Chapter 50
After handling her tasks, Zhao Xinyu left work early and went home.
Tomorrow was Saturday, and on Sunday, the two of them would go to the underwater world.
Arriving home, she went straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and ate an ice cream to cool down. She went to the study and took out the ring to look at it.
The closer it gets to the weekend, the more nervous she feels. This is her first proposal.
After looking at it for a while, Zhao Xinyu put the ring away. Sun Qianyi hadn’t returned yet. She thought she should go pick up Sun Qianyi.
Walking to the living room, she noticed the large watermelon on the table. Should I take it with me?
Finding a bag, Zhao Xinyu took the watermelon.
At the studio, Zhao Xinyu first took the watermelon to the lounge area and placed it on the table.
She saw Su Ke coming over to make coffee and asked her if she had a fruit knife. Su Ke took a fruit knife from a drawer and handed it to her.
“Su Ke, tell everyone to come over and eat.”
Su Ke didn’t move. She looked at the watermelon and said, “Miss Zhao, this one watermelon is not enough for everyone.”
…
Ah, well, this is embarrassing. As a CEO, I feel like I’m having a social death moment right now.
“Wait a moment. I’ll have a few more sent over.”
“There’s a fruit stall downstairs. I’ll call them for you. How many do you need, Ms. Zhao?”
“…How many are enough?”
“If everyone eats one slice, two more should be enough.”
“Then have five sent over. Should I pay them later?”
“Yes, Miss Zhao.”
“Okay, thank you.”
The watermelons were delivered a few minutes later. Zhao Xinyu scanned the code and paid. She told them to slice it up and eat it themselves…
“What is everyone doing?” Cai Luo asked the employees.
The employee next to her replied, “CEO Sun’s wife bought watermelon for everyone.”
…
“Oh~ Hurry up and get back to work after you eat!”
“Got it!”
Cai Luo returned to her office doorway, looked at the person sitting inside, and said, “It’s Xinyu. She bought watermelon for everyone.”
“Watermelon?” I think there’s one at home.
“Yes. Everyone is lining up to eat it.”
Sun Qianyi came out and said, “Mhm. Do you want some?”
“Wait a moment. Everyone is lining up!” She does like watermelon very much. She didn’t expect Zhao Xinyu to like it too.
Sun Qianyi came out and saw Zhao Xinyu standing aside. She walked over and pulled her closer.
“Why did you buy watermelon?”
“I came from home and brought that one watermelon.”
???
“Then what are you going to eat?”
“I just bought five more. After they finish distributing it, two slices of watermelon will be enough for me.”
“Alright.”
Zhao Xinyu looked at Cai Luo and asked, “Sister Cai Luo, would you like to have dinner with us tonight?”
“That sounds great~”
“What should we eat?”
Zhao Xinyu looked at Sun Qianyi. Sun Qianyi blinked, then turned and asked Cai Luo, “Is there anything you want to eat?”
“Let’s have hot pot. We can have a split pot. You can have the clear broth, and I can have the spicy one.”
“That works,” Qianyi said.
After everyone finished distributing the watermelon, Zhao Xinyu walked over, sliced a few pieces, and ate it with Cai Luo and Qianyi.
After Cai Luo finished giving instructions about work, they set off for dinner.
At the hot pot restaurant, Cai Luo immediately requested a split pot and asked the server to prepare it first. They would look at the other side dishes slowly.
Qianyi chose mostly vegetables. Zhao Xinyu didn’t choose anything; Cai Luo had already ordered what she wanted. Such as lamb, beef, tripe, and other things.
As the dishes were brought out one by one, Sun Qianyi looked at Cai Luo and said, “If you eat like that, be careful of getting inflamed~”
“Sigh, you don’t understand. These are the soulmates of hot pot.”
“…I truly don’t understand. Since you ordered so much, you must eat a lot.”
