BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269 - Disappointment
In the end, Song Wei boarded the plane along with the couple with a bright smile on his face.
Song Xing Xing glanced at her brother who was seated a few rows away with an unhappy expression on her face.
She could already imagine what will this bright light bulb do to disturb her and Lu Xun. All her plans about being together with just Lu Xun will be destroyed.
Song Xing Xing thought about the garments that she had bought while shopping with Liu Yu Sheng and heaved a long sigh. It seemed that she had spent her money for nothing. That set of underwear and nightgown she bought will not see the light during this trip.
Her gaze shifted towards Lu Xun. The man was busy texting someone before the flight departure. She really could not understand how did he had agreed so fast to let her brother join them.
Wasn\'t he looking forward to being alone with her?
Of course, Song Xing Xing did not think that it was the word, \'Future Brother-in-Law\' that got Lu Xun to agree to Song Wei\'s question.
Sensing that someone was staring at him with displeasure, Lu Xun finally turned around. His gaze softened and Lu Xun put down the phone in his hand.
"What\'s wrong?" His tone was coaxing.
"Why did you allow Song Wei to come with us?"
Lu Xun saw the unhappy look on his girlfriend\'s face and sighed. He stretched up his hand and rubbed her cheek with his thumb. "Isn\'t it because he\'s your brother? Even if we leave him behind, he would probably follow us secretly. It would be safer to let him come with us. At least we can keep our eyes on him."
Song Xing Xing pondered over Lu Xun\'s words and thought that the scenario where Song Wei would follow them secretly was very possible.
This younger brother can be a little clingy sometimes.
"Don\'t worry. Everything will be fine," Lu Xun continued to coax. "It\'s just one extra person coming with us."
Song Xing Xing pursed her lips into a thin line. Her brother was already on board. Even if she\'s unhappy about it, there was nothing that she could do about it.
Thinking about their destination, Song Xing Xing turned to Lu Xun again. "Why are we going to K City?"
Song Xing Xing had always thought that Lu Xun was going to take her to play around the beach. But when she looked at the flight ticket just now, Song Xing Xing was a little disappointed.
K City was far away from any beach. There were only tall trees and mountains around.
"Someone will pick us up from K City. Then, we\'ll travel west for three hours until we reach a small town."
Song Xing Xing listened to his explanation with a complicated expression on her face.
What small town?
She was looking forward to playing with the white sand and swimming in the water. Then, she was looking forward to having some seafood and her favorite prawn for dinner.
Since they were at the beach, the seafood would taste sweet and fresh.
But it turned out that they were not going to the beach.
Then, what was the point of buying new swimming suits?
Why did Lu Xun tell her that she could play around in the water?
It will be her birthday and things were not going as she had expected. At this time, she could not hide her unhappiness.
However, Lu Xun had not noticed the look on Song Xing Xing\'s face as the steward was reminding them to wear their seatbelt properly as they were about to depart soon.
Song Xing Xing closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep to hide her disappointment.
Seeing that the girl had already fallen asleep, Lu Xun asked the steward to pass him a blanket. He covered her body and pecked at her cheek.
His gaze fell on her sleeping face for a few seconds longer. Then, Lu Xun turned around and focused on his tablet to look at a few documents that his assistant had forwarded to him.
The flight landed after two hours.
Lu Xun poked at his girlfriend\'s arms as he woke her up.
Her lashes trembled and Song Xing Xing finally woke up. Her heart jolted in surprise upon seeing the handsome face in front of her. It took her a few seconds to compose herself.
"We\'ve arrived."
Song Xing Xing looked around and recalled that she had fallen asleep in flight. "Oh."
As the plane was still on the runway, Song Xing Xing took her chance to touch up her face a little bit. A breath of relief escaped her once she realized that she was not drooling or anything.
After a while, the three of them grabbed their belongings and alighted together.
Because Song Wei did not bring too many clothes with him, he decided to shop around the airport\'s mall for some necessities. Fortunately, the airport in K City was big enough and there were many shops around.
Meanwhile, Song Xing Xing and Lu Xun hung around a cafe to enjoy some coffee and pastries.
Song Xing Xing watched as her boyfriend carried a tray of food and suddenly her stomach started to grumble. She took a bite at the pain au chocolate and heaved in satisfaction. The pastry was flaky ad buttery. The chocolate was creamy but not overly sweet. It was a great match with the cup of latte.
"Are you feeling better?" Lu Xun asked.
He noticed that his girlfriend was a little unhappy before and thought that it was all because of her brother who had suddenly decided to tag along.
Song Xing Xing nodded. She had taken a nap during the flight. When she woke up, Song Xing Xing had made her decision that she should not put a high expectation on this trip. Only then will she be able to enjoy this trip.
"Didn\'t you say that someone will pick us up?" Song Xing Xing spoke after a few bites of her food. "Will it be alright to let that person wait for us?"
"It\'s fine." Lu Xun smiled. "That person was still on his way to the airport. He will arrive in half an hour. Your brother can take his time to shop."
Song Xing Xing began to relax.. She would feel uncomfortable if they had to make Lu Xun\'s friend wait for them in the arrival hall while they were eating leisurely.
