Chapter 215 [Irresistible Sweetness 014]

He frowned when he heard this, feeling a strange and inexplicable feeling. But he knew very well that he really only regarded Shu Tang as a friend, or rather, a younger sister that his grandmother had entrusted to him.

In addition, Shu Tang has a good personality and is talkative, so she is actually quite easy to get along with.

Moreover, Shu Tang seems to be a very opinionated person. She looks delicate, and she is indeed delicate, but she is not particularly troublesome or pretentious.

However, knowing that the two of them had such a connection and lived under the same roof, the old lady couldn't help but have some interesting thoughts.

As for the Shu family's thoughts, he had no idea and never even considered them.

I just thought it was the old lady's own idea.

"Grandma, please stop playing matchmaker and stop worrying about me," he said solemnly. "Once her passport is replaced, I will let her go back."

The old woman retorted, "What? You want to stay single for the rest of your life?"

Xiao Guxing remained silent.

He didn't know when he would be able to let go of that relationship, but at least until his heart was completely at peace, he wouldn't think about relationships.

So, he doesn't know if he'll remain single for the rest of his life.

They can't make any promises now.

"Are you really planning to never marry and become a monk?" The old lady raised her voice when she saw that he didn't say anything.

Xiao Guxing sighed, "Grandma, what I said to you that day was the truth. I can't guarantee you anything about this. Let's talk about it again in two years. Besides, I'm fine on my own now. I'm busy most of the time, and I have to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow. I don't have time to date."

Upon hearing this, the old lady paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You're going on a business trip. Will it be alright to leave Tangtang alone at home? She doesn't understand Russian."

"I'll talk to her about this when I get back. I'll be back in four or five days at most."

It took him a lot of effort to get the old lady to give up her idea of ​​acting as a matchmaker.

During the meal, he told Shu Tang that he was going to Norway the day after tomorrow, for about five days.

Shu Tang was momentarily dazed, then slowly nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"Tomorrow you'll come to the supermarket with me. Buy whatever you want. There are ingredients in the fridge. You can cook whatever you want to eat. If you don't want to cook, just order takeout using the landline in the living room."

"it is good."

Shu Tang nodded again and smiled sweetly, "I'll be waiting for you to come home."

Xiao Guxing paused in mid-air with his chopsticks, then looked up at her, his gaze immediately meeting her bright, sparkling eyes, as if he could see a boundless, shimmering sea within them.

The sea breeze is gentle and warm, just like her.

Her words were gentle and full of genuine emotion.

This is what he can see and hear.

He looked away, didn't say anything, finished his meal, and then put the dishes in the dishwasher.

"Don't paint tonight, take a rest," Xiao Guxing said as he saw her about to put her apron back on.

Shu Tang listened to the advice and nodded, "Okay, then we won't do it. After we paint the top part tomorrow, it needs to dry for a few days. That'll be a good time to draw the lines upstairs..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered, "Let's forget it. If we move this shelf up tomorrow, it will be difficult to move it down after the paint dries."

She can't take apart something this heavy, let alone move it!
So let's wait until Xiao Guxing comes back before we talk about it.

Playing for a few days isn't a bad idea; it's a good way to slow down the progress.

Such a perfectly legitimate reason, might as well take advantage of it.

Sure enough, Xiao Guxing said with a smile, "Then take a few days off and I'll help you move them when I get back. We'll do it one by one, and I won't rush you."

Shu Tang gave a haughty snort, "You can urge me to finish, but I won't listen. I have my own pace." Xiao Guxing raised an eyebrow, "Are you this assertive with other clients too?"

"Hmm... I'll consider what they say and decide based on the overall situation. My job isn't paid by the day, so very few people actually rush me." Shu Tang flicked her two braids, beaming with pride. "I usually get a lot more compliments."

Xiao Guxing smiled when he saw her excited and proud little expression.

The next day, Shu Tang painted for another afternoon, but made little progress. She was just there to kill time. The paint she had used in the past two days was still wet and she couldn't touch it. She didn't dare to be careless.

She almost fell off yesterday, which left her with some psychological trauma. She was still a little scared when she went up there.

Every step was taken with extreme caution, for fear of falling again.

But after staying up there for an hour, she forgot about it and still needed to use the restroom. So she came down and was too lazy to go again. She decided to wait two or three days until the paint dried.

On the day of his business trip, Xiao Guxing left at nine o'clock in the morning, pulling a small black suitcase and a briefcase.

Shu Tang saw him to the door, waving with a smile, "Bye-bye, have a safe journey."

Xiao Guxing nodded. "The weather has been nice these past few days. Don't stay cooped up at home all the time. Go out for a walk and get some sunshine."

"it is good."

"I am leaving."

"Ah."

"Call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

"Remember to be careful when you go up to paint."

Shu Tang glanced at him, tilted her head, and asked, "You can't let me go that much?"

Her eyes were filled with laughter, seemingly even brighter and more radiant than the sun in the sky.

This seemingly joking remark actually carried a hint of probing.

Xiao Guxing maintained a smile, seemingly not taking the words to heart, and treated it as a joke, but answered seriously, "Now that you're living in my house, I naturally have to be responsible for your personal safety."

Oh, responsibility!
Shu Tang's expression remained unchanged, but she felt a little disappointed.

Although the time was short, judging from Xiao Guxing's expression, he wasn't tempted at all.

Even someone as uncompromising as him is the hardest person to get into, and it's impossible to warm his heart.

"I'm not a three-year-old child, don't worry. Let's hurry up, or we'll miss our flight."

Xiao Guxing didn't see anything unusual on her face, nodded, and turned to get into the van that the driver had brought.

After he left, Shu Tang felt that the huge villa had become deserted. She was listless and not in high spirits during her two days of rest.

He was also worried about how to win over Xiao Guxing.

When has it ever been so difficult for her to pursue someone?!
She had just complained in the group chat when a friend chimed in: "You used to have a crush on someone? Who? I didn't know that. Shu Xiaotang, are you secretly up to something big behind our backs?"
"..."

Shu Tang helplessly explained in the group chat.

What's the point of chasing after him!

Shu Tang has been sending love letters since junior high school. When did she ever need to write love letters?
This was the first time she had ever seriously pursued someone.

Li Shu told her to be direct, saying that her current approach was too subtle, and that if it were her, she definitely wouldn't be able to tell either.

Another friend, Song Ting, chimed in, saying that her water was too lukewarm and wouldn't boil at all. She suggested turning up the heat to make him truly feel her pursuit, which would make him consider her.

After reading it, Shu Tang felt that it made some sense!