Zhao Xinyu sat on the side, watching and listening to the two of them bicker. If it were me, I’d probably just block Qianyi’s mouth so she couldn’t talk.
She poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qianyi. She dipped the beef in the spicy pot. She had selected milk earlier. Qianyi can eat a little spicy food.
“Rinse it in the broth before eating. The spicy flavor is quite good.”
“Okay, Xinyu~”
…
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Women in love… even their way of talking is abnormal.
“Sun Qianyi, speak normally. Don’t you think that sounds strange?”
“No.”
“…”
Well, she might as well focus on eating.
She ate too much watermelon. After only a few bites of hot pot, Zhao Xinyu rushed to the restroom.
She was too hasty when she went. When she returned, she saw Xia Xuan? What a coincidence?
“Xia Xuan?”
Hearing her name called, Xia Xuan turned and looked at her: “Sister Xinyu, are you eating here too?”
“Yes, right up ahead.”
“Oh~ These are my classmates. We came out to have fun today and decided to eat here.”
“Then you enjoy your meal. I won’t disturb you.”
“Okay, Sister Xinyu~”
Zhao Xinyu returned and mentioned it to Qianyi: “Xia Xuan is also eating hot pot here.”
Cai Luo’s hand, stained with seasoning, paused. Xia Xuan is here?
Sun Qianyi: “Xia Xuan? …I remember now. That girl you ate with that day.”
“Yes.”
“What a coincidence~”
“Mhm~”
They didn’t continue talking about Xia Xuan. After finishing the meal, Zhao Xinyu and Sun Qianyi said goodbye to Cai Luo and went home first.
Cai Luo didn’t leave. She sat in her car, waiting for Xia Xuan to come out.
Seeing them come out and then head to a KTV, she messaged Xia Xuan, asking where she was. Xia Xuan told her truthfully: at a KTV.
Not knowing what else to message, Cai Luo sat blankly in her car.
After a while, Xia Xuan messaged her, asking if she wanted to come over. She hesitated, then replied: Okay.
Xia Xuan sent a happy emoji. Cai Luo looked at the emoji for over ten minutes before putting her phone away.
When she arrived at the private room, she saw Xia Xuan sitting inside, her cheeks flushed. Is she drinking?
She walked straight in without hesitation. Xia Xuan noticed her approaching.
“You’re here?” Xia Xuan said softly.
“Mhm.”
“So fast~”
Her voice was light and airy, sounding slightly intoxicated.
Xia Xuan pulled her to sit inside. Her classmates teased Xia Xuan, asking her to introduce Cai Luo. Xia Xuan introduced Cai Luo to her classmates but didn’t specify their relationship, making her classmates curious.
After sitting for a few minutes, her classmates started offering Xia Xuan drinks and urging her to drink. She refused to let them. Watching Xia Xuan drink cup after cup, she snatched the wine glass from Xia Xuan’s hand. “You can’t drink anymore. You’re already drunk.”
Xia Xuan looked at her but didn’t say anything. Cai Luo said a few words to Xia Xuan’s classmates and took her away first.
Getting off the elevator, Xia Xuan pulled her into a corner, seemingly trapping her.
“We talked for two days. Why did you suddenly go silent?”
“…”
“Why? Little Luo Luo, why didn’t you talk to me?”
“…Sigh, I have a nickname now.”
“Do you like me?”
Cai Luo wanted to say she liked her, but she still didn’t speak.
“Forget it,” Xia Xuan said, turning to leave. Cai Luo panicked and immediately grabbed Xia Xuan’s arm.
“Let go,” Xia Xuan said, looking at her.
“I won’t let go.” She felt that if she let go of Xia Xuan’s hand now, they might never see each other again.
Xia Xuan sighed and chuckled: “Is this interesting to you?”
She didn’t want things to turn out like this. Talking to Xia Xuan for two days made her feel increasingly insecure. They couldn’t just be regular friends. The messages she sent initially weren’t what a friend would send.
