Chen Xu sat at the table at the door, holding a cigarette in one hand and looking at his phone in the other. Chen Ziqi had already gone to bed, and when the last customer left, he was the only one left.
Click! The sound of high heels hitting the ground was unusually clear, and someone came in.
Chen Xu's eyes left the phone screen and looked up, seeing a pair of light-colored shiny high heels, and above them were slender and straight legs, wrapped in a leather skirt. Above that was a black striped shirt, and hands crossed in front of the chest, holding a black bag.
Without looking at her face, he knew who she was, Liu Yumeng, Luo Xiyun's good friend. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of this woman. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been scolded by a woman, and the scolding was so ugly.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" He took the cigarette out of his mouth, put it out in the ashtray, and waved his hand to blow away the cigarette in front of him.
After all, she was Luo Xiyun's friend, so she had to show some basic courtesy.
However, when he saw her cold expression, he knew that she had come with bad intentions.
Liu Yumeng said coldly, "Chen Xu, are you planning to keep fighting like this?"
Chen Xu looked away and looked at the phone in his hand. The page was full of news about Bai Jinxuan.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Liu Yumeng's face became even angrier, "What's wrong with you now? You're dragging your feet. Are you still a man?"
Chen Xu couldn't help but speak up after hearing what she said. "What on earth do you want to say?"
"As a man, just be straightforward." Liu Yumeng shouted, "If you don't dare to accept her, just tell her clearly and cut off all ties with her completely. If you can't bear to part with her, then go find her and make her happy. What's the point of leaving her hanging there?"
"No matter how low your EQ is, you can't be so stupid as to not know how to coax a girl, right?"
"Or do you want her to come to you on her own initiative? If you really think so, then you are really shameless."
Chen Xu's expression changed several times, and his hand holding the phone became tighter and tighter. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Did something happen to her?"
Liu Yumeng kept watching his expression. Although she didn't know what he was struggling with, considering Luo Xiyun's abnormal behavior in the past two days, there should be some connection.
"If you still care about her, come with me." She said coldly and turned to walk out.
Chen Xu closed his eyes. Half of his mind was occupied by Bai Jinxuan, and the other half was completely occupied by Luo Xiyun.
When Liu Yumeng was about to open the car door, he finally opened his eyes, stood up, closed the door, and walked towards the red Maserati parked on the side of the road. He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
After the car started, there was silence.
After a while, Liu Yumeng, who was still holding the steering wheel, spoke, "To tell you the truth, I don't like you at all. You are not worthy of her at all."
Chen Xu didn't say anything. He wasn't even in the mood to argue.
"I just don't want to see her so miserable."
"I don't think she has deep feelings for you. She just pinned some of her beautiful imagination of love on you. She has never been in a relationship, so I don't know how you impressed her. But I believe that you two will not last long."
"Women are like this. Before they fall in love, they always imagine it to be very beautiful. Only after they have really been with a man and experienced disappointment again and again, will they wake up and realize that such creatures are not worthy of your true love at all."
"All women have to go through this, so it's a bargain for you."
Hearing this, Chen Xu finally couldn't help it and said, "Don't make women sound so innocent. The fault is always the man's, and women are always the victims. Do you have a brain to say such things?"
Without waiting for her to refute, he sneered, "Of course, with a butt, what's the point of having a brain? If you are standing in the position of a woman, of course you have to put all the blame on the man. Otherwise, don't you have to admit that you are also wrong?"
"Why, you're still not convinced?"
"I only know that if a couple breaks up, no matter what happened between them, the man is always blamed. This statement must be nonsense."
"You are changing the concept."
"Isn't that what you just said? In a relationship, if a woman is hurt, the man should die. Isn't that your logic? Oh, only women will be hurt, but men won't be hurt? You only think about what men did to hurt you. But you never think about whether your behavior will hurt men."
Chen Xu sneered at this point, "When it comes to selfishness, you women are no less than that. Our eldest brother should stop laughing at the second brother."
Liu Yumeng said impatiently, "It's all sophistry. Don't talk to me anymore. It's annoying to listen to."
Chen Xu felt that he must be so angry that he discussed this matter with her. However, after a few arguments, the depression in his heart was relieved a lot.
The day before yesterday, he had been feeling heavy in his heart after seeing Bai Jinxuan's interview on the Internet. She was obviously talking about him.
He never expected that she would remember the memory in her dream so quickly.
He had never thought that she would be so bold as to tell the media that she had a crush on someone, totally ignoring the fact that her acting career might suffer a fatal blow.
I remember that in the dream, he asked what would happen if they returned to Earth. She replied that she would like to be an ordinary person again. Unexpectedly, she really did what she said.
How could he remain indifferent in the face of a girl like this?
