Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 87: Is Lin Xi Easy to Support?

Lin Xi was startled. She immediately scrambled off the bed and grabbed a tissue. "Xue Yang, you... you have a nosebleed!"

Xue Yang tilted his head back. "Yeah, I do. It’s salty and a little metallic."

"You need to lie down! Stop the bleeding first, then we can talk."

Xue Yang averted his gaze, avoiding Lin Xi’s eyes. "You should get dressed first. Otherwise, my nosebleed might not stop."

Lin Xi glanced down at herself and realized... at some point, her top had come undone. Her bra had slipped down to her arm, revealing the beautiful curve of her breast.

"Why do guys get nosebleeds when they see a girl’s body?"

"That’s not always the case. It mainly depends on the girl’s figure. If it’s good, a nosebleed is perfectly normal."

"Are you saying I have a good figure?"

"Not just good," Xue Yang said frankly. "It’s excellent. So, are you sure we should continue this topic? This feeling of my blood rushing isn’t exactly pleasant."

"No, no, let’s not. What should you do now? Will it keep bleeding?"

"It’ll probably stop once you get dressed!"

Lin Xi quickly fixed her clothes.

Xue Yang then went into the bathroom to wash the blood from his face. When he came out, he had transformed back into a suave, elegant gentleman. In Cui Hao’s words, he was just putting on a polished facade.

"Xue Yang, are you going out now?"

"Of course. An elder is here. I can’t just stay in the room with you the whole time. That would be rude."

Lin Xi wanted to say it was fine, but on second thought, she said, "If you go out there, Auntie Shen might ask you some questions."

"So, you want to prep our answers beforehand?"

"No."

"Then you’re..."

"I just wanted to tell you not to worry. I’ll handle Auntie Shen. You should focus your energy on how to get past my dad."

"Right! A humble suitor must eventually face his father-in-law. I understand."

Hearing this, Lin Xi feigned anger. "A humble suitor? Are you implying I have bad taste?"

"Oh, no. Your taste is excellent. The boyfriend you chose is tall, handsome, capable, and full of potential. He’ll definitely be able to provide you with a good life in the future."

Lin Xi burst out laughing. "Xue Yang, I never realized you were so shameless."

"Am I wrong?"

"You’re absolutely right. My boyfriend is indeed tall, handsome, and capable. But as for him providing a good life, that might still be a little difficult."

"No problem. I can just take a few more photos. Supporting you won’t be a big deal."

"Xue Yang, do you know what I want to do right now?"

"What’s that?"

"I want to kiss you."

Lin Xi truly did want to kiss him. She wanted to kiss him every single moment, and it never felt like enough.

"Maybe later. I’m going to head out now. You haven’t done enough of your review papers these past two days. You need to catch up, or I’ll have to spank you."

With that, Xue Yang opened the door and walked out.

Lin Xi made a goofy face at his back.

Xue Yang stepped into the living room and found it completely transformed. Everything was organized with meticulous care, and the floor seemed to be shining. The cleaning cloth on the coffee table had been folded into the shape of a flower and placed right in the center. The teacups, which were usually a bit messy, were now arranged neatly on a tray in the corner. The clothes from the balcony had been brought in and were folded tidily on the sofa. From the bathroom, he could hear the sound of running water, which meant Auntie Shen was washing something.

Xue Yang glanced around, feeling a wave of emotion. He had always thought he was a reasonably clean and tidy person, but this was on another level. He felt as if he’d stumbled out of a pigsty and into a palace. No wonder that girl Lin Xi didn’t know how to do anything at first. With such a diligent relative looking after her, she never had to lift a finger. It seems Lin Xi’s family background is quite impressive. I’ll have to work even harder to earn money.

Just as he was thinking this, Auntie Shen emerged, having finished cleaning the bathroom. She and Xue Yang saw each other and paused for a moment, both slightly startled. After all, they were still strangers.

"Auntie Shen," Xue Yang said, breaking the silence.

Auntie Shen nodded and walked over. "Have a seat."

Xue Yang knew this was coming. Even though Lin Xi had told him not to worry about Auntie Shen, he felt it was important to be respectful. He sat down as instructed, and Auntie Shen sat down as well.

If Xue Yang really ends up with the Young Miss, he’ll technically be the master of the house.

"I hope Xiao Xi hasn’t been too much trouble for you during her stay."

"No trouble at all. Lin Xi is very easy to care for."

"Is Xiao Xi really easy to care for?"

"She is. Sometimes we just cook two dishes and a soup, and she eats with great relish."

"You can cook?"

"Simple things, yes."

"That’s good. Can you tell me how you and Xiao Xi decided to get together?"

Xue Yang explained calmly, "Xiao Xi and I went skiing at Xiang Mountain, and there was a small accident. We got buried in the snow. At that moment, I thought that if we made it out safely, we should be together. The rescue team found us, and we’ve been together ever since."

Auntie Shen’s heart went cold when she heard that the Young Miss had been in such a dangerous situation. After hearing they were rescued, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Xi must be blessed."

"Yes, she’s a wonderful girl. It was only after meeting her that I realized how short life is and how incredibly lucky you are if you can find someone you truly connect with."

Auntie Shen observed Xue Yang’s expression. When he spoke of Lin Xi, his eyes lit up. The palpable excitement in his voice when he described their decision to be together was exactly how a young man experiencing his first love should be.

"If—and this is just a hypothetical—if Xiao Xi’s father doesn’t approve of you two being together, what will you do?"

"I’ll work hard to prove to him that I can make Xiao Xi happy."

"And how will you prove that? Because you can afford to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Yancheng? True, for an ordinary student, that’s very impressive. But what father do you think would be willing to marry his daughter to a poor boy who can only afford to rent?"

"I’m still young," Xue Yang replied. "Just because I can’t afford a house now doesn’t mean I never will. It doesn’t mean this is all I’ll ever be. I’m a student at the best university in Dragon Country. No matter what, my future won’t be bleak."

Faced with Auntie Shen’s pointed questioning, he showed no trace of impatience, nor did he seem to feel her words were insulting. Her tone was calm, and her expression was that of someone simply stating the facts, without a hint of looking down on him. Put simply, as an elder, Auntie Shen just wanted what was best for Lin Xi.

Xue Yang’s composed response genuinely surprised her.

"How old are you?"

"Nineteen. I’ll be twenty after the New Year."
