Chapter 471 - 8 An Unexpected Phone Call
He Xiaoxiao was on the verge of tears; she truly hadn’t expected Lin Xiaoguai to be Xu Ji’s aunt. She had been pursuing Xu Ji for two years, meeting his cousins, his uncles and aunts, and even his sister, but she had never seen this "little aunt."
—Lin Xiaoguai had visited before, but it was her first time coming to Xu Ji’s dorm. Normally when she brought him things, she would just make a phone call, asking him to meet her at the campus gate to pick them up, exchange a few words, and leave. But this time, she had so many things to bring him that she drove in.
He Xiaoxiao glanced down at her own outfit with a tangle of worry—a light green checkered shirt with somewhat worn jeans. And then she thought about the ponytail she had tied today, not to mention she hadn’t put on any makeup!
Was there a worse way to meet his elder for the first time as Xu Ji’s girlfriend?
Lin Xiaoguai’s gaze settled on Xu Ji, the meaning behind it very clear.
Xu Ji cleared his throat, "Xiaoxiao, go back first."
"Eh?" He Xiaoxiao thought he was angry and quickly whispered, "Didn’t we agree to go eat pan-fried dumplings together at Liu Ji? How about I wait outside for you?"
Xu Ji raised his hand to rub his forehead, already knowing she wouldn’t be easy to dismiss. After a moment, he nodded, "Alright." He feared that if the pestering went on, his aunt would scoff.
"Alright, spill it—what’s this girl’s deal?" After He Xiaoxiao had hesitantly left, Lin Xiaoguai rushed to ask.
"Isn’t it just like that?" Looking up and seeing the amusement in Lin Xiaoguai’s eyes, Xu Ji bashfully said, "She’s the one who pursued me. Aunt, you know, I spend most of my time in the lab, far from those girls... it’s only because of my appearance that they... uh, come forward. There’s no shortage of girls chasing me, but honestly, not many can last over half a year because they realize how dull and boring it is to be with me. But Xiaoxiao has been after me for two years, and I... don’t exactly dislike her. Mom has been really pushing too, so I agreed to try dating her."
Lin Xiaoguai sensed Shen Chi cared more for the girl than he let on. If it had been an older girl, she would have been happy, but this girl...
"Is she of age?"
