Chapter Twenty-Three: Will You Look Back at Me?

"Huh?"

I touched the cup of hot cocoa and looked at him inexplicably.

And Zhang Xiao didn't dodge, staring at a pair of shining eyes and nodding firmly.

"Yes, with me. ”

"Why?"

"Because I told my uncle about our current relationship. ”

"What does it matter? I have nothing to do with you, okay, don't talk nonsense!"

I panicked and hurriedly raised my arm to escape from the confined space in the car, but accidentally knocked over the hot cocoa in my hand, and in an instant, a yellow-brown liquid gushed out, successfully turning my brand new white down jacket into dross.

"Ah!! my clothes!"

I pushed the door open, tugged at the down jacket on my chest, and let out a scream.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiao also panicked, he turned over and got out of the car, took out a wet tissue from the trunk, and handed it to me.

"Wipe it quickly, and have you been burned?"

"No, no, no. ”

Looking at Zhang Xiao's anxious expression, I realized that I might have overreacted, and hurriedly waved my hand to deny.

But Zhang Xiao didn't seem to be relieved of my denial, but kept staring at me with the co-pilot's door. That's the way I looked, and I almost didn't get my hands on it.

I was a little nervous at him, so I pushed his arm with my hand. "Oh, don't look at it, I'm fine, it's your car, what should I do?"

I looked at the co-pilot's footpad with a sticky brown liquid and frowned slightly.

"It's nothing, I'll just go to the car wash and clean it up later. It's a pity that your clothes can't be saved. ”

Zhang Xiao closed the co-pilot's door disapprovingly, deliberately blocking my view.

I wiped the down jacket for a long time, but I still couldn't remove the stains left by Cocoa, and the wet feeling stuck to my chest made me very uncomfortable, and I had no choice but to take off the down jacket.

The cold wind of the north is so easy to compromise, and as soon as I take off my armor, it rolls up its sharp weapon and attacks me.

Snorting, I shrunk and hugged myself with my arms, and after a fierce "hiss" of cold air, I said to Zhang Xiao: "Big brother, can you take me back to the hospital to change clothes?"

"No, I can't. Zhang Xiao shook his head decisively.

“……”

"It's all at your doorstep, why don't you go back and change it?"

“……”

I didn't know how to explain to him the reason why I didn't go home, so I used Comrade Lao Qin as a shield.

"My dad wouldn't let me go home, she said I was busy. ”

Although Comrade Lao Qin did say such things on the phone, this reason was obviously too far-fetched.

"Are you busy now?"

“……”

I didn't expect Zhang Xiao to block my retreat with just one sentence, if I was really busy, how could I appear in the underground parking lot of my community!

"Come with me!" he said, taking off his coat and draping it over me, pushing me in the direction of the elevator.

The moment the warm clothes mixed with the faint smell of tobacco fell on my shoulders, I don't know why, but I inexplicably felt a sense of security.

I looked back at Zhang Xiao, still with that familiar face, but instead of the usual smirk, it was a little resolute.

I think I must be crazy, because I actually think Zhang Xiao is extremely handsome at this time.

After waiting for the elevator, I finally reacted from the nymphomaniac, "Wait, wait...... I have something to say. ”

"You speak. Zhang Xiao let go of the hand that was holding my arm and smiled calmly at me.

"I quarreled with my family, and then said that I wanted to be independent and never go back, if I appeared inexplicably now, what a slap in the face!"

I flicked my wide sleeves in frustration and quietly turned my back, covering my slightly red face.

It's such a shame to confess or something!

I don't know why, Zhang Xiao actually covered his mouth and secretly laughed after listening to my confession, and his shoulders shook even more.

I already felt ashamed, but when I saw him laughing like that again, I went up and stepped on him hard in anger.

The sound of "whoosh" made my heart feel a lot more comfortable.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"You deserve it!" I glanced at him viciously, and wrapped my coat tightly around myself.

"Little conscienceless, how can you take revenge?"

It was supposed to be a reproachful sentence, but it came out of Zhang Xiao's mouth. inexplicably brought some pampering.

He rubbed his aching feet, which I had stepped on, and then took me out of the elevator.

"Forget it, for your cuteness. I won't embarrass you. Let's go, take you to the clothes shopping. ”

"Huh?"

I don't know how things turned to this point, anyway, when Zhang Xiao and I arrived at the gate of the mall, our heads were still in a state of panic.

After Zhang Xiao gave me the coat, he only wore an elderly sweater inside, and when the cold wind blew, I clearly felt the shaking of his body.

But he didn't say anything, but picked up the collar of the coat he was wearing on me and shoved it into my neck.

"It's cold, dress tightly. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

I nodded, craned my neck and walked briskly into the mall.

