The little female dragon chased him all the way to the other side of the ocean, seemingly having selectively forgotten Lin Chen's visit.
These things are not easy to talk about openly, so it's better to pretend that nothing happened.
"Okay!" Lin Chen replied, "Send me your flight information, and I'll come pick you up!"
Xia Mi replied to her message almost instantly; it was information about a plane ticket.
Lin Chen stood up: "Nono, Susie, Ling, you guys go back to the academy first, I still have some things to do in Chicago!"
Ling nodded obediently, always trusting Lin Chen's arrangements without a doubt.
Susie looked at Lin Chen: "President, is there a mission to be done? Do you need our help?"
Nono stretched and said, "If it's really a mission, then we're even less needed. Lin Chen handled everything by himself. I bet he stayed behind to admire the flowers."
Susie was taken aback: "Flower viewing? What flowers are there this season?"
"Peach blossoms!" Nono blinked.
Susie immediately understood and smiled gently.
Lin Chen tapped Nuonuo's head: "What's going on in your head?! I stayed because it's related to dragons."
Nono shook her head and dodged it.
Susie, however, became serious: "Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"
Lin Chen waved his hand: "It's a small matter, I can handle it!"
The group then nodded.
Su Enxi arranged for a company car to take Nono, Susie, and Zero to Kassel College.
Lin Chen was left inside the villa. There was no one else in the villa except for Shude Mai.
At this moment, Mai Shude was sitting on the sofa, while Lin Chen was lying down, resting his head on her long legs, playing on his phone with a relaxed air.
Mai Shude meditated like a ninja, but clearly didn't get into the state. Finally, she opened her eyes and gently massaged Lin Chen's scalp with her fingers.
"Boss..." Mai Shude said softly, "You stayed behind because of something related to dragons. I mean, is there anything you need me to do?"
"Just be my girl." Lin Chen ran his fingers along Jiu De Mai's face. "You are my girl, and also one of my top generals, but it's not your turn to make your move yet!"
Mai nodded seriously: "Understood, be the boss's spear, be the boss's armor!"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's the same old thing from your Japan, but I don't need you to face such dangerous things. Remember, when the danger gets out of control, hide behind me."
"But……"
"No buts." Lin Chen covered Jiu De Mai's mouth with his finger. "If she died in front of me, it would make me lose face."
Lin Chen got up and straightened his clothes.
"Get some rest, I'm off!"
Mai Shude also hurriedly got up, knelt down by the door, helped Lin Chen put on his shoes, and then got up to hand Lin Chen his luggage.
Lin Chen pulled her close and kissed her: "Let's go."
As the sun rose, Lin Chen appeared at the airport's arrival gate.
According to Xia Mi's flight information, she should have just landed.
As expected, Lin Chen didn't have to wait long before a familiar figure appeared in the crowd.
Lin Chen held a bouquet of flowers in his hands, which contained sunflowers in the sunshine and blooming daffodils.
The daffodils were still dotted with glistening water droplets, and in their reflection, Xia Mi, dressed in a refreshing outfit, ran towards Lin Chen.
186: Romantic Chicago! Xia Mi's Test!
"Lin Chen!" Xia Mi bloomed before Lin Chen like a flower, "Did you miss me!"
Lin Chen gently tapped Xia Mi's head with his finger: "Call me senior, you're so disrespectful!"
Xia Mi shook her head and said, "School hasn't started yet today, so there are no upperclassmen or underclassmen here!"
Lin Chen noticed a pointed corner in Xia Mi's schoolbag: "What's that?"
Xia Mi also saw that spot: "Hmm... the acceptance letter!"
"That's settled then!" Lin Chen said, "Call me senior obediently!"
Xia Mi, however, fixed her gaze on the flowers in Lin Chen's hand: "Was this prepared for me?"
"I knew you'd like this!" Lin Chen handed her the flowers. "Are you satisfied with them?"
"I'm super satisfied, okay?" Xia Mi took the flowers, her face beaming with joy like a fawn. "But how did you know I like flowers?"
"Do I even need to know that? What girl doesn't like flowers!"
"Ugh!" Xia Mi stamped her foot. "Such a romantic thing, but it loses its charm after being explained like this!"
