“Didn’t you use the casual ‘you’ before when we’re filming? You used it so naturally too . ” Han Zhuoling frowned . “Didn’t you say you forgave me?”
Shi Xiaoya quickly waved off his concern . “It’s really fine now, I just got used to it . Plus… probably seeing you being serious right now doesn’t help . You wore casual clothes during filming, unlike now when you’re all decked out in suit and leather . Seeing these just…”
Make one use honorifics, not daring to go overboard .
Han Zhuoling: “…”
He huffed . “Then don’t use the honorific ‘you’ anymore next time . It sounds so distant . ”
Hearing her use that word made him discomfited all over .
He spoke as if they were very close, Shi Xiaoya thought .
But she also couldn’t help thinking that her relationship with Han Zhuoling was probably better than others .
“Alright . ” Shi Xiaoya nodded .
Han Zhuoling then moved away . When Shi Xiaoya walked past him, she smiled up at him .
She’d barely walked two steps before Han Zhuoling called, “Wait . ”
Shi Xiaoya stopped and turned to look at him .
Han Zhuoling walked over with big steps . “I’ll send you up . ”
Shi Xiaoya looked at him in surprise . She wanted to say that there’s no need as her neighborhood was quite safe .
Even though she’d moved out to set up her own company, her family wouldn’t let her suffer by herself outside .
So they had bought her a flat in this neighborhood .
The amenities in this area were not bad, and the security was good as well . Strangers were not allowed in .
Her family would be assured while she lived by herself only if her safety was guaranteed at least .
Plus, her flat had direct elevator access .
Directly outside the lift was her home .
If Han Zhuoling sent her up, wouldn’t that mean…
Shi Xiaoya quickly rejected, “It’s alright, the security here’s exceptional . You’ve probably seen it when you entered . The security officer won’t let you in if you’re a stranger . Plus, I’m fine every time I go home by myself . ”
“That’s different . ” Han Zhuoling was extremely gentlemanly . “You can’t help it going home alone, but since I’m here today, I can’t let you go up alone . ”
Han Zhuoling frowned slightly . “Relax, I’ll just send you to your doorstep . I don’t have any other ideas . ”
Shi Xiaoya scratched her head, saying embarrassedly, “I wasn’t really thinking about that . If you put it that way, it would seem like I’m cautioning against you . ”
The latter half was mumbled, but Han Zhuoling managed to catch it .
Not only was he not upset, he even grinned .
He felt that she was too polite just now, and he didn’t like that at all .
Yet she actually sounded a little sulky just now; she had obviously relaxed once more around him .
How could he not be glad?
“Then let’s go . ” Han Zhuoling’s happiness laced his voice .
Unsure if she heard correctly, Shi Xiaoya tagged along behind Han Zhuoling without further questions .
Han Zhuoling pressed for the lift .
The lift was on the ground floor, so they needn’t wait before the doors opened .
Han Zhuoling went in with Shi Xiaoya, who took out her card to activate the lift before pressing for her floor .
Han Zhuoling watched silently from one side, reassured about the security here .
When the lift stopped and the doors opened, Han Zhuoling was stunned .
A wide corridor entered his sight .
Towards the left wall was a sturdy wooden stool, while a shoe cabinet was on the opposite side .
