Chapter 013 Gradually Increasing Temperature
The turmoil in Wang Hao's heart was only momentary.
They understand basic social etiquette.
Although his expression was still a little stiff, he still smiled and introduced, "Qi Ye, this is my partner, Zhang Qian. Qianqian, this is my high school classmate, Lin Qi Ye, and... this must be your sister-in-law?"
Wang Hao's gaze swept over Bai Muxi.
Zhang Qian, Wang Hao's partner, is a girl who seems somewhat honest and simple.
She looked at Lin Qiye with curiosity, and when she saw his tall and handsome appearance, her eyes lit up and a shy blush appeared on her face.
"Hello, Lin Qiye, hello sister-in-law," Zhang Qian greeted politely.
Bai Muxi nodded slightly in response.
Lin Qiye smiled and nodded, "Hello, Wang Hao, Zhang Qian. This is my partner, Bai Muxi."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Lin Qiye took the initiative to speak, "We just finished eating and came out for a walk. What about you?"
"We came out for some fresh air too," Wang Haoqian replied with a smile.
"Alright, we won't bother you any longer, we'll be going now." Lin Qiye said, then took Bai Muxi's hand and left.
"Okay, okay, let's talk another day," Wang Hao quickly replied.
The two passed each other.
After walking a distance, Zhang Qian couldn't help but tug at Wang Hao's sleeve and whisper, "Haozi, your classmate and his partner look so good together! The guy is handsome, and the girl is beautiful. They're a real sight to behold."
His tone was full of envy.
Hearing this, Wang Hao felt even worse, but he put on a nonchalant smile and put his arm around Zhang Qian's shoulder, saying, "Hey, everyone has their own taste. To be honest, I don't like girls who are too skinny. In my eyes, you're the prettiest when you're a little chubby, and it's comfortable to hug you!"
As he spoke, he gently pinched Zhang Qian's waist.
Zhang Qian burst out laughing at his words, her blush deepening. She lightly punched Wang Hao's chest and scolded, "You're so annoying! You always know how to sweet-talk me!"
Although she said that, the smile and satisfaction in her eyes were unmistakable.
What woman doesn't like to hear sweet words?
Especially when compared to her partner, who could say such things, it made her feel incredibly happy.
Looking at the happy smile on Zhang Qian's face, Wang Hao's sense of imbalance quietly dissipated.
He thought to himself, "So what if my partner is beautiful? In the end, we still have to live a down-to-earth life."
In his view, the more beautiful a woman is, the higher her standards and the more demands she makes, making her more troublesome to serve.
Just like Lin Qiye's partner, he looks like the aloof, arrogant, and difficult-to-get-along-with type.
Maybe he has a really bad temper in private!
Unlike her own Zhang Qian, who is gentle, considerate, and family-oriented, she seems like a good woman who can make her feel at ease living a peaceful life.
Only with a woman like this can life be comfortable.
"That's just how people are, contentment brings happiness," Wang Hao comforted himself. "The most important thing is to be comfortable with yourself."
He put his arm around Zhang Qian's shoulder and said gently, "Come on, Qianqian, let's go check out that place. I heard there's a new dessert shop that's pretty good."
……
On the other side, Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi continued their stroll in the neighborhood.
Although Bai Muxi's face still carried a hint of coldness, she never let go of Lin Qiye's hand.
Lin Qiye could sense her subtle emotional changes, and he found it somewhat amusing.
"Mu Xi," Lin Qiye suddenly asked, "did you...rarely come out like this before?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi was slightly taken aback, then shook her head and said softly, "Yes, I used to spend most of my time cultivating, or... worrying about tuition fees."
Her tone was flat, revealing little emotion.
But Lin Qiye could imagine the hardships she had endured in the past.
A young girl, burdened with enormous debt, still had to persevere in her martial arts dream. The hardships and pressure she endured were beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
Lin Qiye gripped her hand tightly and said firmly, "It won't happen again. With me here, you just need to focus on your cultivation."
Bai Muxi's body trembled slightly as she turned her head to look at Lin Qiye's serious profile.
The streetlights shone on his face, outlining his clear features, and his bright eyes shone with a reassuring light.
Her heart skipped a beat.
An inexplicable feeling, like spring rain, silently nourished her long-parched heart.
She didn't speak, but simply hummed softly and rested her head slightly on Lin Qiye's shoulder.
A gentle night breeze, carrying a hint of coolness, could not dispel the growing ambiguity between the two.
