Chapter 8 My boyfriend's looks are none of your business.
The truth has come out.
It turns out that Xin Mian did not take any photos secretly.
There isn't a single photo in my phone's album that I just took.
With the police present, the result is even more convincing.
The girl in the couple felt extremely embarrassed, saying, "I already told you it was a misunderstanding."
"Who knows..." the boy stubbornly insisted, "She was so guilty at the time."
The moment the police officer saw the photos in the album, he subconsciously looked up at Xin Mian again, his gaze lingering for a few seconds before shifting away.
"Alright, it's been proven that the girl didn't take any photos secretly. You should apologize to her right now."
The boy knew he was in the wrong, but because of his pride, he refused to apologize and kept changing the subject.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
"I was a little anxious just now, because if it really was a secret filming, that would be a big deal."
"Besides, you were the one who turned on the camera just now; any normal person would misunderstand..."
Xin Mian was shocked by his shamelessness and couldn't say a word. Her eyes reddened even more.
The police officer glanced at her, shoved the boy on the back of the shoulder, and said in an authoritative voice, "Apologize right now!"
In recent years, Wangshui Island has developed its tourism industry. With the increase in the number of people visiting the island, Officer Wang, as a police officer at the local police station, often encounters similar disputes.
The primary approach is mediation, with criticism and education serving as a secondary measure.
The boy dared not mutter anymore, but perhaps feeling that apologizing to others in front of his girlfriend would damage his image, he stubbornly refused to open his mouth.
She just laughed it off and said, "...Well, your boyfriend is quite handsome."
Xinmian was furious, but she tried to tell herself to stay calm when dealing with such a scoundrel.
The phone was in her hand, the screen was turned off, and Chi Yu's handsome face flashed by.
The boy tried to slip away, saying, "We have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."
Without a second thought, Xin Mian grabbed his sleeve, her eyes red and swollen, and said fiercely, "What business is it of yours whether my boyfriend is handsome or not!"
You must apologize to me!
He spoke these two sentences in a very low voice, deliberately trying to make his voice sound fierce.
"Apologize!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold, deep male voice came from the lawn behind him.
"Officer Wang."
Many of the onlookers dispersed, but some remained to continue watching the spectacle.
Upon hearing this sound, everyone turned their heads.
Under the palm trees, a man dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans stood with slightly cold, dark eyes. The old scar on his left eyebrow was swept away by the sunlight, making it appear even more sharp.
Officer Wang paused for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Chi Yu?"
Chi Yu walked over unhurriedly, one hand in his pocket, his gaze fixed on Xin Mian.
The girl was still dressed the same as when he saw her that morning, carrying an adorable backpack, wearing a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans, with the ends of her high ponytail brushing against the back of her fair neck. She was looking down and not glancing up at him.
I don't know if she didn't notice his arrival or if she was pretending not to know him.
Chi Yu stopped beside her, bowed slightly, and said in a voice only they could hear, "Boyfriend?"
His voice was slow and deliberate, yet full of roguish charm.
Xinmian lowered her head even further.
Pretending not to know failed.
A wave of shame washed over her, and she belatedly realized that by not refuting the boy's words, she had essentially admitted that the person in the photo album was her boyfriend.
"...I'm sorry, I didn't..." she apologized softly.
Having only been on Wangshui Island for a few days, she had already embarrassed herself in front of him time and time again, and trouble was constantly arising.
Now, she's inexplicably mistaking him for her boyfriend.
Xinmian was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig out a castle and bury herself in it.
Before he could finish speaking, Chi Yu straightened up, his cold gaze falling on the boy. "Apologize."
He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with striking features that were hard to ignore. His face was sculpted and sharp, and when he looked down at others, the old scar on his brow was particularly noticeable.
He exudes an innate coldness, roguishness, and domineering presence.
The boy felt a chill run down his spine under his gaze, and said, "...I'll apologize then."
Reluctantly, but under the pressure of Chi Yu and Wang's warning, he could only say, "I'm sorry."
"I was too hasty and said something careless just now. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
After saying this, he didn't wait for anyone else to react before pulling his girlfriend and turning to leave.
Caught off guard, the girl was pulled away angrily, saying, "It's so embarrassing to come out with you."
If the two were just having a minor, amusing argument while queuing, they've clearly escalated into a major argument now.
Once they were out of sight, Officer Wang turned around, his gaze shifting back and forth between Xin Mian and Chi Yu, a mocking glint in his eyes.
"You brat, are these your men?"
Six simple words made Chi Yu's eyes pause slightly.
However, after only a second of hesitation, he nodded in agreement, "Okay."
If you live in his house, doesn't he have to take full responsibility for you?
Officer Wang laughed heartily, "Your grandma will be overjoyed."
Chi Yu recalled Chen Xiulian's good mood these past two days since Xin Mian rented the room on the third floor, and nodded, "She is indeed quite happy."
The two of them spoke back and forth, seemingly matching each other, but in reality they were talking about completely different things.
Officer Wang still needed to patrol, and seeing that the matter was resolved, he did not stay there for too long.
Xin Mian, who was pulled aside by Qin Shengtian, did not hear their conversation.
After Officer Wang left, Qin Shengtian jumped out from behind her and called out, "Brother Yu!"
