As Lin Xiao stepped out in the morning, she took her access card with her. Upon entering the house, she noticed Li Hao sitting on the sofa, engrossed in a book. He was so absorbed that he didn't even look up when she came in.
Lin Xiao gently closed the door, placed her bag in the entrance, and went to wash her hands in the guest bathroom. When she came out, Li Hao was still in the same position. She thought he might have fallen asleep, but as she got closer, she realized he was indeed reading.
Feeling cheerful herself, Lin Xiao didn't pay much attention to Li Hao's expression. She assumed he was simply lost in his book and sat down beside him.
Li Hao thought to himself that it seemed Lin Xiao was really happy today, her confidence growing. He casually set his book down on the coffee table and asked, "What classes do you have this afternoon?"
"Marxist Economics and Logic," Lin Xiao replied somewhat shyly, feeling a bit guilty for skipping class.
Li Hao's heart sank; she was even lying about it. Was she really capable of understanding those subjects?
"I skipped class," Lin Xiao said proudly. She rarely missed classes and had only done so once before for a part-time job; this was her first time skipping without a reason.
Seeing Li Hao looking at her, Lin Xiao felt a bit embarrassed. "I went shopping with my brother Lin Xiao. Do you remember him?"
At that moment, Li Hao was immensely relieved that he hadn't confronted her when she walked in.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yi sent him a picture. In it, Lin Xiao was sitting at the counter of Da Fu Jewelry while a sales assistant helped her put on a necklace. She tilted her head back, smiling brightly, while a man stood next to her, looking down at her.
The man’s face was not visible; only his back could be seen.
Zhao Yi hadn’t expected to see Lin Xiao at Kid Plaza. Just the other day, she had borrowed some money from him, and now here she was picking out jewelry at Da Fu Jewelry with a man who wasn’t Li Hao.
This made Zhao Yi think twice about their relationship. Moreover, there had been rumors about Lin Xiao causing a stir in Gulou District recently; just days ago, he heard from the Organization Department that someone was trying to set her up with someone.
Watching from the second floor for a while, Zhao Yi noticed how intimate their gestures were; their relationship was definitely more than ordinary. He wanted to create an opportunity for an encounter but was pulled away by Li Ran.
When Li Hao saw the photo, his mood plummeted to an all-time low. He had pledged loyalty to her while she seemed to be playing around—what nonsense was this?
Lin Xiao had mentioned that she sold some code for ten thousand dollars and insisted on dragging him along to buy jewelry.
"Let me see the necklace," Li Hao said as he noticed how genuinely happy Lin Xiao looked; her face sparkled with excitement.
Lin Xiao reached into her neck and pulled out a platinum necklace with a heart-shaped jade pendant, presenting it to Li Hao like a child showing off a treasure.
Unaware that her excitement had brought her closer to Li Hao, she leaned in even more to show him the necklace.
Li Hao reached out and pulled Lin Xiao into his embrace. Noticing that she didn’t resist, he leaned down and kissed her. Unlike their previous light peck, this time he deepened the kiss by slipping his tongue into her mouth.
Lin Xiao hugged him tightly in surprise. After a moment, Li Hao suddenly laughed; "You silly girl, you don’t even know how to kiss properly."
Released from his hold, Lin Xiao felt flushed all over as if she might burst into flames. She didn’t understand why Li Hao was laughing—she would remember to breathe next time.
Lin Xiao's face turned even redder at his words.
Li Hao kissed her, and the taste was delightful. The afternoon gloom lifted completely as he held her in his arms. "Do you like the necklace?"
