Chapter 776: Brother, This Is Good Too
“I’m glad you think so. Xiao Wei has good grades and has always been in the top three of his class. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask him. He’ll definitely teach you patiently, right?”
Xiao Yang said as he gave Xiao Wei a look. Xiao Wei coughed lightly. “Little Jiu is now the top student in the school as well. She probably doesn’t need me to teach her.”
“Number one?” Xiao Yang was pleasantly surprised. “Little Jiu is so amazing. In that case, my silly son doesn’t have to teach you. Why don’t you teach him?”
Amused, Su Jiu replied, “Uncle, he doesn’t need me to teach him.”
“Who says he doesn’t? He’s more introverted and doesn’t know how to talk to people. You’ll have to teach him that. You’re a lot livelier and more cheerful than he is.”
Xiao Wei was immediately embarrassed and quickly took another sip of water.
But Dad is right. Sometimes I feel too introverted. If only I had Han Siye’s courage.
Su Jiu turned to look at him and smiled. “Brother Wei is very good like this. He’s gentle and refined. I feel very comfortable interacting with him. There is no need for him to change his personality.”
Xiao Wei was stunned. He immediately turned his head and met her smiling clear eyes.
His heart lurched, then he began to blush.
Little Jiu, is that a compliment?
She still has a good impression of me, doesn’t she?
This was good for him. Xiao Wei didn’t want to be like Han Siye and tell Su Jiu what was in his heart directly. He didn’t want to hear her reject him, nor did he want her to distance herself from him as she did to Han Siye. Therefore, it was good for them to maintain their current relationship.
Soon, the waiter brought the menu over and handed it to Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang took it and passed it to Su Jiu. “Little Jiu, Uncle is treating you today. Order whatever you want. You’re welcome.”
“Okay. Thank you, Uncle!”
After the waiter served the steak, Xiao Wei took the initiative to cut it and placed the best part on Su Jiu’s plate.
Xiao Yang, who was opposite him, was immediately heartbroken.?Look! This is the son I painstakingly nurtured. In the end, his mind is all on girls. He did not even look at me, let alone cut my steak.
Hmph, it would be fine if this kid can marry Little Jiu in the future. If not, I would laugh!
***
The lunch ended an hour later. Xiao Wei deliberately ate much slower than usual to spend more time with Su Jiu.
Su Jiu felt anxious, wondering where the little villain was now. She glanced at her cell phone from time to time. He had not called or sent a message.
Xiao Wei picked up a napkin and elegantly wiped the corner of his lips. He looked at her and asked, “Do you have something urgent?”
Su Jiu came back to her senses and laughed dryly. “It’s nothing. A friend is coming over. I have to pick him up later.”
Xiao Wei’s expression changed slightly. “A friend?”
Yeah, friend.
Xiao Wei fell silent.?The friend she is talking about is that Rong Si, right?
Although he wasn’t sure, his strong intuition told him it was. He could tell from Little Jiu’s expression that he was someone she cared about.
Xiao Yang could tell that something was unusual and asked curiously, “A friend? Little Jiu, who is it? Do I know him?”
She smiled at him. “I don’t think so.”
“Oh… so, is it a boy or a girl?”
Su Jiu was suddenly embarrassed. “Boy.”
“Just friends, huh?”
Chapter 777: The IQ of a Little Villain
Su Jiu nodded. “He happens to be studying here. We haven’t seen each other in a long time, so we’re going to meet up.”
When Xiao Yang saw Xiao Wei lower his eyes to hide the complicated emotions in them, he understood something. He sighed in his heart, but still smiled and said, “In that case, you’ll be leaving soon right? Uncle wanted to take you to the movie theater, but let’s talk about it next time. When the time comes, call your father along. I haven’t seen him in a long time, and I miss him.”
“Alright. I’ll help you ask Daddy once he’s done with his work.” Su Jiu agreed.
