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.

**t/n: ginger milk curd is a type of pudding-like dessert and fried milk is a type of crispy snack with custard on the inside -- pictures (and recipes) are available on Google if you want to check them out

Xie Xinglin, who saw what happened, met her dumbfounded gaze.

He faintly hooked the corners of his mouth, “It looks like I’ve overestimated you, you could still let the balloon fly away like this.”

Su Qiuge：“……”

Su Qiuge tried to justify herself at all costs, “It’s clearly because you tied it too loose!!”

After she spoke, Su Qiuge promptly swallowed the food as much as she could, and then put the rest on the steps beside the street.

She walked over and stared at the balloon hanging from the tree. The whole person felt somewhat troubled. Then her eyes lit up when she suddenly noticed that there was a wall right next to it and there was some clutter under the wall.

It seems that she should be able to use the clutter to climb the wall.

As a result, she was somewhat unwilling to admit defeat as she said to Xie Xinglin, “I’ll just have to get it back. Who hasn’t been inattentive before?”

Once she finished, she easily navigated the clutter on the ground and climbed the wall. The speed was even quite fast. The wall wasn’t very high either, so she quickly reached the top.

Then she stepped on the wall with both feet. She held the tree trunk with one hand and reached for the hanging balloon with the other.

When she reached out, she seemed to have used all the strength in her body. Then when she finally got the balloon, she even flaunted it off in front of Xie Xinglin. The girl stood at a high altitude, face full of smiles. It was as if this wasn’t any trouble for her at all, but merely a funny incident.

She also stepped on the same clutter on her way down. She talked on her way down and said to Xie Xinglin, “Luckily it didn’t fly too far away. Seatmate, don’t you feel that I’m quite skilled? Let me tell you, when I used to get chased and beaten by a bunch of little rascals and couldn’t beat them, I’d climb a tree——”

Xie Xinglin was originally listening to her in silence. But when he heard how she used to be chased and beaten, his eyes faintly moved. Immediately afterward, he suddenly saw her foot slip and then a cry of surprise rang out.

——She stepped on air.

The girl held the Hello Kitty inflatable balloon and fell from midair. At this moment, she felt the tension caused by the collision between the balloon and the airflow through her hand. Su Qiuge unexpectedly did not find it all that scary.

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.”
