After they had finished kissing, Huo Shiqian straightened her bangs for her, opened the door, and sent Xia Chuyi out.
"Be good, wait for me, Iâll change my clothes," Huo Shiqian said indifferently. "Once Iâve changed, weâll go to eat together."
"..."
Xia Chuyi stood at the doorway, leaning against the wall and kicking at the floor, thinking: Why do I feel like Iâve been used and discarded?
She looked down at her clothes and couldnât help but chuckle softly.
Luckily she had worn this outfit today, and it counted as a dazzling entrance!
However, she wondered if Uncle Liberation Army had noticed how good-looking she was dressed today?
Xia Chuyi returned to her room, fussed with her hair, and spruced herself up a bit before she heard someone knock on the door.
When Xia Chuyi opened the door, standing outside was Huo Shiqian, now dressed in an even fresher set of casual clothes.
White short-sleeved ascetic shirt, black trousers...
"Brother Shi Qian, you look so handsome in this outfit!" Xia Chuyiâs eyes brightened as she couldnât help but exclaim.
The corners of Huo Shiqianâs mouth lifted slightly as he reached out and touched Xia Chuyiâs head.
"Letâs go," Huo Shiqian took her hand.
Xia Chuyi blinked, then blinked again, without moving her feet.
Huo Shiqian looked at her with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.
"Brother Shi Qian, havenât you noticed something different about me today compared to before?" Xia Chuyi asked expectantly.
Huo Shiqian looked at her closely, his brows furrowing, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"If youâre not well, we donât have to go out," Huo Shiqian said seriously.
Xia Chuyi: ...
"No, Brother Shi Qian, Iâm asking if I look good today?" Xia Chuyi asked directly.
"You look good," replied Huo Shiqian without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyiâs face lit up with joy: "Really? I specially picked out todayâs clothes!"
After hearing her words, Huo Shiqian glanced at her again and said, "Hmm, not bad, quite beautiful, just like the ones before."
The first half of Uncle Liberation Armyâs sentence made Xia Chuyi somewhat delighted, but the second half...
Xia Chuyi couldnât help but pout.
Seeing this, Huo Shiqian gave her another look, his brows slightly furrowing as he said, "Chuyi, I truly didnât notice whatâs different about todayâs clothes."
"In my memory, every time I see you, youâre exceptionally beautiful."
"This time is no exception."
Huo Shiqian was extremely serious when he spoke.
Xia Chuyi continued to pout.
Yet, the smile tugging at her lips couldnât be concealed, and her crescent eyes shone with her happiness.
"Cough, cough, Brother Shi Qian, letâs go eat!" Xia Chuyi said excitedly.
However, as soon as the two went downstairs and walked into the hall, they saw a figure dash towards them as fast as lightning, rushing over with enthusiasm.
"Huo Shiqian, youâre finally here!" The newcomerâs voice was as enthusiastic as one could be.
It was Guo Jiacheng.
When Guo Jiacheng reached them, he barely managed to stop, his eyes excitedly looking at Huo Shiqian, "Brother, when are we going to have a match?"
"If you win, all the favors Iâve done for your wife and the money Iâve spent will be wiped clean!"
"How about that? Fair enough, right?"
Xia Chuyi: ...
Where did Guo Jiacheng come from?
In the few days she had been here, she had not seen him once.
Xiao Zhen had mentioned that Guo Jiacheng was busy with preparations for inviting over for the competition venue.
But why was it that as soon as Uncle Liberation Army arrived, Guo Jiacheng wasnât busy anymore?
Xia Chuyiâs eyes formed a crescent moon shape, she turned her head and said to Huo Shiqian with a smile, "Yeah, Guo Commander has âhelpedâ me a lot!"
