Chapter 150: I Care About You
Xia Chenge looked at Xia Minglan, who was unrepentant and beyond saving, and got up to leave.
Looking at people like that made her sick!
“Xia Chenge, stop right there, stop!” Xia Minglan shouted desperately.
However, Xia Chenge didn’t even pause, drifting away gracefully.
Xia Minglan collapsed in despair, believing from beginning to end that she was not at fault, that she was innocent, and that Xia Chenge was too cruel, driving her to ruin.
Stepping out of the detention center, Xia Chenge looked up at the vast sky: Did you see? I avenged you!
Perhaps it was the original owner’s spirit watching over her, but the previously muggy weather suddenly brought a cool breeze, gently brushing Xia Chenge’s cheek.
Xia Chenge smiled, took a deep breath, and could finally become the Xia family’s young lady with peace of mind.
“Little Brother!” Just then, a familiar voice pulled Xia Chenge back from her thoughts.
Looking up, she saw Ling Hanmu grinning and waving as he walked towards her.
“Why are you here?” Xia Chenge asked, tilting her head.
“I haven’t seen you for several days, I missed you!” Ling Hanmu gazed at her intently. “I went to your house this morning and you weren’t there, so I guessed you might have come here.”
Hearing this, Xia Chenge felt a sweetness in her heart.
She found herself becoming less resistant to Ling Hanmu’s confessions, even experiencing blushing and a pounding heart.
“Do you miss me?” Ling Hanmu asked seriously.
Xia Chenge’s face flushed crimson, and she flusteredly averted her gaze, not daring to meet Ling Hanmu’s eyes.
“Um, let’s go back first, the sun is too hot.” Xia Chenge rambled, trying to change the topic, completely unaware of how her reaction was a clear giveaway.
Ling Hanmu chuckled, not pressing her, and simply reached out to pat her head: “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Little Brother!”
With that, he took Xia Chenge’s hand and led her to the passenger seat, opening the door for her.
Xia Chenge sat in the car, her cheeks still feeling warm.
“Now that the troublemakers are dealt with, you can go back to school with peace of mind. The final exams are in a week, do you have any summer vacation plans?” Ling Hanmu didn’t pursue the previous topic.
Xia Chenge had slowly calmed down. “I’ve been busy dealing with the Xu Jingyi family lately, I haven’t really thought about what to do during summer vacation.”
“Then is there anything you’d like to do?”
“Not yet. Next semester will be my third year of senior high school, shouldn’t I be preparing for the college entrance examination?”
“Do you need to prepare?”
“The third year of senior high school is very intense, I can’t relax too much.”
“Then what university are you planning to apply to?”
“I haven’t thought about it.” Xia Chenge admitted honestly. She had woken up suddenly and was forced to accept everything. Her initial focus was on avenging the original owner, so she hadn’t thought about such long-term matters.
Moreover, she had a mission to complete. Until she found that laboratory, she could not rest easy.
The scene of human extinction during the apocalypse was a pain she could never erase from her heart.
“What’s wrong?” Ling Hanmu suddenly noticed Xia Chenge’s mood had become low and couldn’t help but worry.
Xia Chenge shook her head: “It’s nothing, just thinking about some unpleasant memories.”
“You can tell me anything. Even if I can’t help, I can at least be a good listener.”
“Thank you, Xiao Mu.”
She didn’t want to burden Ling Hanmu with such heavy topics.
Especially since all of this was too distant for Ling Hanmu, and he didn’t need to bear responsibilities that weren’t his.
“You always seem so positive and upward, but I always feel like you’re hiding many heavy secrets in your heart. Whether you want to talk about it or not, I just want to tell you that if you’re willing, I can bear everything with you.”
As if sensing Xia Chenge’s thoughts, Ling Hanmu suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned to look at her deeply.
The sincere and passionate emotion in his eyes was so intense.
Xia Chenge was dazzled by his gaze, her heart pounding.
She involuntarily reached out to caress Ling Hanmu’s incredibly handsome face, her eyes tracing his perfect features: “Promise me, live well, and no matter what, always remember me!”
Ling Hanmu looked at her and nodded.
Xia Chenge smiled brightly. At this moment, she just wanted to look at Ling Hanmu; she didn’t want to be forgotten by him.
Every time Ling Hanmu entered a state of madness, seeing his unfamiliar and numb expression would twist her heart like a knife.
“Little Brother, you care about me, don’t you?” Ling Hanmu couldn’t bear to break the beautiful atmosphere, but he was also stubbornly seeking an answer.
Xia Chenge remained silent.
Ling Hanmu’s eager anticipation gradually cooled. He was disappointed but still comforted himself: Little Brother just has a slow reaction time, she must care about me!
“Mhm!” Just as Ling Hanmu was about to give up hope, Xia Chenge softly replied, “I care about you, and I don’t want to be forgotten by you.”
Ling Hanmu was stunned, thinking he had imagined it or misheard, and stared blankly at Xia Chenge.
“Silly!” Xia Chenge playfully patted his face.
Ling Hanmu suddenly grabbed Xia Chenge’s hand and said excitedly, “Little Brother, is what you said true?”
He was truly afraid this was just a dream that would vanish upon waking.
“It’s true.” Xia Chenge said joyfully, thinking that having a boyfriend like this wasn’t a bad thing after all.
So many people chased her during the apocalypse, but none of them doted on her unconditionally like he did.
No matter how strong a woman is, she has a soft spot in her heart, reserved for someone special.
Now, that place in her heart had unknowingly been occupied by the young man before her.
Love arises without reason and deepens infinitely.
“What do I do, what do I do? I think I’ve forgotten how to drive!” Ling Hanmu tightly gripped Xia Chenge’s hand, speaking incoherently, then pleaded, “I feel like I’m floating right now, Little Brother, can you say it again?”
Xia Chenge pursed her lips and smiled, refusing to say it again.
“Say it again, please!”
“Little Brother, I’m begging you!”
“Please, just once!”
Ling Hanmu even resorted to pouting and acting cute, but Xia Chenge remained unmoved.
Ling Hanmu pouted, looking wronged.
“I care about you, and I don’t want to be forgotten by you.” When Ling Hanmu looked disappointed again, Xia Chenge withdrew her hand from his, cupped his face, and said word by word.
“I think we can try dating.”
Ling Hanmu’s eyes widened, and he was stunned once more.
Xia Chenge flicked his forehead. “If you act any sillier, I’ll take back my words.”
“No!” Ling Hanmu said urgently. “What’s said is said, it can’t be taken back, you can’t go back on your word!”
“Silly.” Xia Chenge poked his nose.
“Aow aow aow, right now I just want to sing at the top of my lungs and announce it to the whole world.” Ling Hanmu was beside himself with excitement.
He had waited for this day for a long time.
It was wonderful that the person he liked was her.
He immediately took out his mobile phone, eager to share it with the world.
Ling Ling Ling Hanmu: Goddess called me silly, what should I do? Waiting online, urgent!
