Chapter 2574 — Making Up Her Mind

"I… this still doesn't seem right, does it?" Chen Xi glanced at her own chest, then at Ying Ziyu's. "Yours covers much more than mine. Maybe I should change into a blouse too?"
"Change into what?" Ying Ziyu said, half exasperated at her for not trying harder. "I'm telling you to show your girlish side to Wei Zhao—not me! What are you comparing yourself to me for?"
Chen Xi supposed she was right. Ying Ziyu had already set an example—if she still couldn't go through with it, wouldn't she be letting Ying Ziyu's good intentions go to waste? So she nodded, gritted her teeth, and said, "All right, then I'll call Wei Zhao-gege right now…"
But perhaps out of nervousness, as Chen Xi reached for the phone with one hand, her other hand clutched at the neckline of her camisole, keeping herself from being exposed.
Watching Chen Xi's cautious manner, Ying Ziyu felt a little helpless, but there was nothing to be done. Getting this far was enough to satisfy her for now—the rest could come slowly, later on.
Wei Zhao was talking with Foreman Zhu when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID—it was actually Chen Xi's number! After Ying Ziyu and Chen Xi entered high school, Wei Zhao had bought Chen Xi a phone too, though she rarely used it.
"Xiao Xi?" Wei Zhao answered.
"Wei Zhao-gege, it's me." Thinking of what she was about to do, Chen Xi felt rather embarrassed, and her voice came out a little coy.
"Xiao Xi, you're awake?" Wei Zhao hadn't expected Chen Xi to wake up so soon.
"Mm, I'm awake. Thank you, Wei Zhao-gege, for saving me and Ziyu-jie, and for… bringing me home." Chen Xi said softly. "Wei Zhao-gege, have you left yet?"
"I haven't left—I'm downstairs. Since you're awake, I'll come up and see you." How could Wei Zhao fail to hear the meaning in Chen Xi's words? He smiled faintly, said nothing of it, and directly offered to come and visit her.
"Mm-hm, then I'll wait for you at home!" Chen Xi was instantly overjoyed—she hadn't even said it, and Wei Zhao had offered himself.
"All right, you wait there—I'll be up in a bit." With that, Wei Zhao hung up, then turned to Foreman Zhu and said, "Is there a supermarket in this compound? Go buy some fruit or something, and we'll pay a visit to Chen Xi and Ziyu."
