Chapter 208 [Irresistible Sweetness 007] Everything he said... was not what she liked.

Xiao Guxing wasn't in a hurry; he sat beside her and watched her pass the test.

After about twenty minutes and two attempts, she finally managed to jump over it. It took her a few more minutes to successfully jump to level 29.

She breathed a sigh of relief, put down the handle, picked up the water glass on the table to go to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water, and turned around to find Xiao Guxing sitting there.

His expression was gentle, with a faint smile in his eyes.

The glasses on the bridge of his nose were still on.

That feeling of a refined scoundrel inexplicably made her heart skip a beat.

There is some imbalance.

"You... haven't gone upstairs to rest yet?" Shu Tang asked with a smile after a couple of awkward seconds.

"I want to see when you can get past this hurdle." Xiao Guxing raised an eyebrow. "You're pretty impressive, you only failed twice before you passed."

Shu Tang raised her index finger and shook it gently, "You didn't see the times I failed before."

"Failed many times?"

"That's right, most of the time was spent on this. Putting aside the earlier ones, the easiest ones to pass were levels 24 and 27."

As Shu Tang spoke, she walked towards the kitchen, "Would you like some water?"

"Need not."

Xiao Guxing got up from the sofa. "I was going to wash up and rest, but I heard noises downstairs, so I came down to check."

Shu Tang poured herself a glass of warm water, took a sip, and asked, "Do you usually go to bed early?"

"I guess so. Between 10:30 and 11:30."

What are your usual forms of entertainment?

"I read books, watch oral English videos and take exams. On weekends, I go to the gym, rock climbing, and boxing."

Shu Tang remained silent for a moment.

Ok.

Everything he said... was not to her liking.

She's terrible at sports.

Allergic to exercise.

Reading is out of the question; she gets a headache just looking at words.

"You should go to bed early too, don't stay up too late," Xiao Guxing said. "I'll take you to the hospital for another application of the medicine tomorrow morning."

"I'm not playing anymore, my back is killing me from sitting here," Shu Tang asked. "What time are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Nine o'clock. I also have a meeting tomorrow morning."

What time do you usually start work?

"Ten o'clock."

What time do you get off work in the afternoon?

"Four o'clock."

"No overtime?"

"My employees don't work overtime, but I, as the boss, do occasionally work overtime, and I also sometimes have social engagements in the evenings."

Shu Tang nodded. She always got to know him slowly through natural conversations.

"Then we'll have to get up early tomorrow. Let's go, I'll turn off the controller and the TV, and we'll go upstairs together."

Xiao Guxing went to help, and before he did, he turned off the living room lights.

Shu Tang walked to her bedroom door and said, "Get some rest, goodnight."

Xiao Guxing nodded, gently replied "Goodnight," and strode forward, his figure disappearing into the master bedroom at the end of the path.

Shu Tang didn't experience much jet lag here; she only felt it on the first two days, and then she didn't feel it anymore.

She quickly washed up, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep within ten minutes.

The next morning, she got up very early, before 7:30. She drew back the curtains; the sky had been overcast yesterday, and it had snowed for a long time. Today, it looked like the sun was going to come out. After washing up, she started to wonder what to wear and even checked the weather forecast.

It was indeed a sunny day, and the temperature was about five or six degrees higher than the previous two days.

But it was still cold.

So she took a short white down jacket, a light yellow cardigan sweater underneath, and apricot-colored fleece-lined wide-leg pants. Then she put on makeup and tied her hair into a bun.

When she went downstairs, there was already noise in the kitchen. She walked over, peeked out, and saw Xiao Guxing frying luncheon meat.

Two fried eggs are already on the plate.

The bread machine was also making a 'beep beep beep' sound.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Guxing turned around to get the bread slices from the top, and just then he came face to face with her.

"Good morning." Shu Tang smiled and raised her hand.

"Good morning." Xiao Guxing smiled. "You got up quite early today."

"Of course, knowing I had something important to do today, I definitely had to get up early." Shu Tang walked up to him, twirled around, and ran her hands in a wave-like motion across his chin. "Look, I even did my makeup today, doesn't it look good?"

Xiao Guxing simply nodded. "Then you can have this bread, okay?"

"OK." Shu Tang made a gesture.

"Just bake two more slices."

After Shu Tang helped bake the bread, she went to help him cut the purple cabbage, and her technique was quite skillful.

Xiao Guxing glanced at him twice. "You've studied cooking?"

"I haven't really studied it. I've just messed around with it when I was bored. It's the same with desserts. I'm only enthusiastic about many things for a short time. I just do it on a whim. I'll study it for a few days when I think of it, and then I'll put it down. When I think of it again, I'll practice it again."

So she knows quite a lot of things, but most of them are only half-baked.

It's because of her habit of being quick to act and quick to act that she got sick.

Xiao Guxing smiled and asked, "Then why do you like painting?"

"I think my love for drawing comes from my grandma. I used to watch her draw a lot when I was little and thought it was so beautiful. So she taught me, and I don't know how, but I just kept at it. My mom says that I can only sit still when I'm eating or drawing."

The two chatted like that, made breakfast, ate it together, and then went out together.

We arrived at the hospital just after nine o'clock. It only took her ten minutes to apply the medicine. Then, we drove her home and happened to run into a neighbor walking their child.

When the little boy saw him, he immediately ran over excitedly and gave him a high five. "Good morning, Uncle Flo."

"morning."

Xiao Guxing greeted them with a smile.

The neighbor's family consists of five people: a couple in their thirties, and three children, the youngest being only two years old. The child who just gave him a high-five was a seven-year-old boy, and there were also twin girls.

The girl was rather shy; she stood next to her mother and waved to him with a smile.

The male neighbor asked him who the pretty girl next to him was.

Xiao Guxing explained briefly, "Friend, you came here for tourism but encountered a bit of an accident and are staying here with me."

The two exchanged a few words, but Shu Tang couldn't understand Russian, so she could only maintain a smile.

Finally, after the male homeowner said something, Xiao Guxing hesitated for a moment with a smile, then replied with something before saying to her, "You can go in now, I'm going to the company."

"okay."

Shu Tang responded absentmindedly, wondering if she should learn Russian on her own.

It's actually quite unpleasant to not understand what others are saying.

Xiao Guxing stared at her for a while before saying, "They just asked me if I was interested in hosting a barbecue party tomorrow night."

"what?"

Shu Tang looked bewildered. "A barbecue party?"

Xiao Guxing nodded. "I've had friends host a few events here before, and several neighbors have come to join in the fun. They're probably thinking about barbecue and grilled meat."

"You seem to get along quite well with them."

“Yes, they are all quite nice and easy to talk to,” Xiao Guxing said. “Make a list of the materials you need as soon as possible. I’ll go to the Chinese supermarket this afternoon and buy the ingredients that are hard to find in regular supermarkets here.”
