ATBLM [QT] Chapter 130.1

Hello, guys!!! I want to give an announcement!

As New Year is around the corner (in the next few hours), I could not do an update because my relatives will come to visit my house in the next few days. 

I will be back on Jan 3rd or 4th (maybe)… Hehe… <( ￣ ≧￣)>

Anyway, I will be back soon. Don’t miss me so much~~ (-‿◦)

And…

Happy New Year 2024, everyone!!! See you next year!

Xing Yan just got off the plane, went home, and changed his clothes. Then, he bought a bunch of flowers and went straight to the orchestra building.

In the past, he felt sour when he heard people say that a day without seeing her was like three autumns. But this time, he went on a business trip and did not see the little beauty for two days, which really made him feel like he was having a hard time.

And he can’t call her yet. Because the relationship between the two of them is barely friends of the opposite sex. They are still far from being able to call her as he pleases and tell her that he misses her.

So, he thought about it during his free time in the past two days. He felt that gradual progress was necessary, but he should also strive for a change in his identity. Otherwise, he would really be suffocated.

Jiang Rui looked at the delicate flowers delivered to her and hesitated for a moment before taking them, “Thank you, but Mr. Xing should not spend any money in the future.”

Xing Yan smiled and took out the bunch of small pendants. This little thing bought him two opportunities to meet her. Now, it’s time to return it to the owner. After all, the same routine would make people suspicious if it was used too much.

“The flower is to apologize to Miss Shen for my bad memory.”

Jiang Rui put the pendant back into the bag, shook her head, and said, “Mr. Xing had good intentions, so there is no need to apologize for this.”

Seeing her serious retort, Xing Yan really wanted to squeeze her rosy cheeks. It took a lot of effort to calm down the hands that were about to move, “It’s still early, find a place to sit?”

“Well…” Jiang Rui said, “I made an agreement with Grandma yesterday to go home early today and cook dinner with her.”

“That’s it.” Xing Yan looked a little disappointed and quickly said, “Then, at least, allow me to send Miss Shen back.”

When one request had already been rejected, people were often embarrassed to reject the second one, especially when the request was not excessive.

Mr. Xing finally got his wish and was able to take the little beauty home.

Jiang Rui was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a tulip in her hands, with the pink petals just touching her chin. She lowered her head to smell the fragrance of the flowers from time to time.

“When will there be a performance in the near future?” Xing Yan turned around and asked her between the red lights.

He happened to see the little beauty with half her face buried in the bouquet. It was hard to tell which one was more beautiful, the delicate petals or the stunning profile.

Hearing the question, Jiang Rui raised her head and said, “The new movement will premiere next Saturday at the Grand Theater.”

In addition to pink tulips, the bouquet was also paired with baby’s breath and star flowers. The petals were sprinkled with water. When she came closer to smell them, a star flower petal stuck to her eyes. The blue petals added a delicate look to her cold face.

Xing Yan saw it in his eyes and took a few more glances before he stretched out his hand very naturally and took off the petal. He scratched her fair cheek with his thick-knuckled fingers and took it back as if nothing had happened.

Looking at his calm and composed look, people who did not know it would really think that it was unintentional.

He smiled and said, “I’ll join in the fun at that time.” As he spoke, he observed her expression calmly and judged in his mind how she would react to his touch.

Jiang Rui turned her face uncomfortably and just hummed.

Xing Yan raised a corner of his mouth. Although the little beauty looked uncomfortable and unaccustomed, at least, she wasn’t disgusted. This was good news for him.

As for what you are not used to, you will naturally get used to it if you touch it a few times.
