If You Are a Dodder Flower Chapter 65 part3

The young girls who admired him at the company would find ways to get their hands on show tickets that were not easy to get. In the end he went with them, but after the show was over, he would insist on paying for both tickets.

Xia Rou couldn’t control the smile that welled up on her face. And in that instant, Wei Qi’s nervousness washed away and he shone like the sun, his face widening into a grin.

His stomach then growled its displeasure again.

Xia Rou really couldn’t hold back and let out a laugh. “Let’s go and eat first. Don’t starve.”

“Mn!” answered Wei Qi joyfully, shoveling a spoonful of rice into his mouth.

There was a saying: a beauty was a feast for the eyes. And so his appetite was especially good that day.

After they finished eating, he walked Xia Rou back to her dorm.

“I owe you one,” he said, gaze hot. “Do you have time this weekend? I’ll treat you to a meal.”

A meal in the cafeteria was only twelve dollars.

Xia Rou agreed with a smile. The two of them arranged to meet on Saturday.

She went upstairs and turned the corner to take a peek. Wei Qi was still standing there, head raised and looking at her. Seeing her look back, he couldn’t help but smile.

His face truly glowed. Translated by The Novelst

It was the light of a happy love.

Xia Rou chuckled and went inside her room.

The tender sentiment of a young girl and the youth of a man: experiencing it slowly for the first time, she could finally could tell how beautiful it was.

In the past she lived a silly life, her eyes blinded by wealth. She didn’t know what other wonderful things she had missed.

Now she needed to think it through and see what else she missed. And in this life, she would make it all up!

Cao Yang asked Xia Rou on Friday if she wanted to go to the ski facility at Cao Xing’s location.

Xia Rou said, “I can’t. I’m busy that day.”

Cao Yang thought she was meeting with her friends and he was happy to see her expanding her social network. It wasn’t a bad thing to have more friends.

“Then let’s make plans for next weekend. Don’t plan any hangouts next week.”

“Okay.”

That Saturday was truly warm and lovely.

Wei Qi arrived at the restaurant early, specifically choosing a seat near the window and gazing outside.

When he saw the taxi stop and watched a girl step out into the sunlight, Wei Qi felt flowers blooming in his heart.

Their meal went slowly. Even ordering took them some time. It was because Wei Qi asked Xia Rou’s opinion, what she liked to eat, what she didn’t like to eat, and what foods she avoided.

Even the waiter wanted to roll his eyes.

Xia Rou couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t be like that,” she said. “You’ll learn.”

Oh right! Next time; they would meet more in the future! There was no hurry at all. Wei Qi rubbed his head and smiled clumsily, ordering a few dishes that Xia Rou had nodded at just then.

Xia Rou almost wanted to doubt that this Wei Qi was the same Wei Qi of her past.

He was a very smart and capable person. No matter how many times she rejected him, he kept a straight face and persistently continued with what he wanted to do: like and pursue her.

It seemed that society had really shaped him. In just a few years’ time, it would mold a boy who still possessed the innocence of childhood into a man with his own way of doing things.

She asked him about his work.

Wei Qi was surprised to see that she actually understood his company well. It was good to see, and it wasn’t a bad topic to start with. The two of them began to chat further.

Once they finished eating, they went to watch a movie. Like other silly couples, they shared a large-sized drink and a large bucket of popcorn.

His taste in movies wasn’t bad. They both had a great time.

Once the movie was over, Xia Rou said she wanted to go home.

It was only the late afternoon. If they were to act in accordance with Wei Qi’s wishes, they would be eating dinner together too.

But he also knew that though they liked each other, these kinds of things should only be done step by step.

The most wonderful part of love was the process.

They still had a long way to go. Though the inside of his heart raged with a hot fire, he didn’t want to rush. He was afraid to scare her off and let the chance slip away.

He planned to send her back home, but Xia Rou rejected him.

Xia Rou thought for a moment and decided to make up an excuse.

“My house… they’re quite strict. They might not like to see me dating a boyfriend when I’m only in my first year,” she said. “That’s why… it’s better not to tell them at first.”

When Wei Qi heard the first half of the sentence, he tensed up. But hearing the latter half, his heart began to burst with joy.

So he ushered Xia Rou to a taxi to take alone. But he considerately used his phone to take a photo of the license plate and the driver’s license number. He was also generous enough to be obvious about his actions to let the driver know what he was doing.

The driver didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Little kid, the day is still bright right now! Even if I’m a bad guy, I can’t be committing crime in the daylight!”

Wei Qi rested his head on the window, grinning. “Better safe than sorry. Nothing can happen to her!”

The driver facepalmed.

On the road, he asked Xia Rou, “That’s your boyfriend, huh?”

Xia Rou said yes. Translated by The Novelst

The driver said, “He doesn’t seem bad. Very considerate!”

Xia Rou answered, “Mm, that’s how he is.” After saying that, she turned her head to look out the window.

Outside the window, white clouds drifted through the blue sky, a very comforting sight.
