Chapter 251 - 252: The Path You’ve Taken (5)
In just the time it takes for breakfast, the news that Qin Mobai is Lou Xi’s boyfriend spread around. Yesterday, people were saying Lou Xi was being kept, and today a boyfriend suddenly appears!
The small town usually doesn’t have much entertainment, relying on word-of-mouth gossip. Now that Lou Xi has brought back a man who looks wealthy but doesn’t carry the air of a tycoon, everyone had to check it out!
Thus, Lou Xi found that the town was even livelier than usual, those people she usually couldn’t see all appeared today, it’s almost magical.
However, after understanding what Qin Mobai meant, Lou Xi wasn’t in a hurry to go back with him, thinking that wandering around the town wasn’t such a bad idea.
"Is this the path you used to take to school?" Qin Mobai asked, holding Lou Xi’s hand tightly, his gaze calmly sweeping across this peaceful town.
"How do you know?" Lou Xi was a bit surprised; could it be Qin Mobai somehow knows about the past?
Qin Mobai gave Lou Xi a somewhat helpless look, "Lucky you met me."
"Hm?" Lou Xi wasn’t quite sure what he meant.
"Just now, when we left your house, you took a right turn which is Aunt Zhao’s shop, you said when you were a kid, passing the breakfast shop on the way to school, she would give you buns." So this isn’t the route to Lou Xi’s school, unless Lou Xi deliberately came to get buns before going to school?
"Oh." So that’s what it was, "Young Master Qin, you’re really smart!"
Lou Xi was very straightforward when she praised someone.
"Indeed, I quite like the more carefree version of you."
Seems like there’s nothing wrong with that statement...
Lou Xi nodded.
Qin Mobai gently squeezed Lou Xi’s hand and said, "I hope you always stay like this in front of me, never change."
He knew clearly that Lou Xi’s emotional intelligence and IQ were certainly higher than what she showed; she simply displayed her most unguarded self before Qin Mobai, revealing her most genuine side to him.
Having spent so much time in the business world, Qin Mobai was used to seeing hypocritical people, with masks both in front of others and behind them.
That’s why Qin Mobai especially hated those insincere people, and Lou Xi showed her truest self before him, making him feel comfortable.
He wished Lou Xi could always show her simple side before him; if one day Lou Xi became deep and calculative in his presence, it would no longer be the Lou Xi Qin Mobai likes.
"Young Master Qin likes me like this?"
"I like every version of you." Qin Mobai, rarely serious, confessed, making Lou Xi blush.
The two walked together along the roads of the small town, the morning air particularly fresh, and then...
"Lou Xi!" A strange voice reached Lou Xi and Qin Mobai’s ears.
Both turned around, seeing a young man in his twenties carrying a bag walking towards Lou Xi.
Seems like...
"Wang Yi?" Lou Xi remembered vaguely; after all, back then Wang Yi was a skinny kid, why is he a big guy now?
Seeing that Lou Xi still remembered him, Wang Yi showed a genuine smile.
"You still remember me! I heard people say you came back, I know you like honey grapefruit tea, this is homemade from our place." Wang Yi handed the bag over.
Lou Xi was a little confused; she didn’t seem to have much interaction with Wang Yi before?
