Chapter 84 You Must Take Responsibility for Me
Lin Xiyin remained silent.
Xiao Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to pay him any attention at all.
Huo Xianyang said, "If you don't want to eat, you can leave. Did anyone stop you?"
Chi Tianlin was already angry, and Huo Xianyang provoked him at this time.
He said, "Okay, before I leave, let's discuss what you said to me!"
Huo Xianyang now understands what it means to have trouble because of what you say.
When Xiao Ruoyi said those things to him, it was just a joke.
He relayed it to Chi Tianlin, which was definitely a joke.
Who knew that Chi Tianlin would take it seriously.
Now that Chi Tianlin is so concerned, it's really his fault for being so talkative.
What if Xiao Ruoyi stops telling him everything from now on?
He quickly begged for forgiveness: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. This place is a bit simple today, can you choose whichever you like next time?"
Chi Tianlin gets angry quickly, but he's also easy to appease.
He then said, "That's more like it."
Xiao Ruoyi and Lin Xiyin exchanged a glance and silently mouthed two words: childish.
Lin Xiyin didn't say much, but the dinner was quite lively overall.
Because of Xiao Ruoyi and Chi Tianlin, the two of them couldn't stand each other and kept arguing, making the meal quite a lively affair.
Lin Xiyin didn't interrupt much, but she ate quite a lot.
While arguing with Chi Tianlin, Xiao Ruoyi also had to find time to glare at Huo Xianyang.
But this did not affect her taking care of Lin Xiyin in the slightest.
If Lin Xiyin ate even a couple more bites of food, she would turn the dish to face her, and sometimes she would even use serving chopsticks to pick it up for her.
Huo Xianyang watched from the sidelines with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
I wish Xiao Ruoyi could be so considerate, attentive, and gentle to him someday.
He was filled with endless sorrow.
Xiao Ruoyi served food to Lin Xiyin, and he silently served food to Xiao Ruoyi in return.
Chi Tianlin looked at the three of them, and his expression darkened again.
Because no one served him food, and no one asked him to serve them food.
He was self-sufficient throughout, like a pitiful little guy who had no one to love him.
If he's having a hard time, then nobody else should have a good time either.
He threw down his chopsticks and said, "Can you guys stop being so sticky?"
Huo Xianyang had just served Xiao Ruoyi a bowl of soup and thoughtfully placed it in her hands.
Hearing Chi Tianlin say this, he said, "There's nothing you can do. That's just how it is when you're with someone you like. You can't stand it because you haven't experienced it. You'll understand when you have someone you like."
"Even if I have someone I like, it certainly won't be like you." Chi Tianlin scoffed, "Pathetic."
Huo Xianyang said, "That's because you haven't experienced the sweetness of love."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Ruoyi looked at him and asked, "What, you've figured it out?"
Huo Xianyang quickly said, "I haven't yet, but I'd like to experience the sweetness of pursuing someone first."
Xiao Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Xiyin could only laugh when she heard that.
Chi Tianlin turned his attention to her again: "Tell me, why did you say those things about me?"
Lin Xiyin could no longer laugh.
Xiao Ruoyi said, "Ruan Ruan was just joking..."
Chi Tianlin glanced at her indifferently: "I didn't ask you."
Lin Xiyin patted Xiao Ruoyi's arm and said, "I'm sorry. No matter what my purpose was at the time, it was wrong of me to say those words. I apologize to you and hope you can forgive me."
What if I don't forgive?
Xiao Ruoyi was so angry she wanted to slam her hand on the table: "Chi Tianlin, don't push your luck!"
"How did I push my luck?" Chi Tianlin said, "Just like that, I've suddenly become gay? Don't you know that it's easy to spread rumors but exhausting to refute them? If this gets back to my family, I'll never be able to clear my name!"
Huo Xianyang said, "Don't exaggerate. Nobody in your family cares whether you like men or women. In short, as long as someone can win you over, no matter if they're male or female, your family will treat them like a god!"
"Get out!" Chi Tianlin snapped angrily. "Who gives you the right to speak here?"
Huo Xianyang said, "With your temper, you can't even find a toad, let alone a man!"
"Huo Xianyang!"
Huo Xianyang wasn't easily intimidated by his imposing manner: "Why are you yelling so loudly? Am I wrong? You're always being sarcastic, arrogant, and have a temper as foul as a pile of shit..."
As he said this, Xiao Ruoyi pinched him hard: "We're eating, can you stop being so disgusting?"
“I’m sorry,” Huo Xianyang apologized immediately, “I was wrong.”
Chi Tianlin said, "If love is like you, so subservient and shameless, then I'd rather stay single!"
Lin Xiyin was eating when she heard him say that, and she paused in her chewing.
In the past, wasn't she always groveling and shameless in front of Pei Muye?
Unfortunately, she lacked the confidence and principles of Chi Tianlin.
However, she has now come to her senses and returned to the right path.
"Eat up." Xiao Ruoyi put more food on her plate. "Don't listen to what he says. If he's still single in a couple of years, his family will probably start trying to arrange marriages for him. It's really tough that they can't even decide their own marriages."
Huo Xianyang immediately said, "My parents said that I can decide my own marriage, Yiyi."
"Just make the decision, why are you telling me this!"
Chi Tianlin said, "You're making it sound like I can't even decide my own marriage! Huo Xianyang, don't brag. If you make too many promises, no one can help you."
