Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 71 71. Gardenia, white petals
"Fear?"

Lin Xiao chewed over these two words, his face full of disbelief.

"But, don't you always sleep alone?" he asked.

"Um……"

Han Xixi nodded timidly and whispered, "I've always been scared!"

Lin Xiao was stunned.

For a moment, my heart felt like it was hit.

In front of him, Han Xixi raised his head again, and his big eyes reflected a bright light.

She asked him hopefully, "Brother Lin, can you not leave?"

Lin Xiao's throat felt itchy from the question.

He swallowed hard and nodded, "Okay..."

Han Xixi's eyes suddenly lit up and he jumped for joy.

"Really?!"

"I can't fool you... Just sleep on the sofa, it's better than sleeping on the floor!"

"Uh……"

Han Xixi was a little embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Brother Lin, how about you sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the sofa..."

Lin Xiao waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, can I still let you sleep on the sofa?"

Then he frowned again: "It doesn't matter where I sleep! The key is that I didn't bring pajamas. I drove all night last night, and the ones I'm wearing are all rotten..."

Han Xixi laughed joyfully, his eyes as lively as a deer.

"I have it!"

"what?!"

"..."

Han Xixi didn't explain. He ran to the room and quickly took out a set of pajamas.

Lin Xiao felt that the person looked familiar no matter how he looked at him.

"Isn't this my dress?!"

"Um……"

Han Xixi was embarrassed and confessed his guilt. "It was the outfit you gave me when I first went to your house... I felt very comfortable wearing it, and I slept very well that night, so when I left the next day, I secretly folded it up and put it in my bag..."

Han Xixi's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, looking guilty as if he had been caught in the act.

On the other side, Lin Xiao was amused.

Okay, okay, I said I couldn’t find this outfit after that day, and I thought I had just stuffed it somewhere!
It turned out to be stolen!
He couldn't help but smile, and then asked doubtfully: "Since it's comfortable for you to wear, why don't you wear it to sleep normally? Wouldn't you be able to sleep well this way?"

Han Xixi frowned and did not respond.

That was what she had thought when she stole the dress.

But when she arrived in Haicheng, in her own apartment, she still couldn't sleep after changing into Lin Xiao's clothes.

Only then did she realize.

What made her sleep peacefully was not her clothes, but the person in the same room with her...

On the other side, Lin Xiao realized her unspoken thoughts and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm going to take a shower..."

It's even more embarrassing to say this.

He scratched his head and hurried into the bathroom, where Han Xixi gave him a new toothbrush.

As the shower rushed down.

His hot scalp cooled down, and his wandering brain nerves quickly returned to normal.

After taking a shower, Han Xixi took over and he went to clean up the kitchen.

Wait until Han Xixi finishes washing up.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

The two of them lay down, one in the bedroom and the other on the sofa.

All the lights in the house were turned off, but the bedroom door was open, and they could hear each other's uneasy breathing.

Lin Xiao couldn't sleep.

I slept too much during the day and now I don’t feel sleepy at all. I feel like the heating is really making me uncomfortable.

In the bedroom, Han Xixi didn't make any sound, but Lin Xiao knew that she was not asleep either.

"Xixi?" he called softly.

"...Hmm?" A response came from the room.

"Why do you like the scent of gardenia so much?"

Lin Xiao asked. As early as when Han Xixi moved into his house, he had smelled the faint scent of gardenia on her several times.

When I arrived at her house today, the fragrance was even more obvious.

I just took a shower and found that the shower gel, shampoo, and even the toilet cleaner in the bathroom are all scented with gardenia.

Han Xixi is definitely a heavy lover of the gardenia scent.

Hearing him suddenly ask this, Han Xixi in the room was a little surprised, and in the cover of the night she blushed unrestrainedly.

"I just... like it!"

"Is it related to 'Later'?!" Lin Xiao guessed.

"Um?!"

Han Xixi was shocked, "How did Brother Lin know?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "You became famous by singing this song. There's a line in the lyrics: 'Gardenia, white petals, falling on my blue pleated skirt'... I guess this might be the reason!"

Han Xixi pursed her lips and suddenly became very excited.

It’s a little happiness to have someone guess the answer to a riddle!

"Brother Lin, you guessed right... It's because of this line of lyrics that I started to like things with a gardenia flavor!" she admitted.

"Oh!"

Lin Xiao responded, and then asked inexplicably, "So, you can't forget your first love?"

In the room, Han Xixi was stunned.

"Ah? Brother Lin...why are you asking that?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Xiao's voice rose a degree.

"Of course not... I don't even have a first love..."

Han Xixi's voice became smaller, as if he felt that this was a very embarrassing thing.

Lin Xiao's expression brightened.

"'Later' is about first love. I see you like this song so much that it even changed your own preferences because of the lyrics... I thought you couldn't forget your first love, haha, hahaha, hahahaha..."

Lin Xiao became more and more embarrassed as he spoke, and even the thick darkness could not suppress his inappropriate question.

Han Xixi smiled calmly: "I didn't think too much about it. I just liked this song and the lyrics, and then I happened to buy a gardenia-scented shampoo... and then I couldn't stop!"

Lin Xiao nodded, not knowing why he was so happy!
"That Brother Lin!"

After a long silence, Han Xixi suddenly asked, "...Do you have a first love?"

The house fell silent.

This was the first time they talked about relationship issues since they met.

Before, both of them kept to the boundaries of friendship and talked about many topics, but they never asked about feelings.

But this time, Lin Xiao accidentally crossed the line, and then Han Xixi crossed back without any hesitation.

Their sense of propriety slowly disappeared in the darkness.

Sure enough, bad things have to happen at night.

"I... guess so!" Lin Xiao hesitated for a long time and replied.

"Calculate?!"

"There was a girl who pursued me in college!"

Lin Xiao did not hide anything and responded openly, "She pursued me very passionately. I did not agree at first, but later I thought she was a nice person, so I agreed to confirm our relationship. But before we even held hands, she dumped me!"

"ah??!"

Han Xixi was incredulous, "How could this happen... Doesn't she like you?"

Lin Xiao shrugged: "Who knows! But it's good. After graduation, I stayed in Ninghai and became a small civil servant with no future. She went to Haicheng and heard that her career is developing very well! We made completely different life choices. It was right not to be together back then, otherwise we would have broken up sooner or later!"

Speaking of his ex, Lin Xiao felt a little touched.

It’s not that he’s still obsessed with this girl, but he’s still feeling aggrieved about his experience of being “suspected of being dumped”!

In the room, Han Xixi did not respond.

"Xixi?" he called out.

"…I'm going to sleep. Good night, Brother Lin!"

"Oh...good night!"

Lin Xiao was confused: Why did the atmosphere suddenly become gloomy again?

He didn't think much and slowly fell asleep under the warmth of the heater!

In the bedroom, Han Xixi couldn't sleep.

I feel very low.

"Compared to that girl, it seems that the life choices made by Brother Lin and I are even more polar opposite..."
