Su Xiaomo stood baffled on the spot .
Damn it! Did he have to be like that?!
Pressing her hand to her tough girl’s chest, she sent An Xiaxia a message . “I’m hurt! Awww!”
At this moment, An Xiaxia had just landed in Yu City Airport . Behind her stood Sheng Yize .
Their eyes met accidentally and both looked away in embarrassment .
The Sheng family driver had long been waiting for them outside . After they got into the car, Sheng Yize instructed the driver to send An Xiaxia back home first .
An Xiaxia pretended to play with her phone and didn’t talk to him .
At the thought of that “boob-groping incident” the other night, An Xiaxia felt like drilling a hole in the ground, stuffing herself into it, and hiding there forever!
Bloody hell! That was so humiliating!
Her phone vibrated a few times . Tapping the screen, she saw that it was from Su Xiaomo . She replied with an emoji and the two chatted from thereon . They then agreed to have skewered meat together later .
The car stopped outside the An family home .
An Xiaxia covered her face with her hands and couldn’t get out quickly enough . Sheng Yize cleared his throat, but didn’t see her off at the door as he usually did .
The driver asked in confusion, “Young Master, aren’t you going to walk Miss An to the door?”
Sheng Yize cast him a stern look, which shushed the driver right away and made him shudder .
Young Master was so frightening today…
Sheng Yize leaned back in his seat and looked absentmindedly at the view outside . Various memories flashed through his mind, all of which were warm ones .
He then recalled the unbelievable softness he had touched that night and the skin behind his ears turned pink .
That girl… had really grown up .
He watched as An Xiaxia walked away, absorbed in his thoughts .
An Xiaxia greeted the rest of her family and went straight to the barbecue stall, ignoring what a long and tiring trip she had just had .
Su Xiaomo was grilling the meat while wiping away her tears with a tissue, which frightened An Xiaxia . She rushed to her side and shook her . “Momo, don’t be like this! Didn’t you promise me you’d never cry?! Didn’t you say you’d be as free as the wind?!”
Su Xiaomo rolled her eyes . “I got smoke in my eyes!”
An Xiaxia was embarrassed . On closer look, she saw that Su Xiaomo really wasn’t crying, so she let go of her .
The two chatted as they went through their meat . An Xiaxia told her about what had happened in the foreign country, while Su Xiaomo talked about her doomed fate with He Jiayu .
“Why did I have to fall for him? Xiaxia, it’s so painful to like someone,” Su Xiaomo said mournfully .
An Xiaxia fell silent . She didn’t even react when Su Xiaomo took her glossy chicken wing .
She didn’t want to see her best friend sad, but there was nothing she could do to help when it came to relationships .
“What exactly do you see in him?” An Xiaxia sighed .
Su Xiaomo sounded aggrieved . “He has a pretty face . ”
An Xiaxia gave her the finger . “You’re all about good looks!”
“I can say the same of you!”
The two glared at each other while they polished off a plate of meat each . Su Xiaomo then held An Xiaxia by her arm and announced fervently, “Come, let me show you a new world!”
An Xiaxia looked at the row of liquor bottles on the table and the men and women moving cheek-to-cheek on the dance floor; deafening rock-and-roll music filled her eyes . She said timidly, “We’re still minors and we shouldn’t be drinking…”
“Forget it! Tonight, we’re both eighteen!” Su Xiaomo handed her a bottle of beer . “Drink! Laugh and get drunk with me… I want to forget…”
An Xiaxia took a sip, but Su Xiaomo had gulped down a whole bottle .
Just then, the beer bottle fell out of Su Xiaomo’s hand .
An Xiaxia followed her gaze and saw He Jiayu on the dance floor . He had a girl in his arms…
