Please Confess to me

Chapter 26

In a bright and early morning, two people and a dog were running through a street covered in gingko leaves.

"Here." Seeing the crystalline sweat beads on Shen Xi's ruddy skin, Su Hang offered her a sweat towel.

"Thank you." Shen Xi accepted the towel and wiped away her sweat. Afterward, she handed it back to the man.

Su Hang retied the towel on his wrist, a light laugh escaping the corners of his mouth. Ever since Shen Xi started running with him, he had made a habit of bringing a towel during their morning runs.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Xi doubtfully asked.

"Ah?" Su Hang blinked. "What?"

"I asked you what you were laughing at." Shen Xi repeated.

"Me?" Su Hang seemed a little in disbelief. "Did I laugh?"

"Silly!" Shen Xi found his stupefied expression funny. But after a quick glance, she turned her back on Su Hang and continued her run.

"Woof!" Chu Wu saw his Mom start to run back home. Thinking of all the delicious meat and bones waiting for him, Chu Wu excitedly followed, barking non-stop as he did so.

After seeing such a scene, the corners of Su Hang's mouth once again rose uncontrollably.

Was this happiness? To have a smile on your face without even realizing it.

After breakfast, Shen Xi and Su Hang went out of the front door together.

Su Hang was going to work as usual, while Shen Xi was going to the orphanage to deliver supplies.

Shen Xi doesn't usually wear extravagant clothes on regular days, but today, her clothes were much simpler. Maybe it was because she was going to an orphanage, but instead of wearing her usual coat, Shen Xi was wearing a black down jacket. Instead of a designer bag, she had a gray shoulder bag slung across her shoulder, containing a bunch of snacks she had asked Mrs. Zhang to buy for her in the supermarket yesterday.

"Going to the orphanage today?" Su Hang asked.

"Un." Shen Xi opened her car door and put her bag on the passenger seat.

"Have fun." Su Hang said.

"Will do!" Thinking of the invitation the children had sent her, Shen Xi couldn't help but smile.

Su Hang nodded and got in his car. He looked at Shen Xi in his rearview mirror and thought: This time, I'll let you go first. But I'll definitely take you next time.

Shen Xi watched Su Hang drive away, and turned to set off. She said her goodbyes to Mrs. Zhang, rubbed Chu Wu in the head, then entered her car and drove off. Shen Xi planned to drive the car to the foundation first, and then go to the orphanage together with the volunteers. Otherwise, her million-dollar luxury car parked next to the orphanage will be on the headlines tomorrow.

"You've arrived?" Li Ye saw Shen Xi come in and greeted her.

"I hope I'm not late." She had been stuck in traffic partway through her drive to the foundation, and Shen Xi was worried that she had delayed the departure time.

"No, we've just finished loading the supplies." Because the Qing'an orphanage wasn't that large, there weren't as many supplies needed to be sent. They only needed to rent a van for the volunteers and a small truck for the supplies. "You'll sit together with the other volunteers in the van."

"Alright." Shen Xi confirmed where the van would be and nodded her head. She raised her hand to reposition her shoulder bag, and as she did so, her diamond ring flashed against the sun, creating a dazzling light.