Xiao Wei was in a low mood. He adjusted his mood and pretended to be nonchalant. “Little Jiu, where are you going to pick him up? Do you need us to send you there? This is your first time here, right? If you go alone, you might get lost.”
As he spoke, his lips curved into a faint smile. His eyes and voice were so gentle that Su Jiu suddenly felt guilty.
Actually, she also knew what Xiao Wei was thinking. Just like Han Siye, she could not give him what he wanted.
She already felt bad about eating with him. How could she ask him to send her there?
Su Jiu shook her head. “No, Brother. I’ll just have Xinyan’s driver take me there.”
Xiao Wei did not force Su Jiu. He smiled and said, “Okay.”
***
After leaving the restaurant, Su Jiu returned to her hotel room. Half an hour later, she received a message from Rong Si. “I’m at the airport. Where are you?”
He has already arrived?
Su Jiu suddenly felt a little excited and inexplicably nervous, like a little girl who wanted to meet her boyfriend.?Bah, what am I thinking now?
The little villain isn’t even mine yet.
She quickly replied, “I’m at the hotel. Shall I pick you up from the airport?”
“Tell me the hotel address. I’ll be there.”
Alright.
The little villain is most likely worried that I’m unfamiliar with the place and would get lost.
Isn’t he worried about getting lost himself?
However, Su Jiu felt that her thoughts were unnecessary. With the little villain’s intelligence, he could probably memorize a map. How could he get lost?
Su Jiu had no choice but to give Rong Si the hotel address and go to the lobby to wait for him. Another half an hour passed, and a taxi stopped by the roadside. Su Jiu saw everything and could not help but sigh at the charm of the little villain. Wherever he went, he would stun the people around him.
Rong Si was still wearing a simple white shirt and black pants, but he looked especially good. He could totally be a male model.
At this moment, he also saw Su Jiu. His eyes darkened as he walked toward the hotel entrance.
He stopped when he reached her, his dark eyes fixed on her. Then he reached out and pinched her cheek. “Good girl.”
Su Jiu would have described his actions as doting. However, when she heard him say that, a question mark slowly appeared in her mind. “…?”
“What?”?Why did he suddenly say that?
Rong Si felt the softness and warmth of her face with his fingertips. A smile seemed to appear in his eyes. “You’re waiting for me obediently.”
Su Jiu gasped.
Hiss, the little villain is so provocative!
Chapter 778: Do You Want to Live With Me?
Her brain short-circuited. She blushed and stammered, “I… I’ve always been obedient!”
Rong Si’s lips curved. “Sure.”
His smile was so beautiful that Su Jiu forced herself to return to her senses and ask, “Big Brother, how long are you planning to stay here?”
“I’ll leave when you go back.”
Carefully, Su Jiu said, “Have you forgotten that I’m on summer vacation? I’ll be here for ten days to half a month without leaving. Are you staying here with me?”
“It’s not impossible.”
“Your professor might get angry.”
Rong Si intently looked at her. “That’s not important.”
She was the most important person in his heart other than his mother. It was rare for her to come over to visit him, so of course, he had to focus all his attention on her. Everything else was secondary.
Su Jiu suddenly smiled. “That’s good. Big Brother, are you staying in this hotel too?”
Rong Si nodded.?Naturally.
If he could live next door to her, that would be so much better.
However, when they reached the front desk, the receptionist said that the hotel rooms were all booked and there was no way to check-in.
“Fully booked?” Su Jiu was instantly disappointed. After some thought, she turned to Rong Si and said, “Big Brother, there’s another hotel nearby. It’s not far from here. Why don’t you stay there?”
Rong Si said nothing. He seemed reluctant.
The receptionist sized the two of them up and said to Su Jiu, “Are you dating this boy? You booked a double room. If you’re a couple, you can stay with him.”
Su Jiu was stunned.
Stay together?
However, it could work. This was a good time to develop a relationship with the little villain!
“She’s right, Big Brother. I do have a double room in that room. Do you want to stay with me?”
The little girl blinked her big, clear, innocent eyes. It was impossible to imagine that she had any evil intentions. Instead, he was worried that she would suffer.
