After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

Song Zhixing: "Let's add each other on WeChat."

They didn't ask if it was okay, they just said they wanted to add it.

His expression was as natural as if he were just casually asking if someone had eaten.

Lin Xuechun was taken aback, not expecting the big shot to ask for her WeChat, but instinctively refused, "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, my phone isn't with me."

There are only a few reasons why a guy asks a girl for her WeChat; she's not so naive as to not see through his intentions.

Fortunately, her phone was in the backstage dressing room, so she could use that as an excuse to refuse without offending the big boss.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhixing simply pulled out a business card and handed it to her: "My phone number is my WeChat ID. Add me when you get back."

Now Lin Xuechun couldn't refuse.

Accepting the business card is one thing, refusing it is another.

She hesitated but accepted the call anyway, since whether she added the other person back home or not was beyond their control.

But if I don't answer now, the other party will definitely be embarrassed. They are a big shot, someone the teacher repeatedly told me not to offend.

Lin Xuechun held the business card in her hand.

As soon as she lowered her hand, Xi Chenzhou walked past her without even glancing at her, his face indifferent.

Lin Xuechun's breath hitched slightly.

After they started dating, she got used to him always paying attention to her and caring for her. So when he suddenly became so indifferent, she found herself unable to stand it.

The awards ceremony began soon.

First, the guests gave speeches, followed by the announcement of the awards.

As expected, Xi Chenzhou won first prize in the algorithm application competition, as well as the Best Algorithm Innovation Award.

The award-winning students stood in a row on the podium.

The guests presented the awards, and Lin Xuechun stood beside them holding a tray with the medals.

When Lin Xuechun walked over to Xi Chenzhou, she glanced at him discreetly. The other award-winning students all had bright smiles on their faces, but Xi Chenzhou had no expression on his face. His eyebrows and eyes were dark and indifferent, and his whole aura was low-key and nonchalant.

Lin Xuechun glanced at him a few times, but he didn't look back. Lin Xuechun's face showed a hint of disappointment. She looked away and followed the award presenter off the stage.

The moment she looked away, Xi Chenzhou's gaze followed, landing on the back of her slender, white neck.

So will she add Song Zhixing?

His eyes darkened, and his lips tightened.

After the awards ceremony ended, Lin Xuechun finished packing and was about to go backstage to change when another hostess took her things and said, "The auditorium's electrical box is under maintenance, so the changing rooms are unusable. Go back to your dorm to change."

The dressing room was temporarily used as a room backstage, and the electrical box happened to be in that room.

"Thank you." Lin Xuechun took the shopping bag containing her clothes and shoes, along with her phone and small handbag.

The auditorium cleaners started cleaning and urged them to leave. Lin Xuechun didn't have time to change her shoes, so she had to carry her things out.

The crowd outside had mostly dispersed, so she walked to the door and saw Xi Chenzhou standing there.

He must be waiting for her, right?

She hesitated for a moment, then walked over. Seeing her approach, Xi Chenzhou naturally took the bag from her hand, his expression indifferent: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Although he took the initiative to speak, Lin Xuechun still felt uneasy.

"Whatever," she said.

Xi Chenzhou glanced at her. "Can we go to my place? I'll cook for you."

"Okay." Lin Xuechun agreed, but she stood there without moving, her eyes fixed on him.

Once she gets used to that clingy, affectionate relationship, she becomes very sensitive to even the slightest bit of coldness.

She's a high-needs person in relationships.

Lin Xuechun pursed her red lips, puffed out her cheeks twice, and remained silent.

She was pondering the reason for his sudden coldness.

Xi Chenzhou looked at him, his eyebrows twitching slightly: "What's wrong?"

Lin Xuechun raised her hand and tugged at the drawstring of his hoodie collar, her voice soft: "Are you unhappy?"

"No," Xi Chenzhou replied softly, his heart inexplicably softening. She had actually sensed that he was in a bad mood.

Lin Xuechun tugged at the drawstring at his collar again, aligning both sides, and said while playing with the metal clasp of the drawstring, "I haven't added Song Zhixing on WeChat, and I've thrown away his business card."

I don't know if that's the reason.

She guessed it herself.

I just wanted to explain it to him.

When Xi Chenzhou heard her say those words, his lips, which had been tightly clenched, immediately relaxed.

So was she trying to coax him?

My heart felt like a piece of it had collapsed, so soft and tender.

"Baby."

He called out softly, put one arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

Lin Xuechun held onto the drawstring of his hoodie, tilted her head up to look at him, and sensed that he was in a better mood now. "Are you still angry?"

Xi Chenzhou lowered his eyes to meet her gaze. "I'm sorry, baby. I was really unhappy just now because you accepted his business card."

"That's really the reason," Lin Xuechun said with a smile. "He's a VIP at the school, and I'm afraid of offending him."

After saying that, she glanced around and, seeing that no one was around, she became bolder. She wrapped her arms around his waist, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "Don't be angry anymore, okay? I want a hug."

She pressed her face against his chest.

She nestled into his arms.

This gesture completely melted away Xi Chenzhou's temper, leaving him feeling incredibly sweet inside.

His baby is so good at comforting people.

"Okay, I'll carry you." He smiled and took a step back, leaning down slightly. Before Lin Xuechun could react, he lifted her up with one arm, his arm supporting her firmly under her thighs. She sat on his arm, just like that, being carried up.

Suddenly lifted into the air, Lin Xuechun cried out in fright, instinctively wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and pressing her chest against his cheek.

"Hold the baby tight."

Xi Chenzhou's high nose bridge touched a soft, fragrant mass. He carried her bag in one hand and lifted her up in the other.

The staff quarters are quite close to the auditorium; it's just around the corner.

There's more than one way to the family quarters, and at this time there aren't many people on this road.

Xi Chenzhou carried her forward with one arm.

His arms are so hard, it feels like sitting on a hard bench, but they're so sturdy that he can lift her up with just one hand.

Lin Xuechun straightened her back, and the cheongsam she wore stretched taut, making her waist and hip curves even more prominent. To maintain her balance, she had to hug Xi Chenzhou's head tightly, her softness pressing against his cold, hard face and nose.

He would walk a few steps and then poke her with the bridge of his nose.

The poke made her face turn slightly red, and her thoughts drifted.

Xi Chenzhou wasn't much better off; his breath was filled with a soft fragrance, making him want to bury himself in it. He tightened his arms around her, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.
