Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 163 - 162 Give Me a Chance (Monthly Ticket 625+)

In her previous life, her father also couldn’t resist temptation and made a mistake, but because of her mom’s fierce personality, her father and that woman didn’t end up together, yet he was still demoted.

Her mom and dad still lived like that, and her father continued to attract admirers, while her mom carried on being fierce. Xia Xiao felt that this was tiring, but this was the life of her parents from her past life. She felt that her younger brother from her previous life was as fickle-hearted as their father.

But the premise was that she needed to be independent and confident. Without marriage, she could still live well, live unrestrainedly, live freely.

"I think you’re quite good, but..." Xia Xiao hadn’t finished speaking when Gao Jiaxing cut in, "But you look down on me."

Xia Xiao shook her head, "Brother Gao is really nice."

"What do you think is good about me?" Gao Jiaxing asked.

Xia Xiao, considering that Gao Jiaxing must be feeling downhearted and lacking confidence now, tried hard to list all his good qualities, "Brother Gao is very nice. He has good character, a good personality, takes care of his family, is responsible, hardworking, and brave..."

Gao Jiaxing said, "You also think I’m not bad, right? Even though my looks aren’t as delicate as Bingzi, I’m still quite handsome. I look good, have a good figure, a good personality, no bad habits, my family is easy to get along with, and you don’t dislike me. Why don’t you give me a chance to pursue you?"

"And I have you in my heart, I will protect you." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Xia Xiao fell silent, Gao Jiaxing was indeed good, and she also recognized his qualities, but she didn’t know if it was because they were too familiar or what, she lacked a certain feeling and impulse.

"I think I probably regard you as an older brother." This was the excuse Xia Xiao found, otherwise she didn’t know how to explain her relationship with Gao Jiaxing.

Xia Xiao treated Gao Jiaxing with caution, she liked Zheng Xianghong, liked the Gao family’s simple harmony, and enjoyed the company of the Gao family. In the past, she really considered recognizing Zheng Xianghong as her godmother, then Gao Jiazhi and Gao Jiaxing would become her brothers, protecting her. She liked that feeling.

She felt that this kind of familial affection was more reliable than romantic feelings, so Xia Xiao didn’t consider the possibility of a relationship with either of the Gao family’s sons.

"I am not your brother, Xia Xiao, and you haven’t really regarded me as such either."

Well, that left Xia Xiao speechless. She was really older than Gao Jiaxing, even if Gao Jiaxing looked more mature, she hadn’t really thought of him as an older brother.

For a moment, Xia Xiao stood there, feeling a bit confused, conflicted, and unsure of how to define their current relationship.

"Xia Xiao, give me a chance, let me pursue you. Don’t avoid me, try to understand me, to accept me, okay?" Gao Jiaxing looked at Xia Xiao and added, "One year, if by then you’re still not satisfied, still unwilling to be with me, then we’ll just have to chalk it up to fate. I won’t force you anymore."

After he finished speaking, Gao Jiaxing’s gaze was locked tightly on Xia Xiao, not missing any flicker of her expression, the whole person even seemed nervous, his palms sweating.

Xia Xiao looked at Gao Jiaxing, his gaze sincere yet fragile, his complexion worn and pale, his eyes shining with hope, yet tinged with a hint of vulnerability.

Xia Xiao averted her gaze to the scraps of paper on the ground, thought about what Gao Jiaxing said, about studying hard to be worthy of her, and nodded, "Okay, I’ll give you the chance to pursue me, I won’t avoid it anymore. Let’s try to understand each other."

Ever since she knew Gao Jiaxing was interested in her, Xia Xiao had been purposely avoiding him. If it wasn’t for the news that Gao Jiaxing had fallen ill, she wouldn’t have come by reflexively.

She had to admit she was worried about Gao Jiaxing and didn’t wish for anything to happen to him.

A year wasn’t long for Xia Xiao, and she was willing to give Gao Jiaxing a chance to pursue her, trying to understand each other. She even hoped that she could fall for Gao Jiaxing and become a family with him and Zheng Xianghong.

What she was afraid of was not being able to become part of the family, or still not liking Gao Jiaxing when the time came, unable to give him what he wanted, resulting in an awkward relationship with the Gao family.

With Xia Xiao’s words, a broad smile broke out on Gao Jiaxing’s pale face, sunny, radiant, joyful, as if flowers had blossomed in his heart.

Seeing how happy Gao Jiaxing was, Xia Xiao also smiled, feeling it wasn’t so difficult after all. At that moment, she even felt at ease, with no resistance, and even a slight anticipation in her heart. Xia Xiao was somewhat confused by her own feelings but still stretched her hand towards Gao Jiaxing, "Brother Gao, keep it up."

Gao Jiaxing grabbed Xia Xiao’s hand, firmly, tightly, yet reluctant to squeeze too hard and cause her pain. It was a long while before Gao Jiaxing let go.

Gao Jiaxing gave himself one year, one year to work hard to make Xia Xiao agree to be with him.

Xia Xiao addressed Gao Jiaxing, "Brother Gao, give me all these books. I’ll hide them for you."

"You won’t hide them well. There’s no need, you’ve already agreed to let me pursue you, to not avoid me. I won’t burn the books," Gao Jiaxing laughed, feeling even happier than if he had been accepted into university.

"Who knows with you, you might change your mind and end up burning them," Xia Xiao said.

"It’s up to you," Gao Jiaxing was okay with whatever Xia Xiao said.

Xia Xiao gathered all of Gao Jiaxing’s books and realized there were quite a lot, not just textbooks but also many miscellaneous books. "Could these be Brother Gao’s books as well?"

Gao Jiaxing nodded, "Some of my brother’s books are here too."

Xia Xiao promptly found something to pack them in, collecting all the books. The main reason was thinking about the upcoming special period, not knowing if some of the miscellaneous books might be affected, so Xia Xiao decided to take them all. After all, she had space to store them, and as long as she didn’t take them out, no one would find them.

"Brother Gao, I’m heading back to the dorm now, I’ll come see you again tomorrow. Make sure you read, memorize the content inside."

Normally Xia Xiao wouldn’t have reminded him, but seeing Gao Jiaxing unwell, she still instructed him to focus his attention elsewhere rather than on the canceled college entrance exam.

Xia Xiao thought if she had worked hard for so long and suddenly there was no college entrance exam, she would also be quite upset.

Carrying a pile of books, Xia Xiao left the Gao family and went back to her dorm. However, no one was in the dorm at that time, so Xia Xiao easily put all of Gao Jiaxing’s books into her space to keep.

Of course, this wasn’t all, but all the miscellaneous books from the Gao family had been taken and kept by Xia Xiao.