Lin Chen wrapped his arm around Xia Mi's slender waist: "Who says it's not romantic!"
Xia Mi exclaimed, "Lin Chen... what are you doing?"
"This is the romance you wanted," Lin Chen said, pinching Xia Mi's soft waist. "Isn't it much more romantic now!"
Xia Mi is innocent and carefree, while Lin Chen is sunny and handsome.
Lin Chen is now holding Xia Mi, who is holding flowers in her hands. It's quite a beautiful sight at the arrival gate.
Anyone who randomly picked up a passerby would think this scene was incredibly romantic!
Xia Mi sensed this as well, so she did not refuse.
She took a sniff of the bouquet and exclaimed, "It's a beautiful combination, and it tastes wonderful! So thoughtful!"
Lin Chen nodded: "Of course, I had the proprietress pick it out for me!"
"It's suddenly not romantic again!" Xia Mi pouted. "Just pretend you picked it yourself, don't you understand a white lie?"
"What if I told you that this flower was picked from the trash can just now, and I saw a guy who was rejected throw it in there!"
"What?!" Xia Mihua's face paled. "That must be so dirty!"
"Just kidding!" Lin Chen shrugged. "Do you think I'm that kind of person without taste? I picked out and bought the flowers myself; I just had the shopkeeper wrap them up for me!"
Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief and playfully slapped Lin Chen: "You knew you were lying to me! So it was still romantic after all!"
"I knew you'd like this. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
Xia Mi was taken aback: "Still playing?"
"You finally made it to Chicago, and you're only here to study? Shouldn't you have some fun first?"
"But school starts tomorrow!"
"You, who dared to skip school during the preparatory class for the college entrance exam, are worried about this?"
"Hmm..." Xia Mi was exposed by Lin Chen, "Okay, actually I'm broke! My final exam scores were very high, and the admission notice said I received a scholarship. As long as I register at the school, 10,000 dollars will be deposited into my account. So I've been shopping like crazy for the past few days and have spent almost all my money. I only have enough left for the plane ticket to come here!"
Lin Chen sighed, "Are you always this meticulous and calculating?"
“That’s right!” Xia Mi said, “I’ve already calculated it. Ten thousand dollars is more than enough for my expenses at school for a year! I can also do some part-time jobs, so I can even make some money!”
"You win!" Lin Chen said. "But think back to when we were together, when did I ever ask you to spend any money?"
“That was before!” Xia Mi said. “Now I’m a university student, so I think I can’t just…”
"What can't we do?"
Xia Mi immediately grabbed Lin Chen's arm: "We can't go hungry! You're a rich guy, please take care of me!"
Lin Chen sighed helplessly, "She's definitely my little Xia Mi! Tell me, is there anywhere you want to play?"
"Not at the moment," Xia Mi said honestly. "Actually, what I want to do most right now is to report to Kassel College!"
“That’s true.” Lin Chen understood the feelings of the prospective college student.
"Let's go out and play later!!" Xia Mi said, "Once I get into school and receive a scholarship, I'll definitely treat you to a meal."
"Then I'll wait!"
Xia Mi pulled out a guidebook from behind her back: "According to the admission brochure of Kassel College, we should go to the train station and take the CC1000 train to get to Kassel College!"
Lin Chen pinched Xia Mi's cheek: "Your senior is right here, do you still need to look at a guide?"
Xia Mi was about to exclaim, but then suddenly looked up and said, "Oh right, isn't there a living map?"
"Well, I'm definitely a tool for this purpose; I've practically become a living map!"
"Aren't all senior students like this? I read a lot of college freshman guides before, and they all warned me to beware of upperclassmen! Don't they all use the excuse of moving luggage and finding a seat to flirt with freshmen girls?"
"Do I need such a low-level approach? There are tons of female students who want me to show them the way or carry their luggage. I don't just strike up a conversation with anyone!"
Xia Mi smiled slyly: "Then why are you so enthusiastic towards me!"
“You’re different from everyone else!” Lin Chen said.
"What's different?" Xia Mi asked with a smile, but beneath that smile lay a depth as profound as the sea.
Lin Chen stroked Xia Mi's face, causing her deep, calm expression to ripple like waves.
"You're beautiful!" Lin Chen said. "Beautiful women should be treated well wherever they go!"
