After Transmigration, The Male Lead and I had a HE

Chapter 280

Side Story 3 (2)

Xie Xinglin smirked, “Wasn’t it your suggestion to play like this?”

At this moment, Su Qiuge looked at her own performance and inexplicably felt happy. It was the first time she had derived joy from this game. Even though she just mindlessly followed behind and auto-attacked, she had done her best in her own eyes. Unable to resist, she kissed him on the face and exclaimed, “My Star is amazing!”

Xie Xinglin seemed pleased by the gesture. His cold eyes softened slightly as he smiled and gazed at her, calmly saying, “Next time, just call me ‘husband’ directly.”

“If you want to play, I can teach you step by step.”

Han Ming, silently observing all of this, thought to himself, “…”

Damn it.

Previously, Su Qiuge and Xie Xinglin were relatively low-key at school, and he didn’t feel anything.

But now, even though they had been apart for a while, their relationship seemed to be even better. And for some reason, in Han Ming’s eyes, everything around them was surrounded by pink bubbles.

This sweet atmosphere was like a constant dog-killing spree.

He really regretted coming here to challenge them today…

His foot was really… damn painful.

He silently turned his gaze towards Su Yuanzhou and Gao Jing, realizing that these two seemed to be uncomfortable as well. Even Wen Mingming, who was usually carefree, could sense the tears and helplessness of the dogs.

Later, probably because they didn’t want to witness any more affectionate displays, they casually played another game and ended up on the opposing team against that couple. Naturally, Xie Xinglin obliterated them every time, causing them to surrender together and form a perfect pair.

He even forced the guy to stay in the fountain, apologizing to Su Qiuge.

After playing a few games, Su Qiuge helped prepare the hot pot. The decoration here leaned towards elegance, but the steaming hot pot brought a touch of liveliness to the villa. While eating hot pot, everyone drank ice-cold beer and chatted.

Han Ming seemed a little drunk and started complaining about how he couldn’t find a girlfriend all these years. Gao Jing, after a few drinks, suddenly became talkative and tearfully said, “Damn it, who made me choose the medical profession? Not only are there few girls, but I also have to study until I’m bald and memorize books every day.”

Hearing their complaints, Su Yuanzhou chimed in, “You still have it easy. My grandfather drags me around all the time, and all I see are old men. I even have to accompany him to company meetings. I’m really fed up.”

Seeing everyone opening up and sharing their struggles over the years, Wen Mingming couldn’t help but cry as well and said, “Why hasn’t my boyfriend come back to reconcile with me, wuwuwu…” She sobbed while stuffing a piece of tender beef into her mouth and let out a burp.

In the late night, a few people became intoxicated. Su Yuanzhou and Gao Jing started arguing over the last piece of shrimp paste, and they quarreled back and forth until the shrimp paste fell onto the table.

Originally, Gao Jing used to give in to Su Yuanzhou, but after getting drunk, he couldn’t care about that anymore. He directly started cursing at Su Yuanzhou, venting all the hardships and grievances he had endured over the years.

Su Yuanzhou gritted his teeth and pointed at Gao Jing, “Fine, you… so this is what you’ve always thought of me… We’re done! We’re done!!”

Gao Jing sneered, “We’re done then. Do you really think I care? I would be doing you a favor if I don’t punch you.”

Su Qiuge, who hadn’t drunk much, couldn’t help but find it amusing to see them like this. After all, they had been like this countless times before, almost coming to blows, but the next day they would pretend nothing had happened.

She watched as Xie Xinglin’s driver loaded everyone up like goods and sent them back to their respective homes.

Over the years, it seemed like everyone had grown up, learned new knowledge, met more people, and embarked on a broader world.

But it also felt like they hadn’t grown up at all because they were still themselves, unchanged, gradually merging with the shadows of their youth.

Time was a barrier, and those who didn’t part ways would probably never separate in this lifetime.

After they left, Su Qiuge felt a bit tired and went to take a hot shower in the bathroom. When she came out, Xie Xinglin had already tidied up the dining table. As they passed each other, he hesitated slightly and said to her, “I’ll take a shower later.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qiuge suddenly felt nervous and nodded. She lay on the bed, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom, as if it was beating against her heart.

Looking at the moon outside, she found it hard to fall asleep, feeling tormented.

After a while, she heard slow and steady footsteps. Her heartbeat grew faster.

At that moment, he lifted the blanket and softly called her, “Qiuqiu.” His voice fell within the room, carrying a deep resonance that struck her heart.

The warmth from the blanket spread to her heart, and immediately after, she softly responded.

He embraced her from behind and began gently kissing her lips.

The moonlight shone through the large French windows, bathing him in its glow. His black hair appeared soft, and his eyes were filled with tenderness, as if a devout worshiper was paying homage to the deity he believed in.

By now, the moon had risen higher.
