"Before this, I heard a lot of bad news about you, and I blame myself for being too gullible and believing one side of the story. I did believe these rumors."
“Xiaoxin is a very good friend of mine. Imagine seeing your good friend having a relationship with the rumored wicked school bully... For the sake of my friend, shouldn't I have stopped it? That's why I lost my temper and made Xiaoxin misunderstand.”
"That's how we ended up having this dinner today. Now I have a complete understanding of your character, Brother Xia. You are an absolutely good person. It was those baseless rumors that influenced my judgment, which was really wrong. I was one-sided on this point."
Li Junyang held the glass with both hands, drank the wine in one gulp, swallowed it all, then turned the glass upside down and shook it a couple of times to prove that he had indeed drunk it all. He smiled at Xia Che and said, "I'm really sorry, I almost misunderstood a good person."
"Careful, you're right. I think we'll become great friends. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanxin couldn't help but smile with relief, and the initial unfamiliarity she felt towards Li Junyang gradually dissipated.
That's more like it.
She dares to admit her mistakes and apologize for them; this is the Li Junyang she knows.
Moreover, Li Junyang's dissatisfaction with Xia Che stemmed from his concern for him; wasn't that a sign of his care for him?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I was a bit too harsh on Li Junyang before?
As Shen Yan thought about it, her eyes softened even more. It seemed that she also needed to find an opportunity to apologize to Li Junyang.
Mu Yingying's pretty face flushed slightly. Her evaluation of Shen Yanxin was similar. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, thinking to herself, "Why hasn't Xia Che forgiven Li Junyang yet?"
This was clearly not his fault.
"That's amazing."
Xia Che looked at Li Junyang, who was all smiles, and smiled back, then suddenly uttered a rather inappropriate compliment.
Li Junyang is really amazing.
This person is a master liar.
With just a few words, they can minimize their mistakes, even absolve themselves of responsibility, and then shift the blame onto themselves under the pretext of a misunderstanding.
He did all the work, yet he was able to receive a completely honest evaluation in the end.
However, if you don't accept the other party's apology, you will be considered petty.
Although he knew that the two ambushes targeting Shen Yanxin were arranged by Li Junyang, for others it was just their own speculation, without any evidence.
This powerful weapon is destined to be unusable.
This person is truly remarkable for being able to turn a passive situation into an active one so easily.
It's only the early stages of the comic, and it's already evolved to this extent. If left unchecked, and Li Junyang grows into the fully-fledged hypocrite he is in the later stages of the comic... how troublesome would that be?
Xia Che felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.
"What does Brother Xia mean?"
Li Junyang, puzzled, asked with a smile.
Shen Yanxin and Mu Yingying also looked over, waiting for Xia Che's reply.
"I accept your apology. Shen Yanxin is right. We will become good...friends."
Xia Che stood up, smiling as he extended his hand.
Li Junyang was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Xia Che to accept his apology so readily. In his mind, since he had so distorted the truth, Xia Che would definitely be furious and would confront him. In that case, Xia Che would be labeled as a troublemaker, and Shen Yanxin would lose a lot of goodwill towards Xia Che.
But now...
Xia Che doesn't seem to have fallen for the trap?
Li Junyang pondered for a moment, then extended his hand, his smile unchanged.
"What a formidable enemy..."
Xia Che and Li Junyang clasped hands, the same thought rising in their minds at the same time, and gently shook them.
They both clearly wanted to kill each other, yet they were now clasped together, each with a smile on their face. The scene was undeniably bizarre...
After a brief handshake, the two quickly let go and discreetly wiped their hands with either the corner of their clothes or the tablecloth.
Shaking hands with this guy was really dirty...
The two disliked each other, but for the sake of their respective plans, they didn't show it at all.
"Ding-dong! So this misunderstanding is completely cleared up. We'll all be good friends from now on. This dinner seems more like a social gathering."
Mu Yingying cheered, her eyes crinkling with joy.
She was happy to see this scene. Regardless of what the two had thought before, they had made up now, and it seemed that their relationship could return to normal.
Um……
At that time, Xia Che was careful, as was Li Junyang...
So it's mine now?
Mu Yingying blushed at the sudden thought that had risen in her mind. She sat back down immediately after standing up, covering her face with her hands, which felt burning hot.
"Yes, from now on we'll all be friends."
Shen Yanxin was equally happy, her eyes sparkling with delight as she secretly glanced at Xia Che.
Who wouldn't like a magnanimous guy?
Such a broad mind is the quality a real man should have.
Unconsciously, Shen Yanxin's affection for Xia Che grew even stronger.
"That's right."
Li Junyang's eyes darkened slightly. He then took out his phone, as if someone had sent him a message. After reading the content, his darkened eyes instantly brightened, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face. After quickly replying, Li Junyang raised his head again and said with a smile, "Alright, now that we've had our fill of food and drink and the misunderstanding has been cleared up, do you have any plans for the future?"