Rong Si stared at her in shock. “Stay together? Seriously?”
“I’m serious! Big Brother, we’ve known each other for so many years anyway. We’re more than friends at this point. We’ve long been inseparable, right?” Su Jiu said with a smile.
Rong Si was speechless.
Is this girl innocent or stupid? Doesn’t she know that there is a difference between men and women?
We aren’t children anymore. Doesn’t she think it would be dangerous for us to share a room alone at our age?
Rong Si was suddenly glad that he was the one standing in front of her. If it had been any other man, she might have been in danger. He had to remind her.
At that thought, Rong Si’s expression turned serious. “You’re not a kid anymore. How can you share a room with someone of the opposite gender?”
His expression was exactly the same as when Su Shengjing was trying to reason with her. Su Jiu wanted to laugh and said righteously, “I don’t casually stay with a man. It’s precisely because that person is you that I’m willing!”
Rong Si winced. “Why?”
“Because—” Su Jiu leaned closer and stood on tiptoe to speak in his ear. “I trust my big brother.”
The girl’s warm breath brushed against his ear, bringing with it an indescribable itch. It also made his heart suddenly throb fiercely, and even his eyes darkened.
Rong Si’s throat worked as he stared at her with his dark eyes. “Aren’t you afraid that I’m not as good as you think?”
“If you’re not good, then there’s no good person in this world!” Su Jiu said confidently, her eyes filled with trust in him without any doubt.
Chapter 779: Declaring His Own Ownership
The receptionist curiously looked at them, then asked, “Are you a couple?”
Su Jiu stole a glance at Rong Si. Seeing that he had no intention of denying it, she did not do that either. She only said to the receptionist, “Sister, he can stay with me.”
Rong Si’s eyes flickered. “Are you sure?”
“Yes!” Su Jiu vigorously nodded. “Big Brother, I really trust you.”
She was speaking in Chinese. Although the receptionist couldn’t understand what the girl was saying, she could sense that her relationship with the boy was extraordinary. She was certain that they were a couple, so she smiled and said, “You two seem to be very close. I wish you happiness.”
Rong blushed and followed Su Jiu inside the hotel. When they reached the elevator, he walked in with her.
Both of them were alone in the elevator. They stood side by side in the small space, not speaking to each other. The atmosphere suddenly became intimate.
Out of the corner of her eye, Su Jiu saw Rong Si’s slender and well-defined hand. She suddenly got the urge to hold it. His palm was warm, not as cold as he looked.
However, she was a girl after all. She was embarrassed to take the initiative to hold his hand and had to pretend that nothing had happened.
Rong Si was also very nervous now, his entire body stiff. He had never expected things to turn out this way. He was actually going to share a room with her.
Such a thing had only appeared in his dreams.
As he thought about it, the elevator doors suddenly opened and several people walked in from the restaurant on the second floor. They were all guests of this hotel. As soon as they entered the elevator, the elevator seemed cramped. Among them were two fat women. Su Jiu was squeezed into a corner.
When a man glanced at Su Jiu and was about to stand beside her, Rong Si’s eyes turned cold. Rong Si hurried to Su Jiu’s side and stood with her as if he were declaring his ownership. Then he looked coldly at the man, a warning in his gaze.
The man originally wanted to take advantage of Su Jiu while there were many people. When Rong Si rushed to Su Jiu, however, the man thought that Rong Si was Su Jiu’s boyfriend. Therefore, the man looked away resentfully and did not look at her again.
Su Jiu could sense that the little villain was protecting her.
Besides, he was standing so close to her now that their arms were touching. If she wasn’t careful, she would touch his hand. Her heart sped up and her face burned.
Rong Si touched her hand too. He had a strong urge to hold it, but he remembered that he would be sharing a room with her later. He couldn’t push his luck, so he dismissed the idea.
When they arrived at the hotel room, Su Jiu swiped her card and entered the room. She turned to Rong Si, who was still standing at the door. “Big Brother, what’s wrong? Come in.”
