Li Xi: "..." It was a fake kiss.
After that, Li Xi never went on another blind date because she had found a universal way to refuse. "There's no rush to meet. We can chat online first and then meet if we're compatible." Then, wasn't everything in Li Xi's control? Wasn't it just her words that decided whether they were compatible?
Then, Li Xi traveled through time and space, and she didn't have the chance to go on a blind date again, because she got married right after traveling through time. She got married too young.
Ahem, that's a bit far-fetched.
As someone who had been through it before, Li Xi understood Su Yu's feelings very well. In order to divert her attention, she introduced to her tonight's dishes. Su Yu was indeed attracted by the dishes Li Xi described, and temporarily forgot the anxiety of meeting her blind date.
Until the two of them walked into the living room and looked at Jing Limo, who heard the noise and stood up to greet people, and then the two of them stared at each other for a long time.
Li Xi later asked Su Yu what she felt at that moment. She said that when they looked at each other, it felt like fireworks were blooming in their eyes, and the sound of her heartbeat like a drum echoed in her ears. "Boom, boom, boom," one after another, clearly audible.
As for Li Xi's feelings, she was stunned for a moment because Su Yu, who had been talking to her a moment before, suddenly became quiet and stood still. When she noticed their gazes were locked, all that came to her mind was a line from a movie she'd seen before: "The moment you first see someone fall in love."
Although she herself is still in a naive state when it comes to relationships and affection, it doesn't stop her from supporting couples. After reading so many novels and comics, she can still tell when two people have feelings for each other and like each other.
Besides, after Su Yu and Jing Limo locked eyes, neither of them looked away for a long time. This was not a common occurrence for either Su Yu or Jing Limo, as staring at someone was quite rude.
Li Xi was happy to let them make eye contact and didn't bother them. Luo Jingxuan was just a bystander, and seeing that Li Xi didn't say anything to remind him, he didn't want to be the first to speak out and ruin the atmosphere.
Thus, a somewhat eerie scene briefly unfolded in the living room. Silence reigned as Su Yu and Jing Limo exchanged affectionate gazes, while Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan exchanged glances. Although unsure whether Luo Jingxuan could understand her eye contact, Li Xi still managed to communicate with him through her gaze.
Li Xi: I feel like we are a bit redundant.
Luo Jingxuan tilted his head: What?
Li Xi: I lost my uncle and my best friend at the same time. But I also gained my aunt and my best friend's boyfriend. Do you think I gained or lost?
Luo Jingxuan: I don’t understand.
Li Xi: Ah, I still have meat stewing in the pot! What should I do? Should I sneak over and take a look?
Luo Jingxuan: What’s the rush?
Li Xi: Ah!! Don’t let the meat get burnt.
Luo Jingxuan: ...
Li Xi sang a monologue for a while, and finally remembered that Aunt Lin was watching in the kitchen the whole time, so the food wouldn't burn. So it was okay, so she continued to eat melons on the spot. It was love at first sight, or something like that, but it was the first time she had seen it.
However, Li Xi didn't eat the melon for long, because Jing Limo couldn't stand Su Yu's gaze and looked away first.
"Um, can you please introduce Xiaoxi?"
"Oh, let me introduce you." Li Xi immediately responded, patting Su Yu on the shoulder. "This is my friend Su Yu. She's 20 years old and still studying software engineering. She's currently being trained by Mr. Lu as his successor. She might take over some of the Lu family's businesses in the future."
Li Xi said as she pulled Su Yu towards Luo Jingxuan and Jing Limo, pointing at Jing Limo as she walked, "This is my uncle Jing Limo, the current head of the Jing family. He's 32 years old, has no romantic history, and has a 5-year-old son who was adopted from the disaster area."
"Hello, Mr. Jing, I'm Su Yu." By the time Li Xi introduced them, the two had already walked to the sofa, less than a meter away from Jing Limo. So Su Yu directly extended her hand.
"Hello, Miss Su. I'm Jing Limo." Jing Limo said as he shook hands. Whether out of courtesy or the awkwardness of falling in love, Jing Limo only held Su Yu's fingertips and quickly pulled away.
Being a matchmaker for the first time, Li Xi didn't know what to do to bridge the gap between them. Furthermore, she and Jing Limo weren't that familiar with each other, so she couldn't chat with him freely, let alone help him find topics to talk about with Su Yu.
Just when Li Xi was struggling to decide whether she should find a topic to talk about or Su Yu and Jing Limo should find one themselves, Aunt Lin appeared - the last dish was successfully cooked under Aunt Lin's care and it was time to eat.
So, Li Xi put aside everything she had just been worrying about and called a group of people to go to the restaurant to prepare for dinner.
They say there's nothing a meal can't solve, and if that doesn't work, then two meals will do. While eating, Su Yu and Jing Limo unknowingly started chatting about a wide range of topics, from tonight's dishes to favorite dishes, from Li Xi to their work, to the market, the economy, and the potential of the industry.
At first, Li Xi was able to join in their conversation, but later on, she couldn't get a word in. It wasn't that Li Xi couldn't understand what they were saying, but simply because the two of them were chatting so enthusiastically that they didn't give Li Xi a chance to interrupt.
Li Xi: “…” That’s good too.
Li·Married but never in a relationship·Xi: I don’t envy anyone, I really don’t envy anyone at all.
Thinking of this, Li Xi rolled her eyes at Luo Jingxuan, who was standing beside her. This look left Luo Jingxuan perplexed. Luo Jingxuan said that no one had ever looked at him like that before, and it was quite novel.
So, for the first time in his life, Boss Luo approached Li Xi and started chatting with her in front of everyone else, "What's wrong?"
Li Xi was startled by his approach. Since they were sitting at the dining table and there were two people flirting across from them, Li Xi couldn't help but give Luo Jingxuan a big slap when he suddenly came over. She answered in a low voice, but her tone was not pleasant, "No, I was just lamenting that I couldn't interrupt their conversation."
"The fact that they can get along well means they have a good impression of each other. Isn't that what you want?" Luo Jingxuan didn't realize that Li Xi was envious and jealous. He just thought that she was being ignored by her uncle and best friend and felt a little lonely.
"I agree. I just sighed. Haha." It's not Li Xi's fault for being sarcastic. It's just that Luo Jingxuan is too good at reading the atmosphere, or Luo Jingxuan is too insensitive to girls' emotions.
Originally, Li Xi was just a little envious of the sparks of love that had ignited between the two. The atmosphere between them couldn't accommodate a third person. She sighed twice and then let it go. After all, she didn't have much yearning for love.
But Luo Jingxuan intervened, not only forming a sharp contrast with the considerate and humorous Jing Limo opposite, but also interrupting Li Xi's envy and misinterpreting the meaning of her words, which was very infuriating.
There is no harm without comparison!
Li Xi was speechless and envious. She also wanted a sweet love, not a cold face all day long, and then told herself that I have a villain boss husband whose emotions fluctuate and expressions change.
Woo woo woo, when will it be my turn to have a sweet love?
Ying~