Chi Tianlin said this because his family was already looking for a blind date for Huo Xianyang.
Huo Xianyang gave him a warning look.
Chi Tianlin scoffed and said nothing more.
In short, all of today's events were caused by a single sentence from Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin now truly feels that her comment about whether Chi Tianlin liked boys was indeed inappropriate.
If this gets back to those who are interested, it will indeed embarrass Chi Tianlin.
She had no choice but to apologize to Chi Tianlin again: "I'm really sorry, I will be more careful with my words in the future and I will never say anything like that again!"
"An apology? I can accept it." Chi Tianlin glanced at the table. "It's just the next meal. You decide what to do."
Huo Xianyang said, "Didn't I say it was my treat?"
Lin Xiyin quickly said, "I'll treat. I'll treat you to a meal whenever President Chi has time to apologize."
"Alright then." Chi Tianlin, having gotten the better deal, feigned innocence: "I'll check my schedule later."
Huo Xianyang wanted to slap him with his chopsticks: "Stop showing off! Lin Xiyin is pregnant now, stop messing with her."
"Speaking of which," Chi Tianlin stared at Lin Xiyin, "how's the divorce going?"
Everyone was looking at her.
Lin Xiyin knew that of the four people present, she was probably the only one who was penniless.
If she said that Pei Muye wanted her to pay back the money before getting a divorce, all three of them might be able to lend her the money.
But Lin Xiyin didn't want to borrow from them.
Xiao Ruoyi is alright. She has lent money to her before, and the two have been in a relationship for so many years, so it won't be awkward for her to borrow money from her.
But Chi Tianlin and Huo Xianyang are different.
Lin Xiyin couldn't bring up the matter of repaying the money, so she could only say, "Soon."
"I've never seen a divorce drag on like this," Chi Tianlin said. "Is Pei Muyi even a man? Doesn't he know what it means to cut things off quickly?"
Lin Xiyin fell silent.
Xiao Ruoyi said, "You don't know the inside story, so say less."
"Why should I say less?" Chi Tianlin retorted, displeased. "Isn't what I said true? We've been talking about divorce for so long! Lin Xiyin, are you changing your mind about getting a divorce?"
Lin Xiyin said, "I want a divorce."
Chi Tianlin looked at her: "You need to be more assertive, you know? With your attitude right now, I can't help but want to bully you..."
Before he could finish speaking, perhaps realizing it was a bit inappropriate, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Xiao Ruoyi glared at him: "You dare to bully our Ruan Ruan and see what happens!"
Chi Tianlin glared back: "She acted like she was being bullied, and now she's blaming me?"
Lin Xiyin felt very wronged.
She has always been a bit cold-hearted since childhood. When she was in school, many of her classmates, especially the girls, did not get along well with her.
However, there were also a few people who liked her after getting to know her.
She wasn't actually as arrogant as she seemed.
Lin Xiyin never thought that the words "easy to bully" would be associated with her.
Xiao Ruoyi said, "Ruan Ruan just doesn't care about so much, but in your eyes, that makes her easy to bully!"
The meal was over quickly, with lots of eating and drinking, and a few playful arguments.
Huo Xianyang pulled Xiao Ruoyi to pay the bill.
Chi Tianlin and Lin Xiyin walked behind.
Chi Tianlin said, "If my reputation is damaged and I can't find a girlfriend, it's all your fault."
Lin Xiyin said, "I've already apologized."
"I don't care," Chi Tianlin said. "Anyway, you have to take responsibility."
Lin Xiyin asked in surprise, "How can I take responsibility?"
"If I can't find a girlfriend, you'll have to make one up to me!"
Lin Xiyin stared at him in shock.
How can this person be so shameless?
How could he say such a thing?
She said something unintentionally, and as a result, he had to give her a girlfriend?
Lin Xiyin knew his temperament; if she didn't meet his expectations, he would probably be relentless.
She could only say, "What kind of person are you looking for? I'll keep an eye out for you."
"I haven't decided yet," Chi Tianlin said. "You can owe me for now."
Lin Xiyin thought, no wonder she thought that way, Chi Tianlin's behavior showed that he was not interested in girls.
They also don't know how to cherish women.
In his eyes, women have no special privileges or conveniences.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like for a man like him to fall in love with someone in the future.
The four returned to school. At the school gate, Lin Xiyin got out of the car, and Chi Tianlin also got out.
Lin Xiyin bent down and said to Xiao Ruoyi in the driver's seat, "Yiyi, I can get in by myself. Please drive carefully."
"Then you can call me if you need anything, or tell me what you want to eat."
Lin Xiyin nodded obediently, then waved goodbye to her.
Huo Xianyang glanced at Chi Tianlin outside the car from the passenger seat: "Aren't you getting in?"
Chi Tianlin put his hands in his pockets: "My car is inside the school."
After saying that, he gestured with his chin toward Lin Xiyin and said, "Let's go."
Lin Xiyin turned and walked inside without saying a word, and he followed behind her.
Xiao Ruoyi frowned as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance: "What exactly is Chi Tianlin trying to do?"
Huo Xianyang couldn't figure him out either: "I don't know. But what I do know is that he has no ill intentions towards Lin Xiyin."
It was winter, and the scenery on campus wasn't very pleasant.
The two walked side by side for a short while when Lin Xiyin looked up and saw someone.