On one side, there was Luo Xiyun, who had accompanied him for several months in his first dream. On the other side, there was Bai Jinxuan, with whom he had been together for half a year and with whom he had deep feelings. No matter which one he chose, someone would get hurt. He didn't know how to choose.
Reason told him that he should choose Luo Xiyun. It was not because of anything else, but based on practical considerations. After all, Bai Jinxuan and he were from completely different worlds.
However, Bai Jinxuan's words during the interview kept ringing in his ears. It was like a stone pressing on his heart. It was so heavy that he couldn't make a decision.
In the past two days, he has cursed that broken system countless times. If it hadn't made a mistake, how could he have fallen into such a dilemma.
Liu Yumeng's arrival finally broke the balance in his heart and he began to lean towards Luo Xiyun.
He knew that if this dragged on, it would be more unfair to both girls.
When he got into the car, he had actually made a choice in his heart.
Jinxuan, just treat me as if I were dead.
He looked out the window and thought silently in his heart.
Half an hour later, the car stopped near a bar.
"Get out of the car." Liu Yumeng said coldly.
After getting off the car, Chen Xu followed her into the bar, frowning. He didn't like such occasions, and he didn't want a girl with whom he had a close relationship to come to such a place.
Although he thought so, he didn't say anything. After all, Luo Xiyun had nothing to do with him now.
After passing through a door, the blasting music vibrated his eardrums. In the dim light, colorful lights flickered chaotically. In the dance floor in the middle, countless young men and women were twisting their bodies.
The air was filled with the smell of alcohol mixed with perfume. All kinds of sensory stimulations seemed to speed up the flow of his blood, and his heart beat faster and faster with the powerful rhythm of the music.
There were a lot of people in the bar. The light was dim, with small spotlights of various colors interweaving from time to time. People's faces were not very clear, and one could only tell whether they were men or women.
Chen Xu followed Liu Yumeng to a corner where there were several sofas and several people, both men and women, sitting there. He recognized Luo Xiyun at a glance. She was sitting there alone, drinking quietly.
The flickering spots of light occasionally fell on her face. She looked a little lonely and seemed out of place with her surroundings.
Liu Yumeng didn't walk over, but stopped and said, "She's right there, you can do whatever you want."
Just as Chen Xu was about to go over, he saw a man holding a wine glass and sitting next to Luo Xiyun. "Beauty, I've been watching you over there for a long time. What's the point of drinking alone? Let's drink together."
Luo Xiyun didn't look at him, and said in a cold tone, "Go away."
The man smiled and said, "Don't be so cold, let's make friends..."
"She asked you to go away." At this time, Chen Xu walked to the table. He was already a little angry, and seeing this scene made him even angrier. He was very rude when he said this.
On the other side, Liu Yumeng saw it and gestured to a man not far behind Luo Xiyun, telling him not to bother. Then, she planned to see how Chen Xu would handle it.
The man leaned back, looking a little unhappy, and asked, "No, who are you?"
"She's my girlfriend."
Chen Xu walked around the table, pulled Luo Xiyun up, and asked her to stand behind him.
The man was stunned when he heard what he said. He turned his head and looked at Luo Xiyun behind him and said, "Beauty, you have poor taste. Dump this kind of man quickly. Let me introduce a few to you..."
Chen Xu didn't want to pay attention to this kind of person, so he pulled Luo Xiyun and said, "Let's go."
"Don't go." The man stood up and stood in front of Chen Xu. "I think this beautiful lady doesn't want to go with you."
Chen Xu's eyes turned cold, and he spat out one word, "Get lost."
"Oh, threatening me? I'm so scared." The man said, and a few men walked over.
On the other side, Liu Yumeng saw that the situation was about to get out of control, so she quickly waved her hand and asked the man to come over to help. As soon as the man moved, Chen Xu kicked him in the stomach.
The man's body was bent like a shrimp, his knees were on the ground, and he made a hoarse sound in his throat. Just by looking at his appearance, you could tell how hard the kick was.
"Fuck." The man's companions didn't expect him to actually dare to attack them. They cursed angrily and rushed forward with their weapons.
Seeing that a fight had really broken out, the people in the bar quickly surrounded them.
Liu Yumeng was also surprised. Chen Xu looked like a man who couldn't even do a fart, but when he got angry, he was really impulsive. She hurried over and wanted to pull Luo Xiyun out to avoid being affected.
As a result, when people squeezed over, they saw the five or six people who had started the fight lying on the ground, wailing, and Chen Xu standing there waving his hands.
What happened?
She was a little confused.
In just a few seconds, Chen Xu had knocked these people down?
Could these people be his shills? While she was still confused, Chen Xu had already pulled the equally surprised Luo Xiyun through the crowd and left.
PS: I recommend a book, also about harem, fairy tales, the author is Ji Cha, the title is: Fairy Please Respect Yourself. If you are short of books, you can give it a try.
