"I'm not hungry either." Tang Xue looked at the top of Lin Xiaoxiao's head. She didn't know what she had been feeling guilty about just now. She could have just said no. "Um, Xiaoxiao."
"Um?"
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't turn to look at her, her eyes fixed on the photo album in her hands, seemingly completely absorbed by it.
"Little one!"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't looking at her, Tang Xue frowned, walked over and sat down opposite Lin Xiaoxiao, placed her hands on her shoulders, and forced the other person to look at her.
"Hmm?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at her, her expression somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Tang Xue paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you unhappy?"
"No, why do you ask that?" Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, looking very innocent.
Tang Xue sighed. She had known Lin Xiaoxiao for quite some time, and her understanding of Lin Xiaoxiao was probably deeper than Lin Xiaoxiao thought.
How could she not see that Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't feeling well? "Sorry, it's not that I don't want to answer your question."
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned. "Xiaoxue, I'm not unhappy. Whether you want to answer my question or not is your choice. You don't have to make things difficult for yourself just to accommodate me. I don't like that."
Although at first, Lin Xiaoxiao was indeed a little unhappy because Tang Xue avoided the topic.
But her unhappiness was directed at herself, not at Tang Xue.
"I didn't make things difficult for myself." Tang Xue's voice was so gentle that Lin Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat.
“This person is my best friend.” Tang Xue pointed to the girl in the photo album. “We are very close, but we have never kissed.”
Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, seemingly unable to understand Tang Xue's words. "You mean, the girl who kissed you wasn't her?"
Tang Xue was taken aback, and said somewhat helplessly, "What I mean is, there has never been a girl who has ever kissed me."
Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head, seemingly feeling that she was becoming a little less intelligent.
Tang Xue was charmed by Lin Xiaoxiao's appearance and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Lin Xiaoxiao's cheek. "What I said before was a lie. I've never had a girl who kisses me."
Lin Xiaoxiao's pupils dilated. "Why?"
"Hmm." Tang Xue nodded her chin. "The reason I said that back then was because I hoped you wouldn't take it to heart."
“If I hadn’t said that back then, I felt like you wouldn’t have been able to face me. No matter what, I couldn’t let someone as lovely as you be afraid to breathe every time you faced me.”
Lin Xiaoxiao blushed. Thinking of the stupid thing she had done that time, she really wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.
But she still noticed the key point in Tang Xue's words: "You haven't been kissed by other girls."
"That's right, you're the only girl I've ever kissed, my dear CEO Lin."
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's flushed face, Tang Xue pinched herself with the hand on her thigh.
She was afraid that looking at the adorable Lin Xiaoxiao, she would be unable to resist the urge to touch her.
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's bright eyes and rosy cheeks, for a moment, Tang Xue even had the illusion that she wasn't the one in love with him.
"Then I should indeed feel honored." Lin Xiaoxiao scratched her cheek and lowered her head.
She didn't need to look to know how red her face was. Fortunately, before talking about this, Tang Xue told a story about her embarrassing moment.
Otherwise, Lin Xiaoxiao really wouldn't be able to explain why she felt so shy and happy when she heard Tang Xue say that she was the first girl to kiss her.
"Is this your cat?" When she turned to the last page, Lin Xiaoxiao saw a photo of Tang Xue holding a little white cat.
Looking at the little white cat in the photo album, Lin Xiaoxiao reached out and touched it with a touch of nostalgia.
The little white cat that Tang Xue raised is exactly the same as the little white cat she adopted before, even the color of its eyes is the same. They both have a pair of beautiful eyes like sapphires.
"I remember you said before that you also had a white cat." Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao staring at the white cat, Tang Xue also remembered the misunderstanding she had caused before.
"Hmm." Lin Xiaoxiao poked the little white cat in the photo album. "Little White looks just like your cat."
"I'll take you to see it when I'm done with my work," Tang Xue said softly.
"Really?" Tang Xue narrowed her eyes, momentarily stunned by the light in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes. "Of course it's true."
"I'm really looking forward to it." Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes shone with light, and her radiant smile seemed to shine into Tang Xue's heart.
Tang Xue pursed her lips, her slightly narrowed eyes flashing with complex and unfathomable emotions.
"Is everything packed up?" Lin Xiaoxiao closed the photo album and glanced into the room.
"Okay." Tang Xue put the photo album into her suitcase. "I've already spoken to the landlord."
"Let's go home then." Lin Xiaoxiao picked up Tang Xue's backpack from the bed and held out her hand to Tang Xue. "Let's go home."
Tang Xue's eyes darkened, and she suddenly felt her eyes getting hot. Looking at the hand extended in front of her, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Let's go home."
Yes, let's go home, back to our home, back to Lin Xiaoxiao's home.
The move went smoothly, and after returning home, a happy Lin Xiaoxiao didn't let Tang Xue cook. Instead, she went into the kitchen herself and made some of Tang Xue's favorite dishes.
