Chapter 545: Ah, in the end, who is flirting with whom!

Xia Chu’s eyes curved, "Yeah, we really are fated."

Seeing her like this, a hint of laughter leaked from Huo Shiqian’s eyes.

And when Xia Chu saw Huo Shiqian’s barely emerging smile, his handsome face instantly shone as bright as spring blossoms, and she couldn’t help but praise, "Brother Shiqian, you should smile more, you look so handsome when you do!"

Upon hearing this, the smile in Huo Shiqian’s eyes deepened as he shook his head helplessly, "Such a tease."

Xia Chu blinked, her eyes forming crescents, "That’s not teasing, I’m serious."

She deliberately tilted her head, sizing him up, "Our Brother Shiqian is so good-looking, it makes me worry!"

"You see... even the burly Guo Jiacheng is ’chasing’ after you, really, tsk tsk tsk!"

Huo Shiqian: ...

Xia Chu’s smile beamed as she watched him, thinking: Now this is the real teasing.

However, just as she was enjoying her fun, suddenly she was pulled into Huo Shiqian’s embrace.

She crashed against Huo Shiqian’s sturdy chest.

Looking up, she caught sight of Huo Shiqian leaning down, his warm lips brushing her cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Since you think I’m good, then let’s get married right away, how about that?" Huo Shiqian’s deep voice softly suggested.

The warm breath of Uncle Liberation Army on Xia Chu’s face.

She could see his long eyelashes, deep-set eyes, high-bridged nose, lips that were just the right thickness, and his chiseled jaw...

Swallowing, Xia Chu could clearly hear her own heart pounding "thump thump."

As well as Huo Shiqian’s heartbeat, Huo Shiqian’s breathing...

But she was wrong, she vowed never to tease Uncle Jun again.

Otherwise, she feared that she would be the first one to give in!

"Ahem." Xia Chu blinked and cautiously said, "We’re outside, be careful or soon someone might, um, report us for public indecency."

Huo Shiqian frowned slightly, "So what if they report us?"

Obviously, he didn’t think he’d done anything wrong and was rather forthright.

Xia Chu quickly responded with a slight smile, "I know, an upright person doesn’t fear a crooked shadow, our interactions are normal, and we shouldn’t be afraid."

"But think about what happened at Kyoto University?" Xia Chu slightly raised her voice, "You surely don’t want every meeting with me to end with a trip to the Police Station, do you?"

Huo Shiqian: ...

In the end, he sighed and let go of her, "Chuyi, graduate quickly."

Hearing this, Xia Chu’s smile deepened, "Mhm, okay."

Huo Shiqian shook his head, taking it as a joke.

Xia Chu, however, was silently thinking: After returning, she would have a serious talk with Professor Bao to see if she could complete all her credits in the shortest time possible and graduate early.

After wandering the streets for a while, the two returned to the guesthouse and said their goodbyes.

The next morning, Xia Chu took Huo Shiqian to visit her Master and his wife.

"You’re Bao Jiaye’s nephew?" Upon seeing Huo Shiqian, the Master’s wife sized him up, her eyes flickered, wondering about something.

Huo Shiqian nodded, "Yes, Master."

At this, the Master’s wife paused, then chuckled, "A woman leads and the man follows, planning to tail after Chuyi, this lass, are you?"

In the face of Gu Xiu Fang’s teasing, Huo Shiqian was unflustered, "It’s just a name, Chuyi and I don’t make distinctions between each other."