“Are you still not going to talk?” Xia Xuan’s voice was hitting her heart.
“Please let go of my arm!”
Xia Xuan’s eyes filled with tears. She had made this girl sad.
“Don’t cry! What can I do to make you feel better?”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t know…”
…
“If you don’t know, then please release my arm. I want to go home.”
“I’ll take you.”
“No need!”
Cai Luo didn’t let go; she squeezed tighter. But she still couldn’t say those words.
“Cai Luo, you’re hurting me.”
Hearing Xia Xuan say it hurt, she subconsciously released Xia Xuan’s arm.
Watching Xia Xuan turn and walk away, she felt her heart drop to the floor and shatter.
She hugged Xia Xuan, not wanting her to leave, burying her head in Xia Xuan’s neck.
“I like you.”
“What?”
“I like you,” she said very softly, but it took all her courage.
“Mhm~”
“Can you stay?”
“…I can stay with you for a while. You have to take me home later.”
“Good.” Cai Luo turned and kissed Xia Xuan’s neck, feeling Xia Xuan’s body stiffen slightly.
Cai Luo held Xia Xuan for a long time that night. Later, Cai Luo drove Xia Xuan home.
On Saturday, Zhao Xinyu and Sun Qianyi stayed at home all day. That evening, Cai Luo, Shi Yu, and Lu Qing came to their place for dinner.
Lu Qing ruined several of the ice creams she bought. Zhao Xinyu looked at her and teased, “Aren’t you afraid of running to the restroom in the middle of the night?”
Lu Qing: “Don’t say that! So what if I ate a few more of your ice creams!”
“But seriously, you really are my good brother. Sister Sun was actually conquered and agreed to live with you!”
“We registered our marriage. What are you thinking? I’m not an animal.”
“…”
“When did that happen?”
“Before Qianyi came over for dinner last time.”
“Damn, that’s wild!…”
“…” Wait a minute! Zhao Xinyu operates too fast.
“Are you sure about this? Marrying so early!”
“Of course I’m sure. I even got married early on purpose.”
Lu Qing looked at her, confused, and asked, “On purpose? Are you out of your mind?”
“…I’m smart. Sun Qianyi can only be my, Zhao Xinyu’s, woman!”
…
“I see it now. You really love Sister Sun.”
“Of course.”
Seeing Lu Qing about to ruin more of her ice cream, she quickly ushered the two of them out. They ate so much for dinner, and now so much ice cream. They’re definitely going to get diarrhea when they get back!
Closing the door, she saw Sun Qianyi smiling happily, looking at her.
“Didn’t they come here just to help us eat?”
Zhao Xinyu pouted and said, “This goes beyond helping us eat.”
Hahaha~
…
The two of them went to bed very early that night. The next morning, after washing up, she pulled Qianyi along to choose outfits.
Qianyi finally chose a white formal dress, and she chose a black suit.
“Isn’t that a little too formal? We’re going to the underwater world today.”
“I think it looks great~ Doesn’t it look good?”
“It looks good~” How could it not look good?
Sigh. It’s a good thing Sun Qianyi didn’t overthink it. I’ll put the ring in my pocket later.
The Auntie didn’t need to cook today; she only needed to clean.
With the ring secured and everything prepared, she took Qianyi to eat breakfast first, then set off for the underwater world.
Maybe it’s because it’s the weekend, but finding a parking spot at the underwater world’s parking lot is incredibly difficult.
After circling for over ten minutes, she finally found an empty spot and parked the car. She didn’t rush to get out.
Qianyi saw her not getting out and remained still, waiting for her to relax.
“Qianyi~”
“Mhm, what’s wrong?”
“I feel like there will be a lot of people today. It was even this hard to find parking.”
“It’s okay.”
“I feel like I have no energy right now. Will you kiss me?”
Sun Qianyi looked at her and smiled: “Okay~”
