Qi Shenbai frowned and reached out to touch the rash, but that only made it even itchier.
Sighing softly, he took off his pajamas and changed into a turtleneck cashmere sweater. The collar of the sweater was just enough to cover the rash on his neck.
When he returned to his room with two cups of warm milk, Xu Jiaojiao had already chosen a movie and was sitting obediently on the sofa, waiting for him.
She was a little curious to see that he had changed clothes. “Are you very cold?”
Qi Shenbai let out an indistinct “Mm-hmm”.
“Then I’ll turn up the temperature!” Xu Jiaojiao said as she reached for the remote control.
Just as Qi Shenbai was about to turn her down, he heard her mutter softly, “It is kinda cold.” As a result, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
Xu Jiaojiao chose an artsy film that had just been released last month. The lines were very obscure, and the plot was trashy. It was overall just dizzyingly boring.
The hot room and his high-collared cashmere sweater made Qi Shenbai extremely uncomfortable, so he was not in the mood to watch the movie.
Halfway through the show, Xu Jiaojiao started yawning. She leaned against the couch and muttered softly, “What’s with this movie? I don’t understand it at all.”
Qi Shenbai turned to look at her under the dim light in the room. She was so sleepy that her eyelids started to flutter.
“Do you want to go to bed?”
Xu Jiaojiao peeled her eyelids open and nodded.
“Then go back to your room. We can stop watching the movie.”
“But 1 want to spend more time with you.”
This was their first Christmas Eve together, and she did not want it to end so hastily.
“It’s fine, sleep. I’ll carry you back to your room after you fall asleep.” Qi Shenbai could not bear to separate from her so quickly either.
Xu Jiaojiao looked up at him with a smile. “Are you giving me another sneak peek into my girlfriend rights?”
Qi Shenbai’s lips curled into a smile. “Yes, and you’ve unlocked another special privilege too. Do you want to try it out in advance?”
“What is it?”
“You get to sleep in your boyfriend’s arms.” He reached out and patted his shoulder.
Xu Jiaojiao covered her face in embarrassment. After giggling foolishly for a long time, she hurriedly replied, “Of course I wanna try!”
Qi Shenbai stretched out his arm and wrapped it around her shoulders. Xu Jiaojiao shyly leaned into his embrace. The faint woody fragrance on his body lingered at the tip of her nose, making her feel at ease.
Qi Shenbai glanced at the unconcealed excitement on her face and could not help but smile.
Xu Jiaojiao leaned in his arms with her eyes closed. Her soft voice rang in his ears, “I really like you, Qi Shenbai. I’m so happy to have you by my side.”
The large screen was showing a scene of the male and female protagonists hugging each other and crying bitterly. The intense voices did not drown out her soft and sweet voice.
Qi Shenbai’s chest trembled intensely. He felt so happy he was going to die.
His Adam’s apple bobbed silently. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was low. “Me too.”
‘I like you just as much, and I’m very, very happy to be here with you,’ he thought.
Xu Jiaojiao had long fallen asleep in his arms. The loud sounds from the movie meant that she had missed his confession once again.
Finally, Xu Jiaojiao recovered from her cold. Qi Shenbai stopped staying at home to watch her take her medicine every day, and he let her go back to school too.
Xu Jiaojiao heard that someone had dropped out of school. Although no one said exactly who it was, Xu Jiaojiao could roughly guess.
If Lu Huan wanted to ‘catch the adulterers in the act’, she definitely needed someone to help her lock Xu Jiaojiao and Mr. Sun in the room. As for how Mr. Sun found out who the culprit was, Xu Jiaojiao did not know and did not care.
In any case, the matter had already been resolved. She and Mr. Sun had not lost anything. Why waste her limited energy on these unrelated people and matters?
After experiencing what happened in that small town, the female students were much nicer to Xu Jiaojiao than before. However, they could not help but gossip about her relationship with Qi Shenbai.
The situation between her and Qi Shenbai was a little complicated. Xu Jiaojiao did not know how to explain it, and she did not want to lie, so she could only laugh it off.
A few boys who had a crush on her gave up completely. She was already taken, and her current partner was way too perfect. They stood no chance.
During the holidays, Su Luo asked Xu Jiaojiao out for a shopping trip. As the two of them ate, they caught each other up on recent events.
When she found out that Lu Huan had tried to frame Xu Jiaojiao, Su Luo was so angry that she wanted to slap that conniving witch. “The Lu family should buy a mirror! She has no right to lick the dirt of your shoes! Lu Huan’s face is so fake that Qi Shenbai wouldn’t look at her even if she was the last woman on earth!”
Xu Jiaojiao sighed helplessly. “Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that Lu Zhuo and I didn’t get married. Otherwise, I would be bickering with his family every day..”
