Chapter 13 Going Home Together

"Mixing personal and professional matters?" Leng Siche looked astonished but quickly regained his composure and smiled, "Is it because he likes you?"

Leng Sichen did not answer, which was an affirmation in itself.

Leng Siche heaved a light sigh, "Brother, don't always be so harsh to her. Your face is already intimidating enough! She always seems carefree, as if nothing matters, and she never shows vulnerability, but that doesn't mean she won't get hurt. Just because she likes you does not give you the right to hurt her!"

"Feeling the ache?" Leng Sichen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes!" Leng Siche admitted without hesitation.

"…" Leng Sichen remained expressionless, but his hands were already clenched into fists.

"Brother, I've never understood why she's so devotedly in love with you, and I still don't," Leng Siche said before leaving the office.

Leng Sichen leaned tiredly against the back of his chair and closed his eyes.

Ache, I don't understand either, all those changes around us, every time I turned around, yet she would always remain in the same place...

It was annoying when she was around, but now that she's gone, I actually feel... lonely...

After work.

Xia Yuxun was about to ride her bicycle home as usual when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

"Xiaoxun!"

Turning around, she saw Leng Sichen and Leng Siche walking side by side.

One indifferent and impatient, the other smiling and waving.

Almost every woman around was glued to the brothers, so Leng Siche's affectionate call to Xiaoxun immediately drew all those gazes onto Xia Yuxun.

My God! Even though she was tough, she couldn't handle so many ferocious women!

But, these two guys are really a sight for sore eyes! They're as exquisitely handsome as sculptures at the Louvre, supposedly of at least four different descents, too complex to trace far back.

Would this be counted as dying gloriously beneath peony flowers, charming even in death...

"Xiaoxun, I'll take you," Leng Siche said enthusiastically.

"This... there's no need, I came on my bicycle!" Xia Yuxun politely declined.

"I can give you a ride!" Leng Siche said as he walked over and took her bicycle.

"Brother, I'll walk with Xiaoxun."

"Whatever you want!" Leng Sichen turned and walked towards the garage.

Thus, Xia Yuxun ended up having no choice but to follow Leng Siche, who was pushing the bicycle.

Ugh, it felt like there were many transparent skulls attacking her; the jealous glares of those women almost literally stabbing her to death...

"Xiaoxun, get on."

"This doesn't seem right! How can I let you carry me..." Xia Yuxun struggled to say.

"What, are you very heavy?" Leng Siche raised his eyebrows.

"Not at all! I'm not heavy at all, okay!" Xia Yuxun eventually slowly moved to the bicycle's back seat.

As they rode along with the breeze on their faces, her mood, which had been depressed all day because of Leng Sichen, improved significantly.

"Ache! I think you've changed a lot since coming back this time!"

"Really? In what way?"

"You've become handsomer and much more cheerful!" Xia Yuxun, looking at his broad back, suddenly realized that the frail boy from the past had grown into a mature man.

"Thank you." Leng Siche smiled happily, like a child praised for good behavior.

-

Back at home, Xia Yuxun rummaged through her room and, despairingly discovering that she only had athletic clothes, decided not to change at all and just wore the same outfit to her appointment.

It was her first time going to this bar, and she got lost several times along the way, eventually being stopped and persistently hassled by a drunk.

Just as she was about to fight back, she felt her entire body surrounded by a familiar cold presence.

"Why are you running around?" the man who pulled her into his arms scolded with a stern face.
