Chapter 154 Extra Chapter: Lin Yue (4)
She felt even more confused.
Disney?
Wasn't that last year?
Holy crap.
The timeline is this early?!
Song Shiyi held her hand and continued to reveal more: "On the day we went to see your idol, Xie Lin specially made you dress up so as to give you a surprise and make a good impression on your idol."
Si Yue was taken aback.
Xie Lin... is he really such a thoughtful person?
As soon as this thought arose, a voice in my heart affirmed:
Yes, he is such a thoughtful person.
She may seem cold and unapproachable, but she is actually gentle and sensitive.
When we're out together, I take care of her feelings and mood, and I ask her if she's tired or happy.
When eating, the dishes she wants are always in front of her, and she never has to pick up any shelled food herself. Even if she gets too spicy, a water glass will always be handed to her immediately.
Also, there was the time I was at Disneyland.
He endured his discomfort and played the games she liked with her. Even when he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, he didn't say anything but silently endured it.
Thinking about it this way, Xie Lin seems... to really treat her differently?
Moreover, after spending time with Xie Lin, she felt that he was a very good person.
They're quick to catch jokes and have a sharp tongue, so you don't have to worry about losing an argument.
The main point is that the two people's conditions are very similar.
Xie Lin likes her.
And what about her?
Does she like Xie Lin?
Si Yue thought about it for a long time.
A conclusion can be drawn.
She seems to have turned into a frog.
Xie Lin is like the water used to boil a frog.
He succeeded.
——
A semester passed quickly, and the contract between Si Yue and Xie Lin ended.
In other words, she no longer needs to spend every day with Xie Lin.
However, having gotten used to spending time with him, I suddenly felt a little uneasy without someone to bicker with.
Xie Lin was busy as graduation approached, and the two had much less time to see each other.
Si Yue, who studied law, found memorizing those laws and regulations incredibly difficult and didn't have time to visit him.
The two chatted briefly and said goodnight to each other.
Their interactions were the same as before, but Si Yue felt that something seemed off.
When I used to spend every day with Xie Lin, I found him annoying.
Now that I can't see him anymore, I feel a little uneasy.
In particular, she had heard some rumors.
One day, after her major class, Si Yue packed her things and prepared to go have dinner with Song Shiyi.
Suddenly, a classmate next to her curiously leaned over and asked, "Si Yue, can I ask you something? Are you and Xie Lin dating?"
Si Yue paused, her tone flat, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Another girl who had once pursued Xie Lin unsuccessfully scoffed at this. She glanced at the two of them, twirled the end of her hair with her hand, and spoke with an arrogant tone tinged with disdain.
"Boyfriend and girlfriend? You're overthinking it. How could someone like Xie Lin possibly be interested in her?"
Si Yue frowned, slowly raised her eyes, and looked up, her voice somewhat cold.
"Lu Ying."
Are you jealous of me?
The student who asked the question earlier disagreed, saying, "That's right, Lu Ying. You can't win Xie Lin's heart yourself, so there's no need to talk about others like that."
Lu Ying's face darkened as she was touched on a sore spot, her eyes narrowed and her gaze darkened.
Yes, she was jealous of Si Yue.
Why is it that she can catch Xie Lin's eye, but I can't?
Clearly, Si Yue is inferior to her in every way except for her face.
Why is Xie Lin so gentle and affectionate towards her, but cold and indifferent towards himself?
She pursued Xie Lin for three months, but was rejected every time.
She really didn't understand. They were a perfect match, and they seemed like a good fit for each other.
Si Yue comes from an ordinary family, at best considered moderately well-off.
Most importantly, he's from out of town.
With Xie Lin's family background, how could he allow his heir to marry a woman who would be of no help to his career?
Lu Ying chuckled coldly, then suddenly seemed to remember something, a hint of amusement slowly creeping into her eyes.
"Si Yue, I advise you not to be too happy. You don't know the answer yet, do you?"
Si Yue frowned: "What?"
Lu Ying walked up to her, then slowly leaned down to her ear and chuckled softly, "Do you know why Xie Lin hasn't had time to spend with you lately?"
Si Yue didn't move, looking down at the ground, her fingers slowly tightening around the textbook, her lips pursed in silence.
A gloating voice rang in her ears.
"Because he has been spending these past few days with his fiancée."
Si Yue's eyelids twitched, and she turned to look at her, her tone flat and emotionless.
"fiancée?"
Lu Ying feigned surprise and covered her mouth. "What? Didn't he tell you?"
Si Yue stared at her without saying a word.
"He's going to have a marriage alliance with the Meng family."
"Hmm... I heard you've already bought the rings."
Si Yue didn't believe it immediately, after all, Lu Ying and she didn't get along, and maybe Lu Ying was deliberately trying to sow discord between her and Xie Lin.
Seeing her expression, Lu Ying smiled slightly, took out her phone, swiped it lightly with her fingertips, and then turned it upside down in front of her.
Si Yue looked over slowly, her lips slightly pursed.
That was a photograph.
The background of the photo is a French restaurant, and the two people in the center of the picture have such clear profiles that they are almost blinding.
Xie Lin was wearing a dark gray suit, the buttons on his cuffs gleaming softly. He tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on the woman's hand beside him, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
That woman must be the Meng family's daughter; she was wearing a champagne-colored dress, her long hair was styled up, revealing her slender, fair wrists.
What made Si Yue's breath catch in her throat was the ring on Meng Wanning's ring finger.
A pigeon blood ruby ring. The gemstone is quite large and reflects a deep red under the light, like a drop of congealed blood.
The photo was taken at an excellent angle, clearly showing Xie Lin's fingertip seemingly gently resting on the ring, a gesture of intimacy that was far from ordinary business interaction.
——
At night, at the bar.
"Yueyue! Yueyue!"
"Stop drinking!"
"Your head will probably hurt tomorrow."
Bustling and noisy, brightly lit and vibrant.
The loud music and cheers of the surrounding crowd stimulated Song Shiyi's brain and nerves.
She didn't quite adapt to this environment.
If it weren't for accompanying Si Yue, she probably wouldn't have stepped inside at all.
Si Yue was nestled on the sofa, surrounded by a pile of wine bottles in front of her, and she was holding one in her hand, chugging it down her throat.
Song Shiyi tried to persuade him, but to no avail.
Si Yue drinks alcohol like it's water, without saying a word, cool and aloof.
Song Shiyi had no idea what had happened. Si Yue called her, saying she was in a bad mood and asked her to vent with her.
When we arrived, we realized it was a bar.
She looked at the girl, whose face was flushed, with concern: "What happened? Did you and Xie Lin have a fight?"
When the name was mentioned, Si Yue finally reacted.
She blinked, pouted, and tears fell.
Song Shiyi was completely dumbfounded.
Aside from that time when she was wronged because of Song Wei, she had never seen Si Yue shed a tear.
