☆, Chapter 93
This was different from what Ouyang Qian had thought. She looked at Xiu Yangui and asked, "Didn't you say before that you weren't jealous?"
"I don't like sweet and sour either."
Not jealous?
Sweet and sour?
All of a sudden, Xiu Yangui was reminded of something that had made him depressed for a long time.
The same thing happened in the second semester of high school.
Tang Cluster.
He was a boy from another school whom Xi Mo met after participating in a competition.
Originally, this was not something Xiu Yangui could know, but as luck would have it, there was a competition in the city being held in the auditorium of Deyu High School, and Tang Cu was one of the contestants.
That morning, Xiu Yangui was catching up on his sleep during the break, but he suddenly felt uneasy. He looked up with a sad face and saw Xi Mo walking out of the classroom. Standing at the door was a boy he had never seen before. It was obvious that Xi Mo knew him.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, and all his sleepiness disappeared. He stared intently at the overlapping figures standing at the door. From his angle, he could see that the boy's eyes looking at Xi Mo were not innocent.
I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and wanted to rush up to stop them from chatting.
It’s okay to have Pu Nuo, as he was rejected by Xi Mo anyway, and now there’s another person whose background he has no idea about.
However, Tang Cu only spoke a few words to Xi Mo, gave her a book and left. When Xi Mo returned to the classroom with the book, Xiu Yangui immediately looked away, lowered his eyes and head, pretending to have just woken up. In fact, Xi Mo would not notice that he was peeking, but he just felt guilty.
His mind was always on Xi Mo, who was talking to Qin Xinwei.
But even if I pricked up my ears and tried to hear some details, I could not hear anything because of the noisy classroom.
At that time, Xiu Yangui had not yet evolved to the point where he could use his good brothers to gather information, so he could only scratch his head in distress.
Chen Nianyu returned to his seat and noticed Xiu Yangui, who looked like he was in danger. "Ayan, what's wrong with you?"
Xiu Yangui instantly changed his attitude back to normal, pretending to be normal, "It's okay."
You can fool others but you can't fool yourself.
Maybe there was nothing between Xi Mo and that boy, and he was just thinking too much and seeing things in context. However, his emotions had been affected and he was in turmoil all morning. He was completely restless and kept staring at the table in a daze, thinking, what should he do if that was Xi Mo's boyfriend?
"It's over, it's over, it's over..."
Chen Nianyu heard Xiu Yangui's continuous mumbling, raised his head and gave Zhou Beizhen next to him a look. Zhou Beizhen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what happened either.
Chen Nianyu had no choice but to move closer to Xiu Yangui and asked, "Ayan, what are you mumbling about?"
Xiu Yangui shut his mouth and evaded the question casually: "Nothing, is get out of class over?"
"Almost, two minutes left.
Chen Nianyu's attention was diverted. "Sister Qian and the others have already taken their seats in the cafeteria."
"Oh, they said there were students and teachers from other schools coming to the school for some kind of cup competition today, and the cafeteria would be packed, so they told us to rush over as soon as get out of class was over."
Students from other schools come to compete?
Xiu Yangui immediately sat up straight, "Is there a game today? Where?"
Zhou Beizhen took over the conversation: "In the auditorium, they were competing while we were in class. They should be almost finished by now."
As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Xiu Yangui remained motionless in his seat. He seemed to have forgotten to hide himself and did not realize that his attention was always focused on Xi Mo. As long as Xi Mo did not move, he would not move either.
Finally, his ears worked again and he heard Qin Xinwei calling Xi Mo. They were going to the auditorium to find someone and then go to the cafeteria to eat together.
His intuition told him that he should follow and take a look, so he called Chen Nianyu and Zhou Beizhen, "I'll pack my things, you guys go first, don't keep them waiting too long."
He didn't tell his two brothers that he was going to the auditorium because he was going to follow Xi Mo and couldn't let others know.
The road to the auditorium was not short. There were people coming and going along the way. Most of them were heading towards the cafeteria and outside the school, and only a few were heading towards the auditorium. Xiu Yangui could only retreat again and again, not daring to follow closely for fear of being exposed.
It is said that the world is a circle, and the theory of six degrees of separation is not exaggerated. Qin Xinwei actually knew that boy. He was the person they were looking for, and he was also the one they were going to eat with in the cafeteria.
Xiu Yangui's back teeth were about to be broken by his own biting. He felt anxious and painful, but he could do nothing but hide in the dark and watch.
