Chapter 307: Don’t You Feel a Little Reluctant?
These words stunned Xue Xi.
When she came to the provision store and saw him dressed like this, she knew that Xiang Huai might be leaving. From the day she found out that he was the founder of the God of Fortune Group, she’d had a vague feeling.
Xiang Huai did not belong here.
He did not belong to this provision store.
He was not someone who could be trapped in a small provision store. However, as she had been busy studying recently, she’d gradually suppressed this matter.
Now, Xiang Huai had finally brought it up.
For some unknown reason, Xue Xi’s heart, which had just been relieved from holding hands, started to ache again.
She lowered her head in confusion and clutched her chest. Her reaction was a little slow as she asked, “Where are you going?”
Xiang Huai smiled. “The capital.”
The capital.
It was not too far. The last time Little Flame had driven her there, they had traveled for seven to eight hours. Yes, if they were to take a plane, they would probably arrive in an hour and a half. If it was a high-speed rail, it would take three hours…
Thinking about it this way, it was really not far.
“Oh,” Xue Xi replied.
Xiang Huai saw that her expression was cold and that she did not seem to be reluctant to part with him. He felt a little disappointed. He sighed and said, “I might be a little busy going forward. When you go to Huaxia University to report, I should be able to fetch you.”
Xue Xi: “Oh.”
Xiang Huai sighed. “Little kid, when I’m not around, you have to miss me.”
“Oh.”
“If you have something on, you can go look for Elder Gao. You have Canine Teeth’s WeChat, so you can also look for him. My signal might be a little bad, and I might not be able to answer the call. Also, if your heart hurts, take the medicine that Ji Silin gave you. That medicine doesn’t have any side effects, so you can just take it.”
“Okay.”
“Remember to eat on time in the morning.”
“Mhm.”
“…”
“…”
Both of them fell silent.
Time passed by slowly. Xue Xi glanced at the clock and realized that it was almost 8 AM. She said, “Then, shall I go to class?”
Xiang Huai: “…”
The man’s expression was unreadable, but deep down, he felt a deep sense of loss. He knew that the little kid did not have a heart, but he had never expected her to be so heartless.
He was about to leave, but the little kid actually…
He did not speak and Xue Xi walked out.
Seeing that she was about to leave the provision store, Xiang Huai suddenly said, “Little kid…”
Xue Xi turned around, her eyes still misty.
Xiang Huai suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly. “Don’t you feel a little reluctant?”
Xue Xi: “…”
She seemed to be a little lost and did not understand what it meant to be reluctant.
Xiang Huai was even more disappointed.
Seeing that the little kid was still staring at him, he felt that he was being too unreasonable. Was he still as resolute as before?
Xiang Huai waved his hand. “It’s fine. Go to class!”
After saying this, he turned around in a huff. Just as he was about to pack his things, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.
Xiang Huai was stunned.
He turned around abruptly and saw Xue Xi walking toward him. She then stopped twenty centimeters away from Xiang Huai.
Immediately, she suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled hard. Xiang Huai lowered his head without resisting. Just as he was about to ask her what she was doing, the little kid’s enlarged face suddenly appeared in front of him. Following that, his lips felt warm…
…
…
Xue Xi covered her slightly swollen lips and went to school.
Her cheeks were still a little red. She could not understand why she would suddenly do that… Could it be her biological needs after she became an adult?
Xue Xi entered the classroom in a daze.
Just as she entered, she received a message from Xiang Huai: “I’m leaving.”
These two simple words made her feel uncomfortable.
Xue Xi purposely ignored this discomfort and replied: “Okay.”
She put down her phone and started to study seriously.
During the students’ third year of high school, the teachers would give more homework every day. Everyone was engrossed in their studies and did not have any distractions.
The weather gradually became warm. Everyone in the room had also discarded their winter clothes and changed into summer school uniforms.
Xue Xi had always thought that she would not miss Xiang Huai, but at night, as she lay on the bed, she suddenly recalled the message Xiang Huai had given her.
She took out her phone and called Xiang Huai, at the urging of her innermost thoughts.
The phone rang and Xiang Huai’s voice sounded. “Little kid, sorry, I don’t have a signal for the time being. If you have something on, you can leave a message. I’ll reply when I have a signal.”
Xue Xi: “…”
She paused and replied, “It’s nothing.”
After hanging up, she recalled that she had dreamed of Xiang Huai before and closed her eyes.
It was a pity that the person with whom she had once casually fallen into a dream was delayed in the future tonight…
When she woke up the next day, Xue Xi washed up in a daze and went downstairs to get breakfast before getting in the car with the chatterbox.
Uncle Li parked the car in front of the provision store as usual. Xue Xi alighted with the English vocabulary on her back. It was only when she saw the provision store’s door close that she suddenly realized that Xiang Huai had left.
An inexplicable sense of loss surged in her heart.
She rummaged in her pocket and took out the key Xiang Huai had given her in the end. After entering, she sat at the dining table that they had once shared and quickly ate breakfast.
For some unknown reason, the bun today did not smell as good as before.
Mom must have added too little oil, right?
After having breakfast, Xue Xi cleaned the provision store and locked the door when she left. For some unknown reason, she suddenly recalled Xiang Huai from yesterday.
The man in the jacket had had a wild and domineering aura.
His top was tucked into his belt, and his slim-fit pants complemented his long and slender legs. The bottom of his pants was inside his leather boots, making him look even more formidable and tall.
He was wrapped in a black jacket, making his face look even colder.
Very handsome.
Xue Xi curled her lips and turned to walk toward the school.
However, just as she reached the school, she heard Qin Shuang say nervously, “Sister Xi, Brother Chen fainted!”
