Chapter 47 - 48. Lin Xiao Collapses! The Stallion Male Lead is Actually Me? (Seeking Continued Reading) _1
"Yingying, did you say earlier that you wanted to give me a gift?"
Lin Xiao tentatively asked, "Is today... any special day?"
Lu Yingying held his arm, her eyes like shimmering autumn pools, pleading a little, "Eldest Senior Brother, can we not ask questions for now?"
"Anyway, you’ll definitely like it! You’ll understand once you go with Yingying and see!"
"However, on the way there, you can’t open your eyes! You can only open them when I tell you to!" the young girl added mysteriously.
What the hell is this girl planning? Lin Xiao grumbled to himself. He was well aware that the crucial events of the Five Branches Grand Competition were imminent, yet he still had several preparatory subplots to complete.
On the other hand, seeing her Eldest Senior Brother’s reluctance, the young girl took matters into her own hands; her slender, fair arms immediately wrapped around him!
Ah, this... Lin Xiao gave an inward bitter laugh. She’s practically strong-arming me! His hands hung awkwardly in the air for a moment before he finally rested them on the girl’s shoulders, intending to caress her small face.
However, due to a blind spot, he misjudged the distance and inadvertently touched something soft and round, about the size of his palm.
Damn... he thought. Has she grown up too? This isn’t what I saw with the Photo Stone, is it?
Lin Xiao sighed inwardly. Still, she was someone he had watched grow up. At this moment, he felt more a sense of gratification, like seeing his own daughter come of age.
