After they had finished kissing, Huo Shiqian straightened her bangs for her, opened the door, and sent Xia Chuyi out.
"Be good, wait for me, I'll change my clothes," Huo Shiqian said indifferently. "Once I've changed, we'll go to eat together."
Xia Chuyi stood at the doorway, leaning against the wall and kicking at the floor, thinking: Why do I feel like I've been used and discarded?
She looked down at her clothes and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Luckily she had worn this outfit today, and it counted as a dazzling entrance!
However, she wondered if Uncle Liberation Army had noticed how good-looking she was dressed today?
Xia Chuyi returned to her room, fussed with her hair, and spruced herself up a bit before she heard someone knock on the door.
When Xia Chuyi opened the door, standing outside was Huo Shiqian, now dressed in an even fresher set of casual clothes.
White short-sleeved ascetic shirt, black trousers...
"Brother Shi Qian, you look so handsome in this outfit!" Xia Chuyi's eyes brightened as she couldn't help but exclaim.
The corners of Huo Shiqian's mouth lifted slightly as he reached out and touched Xia Chuyi's head.
"Let's go," Huo Shiqian took her hand.
Xia Chuyi blinked, then blinked again, without moving her feet.
Huo Shiqian looked at her with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.
"Brother Shi Qian, haven't you noticed something different about me today compared to before?" Xia Chuyi asked expectantly.
Huo Shiqian looked at her closely, his brows furrowing, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"If you're not well, we don't have to go out," Huo Shiqian said seriously.
"No, Brother Shi Qian, I'm asking if I look good today?" Xia Chuyi asked directly.
"You look good," replied Huo Shiqian without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi's face lit up with joy: "Really? I specially picked out today's clothes!"
After hearing her words, Huo Shiqian glanced at her again and said, "Hmm, not bad, quite beautiful, just like the ones before."
The first half of Uncle Liberation Army's sentence made Xia Chuyi somewhat delighted, but the second half...
Xia Chuyi couldn't help but pout.
Seeing this, Huo Shiqian gave her another look, his brows slightly furrowing as he said, "Chuyi, I truly didn't notice what's different about today's clothes."
"In my memory, every time I see you, you're exceptionally beautiful."
"This time is no exception."
Huo Shiqian was extremely serious when he spoke.
Xia Chuyi continued to pout.
Yet, the smile tugging at her lips couldn't be concealed, and her crescent eyes shone with her happiness.
"Cough, cough, Brother Shi Qian, let's go eat!" Xia Chuyi said excitedly.
However, as soon as the two went downstairs and walked into the hall, they saw a figure dash towards them as fast as lightning, rushing over with enthusiasm.
"Huo Shiqian, you're finally here!" The newcomer's voice was as enthusiastic as one could be.
When Guo Jiacheng reached them, he barely managed to stop, his eyes excitedly looking at Huo Shiqian, "Brother, when are we going to have a match?"
"If you win, all the favors I've done for your wife and the money I've spent will be wiped clean!"
"How about that? Fair enough, right?"
Where did Guo Jiacheng come from?
In the few days she had been here, she had not seen him once.
Xiao Zhen had mentioned that Guo Jiacheng was busy with preparations for inviting over for the competition venue.
But why was it that as soon as Uncle Liberation Army arrived, Guo Jiacheng wasn't busy anymore?
Xia Chuyi's eyes formed a crescent moon shape, she turned her head and said to Huo Shiqian with a smile, "Yeah, Guo Commander has 'helped' me a lot!"
