Chapter 28: I Like You [Please recommend and collect] Chen Hua patted Luo Xiaotong's shoulder: "Xiaotong, I believe in you. As a university student with good eloquence, only you can persuade Xiao Ye, who is a reasonable person."

  "Heh heh, no matter how big your official position is, it's useless. I'll play with you for a while and then return you."

  Chen Hua never thought that a scholar who was originally refined and courteous would suddenly harbor so many evil thoughts in his heart. Even if he had thought that people could change, he wouldn't have expected Luo Xiaotong to dare hide the woman he liked in the boiler room. Reality is like this, many unexpected things happen because of the carelessness of those involved.

  It's almost time to get off work, and the building is empty. Luo Xiaotong locked the big door early, humming a little tune as he sprinted towards the boiler room.

  As soon as the door opened, Xiaoye was sleeping soundly. She slept without any defense, lying on her back with her legs apart, making men have improper thoughts.

  Lu Xiaotong was stunned, tiptoed in, closed the door behind him, sat on the bed, and admired Xiao Ye's sleeping posture. It was really beautiful.

  To be honest, in his heart, Luo Xiaotong really liked Xiao Ye, but he didn't think of loving her. Liking someone is one thing, and loving someone is another. He didn't think of loving her, if he did, there wouldn't be that kind of *carnal desire in his heart.

  Lu Xiaotong felt the thing in his crotch standing up, and his mind was filled with scenes of him and Lang Siyu. However, lying in front of him was another person, younger than Lang Siyu and even more innocent. He wondered what it would be like to be with a woman like this?

  He wanted to rush up immediately, but still didn't dare. If things go wrong, he would end up with a bad reputation and his whole life would be ruined. Of course, if it was mutual, even if Xiaoye had some mental health issues, he wouldn't suffer much loss either. In the name of love, he believed nothing would go wrong. Right, it must be reasonable and justified.

  At this thought, Luo Xiaotong coughed softly. Although the voice was very low, Xiao Ye still woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Luo Xiaotong sitting beside her and quickly got up. The first thing she did was to check her clothes to see if anything had changed. After confirming that nothing was wrong, she smiled: "Brother, when did you come in?"

  "Just arrived, just arrived," Luo Xiaotong also smiled and said: "You sleep so soundly."

  "I've had a bit too much to drink," Xiaoye smoothed out her hair: "What time is it?"

  "Not even five o'clock," Luo Xiaotong said, clearly distracted: "It's still early." His eyes were fixed on Xiao Ye's chest: "Sister looks really good when she sleeps."

  Xiao Ye smiled slightly: "Brother is really good at talking. It's said that people look better when they're standing up than when they're lying down, and it's even more so when they're sleeping."

  "Nonsense, I've never heard of that," Luo Xiaotong decided to flatter him to the end: "Even if what you said makes sense, it's absolutely an exception when it comes to you."

  There isn't anyone in the world who doesn't love to hear praise, so Xiaoye was naturally delighted. However, at her age, she also understood what it meant when a man went out of his way to flatter a woman. She smiled slyly and said, "Xiaotong Ge, your mouth is always spouting sweet nothings, you must have ulterior motives for speaking so nicely."

  Lu Xiaotong felt like he had been pierced through, as if there was a hole in his body that let in the cold wind. He didn't feel good about it. But thinking about it, since things had come to this point, he might as well make his attitude clear: "Xiaoye, what you said isn't wrong. It's just that my words were inappropriate, I'm not someone with ill intentions." He reached out and grabbed Xiaoye's hand that was placed on her chest: "I like you."

  Xiao Ye reacted extremely quickly, his hand shrunk back, and Luo Xiaotong grabbed at nothing.

  "I know, brother, I also like you," Xiao Ye smiled, her expression unchanged: "But why did you grab my hand?" Her sharp eyes stared at Luo Xiaotong.

  Originally didn't catch on, Luo Xiaotong felt embarrassed in her heart, but after hearing Xiao Ye's words, she thought there was a chance and didn't avoid it: "Since you also like me, then holding hands with me is very normal, right?"

  At this, Luo Xiaotong opened his arms to hug her. Xiao Ye's face sank: "Brother, don't do that, what's with the liking, can you just hug because of it? The liking I'm talking about is a feeling, not what you think it means, I'm not that kind of frivolous woman, and I believe brother isn't that kind of man either." As soon as she said this, Luo Xiaotong suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't face her.

