Chapter 173 -174 Grow Up Faster_1

Not wanting to engage in an idiotic conversation, the agent left directly, leaving Luo Hong with a dumbfounded look. After hearing what the agent said, Luo Hong found herself feeling a creeping chill on her back. The rules of the entertainment world had always been ruthless; was she falling out of favor before she even got a chance at stardom?

No! She refused!

With the end of this farcical commotion, having closed the Weibo webpage, she once again realized that some people really enjoyed making a fuss when they had nothing better to do. Did they actually think she had the time to entertain them?

Rubbing her somewhat sore shoulder, Xiaren had just placed her phone in her bag when it vibrated. The name on the screen was Si Limo.

As if her fingertips had been burnt, Qiao Xiaren picked up her phone, suddenly reminded of the fireworks that night, and the words he had whispered in her ear.

“Ranran.”

“Hm?”

Xiaren felt a bit uncomfortable but couldn’t say exactly why. Why did he suddenly start calling her Ranran?

This wasn’t right, as a person who had been reborn, she should be calm and experienced regarding emotions. But why did she feel so lost now?

After being in a moral dilemma for a while, Qiao Xiaren suddenly found relief. He had only said he would give her time to get used to this, he hadn’t forced anything on her.

That heart yearning for love might have already died. It was only a desert of barren grass left.

“Could you come out for a moment? I need to see you.”

Qiao Xiaren looked extremely calm: “Okay.”

Si Limo stood at the door, watching the thin figure emerge from the doorway, staring at the delicate side-profile. At that moment, he could only hear his own heartbeat.

“Why are you here?”

Qiao Xiaren came over with her friendly attitude, like that of an old friend. His towering figure stood there, with sunlight filtering in, hiding him in semi-darkness.

An old friend? The three words that sprang to mind filled him with a sense of discomfort.

This is not the feeling he wants.

He stared at the petite figure that held infinite strength; from time to time, he could see a sense of desolation and loneliness.

Sometimes, he felt distressed by the loneliness and solitude. Clearly, such a frail body, but she never yielded.

Si Limo moved forward, as if he had rehearsed this movement thousands of times before, and enveloped her in his arms.

“Si Limo.”

The overpowering smell of male hormones engulfing Qiao Xiaren as it hit her nostrils.

“It has only been a few days, but I miss you so much, what am I to do?”

Hearing his words, Xiaren’s expression didn’t change much, her voice calm: “Si Limo, what is it that you like about me?”

“I don’t know.”

This question seemed to have taken him by surprise. Seeing his speechlessness, Qiao Xiaren lifted her cold expression and stepped back.

“You can’t even state what you like about me, yet you still think you like me?”

Having died once due to a man in her past life, Qiao Xiaren would not suffer the same fate again. Her heart was already seared; she would never dare to give it away lightly. Even those who professed to love could turn their backs and hurt her, let alone those who couldn’t even explain why they loved her.

“But, I only like you; I only love you. How do you explain that?”

“What if… what if I can never fall in love with you?” Qiao Xiaren looked at him, shaking her head, “Now I don’t even know how I should interact with you.”

Si Limo’s gaze flickered, his brows slightly furrowed. Perhaps it wasn’t the right time to confess his feelings. He regretted it, as it made their interactions slightly awkward.

However, since he had already confessed, did she really think she could escape him? Since she had silently acknowledged his feelings that night, she no longer had an opportunity to escape.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”

As Qiao Xiaren turned to leave, she suddenly felt herself getting lighter; Si Limo had taken her by surprise and hoisted her up over his shoulder, striding away.

The sudden change in perspective startled Qiao Xiaren, and her normally cold demeanor cracked.

“Si Limo, what are you doing?”

Regardless of Qiao Xiaren’s struggles, Si Limo effortlessly hefted her into the car.

“Si Limo, let me go! Have you gone mad? We can be photographed!” For the first time, Xiaren’s emotions surged uncontrollably, the proximity between the two now so close their breaths intermingled.

“I’m not mad, we won’t be photographed, no one would dare.”

Since he had confessed before she even fell in love with him, he had to abandon his gentle approach. In any case, he had won her over and she wouldn’t be able to shake him off.

“Si Limo, are you sick?” Xiaren was even colder now, but he didn’t seem to care, holding her even tighter.

“No.”

Qiao Xiaren’s fingers were trembling slightly; she didn’t know what she was feeling.

For the first time, she was feeling powerless. She realized that this man was unbearably stubborn.

Fine, fine, could he just let her down first?

“Si Limo, when did you become so straightforward? And a little bit bad.”

Si Limo raised his head, a devilish smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: “When chasing my wife, of course I can’t take it lightly.”

Qiao Xiaren had regained her usual calm, her lazy laugh a little faint: “Really? You think it’s a contest? Are you sure you can win me over? I’m not someone who gives up easily.”

“Of course.” Si Limo lifted his hand, poking her chest position, showing a carefree attitude, “Believe it or not, this place is mine. You’re destined to come to me. I only need three years.”

“Then we’ll see if you have the capability.”

Si Limo’s pupils deepened, a faint smile spread across his exquisite face: “Alright, be sure to keep my blanket warm then.”

Qiao Xiaren parted her lips, laughing: “I’d rather warm your head, I’ll kick you away. A man who gets KO’d doesn’t deserve to stand beside me.”

Finally, the matter was laid out in the open. The awkwardness that Qiao Xiaren felt that night was finally resolved. He had said it himself: it was a contest.

“Okay, I’ll be waiting.” Si Limo laughed, his chest heaving, his eyes sparkling, “I’m looking forward to seeing how you will come to me.”

She’s still too young; he won’t use too aggressive measures on her. So, this three-year promise will definitely not be breached.

His dark eyes held hazy radiance, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Grow up quickly.
