Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Heartbreak (First Update)
Seeing Lin Xi looking a bit bewildered, the corners of Bai Bing’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly, as if she was secretly pleased.
"Don’t get any funny ideas, and don’t read too much into it. We’re just in a partnership. If there’s any overstepping, I’ll end our collaboration, and I’ll hate you for the rest of my life!" she warned Lin Xi, since his expression seemed a bit off.
Moreover, it’s just the two of them alone—if he couldn’t control himself and did something to her, it would be pretty much a hopeless situation.
However, after saying those words, she couldn’t help feeling a strange sense of loss inside, as if she’d made a wrong decision.
"Hate me for the rest of your life, what the heck is that?" Lin Xi couldn’t quite process it and was still in a daze, "Funny ideas are dangerous, should I call the police to arrest someone?"
He felt as if he’d been doused with a bucket of ice-cold water, leaving him soaked beyond wet. At that moment, it felt so serious that even his appetite for dinner almost vanished.
It wasn’t about fear but about not wanting to force anyone.
"Tat-tat-tat..."
Bai Bing slipped on her slippers and went upstairs, disappearing from sight in an instant, leaving Lin Xi alone in the hall, silently sighing.
Sometimes happiness and sadness are separated by just a thin line. What seemed to be happiness can turn into sadness in the blink of an eye, so quickly that it’s completely bewildering.
"But it’s considered ’life’ after all, and opportunities are always left for those around you." Lin Xi had no choice but to comfort himself this way.
Afterwards, he started looking for a room on the first floor.
The villa was pretty large, with a very reasonable layout, justifying its price.
After searching, excluding the hall, balcony, bathroom, and storage room, kitchen, etc., there were a total of three bedrooms.
One master bedroom and two smaller ones, of which the smaller one’s location was not good, and it was much simpler in setup, likely meant for a servant’s quarters.
Of course, Lin Xi didn’t hesitate to choose the master bedroom, which also had its own private bathroom.
After unpacking his luggage, it was already around six o’clock.
Lin Xi glanced at the 1.8 by 2-meter bed behind him and plopped down directly on it; compared to the dorm bed, it was like heaven and earth.
More importantly, now he could finally have his own private life.
"That Luo Susu, if you have the guts, come find me one more time, and see what happens!"
After lying for a while, he got hungry, and Lin Xi had no choice but to crawl out of bed and leave the room.
The hall was empty, making the entire villa feel quite deserted.
"I wonder what Bai Bing is doing upstairs?" Lin Xi thought to himself, feeling the urge to go up and take a look, but then remembered the recent warning and dismissed the idea.
After all, if he got kicked out, he’d have to go back to school, and wouldn’t Peng Bo and the other three die from laughter!
"Forget it, there’s time in the future," Lin Xi thought to himself as he headed towards the kitchen, intending to make some food for himself.
Because when he came here, he noticed that there’s pretty much no food outside, and he didn’t want to order takeout, who knows if those places are little workshops.
In the kitchen, he found a large refrigerator next to him, and when he opened it, he saw a lot of ingredients, almost like a small market.
"Jianghai was considerate." Since he and Bai Bing didn’t check the fridge when house hunting, and Lin Xi thought Bai Bing wouldn’t have gone out to buy so many groceries; she probably wouldn’t even buy groceries.
