Capítulo 1587: Chapter 1587: I’m Chasing You, Can’t You Feel It? (6)
“Pfft, you lost?” Xia Chuqing curiously looked at him.
It turns out, Xiao Mo’s past was far more exciting than she imagined, and he wasn’t the good student she used to think he was.
“You think I would lose?” Xiao Mo glanced at her.
“Narcissist.”
Thinking back to those youthful days, Xiao Mo found them quite amusing, though he did get into a lot of fights back then.
Later, he straightened out his life, got into a decent university, and followed Shen Chi through these years.
“I still have scars from those days, I’ll show you sometime.” Xiao Mo smirked.
“Who wants to see!” Xia Chuqing blushed, seriously.
But speaking of scars, she recalled the recent fight he had with Song Heng.
“By the way, you got hurt by Heng recently, does your wound still hurt?” Xia Chuqing asked with concern. “Though it doesn’t seem like you’re a match for Heng.”
“Only now you worry about my wound, back then you didn’t care at all.” Xiao Mo seemed a bit annoyed. “Who says I can’t beat Song Heng, I was just letting him off since he used to take care of you.”
“Did I say anything stupid when I got drunk that night?”
“You did.”
“…” Xia Chuqing gave him a suspicious look, “What…?”
“You wanted me to take you home, said you only feel safe with me.”
“…” Xia Chuqing was half in disbelief, did she really say that?
But Xiao Mo always seemed so sincere, she couldn’t tell if he was joking or not.
Damn it, she decided she’d never drink again, she never learns, and always ends up bumping into Xiao Mo.
Just as they were chatting, Manman woke up, hopping around in the car.
“Woof woof…” Manman barked.
“Come here, Manman, come play with me.” Xia Chuqing reached out and picked it up, “Did you just wake up? Hungry?”
Manman wasn’t hungry, just a bit bored.
“Are you taking it home?” Xiao Mo asked.
“Of course, you don’t know how to take care of a dog, can’t just leave it with you.” Xia Chuqing replied.
“This dog is meant for Mrs. Xiao Mo.” Xiao Mo said seriously.
“I know, I’ll take care of it for a couple of days and then return it to Mrs. Xiao Mo.”
“But now it’s attached to you, seems like it only wants you. What to do now…” Xiao Mo said earnestly.
“…” Xia Chuqing was speechless.
“Take it in, and you’re Mrs. Xiao Mo, it’s up to you.” Xiao Mo said.
“Shameless.” Xia Chuqing couldn’t help but curse at him.
Xiao Mo inexplicably felt much better, chatting with Xia Chuqing along the way, not a bit tired, but instead felt a lot of different emotions.
He had never talked this much to a woman before, let alone mentioned his youthful follies.
But he was willing to tell her.
In that moment, he wanted her to understand him more, to bridge the gap between them.
The reunion night was unusually quiet, and the road felt particularly peaceful.
Such a night was truly wonderful.
Xia Chuqing played with Manman, occasionally glancing at Xiao Mo, who was focused on driving.
He looked really handsome while driving, especially in this nighttime ambiance, his profile was striking and deep, his eyes distant, and his expression calm.
The car was warm, he didn’t wear a jacket, just a thin gray sweater, underneath which was a strong physique.
Sometimes, Xia Chuqing couldn’t help but glance at him.
But after looking too much, she felt it wasn’t real. How could such an outstanding, handsome man like her…
So torn and conflicted, Xia Chuqing simply bowed her head, focusing on playing with Manman.
Rarely, Xia Chuqing felt wide awake, continually chatting with him.
As night fell, Xiao Mo’s phone started ringing incessantly, with people sending him wishes.
In contrast, since switching to a new phone, Xia Chuqing’s was rather quiet.
Xia Chuqing looked at him with envy and disdain, Xiao Mo couldn’t help but laugh: “Reunion night, are you not going to say anything to me? Like a blessing or something.”
“Huh?” Xia Chuqing was momentarily lost, then realized, “I wish CEO Xiao’s career continues progressing, and family life is harmonious and fulfilling.”
“That’s quite heartfelt.”
“It’s obviously very sincere, okay?”
“Want me to bless you?”
“…” Xia Chuqing twitched the corner of her mouth, who does that, rolling eyes.
Xiao Mo laughed, his voice melodious and deep: “Then I wish you a smooth graduation and a husband as handsome and excellent as CEO Xiao.”
“…” Xia Chuqing rolled her eyes at him again.
“Are you hungry?” Xia Chuqing abruptly changed the subject again.
“Do you want to feed me?”
“…” Xia Chuqing looked at him with contempt.
“Are you hungry? If you are, I’ll find a restaurant, let’s eat first.” Xiao Mo said.
“Let’s eat then, you’ve been driving for a long time. Manman is hungry too!”
“Okay.”
After exiting the highway, Xiao Mo found a nice restaurant.
Though there weren’t many people, the restaurant felt very cozy, filled with the festive mood.
Xia Chuqing hadn’t expected to spend this reunion night with Xiao Mo; she never expected there would be such a day.
Xiao Mo, on the other hand, didn’t mind at all, ordering several dishes she liked, urging her to eat quickly.
While eating, the local residents began setting off fireworks.
Colorful fireworks shot into the sky, bursting into one beautiful petal after another.
Xia Chuqing looked up in surprise, contented, “Look, the fireworks are so beautiful.”
The sound of fireworks was loud, Xiao Mo heard her but pretended not to, loudly asked, “What did you say?”
Xia Chuqing also raised her voice, shouting, “I said the fireworks are beautiful!”
“Hm, I like you too!”
“…” Xia Chuqing saw the smug smile on his face and realized she’d been tricked again!
The big liar was truly a big liar! Full of tricks!
Manman ran around excitedly, sometimes circling Xia Chuqing’s feet, sometimes nibbling on Xiao Mo’s trousers.
In that moment, Xia Chuqing let go of all her unhappiness, wanting only to enjoy the present happiness.
What is it like to love someone? Probably that every moment spent together is joyful…
So, does she love him?
The answer is yes.
She had always loved him, fearing though that it was merely an elusive dream that would vanish with daylight.
She was afraid he was just momentarily interested, that he was just acting on impulse, so she dared not embrace it easily.
The fireworks continued to fly into the night, it wasn’t clear when Xiao Mo sat beside her, his large hand wrapping around her waist, watching the fireworks with her.
Xia Chuqing struggled a bit, but then gave up.
In that fleeting moment, she didn’t want to refuse the time that belonged to her and him.
Many people were watching the fireworks—Xiao Mo never cared for them, yet he enjoyed watching her, liked seeing her joyful smile.
To her, the fireworks were the most beautiful scenery, but to him, she was the most beautiful.
It was hard to say how long had passed before Xia Chuqing pulled her gaze back, softly asking, “Tired? Want to rest a bit before driving?”
