little jiang almost laughed out loud. did doctor xu think that his little boss was addicted to that kind of thing?
he held back his laughter.
duan linbai coughed heavily. â do you want to go to my company or my home? â
it wasnât illegal to be in a relationship, and it would be made public if someone saw it. duan linbai had always been an optimistic person.
xu jiamu hesitated. if they were seen at the office, their relationship would never be cleared. but at home ...
âdonât worry, my dad is in a meeting. my mom is probably out drinking tea and playing cards with the auntie.â
âthen letâs go to your house.â the companyâs personnel were complicated, and xu jiamu wasnât ready yet.
âhow many copies of the thesis do i need to print?â
â10 sets.â
âthen tell me the format requirements later, iâll do it for you.â after duan linbai said this, he suddenly felt that his A score was off the charts. he coughed twice and straightened his back.
*
duan family
the two of them didnât say anything along the way, but xiaojiang could clearly smell the sour smell of love in the air. when they arrived at the duan family, duan linbai even opened the car door for her like a gentleman.
âis there really no one in your house?â xu jiamu suddenly regretted it. why did she say she wanted to come to his house?
however, he had only given her two options at that time. now that she thought about it, she could totally say that she could find a printing shop outside. as long as it was not near the school, business should not be busy.
at that time, his mind was a little muddled and he didnât come back to his senses.
â there might be a cook or a cleaner here. donât worry, theyâre definitely resting now and wonât disturb us. â
xu jiamu didnât know whether to laugh or cry. she wanted them to disturb her, otherwise, it would be awkward.
âthen, little boss, iâll go back to the company first. call me if you need anything.â xiaojiang left quickly.
âletâs go,â he said. duan linbai drank his clear lemon tea and pushed open the door happily, but ...
xu jiamu had just taken a step forward when he heard a familiar voice.
âbaibai, why are you back so early today?â his motherâs voice made xu jiamuâs entire body freeze.
he had the illusion that he had been caught having an affair by his parents.
âmom, why are you home?â
at this moment, duan linbaiâs heart almost collapsed!
she was usually not at home at this time.
it wasnât easy for him to bring a girlfriend back. what the hell was he doing?
âisnât it your aunt and uncle who are here?â
duan linbai walked in ...
there were seven or eight people in the living room, men, women, old and young.
at this moment, his heart was really like a tsunami, with all kinds of curses.
apart from the chinese new year and festivals, no one would come to his house. why did they suddenly come together?
and his father was there too!
xu jiamu was even more embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
âmu zi?â lin yuxianâs eyes lit up when he saw the person behind his son. he seemed to have understood something. â what are you standing at the door for? come in. â
âhello, auntie.â xu jiamu saw that their state of mind was different from before, and they were a little shy and reserved.
âwell, old duan, look, whoâs here!â lin yuxian hurriedly called out to her husband.
duan songqiao was drinking tea with his relatives. he turned his head and glanced at his son, who was a little upset. he understood what was going on.
âdonât just stand there, come in and sit.â lin yuxian pulled her in with a smile, and when he passed duan linbai, he even gave him a look.
little brat, youâve hidden yourself pretty well.
after xu jiamu entered, he instantly became the focus of everyone in the living room.
â this is ... â a woman in her early 50s asked, â lin bai, your girlfriend? â
he brought a girl home, so their relationship must be unusual.
xu jiamu wanted to explain, but duan linbai had already nodded. â yes! â
âsheâs very pretty. what does she do?â it was the usual way relatives asked questions.
âiâm still unemployed. i just graduated this year.â duan linbai readily accepted her advice.
âyou just graduated? how old are you? an undergraduate?â xu jiamu didnât step into society, so he looked young.
âph.d.â
a certain someone said it very smugly, and his expression was clearly:
my wife is the best!
â not bad, professor ... â the duan familyâs relatives immediately whispered.
â thatâs right. sheâs also pretty and obedient. â
â he has such a high degree. he must be very smart. â
the duan familyâs relatives had masters, but no phds. xu jiamu instantly felt that they were looking at him like he was a national treasure, a giant panda.
the duan familyâs parents also laughed, as if they were also honored.
âwhatâs your major?â someone else asked.
âiâm a medical student,â xu jiamuâs voice was a little weak.
her hands tugged at her skirt, embarrassed and embarrassed. if she had known that there were so many people in the duan family, she would not have come.
âthatâs amazing. the score requirement is very high. how many points did you get in the college entrance examination?â
âjust a little past the line for one book.â xu jiamu coughed dryly.
these relatives were really envious of such a highly educated person. they looked at her with enthusiasm and envy.
âlin bai, bring mu zi upstairs first. iâll chat with your aunt and the others for a while.â lin yuxian laughed. she knew that xu jiamu was embarrassed, so she helped him out.
duan linbai immediately beckoned her to go upstairs.
when xu jiamu went upstairs, he could still feel the burning gazes of the duan familyâs relatives behind him.
âthis girlfriend is really not bad.â
â thatâs right. she looks obedient and speaks in a soft voice. â
âsong qiao, weâll be able to attend your wedding soon.â
â¦â¦
xu jiamu was so nervous that both her hands were sweating. after going up a flight of stairs, she turned a corner and left the duan familyâs relatives âline of sight. only then did she relax a little.
however, the next second ...
her tightly clenched fist was gently wrapped by someone.
she froze and looked at the person beside her.
âiâm sorry,â she said. duan linbaiâs voice was also very weak. â i really didnât know that i had relatives at home. â
âiâm fine.â now that things had come to this, xu jiamu couldnât say anything else.
â our relatives are easy to get along with, and ... â he coughed heavily. â they have a very good impression of you. theyâre just more friendly and donât have any ill intentions. â
xu jiamu bit his lip and didnât say a word. the main reason was that their relationship wasnât that close yet they even met relatives for no reason.
it was too awkward.
âmy parents have always liked you. donât be too nervous.â
âyes.â xu jiamu struggled a little, wanting to pull his hand away from his, but there were differences between men and women, so he held on even tighter.
âi ... i ...â
at this moment, her entire attention was focused on their intertwined hands, because the manâs palm was burning hot, covering the back of her hand.
the heat waves rolled and seeped through his skin ...
the warmth drilled into her heart.
âi quite like you too.â
his voice was soft, and it was a little choked up and trembling. it was obvious that he was extremely nervous.
xu jiamu looked at her in a daze. in a moment of daze, his fingers loosened slightly, and he took advantage of the situation to hold onto her, their ten fingers intertwined.
âletâs go up.â duan linbai held her hand and walked in front.
xu jiamuâs heart felt like it was about to suffocate, and then it went out of order ...
her heartbeat was in a mess, and she didnât know what to do.
she looked at the person walking in front of her and then noticed his ears ...
it was so red that it could drip blood.
the two of them clasped their hands tightly, and a layer of sweat oozed out. their hands were sweaty, but neither of them dared to let go.
duan linbai took a deep breath. â
he finally confessed. damn it, iâm still so nervous! his chest was about to burst open from the impact of his heart!
he was suffocating!