I don't know when, I've gotten used to Zhang Xiao's intimacy with me.

Fortunately, the heating in the mall was turned on very much, so my body quickly warmed up, and when I looked back at Zhang Xiao, it was obvious that there was no tightening just now.

At this time, I realized that his figure was actually very good, with a black turtleneck sweater and khaki slacks, and against the backdrop of his slender figure, he actually wore a little elite feeling.

In the past, I always thought that Zhang Xiao was a second-year young man, addicted to comics, and couldn't extricate himself from games. But after getting along for a long time, I found that he has his own principles, generous, empathetic, and quite caring.

Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through my mind, I might be able to try it with Zhang Xiao.

Thinking of this, I secretly tilted my head to look at him, and he was also looking at me with a smile.

In order not to be discovered, I forced the warmth on my face and said indifferently: "Let's go to that store and have a look, their down jackets are of better quality." ”

"Good. Zhang Xiao smiled, and then followed my footsteps.

The process of buying clothes was very fast, mainly because I was afraid of delaying too much Zhang Xiao's time, so after entering the store, I casually tried on a black down jacket, and after I thought it was suitable, I took it to the cashier and was ready to pay.

This time, I had a heart, so when Zhang Xiao took out his card and rushed to pay, he intercepted it directly from the air and stuffed it back into his pocket.

"Little sister, use this card to settle the bill. ”

I raised an eyebrow at him and made a triumphant gesture. As a result, Zhang Xiao directly turned his head and chuckled.

The young lady who checked out seemed to treat us as a couple, and when she opened her mouth, she boasted, "You guys have a really good relationship." However, this down jacket also has a couple's model, do you want to take a look? ”

I just wanted to open my mouth to explain, but Zhang Xiao directly took over the conversation.

"Is it the white one?"

Looking in the direction that Zhang Xiao was pointing, sure enough, there was a white down jacket with a similar style hanging next to my black down jacket.

"Sir, you have a good eye. Would you like me to try the right size for you?"

The checkout lady seized the opportunity and worked hard to sell.

I don't know if Zhang Xiao did it on purpose, but he suddenly asked my opinion.

"Do you think I look good in white?"

"It's not pretty. I replied nonchalantly. Apparently didn't want him to try on that down jacket.

If he didn't mean it just now, then it must have been intentional at this moment, because before my words landed, he took the white down jacket in the hands of the sales lady and put it on his body.

Look in the mirror while wearing it.

"I think if a dress looks good or not, I still have to try it on my body. Siyu, what do you think?"

“……”

Now, no matter how stupid I am, I can hear the implicit meaning of his words.

So I turned around and returned the black down jacket.

"Little sister, I don't think I think it's suitable for black, so I want to try another one, okay?"

"This ......"

The young lady may feel a little embarrassed, and looked at Zhang Xiao with a pleading look in her eyes.

And Zhang Xiao didn't disappoint her, and went directly to the cashier counter with a white down jacket.

"You don't have to return it, wrap both of them!"

"Okay. ”

The young lady sold two pieces of clothing at once, and without saying a word, she got busy, and after a while, the two shopping bags fell steadily into Zhang Xiao's hands.

Probably because of the merchant's deliberate thoughts, even if the clothes are couples, the two shopping bags are actually couples. A boy and a girl have a big red heart drawn in the middle, and it is difficult for people to ignore it.

Because it was Zhang Xiao's money, I didn't have the face to take it away and return it to buy another one, so I could only walk out of the store awkwardly wearing Zhang Xiao's coat.

"Why are you angry?"

Zhang Xiao saw my unhappiness, and took three steps and two steps to catch up with me who was in a temper, and persuaded me softly.

"No!" I threw out two words coldly, and continued to move forward awkwardly.

"Alright, alright, since you've bought new clothes, can you put them on? And since you don't like me to buy the same clothes as you, can I give you the white one to wear?"

I don't know why, I always feel that Zhang Xiao is like coaxing a child now. It always makes me feel guilty for being vexatious.

In the end, I simply stopped being angry and looked at him in a daze.

"Zhang Xiao, did you do it on purpose?"

"Huh, what on purpose?"

"Deliberately causing unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

"Yes. ”

I never expected Zhang Xiao to nod so frankly, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't you want to know why I went to your house today? I told my uncle that I had you off lately, so I came to him for help. As a result, my uncle, who is usually kind to me, almost beat me out without a broom. He said that he only has one daughter from you, and he has been spoiled since childhood, and even if it is your fault, I should not make you angry. ”

"Although I was beaten, I agreed with my uncle's idea, so I wanted to continue to pamper that lovely little girl for him. I want people to know that little girl is mine. ”

"So, Siyu, since you don't want to go home, can you look back at me?"