Rong Si was a little embarrassed as he followed her in. Su Jiu closed the door and pointed to the bed closest to the door. “You can sleep in this bed.”
“Okay.” Rong Si nodded and put his backpack on the bedside table.
Watching his every move, Su Jiu really felt like she had secretly brought her boyfriend home without telling her parents. She felt a little guilty.
Trying to calm herself, she casually asked, “Big Brother, have you eaten? Do you want to go eat?”
Rong Si turned to her. “What about you?”
“I’ve already eaten. But if you haven’t, I can eat with you.”
“Eaten?” Rong Si raised his eyebrows. “Who did you eat with? Xiao Wei?”
Su Jiu choked.
No way! How could he have guessed so accurately?
Chapter 780: Bullying the Little Villain (1)
When Su Jiu didn’t answer immediately, Rong Si knew he was right.
Su Jiu had come to Vienna to watch Xiao Wei’s concert. If Rong Si were Xiao Wei, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to eat with her. Of course, he would not miss the opportunity to have her accompany him either. Nodding, he said, “Then, accompany me to eat.”
“Sure. Get some rest. We’ll eat later.”
Rong Si nodded again and sat down on the edge of the bed. This was the first time both of them had been alone together. They were nervous, after all. Neither of them spoke for a moment, both feeling a little uneasy.
He just looked at her with deep eyes. Su Jiu was helpless under his gaze and did not know what to do with her hands. She could only pretend not to care and continue looking out of the balcony.
Rong Si smiled when he saw that Su Jiu was nervous too.
Is the little villain laughing at me?
Does he think I’m being coy now?
Su Jiu got even more embarrassed. If she had known that it would be so awkward, she would not have impulsively agreed for the little villain to stay with her. After all, he was the child she liked.
Facing him, she could not remain calm at all!
She decided to step outside the balcony and take two deep breaths to calm herself. To her surprise, a deep, magnetic voice rang behind her. “This city is beautiful.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
She quickly turned and almost bumped into Rong Si’s sharp chin. Her eyes widened. “W-why did you suddenly appear behind me? You scared me.”
Rong Si looked down at her. “Sorry!”
As he spoke, he moved to stand beside her. From this vantage point, he could see most of the city. Perhaps, it was because she was beside him, but he found the city exceptionally beautiful.
He would live here with her always, if he could.
Su Jiu pouted. “You’re forgiven. Big Brother, since you’re not resting, why don’t we go eat? After dinner, shall we take a walk outside?”
She had to try to minimize her time alone in this room with him. That way, it wouldn’t be so awkward.
With this in mind, she brought Rong Si out until the evening, walking until her legs almost broke. She really couldn’t walk anymore, but Rong Si calmly followed her as if nothing had happened. He was still carrying bags of things that Su Jiu had bought on the way. Su Jiu couldn’t resist cute things, especially cute dolls. She wanted to buy them whenever she saw them.
When Su Jiu sat down on a bench by the road to massage her feet, Rong Si raised an eyebrow. “Are you still able to walk?”
Su Jiu’s face fell. “No, I’m tired.”
Rong Si felt helpless. “Then why walk for so long?”
Su Jiu choked inwardly.?Isn’t it to avoid the awkwardness in the room??She really regretted letting him stay with her now!
Just the thought of her being alone with him in the middle of the night when she got back made her nervous. But she couldn’t tell the little villain to go to another hotel at this time, could she?
He had even asked her two or three times before. Are you sure you’re ok if I stay with you?
Su Jiu was vexed. She felt like she had shot herself in the foot. She was clearly timid in front of the little villain. Why had she pretended to be bold?!
She evasively answered him, “It’s my first time in Vienna. It’s interesting, so I want to wander here.”
“Really?” Rong Si suspiciously looked at her.
Actually, isn’t it because she is shy?
She’s embarrassed to live with me, but what is this girl trying to do now?
But it’s too late now. I’m not leaving.
