Chapter 443 Application Rejected
"From now on, you'll have me."
"Shaoqing, as long as you don't leave me, I, Su Zijin, will never abandon you."
Her voice echoed in his ears. Looking into the sincere eyes of the girl he loved, Li Shaoqing felt a sudden lump in his throat.
He subconsciously wrinkled his nose, and the next second, his face was suddenly covered by her warm palm.
Su Zijing cupped his face in her hands, gently wiped away his tears with her thumbs, and tenderly leaned in to kiss his lips in comfort.
"I'm here, I've always been here..."
So, darling, please don't cry, okay?
Li Shaoqing felt the coldness of her fingertips and realized that he had unknowingly shed tears.
But before he could react, her lips made him freeze in place.
This is... their second kiss.
Li Shaoqing's eyelashes trembled incessantly.
Slowly raise both hands,
She slowly but firmly embraced the person in front of her.
He parted his lips slightly and took her soft lips into his mouth.
……
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid
......"
The music coming from the television gradually faded, and all their movements and sounds were magnified infinitely as they drew closer.
The night is still very long.
……
Since they started practicing for the third part of the driving test, life has become routine. Su Zijing goes to practice with Li Shaoqing during the day, while the others do their own thing.
During this time, Su Zijin would occasionally browse short videos and keep up with current events.
I also browse various live streaming rooms, and I'm generous with my tips when I encounter interesting streamers.
For a time, many streamers started broadcasting around the time she was expected to go live, hoping to catch her.
Su Zijing only found out about this when Xia casually mentioned it during a video call with her, when they were talking about interesting things that had happened recently.
The day after Su Zijing and Li Shaoqing successfully passed their driving test, Luo Ling left.
After learning of his recovery, his mentor immediately canceled his vacation, requiring him to return to Beiping as soon as possible.
Su Zijing overheard the phone call and it sounded like they'd discovered some new virus...
Su Zijing thought for a moment, but her memories of her past life were already blurry.
However, she guessed that the virus probably didn't break out on a large scale last time, otherwise she should have remembered such a big event.
She still remembers the earthquake that took her life.
However... this life is different after all.
With her as a butterfly around, it wouldn't be surprising if something else really happened.
Su Zijing only had the thought in her mind and didn't take it to heart.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, it was impossible to buy a suitable plane ticket. The only available tickets were for the next two or three days or for one or two o'clock in the morning. So Su Zijin simply arranged for a private plane to take him there.
3 PM, at the airport.
Luo Ling hugged the smiling girl in front of her tightly, breathing in the unique floral fragrance that belonged to her.
"Xiao Yao, I will finish the work as soon as possible, so don't forget me."
Su Zijing rubbed her face against his firm chest muscles, squinting her eyes as she spoke.
"No, don't overthink it."
"Work hard in the past, but remember to eat on time. I don't want to see you thinner next time I meet you."
Luo Ling has the biggest pectoral muscles among them, which she likes very much. It would be such a pity if her pectoral muscles shrank and became less tender because she didn't eat on time.
After living together for so many days, she noticed that when Luo Ling got engrossed in looking at documents, he would forget mealtimes and she would always have to call him, which made her a little worried.
Luo Ling didn't know her true thoughts, but hearing her concern for her made her heart feel like it was being soaked in honey water. A warm and sweet sensation spread through her veins to her limbs and bones.
"I get like this when I'm busy, but don't worry, my assistant will call me when it's time to eat..."
At this point, he changed the subject.
“If you’re really worried, Xiaoyao, you can call me to remind me yourself.”
As he spoke, he looked at her with some anticipation.
Su Zijing hesitated for a moment.
"Won't this bother you?"
After thinking about it, Luo Ling decided to give up the benefit.
After all, if you're doing some important experiment or analysis and your train of thought is suddenly interrupted by a phone call... it's bound to give you a headache.
Moreover, his phone may not always be with him at times.
"Okay, then I'll request two hours of video calls every night."
Su Zijin: "...Application rejected."
"At most one hour."
Luo Ling smiled helplessly and tentatively asked, "Is it really impossible to make an exception a little more?"
Su Zijin's stance was very firm: "No."
Xia only has one hour of video call time each day, and Luo Ling is no exception.
As the 'head of the household,' one must treat everyone equally.
Luo Ling knew about this, but he was just testing the waters. If he succeeded, great; if not, he wouldn't be too disappointed.
Over the course of these days, he also discovered that she treated all of her boyfriends without favoritism.
She is very fair in her dealings with everyone; she treats all boyfriends the same, regardless of the order in which they were born.
Those same people have inexplicably formed a united front these past few days and are secretly ostracizing him.
Luo Ling felt helpless, as if she had wasted her time watching "Empresses in the Palace" and "Beyond the Realm of Conscience" during that period of inner turmoil.
They seemed to accept being just one of Xiaoyao's many boyfriends, and had no intention of 'competing for her favor' at all. On the contrary, they got along surprisingly well.
Unfortunately, he had only recently returned to China and didn't understand even after watching TV dramas. He didn't know that sometimes, subtle tricks to please Su Zijing were the real way to win her over.
As for why Luo Ling knew they were secretly ostracizing him?
He discovered by accident that they had secretly created a small group chat, but not only did they not invite him to it, they also did not include him in the evening shifts to spend time with Xiao Yao.
He only discovered this when he went upstairs to talk to Xiao Yao that night.
Because of that incident, he moved to the third floor the next day.
At the same time, they also strongly expressed that they also wanted to be scheduled for shifts.
It was only then that Su Zijin learned he had been ostracized. She felt sorry for him and found it funny at the same time, so she put him in a number in the group chat.
When she spoke, Mu Yan and the others naturally had no objections.
They originally just wanted to teach the new troublemaker a lesson, but they didn't expect it to actually push him out.
Speaking of which, Luo Ling's appointment happened to be today.
