When Lin Ruoxi heard the knock, her heart suddenly began to pound.
After a moment's hesitation, she rushed to open the door.
Seeing Xue Rui's smiling face, her nose tingled. She blinked away the moisture in her eyes and broke into a stunning smile. "Let's eat."
'Xue Rui really came.'
Somehow, the moment Xue Rui walked in, she felt the room grow several degrees warmer;
even the picture on the TV seemed much more vibrant than before.
"My family kicked me out, so I have nowhere to go this year," Xue Rui said, shaking his head with a sigh.
Lin Ruoxi replied without the slightest hesitation, "You can sleep in my room."
"That's what I was thinking," Xue Rui replied with a perfectly straight face.
He set the gift box he'd brought aside. "Grandma, a little something for the New Year."
In reality, it was just a large gift box filled with snacks and eight-treasure congee.
He and Lin Ruoxi would end up eating it all anyway; Xue Rui had bought it purely for the sake of propriety.
