Staring at her solemnly, Zhong Minhe asked, “Why did you agree so quickly?”
Long Xiaoxi answered, “Because... I’ve never had a boyfriend all these years. I didn’t want to give others the chance to hurt , but you’re different. I have known you since I was four years old. I know you very well. Brother Minhe, you’re a ticulous and mature person. I’m very touched to hear that you’ve been carrying a torch for ever since we were children. Hence, I’m willing to give you a chance because you’re the only person in this world apart from my parents who dotes on and loves wholeheartedly. Since I have you, I ought to cherish you and give you a chance.”
Zhong Minhe felt bittersweet after hearing her words. “I’ll never hurt you, Xiaoxi.”
Long Xiaoxi smiled and said, “We’re so strange. How are we not feeling awkward at all? Do you still have work to do in the afternoon?”
“No. The temperatures are getting chilly. Would you like to co over to my place?”
“Sure. I don’t even know where you live now and how you’ve been. I mustn’t miss the chance to find out.”
He smiled at her and said, “I initially thought that you’ve changed a lot. However, you’re still the sa old Xiaoxi I know.”
“Yes, my mother has always said that I’m a leopard who can never change my sports.”
He burst into laughter, feeling thrilled to see her.
He could not take his eyes off her at all, and it seed like he could never get enough of her.
Since he could not drive or ride a bike, he could only get to and from work on foot. However, his workplace was only a stone’s throw away from his ho and required just a short, ten-minute walk.
Long Xiaoxi walked together with him, side by side.
They chatted with each other along the way.
She found out that he did not live with his family and was instead living by himself. He had a part-ti maid who would visit his ho to clean and tidy up the place regularly. He had never cooked before and would either order takeout or have his als in the studio with his colleagues.
He lived in a two-bedroom apartnt that was neat and had beautiful decor. It felt just like ho.
After scanning her surroundings, Long Xiaoxi said, “This is a nice place. I really like it.”
Zhong Minhe said, “It’s indeed a nice place, but it lacks a mistress who can cook.”
Long Xiaoxi teased, “What a sha, I can’t cook. I do know how to eat though.”
Zhong Minhe smiled and said, “Who are you kidding? I heard from Uncle and Auntie that you handle all the household chores when you were living overseas.”
“Seems like I can’t hide anything from you. Would you like to try the food that I make?”
“My pleasure.”
Long Xiaoxi took a look around the kitchen to see that it was well equipped with crockery, pots, and pans. However, the refrigerator was empty. “Shall we go to the grocery store to buy so ingredients?”
“Alright.”
Zhong Minhe recalled the happiest ti of his life when Long Xiaoxi accompanied him when they were children. Although he had lost his arms, she was still willing to befriend him and help him out whenever he could.
He was extrely surprised to see her today.
Zhong Minhe could not help but grin widely from ear to ear. Shopping with her leisurely at the supermarket was sothing that he had always yearned to do.
After cooking, eating, and chatting with him for a long while, she decided that it was ti to go ho. Hence, he hailed a taxi and sent her back to Wei Ni Estate in the evening.
“Would you like to go inside for a while?”
“Nah. Send my regards to Uncle and Auntie.”
She nodded with a smile and said, “Alright, the temperature is freezing. Hurry and get back inside the taxi. I’m going back in too.”
“Go ahead, I’ll leave after watching you go in.”
Long Xiaoxi refused. She opened the car door for him and closed it after he got inside. She then waved him goodbye and watched the car vanish out of sight gradually before going back ho.
Her father had given her a massive number of missed calls. Long Xiaoxi entered and said to Long Tianze, “Daddy, are you going to send your bodyguards to abduct if I had co ho any later?”
“No, I would have gone to look for you myself.”
Long Xiaoxi sat down beside him and said, “I went to look for Brother Minhe and we went to the supermarket to get so groceries, whip up a al, and had dinner together.”
“Minhe changed a lot too. Were you shocked to see him?”
“A little. However, I was more taken aback by what he said to .”
“What did he say?”
Long Xiaoxi leaned back against the couch and said, “Brother Minhe said that he had been carrying a torch for ever since we were children and that he had been waiting for to co ho. He asked for to give him a chance.”
“What!?! Really?” Long Tianze asked in disbelief.
“Of course. I’ve agreed to give him a chance.”
i Yangyang said in approval, “Apart from his missing arms, Minhe is a really good catch. He’s a hardworking and grateful child. He’s Xiaoxi’s childhood friend, and it’s only right that Xiaoxi gives him a chance. Besides, I can guarantee that he’ll dote on Xiaoxi and treat her very well.”
“How smart of Mommy. Brother Minhe has beco handso and now has an alluring voice.”
Long Tianze conceded, “I don’t have any objections as long as you’re happy. Daddy and Mommy have always respected your decisions. You just returned ho from abroad and you two should really interact more with each other. Just like your mother said, Minhe is a great kid. He’s trustworthy and reliable.”
Long Xiaoxi draped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on his cheek. “Daddy, I actually missed you the most when I was abroad.”
Beaming with joy, Long Tianze said, “You missed and yet you didn’t co ho to visit at all. You didn’t send any photos or videos of you at all. I wished I could bring you ho.”
“I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”
Long Tianze teased, “Look how upset your mother looks. She’s angry that you missed the most.”
Long Xiaoxi let go of Long Tianze and pecked i Yangyang. “I missed you and Brother so much too, Mommy. I really missed all of you. However, I forced myself not to think about you guys because I would get tempted to co ho.”
Long Tianze patted her hand and said, “Your hands have beco thinner too. My baby is all grown up.”
They continued to chat until ten o’clock at night.
Lying down on the soft and spacious bed, Long Xiaoxi closed her eyes and opened them again. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a long ti.
She lay in bed for an entire night without sleeping.
It began snowing at one o’clock in the morning.
She wrapped the blanket tightly around herself and leaned against the headboard.