Even if they are far away, when they walk towards them, they will immediately turn their backs and not want to face them directly; even if they are extremely anxious, they will not forget to follow them carefully and analyze the situation from their conversation.
What made Xiu Yangui feel relieved was that only Qin Xinwei and Tang Cu chatted frequently along the way. Xi Mo just focused on participating. She was not enthusiastic about the boy and did not have any feelings for him. She didn't say much and only responded when her response was needed.
At this time, Qin Xinwei was teasing Tang Cu, "You are really kind-hearted. You even brought our Xi Mo's tutorial books when you came to the competition."
"I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not to go to the bar."
Tang Cu did not deny it, "It's easy to do, no need to worry."
Then he looked at Xi Mo, "This is what you need, right? I remember correctly, right?"
"Yes, that's what I need. Thank you, Tang Cu."
"You're welcome."
"Yeah~" Qin Xinwei sighed without realizing it was meaningful. "Great."
Although Xiu Yangui only heard part of the conversation, it was enough to make him envious, jealous and hateful, and his fists clenched tightly involuntarily.
When he heard the boy's name, he sneered and cursed in his heart, "Sweet and sour, I'm still braised."
It was not enough to just scold him, he also had to keep comparing his name and his own name to see which one sounded better, and keep guessing which name Xi Mo thought was better and which one she liked more.
It was childish behavior, but he couldn't help it.
Although watching them get along would make him upset, it gave him the opportunity to see Xi Mo's gentle smile. Xiu Yangui pulled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, his expression full of bitterness.
This year of life without any intersection has taught Xiu Yangui to find joy in suffering. At the same time, he also knows that a secret admirer has no right to be jealous.
The lonely and helpless Xiu Yangui followed the three loving people in front of him into the school cafeteria. Now he could not follow them any further. He could only take one last look at Xi Mo's back and return to his friends.
"Brother Yan is here, hurry up, give up your seat."
"Ayan, sit here."
"Hurry up and sit down, Ah Yan. Let's go get some food."
Among all the boys, Ouyang Qian is the only girl here. Girls are always sensitive and she is the only one who noticed Xiu Yangui's absent-mindedness.
"What's wrong, Brother Yan? Are you unhappy eating with us?"
Xiu Yangui concealed his inner sorrow and loneliness, tried hard to act as if he was no different from usual, and stopped thinking about the things that troubled him.
"Why not? I'm so happy."
Ouyang Qian just nodded suspiciously.
At this time, the student in charge of serving food came over and said, "Make way, our cafeteria's dishes have been updated today. Look, what is this!"
"Great, they have sweet and sour pork ribs, they look pretty good."
"Why are there hard dishes? Are they prepared for students from other schools?"
"Not only that, the organizers of that cup competition are here too, so... you get the idea."
“Oh~”
Xiu Yangui stared at the dish in a daze, and for some reason he thought of the boy who had ulterior motives - Tang Cu.
The young man couldn't control his emotions to begin with, and anger kept rising in his heart. At the same time, there was also sadness and grief mixed in. He tried hard to swallow it down, but his gloomy brows and gloomy look still showed that he was not in a good state, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
When everyone was digging into the plate of spare ribs, only Xiu Yangui and Ouyang Qian didn't touch it. Ouyang Qian did it to maintain her figure, while Xiu Yangui just felt sorry for everyone else.
Ouyang Qian once again noticed something was wrong with Xiu Yangui, "Brother Yan, why don't you eat spareribs? You must be trying to stay in shape."
Xiu Yangui lost his appetite just by looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs. All he could think of was Xi Mo smiling faintly at Tang Cu. He was so jealous that he was full. He said coldly, "No."
"I don't like it. Sweet and sour."
"Why?"
Xiu Yangui couldn't explain, so he could only grit his teeth secretly: "No reason, I just don't like sweet and sour food."
Of course, this "sweet and sour" is not the same as that sweet and sour.
It’s just that Ouyang Qian didn’t know the twists and turns, so he misunderstood.
At this time, Chen Nianyu held a bowl of vinegar and asked the two people: "They went to get dumplings, do you want to eat?"
"Want some vinegar?"
Ouyang Qian shook her head. She didn’t want dumplings or vinegar.
Xiu Yangui also shook his head. In fact, he didn't know what to respond. The jealousy in his heart was about to make him explode. He didn't want to speak or think at all. His mind was full of thoughts about the relationship between Xi Mo and Tang Cu.
After Chen Nianyu left, Ouyang Qian looked at Xiu Yangui again and continued to ask: "You don't like sweet and sour food, is it because you don't get jealous?"
