Su Jiu’s smile widened. “I’m here to send you off.”
She thought Rong Si would be surprised, but the young man frowned and said, “No need. Go back!”
Go back?
Su Jiu froze and confusedly looked at him. “Why?”
Rong Si looked down at her with a serious expression. “You’re a girl.”
“So what if I’m a girl? Can’t I send you back?”
“It’s not safe.”
Su Jiu was stunned. So that was what he thought?
“It’s already daybreak, not even midnight. How could it be unsafe?” she said nonchalantly.
Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Rong Si tightly pursed his lips and did not say anything. Then, he took her hand and led her forward. Su Jiu hurriedly asked, “Big Brother, where are we going?”
“I’m bringing you back.”
Su Jiu stopped and tugged on his hand. “I’m not going back. I especially came here to send you to the airport. If I go back, wouldn’t I have come for nothing?”
Rong Si stopped too and turned to look at her. “If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to bear it.”
She was the beloved daughter of the Su Family. Nothing could happen to her, and he did not want to see anything happen. Usually, other than during lessons, when she went out, a chauffeur would be following her and bodyguards would be protecting her secretly. But now, she had come here alone. How could he not worry?
However, Su Jiu felt that his worries were unnecessary. It was as if in his eyes, she was still the child from many years ago. She could not help but say, “Big Brother, I’m not a child anymore. I can take care of myself.”
“No, I’ll send you back.”
His attitude was firm, and Su Jiu felt a little depressed. “Alright.”
She followed Rong Si in the direction of her home and stole a glance at him. Seeing his cold side profile and set jaw, she quickly said, “Big Brother, don’t be angry.”
Rong Si stopped in his tracks and looked at her. “I’m not angry.”
How could he be angry with her?
Never!
Su Jiu walked in front of him and faced him. She looked into his eyes and said, “If you’re not angry, then smile!”
Rong Si stared at her. “Don’t sneak out next time. Your parents will be worried.”
Su Jiu was unconvinced and said, “Didn’t you also secretly sneak out too?”
Rong Si choked. “It’s different.”
He had met all kinds of people, but in his eyes, Su Jiu was different. She was the little princess who lived in the ivory tower. The outside world was so dangerous, and too many things here could hurt her.
Su Jiu was even more unconvinced as she curled his lips. “How is it different? Hmph, are you looking down on me? Do you think I’m an idiot who doesn’t know anything?”
“I don’t.”
“You do! You called me earlier and said that I was an idiot!” She still remembered it.
She looked adorable when she was angry. Rong Si seemed to smile. “Sometimes, you’re a little silly, but it has nothing to do with intelligence.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
Is he calling me silly?
How am I silly? Isn’t this too mean?
Feeling indignant, Su Jiu followed Rong Si back to the villa area. It was still early, and the sky above the boulevard was quiet. Only a few people were running in the morning. When they saw the two of them, they all looked over.
Some of the older ones could not help but feel that this couple was very compatible. They were so harmonious and beautiful when they walked together. It made them feel that it was good to be young.
