The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 378 - 377: Then I’ll Call You This From Now On

Lin Shuang’s temperature which had just decreased slightly, shot up again.

It’s going to explode!

"I... I didn’t..."

Xia Yubing’s mouth twitched downward, "Senior, it’s not like I absolutely have to marry you."

Hearing this, Lin Shuang turned his head to look at her somewhat anxiously, "...I have thought about it, really thought about it."

The fickle junior flashed a smile, "Really?"

That close smile deeply made Lin Shuang appreciate the brilliance of the phrase "bright eyes."

He swallowed, "...Really."

The brilliance in Xia Yubing’s eyes grew more dazzling, "Senior really is full of thoughts about marrying me."

The orange-scented summer breeze brushed between them, their gazes met across the warm breeze, drawing closer and closer.

Lin Shuang’s heart, throbbing as if to jump out of his throat, told him that this was the moment to kiss her.

But Xia Yubing beat him to it, lowering her head and leaving a kiss on his cheek.

The orange-scented breeze stopped, Xia Yubing turned away in panic, her skirt stirring up a fragrant breeze.

"...But you can’t, you have to confess to me first."

Lin Shuang touched the moist warmth left on his cheek with a finger.

"I..."

Xia Yubing covered his mouth, "It’s too late for a ticket now! Senior, you must prepare well~"

Lin Shuang nodded, "...Okay, I promise you, Yubing."

"Hehe~" freeweɓnøvel~com

Xia Yubing picked up the play’s script, covering her blushing cheeks, "Then let’s... continue talking about revising the script, Senior."

"Do as you please... Let’s have a wedding on the stage."

Lin Shuang already had an initial idea in his mind: That moment on the stage would be a good opportunity to confess.

Xia Yubing tapped him with the script, "It’s Romeo and Juliet’s wedding~"

Lin Shuang grinned foolishly, "Okay, okay~"

"Hmph, I think this adaptation is pretty good, don’t you think?"

Xia Yubing continued covering her face with the script, "After all, everyone is familiar with the story of Romeo and Juliet before the end, and we’ll have this wedding on stage within a limited time, so everyone will understand that we’ve changed the tragic ending into a grand finale~"

Lin Shuang suspected that she just wanted to have a romantic moment with him—evidence lingered on his face, as the kiss she left was still moist.

But he definitely wouldn’t expose her, because he wanted it too.

"Hmm, that makes sense."

"But, I still feel like something is missing~"

Lin Shuang listened attentively, "What’s missing?"

"After Romeo and Juliet get married, how will they refer to each other?"

"...Darling?"

"Ey~"

Xia Yubing squinted her eyes with a smile, agreed with a sound, then hid behind the script again.

Fishing, huh!

Lin Shuang felt like he was at a bit of a loss, he cleared his throat and asked her likewise, "After Romeo and Juliet get married, how will they refer to each other?"

"I’m not falling for that, hehe~"

Xia Yubing tilted her head, peeking at him from behind the script, "So, I feel like calling each other that is still a bit too Westernized, lacking a bit of meaning."

"What should we do then."

"Um, let’s have a Chinese-style wedding... no, I mean, let’s have a Chinese-style wedding for Romeo and Juliet."

Lin Shuang nodded repeatedly, "I get it, I get it."

So we’re giving Romeo and Juliet a Chinese makeover, huh? This adaptation is quite bold!

Adaptation is not fabrication, and storytelling is not nonsense!

But Lin Shuang also likes Chinese weddings... So, well done on the adaptation!

He took the initiative and asked her, "So, what should Romeo and Juliet call each other after the Chinese wedding?"

Xia Yubing smiled sweetly at him, "What should they call each other?"

Lin Shuang looked at her for a while, then turned to pretend to look at the scenery outside the window, "You tell me."

He looked at the scenery for quite some time, and Xia Yubing didn’t speak. He thought to turn his head to look at her again when finally some noise arose.

Xia Yubing stood up, sat down beside him on the ground, and leaned close to his ear.

"Husband~"

The entire world exploded in Lin Shuang’s mind, turning into orange juice, sour and sweet filling his brain.

He hadn’t yet regained his senses when Xia Yubing called out again.

"Husband~"

This time it really mixed up the orange juice in his brain, about to turn into sparkling orange water and spray out.

Puff puff puff, a volcanic eruption!

Xia Yubing got more enthusiastic, continuously breathing into his ear, "Oh la la, could it be that senior is mesmerized by me? You want to hear me call you husband that much? Husband?"

Lin Shuang was really about to faint, gasping heavily.

Xia Yubing’s voice was as sweet as sparkling orange water, "So, should I just call you husband from now on? Senior? Um, just for practicing the script of the play, okay?"

This is not a sugar-free formula; it’s full-sugar sparkling orange water.

Lin Shuang wanted to gulp it down, "Okay..."

He finally reached out, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, "...This is also for practicing our play."

Xia Yubing closed her eyes, nestled in his arms, "Our script doesn’t seem to have a hugging scene, right? But if husband likes it, I’ll add it."

"Can we also add..."

"Don’t even think about it, hubby? We agreed it’s only after confessing!"

Though she said that, Xia Yubing leaned in and kissed him on the other cheek.

Now it’s symmetrical! Both sides have it!

The two hugged each other, listening to the wind outside, the shouts of students exercising on the playground, the sound of reading from the distant teaching building, the end-of-class bell ringing, soon followed by the start-of-class bell.

They wished they could keep holding each other forever, but unexpectedly, the door of the activity room was opened.

Xia Yubing had locked the door; the only person who could use a key to open it now was...

The two flusteredly separated as they turned to look at the "uninvited guest" standing by the door.

It was the long-unseen president of the Gardening Club.

Lin Shuang greeted her, "...Little Dove? Long time no see."

Xia Yubing pushed him outward from behind, "Alright, hubby, go wash your face first."

Tong Ge just stood leisurely at the doorway, expressionless, watching the two push and shove.

Lin Shuang was driven to the restroom on that floor, leaving Xia Yubing and Tong Ge alone in the activity room of the Gardening Club.

Xia Yubing also greeted her, "Long time no see, our Ghost President finally found time to visit the club, huh?"

Tong Ge crossed her arms, her nostrils twitching slightly.

"...There’s a completely lewd scent of heat in the activity room. How many children do you plan to have with him while I’m not around?"

She turned her head to look at Xia Yubing, pronouncing each word distinctly, "Stealing, aroma, cat?"
