Chapter 2180: The Truth Abroad (12)
"Brother Xi, are you saying your gift is yourself?" Jiaojiao was taken aback, sensing something off in his mood, and teased deliberately.
"Yes, I am completely yours, forever yours."
"Brother Xi, you’re such a cheeseball." Jiaojiao pouted, but quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, tiptoed, and pecked him on the lips: "Then I’ll give my stamp of approval first. You’re mine forever, for all eternity, okay?"
"Okay." Duan Xi also leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips.
Jiaojiao’s eyes crinkled with laughter, just about to steal another kiss, when a knock sounded at the door. Jiaojiao quickly let go of him and ran to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo standing there.
Ruan Jianguo asked, "Why aren’t you asleep yet, Xiaoxi? It’s late, hurry up and sleep."
Shu Jiao looked at Jiaojiao and said, "Just leave all these things on the ground for now. Tomorrow, I’ll help you tidy up. Go to bed early."
Jiaojiao looked at the two of them and immediately understood why they had come, her face couldn’t help but heat up, unsure of what to say, she stepped aside.
Duan Xi couldn’t stay in front of the elders either, so he left the room,
and Jiaojiao, under their watchful eyes, closed the door, feeling strangely a bit down.
She looked at the luxurious items piled on the bed, found a small spot just enough for herself to sleep, then headed to the bathroom to freshen up. She took a shower, which took about half an hour. When she came out in her pajamas, she found the bed previously piled high had already been tidied up, and not only that, there was a handsome man lying there!
Jiaojiao almost exclaimed upon seeing Duan Xi on her bed, quickly covered her mouth, and walked over asking quietly, "Brother Xi, how did you get in here?"
Duan Xi pointed outside the window; Jiaojiao’s room had the only protruding balcony, and his room was right next door, making the climb easy for him.
Jiaojiao looked at Duan Xi who had clearly showered, remembered his hint from earlier at noon, couldn’t help but feel her heart race, and felt disoriented, standing by the bed unsure what to do.
Should they really... at home... thinking of this made Jiaojiao’s face flush, she climbed onto the bed almost clumsily, intending to lie a bit farther from Duan Xi, but as soon as she got up, Duan Xi immediately pulled aside the blanket on his side, indicating for her to lie down.
"Brother Xi, isn’t this a bit improper," Jiaojiao whispered, but her body was honest as she lay beside Duan Xi, being pulled into his embrace.
It’s already the end of November, the weather in Beidu gets cold early, usually, the heating starts by mid-November, but this year it’s delayed a bit.
However, with Duan Xi warming the bed in advance, when Jiaojiao lay down, she felt it was even warmer than when the heating was on, making her face blush.
However, Jiaojiao, at this moment, couldn’t have imagined that what she thought would be a night full of twists and turns, would become the first major hurdle after her eighteenth birthday.
For many years afterward, Jiaojiao wished that had she known what news awaited her upon coming of age, she would rather never grow up!
