Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Traveling Together (2)_1

"Hmph, at least you know what’s what," Situ Xin muttered to herself as she watched Baibai disappear in the blink of an eye within the space.

"Hm? Xiao Xin, what did you say?" Xiao Muli, who was diligently arranging the meal for Situ Xin, heard her muttering and asked.

"Ah, nothing, I didn’t say anything," Situ Xin replied quickly, not wanting to linger on the subject. "Brother Muli, you go ahead with your own, I can handle mine." As she spoke, Situ Xin tried to take her meal box from Xiao Muli’s hands.

But Xiao Muli avoided her attempt. "It’s fine, I can do it," he said. The airplane meal really wasn’t palatable. Situ Xin had taken a small bite and couldn’t bring herself to take a second.

"Xiao Xin, try to eat a little, here, this one isn’t bad," Xiao Muli turned and saw Situ Xin holding her chopsticks and just staring at the food without moving them, indicating for her to start eating.

Situ Xin completely disagreed with Xiao Muli’s assessment of "not bad." She bit her chopsticks and looked up at Xiao Muli with a pitiable expression, saying, "Brother Muli, I don’t want to eat anymore, I’ll just have some fruit later." Situ Xin had just finished speaking when she saw Xiao Muli’s disapproving face as he was about to speak.

Situ Xin didn’t give him a chance to talk, saying, "Brother Muli, this food is really awful." With that, Situ Xin put down her chopsticks, resolute in not eating any more.

Xiao Muli looked at the determined Situ Xin and knew that no matter what he said, the girl wouldn’t pick up her chopsticks again. He had no choice but to say, "Alright, have some fruit then."

Situ Xin, having received Xiao Muli’s approval, instantly brushed off her pitiable look, her eyes squinted in a smile, and quickly called over the flight attendant. "Hello, please take all these away." Situ Xin felt that removing the food quickly was the safest choice.

Xiao Muli, seeing Situ Xin’s scheming face, felt helpless but oddly pleased.

Situ Xin, however, did not realize that she had unconsciously started showing the coquettish behavior of a young girl in front of Xiao Muli, something she used to do only in front of her family.

"Xiao Xin, about the proposal I made before, what do you think?" Xiao Muli looked at his watch, seeing that the plane was getting closer to its destination. He couldn’t resist raising the question that had been on his mind since he saw Situ Xin at the airport.

"What proposal?" Situ Xin was flipping through the information on her Jade Token to pass the time, so when Xiao Muli suddenly started asking, she was a bit out of it. She looked up at him, puzzled.

Seeing the bemused look in Situ Xin’s eyes when she looked at him, he had an itchy feeling, a desire to go over there, take her into his arms, and perhaps lower his head to deeply kiss her tempting, red lips.

Xiao Muli realized just how greedy human nature could be. Before, when he had acknowledged his feelings for Situ Xin, he thought how wonderful it would be to just hold her hand. After actually holding her hand, that wasn’t enough; he desired to hold her close, to feel her soft body. Yet, even after embracing her, it still wasn’t enough; he wanted to take things further.

Xiao Muli controlled the urge to pull Situ Xin into his arms and whispered into her ear, "Xiao Xin,"

"Ah! Brother Muli, why are you talking so close to me? Sit up," Situ Xin, feeling Xiao Muli’s breath on her ear, wriggled uncomfortably as a strange feeling rose in her heart.

Situ Xin pushed against Xiao Muli, trying to keep him at a distance. However, Xiao Muli didn’t budge, only smiling as he continued, "Xiao Xin. Have you forgotten? I told you before that I like you and want you to be my girlfriend. You said you needed to think about it. So now, aren’t you ready to give me an answer? Hm?"

Hearing Xiao Muli mention this, Situ Xin suddenly couldn’t bear to look at him. She turned her gaze away, her heart pounding uncontrollably, "That matter, well, I, still, haven’t decided."

Situ Xin didn’t understand why she was so out of sorts today. Previously, facing the confessions from Xiao Muli, from Yu Qihao, she hadn’t been shy at all, nor did she feel uncomfortable, but now, she was far from her usual composure.

"Not decided yet? I remember you saying that you’ll give us an answer at the start of the semester. But it’s been such a long time; how could you still be undecided?" Xiao Muli saw that Situ Xin’s heart was already in turmoil because of him. This emboldened him to press her for an answer. Previously, he would never dare to push Situ Xin like this, fearing he might push her away.

Not liking her current state, Situ Xin took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. She thought that if she couldn’t steady her emotions, she might start reciting her Cultivation Technique. "Yes, I did promise you an answer. Just let me think a bit more, and I’ll give you one later."

"Okay," Xiao Muli knew better than to press too hard. Since Situ Xin said she needed to think, then he would let her think. But secretly, he was resolved that even if she rejected him, he would not let go. In his heart, he had already chosen Situ Xin.

For a lifetime, Xiao Muli was set on Situ Xin, wanting no one else but her.

Situ Xin had no aversion to Xiao Muli becoming her boyfriend, her future husband. She had felt this way before and still did. But now, just the thought of Xiao Muli becoming her boyfriend stirred an indescribable excitement within her.

Sneakily, Situ Xin glanced at Xiao Muli, briefly admiring his handsome face before quickly averting her gaze once more. "Cough," she cleared her throat.