  "Sorry," said Luo Xiaotong, standing up: "I lost my mind for a moment, don't be angry." He let Xiao Ye rest in the house and returned to the guard room. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye didn't have any mental problems, he was just overthinking, his beautiful dream shattered, feeling disheartened and helpless, he went out. Originally, he still wanted to cook some dinner, but suddenly got annoyed and gave up.

  Back in the guard room, *qi was exhausted and fell asleep. It smelled nice, my forehead felt hot, I opened my eyes to see a hand on it, it was Xiaoye.

  "Get up," said Xiaoye, with a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened during the day. Lu Xiaotong also pretended to forget everything and scrambled up, looking at the time, 11:30.

  "We should go," said Xiaoye. It seems that Xiaoye is indeed a normal person.

  "Really going?" asked Luo Xiaotong.

  "Unless you're afraid to meet my sister," said Little Leaf, the genius.

  "Hehe, I'm full of a spirit of exploration for nature." Get up and go.

  Outside was pitch black, Luo Xiaotong held a flashlight, and the darkness made people even more fearful. Xiao Ye was after all a girl, timid by nature, and she leaned on Luo Xiaotong's body the whole time.

  "Where are we going?" asked Luo Xiaotong, it can't be that they're still unclear about their destination until now. He didn't look at Xiao Ye's eyes, but he could confirm that she wasn't looking at his face either, in the middle of the night, it was too dark to see anyway.

  "My sister's grave." As soon as the words came out, Luo Xiaotong's head spun around, as if a bomb had exploded, and he involuntarily stopped in his tracks. The beam of light from the flashlight retracted, covering Xiao Ye's face.

  "What did you say?" The voice trembled, and the hands were shaking. Xiao Ye repeated it again, and Luo Xiaotong was certain that she had not misheard, and was shocked beyond measure.

  "Are you scared?" asked Xiaoye.

  "It's not scary, that's Sunzi," Luo Xiaotong said in his heart. But as a man, if he says he's scared, he'll naturally lose face. He straightened his back and took a deep breath: "What's the big deal? It's just a tomb, I'll tell you, when I was young, I used to be a frequent visitor to the tomb." After speaking, he asked in return: "How about you?"

  Xiao Ye's voice trembled as she answered truthfully, "I'm afraid." Luo Xiaotong had gained the upper hand and wanted Xiao Ye to give up voluntarily so that he wouldn't lose face either: "Look at you, if you're already scared, why are you still going? Isn't it just a waste of effort?"

  "After being separated from my sister by the boundaries of life and death, this is the first time I've dreamed of her," said Xiao Ye in a melancholic tone. "And it's also the first time she asked for my help, so I must fulfill her wish." After speaking, he suddenly stood up straight and led the way forward.

  Although Luo Xiaotong was a local, he had been reading books since childhood and wasn't very familiar with the local situation. After walking for a while, he got lost and didn't know where he was going. But relying on the flashlight beam, he saw that the surroundings were all dense forests, already leaving the main road, his heart racing with fear, looking at Xiaoye's back, like a ghostly figure, even more frightened, suddenly stopping: "Little Ye sister, I'm not going."

  Xiao Ye smiled and turned around: "We're here." She pointed with her hand, and in the direction she was pointing, a grave mound came into view, freshly filled with new earth. The surrounding cypress and pine trees swayed gently in the breeze, their leaves rustling softly against each other, creating an ethereal melody. Luo Xiaotong trembled with fear, but pretended to be calm: "Sister, why is there only one grave?"

  Xiao Ye didn't look at her, his eyes fixed on the front: "Then how many do you think there are?" His tone seemed to carry a hint of displeasure.

  Lu Xiaotong's expression was tense: "I didn't mean anything else, don't misunderstand. I just thought, around your sister Zhou, why aren't the ancestors' shadows visible?" This explanation was very reasonable, and Xiao Ye felt slightly relieved after hearing it. She smiled lightly: "Xiaotong brother, you really are a bookworm."

  It's okay to read a lot of books, but being called a bookworm is something Luo Xiaotong doesn't want to hear. It's clearly mocking, but it can't be expressed as dissatisfaction. Instead, she asks back: "What do you mean by saying that, Little Ye sister?" As soon as the words fell, a whirlwind rose around the tomb. Little Ye didn't respond and said: "My sister died at just over 20 years old, and her death was untimely, not a normal death. In this situation, it's not allowed to enter the ancestral tomb, don't you know this rule?"

  As it happens, Luo Xiaotong really didn't know about this kind of thing. Folk customs are rarely taught in books. Luo Xiaotong suddenly realized and also learned a bit of knowledge.
