Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 386 - 384: It’s Getting Serious, Seeing the Lady Boss Buying Groceries

Chapter 386: Chapter 384: It’s Getting Serious, Seeing the Lady Boss Buying Groceries

Xue Yang took several deep breaths, barely suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

He had just turned his head when a strong, milky scent hit his nose, followed immediately by a peculiar, jelly-like sensation on his lips.

Xue Yang froze.

This Xiao Naimao... she’s far too bold when she’s drunk.

Just as Xue Yang’s hand was about to rest on her slender waist, the sensation suddenly withdrew.

The person before him gave him a silly grin. "This tastes even better."

"Xiao Naimao, have you considered the consequences of doing this?"

Lin Xi pressed a finger to Xue Yang’s lips and mumbled, "What consequences? Are they delicious? Is this more delicious, or are the consequences?"

At a time like this, if I could still hold back, I would really have to question if there was something wrong with me.

The next second, he wrapped his arms around her. But just as he drew her close, he heard the faint sound of even breathing.

Great. In the past, every time we reached a critical moment, I was the one who feigned sleep to escape. This time, it’s Xiao Naimao’s turn.

Xue Yang extended his forefinger and forcefully poked her soft cheek. This Xiao Naimao, getting me all worked up only to fall sound asleep herself.

He carried Lin Xi back to the bed, tucked her in, and went into the bathroom for a cold shower.

When he came out, however, Lin Xi had apparently gotten hot and had pulled her clothes into disarray, as if someone had...

Xue Yang’s gaze tightened. Great. That cold shower was a complete waste.

Before long, the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom once more.

It wasn’t until nearly dawn that Xue Yang finally managed to fall asleep.

「The next day」

Lin Xi woke up with a splitting headache.

She clutched her head and glanced drowsily beside her to see Xue Yang sleeping soundly.

Leaning closer, she could clearly see the dark circles under his eyes.

A pang of heartache shot through her.

Did he stay up all night taking care of me?

She got up gingerly, went to the guest bathroom for a refreshing shower, and changed into clean clothes. Then she put both of their clothes in the washing machine before heading to the kitchen. The pot Xue Yang had used to warm milk for her the night before was still there. She washed it without a second thought.

It was clearly too late for breakfast, so she decided to prepare lunch instead.

A quick look in the fridge revealed no fresh ingredients. Lin Xi changed into some casual clothes and was about to head downstairs when she opened the door to find Si Wen about to knock.

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback. "Si Wen? What are you doing here?"

"I couldn’t reach you on your phone, and I couldn’t reach your boyfriend either, so I had to come over. What’s up with you?"

Si Wen leaned in and sniffed. "You were drinking last night!"

Lin Xi lifted her arm and sniffed it vigorously. "You can still smell it after I took a shower?"

"It’s more obvious when you talk. How much did you have?" Si Wen frowned. "You never used to drink, right?"

What’s with Xue Yang? Lin Xi is still so young, yet he let her drink?

Lin Xi held up two fingers. "Just two glasses."

"Why were you drinking?"

"Xue Yang had a company dinner last night, and I drank one for him. With my own, that made two."

"Xue Yang actually let a girl take a drink for him? Where is he? I’m going to kill him," Si Wen said, preparing to charge inside.

Lin Xi quickly grabbed her. "Hey, Si Wen, don’t be rash! I only drank for him because he can’t drink. He didn’t want me to at first, but then one of his employees made a toast to us, so I finished it."

Si Wen rolled her eyes. "You and your damned, love-addled brain."

"Anyway," Lin Xi said, gesturing toward the doorway, "are you going to make me stand here and chat all day? I was about to go buy groceries. Want to come?"

"Even if I do, I should put my things down first, right?" Si Wen asked, hoisting the bags she was carrying.

Only then did Lin Xi notice them. "What did you bring?"

"Snacks."

Si Wen brought the snacks inside, set them on the table, and then returned to the doorway.

"Let’s go buy groceries."

Lin Xi smiled. "Okay, let’s go."

The two were no strangers to grocery shopping, navigating the market with practiced ease.

"Strange. Am I seeing things, or did I wake up too fast? I could have sworn I just saw the Lady Boss buying vegetables at the market."

Cui Hao walked closer and realized it really was her. The world suddenly felt surreal.

"Lady Boss, is that really you?"

Lin Xi and Si Wen had just finished their shopping and were heading home when they saw someone approaching. Lin Xi recognized him immediately.

"Si Wen, this is Xue Yang’s good friend, Cui Hao. Cui Hao, this is my bestie, Si Wen."

Si Wen... Could it be her, from the Si Family? The only person who could be best friends with the young miss of the Lin Corporation would have to be the young miss from the Si Family.

Cui Hao’s eyes widened. "He-hello."

"We’re done shopping, so we’ll be heading back now," Lin Xi said.

"Hey, Lady Boss, where’s the Boss?"

"Oh, he’s still sleeping. I need to hurry back and cook before he wakes up."

With that, Lin Xi and Si Wen walked toward their apartment complex.

So this is what other people’s girlfriends are like? Rich, beautiful, well-behaved, and obedient. Where on earth can I find a girlfriend like that?

Cui Hao walked back to the studio feeling gloomy.

Just as he returned to his workstation, Yu Kexin slammed a stack of documents onto his desk. THWACK!

"These are the design plans for the new game from the boss. I’ve finished the code. Look them over and send them to the game bloggers to generate some pre-launch hype."

Cui Hao looked up at Yu Kexin’s makeup-free face and heard her completely unfeminine tone. Suddenly, his own future felt bleak.

Oh, heavens, can’t you just grant me a normal woman?

SMACK!

Yu Kexin slapped him on the back of the head.

"Stop daydreaming in broad daylight. Get to work."

With that, she turned and returned to her seat.

It was Saturday, and she didn’t have to work overtime. But if she didn’t go to work, it seemed like there was nothing else to do. After thinking it over, she decided to come to the office anyway.

"Can’t you be as considerate as the Lady Boss?" Cui Hao muttered.

Yu Kexin shot him a withering look and retorted, "Do you have half the boss’s charm? Or half his ability?"

Cui Hao pointed at her, speechless for a long moment.

"You... You’re ruthless."

「Back at the apartment」

Lin Xi and Si Wen returned home, put the ingredients in the kitchen, and started to cook.

"You’re so skilled at this. I’m starting to suspect you took special lessons."

"I did. Auntie Shen and Auntie Zhong taught me."

"Auntie Zhong is Xue Yang’s mom, right?" Si Wen asked.

"Yes. Auntie Zhong is really nice. She patiently teaches me anything I ask. Why don’t you go relax on the couch for a bit? I’ll be quick."

"See if there’s anything I can help with. I’d rather not have a certain someone wake up and accuse me of freeloading."

"He wouldn’t. But if you really want to help, you can wash the vegetables. I’m going to make some soup. Xue Yang loves it."
