Chapter 120: Chapter 120 To Pounce or Not to Pounce (6)

Ling Chuxia clearly felt the oppressive atmosphere ease a bit as Shi Che spoke. She took a light breath, and her tone relaxed unconsciously, "Yeah, look at Old Cai. He used to be so skinny, like a bamboo pole, and now look at how much weight he’s put on, his belly is as big as a beach ball."

Ling Chuxia was a typical southern girl, with a hint of softness in her voice that was comforting to the ear when she spoke relaxedly, gentle and soft.

As Ling Chuxia spoke, she unconsciously gestured over her own stomach, "Didn’t you hear what he said just now? His daughter asks him every day if he is ’pregnant’ like Mommy."

"Really?" Shi Che’s response remained indifferent, but the light in his dark eyes had gradually dissipated, leaving behind only a warm tranquility.

Seeing that Shi Che was not repulsed, Ling Chuxia naturally continued with more courage, "And then there’s Weiwei. She’s always been domineering, and everyone thought she’d be a successful career woman after graduation. But to everyone’s surprise, she was the first to get married and have kids right after graduating. Now she has two in three years and has become a full-time mom."

Ling Chuxia mentioned each classmate’s changes with a light-hearted tone, while Shi Che listened quietly, not saying much, but still occasionally responding with a word or two.

Since their relationship had soured, she hadn’t spoken so much in front of him, nor had he listened to her so quietly and without losing his temper for a long time. There hadn’t been such harmony between them for a long while...

The harmony was such that Ling Chuxia, while talking and reaching a funny part, couldn’t help but laugh, her lips curling up in a shallow smile, her large eyes shining with a bright light.

Especially when mentioning Li Qian, Ling Chuxia remembered how Li Qian had just fallen in public and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

While laughing, Ling Chuxia said, "Everyone has changed a bit, everyone except for Li Qian, who has never changed. She always insists on making trouble for others, and yet she is the one who ends up embarrassed. I wonder how she never tires of it."

Shi Che slightly turned his face, his gaze falling on Ling Chuxia’s face. She had drunk a little alcohol, and though not drunk, a blush had risen on her fair cheeks. Due to the excitement of her storytelling, her beautiful brows and eyes curved like the crescent moon hanging in the night sky.

Shi Che found himself involuntarily desiring to reach out and touch her face, to kiss her smiling eyes. But his hand hadn’t left the steering wheel before he gripped it tightly again. He pressed down hard on the desires within his heart. As he listened to Ling Chuxia talk about Li Qian, something crossed his mind, and after a moment’s hesitation, he still opened his mouth.

Shi Che’s thin lips parted as he spoke slowly, word by word, "Do you really think I’m just playing around when I’m with others?"
