Chapter 285: Are You Giving Me a Status?
“If I don’t feel like eating, can I come and find you?”
These words sounded a bit awkward, Qiao Xiaomai was stunned for two or three seconds before she snapped back to reality, she immediately laughed, “As long as you want to, you can come find me anytime.”
Tong Sanlang, looking at her adorable dimpled smile, couldn’t resist smiling himself, “I might come by and knock on your window every night.”
“Feel free to do so!” Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow.
She also looked forward to seeing this handsome young man every day.
“Can you accept me doing that?” Tong Sanlang was surprised.
His mention of knocking on her window every night was just a jest.
“Why not?” Qiao Xiaomai asked back, confused.
“Well…” Tong Sanlang was somewhat tongue-tied.
Qiao Xiaomai blinked her eyes, grasping his implication, she couldn’t help but click her tongue, “I am not a local girl, this is nothing to be ashamed of.”
“However, don’t think I’m not modest. If anyone else dare to come, I’ll beat him until he can’t fend for himself.”
Tong Sanlang, looking at her deliberately stern face, burst out laughing, “1 don’t mean that, I just don’t want to offend you.”
He still remembered Xiaomai’s extreme reaction when he confessed his feelings, so he has always been very careful with their boundaries, afraid that overstepping might upset her.
Hearing him, Xiaomai also remembered his confession that day, she coughed lightly, feeling a bit uneasy, “Just chatting like this won’t be offensive.”
“Then, I should come by more often?”
“Sure, come on!” Qiao Xiaomai nodded vigorously.
Truth be told, she and Tong Sanlang are not that familiar with each other and not fully understand each other, both of them harboring many secrets.
Chatting is necessary.
Tong Sanlang chuckled and nodded, hesitated for a moment, then asked, “So, could we be considered mutual admirers now?”
“Of course.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded again emphatically.
Tong Sanlang looked at her and smiled sincerely.
Delight, this emotion rose from his heart, quickly spreading throughout his body, as if he had consumed sweet nectar, every pore of his felt comfortable, floating as if he was about to be uplifted by the wind.
lie heaved a sigh of relief, raised his hand and held his chest, feeling warm surges swelling and tingling there.
“Does this mean you acknowledge me?”
Relationship status?
Hearing these words, Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes instinctively widened, after staring blankly for a while, she chuckled, “Yes, I acknowledge you and your roles, where I come from, we call it dating, a legitimate relationship between a man and a woman.”
Seeing Tong Sanlang raising his eyebrows lightly, she nodded, “You knew from the start that I’m not the original Xiaomai, didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
Qiao Xiaomai stared at his calm face and clicked her tongue, “Aren’t you scared?”
“Why should I be scared?”
“Because I am a lonely soul from a different world, not of your kind, my heart must be different.” Qiao Xiaomai lifted her cup again, sipping while staring at the person across from her without blinking.
A flutter of anticipation stirred in her heart.
Tong Sanlang,”… I always felt that you come from a world that’s better than this place, that you have seen better people and more beautiful sights. In front of you… I’m like a country bumpkin in front of a sophisticated city dweller.”
Qiao Xiaomai”…”
She stared blankly, then burst into a muffled laughter, her shoulders shaking.
“Do you think I’m a fairy?” she asked while laughing..
