The moment he met Qi Yu's gaze, Xu Liang suddenly deflated.

The words got stuck in my throat and I lost the motivation to speak them out.

She hastily looked away and evaded the question: "No..."

Then he ate silently without saying a word.

The person opposite also continued his actions after a brief silence.

…

After meeting Song Ying, Xu Ying drove Qi Yu to Song Ying's car.

He said that since he now occupied her body, he should do things that were consistent with her behavior.

Somehow, Qi Yu agreed very readily this time.

Xu Liang followed behind Song Ying's car, his thoughts still racing in his mind.

At the red light intersection, the three-digit seconds ticked slowly. The cold wind mixed with the sound of whistles drifted into the car. Xu Liang was slightly distracted, and his eyes fell on Qi Yu's phone on the center console.

Did he see any news about Zhao Jingshu...

When she sees that person later, how should she react with his body?

Will they get back together?

Is she going to take his place to please his sweetheart?

Suddenly, Xu Liang felt the familiar bitterness of black coffee surge into his heart again.

Realizing that his emotions had escaped his brain's control, Xu Liang looked straight ahead again and noticed that the two people in the car in front seemed to be discussing something.

Before I had time to think about it, the dazzling red had already turned into bright green.

The sound of wheels rolling over the road came one after another, and the sound outside the window rolled by again.

The club is located in a bustling area in the city center, its audience is relatively monotonous, and the threshold is high.

However, Lu Jiayi's writing has always been high-brow.

They were the only three people left at the party.

Lu Jiayi, who had been waiting for Qi Yu to come, was waiting at the door early. When he saw him finally arrive, he came up to him and started teasing him.

"Boss Qi is really trying to keep me in suspense. I've been waiting for you all day. We haven't seen each other for a long time. You have to drink three glasses of wine tonight!"

Xu Liang was a little uncomfortable with being put on the shoulder by a man he was not familiar with.

In order not to reveal her true identity, she could only laugh dryly, turned around calmly, and said that she wanted to wait for Xu Jing and Song Ying who had not yet gotten off the car.

Lu Jiayi's gaze followed and he greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Xu, Doctor Song, long time no see!"

After a few polite words, they followed Lu Jiayi in.

Xu Liang walked slowly, the hand hidden in his pocket clenched slightly, and his lips were inexplicably dry.

She lowered her head and licked her lips quietly before she let out a breath. Suddenly, a voice hit her ears.

"Why are you so nervous?" Qi Yu slowed down his pace and walked beside her.

He frightened him so much that his whole body trembled, and Xu Liang's emotions, which had finally calmed down, became tense again.

She deliberately distanced herself from him: "I'm not nervous, just don't get too close to me."

Qi Yu didn't listen, took a step sideways, and closed the distance between them.

He said it was his body and he could tell at a glance whether he was nervous or not.

Xu Liang stopped talking.

He is really annoying.

He really is haunting.

He's been pestering her all day, and now he has to expose her!

Song Ying didn't know why, but he walked forward in silence without even looking back.

Xu Liang continued to play dead, completely avoiding eye contact with Qi Yu.

Fortunately, Lu Jiayi was always paying attention to his roommate. Seeing that he was falling behind, he took the initiative to come over.

As if he had met a savior, Xu Liang followed him without hesitation.

But after sitting down, he finally understood Lu Jiayi's thoughts——

Lu Jiayi arranged Qi Yu's seat next to Zhao Jingshu.

'Xu Kyung' and Song Ying were sitting on the other side of the round table.

Xu Liang could always feel Zhao Jingshu's fiery gaze.

Six years have passed, and this old classmate has changed a lot. He has become more graceful and charming.

I heard that she just returned to China not long ago.

"Qi Yu, long time no see." She took the initiative to speak and repeated the message.

Facing this person, Xu Liang didn't know what expression she should show. Facing her loved one... she was not good at it at all.

His eyes subconsciously looked for Qi Yu and Song Ying opposite him.

She then realized that both of them were looking at her.

Qi Yu looked calm, as if waiting for her reaction.

Song Ying looked like he was watching a show.

Feeling even less confident, Xu Liang pursed his lips, trying to give a conservative reply.

The man next to her spoke before she could, "I sent you a message yesterday, but you didn't reply. I heard you're now the CEO of Yian? After all these years, it seems you've forgotten about me, your old classmate?"

Her voice was quite loud and could be heard by everyone around them.

But it wasn't that loud, at least Qi Yu and Song Ying on the opposite side didn't hear it.

Xu Liang noticed that the people around him were paying attention to them, waiting for her answer.

After a moment's deliberation, she tried her best to imitate Qi Yu's tone: "I'm just too busy and don't have time to reply."

This actually sounded normal to Xu Ying. Qi Yu was indeed very busy and he would handle work at home on weekends.

But to others, these words sounded like an attempt to avoid suspicion.

The few students who came to join in the fun kept silent and just looked at him quietly.

The smile on Zhao Jingshu's lips froze for a moment, and before she could respond, Lu Jiayi, one of the organizers of this party, stood up and spoke.

Lu Jiayi has a cheerful personality and was the class monitor in college. His classmates all had good relationships with each other and the atmosphere at the table was relatively relaxed.

