White Wei followed behind Lin Xi all day like she was protecting a little chick, afraid that Lin Xi might have another accident. Lin Xi was like a child, too naive for her own good, and White Wei couldn't help but worry.
Seeing Lin Xi's good spirits today, it seemed that Chen Shi Yi didn't have much of an impact on her, so White Wei felt relieved.
Lin Xi and White Wei shared a dorm room, and they hardly ever had conflicts. Plus, their personalities clicked, making their relationship even closer.
As May approached, the weather gradually warmed up, becoming quite hot. They took turns going to the bathroom to shower.
White Wei went first, leaving Lin Xi alone in the dorm room.
The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom, offering a refreshing feeling even to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's phone had been broken by Chen Shi Yi, and she planned to buy a new one tomorrow, as it was really inconvenient not to have one.
As Lin Xi was thinking, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She got up to open it and found a classmate from her class, Liu Yue, standing there. They could hold a decent conversation.
Liu Yue held a white bag in her hand. "Xi Xi, my boyfriend said his friend wanted me to give you something." She lifted the bag slightly.
Lin Xi reached out and took the bag, thanking her.
Back in the dorm room, she opened the bag to find the latest model of a cellphone and a card inside.
The card read: "Little girl, I heard your phone broke, so I bought you a new one. I've organized everything, so you can use it right away. - Signed, A Chuan."
It was Tang Mingchuan who had bought the phone for her. He was really thoughtful, even helping her transfer all the data from her old phone to the new one.
Lin Xi's lips curved up lightly, feeling a sweetness in her heart. The phone looked expensive. Lin Xi carefully picked it up, thinking about using the money she earned from her part-time job at the convenience store to buy something for Tang Mingchuan.
White Wei came out of the bathroom drying her hair and saw Lin Xi holding the new phone.
"Wow, this is the latest model of the phone! Who bought it for you?" White Wei could tell the phone was expensive at a glance.
"It's from A Chuan," Lin Xi replied, referring to Tang Mingchuan, "He asked Liu Yue to bring it to me."
"I envy you so much! Professor Tang is wealthy and handsome. When will I ever have such high-quality love?" White Wei hugged Lin Xi, pouting her lips.
She had had several boyfriends, but none of them were good men. Thinking about Lin Xi, even though she only had one boyfriend, he was so outstanding that he could easily match several of hers.
Lin Xi smiled. She felt incredibly lucky to have met Tang Mingchuan.
Lin Xi called Tang Mingchuan from the balcony. Tang Mingchuan was already thinking about his little girl when she called.
"How's the new phone? Are you getting used to it?" Tang Mingchuan's voice came through the phone.
Somehow, just hearing Tang Mingchuan's voice was enough to make Lin Xi's heart flutter.
"Yeah, it's a really nice phone," Lin Xi replied.
"I was worried about causing gossip if I delivered it directly to you," Tang Mingchuan explained.
"I understand," she said, understanding his concerns.
Tang Mingchuan chuckled. "Little girl, I miss you."
Lin Xi's face turned red. "Tomorrow is the weekend. Are you free?" she asked, wanting to give him a gift.
Lin Xi took the initiative to invite herself, and even if he wasn't free, he would make time for her.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi went to take a shower. She was going to see Tang Mingchuan tomorrow, so she needed to tidy herself up. All the little thoughts of a daughter would be revealed.
Tang Mingchuan looked out the window at the lights of the city. He didn't feel as envious anymore, because he had met Lin Xi.
Tang Mingchuan hadn't told Lin Xi that he had set up a location tracking system in her phone. In case Lin Xi was in any danger, he could know her location at any time.
He was afraid that if Lin Xi knew he had installed a tracking system in her phone, she would overthink, and Tang Mingchuan hoped he would never need to use it.

Lin Xi got up early, picking out clothes and trying them on in front of the mirror one by one.
White Wei rubbed her eyes and sat on the bed, thinking that love really made people more beautiful.
"Wei Wei, which one do you think is better between these two?" Lin Xi held up a floral grid skirt and a white chiffon skirt.
The weather in the south was always warm, perfect for wearing skirts on days like this.
White Wei carefully looked at the clothes in Lin Xi's hands.
Lin Xi was pretty, and she looked good in anything. She liked to wear elegant colors that made her look simple and quiet.
"Go with the floral one to change up your style," White Wei pointed to the floral skirt. Lin Xi tied her hair into a bun, adorned with a butterfly bow hairpin, and put on the floral skirt. She wore white sneakers on her feet, making her look youthful and beautiful.
Lin Xi wasn't good at makeup, but she had good skin. A simple touch of makeup made her look very delicate.
Tang Mingchuan was waiting for Lin Xi at the school gate. He saw the girl running towards him in a beautiful little dress from afar.
Tang Mingchuan's heart softened. She was running towards him like this.
"Xi Xi, you look so beautiful. I'm feeling quite threatened," Tang Mingchuan whispered in Lin Xi's ear, hugging her.
He was really afraid that someone would snatch his little girl away. Now that she was attracting attention in college, she would surely attract even more attention once she entered society.
Lin Xi held Tang Mingchuan's hand. "You're not confident enough. You're the best in my eyes," she said.
Just a simple sentence made Tang Mingchuan feel much more at ease.
Unconsciously, the two became closer, and their feelings escalated quickly. "Let's go, let's go shopping," Lin Xi said, pulling Tang Mingchuan's hand to go out.
The two went to the mall, and Lin Xi led Tang Mingchuan to a men's clothing store.
"Why did you bring me here, little girl?" Tang Mingchuan let Lin Xi hold his hand.
"I want
to buy you an outfit. You bought me a phone, so I always want to give you something," Lin Xi felt that good feelings should be mutual. She didn't want Tang Mingchuan to unilaterally give. She believed that good feelings should be mutual, and she would do her best to give Tang Mingchuan the best, because he deserved it.
Tang Mingchuan listened to Lin Xi's words and felt like he had hit the jackpot. Lin Xi was such a good person, shining like a ray of light in Tang Mingchuan's twenty-something years of darkness.
He held Lin Xi's hand tightly, not wanting to let go, wanting to hold on like this for a lifetime.
Lin Xi and Tang Mingchuan walked around the store, attracting attention as they went.
Lin Xi picked out a white half-sleeve shirt, clean and high-quality, and tried it on Tang Mingchuan.
"Want to try it on?" Lin Xi asked for Tang Mingchuan's opinion.
He liked anything Lin Xi picked out, so he took the shirt and went to the fitting room to try it on.
Tang Mingchuan had a good figure, a natural clothes hanger, and looked good in anything.
As they walked around the store, they attracted a lot of attention as a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Lin Xi picked out a white half-sleeve shirt, clean and high-quality, and tried it on Tang Mingchuan.
"Do you want to try it on?" Lin Xi asked for Tang Mingchuan's opinion.
As long as Lin Xi picked it out, he liked it. He took the shirt and went to the fitting room to try it on.
Tang Mingchuan had a good figure, a natural clothes hanger, and looked good in anything.
