Chapter 190 A touch of loss
Lin Xi didn't bother her either.
She knew that at times like this, people most needed their own space.
In the dormitory, Yang Shuyi and Chen Qianyu were not there. She thought for a moment, stood up, put on her coat, put the book in her bag, and walked out.
When she reached the door, Lin Xi said, "I'm going out for a while to buy some things."
Without waiting for Li Xiaoqiu to answer, Lin Xi opened the door and left.
The crying in the room gradually became louder and was no longer that suppressed sound.
Lin Xi walked away quickly.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Lin Xi returned to the dormitory from the library. She scanned with her spiritual sense and found that Li Xiaoqiu was already asleep.
The heartless girl cried for a while, her eyelids still swollen, and she fell asleep.
The next day, the two met successfully in the seventh cafeteria at noon.
Everything happened naturally, as if Li Xiaoqiu had never been to the third canteen.
In the third cafeteria, Mu Qingzhou sat alone and ate.
After a while, a roommate came over with a plate and sat down next to him nonchalantly. "Hey, why didn't your girlfriend come to eat with you today?"
Mu Qingzhou's hand holding the chopsticks froze for a moment, and he said lightly: "She is not my girlfriend."
The roommate scoffed, "Who are you trying to fool? You guys don't eat together every day, right?"
Mu Qingzhou said impatiently: "Really not, she wanted to come here on her own."
The roommate understood, "So he's a suitor."
"Why didn't you come today?"
Mu Qingzhou was silent.
My roommate continued to ramble: "Alas, people like us, no one wants us to be bootlickers."
"You have an endless supply of suitors."
Mu Qingzhou became even more annoyed. He had almost finished eating anyway, so he threw down his chopsticks and stood up.
His roommate called after him, "Hey, aren't you going to put your plate over there?"
Mu Qingzhou stopped and turned to get the plate.
Ever since Li Xiaoqiu started coming to him for dinner, he had never taken care of the plates and he almost forgot about them.
After putting the plate in the designated place, Mu Qingzhou walked away quickly.
······
Friday soon arrived. During lunch, Lin Xi received a text message from Qi Mo, "Will you go to the Li family's birthday party?"
Lin Xi replied with a “hmm”.
Qi Mo sent another message, "Then you need to go home and change clothes this afternoon. I'll pick you up from school this afternoon. I'm going to the dinner party, so we can go together."
Lin Xi replied "OK."
Suddenly I felt that my answer was too concise and seemed a bit cold and heartless?
She added another emoticon to liven up the atmosphere.
Qi Mo happily replied with an emoticon, "What time does get out of class end? I'll wait for you at your dormitory."
Lin Xi replied, "3:30."
After lunch, Li Xiaoqiu was picked up by her family's car.
When she got in the car, Chen Qianyu happened to be returning to the dormitory. When she walked to the dormitory gate, she saw a driver respectfully inviting Li Xiaoqiu to get in the car.
Back in the dormitory, she couldn't help but ask Lin Xi, "What does Xiaoqiu's family do? I just saw a luxury car coming to pick her up."
Yang Shuyi pricked up her ears and heard Lin Xi say, "Well, when she comes back on Sunday, you can ask her yourself."
Chen Qianyu chuckled, "Is Xiaoqiu the daughter of some wealthy family?"
Lin Xi just smiled.
Chen Qianyu felt the meaning of this smile and thought her guess was probably right.
She exclaimed, "No way, if she's a rich lady, she shouldn't be short of money, right? Why would she be your agent?"
Moreover, Li Xiaoqiu was relatively humble in front of Lin Xi, just like Lin Xi's follower. Has the rich lady been so approachable recently?
Lin Xi still said the same thing, "Ask her yourself."
Chen Qianyu felt a little jealous, and then she teased Yang Shuyi, "Haha, it seems like our dormitory is really full of hidden talents."
"There's an international superstar, a rich girl, and even a relative who's a Forbes billionaire!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, after all this time, I'm the poorest."
When Yang Shuyi heard Chen Qianyu mention her fictitious relative, Song Huaijin, the humiliation of that night came flooding back to her mind. She turned her head abruptly and glared at Chen Qianyu fiercely, "I don't want to talk to any of you, let alone argue. Don't bring me up when you talk next time."
Chen Qianyu felt a little scared by her gaze. She pursed her lips and dared not say anything.
After class in the afternoon, Lin Xi packed up and returned to the dormitory.
Qi Mo had already arrived downstairs of her dormitory.
He changed a car and sat in the back seat while the driver, wearing a uniform and white gloves, stood outside the car.
Lin Xi almost missed it. Qi Mo lowered the window and she saw him. She walked over quickly and asked, "Hey, did you change cars?"
Qi Mo got out of the car and said, "That car is too eye-catching. It's not suitable for entering the school, nor for attending the party."
He protected Lin Xi's head and said, "Get in the car."
Lin Xi got in the car and drove towards home.
She glanced at Qi Mo and asked, "Does your family have any relationship with the Li family?"
Qi Mo nodded, "Mr. Li and our old man used to have a very good relationship."
"Although Mr. Li is gone, their affection remains. They must attend the old lady's birthday party."
In fact, Qi Mo had nothing to do with this.
However, he went to visit his grandparents last weekend and learned about this. He guessed that given the relationship between Lin Xi and Li Xiaoqiu, she would definitely go. He suddenly had an idea and said that he wanted to go to the party as well.
Grandpa was quite happy at the time, thinking that Qi Mo was going to protect the two elders.
Finally, the unscrupulous grandson said, "I plan to go with my friends."
hehe.
Lin Xi went home and with the help of Aunt Zhou, she tied her hair up, put on makeup, and looked in the closet, where she found two evening dresses.
She casually put on a burgundy velvet evening gown, put on an ankle-length black cashmere coat, and held an evening bag in her hand.
In her previous life, she sometimes had to attend dinner parties when she was on a mission, and she had learned the techniques of clothing matching and even simple hair-do.
Aunt Zhou and Lin Fenfang looked at Lin Xi dressed like this and both clapped their hands, "It looks great. It really looks great in this outfit."
Lin Fenfang felt that her daughter was like a rich lady, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Aunt Zhou has a poor vocabulary and can't think of anything other than "beautiful".
When Lin Xi went out, Qi Mo was already waiting outside.
He was wearing a three-piece suit inside and a long black coat outside.
It was also the first time he saw Lin Xi dressed up.
It was so beautiful that he couldn't even look at it directly.
He was afraid that if he looked any longer, the fire in his heart would quickly burn him to ashes.
Lin Fenfang and Aunt Zhou stood at the door and watched the two of them enter the elevator.
When the elevator went down, Aunt Zhou said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Xixi and Qi Mo standing together are a perfect match. They both look like they came out of a movie."
