“Hey . ” Jesse had changed and was waiting at the counter with a beer in his hand . He saw Xin Yanting and he beckoned to her .
Xin Yanting raised her eyebrows and asked, “How do I look in this swimsuit?”
Jesse lavished generous praises . “Very sexy and attractive . ”
Xin Yanting curled her lips in satisfaction before she glanced at the staff . “I want the herbal hot spring for nourishment . ”
There were public hot springs available here and private ones where the patrons specify the herbs they want .
The staff nodded . “Please hold on . ”
Xin Yanting quipped, “And two glasses of orange juice . ”
Jesse glanced at her and added, “I don’t want…”
Xin Yanting glanced askew at him . “It’s not for you . It’s for me to replenish vitamin C . ”
“Haha…” Jesse laughed, amused .
But his eyes were swirling with complex emotions .
“Xuxu!”
Xuxu had just bid Qi Lei goodbye and she turned towards her car . Suddenly, someone called her name .
A pleasant and familiar voice .
She spun around in surprise when she saw the towering figure approaching her . “Ah Heng! Why are you here?”
Jiang Zhuoheng hastened his footsteps towards Xuxu . He beamed brightly . “I took a spin around the vicinity . ”
“Oh…” Xuxu pressed her lips . “It’s so late . ”
When her grandfather was still around, she knew that he dropped by often . To think that her grandfather was no longer around, he would still come here often .
Perhaps it had become his habit .
“Yeah . ” Jiang Zhuoheng nodded, his smile unwavering . “Why are you here at this time?”
Xuxu raised her hand to show him a bag of medical ointment . She replied, “Yan Rusheng sprained his waist . So I came to get some ointment for him . Qi Lei just made dinner and I couldn’t resist his cooking . So, I stayed for dinner . ”
Jiang Zhuoheng asked, looking concerned . “How did he sprain his waist? Is it serious?”
“Ahem . ” Xuxu dismissed his worries with her hands . “Nothing serious . ”
Fortunately, it was dark and the lights were dim . He couldn’t see her blushing .
She glanced at Jiang Zhuoheng to steer the conversation away . “It’s cold at night . Why didn’t you wear something warmer?”
Jiang Zhuoheng bent to peer at his clothes and he shook his head . “I’m fine . I don’t feel cold . ”
He only had a shirt on and left his coat in the car . When he caught a glimpse of Xuxu from a distance talking to Qi Lei, he got off too hastily to remember his coat .
They stood across from each other on the roadside . Both of them didn’t have the intention of parting even if they met by coincidence .
After several quiet moments, Xuxu took out her phone to check the time . It was almost ten .
She contemplated for a moment before asking Jiang Zhuoheng . “Qi Lei’s chess skills are on par with my grandfather . Do you want to play with him?”
“Sure . ” Jiang Zhuoheng nodded curtly . His heart, which he usually had a good rein over, began to pound .
He wore a gentle smile .
“Let’s go then . ”
Xuxu turned around to walk ahead .
Jiang Zhuoheng trailed behind her after she stepped forward . He seemed nonchalant and casual, but deep down, he couldn’t bear to walk so quickly .
He still treasured how he still had the chance to watch her from afar and to be near her .
“Why are you so late?”
After accompanying Jiang Zhuoheng and Qi Lei for two rounds of chess, Wen Xuxu reached home before midnight . She was afraid that Yan Rusheng would be asleep, so she treaded softly across the room .
But a pair of alert-looking eyes were staring at her . He questioned her when she entered .
