'

Lu Xing's squinted eyes suddenly widened. But after a mont of thought...

He got it!

Could it be that Little Goldie is afraid that his service for her is worse than his service for other clients?

As a professional simp, it was his consistent quality to be diligent and responsible for every client.

So Lu Xing imdiately shook his head.

"No, for them, I've always... mmm."

Lu Xing's unfinished explanation was swallowed whole.

For the first ti, Lu Xing discovered that lip gloss was sweet.
