Qi Shenbai looked at her calmly. “Are you feeling unwell? Drink this honey water.”
Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. “I’m feeling fine.” Then, she obediently accepted the cup and took a small sip. “Thank you.”
Qi Shenbai found her reaction a little strange. Instead of leaving, he sat by her bed and sized her up with his deep eyes. “Are you really not feeling alright?” “Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao raised her head. Her blank eyes met his as she slowly shook her head. “I’m okay, really.”
Qi Shenbai nodded and lowered his eyes without saying a word.
Xu Jiaojiao stared at the honey water in her hand in a daze, but her heart was in a panic. What did he say last night?
No matter how hard she tried, she could not remember the contents of their conversation.
Qi Shenbai watched her frown without saying a word. There were many expressions on her face. One moment she was frustrated, the next moment she was regretful, and the moment after that, she was faintly happy.
He could not tell what was going on in the little girl’s mind, but his intuition told him that her emotional fluctuations were related to him. That cheered him up greatly.
Xu Jiaojiao drank all the honey in her cup, but she still could not remember what happened last night. As a result, she was unsure of Qi Shenbai’s attitude. After much consideration, she decided to ask again, “Last night, you allowed me to pursue you, right?”
Qi Shenbai was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that she had forgotten everything that happened after that.
When Xu Jiaojiao saw that he did not answer, she immediately frowned and said with a serious expression, “Don’t even think about regretting it. You definitely agreed! I remember everything clearly!”
“What do you mean you remember everything clearly?” Qi Shenbai was amused by her serious attitude. She had drunk herself into oblivion, and now she was still pretending in front of him.
Xu Jiaojiao’s face turned red and her heart raced. She clasped her hands together and whispered, “You hugged me and even kissed me.”
Qi Shenbai raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that she had not forgotten everything that had happened yesterday. She still remembered what had happened before the kiss.
“Since you’ve kissed me, it means that you’ve agreed to let me pursue you.” Xu Jiaojiao mustered up her courage and looked up at him with sparkling eyes. “You can’t go back on your word.”
Qi Shenbai could not help but laugh. Why did she think that his kiss meant that he allowed her to pursue him, and not that he directly agreed to date her?
Rubbing his temples with his well-defined fingers, he repeated the question from last night. “How are you going to pursue me?”
Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips. “1 don’t have a specific plan yet, but I’ll definitely pursue you seriously. Don’t worry.”
Qi Shenbai was speechless.”…”
Xu Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at him. Her clean face was brimming with a happy and brilliant smile.
Qi Shenbai shook his head helplessly. Forget it, forget it. As long as she was happy.
“Let’s have breakfast together.”
Xu Jiaojiao nodded. As she watched him turn around and leave, she suddenly thought of something. “Wait, who helped me change…”
She was too embarrassed to ask further.
Qi Shenbai paused and turned to look at her, in no hurry to answer.
Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
No way. Seriously? Did he really change her clothes?!
Seeing her panic like a frightened rabbit, Qi Shenbai could not bear to continue teasing her. His thin lips moved slightly. “The housekeeper changed them for you. Don’t forget to thank her.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Xu Jiaojiao understood and finally heaved a sigh of relief. After that, though, she could not help but giggle.
After school that night, Xu Jiaojiao packed her bag and sent Su Luo a WeChat message, inviting her to a dessert shop for cupcakes.
She had just gotten last month’s royalties, so she naturally had to treat her best friend to a meal.
A long time passed after she sent the message, but there was no response from Su Luo. Xu Jiaojiao called her directly and waited for a while before the call went through. Su Luo’s voice was weak. “Jiaojiao…”
Xu Jiaojiao could immediately tell that something was wrong with her voice. “Luoluo, are you feeling unwell?”
“It’s just a minor cold. It’s not a big problem. I’ll be fine after resting for two days,” Su Luo said in a muffled voice.
“Then I’ll visit you in a while. Have you taken your temperature? Do you need me to buy you fever medicine?”
“No, I don’t have a fever. But you shouldn’t come over. What if I infect you?” Su Luo coughed a few times on the other end of the phone. Her voice was also very nasal.
“I’m perfectly healthy. Don’t worry, 1 won’t catch anything,” Xu Jiaojiao promised as she patted her chest on the other end of the phone. However, she had forgotten that Su Luo could not see this at all. “Don’t reject me. How can I not go and visit you when you’re sick?”
She hung up without waiting for Su Luo’s reply.
After leaving the school, Xu Jiaojiao went to the pharmacy to buy some common cold medicine. Then, she went to the supermarket to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, bringing them along with her..
