And so, through Xia Mingwei's efforts, her relationship with Li Ming became much closer.

Every night, she would arrive at the entrance of his company on time, waiting for him to come for a late-night snack. Perhaps, it shouldn't be called a late-night snack, but rather dinner.

The dinners that should have been paid for separately by the two of them, Xia Mingwei always managed to find an excuse to pay together. And the reasons she gave were varied and never repeated.

"You found my bracelet today, so I'll pay for it!"

"I've got it! You paid my bus fare yesterday, I'll pay you back then!"

"My dad gave me some pocket money today, let me do it!"

"Today is my 4000th day since I was born, so let's celebrate. Consider it a bargain for you, I'll do it!"

After this happened so many times, Li Ming felt somewhat numb. But at the same time, he was also secretly hoping and anticipating what excuse Xia Mingwei would use to treat him to a meal today.

Thinking of how she racked her brains to come up with a reason, Li Ming couldn't help but laugh.

But don't be fooled by their seemingly dramatic inner monologues; when they actually get together, they're completely silent!

During the meal, the two seemed to understand each other perfectly, remaining silent at the table.

One day, Li Ming could no longer hold back and looked at Xia Mingwei, asking, "Why did you do this?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingwei did not immediately give her answer, but instead looked at him with a smile.

After a while, she rested her face on her hand and said with a smile, "You can tell just by looking at how beautiful I am! I'll let you in on a secret: I'm actually a fairy. I saw you suffering in heaven, and I couldn't bear it, so I came down to earth to help you!"

Li Ming was taken aback by Xia Mingwei's absurd words and didn't know how to respond to her narcissistic remarks.

However, Xia Mingwei's words drew his attention. He looked at her face and examined it carefully.

Full of youthful vigor, she radiated vitality and energy, like a blooming flower. The light shining in her eyes was like a burning river. Her beauty and youth were like a dazzling gem, radiating extraordinary brilliance and life force. Her eyes were bright and clear, radiant and captivating, as if one could see her dreams and hopes reflected in them.

The soft streetlights shone on her face, making the fine hairs on her skin clearly visible. Li Ming was momentarily stunned; Xia Mingwei was indeed very beautiful.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat!" Xia Ming looked at Li Ming with a puzzled expression and asked.

Only then did Li Ming regain his senses, and he quickly started eating the noodles.

He buried his face in the bowl of noodles, and for a moment, no one knew what he was thinking.

After dinner tonight, Li Ming, contrary to his usual behavior, insisted on paying for the meal himself.

"It's on me today! You don't need to come! It's always you who comes, it's kind of embarrassing!" After saying this, he quickly took the ticket out of his pocket and placed it on the checkout counter.

Seeing this, Xia Mingwei knew what he was thinking. He must have felt guilty for eating so many meals for free.

However, after he pays the bill today, he'll probably have to walk home again.

Xia Mingwei didn't expose him at this moment, but instead adopted a generous and indifferent attitude, "Alright! You can do it today!"

After paying the bill, the two said their goodbyes. Li Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Xia Mingwei walk away.

He patted his empty pockets, sighed, and thought, "Looks like I'll have to walk home tonight!"

He looked up at the moon and comforted himself, "Fortunately, the moonlight is nice. With the moon as my companion, I'm not too lonely!"

And so, he embarked on his journey home.

He hadn't walked far when a car approached. This car was strange. It moved extremely slowly, maintaining the same speed as him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a snail's pace.

Just as he was wondering, the back window of the car slowly rolled down.

Upon closer inspection, Li Ming realized that the person sitting inside was actually Xia Mingwei.

She was wearing sunglasses and resting her hand on the car window. Li Ming looked at her, speechless with surprise. She whistled at Li Ming and asked, "Handsome young man, may I have the honor of giving you a ride home?"

Li Ming was amused by Xia Mingwei's half-baked words.

"my pleasure!"

After getting into the car, before Li Ming could even speak, Xia Mingwei instructed the driver, "Please take him to Nanshan first and send him home!"

Li Ming looked at Xia Mingwei, and the feeling of doubt in his heart resurfaced.

"I've never told anyone where I live. How did you know?"

Upon hearing Li Ming's question, Xia Mingwei's heart skipped a beat, realizing, "I spoke too hastily and accidentally blurted out what was on my mind!"

A slightly unnatural expression flashed across Xia Mingwei's face, but she quickly regained her composure. At the same time, she was mentally calculating how to answer Li Ming's question.

A thousand answers flashed through Xia Mingwei's mind, but she rejected most of them.

Finally, under Li Ming's gaze, Xia Mingwei gave her answer, "I've already told you I'm a fairy, but you just wouldn't believe me!"

Li Ming looked at her face but still didn't say anything.

Xia Mingwei felt that rather than taking the blame upon herself, she should pass the buck to someone else.

She took a breath and said, "Okay, okay! I'll tell you, it was that time we had dinner together last time, you accidentally let it slip, and I overheard it, so I remembered it!"

Seeing that Xia Mingwei seemed to have a point, Li Ming finally gave up. However, Li Ming was then filled with deep doubt, "Could it be that I really let it slip? I'm usually very tight-lipped, this shouldn't be!"

Xia Mingwei patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to herself, "Finally got away with it. It wasn't easy!"

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally arrived at Li Ming's residence.

Perhaps it was a belated sense of shame, but he did not invite Xia Mingwei in for a seat.

Xia Mingwei could see his predicament, so she naturally didn't make any unreasonable demands.

"We're home. You can go inside now! As for where I stayed, I won't go in. There will be plenty of opportunities to visit later!"

Xia Mingwei sat in the car and waved to Li Ming. After saying these words, without the slightest hesitation, she instructed the driver to turn around and go home.

Li Ming turned around and walked towards home.

At that moment, he felt his eyes welling up uncontrollably. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve, looked up at the sky, and sighed to himself, "So it's tears!"
