Sheng Chenjin was lounging on the sofa, holding the remote and watching TV. "When we go back the day after tomorrow, I'll take you shopping and we'll go to the food street to eat all the delicacies you want."
Sheng Chenjin's words were well-received by Shi Xinxin.
However, Shi Xinxin deliberately teased Sheng Chenjin, "Are you serious? I never expected that a big boss like you, Sheng Chenjin, would actually go to some food street to eat common folk food."
Hearing Shi Xinxin's words, Sheng Chenjin said coldly, "I started from scratch, okay? What kind of life haven't I experienced? You're still too naive, Shi Xinxin. I didn't even know where you were when I was navigating the food streets."
This was the first time Shi Xinxin had seen Sheng Chenjin act so arrogantly. Shi Xinxin gave Sheng Chenjin a dismissive look.
In fact, Shi Xinxin found that the more she interacted with Sheng Chenjin, the more she discovered his little quirks. He wasn't as cold on the outside as he seemed, nor as heartless as others said.
All in all, Sheng Chenjin was quite adorable. That was Shi Xinxin's thought.
If Sheng Chenjin knew at this moment that Shi Xinxin actually used the word "adorable" to describe him, he wouldn't know what to say.
"Actually, after living here for so long, I've grown quite fond of this place." Shi Xinxin, after packing her things, surveyed the small house where she had once lived alone, and later, with Sheng Chenjin's company.
Thinking about leaving, Shi Xinxin felt a pang of reluctance.
Sheng Chenjin hugged Shi Xinxin. "Yes, this house holds our beautiful memories."
Resting his chin on Shi Xinxin's head, Sheng Chenjin thought for a long time. "Why don't I find the landlord and we buy this house?"
"As expected of a tycoon," Shi Xinxin deliberately used this adjective to describe Sheng Chenjin.
Sheng Chenjin seemed indifferent. "You said it yourself, you like this house. What's wrong with me buying it?"
Shi Xinxin turned around and faced Sheng Chenjin. "It's not that I like the house, it's just that I'm suddenly leaving and I'm a bit reluctant. After all, I've lived here for so long."
Sheng Chenjin nodded. "It's precisely because you have feelings for the house that I want to buy it. If you miss our life in America in the future, you can just move in and experience it again, can't you?"
Shi Xinxin shook her head. "No. Sheng Chenjin, after everything that's happened, I've realized that people need to move forward. This house will become a thing of the past, so let it be."
Hearing Shi Xinxin's words, Sheng Chenjin seemed surprised. He looked at Shi Xinxin in astonishment, as if the Shi Xinxin before him was no longer the same Shi Xinxin.
"What's wrong?" Shi Xinxin tilted her head and asked Sheng Chenjin in confusion.
Sheng Chenjin, however, put away his surprise and said calmly, "I just didn't expect... you to have such thoughts. Shi Xinxin, I've realized that you're different from before."
Shi Xinxin and Sheng Chenjin met each other's gaze. "People always need to grow. After all, we've been through some things and can't always be stuck in the same place."
With that, Shi Xinxin mischievously asked Sheng Chenjin, "I've grown, isn't that good? Aren't you happy?"
"No," Sheng Chenjin replied with certainty. "I'm not unhappy; in fact, I'm happy for you. Do you know, Shi Xinxin? You're even more charming now. I've already succumbed to your charm."
Listening to Sheng Chenjin's words, which sounded like sweet talk, Shi Xinxin smiled sweetly on her lips but still pretended as if nothing was happening.
"Stop it, Sheng Chenjin," Shi Xinxin playfully pointed at Sheng Chenjin's chest with her finger. "I'll tell you too, you've changed."
Sheng Chenjin asked, "Oh? How have I changed?"
"You've become more glib and good at saying nice things to coax me."
"Isn't it good to coax you?" Sheng Chenjin feigned a wronged expression.
Shi Xinxin burst into laughter. Just as Tang Tang and Sheng Chenjin had said, Shi Xinxin at this moment was filled with happiness, radiating a sense of joy from the inside out.
Stepping into her homeland once again, Shi Xinxin was so moved at this moment that she could almost cry.
Tang Tang, loyal as ever, was waiting for Shi Xinxin at the airport. The moment she saw Tang Tang, Shi Xinxin became incredibly excited and rushed forward to embrace her.
"Tang Tang, I've missed you so much. Do you know, I thought of you day and night in America." Shi Xinxin practically held Tang Tang tightly in her arms.
Tang Tang said helplessly, "Shi Xinxin, let go a little. I'm about to suffocate."
Hearing Shi Xinxin's words, Tang Tang chuckled sheepishly.
"Sorry, sorry, I was just too excited. I was just too excited." Shi Xinxin kept apologizing, but her face was still beaming with the joy of a reunion.
Tang Tang remained calm and composed. "I already thought you'd gained quite a bit of weight on video. Now that I see you in person, it's not just a bit, it's a lot. Your whole demeanor has changed. It's true that when you meet the right person, you become much more radiant."
Hearing Tang Tang's words, Shi Xinxin looked very happy, even a little shy.
Sheng Chenjin walked towards Tang Tang generously. "We meet again, Miss Tang."
Tang Tang was polite to Sheng Chenjin, merely nodding. "You've just returned. I'll take Shi Xinxin home first to put her luggage away, and then we can go out for a meal?"
Sheng Chenjin agreed.
Shi Xinxin chattered away, "Fortunately, I asked you to clean my house in advance a few days ago. If I hadn't, I would have had a lot to deal with this time."
As they walked towards the airport parking lot, Shi Xinxin was chattering incessantly.
Tang Tang smiled mysteriously at Sheng Chenjin. "That room wasn't cleaned by me."
Shi Xinxin looked surprised. "Then who was it? Who was so kind as to help me?"
"Someone close to you," Tang Tang directly revealed Sheng Chenjin.
Shi Xinxin looked astonished. "Sheng Chenjin? Impossible. How could it be Sheng Chenjin? Wasn't he also in America?"
Tang Tang then revealed the truth to Shi Xinxin. "Last time he returned to the country, he asked me for your key. He personally went and tidied up, then gave the key to his housekeeper and ordered the housekeeper to have someone clean your house every three days. So, you should be thanking him."
Hearing Tang Tang's words, Shi Xinxin was even more surprised. She had no idea Sheng Chenjin could be so thoughtful.
