"You ..." Qin Xinying frowned, then raised her eyebrows and suppressed her anger. She smiled and looked at Tang Xi as she said, “Nona, it's too early for you to say that. Not sure who will laugh last.”

Tang Xi shrugged, but that was when Qiao Liang's indifferent voice came from the waiting room. "Again, you won't be the one to laugh last."

When Little Five heard the domineering tone from her boss, she almost jumped to her feet and gave her thumbs up. After all, she really disliked this Miss Qin.

Tang Xi turned her head only to look at Qiao Liang, who had finally fallen asleep but was awakened by Qin Xinying, standing at the entrance of the waiting room and looking pouty.

Qin Xinying turned sharply. He did not expect that Qiao Liang was really in the waiting room. Qiao Liang did not like people close to him. Unless they were familiar with it, he would not let anyone into his territory. As far as she knew, the only person who could lie next to her was Tang Xi, but she was no more.

His eyes immediately filled with tears as he looked at Qiao Liang. He looked at Qiao Liang dejectedly and said in disbelief, “Qiao Liang, I didn't know you were this kind of person. We still don't know if Little Xi is alive or dead, yet you and this woman. ” Instead of continuing his words, he simply accused Qiao Liang with his eyes.

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Xinying, holding her chin. He had no idea that Qin Xinying was very good at acting. She didn't realize until now that any woman could be an Oscar-winning actress in life. How could he pretend not to care about Qiao Liang in front of him?

Qiao Liang looked at Qin Xinying coldly and said nonchalantly, "It's none of your business what kind of person I am."

Then his eyes softened as he looked at Tang Xi, who gestured to him and said, "Come and sit down. Are you feeling better now?"

Qiao Liang nodded with a smile, went to sit beside him and gently tidied his hair for him, completely ignoring Qin Xinying who was standing there. "I can't sleep without you lying next to me."

Tang Xi smiled and, also ignoring Qin Xinying's presence, said gently, "Then don't force yourself to sleep. Let's go have afternoon tea, then go to bed early in the evening and go to work excitedly tomorrow.”

Tang Xi swore this was the softest voice she had ever used since she was with Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi deeply. Even though he said the most ordinary words, he could see an incredible gentleness in his eyes. He nodded and grabbed her hand as he asked, "Do you want to have dinner with me?"

Tang Xi shook her head. "I promised Mom and Dad I'd go home for dinner."

Qin Xinying clenched her hands hard as she glared at Tang Xi and then turned to come out. Little Five hurriedly followed him. Tang Xi saw Qin Xinying go and gently hit Qiao Liang who was holding her hand and playing her finger. He asked, "Did you already know that Xinying likes you?"

Qiao Liang looked at him and replied, "Why should I know?"

Tang Xi was frustrated. This is his way. If he didn't care about someone, no matter how hard the other party tried to impress him, he wouldn't feel anything. Even if he sensed it, he would still keep that person away from his world. No wonder…

Tang Xi sighed and stood up. "Okay, let's go have some afternoon tea."

Tang Xi looked at him with a smile and said, "I don't understand your work." Then he waved his phone and continued, “I'll play a game. You can go to work. I'll wait for you half an hour.”

Qiao Liang looked at him deeply and kissed his forehead before reluctantly letting go. "I'll finish it in half an hour."

Tang Xi nodded and started playing games on her phone, but then she received a phone call from He Wanning. She asked him to audition on Friday, and then told him that filming would officially begin on Saturday. He did not remember until now that he had not told Qiao Liang that he would be filming a TV commercial. He raised his eyes and happened to meet Qiao Liang's eyes. The latter put down his pen and looked at him, asking, “What's wrong? Do you know He Wanning well?”

Tang Xi pondered for a moment with a frown before nodding and replying, "Yes, I guess so."

Qiao Liang felt a little jealous. "Wow, you really have a lot of friends."

Tang Xi chuckled as she turned off her game, then went to sit in front of Qiao Liang's table and looked at him with the chin in her hands. He suggested, “Then you can follow me. I'm sure you'll also get a lot of friends.”

Qiao Liang frowned and thought, "Is that good for me?"

"You can be with me all the time," Tang Xi continued sweetly. “And I'm so pretty. Aren't you afraid I'll be stolen by another man? If you follow me, you can drive those people away for me.”

Qiao Liang gently tapped his head with his questioner and said, “That makes sense. But what about my job?”

“Well, everyone needs their personal space, so it is up to you when you work, and it is up to me when I go to school, okay?” He knew that they could not be together the entire time, especially now that he was Xiao Rou who was in the spotlight due to the matter of the real or fake princess. If it was reported that she and Qiao Liang were lovers, she did not know whether she was resistant to the media bombardment or not.

Qiao Liang knew what was on Tang Xi's mind, but he did not reveal his thoughts. She reached out to hug him and looked at him with a smile as she said, “Don't worry. We can meet every day.”

Tang Xi's heart gasped at her words. He asked, "What are you going to do?"

He remembers having fought with her. At that time, he swore that he would never speak to her again, but he told her, in the same way as he had said earlier, that he would talk to her in one lesson.

He did not believe her at that time. If he listened attentively in class and did not look at her, how would he talk to her because she was sitting so far away from him? However, he swapped seats with his deskmate and constantly looked at her with his chin in his hand. Unable to ignore his gaze, he looked at her with a dark look and said, "Stop looking at me!" And he had responded by showing her a triumphant smile. Recalling that scene, Tang Xi could not help but smile. She was really sweet at the time.

"It won't be long before you know it." Qiao Liang turned off his computer and pulled it up. "Let's go have some afternoon tea."

Tang Xi grabbed her hand with a smile as she joked, "Are you going to do what you did in college again?" Suddenly, something happened to him and he said excitedly, "You're not going to study in our school, are you?" Then he frowned as he continued, “Oh, please don't. I will be laughed at by my classmates. Although I am a freshman, I look so young that my classmates do not know my actual age. If you go to my school, they will know it.”

Qiao Liang looked at the imaginative girl in front of him and said helplessly, "What are you thinking?"
