Xi Chenxiao frowned. He did not know why, but when he was young, he had an indescribable fondness for this girl and always wanted to be close to her. But now, he hated being too close to her and he didn’t have the patience he once had.

Xi Chenxiao tried his best to resist the urge to leave, and said expressionlessly to Bai Xue, “Okay, just ten minutes. I need to rest.”

Xi Chenxiao was very impatient. Perhaps it was because this girl had saved him once that he was willing to endure the disgust in his heart for a little while. He could accompany this girl who had been hurt and became as timid as a mouse for a short while.

When Bai Xue saw Xi Chenxiao agree, she immediately smiled and said happily, “Thank you, Brother Xi. You’re too kind. I’ll be good.”

Xi Chenxiao sat at the side and frowned. All he wanted to do now was to quickly rest and then rush home as quickly as possible tomorrow to see Su Jin. Xi Tian was speechless. He couldn’t understand how Bai Xue could say what she said. He, a tall and strong man, was standing guard by her side. Why was she still scared?

The other bodyguards were also speechless. There were so many people here and they were working shifts to protect her 24/7. What’s she afraid of? She’s not scared. It’s obvious that she was just trying to seduce Chairman Xi. What a b*tch. But the chairman was already married and this b*tch had nothing on Madam.

Meanwhile, Su Jin went straight home after school. After dinner, she washed up early and laid down to rest, keeping a healthy daily routine. The next day when the morning sun shone into her room, Su Jin was still asleep when her phone suddenly rang.

She groggily reached out to find her phone and once she found it, she placed it by her ear and said unhappily, “Who is this? You had better give me a reason.”

Hou Wan’er held her phone in frustration when she heard this. This fellow, Su Jin, was still sleeping at home, and yet she spoke so arrogantly. It seemed that she had been spoiled for too long and needed to be taught a lesson but today wasn’t the day to teach her a lesson.

Hou Wan’er asked in surprise, “What? You are still in bed?”

Su Jin was very confused when she heard this. There was nothing to do today, so why did she have to wake up early? Xi Chenxiao was also not home, why should she wake up so early? Hou Wan’er also didn’t say that they were shopping or something today. Did she need to make such a big fuss? Besides, Hou Wan’er knew that Su Jin loved to sleep since young.

So, Su Jin replied unhappily, “Why can’t I sleep in?”

Actually, Su Jin did not mean to sleep in. It was just that recently, she had gotten used to letting Xi Chenxiao hug her to sleep. She felt a little lonely when he’s not around. She couldn’t really sleep. Although she went to bed early, she tossed and turned all night, not feeling sleepy at all.

Hou Wan’er replied helplessly, “Su Jin, did you forget that today is the semi-finals of the piano competition?”

“There are so many experts, aren’t you nervous?”

“How can you still sleep?”

When Su Jin heard this, she suddenly remembered that today was the piano competition’s semi-finals. But what did this have to do with sleeping in? As long as she could make it in time, it would be good to sleep a little longer! There was nothing to be nervous about anyway. She would just play as she normally would. If there were really some contestants who were better than her, there’s nothing she could do anyway.

Su Jin replied lightly, “What’s there to be nervous about?”

Hou Wan’er was furious when she heard this. How could this girl be lazy at a time like this? Did she forget about their bet? If this continued, Su Jin would probably lose in the end. Hou Wan’er didn’t want to win the bet so easily.

However, when Hou Wan’er thought about Su Jin’s skills, she said a little angrily, “Can you not be so arrogant?”

“So, you are skillful. Do you need to rub it in?”

Su Jin chuckled. She played as she normally would the last time and didn’t put in additional effort. Although there might be more experts in the semi-finals, Su Jin believed that as long as she played like she normally would, she’d be fine and make the top three.

Su Jin rubbed her eyes and said confidently over the phone, “What do you think?”

Hou Wan’er didn’t know what to say when she heard this. Su Jin’s skills were indeed amazing. Talent couldn’t really be suppressed. She obviously didn’t work hard, but she was still amazing. Hou Wan’er had been working so hard, but she’s still so nervous.

At the thought of this, Hou Wan’er sighed helplessly, “Yes, please go ahead and rub it in!”
