"Chenchen, do you mean she's pursuing you now?" Wang Li asked after listening to Xu Chen's 'report'.
Xu Chen nodded, then said with difficulty, "Because she is Weimin's sister, I can't refuse her directly, lest it hurt the harmony between brothers." Back in the sect, whenever Xu Chen needed help, his fellow disciples would always help him. Perhaps it was because he was the sect leader's personal disciple, but Xu Chen still felt the kindness shown to him and remembered it in his heart.
"So, you confessed to me?"
"Yes, I think, Lili, you are a girl, so if you step forward, at least Weimin and his sister won't feel embarrassed."
"I've met Zhong Yi before, right? She's a third-year student, isn't she? She's very pretty. Are you really willing to give her up?" Wang Li smiled slyly, looking at Xu Chen and asking the probing question.
Xu Chen turned his head away awkwardly, "Uh, um."
Seeing Xu Chen's awkward reply, Wang Li smiled and said, "Okay, leave this to me."
Then, as if she had made up her mind, Wang Li put down her pen, hugged Xu Chen tightly, and whispered in his ear, "Chenchen, for... for rewarding you for being so honest, I will fully cooperate with you tonight." Xu Chen patted his girlfriend's butt, thought to himself that she was a vixen, and led Wang Li into the bedroom.
Strangely, Wang Li didn't go to see Zhong Yi. She seemed to have forgotten about this threat and continued her normal studies, life, and going to and from school with Xu Chen as usual. This led Xu Chen to mistakenly believe that Wang Li had already talked to Zhong Yi.
"Ah... Weimin... your cousin." It was time for Xu Chen and Zhao Weimin to discuss the script. In the evening, he arrived at the agreed restaurant and entered the private room. Zhong Yi was still there, which puzzled Xu Chen. Didn't Lili talk to her? This gave him a huge headache.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen?"
"Oh, no, it's nothing." Xu Chen shook his head.
"Weimin, let's discuss the male and female leads again and hire a few students from Peking University."
Zhao Weimin paused, holding his pen, then turned to secretly observe his cousin's expression. Anger, helplessness, and sadness filled her fair and flawless face. She was desperately trying to hold back her emotions so as not to anger Xu Chen.
Although Zhong Yi is kind-hearted, it doesn't mean she doesn't have a spoiled princess attitude. Having been pampered like a precious gem since childhood, how could this man avoid her like the plague? If it were any other man, she would have simply thrown the wine and left, but at this moment, she was enduring it with great difficulty.
"Brother Chen, come here for a moment." Zhao Weimin pulled Xu Chen aside and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Chen, if you have any difficulties, tell Brother Wei, just don't quit the show."
"Brother Wei, I understand what your cousin is thinking."
"You know? How did you know? Did I tell you?" Zhao Weimin was stunned. He didn't remember telling you.
"I'm not stupid, Viagra, let's stop this farce right now."
Seeing Xu Chen's helplessness, Zhao Weimin sighed and patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, "It's my fault, brother, for playing matchmaker for you." Just as he was about to listen to Xu Chen's opinion, Zhong Yi appeared from behind.
"Xu Chen, I don't understand why you are so resistant to me and avoid me like the plague."
"Senior, ah, I, I already have a girlfriend, I can't let her down." Xu Chen was answering Zhong Yi's question when she suddenly hugged him.
"I won't affect your relationship with her, trust me."
Feeling the warmth in his arms and listening to the beauty's soft confession, it would be a lie to say that Xu Chen felt nothing. At this moment, Xu Chen was torn between two conflicting emotions. To accept? To give up? Aside from his identity as a cultivator, he was just an ordinary man, with the same emotions and desires as any ordinary man. Should he really reject her?
After thinking for a long time, Xu Chen placed his hands on Zhong Yi's shoulders. "Senior, calm down." His eyes were unfocused, and his voice was dry, making Zhong Yi pause in surprise. "You succeeded in seducing him? Is it that simple? Men really are all animals who think with their lower bodies." "Weimin, don't leave! Otherwise, I don't know how to refuse him." "Zhong Yi, have you thought this through? You're playing with fire." She stood there, her mind racing with all sorts of wild thoughts. Then, Xu Chen indeed said the very thing she had feared most.
"Weimin, you should go first." His words left Zhao Weimin somewhat bewildered. Zhong Yi wanted her brother to leave quickly, but at the same time, she also wanted him to stay. Seeing his cousin's conflicted expression and Xu Chen's sincere advice, Zhao Weimin picked up the script and quickly left, giving the two of them some space alone.
Watching her cousin leave, Zhong Yi felt extremely uneasy, waiting for Xu Chen's next move. But Xu Chen seemed to freeze in place. Curious, she went forward to check on him, and suddenly everything went black; she collapsed to the ground.
"I'm sorry," Xu Chen said softly. Then, following the same old routine, he lit a cigarette and puffed out smoke while looking at the sleeping girl. When did his self-control become so weak? Why did he have to let Lili talk to her? Why didn't he do it from the beginning? "Is it lingering affection? Or reluctance to leave? I've changed so much since I came here," he murmured to himself, looking out the window at the sky.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Xu Chen discovered that Zhao Weimin had already left, so he also left the private room. As for Zhong Yi, he had been keeping his divine sense on her until he saw that she had safely returned home, at which point he released his divine sense.
"Yiyi, how did your meeting with Xu Chen go today?" Zhao Wuyan asked as soon as Zhong Yi returned home.
"Xu Chen? Who?"
"The boy you like?"
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. I don't like any boys."
"Yiyi, what's wrong?" Zhao Wuyan panicked. Her daughter's condition was a bit unexpected. Was she just pretending to be calm? She took out Xu Chen's photo from the study and showed it to Zhong Yi.
"Yiyi, you've forgotten? It's him, the boy you like. You've kept this photo for a long time."
"He really is handsome, Mom. You're not just saying that to get me married off sooner, are you?"
Zhao Wuyan was completely bewildered. To be on the safe side, she took her daughter to the hospital, hoping to seek professional help. After a night of turmoil, the doctor could only give her one answer: "She's overly grieving and deliberately avoiding talking about the people and events related to her. Family members should provide her with ample support."
"It seems you and Xu Chen are truly destined to be apart." Looking at her daughter, who was 'pretending' to be happy, Zhao Wuyan sighed. It was impossible for her not to resent Xu Chen. When she came back that day, she cursed Xu Chen in her heart for being ungrateful, even though Xu Chen had not met Zhong Yi at that time.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just spend some time with Yiyi."
