After Transmigration, the Male Lead and I Had a HE Chapter 158

The cold fragrance drilled out of the shop like a snake, arousing the gluttony of passerbys.

The packaging and decoration of this shop was also very stylish. It was a well-known dessert shop in this area and was also famous on the internet. Whether it was office workers or college students, they all liked to come here to buy desserts and take photos.

It coincided that today was the second day for the half-price sale event, so the line was even longer than usual. It went straight out the door.

Su Qiuge originally wanted to step in line, but as soon as she took a step, Xie Xinglin threw her bag into her arms.

Su Qiuge received an armful and retreated a few steps before landing on a small stool outside of the shop. She heard the boy say, “Just sit there and keep an eye on the stuff, wait for me.”

Su Qiuge asked, “Why don’t I treat you instead?”

The boy didn’t turn around to respond and Su Qiuge shrugged her shoulders.

She obediently sat nearby and waited as she played on her phone.

When Xie Xinglin walked over with two ice-cream cones, she took the strawberry-flavored one from him.

Then, she saw a label attached to the strawberry ice cream. It was a drawing of a cute little bear with a dialogue bubble next to it. It said: Half Price!

“……”

So the strawberry-flavored ice cream in her hand was the second one that was half off?

Why did she suddenly feel like she was extraordinarily cheap, as if she was worthless and redundant?

She couldn’t help but examine Xie Xinglin’s cone. Its outer appearance appeared much more elegant and classy than the strawberry-flavored one in her hand. In addition, there was even a delicious and tempting piece of chocolate on top.

Su Qiuge stared at that piece of chocolate on Xie XInglin’s ice cream for a while, then subconsciously licked the corner of her lips. When Xie Xinglin’s gaze moved towards her, Su Qiuge hurriedly lowered her head and took a bite of her own ice cream.

The sweet strawberry flavor filled with coldness melted in her mouth, dissipating the heat in her body.

She originally should have felt very satisfied, but instead, she wondered: What does Xie Xinglin’s ice cream, which cost twice the amount of her, taste like?

While she thought this way, Xie Xinglin had unexpectedly collected all of her reactions into his eyes. He twirled the ice cream in front of her nose in an enticing manner and slowly asked, “Do you want to try?”

The piece of chocolate inserted on the ice cream circled around in front of Su Qiuge’s eyes, as if trying to lure her into committing a crime. She lightly swallowed, pretending to be reserved, “That’s...that's not very good.”

Xie Xinglin lowered his eyes to look at her, raised his eyebrows, and lightly said, “I don’t really like chocolate.”

Su Qiuge hesitated for a moment after she heard what he said. Then, she combed a piece of her hair behind her ears, “Ah, if it’s like this……”

She glanced towards him, putting on a reluctant facade, then like a small critter in a forest who peeks curiously out of a cave, after realizing that there is no mortal danger , nibbled the tip of the chocolate pocky away. And he was like the patient hunter within the forest, tenderly observing as she walks slowly into his trap.

Although she was very careful and quick, trying her best not to touch anywhere else, Xie Xinglin could clearly see that delicate pink tongue stole a small bit of ice cream underneath the chocolate pocky.

After the chocolate biscuit was gone, the ice cream in Xie Xinglin’s hand seemed a little lonely, as if missing something.

Su Qiuge looked over at his ice cream, still munching on the chocolate pocky. She saw Xie Xinglin stare at her for a while, then tilted his head down, and took a big bite at where she had just licked right in front of her.

There’s no telling if it’s because the look in his eyes was too direct, or was it because he performed this innocent act of eating ice cream too sensually. His tongue glides over those rouged lips, his provocative Adam’s Apple slightly bobbed up and down as he swallowed. This entire scene caused Su Qiuge’s face to flush red like a tomato.

This is so unfair, she thought, how can this guy look so good even if he’s just eating ice cream?

The goddamned beauty of this son of a bitch.

Of course the main female lead fell in love with him at first sight. It’s all for good reasons.

Reminded of the main female lead Lin Luoyu, Su Qiuge blanked out for a moment, thinking rapidly about the information related to her.

Just when she was thinking, Xie Xinglin lifted his glance, staring at her with his long, narrow eyes. He spoke calmly, “Shouldn’t you offer me a bite as well, out of courtesy?”

Su Qiuge: ?

She stared blankly at the pink strawberry-flavored ice cream in her hand. The top part of it has already been bitten off by her, ruining its delicate appearance.

Wait, wasn’t he the one to offer her his pocky voluntarily?

Trading bites was never part of the deal?

What does he mean “out of courtesy”??

Su Qiuge locked her eyes on him, crinkling her brows slightly. After thinking about how he had looked at her when he was biting the ice cream earlier, a horrid thought popped into her mind ——

Is- is he seducing her?

Does he… think of her that way??

As these thoughts rushed down like an avalanche, Su Qiuge felt her heart tug and a shiver running up her spine before she posited the impossibility of this thought.

What a joke. Why would Xie Xinglin have any interest in her?

Even if she overlooks the fact that she dies in the novel, this whore pranks her, ridicules her, and degrades her with a new method everyday.

She must be overthinking.