"Xiaoxiao, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, are these things your favorite foods?"
When Tang Xue first visited Lin Xiaoxiao's home, she discovered that the food Lin Xiaoxiao cooked suited her taste and preferences.
She had always thought it might be because Lin Xiaoxiao had the same taste as her.
However, once when they were eating at a restaurant, she discovered that Lin Xiaoxiao actually liked spicy food.
"Yes," Lin Xiaoxiao spat out the bone from her mouth, "It's one I like."
Lin Xiaoxiao used to have a stronger palate and liked to eat spicier food.
But since coming into this world, Lin Xiaoxiao has been slowly changing her habits.
"You know I have a sensitive stomach, so I can only eat spicy and stimulating foods occasionally."
“That makes sense.” Tang Xue lowered her head and ate a mouthful of rice.
Lin Xiaoxiao bit her chopsticks, and seeing that Tang Xue was eating seriously, she didn't say anything more.
After dinner, Tang Xue cleaned up, while Lin Xiaoxiao went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower and lying in bed, Lin Xiaoxiao yawned, glanced at the spot next to her, and smiled sweetly.
"Go to sleep if you're sleepy." When Tang Xue entered the room after taking a shower, she saw Lin Xiaoxiao looking sleepy but forcing her eyes open. She looked both cute and pitiful.
"I'll wait for you to come together." Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes; she was really sleepy.
She went to bed late last night, and then got up so early this morning that she's now so sleepy she can barely keep her eyes open.
"Go to sleep." Lying down on the bed, Tang Xue patted Lin Xiaoxiao's head. "Goodnight."
"Good night."
Lin Xiaoxiao mumbled something groggily, and her drooping eyelids finally closed.
Chapter 69
==================
"Xiaoxiao, wake up." Tang Xue walked into the room, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao who was sleeping soundly, and gazed at her tenderly for a while before calling her name.
No matter how many times Tang Xue watched it, she still found it amazing that Mingming's sleeping posture was so restless after falling asleep.
But by morning, you can sleep soundly.
Tang Xue reached out and poked Lin Xiaoxiao's face. "Xiaoxiao, get up and eat."
"Hmm." Lin Xiaoxiao turned over and pulled the blanket over her head. "I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep a little longer."
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was wrapped up like a ball, Tang Xue smiled gently, her eyes showing even more tenderness.
She gently pulled down Lin Xiaoxiao's blanket. "Be good, get up and eat first. You can sleep again after you eat."
"I'll just take a nap a little longer." Lin Xiaoxiao kept her eyes tightly closed, her mind foggy and she didn't know what she was saying at all.
All she knew was that she was very sleepy, and the strong desire to fall asleep was overwhelming her. All she wanted to do was hug the blanket and go to sleep as soon as possible.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, Tang Xue felt a pang of sympathy, wondering if she often worked late when she wasn't around.
With a touch of pity, Tang Xue touched Lin Xiaoxiao's face and lay by the bedside watching Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeping face, feeling a little reluctant to wake her up.
But thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao's stomach problems, even though he couldn't bear it, he still had to call out, "Xiaoxiao, get up and eat."
Tang Xue shook Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, "Eat your food before you sleep, be good."
"Hmm."
Disturbed from her sleep, Lin Xiaoxiao frowned in annoyance. All she wanted was to sleep in, why was it so difficult?
She didn't want to eat; she just wanted to sleep. Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed the blanket and prepared to cover her head with it.
"No, you can't go back to sleep until you finish eating." Tang Xue grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's blanket, stopping her from hiding her head.
"Um, I want to sleep."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little wronged. She was really sleepy and didn't want to eat.
Hmm? Time to eat?
A thought flashed through Lin Xiaoxiao's sleepy mind.
Eating? What kind of food? Who cooked it? Lin Xiaoxiao's mind was a little confused.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, don't sleep, wake up." Tang Xue felt a little helpless and amused as she looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's tightly closed eyes and unwilling to open them.
The gentle voice instantly snapped Lin Xiaoxiao out of her daze.
There was only one person who would call her with such a gentle voice, and that was Tang Xue.
The thought instantly banished her drowsiness. Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and saw Tang Xue lying by the bedside with a smile on her face.
"You're awake." Tang Xue pinched Lin Xiaoxiao's cheek. "Are you fully awake?"
Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, her mind a little fuzzy. Back at the hotel, Tang Xue always got up earlier than her.
As for yesterday morning, although she got up earlier than Tang Xue, she didn't even dare to turn on the lights so as not to disturb Tang Xue, and went out with her clothes in her arms.
This was the first time today that she had seen such a gentle smile from the other person when she opened her eyes.
"What's wrong? Still not awake?" Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao staring blankly at her, Tang Xue waved her hand in front of Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes. "Go wash your face and you'll be awake."
"You're awake." Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes followed Tang Xue's waving hands, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "I'll get up now."
