Chapter 132: Chapter 126: Calling Everyone Brother_3
She couldn’t flirt with him like she did at the beginning, and she couldn’t keep playing ambiguous gas with him either.
So she thought, as long as they didn’t et or contact each other often, her feelings would fade over ti.
But she realized they couldn’t fade at all.
Lu Jingyan stared at Sheng Xian’s face being sunned, wrestled internally for a mont, and couldn’t help but raise his hand to shade him from the sunlight.
Sigh.
If I’m hopeless, then I’m hopeless.
After all, in this lifeti, I’d only be hopeless for him alone.
Lu Jingyan’s hand had only been up for a short while when Sheng Xian’s eyelashes trembled slightly and he opened his eyes.
Waking up, he looked tiredly at her hand over his head and frowned slightly.
Seeing him awake, Lu Jingyan withdrew her hand.
Sheng Xian slowly straightened up, staring at her hand holding his clothes and grunted after two seconds, “Thanks.”
“Thanks for what?”
“Thanks, Little Fish, for shading Brother.”
“…” Lu Jingyan opened her mouth to speak and uncomfortably cleared her throat, “I just didn’t want you to get tanned. If your face and neck ended up different colors, that’d be ugly.”
Sheng Xian chuckled softly, not exposing her flimsy excuse, “Good morning.”
Lu Jingyan replied, “Morning.”
Sheng Xian looked at her for two seconds, “That’s it?”
Lu Jingyan blinked, a bit puzzled, “Hmm?”
Sheng Xian didn’t say anything.
Wasn’t everything okay last night at the bar? How co it still feels like the last few days, the way he says ‘good morning’ feels so insincere?
After all, he had stayed with her all night.
This fish really just can’t be tad, can it?
Lu Jingyan didn’t have a clue what Sheng Xian was thinking.
She saw him staring at her persistently, his expression not so friendly, and tilted her head to ponder seriously.
Last night, she was so groggy, she hadn’t understood much, but after a night’s sleep her brain worked much faster.
He had seen her upset last night and had taken her ho and stayed, even ssaging her when he noticed that she had turned on her light at midnight.
So far, she hadn’t shown him any sign of gratitude.
Lu Jingyan suddenly exclaid “Oh,” understanding what Sheng Xian ant by “That’s it?”, and imdiately spoke earnestly to Sheng Xian, “There is! There’s more!”
Sheng Xian felt a slight bit of anticipation.
The next second, she watched a serious and solemn elentary schooler speak to him, “You worked hard last night. I am a person who knows how to repay kindness. In the future, I will definitely repay your favor in full.”
“Thank you,” Lu Jingyan added thoughtfully, wanting to show her sincerity, “Mr. Sheng Xian.”
“…”
Sheng Xian almost laughed in exasperation.
Forget calling him ‘brother’—with all this formality, if anyone didn’t know better, they might think they were from different generations.
Sheng Xian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and enunciated very clearly, looking at her, “Not in the future—do it now.”
Lu Jingyan thought, when did Professor Sheng beco so impatient, “…Ah? Now?”
“Yes, now.”
How could she repay his kindness now… Lu Jingyan fell silent for a few seconds, then asked in a negotiating tone, “Should I… invite you to dinner at my place?”
Sheng Xian glanced at her, “You’ll cook?”
Lu Jingyan opened her mouth, “I can’t.”
“Even if you could, I wouldn’t dare eat it.”
“……”
Lu Jingyan fell silent for a few seconds, growing slightly impatient, “Just say it, how do you want
to repay you?”
Sheng Xian asked nonchalantly, “If I say it, will you do it?”
Lu Jingyan, feeling like she had fallen into a trap, hesitated for a mont, then nodded, “As long as it’s not too much.”
“All right, let
think.” Sheng Xian actually took the ti to think seriously. After a few seconds, he turned his head and stared at her intently, “Calling you ‘brother’ wouldn’t be too much, right?”
Lu Jingyan was stunned, “What?”
“I said calling you ‘brother’ wouldn’t be too much, right?”
“…”
“If that’s not too much, then can I be a bit more audacious, like,” Sheng Xian said softly, and amidst the barking dogs and noisy children in the park not far from the car, his latter words were exceptionally clear as if he spoke right beside her, “from now on, only calling you ‘brother.'”