This gave Xiu Yangui room for association. He didn't like Tang Cu either because he was not jealous, or because he was jealous!
But as a secret admirer, he has no right to be jealous. He is not jealous now, just a little sad.
Xiu Yangui lowered his eyes and said in a muffled voice: "If you don't get jealous, you can't."
Throughout the meal, he was not moved by the lively and joyful atmosphere around him. He sat there without saying a word. When no one around him noticed, he pretended to look around casually. However, there were so many people in the cafeteria that finding anyone was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
This is what secret love is like, a chaotic mess for one person.
Back to the present, Xiu Yangui still remembers the panic and powerlessness he felt at that time, as if he was holding fine sand tightly but it still slipped through his fingers.
I took a long breath, distanced myself from the scene at that time, and looked back at everyone at the dinner table.
"Sweet and sour... you can eat it later."
"As for vinegar, I couldn't eat it before, but now I can."
Only Xiu Yangui himself could interpret these meaningful words; the people present could only understand the superficial meaning.
Xi Mo couldn't help but look at Xiu Yangui a few more times, and received a look that she couldn't understand. There was bitterness and joy in it, but the joy far outweighed the bitterness, and there were many more subtle emotions mixed in.
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared. Xiu Yangui turned back into his previous frivolous and amorous self, curling his lips and smiling, raising his eyebrows and winking at Xi Mo, as if teasing her.
Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo were flirting with each other, and Ouyang Qian was rarely silent. At this time, Kong Suhang stood up and walked outside without saying a word.
Everyone fell silent and turned their eyes to Ouyang Qian. Among them, the one who was most suitable and should care about Kong Suhang the most was Ouyang Qian.
Anyone with a little insight could see that during the second half of the meal, Ouyang Qian was deliberately ignoring Kong Suhang.
Kong Suhang's sudden departure made Ouyang Qian's face look a little ugly, but she did not get up to chase him out. Instead, she called the waiter to pay the bill, which had already been paid by Xiu Yangui in advance.
"Brother Yan is so charming, he does great things quietly."
Although Ouyang Qian was smiling, his expression was stiff and it was obvious that something was wrong.
Chen Nianyu saw this and wised up, acting as a peacemaker, "Sister Qian, why don't you go and take a look? I don't think Su Hang has left yet."
Ouyang Qian also felt so. She was silent for a while, then stood up.
"Then, I'll go find him."
Because Zeng Rong was a guest brought by Ouyang Qian, and Ouyang Qian was busy, Chen Nianyu pulled this little brother to play games to pass the time. Xiu Yangui felt it was boring here, so he picked up the cat bag and prepared to leave with Xi Mo.
Xi Mo went to the bathroom to wash her hands first. There was a corner next to the bathroom. When she came out, she ran into Kong Suhang and Ouyang Qian. The two seemed to be unhappy and their expressions were as cold as ice.
Xiu Yangui was standing at the door of the private room waiting for Xi Mo and saw them. He didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, so he pulled Xi Mo over, made a "goodbye" gesture to them, and left.
They returned to Xiu Yangui's home. As soon as Moli came out of the cat bed, she ran straight to the food machine and started eating rice. Xi Mo squatted beside her and watched.
Xiu Yangui sat on the carpet, leaning against the sofa, staring at Xi Mo's back, and suddenly said, "Xi Momo, what are you thinking about?"
Xi Mo just squatted there, changed direction, and turned towards Xiu Yangui, "He is very sad, Kong Suhang."
When they met in the corridor, Xi Mo saw the red eyes behind Kong Suhang's glasses. He was so tall, but he was covered with bruises. Even so, he did not leave immediately, but stayed in the hotel, probably hoping that Ouyang Qian would come to find him, but the result was still unsatisfactory.
Xiu Yangui didn't care, "What can we do? He likes Ouyang, but Ouyang doesn't like him."
"After being approached by the person I like, I was ignored again."
“It’s normal to feel sad.”
Xi Mo understood but not completely, "Why would she ignore him? Aren't they friends?"
Xiu Yangui understood more about emotions than Xi Mo, and could also understand Ouyang Qian's behavior. He guessed, "Maybe Ouyang wants to get Kong Suhang's attention."
Xi Mo lowered her eyes in thought, recalling the scene of meeting the two people. She not only saw the sad Kong Suhang, but also Ouyang Qian, who was a little further away, had tears in her eyes. That was not how the free and easy Ouyang Qian should look.
"She gave him the cold shoulder, but was just as upset."
