Chapter 358

Lu Chengshen was stunned, almost frozen in place.

An overwhelming sense of excitement and exhilaration welled up from his heart, filling his entire being.

Lu Chengshen, who had been holding onto Lin Xiao's clothes in a half-hearted embrace, loosened and tightened his fists repeatedly until he finally gave up and made the embrace a real one.

Lu Chengshen slowly lowered his arm, glanced sideways, gently touched Lin Xiao's hair, and then lowered his head to bury his face in her shoulder.

He finally waited!

Feeling the man's embrace tighten, as if he wanted to pull the person in front of him into his arms.

In contrast, Lin Xiao was much calmer and more composed.

Lin Xiao stood there, sensing the man's emotional fluctuations, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

Only after the man in front of her calmed down did Lin Xiao finally pat him gently on the back and create some distance between them.

Lin Xiao let go of her hands and tried to take a step back, but the hands around her waist did not move away. Instead, they pulled her forward a step.

Lin Xiao sighed helplessly, and could only raise her hand to put it against the other person's chest, and glare at him.

"It's getting late, you should go back now."

"I started my flight yesterday afternoon and haven't had a chance to rest since, and..."

Lin Xiao tilted her head, glanced at the guard room next to her with its lights on, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her smiling eyes.

"Besides, the old man is still waiting over there, and it's not good to let him stay up all night."

Lu Chengshen's cold and handsome face rarely showed any smile.

"Tsk, after hearing what you said, how am I supposed to go back to sleep?"

Lin Xiao pursed her lips, unable to suppress the smile on her face. She could only look away and turn her head to look in the surrounding direction.

I don't know if you'll go back to sleep or not, but I'm definitely going back to sleep now.

After saying that, he took a step back without any politeness.

With her hands behind her back, she glanced at Lu Chengshen with a smug look on her face and then extended her right hand in front of him.

"Here, bring me my luggage."

Lu Chengshen looked helpless and could only slap the thing in his hand into the other person's hand.

However, instead of moving his right hand away after striking down, he tightened his grip and pulled the other person's hand into his palm.

The girl's hands were originally a size smaller than his.

"Okay, you get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

He squeezed the other person's hand for a moment before reluctantly letting go.

Lin Xiao awkwardly rubbed her fingertips together before running into the gate of Xihai Zoo without looking back.

Watching the other person disappear from sight, Lu Chengshen leaned against the car, a slight smile playing on his lips, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Then he turned around and got into the car next to him.

Lu Chengshen wasn't the only one overjoyed.

Lin Xiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she recalled the way Lu Chengshen had stared intently at her earlier, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her face.

Even when she walks, her belt adds a touch of lively hopping.

Chu Lian, who had crawled out in the middle of the night to wait for them to open the door, stood outside the guardhouse and looked at Lin Xiao's smiling face with amazement.

"It's good to be young."

Lin Xiao paused subconsciously for a moment, then, as if nothing had happened, carrying the things in her hands, she walked up to Chu Lian in a light voice.

"Teacher Chu, I'm back."

Chu Lian glanced at the other person leisurely, his expression full of profound meaning.

"Alright, alright, you've been dawdling at the door for so long, I've had enough."

"Go back and rest quickly."

Seeing the old man's obviously teasing tone, Lin Xiao hesitated, then just snorted and quickly turned to walk towards her dormitory.

Watching the other person's cheerful steps, Chu Lian shook his head helplessly, but the smile on his face never faded.

This girl. Lin Xiao barely slept all night. She lay down on the bed and slept soundly for days.

When I opened my eyes, I looked at the gray sky outside and my mind was a little blank.

I thought it was just dawn.

I thought to myself, she clearly slept for quite a long time, so why isn't it dawn yet?
She blinked in confusion, then threw herself back onto the bed, pulled the covers over her head, and prepared to go back to sleep.

Just then, the door was opened.

Lin Xiao looked up.

Because the room was too dark, she could only make out a figure through the light shining in from the doorway.

Lin Xiao's mind, still foggy from sleep, hadn't had time to process what she was saying when she was about to speak.

Then I felt a body emanating cold air suddenly pounce on me.

Then I heard a soft sobbing sound.

My previously muddled mind suddenly cleared up.

Lin Xiao gently patted the person who was leaning against her shoulder, and her voice was tinged with worry.

"orange?"

She spoke tentatively.

Feng Cheng sobbed as she replied, "Sister Xiao, I'm sorry! If I hadn't been so careless, you wouldn't have been taken away."

Lin Xiao understood everything the other person said.
It seems that this girl has been blaming herself all this time.

Lin Xiao chuckled and patted the person nestled in her arms, offering words of comfort, "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with you?"

"This was my own choice, so how can you blame me?"

Seeing Chengzi crying incessantly, Lin Xiao felt somewhat at a loss.

Finally, having no other choice, Lin Xiao simply gritted her teeth and pretended to be miserable, feigning grievance.

"Orange, I haven't eaten anything since I boarded the plane yesterday afternoon. Shall we eat something first?"

Chengzi, feeling embarrassed, wiped away her tears and slowly sat up straight.

Her voice was trembling as she spoke, "Sister Xiao, I'm sorry! I forgot, I'll go get you something to eat now."

Seeing that he was preparing to serve her diligently, Lin Xiao quickly raised her hand to stop him.

"My leg is fine, I can get down by myself."

Although Orange strongly disagreed, she still nodded reluctantly, "Alright then."

After changing her clothes and walking out of the room, Lin Xiao realized that she had actually slept until dark.

She stretched at the doorway, just about to find a place to get something to eat, when she looked up and saw Chu Lian and Lu Chengshen appear out of nowhere.

The two people walked slowly in this direction, one after the other.

Upon seeing Lu Chengshen, Lin Xiao subconsciously recalled their conversation outside the zoo that morning, and her half-finished yawn was quickly stopped.

She cleared her throat, slowly withdrew her raised arm, and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Why are you still here so late?"

Chu Lian looked at Lin Xiao and began to complain without any politeness.

"This guy is coming tomorrow morning, and he's been dawdling and refusing to leave, wasting a pot of my good tea."

Lu Chengshen clicked his tongue lightly, "How can this be called a waste?"

At this moment, Chengzi's mind was completely focused on Lin Xiao, and she didn't pay any attention to what they were saying.

Seeing Lin Xiao standing there being stopped, she frowned somewhat reluctantly.

"Sister Xiao, aren't you hungry? Let's go get something to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two men opposite him looked up and asked in unison.

"You are hungry?"

"hungry?"

orange:???
Although I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, for some reason, I just feel like their attitude... seems a little strange?
