Chen Xiaoxi's hand holding the knife and fork paused abruptly, but she quickly regained her composure and elegance.
She then looked up, a nonchalant smile playing on her lips: "Oh, I'm just chatting with my colleagues at the clinic!"
As he spoke,
She put the cut steak into her mouth, her words muffled and tinged with a hint of probing, her gaze glancing almost imperceptibly at Lin Yinuo across from her. "You've been staring at your phone the whole time, were you secretly texting someone? We made a deal, you can't be a traitor."
As if her secret had been exposed, Lin Yinuo straightened her back abruptly, her almond-shaped eyes widening, and said with a hint of reproach, "Cousin, what are you saying! Do I, Lin Yinuo, look like the kind of person who would betray their word? We must stand together and let him wait for ten or eight days!"
As they spoke, they exchanged a smile, but each harbored their own hidden thoughts.
Simply put, they all have their own ulterior motives!
The air seemed to be filled with a subtle smell of gunpowder.
"cousin!"
"Ino!"
Almost simultaneously, the two blurted out.
The moment the words left their mouths, the two of them paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Chen Xiaoxi spoke first, looking at Lin Yinuo with a meaningful gaze: "You go first."
Lin Yinuo unconsciously intertwined her hands, her gaze fixed on Chen Xiaoxi's eyes, her tone tentative and cautious: "Um... cousin, have you been with Brother Qingzhou...?"
At this point, she suddenly clapped her hands twice, the crisp sound particularly abrupt in the quiet restaurant.
Chen Xiaoxi frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt, and subconsciously clapped twice. "What does this mean?"
Lin Yinuo coughed lightly, a blush rising to her cheeks, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "It's just... going to bed."
These straightforward words made Chen Xiaoxi's heart tremble, and an indescribable emotion surged within her.
Strangely enough, she had just been thinking of asking the same question.
Lin Yinuo's unconventional way of expressing herself—using a simulated voice—left her momentarily stunned.
The two locked eyes, and the temperature in the air seemed to rise instantly.
Chen Xiaoxi looked at her, her eyes narrowing slightly, but her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible tension: "You... slept with him?"
Lin Yinuo caught a glimpse of cunning in Chen Xiaoxi's eyes, and alarm bells immediately went off in her mind.
She forced herself to remain calm, straightened her back, and said firmly, "Of course, it feels pretty good!"
She spoke with absolute confidence, in the tone of a driver.
But her subconsciously evasive gaze had already betrayed her.
Well, what a little liar!
Chen Xiaoxi's lips curled into a meaningful smile as she pressed on, "Really? When?"
Lin Yinuo panicked, her mind racing, but she feigned anger: "Why are you asking such a private question? It's so annoying! Anyway, it's happened so many times, how could I remember them all! Oh, the most recent one was last week."
Chen Xiaoxi rolled her eyes inwardly, but maintained an elegant smile on her face.
How could such a clumsy lie escape the eyes of a medical student like her?
After answering the question, Lin Yinuo immediately switched to offense, her eyes turning serious: "Then you and him...?"
"Of course, I slept with it back in high school."
Chen Xiaoxi picked up her juice and took a sip. Without looking up, she dropped this colossal lie, her tone as calm as if she were recounting something completely ordinary.
"puff--"
Lin Yinuo almost spat out her juice. She hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe it off, but was still coughing violently.
It took her a while to catch her breath, then she exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide: "You're kidding me!"
Chen Xiaoxi shrugged, looking nonchalant, and readily admitted, "Hehe, aren't you just bragging too?"
Lin Yinuo was a little embarrassed, not expecting to be exposed so quickly.
She coughed lightly again to cover her embarrassment, "How did you know I was lying?"
Chen Xiaoxi slowly and methodically cut the steak.
He elegantly put it into his mouth, then looked up at her.
With a knowing smile in his eyes: "First, your eyes looked flustered when you spoke just now;
Second, don't forget that I'm a medical student;
Third, I know everything about Lu Qingzhou's itinerary last week.
So...hehehe...you're just a little liar!
Lin Yinuo gave an awkward smile.
At this point, the atmosphere became even more bizarre.
After the brief conversation just now,
The two of them had done a little probing!
They are testing each other!
Putting aside other thoughts,
The two regained the excitement they had when they first met and started talking about their experiences with Lu Qingzhou.
When Lin Yinuo heard Chen Xiaoxi say that she and Lu Qingzhou were high school classmates, she opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Ah, you knew Brother Qingzhou when you were in high school?"
Tell me about it! You guys must have had lots of fun times in high school, right?
Looking at Lin Yinuo's joyful expression, Chen Xiaoxi's lips curled into a faint, wistful smile: "Yes, back then, Lu Qingzhou..."
She paused, her thoughts seemingly transported back to the noisy summer days, "He always liked to hide my textbooks and draw funny faces on my homework."
But every time I was criticized by the teacher, he was the first to stand up for me.
Before she could finish speaking, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart, and she quickly stopped herself from saying, "Later, my father found out about our close relationship and forcibly separated us."
No, it should be said that they broke her up, because Lu Qingzhou was like a block of wood at that time.
