She tried not to laugh, but the car was already parked downstairs. Qin Xiaotao got out of the car and looked up at the window of her room. There was no light on, and Lin Lin still hadn't returned.

"Thank you for bringing me back. "Hey, by the way, what are you looking for me for?"

Shen Xi Ming walked in front of her and was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "It's fine, you can go up."

"Well, that weekend?"

"You tell Zhixi."

Qin Xiaotao nodded. "Alright, I'll be going then."

Just as he turned around, a golden-haired boy, riding a bicycle, rushed down the slope and shouted, "Getout of this, please, oh, no, no …"

Qin Xiaotao turned around and saw a bicycle charging straight at her. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of her eyes. She wanted to dodge it, but her body couldn't react fast enough.

Just as they were about to collide, her body suddenly became light, and she instantly moved backwards. She felt herself colliding into a firm chest, and she subconsciously held tightly onto his clothes without landing on him.

After a while, he felt the grip around his waist loosen. Then, he heard Shen Xi's voice from above his head, "It's done." As she spoke, she patted her back in a comforting manner.

With her nose filled with the faintly discernible smell of mint, Qin Xiaotao raised her head only to see Shen Xi's chin. She was really too close, she could even see a few stubble that had just emerged from her hair.

Upstairs, she saw his sexy lips slightly curling up, and realized that she was still tightly hugging him in an ambiguous position. Her palms were soaked with sweat, but she was still grabbing onto his clothes.

Qin Xiaotao's face turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly withdrew herself.

At this moment, the bicycle finally stopped not far in front of them. The person riding it looked like a high school student, and upon seeing that they had almost bumped into someone, his white face was completely flushed. As he gasped for breath, he said to them, "Sorry, solry, didyougothurt?"

Qin Xiaotao waved her hand. "No, I don't." Although it was very dangerous just now, seeing that the other party was still a teenager, she did not intend to reprimand him harshly.

"Becarefulnexttime." Shen Xi Ming didn't seem to be angry.

The youth seemed to be relieved as he nodded his head and said, "Sosorryand thankyou." Then he turned and walked away.

The two of them were the only ones left. Remembering her previous predicament, Qin Xiaotao heaved a sigh of relief. "Um, thank you for that."

Shen Xuming put his hands in his pockets, calmly looking at her, "Do you still feel safe in London?"

"Hmm?" This, this, this can be related?

She had a thousand questions in her heart, but she managed to squeeze out a smile on the surface. "Hur hur, it seems like, it really isn't safe."

Feeling the burning sensation on her face, Qin Xiaotao quickly lowered her head, praying that the night sky would cover her annoying embarrassment.

However, it was clear that the heavens were not willing.

"Seep? "It's really you. Didn't you say that you were looking up information at school? From the looks of it, you clearly went on a date. Did I disturb you?" As she spoke, she smiled at Shen Xi Ming.

Qin Xiaotao closed her eyes in frustration. What a coincidence, she had just met Punlin. Just as she was about to explain, Pu Linlin extended her hand. "Hello, handsome man. My name is Pu Linlin, I'm Little Chen's roommate."

Shen Xi Ming extended his hand to shake it, "Hello, I'm Shen Xi Ming." I heard Miss Pu is Korean. She speaks Chinese very well. " He still maintained his neither fast nor slow speed of speech, neither cold nor hot tone.

"Haha, that's because my mother is Chinese. I've been speaking Chinese with my mother since I was young, so I'm also considered half Chinese." Pu Linlin was a warm and cheerful girl. She was familiar with everyone else. Yet, even when she faced the expressionless Shen Xuming, she was still able to laugh out loud. Qin Xiaoshui was truly impressed by her.

However, this was not the time to admire him.

"Um, Big Brother Shen, we'll be going back first. I'll go back and make an appointment with Xi Shi later."

"Brother Shen? "Wow, Qin Xiaohai, why don't you invite your big brother Shen over to our house?" Then, as if she had discovered a new continent, she said, "Oh, little seep, why is your face so red? "It can't be that they did something bad, right?" She smiled at Shen Ximing.

Shen Xi Ming leaned against the door of the car, his lips curled up in a smile as he looked at Qin Xiaohai. He didn't seem to want to explain himself.

"The wind is blowing. Let's go. He still has things to do." He pulled her along as he walked down the corridor, afraid that she would say something else.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's the rush …" Pu Linlin's protest was ignored and she dragged him upstairs.

The corners of Shen Xuming's mouth were slightly raised. He watched as the two figures disappeared down the stairs, then watched as a light was turned on in one of the windows upstairs. Then, he turned around and got into the car, driving to Ye Chengming's residence.

Qin Xiaotao arrived at the coffee shop she had arranged beforehand. Before she entered, she wanted to wait until she saw Shen Xuming, then recalled the awkwardness of that night. She took two deep breaths, trying to build a mental state for herself, calm down, don't let your imagination run wild.

After calming his breathing, he walked into the coffee shop. The moment he entered, he saw Qi Yanxi waving at him.

Beside her was Ye Chimu, and on the other side was Aunt Luo Min and Aunt Luo Min's husband, Kevin. He scanned his surroundings, but didn't find Shen Xuming.

She heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, but in another corner of her heart, a faint sense of loss emerged.

Aunt Luo Min, with her usual enthusiasm, asked her about her family's situation, her current studies, and even invited her to play at her suburban home during the holidays.

Due to Aunt Luo Min's enthusiasm, from beginning to end, Qin Xiaotao and Qi Yaxi didn't say much to each other. When they parted ways, Luo Min and her wife left first. Qi Yan helplessly said, "Aiya, I didn't even tell you a few words. When are you free next time, let's go shopping together." In the days I've been in London, my brother only knew how to paint and didn't show me around. "

What she had said was not false. Other than the day she had arrived, Ye Cheng had taken her to have a meal, and was indeed rushing the painting drafts from now on. He had no other choice. The publishing house had just finished talking, so he had to seize this opportunity.

Qin Xiaotao quickly ran through the schedule for the next few days in her mind. Although it was very busy, she could still squeeze out the time she needed.

Just as she was about to say something, Qi Yanxi said: "Forget it. I know you guys are busy, so I'm going back home." The faint sense of loss in those words fell into Qin Xiaojing's ears.

Qin Xiaotao felt guilty. This was indeed the busiest time for her. She felt guilty about this playmate of her childhood.

"Zhixi, if you want to go shopping, can you do it tomorrow night?" But I may only have two hours. "
