Chapter 186 Going Home
"No, no, you're such a pig teammate!"
Lin Jie said anxiously, immediately editing a message on his phone, planning to explain to Qin Xiaoxu that the previous message wasn't sent by him.
But at this moment, seeing Lin Jie's actions, Lin Hao became excited, stood up to grab his phone and said, "What are you doing, dude? You finally sent her a message, and you definitely have to see how she responds. If you explain to her now, won't you have spoiled everything?"
Lin Hao was anxiously trying to snatch Lin Jie's phone, while Lin Jie argued urgently, "You just don't understand her personality; it's not something you can guess. If she ends up ignoring me because of this, it will be all your fault!"
Lin Jie was anxious and quite distressed. He was genuinely worried that he wouldn't even be able to be friends with Qin Xiaoxu in the future.
So at that moment, he typed urgently, deleting and rewriting again and again.
Right then, a new message popped up. Seeing Qin Xiaoxu's reply, he froze, lifted his phone, and exclaimed, "She... she told me... agreed!"
Lin Jie panicked at that point, and hearing his words, Lin Hao showed an astonished expression, leaning in close to Lin Jie to see Qin Xiaoxu's reply, then hugged Lin Jie's shoulder, saying, "No way, I was just trying it out, but it seems she indeed has a thing for you, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed so easily!"
After sending her message, Qin Xiaoxu chuckled, holding her phone as she waited for Lin Jie's reply.
Meanwhile, Lin Jie was still dumbfounded and didn't know how to reply to Qin Xiaoxu, saying, "So am I really her boyfriend now?"
"Of course, you are. Since she has acknowledged it, she's your girlfriend now."
Feeling a bit panicked after hearing this, Lin Jie looked at his phone and said, "Then what should I say to her? I have no idea how to respond."
He was completely flustered at the moment. Pretending to be Qin Xiaoxu's boyfriend had been one thing, but now that he was actually her boyfriend, he didn't know what to say.
"Just talk to her like you usually do; after all, she understands you, and you are boyfriend and girlfriend now. Speak with a doting tone, and try not to be too much of a typical guy, or she'll be unhappy!"
After considering for a long time, Lin Jie finally sent a message.
"Since you agreed, let's go on a date tomorrow."
Qin Xiaoxu leaped up excitedly upon hearing this. Her hands grasping the phone were sweating, suddenly feeling that every word Lin Jie said made her so happy.
Previously, since Lin Jie hadn't confirmed their relationship, she hadn't dared to show the slight feelings she had for him. But now that they were officially dating, naturally, they could exhibit the affection typical of boyfriends and girlfriends.
At this time, sitting in the passenger seat, Han Xuewei received Qin Xiaoxu's message, looked down, realized Qin Xiaoxu had succeeded, and couldn't help but feel joyful as she said,

"Lin Yi, it really happened! It seems like they've confirmed their relationship."
Lin Yi, who was driving, curved his lips and said, "Lin Jie is a good man; your friend won't be at a loss with him!"
Hearing this, Han Xue only smiled slightly.
"Of course, I hope she can meet a good man. Lin Jie does seem quite decent, and considering her family background, we all hope they get along well..."
As they spoke, their car entered the highway, and they were soon able to reach home.
By the time the two of them got home, it was almost midnight. As soon as she stepped out of the front door, Han Xuewei heard the cry of a baby and became a bit tense. She immediately dropped her bag and ran upstairs.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi had just parked the car. Seeing Han Xuewei's bag at the door, he picked it up for her and they both headed to the second floor.
When Lin Yi reached the second floor, Han Xuewei was already holding the baby and trying to soothe him—the one crying was Er Bao.
Er Bao was crying in a whimpering tone. Han Xuewei held him and began to sway gently, while at that time Lin Yi's mother came out but did not disturb her.
She went directly to Lin Yi and asked, "Where did you go today? Why are you coming back so late? Er Bao was just giving me a hard time!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi replied indifferently, "We went to a class reunion tonight and came back a bit late."
Lin Yi's mother didn't say anything more at that moment. Han Xuewei was seriously trying to console Er Bao, who had become much quieter and calmer by now.
After all, when Er Bao cried, the other two babies also woke up, watching Han Xuewei with their round eyes.
Feeling a bit helpless, Han Xuewei sat down and started to entertain the babies. Lin Yi walked into the babies' bedroom. Seeing Lin Yi, Han Xuewei couldn't help but say, "I can take care of the babies here. You must be tired today. Go take a shower first, then come and lull them to sleep after..."
Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this and went into the bathroom. Lin Yi was quick with his shower; he emerged from the bathroom in just over ten minutes.
Coming out of the room, Lin Yi asked, "Have the babies fallen asleep?"
Hearing this, Han Xuewei nodded, "They're all asleep, and I had the caretaker go in to look after them."
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Wife, go take a shower, I've already got the water ready for you."
"Okay. Thank you, honey!"
After saying that, Han Xuewei tiptoed up and pecked Lin Yi on the corner of his lips.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "You're so tired today, how about I help you with your bath?"
At his words, Han Xuewei pushed him away with shy protest, "I don't need that."
Having said that, she hurried into the bathroom. Lin Yi watched her rush in, a faint smile on his face.
After Han Xuewei finished her bath, she came to the bed, where Lin Yi was holding the hairdryer, blowing her hair with skilled and gentle motions, quickly drying it.
Seeing how skillfully Lin Yi was blowing her hair, Han Xuewei joked, "You're so adept at blow-drying a girl's hair, surely you haven't done it often for other girls!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled mischievously, pulling her hair over and said, "How could that be? This is the first time I've blow-dried a girl's hair. I practiced so much just for you!"
As Lin Yi said this, he gently kissed Han Xuewei's lips, and they both broke into laughter.