Xinmian: ? ? ?
"...You two know each other?"
That's why they know each other; that's why Qin Shengtian immediately tipped off Chi Yu after seeing the photo.
Qin Shengtian chuckled twice and called out to her in a very familiar manner, "Mianmian, I'm sorry."
"When you showed Officer Wang your phone's photo album just now, I accidentally saw it too."
The photos of Chen Xiulian and Pang Ju in the album were taken by Chi Yu himself.
The remaining group photos and individual photos of Chi Yu were mostly taken by Qin Shengtian and Liu Xiaopang.
After taking the photos, the two posted them in a group chat. Seeing that Chi Yu was unmoved by their "beauty," they secretly saved them using Chi Yu's phone.
Chi Yu doesn't open the photo album often, and has almost forgotten that these things are still in it.
When I swapped phones with Xinmian, I didn't even think about deleting anything.
Speaking of cell phones... Xin Mian looked at him somewhat embarrassed.
"Your phone was accidentally dropped on the grass just now. I took a quick look and it seems to be fine."
"But...why don't you want to check it yourself?"
Feeling guilty, she spoke in an even softer tone than usual. Chi Yu felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his dark eyes swept over her.
They didn't care whether the phone was good or bad.
His gaze met her sincere eyes.
Her eyes were still red from being upset by the boy earlier.
Her eyes rippled with water, clear and direct, almost melting into his gaze.
Before she even realized anything.
Chi Yu didn't answer the phone, but coughed lightly and said coldly, "If it breaks, then we're even."
After saying this, he turned to leave.
Qin Shengtian immediately stopped him, "Brother Yu, wait a minute."
"Mianmian and I will go to your shop for a while after we buy bread and cakes."
Chi Yu frowned slightly, but before he could say anything, Qin Shengtian added, "If you won't let me go to the internet cafe, then I'll go to the car dealership next door."
After saying that, she pulled Xinmian and ran into the cake shop, "Come on, Mianmian, let's hurry up and buy it and leave."
After that commotion, the people in line had already bought everything and the queue had dispersed.
Xin Mian was pulled directly into the store by Qin Shengtian. Both of them had done their homework beforehand, so they quickly picked out bread, asked the shop assistant to cut it into small pieces, and then came out carrying the packaging bags.
But Chi Yu was nowhere to be seen on the grass.
Xin Mian was afraid that Qin Shengtian would be disappointed and was about to comfort her when she heard a loud horn sound from the parking space by the driveway.
Qin Sheng smiled and led her over there, "Come on, that's Brother Yu's car."
The black SUV has a high chassis and a large body.
Chi Yu sat in the driver's seat, one hand on the steering wheel, his eyelids slightly raised, his gaze indifferent as he looked at them.
The meaning is clear: hurry up and come over.
Xin Mian subconsciously lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze, and walked away with focused attention.
The distance between the cake shop and Chi Yu's internet cafe is several kilometers, not too far, not too close. In the sweltering summer, having a car would definitely be much more convenient.
The internet cafe is located on a wide street, with an industrial-style exterior and a sign at the top that prominently displays the words "Late".
"The internet cafe is called Late?" Xin Mian asked curiously.
“Yeah,” Qin Shengtian shrugged. “Yu-ge chose the name himself. Anyway, I don’t understand why he chose such a name.”
After saying that, she carried the bread to the modified car shop next door and called out, "Yang Chengjing! Come here quickly!"
Then, he took Xinmian's hand and entered the late-night school.
Xin Mian has always been a well-behaved child in the eyes of her teachers since she was a child. She has almost never been to an internet cafe, and her impression of internet cafes is limited to the scenes depicted in TV dramas.
The lighting was poor, the sofa was old, the computer screen flickered with fluorescent light, and the whole place smelled of used instant noodle containers that hadn't been thrown away.
However, none of the scenes she imagined actually happened.
The interior decor is consistent with the exterior, featuring a minimalist industrial style. The space is spacious, the aisles are clean, and there are no sounds of men cursing while playing games or any unpleasant smells.
The young man sitting at the front desk was named Li Ke. He looked very young, like a junior high school student working a summer job. When he saw Qin Shengtian, he grinned and greeted her.
I casually asked, "Sister Tian Tian, who is this lady?"
Without hesitation, Qin Shengtian answered, "She's your brother Yu's girlfriend..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something, turned around and stared at Xin Mian, and asked in a low voice, "Oh right, Mianmian, how did you and Brother Yu meet?"
In front of the cake shop, although she initially thought the two were a couple, when Chi Yu arrived and she saw how the two were interacting, she knew they weren't dating.
Xin Mian looked slightly embarrassed and explained, "I rented a room on the third floor of Chi Yu's house. I'm his tenant now."
Qin Shengtian was taken aback, "You rented the room on the third floor of Yu-ge's house?"
It's been two or three years since the house was renovated, and Grandma Chen has been trying to rent out that room, but Chi Yu has refused for various reasons.
Unexpectedly...
"It's unbelievable that such a fair-skinned and slender girl like you got to rent it."
Xinmian was completely stunned, her mind suddenly racing.
She swallowed hard. "...What? Do I have to be dark-skinned and strong to rent a room at Chi Yu's house?"
