After Transmigration, the Male Lead and I Had a HE Chapter 149

Su Qiuge noticed that he didn’t say anything for so long and assumed he didn’t like it, so she let out a disappointed “oh.” Then she was about to put it into her pocket, “Just forget it if you don’t like it, I’ll bring it back for myself——”

She spoke halfway when she saw Xie Xinglin faintly bend his index fingers and took the pendant out of her hands. He slowly wrapped the pendant around his hand, then looked at her and unhurriedly said, “You just said you’re gifting it to me.”

Su Qiuge was taken aback. Then she nodded her head and said with a smile, “Yes, for you, Little Xingxing.”

**t/n: as mentioned before, the “xing” from his name is star, so she’s basically calling him “little star”

Su Qiuge originally wanted to use this opportunity to tease Xie Xinglin. After all, who told him to give her so many strange nicknames? So, she wanted to call him “Little Xingxing” to disgust him a little.

But there was unexpectedly no embarrassment on the other party’s face. Instead, he fixedly stared back at her.

He was originally born good-looking, and when meeting him face to face like this, there was an inexplicable feeling of being overshadowed. In addition, his gaze was so direct that it more or less made the person being watched feel a little nervous.

As a result, she moved her gaze away and promptly changed the topic, “I remember that there are a few shops with discounts up ahead, and there are even some people doing acrobatics. Do you want to go there and have a look?”

Although she said it was to watch performances, Su Qiuge still ended up buying a bunch of food.

The two strolled around and when they reached the end of the street, Su Qiuge had nearly eaten to a bursting point. She glanced at the night market that resembled a long dragon from afar. The neverending lights were so beautiful that it felt as if the Milky Way had arrived on Earth.

She softly sighed with deep emotions, “Luckily I decided to skip class tonight, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to eat so many delicious things. Look, the ginger milk curd at that shop is limited edition. They haven’t sold it for a long time.”

She shook the ginger milk curd in her hand, her face full of satisfaction.

As Su Qiuge continued to walk, she didn’t notice that the string tied to her left wrist had loosened. She moved her wrist at random, and the force caused the string to loosen further. Then, the Hello Kitty balloon flew away right in front of her. She had ginger milk curd in her left hand and fried milk in her right, she simply had no free hand to use. Therefore, she could only watch as the balloon flew away and got stuck in a tree not far away.

In the past, she’s already gotten used to this feeling. When you’ve climbed a lot of trees, these types of incidents were bound to happen. At worst, the butt will hurt when it lands on the ground and the most serious injury was just a fracture.

She even had some out-of-place thoughts that if she was still a kid, she might even hold the balloon and pretend to be a little flying princess as she landed. After all, who didn’t have these types of dreams as a child.

However, when she was a child, she rarely had her own balloons. No one bought any for her and she also couldn’t bear to spend the money that she had finally managed to save.

She let her imagination run wild for about 0.001 seconds.

But the pain that she imagined did not come as expected. Instead, she felt a pair of strong arms securely catch her.

At that moment, it was as if the flowing lights around them, the smell of food, and the lively and loud noise had all frozen delicately in time.

She really held the balloon and floated down, then lightly landed like a little princess.

It was just that this time, she landed in the arms of a youth that was watching from below.

As she stared at Xie Xinglin in a daze, the other’s gorgeous and beautiful appearance was bathed in darkness. The somber lights at the bottom of the eyes were faintly visible.

An alluring evil spirit in the human realm.

All the adjectives that she could think of failed to describe the impact his facial features brought to her at this time.

She could only quietly scold him in her heart, what was the point of being so good-looking?

Xie Xinglin didn’t know what she was secretly thinking, but when he saw her dazed appearance, it looked as if she had lost her way and then accidentally charged into his arms.

When he thought to this point, he lowered his eyes to look at her and exposed a careless smile, “You can even fall like this?”

And then, under her not very happy gaze, he curled his lips and said in a low voice, “Little Rubbish.”
