She hooked her arm around his wrist, "Was I a bit too extreme just now?"

Xiao Lin shook his head. He was indeed a bit tired, but he had no objections to Xia Xue's attentiveness.

"Did something happen?" Xia Xue asked softly.

"I'll take you back."

"I don't want to go back to the Xia Family tonight." Xia Xue leaned her head on Xiao Lin's shoulder, "Can we just walk back like this?"

Silently agreeing, the two walked along the path, exiting through the side gate of Yan University.

"Where did Dan Qing's kidney come from? The hospital is saying..."

"The black market!" Xiao Lin had no intention of hiding this from Xia Xue. She stopped in her tracks, lifted her watery eyes filled with concern.

"Do you know this is illegal?"

"Saving a life is more important than anything else. We'll figure out a way to patch up the paperwork later."

"Is it that simple?" Xia Xue insisted on asking, "You're so careful with everything, how could this matter have become the talk of the school?"

"The school?"

"Yes, everyone is discussing it. Your successful surgery might have made some people jealous, questioning the source of your kidney." Xia Xue continued to walk forward with Xiao Lin, her worries were not without reason. Clearly, someone was deliberately stirring gossip to undermine Xiao Lin.

"Haha!" Xiao Lin laughed.

"You can still laugh? I'm worried sick about you." Xia Xue unhappily shook off Xiao Lin's hand, sulking by leaning to one side.

"What are you worried about me for?" Xiao Lin leaned over, the thick tree trunk casting shadows from the streetlights. His breath, warm on Xia Xue's neck, made her shake her head repeatedly, her hair brushing against Xiao Lin's cheeks, causing a tingling sensation.

"What's on your mind?" Xiao Lin sat down next to Xia Xue, picked up a piece of bacon, and put it in his mouth. "Are you thinking about your husband's heroic deeds?"

"Go away!" Xia Xue pushed him out of her line of sight. "There's the information you wanted in my bag."

"What's in there?" Xiao Lin got out of bed and rummaged through Xia Xue's bag for a plastic folder. "Is it that cosmetic ingredient analysis report?"

"Yes!" Eating her lovingly prepared egg, Xia Xue nodded vigorously, then patted the spot next to her, signaling him to come sit. "This product is mainly aimed at customers aged forty and above. I saw the advertisement; it's a whitening and anti-wrinkle product with the premise of preventing aging."

"Not too high, not too high, just enough to view these things." A slap landed on his head, and Xia Xue unhappily bit Xiao Lin's neck.

"Why didn't you dodge!" Not even a grunt, Xia Xue compassionately rubbed the shoulder she had bitten, leaving teeth marks.

"Aren't you still in the teething phase, biting everything you see? I'm sacrificing myself for your sake. It's better than you biting something else."

Another slap landed, and Xia Xue angrily widened her eyes. "Are you mocking me as a child?"

"Am not!" Entering the password into the dialog box, a review command prompt appeared on the screen.

"To ensure the accuracy of the inspection results, I need more detailed data analysis." Xiao Lin sipped his coffee. "Where are you going?"

"The fridge is empty. If I don't go buy something, what are we going to eat?" Xia Xue put on her coat. "You still haven't answered my question, between me and Lian, whose chest is bigger?" Facing the mirror, Xia Xue compared her own chest.

This time, Xiao Lin learned his lesson, swallowing his coffee back. He turned his head to glance at Xia Xue's chest, his mind flashing to an image of Lian. "Uh, Lian's is bigger, yours is higher."

"Get lost!" Telling the truth resulted in a bump on his head. This woman is ruthless; that bump was made by a heavy metal accessory, not smashing it into someone's head would be surprising.

Rubbing his head, Xiao Lin innocently stared at the slamming door, which made a loud noise. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, your support is my greatest motivation.)
