Chapter 616: Happy Birthday

Chapter 616: Happy Birthday

Xiang Huai’s eyes darkened and he exuded an intimidating aura. “Who are you calling pitiful?”

The senior’s words got stuck in his throat. He took a few steps back. “Xue Xi, I’m waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!”

When he saw Xiang Huai take a step toward him, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran.

After he left, the rest of the people in the library looked over and discussed in private. They felt that they were speaking very softly, but Xue Xi had good hearing and heard everything they said.

“Is it really possible to develop a light source machine?”

“I think it’ll be hard. To be honest, I personally admire Sister Xi, but this thing is really too difficult.”

“Our country will definitely surpass other countries in the future, but after all, there is still a huge gap between our technologies. It will indeed be very difficult to complete.”

“…I personally admire Sister Xi for investing in this experiment, but I really don’t agree with her. If she doesn’t do it well, the losses will be too great.”

“Although I don’t have the capability to participate, I hope that she can really develop it and bring glory to China.”

“Me too, but let’s not harbor too much hope. This is giving her too much pressure. No matter how outstanding a person is, she is still a person. Sigh!”

“…”

Although everyone’s voices were soft, the atmosphere in the library was ruined.

Xue Xi looked at the time. She was in no mood to read anymore, so she stood up and said to Xiang Huai, “Let’s go.”

“Sure.”

Xiang Huai passed her the thermos flask in his hand and helped her pick up her bag. He walked beside her. After the handsome man and beautiful woman walked out of the library, the discussion in the library became even more intense and only calmed down after a long time.

…

Xue Xi walked on the stone path and hesitated for a while before asking, “Is my project really impossible to complete?”

Xiang Huai did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, “What do you think?”

Xue Xi frowned. “I’ve been reading a lot of information about integrated circuits these past few days, and I’ve also read a lot of information regarding light sources. I think it’s quite simple.”

Xiang Huai chuckled. “Mhm. Then just do it.”

Xue Xi nodded.

Xiang Huai continued, “If you don’t have enough money, you can look for Qian Xin. I’ve already informed him that you can use his funds without limit.”

Xue Xi paused and her heart warmed. “Oh.”

Xiang Huai asked, “Little kid, where are we going to next?”

Xue Xi pointed at the pavilion in the distance. “Let’s go there.”

Xiang Huai nodded. “Okay.”

The pavilion was older and had an antique feel to it. It was also the best place for couples to date. The two of them walked over and looked at the lake. The clear water made the area seem exceptionally quiet.

Just as Xiang Huai was thinking that the little kid was finally getting the hang of being romantic with him, he saw Xue Xi take out a book from her bag and slowly say, “This place is very suitable for reading.”

Xiang Huai: “…”

…

The two of them read all afternoon and had dinner together. At 9 PM, Xiang Huai reluctantly prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he suddenly said, “Last night, I saw the chatterbox get into Cen Bai’s car.”

Xue Xi casually replied, “Mhm, they slept together.”

After saying this, she took another two steps and suddenly sensed something. Turning around, she saw Xiang Huai standing behind her and looking at her with an aggrieved expression. “Little kid, they met later than us, but their progress is faster than ours.”

Xue Xi: “…”

Xiang Huai quickly took two steps and approached her. He reached out and touched her head before saying, “However, I can wait for you to understand.”

Xue Xi had always been a slow-witted person.

He’d waited for a year before this fellow finally felt tempted.

He would probably only be able to play with her balloons after another year.

At this thought, Xiang Huai’s eyes darkened. His gaze was heavy as it pressed on her, making her feel uncomfortable.

Xiang Huai sensed her discomfort and took a step back to maintain a distance before saying, “By the way, it’s my birthday today. Where’s my ‘Happy Birthday’?”

Xue Xi: “…Happy birthday.”

Indeed, it was a dry sentence. She did not even know how to throw in any additional words.

Xiang Huai sighed silently. After a while, he suddenly took out a box from his pocket and passed it to her.

Xue Xi was stunned.

She took it and opened it. There was a diamond necklace in the box. The silver chain reflected the moonlight and the diamond was very bright. One look and she could tell that it was of good quality.

Xue Xi looked at him in confusion and heard Xiang Huai say, “The little kid’s birthday was last March. This is a late birthday present.”

On Xue Xi’s birthday, she was preparing for the college entrance examination. Xiang Huai happened to be on a business trip and did not rush back.

Hence, on her birthday, Ye Li had only prepared a table of food and called the chatterbox, Little Flame, and the members of the Roaring Flame Society for a meal. There was no big fanfare.

Just as Xue Xi was thinking this, Xiang Huai took out the necklace. “I’ll put it on for you.”

“Okay.”

Xue Xi lowered her head and felt the man’s warm hands by her neck. Her head was buried in Xiang Huai’s chest.

The two of them were very close.

Perhaps it was because the night was too quiet, or perhaps it was because their actions were too ambiguous…

Xue Xi could hear Xiang Huai’s heart beating wildly. His heart rate was clearly very fast.

Because he was too close to her neck, the breath he exhaled landed on her neck, making the places she was touched feel as though they were being electrocuted.

Putting on a necklace took only ten seconds.

However, she, who had always cherished time and wished to split a second into half to study more, felt that time was moving too slowly.

Ten seconds felt like ten hours.

After Xiang Huai finally finished helping her put on the necklace and moved away, Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Her nervous body slowly relaxed.

Looking up again, she saw Xiang Huai say, “Very beautiful.”

She did not know if he was praising her beauty or the necklace.

Xue Xi lowered her head to look at the necklace and nodded. “Mhm, you’re also very handsome.”

Xiang Huai: “…”

The girl’s eyes were very bright. Her long red hair fluttered gently in the wind. He narrowed his eyes at her and chuckled. His gaze swept past her eyes, nose, and finally her lips. He then said, “Oh right, I’m going on a business trip for about two months.”

He really could not bear to leave her for two months.

However, he had no choice. There were some things that he had to do personally. He was not only Xue Xi’s Xiang Huai, but also China’s General Xiang!

He took out another bottle of medicine and passed it to Xue Xi. “If you miss me while I’m away, your heart won’t hurt. If you don’t want to miss me, then remember to take your medicine.”

The two of them were already in a relationship. Logically speaking, her heart should not hurt anymore.

However, the little kid was too heartless. Xiang Huai was really afraid that she would be so engrossed in her studies that she would not have the time to think about him. That would cause her physiological pain and require her to take medicine to suppress it.

Xue Xi took the medicine and replied, “Oh.”

He was going on a business trip.

It was to be for a month or two.

This thought made her suddenly take a step forward and grab Xiang Huai’s shirt collar. Xiang Huai thought that the little kid was going to hit him again, so he bent down and lowered his head. At this moment, soft lips landed…
