Chapter 59

Chapter 15: I'll Help You

After watching the movie, the two of them walked around the playground, talking in circles.

Li Yi whispered softly, "Don't go back to the dormitory tonight."

Guo Xiaoling looked at him, her face slightly flushed, and asked, "What bad things are you planning?"

Li Yi laughed, "I rented a place outside. My mom is there too. Let's stay there for the night."

Guo Xiaoling didn't answer, nor did she refuse. Li Yi reached out and held her slender hand, leading her out of the school. As they passed a dense forest, they heard a girl's suppressed laughter, which made Guo Xiaoling quicken her pace. She couldn't help but glance at Li Yi, who was smiling mischievously as he admired her curvaceous back.

"What are you thinking about?" Guo Xiaoling asked, both embarrassed and annoyed.

"Whatever you're thinking, I'm thinking the same!" Li Yi said with a naughty smile, his hand wandering to her slim waist.

"Hehehe! It tickles!" Guo Xiaoling giggled, breaking free from Li Yi's hand and running forward.

Li Yi chuckled and followed her.

When they arrived at the house, Li Yi knocked on the door.

Fang Fang asked from behind the door who it was, and Li Yi responded.

Upon hearing it was Li Yi, Fang Fang got angry, "You little rascal, you still know how to come home!" She opened the door, about to scold him, but then saw the slender and beautiful Guo Xiaoling and immediately smiled, "Oh, young people, it's understandable to stay out late, just be careful. Xiaoling, it's been a long time. You haven't visited since we moved to the new house."

Guo Xiaoling smiled, "Yes, I'll definitely come to visit you more often, Auntie." She noticed the change in Fang Fang and thought, "Has Li Yi really become so successful?"

Fang Fang was busy preparing water for Guo Xiaoling to take a shower. Guo Xiaoling said, "Auntie, no need to trouble yourself. In this weather, I usually take a cold shower."

Fang Fang replied, "How can that be? Women are different from men. Men are robust, but women are delicate. Cold water can be harmful, especially during that time of the month. It can cause long-term health issues."

Guo Xiaoling nodded. Her mother had never talked to her about such private matters, and she felt a sudden warmth and closeness.

Li Yi watched them, suddenly feeling that this kind of life was quite warm and harmonious.

Fang Fang opened up, "Xiaoling, you must keep a close eye on my Li Yi. Don't let him misbehave outside."

Li Yi looked innocent, "Mom, when have I ever misbehaved?"

Guo Xiaoling blushed, "I can't control him."

Fang Fang said, "Oh, did you see that news? It was so funny. A man proposed to his girlfriend in the central square, surrounded by roses! Li Yi, you should learn from him. Look at how he pursued his girlfriend, it's really... I don't even know how to describe it."

Li Yi and Guo Xiaoling exchanged a smile.

Guo Xiaoling smiled, "Auntie, those roses were placed by Li Yi."

Fang Fang clapped her hands, "Oh! Xiaoling, that's right, you're Xiaoling! I just didn't think of it! So, Li Yi was proposing to you?"

Li Yi laughed, "Mom, it wasn't a proposal! We're still students."

Fang Fang smiled warmly, holding Guo Xiaoling's hand and examining her closely, "Not bad, really not bad. It seems you've agreed, otherwise, you wouldn't have come into our home, right?"

Guo Xiaoling looked at Li Yi for help.

Li Yi cleared his throat, "Mom, that day was Xiaoling's birthday. I was celebrating it for her. We're dating now, but marriage is still a long way off. Mom, you don't need to worry. Go back to your room and sleep. We can take care of ourselves."

Fang Fang laughed, "I know you think I'm in the way. Fine, I'll go back to my room and sleep. You two should also go to bed early after your shower!"

After her shower, Guo Xiaoling came out in old clothes. Li Yi smiled, "There are only two rooms. You take the bedroom, and I'll take the living room."

Guo Xiaoling nodded and entered the room, then poked her head out, "Li Yi, the bed is big. You can come in and sleep too." She quickly pulled her head back in.

Li Yi jumped up as if pricked by a needle, rushed to take a shower, and then quickly entered the bedroom.

When the bedroom door slammed shut, Fang Fang poked her head out of her room, looked around, smiled contentedly, and then closed the door to sleep.

Guo Xiaoling lay on the edge of the bed, wrapped in half a blanket, lying on her side.

Li Yi got into bed and cleared his throat.

Guo Xiaoling said, "Go to sleep."

Li Yi moved closer to her, reaching out from behind to wrap his arms around her waist.

Guo Xiaoling's body stiffened.

Li Yi, smelling her scent, began to breathe heavily.

Guo Xiaoling giggled, "It tickles!" She turned to face Li Yi.

They were very close, their noses touching. Li Yi slowly leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Li Yi tenderly moved her hand away, took a small blanket, and covered her stomach, then kissed her lips and quickly fell asleep.

Guo Xiaoling slept well. When she opened her eyes, she saw the curtains were closed, and Li Yi had already gotten up.

She stretched lazily, sat up, and saw a brand new dress on the bedside table, with red and purple floral patterns, a classic style. She picked it up in surprise and saw a set of underwear underneath! The underwear and dress had no tags, indicating they had been dry cleaned and ironed.

She shyly picked them up, checked the size, and found it was a perfect fit. A sweet feeling welled up in her heart. She took off her old clothes, put on the underwear, and slipped into the new dress. She stood on the bed and twirled, feeling an incredible sense of happiness.

When she bent down to put on her shoes, she saw a pair of sky-blue high heels at the foot of the bed, her favorite color. She tried them on, and they fit perfectly.

She went to the full-length mirror in the wardrobe and admired herself, making several poses.

She was so happy!

On the desk, there was a new comb and a crystal hair clip.

"Really thoughtful!" Guo Xiaoling praised him, happily picking up the comb and humming a tune as she combed her long hair, like a joyful new bride.
