Faced with Lin Xiao's explanation, Chu Yingying's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally revived.
You Wanjun raised her eyebrows slightly.
I don't really believe it, but I don't completely disbelieve it either.
After all, she thought that her best friend had only met Lin Xiao once, and would not do something so outrageous for him.
Perhaps this is the truth?
Who knows?
Lin Xiao looks quite honest and doesn't seem like the type to lie.
Of course, most importantly, You Wanjun didn't want to have a falling out with Chu Yingying over this matter.
They've been best friends for so many years, even closer than sisters.
In any case, let's just let this matter drop.
It was somewhat awkward for the three of them to be in the same room.
Chu Yingying knew perfectly well that You Wanjun had flown back to Jiangcheng from the capital specifically to see Lin Xiao.
Should she leave?
Although, but.
A corner of her heart was burning with curiosity: how exactly did her junior, Lin Xiao, and her best friend, Junjun, get along in private?
Will they hug?
Chu Yingying glanced at Lin Xiao, then at You Wanjun, imagining the two of them embracing, and her eyes widened in surprise.
It felt as if my heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible iron claw.
The pain was so intense she could hardly breathe.
Chu Yingying suddenly stood up.
You Wanjun found it strange and quickly asked, "Yingying, what's wrong?"
Chu Yingying looked flustered, spun around in place, and then ran quickly to the restroom.
"I need to pee."
After a long pause, she came up with this excuse and ran away.
Yu Wanjun chuckled and gently scolded, "How old is this girl? Why is she still so loud and boisterous?"
She's not usually like this.
"Is she uncomfortable with you here?"
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and said with a faint smile, "I don't eat people. Why is Senior Sister Chu afraid of me?"
Only Lin Xiao and You Wanjun remained in the living room.
The atmosphere immediately became strange again.
Lin Xiao thought that today's commotion had somewhat affected their mood.
To ease the tension, Lin Xiao made conversation by saying, "Jun Jun, it's rare that you and Senior Sister Chu are both here. How about I show you both my skills tonight?"
"Consider the extra time my apology."
Lin Xiao firmly believes in one thing: it's never wrong to be overly polite.
Although it's important to have clearly marked prices in business, customers shouldn't feel like they're being taken advantage of.
Since his time is already valuable enough, it's okay to give him a discount occasionally.
As long as the customer doesn't go crazy, even half an hour will pass quickly.
Sure enough, You Wanjun felt very comforted upon hearing this, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
It wasn't that she wanted to take advantage of Lin Xiao.
She simply enjoyed the feeling of being treated differently by Lin Xiao, as if he were one of his own.
It's like when you go to a fruit shop to buy fruit, the owner always gives you two extra treats. You may not care about them, but you still appreciate their kindness.
I silently praised him in my heart, "This boss is generous and easy to get along with!"
I'll definitely patronize his place again next time.
You Wanjun pursed her lips, gave Lin Xiao a deep look, and hesitated to speak.
She made a special trip back today just to relive the hug she shared last week.
She came back to recharge.
But now that Yingying is here, the two of them have no chance to be alone.
It's impossible not to feel disappointed.
After all, she had been waiting for a full seven days.
Lin Xiao blinked.
He didn't quite understand what You Wanjun was trying to say at first, but then he suddenly remembered a point from the book "Predicting Human Behavior"—
Sometimes, behind a person's behavior lie unspoken expectations and desires.
A thought struck him, and he seemed to understand something.
Perhaps You Wanjun rushed back today not only to meet Chu Yingying, but also to relive the time she spent alone with Chu Yingying last week.
She was very docile at the time, having shed all her fierceness.
Her outfit today was also very warm.
"Jun Jun, you can tell me directly if you have something to say."
"Whatever it is, I'm willing to listen," Lin Xiao said softly.
You Wanjun was slightly taken aback, a hint of hesitation and struggle flashing in her eyes.
She finally pursed her lips and said softly, "Next time. Let's talk alone when we have a chance."
Lin Xiao didn't press the matter further.
He hugged Senior Chu for almost half an hour today, and he's had enough.
If you just hold him for too long, he'll get distracted.
He was like a tightrope walker, always holding onto a tightrope.
Always walk on thin ice, stand on the edge of an abyss, or face a formidable enemy.
He can't take it seriously.
Customers can temporarily let their guard down, but he can only pretend that he has also let his guard down.
He focused half his attention on the role and the other half on watching himself act.
He doesn't want to be a jerk.
Therefore, he could only be a ruthless professional sycophant.
"Do you still want me to cook dinner tonight?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
Surely the three of them can't just sit here staring at each other?
You Wanjun thought for a moment, "What do you want to do? There's nothing in my refrigerator."
"However, you can order online and have it delivered to your door within half an hour."
"I can make delicious spicy hot pot." Lin Xiao said confidently with a smile. "Jun Jun, do you and Senior Chu like spicy food?"
Upon hearing about spicy food, You Wanjun subconsciously swallowed.
To maintain her figure and skin condition, she has been abstaining from carbohydrates for a long time.
She's been craving hot pot for a whole year.
But her agent wouldn't let her eat it.
She also controlled her diet, eating only very bland foods, to the point that her mouth felt bland.
But at this moment, she wavered.
It's been so long since I've had fragrant white rice.
But the two little people inside her were still fighting, and it was hard to tell who would win.
