Chapter 2078 - 2073: Helping Neither Side

Chapter 2078: Chapter 2073: Helping Neither Side

"Is it necessary? Just measuring specific data, and you want me to avoid the room. Do you have some kind of idea?"

Song Yaling saw Su Jing preparing to take Xiaobei to the room to measure sizes, and there was a trace of mischief in her eyes.

She wasn’t really jealous or anything; she just wanted to tease a bit.

She knew that Su Jing had come out of her shell now, so she could joke around unlike before.

"Little bastard, it looks like one day I really will have to rip your mouth open."

Su Jing rolled her eyes at Song Yaling with a huff and spoke.

Sensing Su Jing’s annoyed embarrassment, she laughed proudly, "Well, I’ll wait for it, but Xiaobei will protect me, so if you want to rip my mouth, you’ll have to get past Hu Xiaobei first, understand?"

Hearing that she brought Hu Xiaobei into it, Su Jing looked at Hu Xiaobei, pouted, and said, "Xiaobei will protect you? Xiaobei, if I insist on teaching this bastard Song Yaling a lesson, what will you do?"

Seeing Su Jing look at Hu Xiaobei, Song Yaling also put on a pitiful face, "Yes, Xiaobei, who are you going to help?"

"I won’t help anyone, alright?"

Hu Xiaobei knew that no matter who he said he’d help, things wouldn’t go smoothly, so the best solution was to help no one.

A bit dissatisfied, Song Yaling looked at Hu Xiaobei, pouted, and said angrily, "Not helping anyone? Xiaobei, how long have you known Sister Su, and you’ve already forgotten about me? That’s way too fast!"

"I’m not forgetting you at all."

Hu Xiaobei mumbled, bewildered.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s explanation, Song Yaling angrily questioned again, "If you haven’t forgotten me, why aren’t you helping me? You’re my boyfriend. In a situation like this, if you don’t stand by me, what kind of boyfriend are you?"

"I..."

Hu Xiaobei was about to speak when Su Jing stood in front of him, "Don’t say anything pointless, Xiaobei not helping anyone is fine with me."

"Wow, you two are wearing the same pants now. You really make a great pair!"

"That’s right, we do make a great pair! Are you jealous?"

With a giggle, Su Jing snuggled into Hu Xiaobei’s arm, and Hu Xiaobei clearly felt the touch, which made him a bit stiff.

"Oh, I can’t watch this, I can’t watch this. You guys should go to the room over there!"

Song Yaling said this while deliberately covering her eyes.

After she spoke, she quickly turned around.

Su Jing smiled gently and looked at Hu Xiaobei, saying affectionately, "Xiaobei, come with me over there and let me measure you properly so I can make you a nice set of clothes."

"Uh... maybe we should let it be, I feel like I have plenty of clothes."

Hu Xiaobei hesitated a bit, giving a dry laugh...

Hu Xiaobei really did have a lot of clothes, so honestly, Hu Xiaobei wasn’t keen on having clothes custom-made.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s hesitant remark, Song Yaling gave him a big eye-roll, saying with a bit of exasperation, "You little dummy, if Sister Su measures you and makes something, it’ll be fantastic. Once you have a custom-made piece, you’ll love it, and won’t want to stop."

Su Jing, hearing Song Yaling’s praise, felt a bit embarrassed...

Hesitant for a moment, Su Jing chuckled awkwardly, "That’s a bit exaggerated."

"No, Sister Su, your craftsmanship is truly the best in the world."

"That is true!"

After saying this, Su Jing didn’t ask for Hu Xiaobei’s opinion any further, she just turned and pulled him into the room.

...

Song Yaling watched them go inside, with a hint of a smile playing on her lips.

To be honest, she was really happy to see such a scenario.

Because Su Jing was no longer trapped in the past.

And Hu Xiaobei really was someone who could be entrusted with one’s life.

"I hope there’s a chance for sparks to fly between them."

Mumbling to herself, she lazily sat down.

Soon, she casually picked up a magazine and started reading it naturally.

Honestly, she didn’t really know what the magazine was about because her mind was mostly in the room.

She really wanted to know what exactly was happening inside.

Yes indeed!

She was feeling particularly nosy at that moment...

...

"Xiaobei, am I a tiger? Why do you seem so nervous? When you were dealing with that trash before, you were so dashing. Why are you so nervous facing me now? Am I really that scary?"

In the room, seeing Hu Xiaobei looking a bit anxious, Su Jing teased lightly.

The outgoing Su Jing had returned to her true self, willing to joke around.

"Uh, I’m not nervous, okay!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s defense, Su Jing rolled her eyes at him, "Not nervous? Do you think I’m an idiot?"

Clearing his throat, Hu Xiaobei admitted honestly, "Uh... okay, it’s just my first time getting measured for clothes, so it’s normal to be a bit nervous."

"Where there’s a first time, there’s a second; there’s really no need to be nervous. Just relax for now while I prepare the measuring tape and such."

Saying this, she turned and walked to the side.

Hu Xiaobei looked at her and a small smile touched his lips.

Actually, Hu Xiaobei wasn’t nervous.

He acted a bit nervous because he didn’t want her to feel nervous.

Hu Xiaobei could see she was actually quite tense inside.

He knew if he acted too relaxed, she might become even more nervous.

So Hu Xiaobei purposely put on an act.

This way, her thoughts would stay with him and she wouldn’t be so tense.

...

Hu Xiaobei wasn’t wrong; though she started out talking freely, deep down she was really nervous.

To be honest, it was her first time measuring a man for clothing.

Before, she always worked with women, so she knew what to do.

Now, it felt different because it wasn’t like before.

"Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, just treat Xiaobei as a girl."

Comforting herself with these words, she picked up the tape measure and began measuring Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei stood quietly there.

Soon, he saw Su Jing returning again.

"Ready?"

Hearing this softly asked question, Hu Xiaobei nodded lightly.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei nod, she began preparing to measure.

At first, Su Jing was calm, but when she really got close to Hu Xiaobei, she couldn’t stay calm.

A wave of masculinity came over her, leaving her bewildered to the point of not knowing what to do.
