Chen Xiaoxi's lips curved into a bright smile, and the joy in her eyes almost overflowed from the corners of her eyes and brows.
She affectionately linked arms with Lu Qingzhou, her voice brimming with undisguised joy: "Cousin Yinuo, look! This is my boyfriend, Lu Qingzhou. Isn't he incredibly handsome? Qingzhou, this is my cousin, Lin Yinuo. She's a gentle and talented teacher."
Lin Yinuo felt a deafening roar in her ears, as if countless bees were swirling around her frantically.
She instinctively shook her head, trying to dispel the absurd scene before her.
I kept reassuring myself: It's an illusion, it must be an illusion, I'm seeing things, how could it be? How could the man next to my cousin be my Qingzhou brother?
She raised her head again, her gaze fixed intently on the man beside Chen Xiaoxi. Instantly, a chilling sense of astonishment surged from the depths of her heart, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
He murmured sadly in his heart: Oh... Amitabha! My goodness, it really is my Qingzhou brother!
Lu Qingzhou looked uneasy and avoided eye contact with Lin Yinuo. He exuded an awkward aura, as if he were being roasted over a fire.
Lin Yinuo's face was contorted with rage, and her voice trembled uncontrollably. She stared straight at Chen Xiaoxi and asked with difficulty, "Cousin, you just said... he's your boyfriend?"
Chen Xiaoxi's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were filled with affection, and she was completely immersed in the sweetness of love.
They were completely oblivious to the fact that there was something wrong with Lin Yinuo's shocked and pained expression.
She thought her cousin was stunned by Lu Qingzhou's handsomeness, and said with a smile, "Yes, we're dating! By the way, didn't you say you came with your boyfriend? Where is he? I can't see him."
As she spoke, she looked around curiously.
Lin Yinuo sipped her milk tea a few times, then slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration from her chest, a bitter and sarcastic smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
She first gave Lu Qingzhou a deep look, her eyes filled with helplessness and confusion.
More than anything, he felt an indescribable tension. Then he turned his gaze to Chen Xiaoxi, his voice filled with deep sorrow: "Sigh, Xiaoxi, do you think there's any possibility... that the handsome guy you're holding hands with is my boyfriend?"
Chen Xiaoxi was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing, her eyes full of doting affection. She thought Lin Yinuo was joking: "Cousin Yinuo, you're still as mischievous as ever."
After saying that, he gently pushed Lin Yinuo.
Lin Yinuo swayed, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and felt a surge of bitterness and grievance welling up inside her, almost to the point of tears.
I'm not kidding you! I so wish this was just a nightmare, but reality is so cruel, this... this is no joke at all!
Looking at Lin Yinuo's hurt and shocked expression, Lu Qingzhou felt ashamed and embarrassed.
He subconsciously scratched his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and escape this suffocating scene.
Lin Yinuo's lips twitched, her heart filled with helplessness.
She took a deep breath, her voice firm yet trembling slightly: "Cousin, I really wasn't joking with you."
Chen Xiaoxi looked at Lin Yinuo's serious, almost collapsing expression.
He glanced at Lu Qingzhou's tense and stiff body again, and a sudden feeling of panic and absurdity welled up in his heart.
Her gaze darted back and forth between the two of them, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"You...you're telling the truth!"
