Chapter 204 [Irresistible Sweetness 003] A Guaranteed Win

“I don’t recommend you buy it in Moscow. It’s better to buy it back home. The versions are different, and you don’t understand Russian,” Xiao Guxing pondered. “If it’s inconvenient for you, or if you’re bored, I have a spare Android phone and a tablet at home that you can use.”

"really?"

"Okay." Xiao Guxing nodded. "I'll go up and get it."

"I'll go up with you..." Shu Tang felt that this statement was easy to misunderstand, so she explained it again solemnly, "What I mean is... I'm going up anyway, and I want to lie on the bed."

In fact, Xiao Guxing didn't misunderstand. He just paused when she explained it again, and he understood what she meant. He smiled, said nothing, and took her arm to go upstairs.

"wait for me a while."

"it is good."

Shu Tang leaned against the wall by the door, holding the long down jacket in her hands. Her gaze swept over the white wall at the end of the corridor and lingered there until Xiao Gu walked over, at which point she looked away.

"The phone is about 90% new. I bought it last year and used it as a temporary phone. I've used it for less than a month. It has a SIM card and all the apps I usually use. You can download anything else you need. Here's the charger."

Shu Tang accepted it with both hands, "Thank you, it's already very good."

The phone is powered on, the screen saver is a picture of a seaside city, and the battery is only 16%.

"This tablet is for my personal use, and there aren't many apps on it. You can download whatever you like. The password is 220658."

"it is good."

"Then I'll go first."

"Oh...brother..."

Xiao Guxing stopped in his tracks at her soft, sweet "brother," turned around to look at her, and pursed his lips. "Just call me Xiao Guxing."

"Wouldn't that seem too formal?" Shu Tang blinked. "How about... I call you Gu Xing, or... A Xing?"

It's definitely not unfamiliar anymore.

But it also seems too intimate.

However, Xiao Guxing didn't dwell too much on the form of address. "Is there anything else?"

"Can I add you on WeChat? It'll be easy to contact you if anything comes up." Shu Tang said this frankly, without any hesitation or affectation.

“My phone number should be in my contacts…” Xiao Guxing thought for a moment, “Never mind, let’s add each other as friends.”

Shu Tang quickly opened WeChat and logged into her account. Since it was a new phone, she had lost her previous phone number and couldn't verify it, so she had to choose email verification.

"Logging into the new phone is a bit troublesome, please wait for me a moment." While waiting, she did not forget to comfort Xiao Guxing.

Xiao Guxing nodded. "No rush, I still have some time. Are you alright standing like this?"

"fine."

After waiting for about two more minutes, the verification was finally successful. I logged into WeChat and the first thing I checked was my balance. I even counted it blankly, "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... Oh, it's not short."

This money was transferred to her by her sister-in-law before she went out to play, telling her not to be stingy with her money while she was away.

As the youngest child in her family, Shu Tang was pampered from childhood to adulthood.

She used to be pampered by her two parents and two older brothers. Later, after her two older brothers got married, she was pampered by her two sisters-in-law.

Xiao Guxing held out his WeChat QR code to her, and she quickly scanned it to add him. "Okay."

"Um... there shouldn't be anything on your phone that I can't see, or any software you're using, right?"

Seeing her cautious expression, Xiao Guxing smiled and shook his head, "No. You can use it without worry."

Shu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Okay, I'm leaving. Message me if you need anything." Xiao Guxing glanced at the girl's cartoon profile picture and name, accepted the request, didn't add a note, put away his phone, and left.

As Shu Tang turned to go inside, she noticed the white wall at the far end.

It might be due to an occupational hazard.

She felt that painting a relief on this wall, in line with the surrounding decor, would be very fitting and appropriate.

The corridor is just sitting there empty, without any decorations, and it doesn't feel full at all.

Forget it, I'm tired of standing, I'll go back and lie down.

She carried her clothes, phone, and tablet back to her room. First, she charged her phone and installed essential apps like Alipay before making a video call back to her parents.

Shu Yang and her mother were completely relieved to see that she was safe and sound.

Shu Yang asked, "It's good that you're alright. Losing money isn't a lot, and you can get a replacement passport. How's your leg now? Is it serious?"

"Xiao Guxing took me to the hospital this morning to apply medicine, and I'm much better now."

Shu's mother asked anxiously, "Are you living with Xiao Guxing now?"

“Yes, he got me out of the police station last night,”

Shu's mother then asked another question, "What do you think of him?"

Shu Tang replied honestly, "He's great. He's tall and handsome, has a good job, is patient, and seems to have a good temper. Most importantly, he's a good cook. He cooked me a bowl of noodles this morning, and it was delicious."

Shu's mother knew that this girl would only ever judge people based on that.

She's obsessed with appearances.

"After all, he's your father's teacher's grandson, so his character can't be too bad." Shu's mother was also glad that the girl was on vacation in Moscow. With this kind of thing happening, Xiao Guxing was there to help out.

otherwise……

She didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

"Mom, you can't even imagine what kind of fate it is. The day I came to Moscow, I was on the same flight as him. He was sitting across from me. I thought he was handsome and even greeted him. I never expected that he was Xiao Guxing. We actually met again in a foreign country."

Shu's mother warned, "Stop looking so infatuated! Don't you dare do anything reckless!"

"He's a young and strong man, and I'm a weak woman. How could I possibly do anything to him? Could I force myself on him? I'd like to, but unfortunately, I can't do it!"

Shu's mother was amused by her words, "Stop acting silly in front of people! Behave yourself! Don't embarrass your parents!"

Shu Tang wrinkled her nose and snorted, "No way! I'm being reserved!"

Shu Yang was at his wits' end with his daughter. He shook his head helplessly, then remembered to ask, "By the way, did you log into WeChat using Gu Xing's phone?"

"I guess so. But it was just a spare phone he wasn't using. He was worried I'd get bored, and since he can't be home every day, he gave me a tablet to keep me entertained."

Upon hearing this, Shu's mother became even more satisfied with Xiao Guxing. "Guxing is so thoughtful and considerate. Tangtang, they say that those who are near the water get the moon first. If you like him, hurry up and win him over."

"I guarantee it will be taken care of, don't worry."

Shu Tang made a solemn vow.

Her parents are open-minded and have always treated her like a friend since she was a child, so Shu Tang is willing to share everything with them no matter what happens.

Her parents also give her the positive feedback she wants, or emotional value.

After a half-hour video call with them, Shu Tang felt sleepy, said hello, hung up, and went to sleep.

When she woke up again, it was already dark outside, only 4:30. The snow had stopped. Shu Tang got up, washed her face, took her tablet, downloaded a drawing app, and started to pass the time.