After a few general opening remarks, Lu Jiayi turned his attention to Zhao Jingshu.

Zhao Jingshu is another initiator.

"This time, thanks to the beautiful Zhao, whom we haven't seen for a long time, she found such a great place. Let's all toast to her together!"

As soon as Xu Liang raised his glass, Zhao Jingshu took the initiative to clink hers over.

Her voice was like warm jade soaked in honey, making it hard not to listen intently: "You're welcome, everyone. I came back just to see you all. I've been abroad for the past few years, and I really miss my university life!"

As the glasses clinked, she added, "And the people around me."

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell who she was referring to.

The crisp sound of collision fell into Xu Liang's ears, and it felt like a stone was blocking her heart. It was not big or small, but enough to make her feel suffocated.

Looking down at the clear wine, Xu Kyung felt the urge to drink it all in one gulp.

Lu Jiayi turned the topic back to Qi Yu.

"And then there are our two big names, President Qi and President Xu. They're always in the news, so everyone should know them, right? President Qi was late today, and we just agreed to drink three cups as punishment. We're all watching!"

Xu Liang guessed what Lu Jiayi was going to say.

Well, that just gave her a reason.

"We have to go to work tomorrow, so let's call it a day today, shall we?" Before Xu Liang could move, the person opposite him spoke first.

Almost everyone looked over at the same time. Lu Jiayi chuckled and said jokingly, "Boss Xu is indeed a man of great vision. He would help a competitor like Boss Qi block the drinking. But this is a promise Qi Yu made to me, his roommate, so he can't just renege on it."

Xu Liang never looked at Qi Yu, but noticed from his slightly sideways gaze that Zhao Jingshu was staring straight ahead.

Pushing the chair away and standing up, she still imitated Qi Yu's indifference and readily agreed: "I'm not bad, Doctor Lu, can you fill it up for me?"

"Qi Yu," Song Ying hurriedly stopped him as soon as he finished speaking: "You should not drink so much, right?"

Song Ying knew Xu Liang's alcohol tolerance. Although it was not bad, she might not be able to handle three full cups.

Xu Liang, however, was unperturbed and urged Lu Jiayi, "It's okay. I'm a person who always keeps my word."

The liquid in the wine glass filled up again and again, and the weight in my hand increased again and again.

The irritating liquid quickly went down his throat, but Xu Liang didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he felt refreshed all over.

She seldom drank, and was seldom sad.

At this moment, I felt the taste of drowning my sorrows in alcohol.

After three glasses of wine, the smell of alcohol was already strong in his breath.

Finally, there is no more unbearable bitterness.

When I sat down again, all the dishes were on the table.

Xu Liang happened to be hungry, so he followed them and started eating.

The long-awaited exchanges continued, but Xu Liang's appetite was whetted and he just wanted to eat well.

He just kept his head down and picked up the food with chopsticks, putting it into his mouth without even looking.

She noticed the familiar burning sensation on her body, but she didn't want to look at him. She didn't want her finally happy mood to disappear again.

But she forgot that there was another person named Zhao Jingshu beside her.

She leaned over and whispered, "Qi Yu, are you free tonight? After the party, can you go somewhere with me?"

Xu Liang was choked by the sudden words and started coughing violently.

She didn't answer, just said hello and rushed to the bathroom.

The cold water splashed on her face and she spat out everything in her mouth. Her body felt better, but her emotions plummeted like she was on a roller coaster.

She didn't know if she had misunderstood what Zhao Jingshu meant. Her heart beat uncontrollably and the nerves distributed there automatically transmitted the pain to her brain.

It hurts so much.

It feels so uncomfortable.

When I looked up and saw the person in the mirror, the pain was even more intense.

She reached out and pressed her hand on her left breast, biting the soft flesh of her jaw.

She was the one who was suffering, so why was 'he' heartbroken?

Soul swapping is the worst thing ever.

Without the exchange, I wouldn't hear these words, and I wouldn't feel heartache because of this person.

She really wanted to use her body to reject Zhao Jingshu.

Xu Liang's mood was a mess.

She had just tidied herself up and was thinking about how to face Zhao Jingshu, but she didn't expect that person to be waiting for her at the toilet door.

His pace was slightly disrupted, and Xu Liang slowly stopped.

Zhao Jingshu's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked like she was ready to do anything.

"Qi Yu, are you trying to reject me again?"

This question made Xu Liang stunned.

"You rejected me once seven years ago. Are you going to use the same rhetoric seven years later?"

reject?

What to reject?

Aren't they what is called 'caring about each other and having a tacit understanding'?

Isn’t it because Zhao Jingshu is going abroad to study that they don’t have the chance to be together officially?

Xu Kyung didn't know how to answer.

Her silence became Zhao Jingshu's consent.

Zhao Jingshu directly exposed her: "Qi Yu, if you really like Xu Liang, why haven't you two been together for all these years? I've read the news. Almost everyone in the elderly care industry knows that you two are not getting along! Why would you lie to me with such unbelievable lies?!"

“!”

Xu Liang was completely stunned in an instant, and stood there in a daze.
