Chapter 150: Crazy Melon Eating
As Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly approached, what came towards me was her anger and the pleasant smell of citrus perfume.
The shower gel at home is citrus-scented, as are the scented candles. It seems that she wants to fill her world with whatever scent she likes.
It was just her love, passionate but short-lived.
Like she loves citrus flavors now, whereas a week ago she was crazy about strawberry flavors.
She has a childish nature and is always enthusiastic for only a short time.
"Chi Chu, speak!"
Xia Xiaoxiao got angry when she saw him silent.
Chi Chu took a step back to put some distance between them. His usually cold voice only softened when he spoke to Xia Xiaoxiao: "What do you want me to say?"
It's another unclear rhetorical question.
Xia Xiaoxiao was in no mood to argue with him anymore. She calmed down and said, "I'll move out of your house tonight. Just think of these years as repaying my mother for saving my life. I don't need you to care about me anymore."
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is, I'm not chasing after you, you stinky popsicle anymore. I'm going to date some fresh-faced guy who likes me!"
Xia Xiaoxiao was also wearing high heels, her heels were higher and sharper than Xu Qingwu's. After she finished speaking, she stomped hard on Chi Chu's foot to vent her anger.
Chi Chu, who was still in a daze, was caught off guard by her action and was stepped on. The indifferent expression on his face began to crack.
He subconsciously let go of Xia Xiaoxiao's hand and watched her break free from his hand like a butterfly and quickly go downstairs.
After finishing eating the melon, Xu Qingwu was about to close the door quietly.
Chi Chu's sharp gaze had already turned over, and it was obvious that he had discovered them.
Since they've been discovered, there's no point in hiding. Cen Xihuai, who had just been stepped on, felt the same way and said, "That must have hurt a lot."
Chi Chu: “…”
Chi Chu ignored them and turned to go downstairs.
Xu Qingwu was a little embarrassed when she was caught eating melon by the melon owner, but she was more worried about Xia Xiaoxiao now.
Although Xia Xiaoxiao looks heartless at ordinary times, she is more thoughtful than anyone else because she has been ill since she was a child. Just now, she seemed to really like Chi Chu.
But this is not difficult to understand. Although Chi Chu appears cold on the surface, he is a loyal man and always responds to Xia Xiaoxiao's requests. In addition, with his outstanding appearance and figure, it is easy for Xia Xiaoxiao to fall in love with him as two people who are not related by blood live under the same roof for a long time.
"I'll go find Xiaoxiao."
"Go ahead."
Xu Qingwu went downstairs to look for someone, calling Xia Xiaoxiao while walking. Cen Xihuai also followed her downstairs and found Chi Chu drinking at the bar.
Cen Xihuai sat down next to him: "Have a drink with you?"
Chi Chu didn't say much and handed the wine to him. Cen Xihuai took it and took a sip.
Chi Chu was disgusted: "That's all you can drink?"
Cen Xihuai: "Drink it all at once, what will you drink next?"
"This is a bar, what else can we drink?"
"I'll just have one drink."
“…”
Cen Xihuai put down his wine glass and asked him, "You've been in a bad mood these days because of your niece?"
They postponed their return to Beijing after a business trip because Chi Chu went crazy and beat someone up that day, and the cooperation almost fell through.
Chi Chu didn't say anything and just drank, but his meaning was obvious.
Cen Xihuai had no experience in comforting others, so he could only drink a sip of wine.
"How about I share my forum with you so you can learn from it?"
"What forum?"
"Teaching how to get along in love and marriage."
"You learn it on your own."
"You haven't had a conversation before, so it never hurts to learn more."
Chi Chu: “…”
Cen Xihuai didn't care whether others needed it or not. He just opened Chi Chu's WeChat and shared the forum with him.
I am teaching you everything I know, and I just hope you will study hard.
While Chi Chu was still drinking to drown his sorrows, Xu Qingwu also found Xia Xiaoxiao on the other side.
In the toilet.
Xu Qingwu thought that she was hiding somewhere crying because she didn't answer the phone, but it turned out that she was solving the most important matter in her life in the bathroom.
Xu Qingwu waited patiently outside the door. Xia Xiaoxiao finally came out after a long time. "This lab is really not a place for people to stay. I've been sitting here all day and I'm constipated."
"Are you okay?" Xu Qingwu looked into her eyes carefully and found no signs of crying.
"It's okay, just go get a whipped coconut velvet latte and let it go."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
This girl is a little too careless. Who asked her this?
Xu Qingwu confessed to her: "When Cen Xihuai and I were resting on the second floor, we heard you talking to Chi Chu."
Xia Xiaoxiao said indifferently: "I heard it, so I heard it."
"Do you really like Chi Chu?"
"Of course I like him. He's not my biological uncle. He's tall, handsome, rich, and treats me well. It would be abnormal if I didn't like him, right?"
“There’s nothing wrong with it, but…”
"No buts. The more he resists, the more I want to conquer him. Sooner or later, I'll win him over." Xia Xiaoxiao wiped her hands with a tissue and threw it into the trash can. "I've been too busy lately, so this is a good time to give him some time to dry out. After this period of time, I'll play the game of chase with him."
Xu Qingwu didn't know how to comment, and after a long while, he could only utter two words: "You are awesome..."
Xia Xiaoxiao took Xu Qingwu's hand and said, "Go buy me some coffee. I'm in a bad mood right now. I need to clear my stomach first."
Xia Xiaoxiao did whatever she wanted, and Xu Qingwu was happy to accompany her. They put on their coats and prepared to go buy coffee.
Everyone in the bar was showing their arms and legs, so it was obvious that they were dressed so tightly.
Jiang You also saw them: "Are you leaving?"
"No, I'm going to go get a cup of coffee with Xiaoxiao."
"I have freshly ground coffee here, too. What kind would you like?"
Xia Xiaoxiao smiled: "The ones here are not good enough. I have to go to Mo Xing to buy some to help me feel better."
Jiang You laughed and led them through the back door of the bar: "There's a shortcut here, just go through it."
If you go through the main gate, you have to take a detour for more than ten minutes. It's so cold outside now, it would be great to have a shortcut.
After thanking him, the two walked out.
However, what the two did not expect was that they ran into a scene of three people confronting each other not long after they walked away.
Xia Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Xu Qingwu behind a telephone pole. The two of them hunched over each other, trying to reduce their presence.
Xu Qingwu felt like she had turned into a badger running around in a melon field today, eating a melon with every step she took.
And she didn't want to eat it on her own initiative, it was all delivered to her door.
The three people under the dim street lights are Cen Yue, Qi Yan and Qi Siyang.
Cen Yue was like a sandwich, caught between these two cousins.
"What is your relationship?" The person asking the question was Qi Yan. His face was gloomy, as if he was trying hard to suppress his anger.
Cen Yue retorted: "We are divorced, what do you care about our relationship?"
"You insist on divorcing me, is it because of him?" Qi Yan stepped forward and pressed Cen Yue, "Did you sleep with him?"
Qi Siyang stood in front of Cen Yue, his gentle voice full of momentum: "Qi Yan, please be respectful. Yueyue and I are not what you think."
"Yueyue? You're calling her that in a very intimate way!" Qi Yan's eyes were red as he loudly questioned Qi Siyang, "Can you swear that you don't have any feelings for her?"
