At this moment, Jiang Xiao had just gotten off the plane.
Although because he was on the plane, he hadn’t been able to finish watching his girlfriend’s live broadcast, he could roughly imagine the situation in the stream and could guess the grievances and blows she would receive, so he directly came to find her.
He glanced outside. The snow had stopped long ago, leaving only a layer of snow on the ground.
He withdrew his gaze, hurriedly pulled out his phone, and saw the message his girlfriend had sent.
[Wife]: “Jiang Xiao, I want to eat some sugar.”
Seeing this message, Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment. After a brief pause, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
This was a message sent half an hour ago. Xi’er must be very anxious and uneasy right now.
Logically, he should reply to Xi’er immediately upon seeing the message, but he already had a better idea.
He quickly left the airport.
The voices of people discussing fell into his ears.
“Have you seen the trending topics? This is big news. How come there are so many human/demon monsters around us? So disgusting!”
“We can’t even find ATMs anymore, and now there are even more people trying to steal our men.”
“No, no, no, the important thing is that our male god has turned into a girl. Is Old Man Heaven trying to force us to change our sexual orientation? How is that even possible!”
“Oh, right, that one called Sugar-Dipped Lemon seems to be a girl too.”
“Too bad. Such a pretty Xiaonan Niang turned out to be a real girl!”
“I’m done. This world might as well explode.”
Hearing these words, Jiang Xiao stopped in his tracks and turned to look at them. Just then, those girls, who were dressed rather lightly, also noticed him.
Their faces originally showed confusion, but after seeing Jiang Xiao, slowly turned into surprise and astonishment.
“Isn’t this Sugar-Dipped Lemon’s good roommate? He’s even more handsome in person than in the videos!” a girl with a barrette in her hair said, looking at Jiang Xiao with an infatuated expression.
“But Sugar-Dipped Lemon already revealed that she’s a girl. Are those two really innocent?”
The curly-haired girl frowned and whispered to her friends.
“What are you thinking? That Lemon is pretty, but she used to be a guy. Could a guy actually go for his own good buddy?” The ponytailed girl pouted and also whispered, “Unless that guy was gay from the start and had feelings for that good buddy!”
“We are indeed currently in a very intimate relationship.”
Jiang Xiao heard it clearly and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the girls were all dumbfounded, thinking a lot about the words “very intimate.”
‘Does this mean he admitted they’re dating? Or am I overthinking it?’
On the other side, because she hadn’t received a reply from Jiang Xiao, Song Qiuyu was as restless as an ant on a hot pan.
After telling her parents outside the door that she was fine, she struggled for a while between calling or not, and finally chose to lie down on the bed.
Her black hair spread out on the thin bedsheet.
Her pink-white Lolita dress was slightly disheveled. Her two little feet, wrapped in white stockings, kicked off her slippers, stretched out, and gently crossed at the edge of the bed.
It was already very late now.
She wanted to force herself to rest for a while and closed her eyes.
But she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so she had to get up from the bed again.
Clutching her phone, she stared at the chat page that showed no response from Jiang Xiao and began to let her imagination run wild.
She had always known how dazzling Jiang Xiao was as a male, like the brightest gem in a crowd, attracting the attention of countless birds who wanted to take him away.
But she trusted Jiang Xiao.
So she was more worried that something might have happened to him.
After all, during the short-term holiday, someone stabbed her dad on the road.
‘Could it be that Jiang Xiao is in the hospital now?’
Song Qiuyu’s heart gave a sudden thump.
She held her breath. The more she thought, the less she could deny this possibility.
The more she thought, the more convinced she became.
In her mind, the terrible image of Jiang Xiao being stabbed by a villain and sent to the hospital by passersby involuntarily appeared.
At that moment, her nervousness reached its peak. Her small hands tightened around the phone, and she couldn’t help but want to try calling Jiang Xiao.
‘If I can’t get a definite answer, I might…’
Then, thinking about what happened in the livestream, new thoughts sprouted deep in her heart.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
“Honey, are you really okay? If there’s anything, you can tell Mommy.”
At the same time, Su Luo’s worried voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Song Qiuyu was taken aback.
She bit her lower lip lightly, then sighed, and said in a normal tone, “I’m fine. What could be wrong? I’m about to sleep now, Mom, don’t worry anymore.”
There was silence for two seconds outside the door, then Su Luo’s response and the sound of footsteps leaving.
Song Qiuyu frowned slightly, staring at the door for a long while before dropping her gaze.
Actually, it would be nice to talk to her mother, who had been through it.
But she still felt embarrassed to speak, because all her thoughts were just guesses, and at that moment, she also confirmed again—she really liked Jiang Xiao.
The temperature in the room seemed to suddenly become hot, but it wasn’t really the room that got hot—it was herself.
Song Qiuyu brushed the strands of hair from the side behind her ear.
Her slender hand casually gathered her long hair into a bundle, found a hair tie, and tied her hair up.
The back of her neck, flushed with a reddish color and a thin layer of sweat, was fully exposed.
She looked down at the background image of the chat page.
It was a photo of her and Jiang Xiao, a couple’s photo that she had only dared to set when she was on vacation at home.
She suddenly felt like she and Jiang Xiao were two trees growing side by side. If one tree withered, the other could not survive.
She hesitated for a moment, took a few deep breaths, then put down her phone, put on her slippers, stepped forward, and pulled open the door.
Instead of overthinking, she should practice drawing hearts with ketchup.
Now that her condition was public and she had told everyone her gender, the next step was to find a time to tell everyone that she and Jiang Xiao were in a relationship!
She really would date Jiang Xiao as a real girlfriend.
The next time they met, she would hand him a beloved wife lunch with both hands, and if possible, she hoped to feed him the first bite herself!
She skillfully adjusted her mood, put on a sweet smile, walked lightly to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out the ketchup.
She practiced for who knows how long, until she became so skilled that she could draw a beautiful heart even with her eyes closed.
She was getting a bit sleepy. She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and prepared to go back to the bedroom to sleep.
Just then, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated a few times.
Immediately after.
A light and cheerful ringtone started playing.
