The Blind Lover-Chapter 187 - Benefits

“Xiaoxiao, please let me know if you need anything. I live alone. Occasionally, a few friends will come over for dinner. I’m very busy at work so it’s not as tidy as I like and I’m very sorry about the mess. You can take this room. I’ll get you new blanket and bedsheets later.”

He Bei stood awkwardly in front of Shi Xiao. He did not dare to look her in the eye at all. He kept avoiding her gaze. Although he pretended to be calm, his tone was still a little unnatural.

Shi Xiao naturally noticed He Bei’s flustered demeanor, she pursed her lips and said with a light smile, “Look at what you’re saying. I’m the guest here, I should apologize for troubling you. Let’s do some shopping later. I’ll familiarize myself with your neighborhood.”

He Bei did not realize that Shi Xiao had unknowingly stopped calling him big brother. Instead, she directly addressed him. Their relationship became much closer. He Bei even felt that he and Shi Xiao had known each other for a long time.

Shi Xiao sized up the house while He Bei went to change his clothes.

It was a high-end residential area close to downtown. The decoration was exquisite and the size of the house was large. In a place like M City, where every inch of land was expensive, it should be worth more than five million yuan.

If it was in the past, Shi Xiao was still the daughter of the Shi family. She would definitely not think much about a house like this. However, after experiencing bankruptcy and the days of living in a rented house, it was a hard fall from grace.

Although she did not really want to get close to He Bei, he would be a good stepping stone for the time being.

Shi Xiao was very confident in her own abilities. She firmly believed that she could marry into a rich family and become a rich wife. Moreover, with Qin Yu as a contrast, she was even more unwilling to live her life in mediocrity.

She had to be stronger than Qin Yu.

Shi Xiao raised her chin and looked at the 40 square meters decorated room of the He Family with some disdain in her eyes. However, when she heard the footsteps behind her, she quickly put away the arrogance in her eyes, and changed into a warm and gentle smile.

He Bei changed into casual sportswear. He looked like a college student in his twenties. His temperament was clean and sunny. He was the type that young girls would like.

Shi Xiao’s eyes lit up. She smiled gently and held He Bei’s hand. “Shall we?” 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

When Shi Xiao made such an intimate gesture, it was as if she was a little girl. He Bei wasn’t comfortable with the situation at first, but after she called him that.., he realized he might have been overthinking.

However, the petite and beautiful girl was half leaning against his body. Since when had He Bei, who had been single since birth, ever experienced such emotions? He Bei was so nervous that beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

Shi Xiao could naturally feel the man’s body stiffening, but she pretended not to notice. She continued to smile sweetly and cutely, and said in a delicate voice, “Is there any good restaurants around? I’m a little hungry. Shall we have something to eat first?”

He Bei dared not refuse. He chose a upscale Japanese restaurant and off they went.

After the meal, they went shopping. He Bei bought Shi Xiao some daily necessities. bedding and pillows. Seeing that Shi Xiao did not bring any clothes when she came to his house, there was quite a lot he purchased for the girl.

Shi Xiao said that she didn’t want He Bei to spend much, but at the same time, she had a longing look on her face when she saw the clothes displaying on the shelves. He Bei was a person who barely buys clothes but now he bought Shi Xiao a dozen of them, all in one go. Only when their hands were full of bags did they exited the mall.

When they returned home, He Bei put down the purchases and was about to rub his sore arm when a figure flashed in front of him. Shi Xiao suddenly pounced into her arms.

“Xiaoxiao, you, what’s wrong with you…”

She was very happy when she went shopping just now. Why did she suddenly..

Was she crying?

Shi Xiao’s body trembled slightly as she let out a soft sob. Then, she slowly raised her head, with her big watery eyes looking at He Bei. “You’re so nice to me. I’ve always wanted a brother who treats me well since I was young. However, God only gave me a vicious and mean elder sister. My parents usually don’t pamper me this much. I really didn’t think that there would be someone who could pamper me like this…”

Shi Xiao had just spent a large sum of money on He Bei. In order for He Bei to not feel bad, she would begin manipulating him by giving him some benefits and an assumption. This way, He Bei would be more willing to spend money on her in the future.

“This… what’s the big deal? Don’t girls just need to be well-protected and loved?” He Bei felt the warmth in his arms, and he was so nervous that he stuttered.
