Chapter 509: Chapter 508: Can You Please Not Report Me?

Xiao Qimo paused again.

Feeling the light force on his lips and the faint aroma of alcohol entwined around her fingertips, he wasn’t intoxicated by the smell but by the gentleness between her fingers.

The man’s lips moved ever so slightly.

Lu Mian withdrew her fingers as if electrocuted and pursed her lips, lowering her head.

After calming her breathing, she looked up and quietly gazed at the man opposite her.

A sudden pang hit Xiao Qimo’s heart.

“Director Qimo, if I had never seen the sun, I could have withstood the darkness.

Having returned from hell, I’ve never had any extravagant hopes for love or marriage.

I’ve always understood that a terrible person like me doesn’t deserve to be liked by others.

My only wish has been to live alone, surrounded by a handful of good friends.”

“But as you gradually infiltrated my world, I found the scenery under the sun equally enchanting.

I don’t know when it started, but my body’s pH value has always been less than 7.

I don’t know from which moment, but I began to murmur your name repeatedly, like a recurring decimal.

If feelings are abstract, then the reaction of my body gives me a clear answer.

My heart races every time I see you; dopamine begins to release; adrenaline secretion skyrockets.

I can’t deny it, I have feelings for you, different from anything I’ve felt for anyone else…”

If it weren’t for the ring around her neck, she might have died from her rapid heart rate long ago.

Lu Mian’s words drifted tenderly and lightly into Xiao Qimo’s ears.

The man watched her intently, his eyes slowly thawing from their previous coldness, pupils dilating, with a blend of immense surprise and disbelief hidden in his tenderness.

If this is a dream, it is far too wonderful.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, he shot a look at Mo Si and mouthed “record.”

Mo Si gave an OK gesture.

.cO

His recording job hadn’t stopped for a second from start to finish!

Lu Mian, her gaze lowered, didn’t notice their subtle exchange.

Her mouth felt dry as she wet her lips.

It was her first time expressing her heart so directly and verbosely, feeling very uncomfortable and somewhat cramped.

Her toes tapped on the ground more rapidly as she softly added, “Big Brother says not to believe in men’s sweet nothings.

So, I’ll be the one to say these words.”

As long as she said them, Xiao Qimo wouldn’t be the kind of man Big Brother spoke of!

“Director Qimo, I’m sorry…” She began embarrassingly, “I might have to break the school rules.

Could you…

not report me?”

Ha…

The fact that she was still mindful of school rules at this time surprised Xiao Qimo again with her way of thinking.

Yet, this time, it filled him with genuine pleasure and happiness!

He looked at the girl with her head bowed slightly and burst into laughter, a laugh that turned into a hearty and refreshing chuckle.

What could be more joyful than to see the clouds part and the moon shine brightly?

He stepped forward and took the embarrassed little girl into his arms, embracing her so deeply and firmly.

“You little rascal!

You really are a little rascal!” he whispered lowly.

His doting tone was mixed with a bit of grinding teeth, irritated at her, blaming her, yet holding her even more tightly in the end.

He knew she was drunk, he knew once she woke up, she would forget all of this.

But he was immensely grateful for this bout of drunkenness which let him see clearly what was in her heart.

It turned out that there were some things she didn’t want him to say not because she forbade it but because she wanted to protect his reputation.

This silly girl!

“Director Qimo…”

Lu Mian was embraced so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

Snuggled in his arms, she could hear his heart pounding rapidly and smell the clean, crisp scent that was uniquely his.

Unable to describe the aroma, she could remember it deeply and forever in her mind.

At that moment, she finally understood the word “like” as Shen Yixin described it.

She had finally managed to appease him.

Lu Mian, not accustomed to such an embrace, felt embarrassed as she struggled to push Xiao Qimo away slightly, took a step back, and still asked very formally, “Director Qimo, you still haven’t told me if you will report me or not?”

“…” Xiao Qimo was rendered speechless by her thought process but couldn’t help it; after all, he liked her just the way she was.

“I plan to plunge into depravity with you, so I won’t report you.”

“Ah…” Lu Mian smiled with a smile, “Principal Zhang is going to be furious.”

“I’m not afraid.”

Xiao Qimo gave a gentle smile, probably the most frequent and clearest one in his twenty-two years.

Even Mo Si, standing beside him, couldn’t stop wiping away his tears.

Dog food tastes good!

Enough!

Why isn’t Mo Nie here?

Why isn’t Mr.

Ye here?

In the end, it was he alone who bore everything…

But Mo Si was perhaps thinking too much, he wasn’t that pitiful.

Inside the doorway of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, Shen Yiyao and Shao Yunxuan stood there, not coming out.

The two of them were stunned as they listened to the man and woman confessing in the snow outside.

No matter how they feigned ignorance or refused to believe, they knew that the one who had been moved from the start was Xiao Qimo.

Especially Shen Yiyao.

Just listening to Xiao Qimo’s words, she seemed to see the man Lu Mian had described before.

The stranger she had never met.

It turned out that even such a cold person could have a childish side.

It’s just that Xiao Qimo reserved that side for Lu Mian.

Shen Yiyao was deeply hurt, her drunken haze leading her to collapse on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

She had thought that Lu Mian was a gold digger and that Xiao Qimo wouldn’t have feelings for her.

She thought she still had a chance, but now it seemed that the one unwilling to let go was Xiao Qimo, while the one who was late to realize was Lu Mian.

She had even laid the foundation for their relationship…

Shao Yunxuan looked down at Shen Yiyao, somewhat at a loss.

She was too worried to comfort Shen Yiyao, her own anxiety only increasing.

Why was Lu Mian so lucky to catch Mr.

Xiao’s eye!

If Lu Mian really married into a wealthy family, would she expose Yunxuan’s lies?

Would it affect Yunxuan’s own prospects?

With these thoughts, Shao Yunxuan grew even more uneasy.

aEUR”

Outside, Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian were still gazing into each other’s eyes.

The man took one last deep look at the girl in front of him, so reluctant to disturb this warm moment that he savored the feeling for as long as he could.

His heart was already full to the brim with her tenderness and words, happiness coming so unexpectedly.

This was probably the most beautiful scene he had ever witnessed in his life.

The man gently stroked the girl’s tousled hair with his large palm and then adjusted her trench coat collar for her.

Finally, he stretched out his hand, his brows and eyes brimming with good spirits, his voice tender, “Let’s go, I’ll truly take you home this time.”

Lu Mian stared at his palm, and just as she was about to reach out her hand to hold it, she suddenly remembered her injured left hand.

She held back, pursed her lips, and went around Xiao Qimo, heading silently towards his car.

Xiao Qimo muttered “little rascal” under his breath, then followed her.

Behind them, Mo Si: Woofed a woo?

Miss Lu, do you remember the adorable little Mo Si who came with you and got car sick because of your driving?

No one remembered him.

Xiao Qimo didn’t even give him a glance and chased after Lu Mian’s departing figure instead.

The two of them walked one after the other through the snow, with red walls and green tiles on both sides and white snow on the ground.

They walked further and further away, like stepping into a beautiful landscape painting.

Mo Si scratched the back of his head: The snowflakes flutter, the north wind howls.

But thinking about the Xiao Family’s reaction when they returned, he also spread his legs and happily ran back home.

This time, Boss Mo finally succeeded in his pursuit!
