CHAPTER 1487: CHAPTER 637: DREAMLIKE SEA OF FLOWERS, WINNER IN LIFE! _3

"How does my COS look?"

Ji Xinyan shook the reindeer antlers on her head.

"..."

Lin Baici remained silent.

"The guys in the class all say your girlfriend’s legs are longer than their lives. What about mine?"

Ji Xinyan’s camera pointed downwards, capturing her long legs.

"Xin Yan, I have a girlfriend now."

Lin Baici averted his gaze. Ji Xinyan’s legs were indeed beautiful.

"But she’s not with you now!"

Ji Xinyan held her phone and took a video around the surroundings.

It appeared to be a high-end hotel, decorated with balloons and ribbons. There were plush toys on the bed, a bottle of wine, and chocolates on the table, creating a festive Christmas atmosphere.

"I decorated it, does it look pretty?"

Ji Xinyan boasted.

"Pretty!"

Lin Baici nodded.

"Would you like to come over and spend a night?"

Ji Xinyan smiled.

"..."

Lin Baici was silent again.

Ji Xinyan ended the video call and sent over the hotel’s location.

Following that was an audio message: I’ll be waiting for you tonight!

Ji Xinyan had initially wanted to say, I’ve never played poker, I’m as pure as can be, but after thinking about it, she decided that saying it so deliberately wasn’t right, so she let it go.

Lin Baici took a deep breath and looked up.

Snowflakes fell on his face, feeling a bit cold.

Although Ji Xinyan acted like a femme fatale, she was actually very self-respecting; she hadn’t dated anyone during the three years of college. On the other hand, Bai Jiao, who was considered old-fashioned, had changed boyfriends three times.

Whoosh!

Lin Baici exhaled a puff of white air. In fact, Ji Xinyan had started chasing him six months earlier than everyone knew, but by then, he was already with Zhu Qiunan.

Even though Zhu Qiunan wasn’t talkative and had no interest other than studying, she was very good to him.

Lin Baici looked toward the school gate.

For the first time in his life, he felt a bit shaken.

His phone rang.

It was Zhu Qiunan.

"Have you eaten?"

Zhu Qiunan’s voice was indifferent, but after being together for a long time, Lin Baici could understand her unique way of expressing concern.

"I have, what about you?"

Lin Baici walked aimlessly.

"Not yet, but I’m not hungry!"

Zhu Qiunan never liked to beat around the bush, so she said directly: "The west-side hotel near the school’s main entrance, do you know it?"

"I do!"

Lin Baici frowned. "What’s up?"

"I’ve booked a room, number 1314, waiting for you!"

Zhu Qiunan said before hanging up.

"..."

Lin Baici’s heart was racing rapidly.

Zhu Qiunan’s intention was obvious, she planned to give herself to him today, on this Christmas day, right?

They had been together for two years, and at most they had hugged and kissed, but nothing more intimate.

Whoosh!

Lin Baici took a deep breath. Should I head back to take a shower first?

Wait!

There should be a bathroom in the hotel, right?

Excitedly, Lin Baici quickened his pace, then paused.

He glanced at his phone.

What about Ji Xinyan?

Soon, Lin Baici made his decision and began to run amidst the growing snowflakes.

Youth,

Here I come!

...

In the blink of an eye, it was senior year, and some people had already left campus early, returning only to take graduation photos, or not coming back at all.

In the cafeteria, Zhu Qiunan fed a spoonful of rice to Lin Baici, who looked distressed.

"Others are stressed about not finding a job, but you have such good options and are still worried?"

Zhu Qiunan teased.

"State-owned enterprises offer stability without fear of being fired, but the annual salary is low. Working at Huawei pays well, but the workload will definitely be huge!"

Lin Baici was torn.

"Not considering Alibaba or TikTok?"

Zhu Qiunan had already decided to continue her studies straight through to a doctorate.

...

As graduation approached, everyone was busy and going their separate ways, feelings were complex, and for Lin Baici, the most memorable event was during the farewell dinner. At the end, before Ji Xinyan got into a taxi, she suddenly hugged him tightly and kissed him fiercely.

"I once wanted to prove that not choosing me was a mistake, but now, I just want you to be happy!"

Ji Xinyan wiped away her tears. "Goodbye, my Senior Monitor!"

Lin Baici watched the taxi drive off into the distance and stood there for a long time.

On the day he left school, Lin Baici stood for fifteen minutes at the school gate, holding the sunflower pot.

...

Starting work, pushing hard with a 996 schedule.

Lin Baici’s career progressed smoothly.

The sunflower potted plant he tended to thrived under his care.

The decision Lin Baici made during his senior year was completely correct.

Five years later, he married Zhu Qiunan, whom he had dated for over eight years, and they bought a ten-million-yuan house together, which made many school alumni envious.

A year later, Zhu Qiunan gave birth to a baby boy for Lin Baici.

Lin Baici gave him a nickname, Little Sunflower.

...

At thirty-five, Lin Baici was promoted to a leadership position in the group, so busy every day he barely touched ground.

Zhu Qiunan’s research work was also thriving, with over twenty patents applied for.

Mother Lin had already moved from Guangqing City to Haijing to help take care of the child.

At dinner time.

"Mom, if you’re feeling tired, why not hire a babysitter?"

Zhu Qiunan returned from work and took over the chores voluntarily.

"I’m not tired!"

Mother Lin was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, who was beautiful, good-hearted, and kind. Most importantly, she was beyond excellent to her son.

During dinner, Mother Lin couldn’t help but speak: "Little Ci, Nannan, aren’t you planning on having another one?"

Lin Baici and Zhu Qiunan exchanged glances.

"As you get older, it won’t be appropriate even if you want to!"

Mother Lin urged.

"I think one child is good enough!"
