Under Shan Shan’s guidance, Leng Xuan parked the car directly under Building 13 of the school’s faculty apartnt. After getting out of the car, he turned to Pang Shanshan and asked, "Do you need to help you up?"
If it had been any other ti, Pang Shanshan would have happily agreed because she usually thought of Leng Xuan as just a student. But now, she was feeling unusually awkward, so she said, "No... no need. I can walk by myself!"
Leng Xuan humd in acknowledgent, not minding, and said, "Then I’ll head back first! Bye!" With that, he turned and was ready to leave!
Pang Shanshan watched Leng Xuan’s retreating figure and felt an unexplained sense of loss. After being single for so many years, hadn’t she experienced feelings of loneliness? She had been waiting for her Prince Charming who never appeared, enduring the agony of being alone. If Leng Xuan were a bit older, or rather, if he weren’t a student, maybe she wouldn’t mind getting to know this young man better. Of course, she couldn’t exactly explain why she felt this way. Watching Leng Xuan walk away, she started to regret her choice. If given another chance, she would definitely not refuse his offer of help again.
After going upstairs, Pang Shanshan opened her own door when suddenly her phone rang. It was a call from Leng Xuan, which made her pause in surprise and happiness. After picking up, she heard him saying, "I forgot to take my clothes, they’re still in your car!"
"Oh, is that so!" Pang Shanshan felt slightly disappointed, thought for a mont, then said, "Then co up and fetch the car key. I’m in 303!"
Leng Xuan responded and hung up the phone. After a short while, he ca upstairs. Pang Shanshan was waiting for him at the door and saw him approach. Out of politeness, she said, "Why don’t you co in and sit for a bit? You drank a lot; won’t your parents say sothing when you get back?"
Leng Xuan hesitated, then shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I’ve been without parents since I was young!"
"Hmm?" Pang Shanshan was taken aback and felt a surge of motherly warmth, saying, "Well... okay, co in and sit for a while, I’ll make you a cup of pear juice to sober up." As she spoke, she didn’t wait for a response from Leng Xuan but walked inside.
Leng Xuan was a perfectly normal man, and to say he didn’t want to go in would naturally be a lie. However, he was concerned about returning late and upsetting Miss Ling, so he had originally intended to take his clothes and leave imdiately. But seeing Pang Shanshan go in, he felt compelled to follow and sit for a while. Once inside, he took off his shoes at the entryway, put on a pair of slippers, and then headed to the living room. He glanced around and noticed that Pang Shanshan’s place was not big—perhaps a two-bedroom layout—but it was very clean. The white walls and wooden flooring gave a warm feeling. There seed to be a unique scent of a woman in the air, truly intoxicating!
"You sit for a bit; watch so TV. I’ll go make that pear juice!" Pang Shanshan smiled at Leng Xuan.
After acknowledging her with an "oh," Leng Xuan sat down on the soft sofa in the living room. Feeling a bit tipsy, he found the sofa’s cushiness quite delightful. He picked up the remote from the coffee table and lazily flicked through TV channels, though he found it quite dull. Fortunately, before long, Pang Shanshan had made the pear juice and brought a cup over to Leng Xuan, holding one for herself as well.
"Today, heh, thank you!" Pang Shanshan said, sitting down next to Leng Xuan with a hint of embarrassnt.
Leng Xuan glanced at Shan Shan and noticed that the big girl seed a bit shy, which imdiately sparked his mischievousness. Pretending to be dumb, he said, "Is a simple ’thank you’ all that’s needed?"
Pang Shanshan was startled for a mont, her heart racing as she unexpectedly recalled yesterday’s ssage about offering herself in return. Yet outwardly, she put on an air as if it were nothing and asked, "How would you like to thank you?"
As expected, Leng Xuan brought up the matter, sporting a wicked grin, "Didn’t you say that if I went with you, you would offer yourself to ?"
Startled, Leng Xuan gave a bitter smile and said, "I need to take a call!"
"Oh!" Pang Shanshan sounded sowhat disappointed.
Leng Xuan fished out his mobile phone from his pants and glanced at the incoming call display. It turned out to be Li ngjie calling, which made him feel awkward. After pressing the answer button, he heard Li ngjie’s voice, saying, "Hey, Cold Bodyguard, why haven’t you co back yet? Where are you goofing off?"
Li ngjie was speaking without much thought, but Leng Xuan took it to heart and suddenly beca nervously tongue-tied, muttering, "Oh, I... I just finished buying things."
"Hmm~!" Li ngjie said cheerily, "Then hurry back! Oh, by the way, rember to bring back so late-night snacks for and Xue Jiu. Tonight, both Xue Jiu and I only had a pack of instant noodles, and we’re getting hungry!"
