If Mu Yingying hadn't been brought along, could he have taken the opportunity to build a good relationship with Qing Ning and rekindle their childhood friendship, thus giving her a chance to become his girlfriend?
However, because he brought a female companion, all of this came to naught.
If things had ended there, Li Junyang could still accept it. After all, it was only their first meeting. At worst, he could wait until he had his cake and eat it, and after he was dumped by Mu Yingying, he could still go after Qing Ning.
As a modern person, what's so strange about having an ex-girlfriend?
But Li Junyang never expected that the damned Xia Che would also appear here.
Xia Che had been hiding in Weiyang for a while, and Li Junyang had almost forgotten about this blond-haired guy. He never expected that the other party would actually give him a big surprise.
What makes Xia Che so special?
What kind of family background does he have that would allow him to know Qingning?
Didn't we agree that Qingning would only invite her childhood playmates?
The fact that people can get along well proves that they are all from the same social class. The saying that rich people's friends are all rich people is absolutely true.
So……
Who is Xia Che anyway?!
How did he even get to be here?!
Isn't this kid just a poor loser?
Dead blondie...
Why does it always haunt me?!
"These two even seem to be so close, and that damn hand... it was Qing Ning who reached out first. Damn it... they're so cold to me, but so enthusiastic to Huang Mao?"
Li Junyang let out a deep breath, but the anger in his heart not only did not disappear, but intensified. "If I came here on my own, then... does that mean that the person who can hold Qing Ning's arm right now is me? That must be it, right? Since she values childhood friendship so much, it proves that I have the same opportunity!"
For a moment, Li Junyang's heart became somewhat twisted due to jealousy.
Li Junyang glanced coldly at Mu Yingying, who stood beside him, looking somewhat absent-minded, and his disgust deepened.
It's all that damned woman's fault!
Even if it's true that I invited her to come first, couldn't she have refused?
Why did you have to shamelessly follow me here?
If it weren't for her, the person standing next to Qing Ning right now would probably be herself!
Whenever he thought of this, Li Junyang felt an excruciating pain in his heart, as if a venomous snake called jealousy was tearing at his soul, driving him almost to madness.
Why?
Why is it that Xia Che, that blond-haired bastard, always one step ahead of me?
He had been pursuing Shen Yanxin for years and she liked him. Chu Yuying, a junior who had some feelings for him, was willing to have rumors with him. Even Jiang Yu, the white moonlight he met when he was handling the demolition of the urban village, was rumored to be following the same route home from school as Xia Che, suggesting that the two might have a special relationship.
And now there are limes...
Which of these four women isn't an absolute beauty?
Why is it that Xia Che always gets the better deal?
In what way is this kid better than me?
Li Junyang was going crazy. He never expected that his deep-seated composure, cultivated over many years, would crumble like this after just one meeting with Xia Che.
Before meeting Xia Che, Li Junyang had always had a smooth life, never encountered any setbacks, and no one could possibly cause him any trouble. But all of this changed after Xia Che appeared.
Li Junyang couldn't figure out the reason, but there was only one thing that made him understand...
"If I don't kill this kid, he could become a lifelong psychological trauma for me. It's time to put an end to this..."
Li Junyang let out a deep breath, his eyes flashing, then turned and walked towards the door, saying casually as he left, "I'm going to make a phone call."
"Do you want me to come with you...?"
The distraught Mu Yingying suddenly snapped out of her daze and turned to follow.
"Need not!"
Unexpectedly, her boyfriend, who was the epitome of gentleness in her heart, resolutely and decisively rejected her. Before coming here, he had been completely obedient to her, but now he had become a different person.
Mu Yingying was startled and obediently stopped in her tracks. She could only watch Li Junyang walk into the corridor, turn the corner, and disappear from sight.
She stood there, stunned. The laughter and chatter around her seemed to filter out the noise. Despite the lively atmosphere, Mu Yingying felt completely out of place.
It was as if this was a place she shouldn't have come to in the first place.
"Are we... ultimately from different worlds?"
Mu Yingying lowered her head, clenching her hands tightly against her chest. Perhaps because the air conditioning was too cold, Mu Yingying felt extremely cold.
She suddenly had a strong urge to go home.
Although her own home was small, not as spacious and bright as this apartment, nor as exquisite, it was warm and enough to accommodate her equally small self.
Girls will want to go home after being ignored.
They all love their homes.
"Excuse my bluntness... but you are definitely not from the same world."
Just as Mu Yingying was feeling lost and isolated from the world, a faint voice came from behind her, making her pause slightly. She turned around and saw that the person's conspicuous blond hair revealed his identity.
"To be honest... I was really surprised, because I didn't expect you two to be together. When did this happen?"
Xia Che held a wine glass in one hand. Besides the one he was drinking from, the liquid in the other glass was yellowish and clearly not wine.
He handed over the bright yellow glass: "Have some of this, it's not alcohol, it's hot orange juice."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yingying, who had initially wanted to refuse due to feeling cold, hesitated for a moment before accepting the hot orange juice.
She took a small sip and felt much better from her cold. Then she looked up and said quietly, "I've never heard of using a wine glass to hold hot orange juice..."
Mu Yingying had only done this kind of thing when she was a child.
Pretending to be one of those rich heiresses in TV dramas, filling empty wine glasses with drinks, tasting them, and then pretending to get drunk...
Perhaps everyone has done this when they were young.
"Haha, because I couldn't find any other glasses here, and I saw that there were quite a few empty stemmed glasses, so I used them."
Xia Che chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, then winked at Mu Yingying: "Don't worry, the owner of this house won't mind."
"Yes, she looks like a daughter of a wealthy family, why would she get angry over a cup?"
Mu Yingying nodded in agreement, recalling Qing Ning's elegant demeanor.
If she and Li Junyang are from different worlds, then the difference is even more obvious when compared to Qing Ning.
