"I'm not like you." Song Jie replied in a low voice.
However, Lin Chuxuan, who always had poor hearing, heard clearly what he said this time.
He immediately got angry, "Song Jie, why are you being so sarcastic? At this moment, can't you say something nice? After all, I came to your competition with you!"
In Lin Chuxuan's opinion, since Song Jie was participating in the competition and he was accompanying him, it was equivalent to their reconciliation.
Even if they hadn't reconciled, the relationship should have been eased in front of Jin Xia. However, Song Jie's words were still so unpleasant to the ear.
Song Jie glanced at him and tightened his grip on Jin Xia's clothes, seeming a little scared.
Lin Chuxuan: “…”
I just can't stand seeing him act like this, a grown man would act so aggrieved!
"Okay." Jin Xia stopped him in time, "Let's go eat first, and then we can talk about other things after we finish eating."
Lin Chuxuan snorted coldly, "You will side with him."
It's like this every time. She never stops Song Jie from saying anything, but as soon as he mentions Song Jie, she will come out and interrupt them.
Don't be too biased.
Not only was his bias obvious, Jin Xia was even very confident, "It's good that you know."
Knowing that she was on Song Jie's side, he still talked about Song Jie in front of her?
Lin Chuxuan: "..." He has nothing to say, okay?
Jin Xia ignored them and turned around to find a restaurant to eat.
Song Jie and Lin Chuxuan followed her obediently, but Lin Chuxuan glared at Song Jie fiercely.
There is a street next to the competition venue that is full of restaurants, but because of the competition, the whole street is now full of people.
Jin Xia is very down-to-earth and can squeeze in with those people, except for the two kids behind him.
Jin Xia suddenly stopped and looked back at Song Jie and Lin Chuxuan, "Should we go over there and squeeze in, or find another place?"
Lin Chuxuan was the first to speak, "I'm not that delicate. This kind of place is nice. It has a strong atmosphere of fireworks."
His words seemed to be mocking Song Jie's pretentiousness, and he felt that Song Jie must not like eating in such a place.
Song Jie said calmly, "You feel the strong smell of fireworks because there's a fire inside."
Lin Chuxuan: “???”
After he said this, Jin Xia and Lin Chuxuan turned around and looked at the street again.
Thick black smoke billowed out of one of the restaurants and many people ran out, coughing and cursing, saying it was bad luck.
Lin Chuxuan: "...No wonder I smelled smoke as soon as I came here."
"Tsk, let's go somewhere else." After something like this happened, this place would only become more crowded.
Jin Xia didn't say much and took out her cell phone to call the police, but she heard someone nearby had already called the police.
Since someone had already arrived early, Jin Xia had to give up and take out the map to see if there were any other restaurants around.
About half a minute later, Jin Xia heard the voice of the person who had called the police just now, getting closer and closer to him.
It was a female voice, and it sounded a little familiar.
She couldn't help but look up and glance to the side, and saw that the person who called the police was Meng Li.
Jin Xia subconsciously glanced at Lin Chuxuan. Lin Chuxuan's eyes were on her mobile phone at the moment. He was looking for some good restaurants around with her and didn't care about the things around him at all.
Jin Xia: “…”
Love is right in front of him, but he just wants to eat it!
Jin Xia sighed silently, and found that Song Jie's eyes were also on his phone. His expression was similar to Lin Chuxuan's.
“…”Two gluttons.
Meng Li, who was standing next to him, called the police, hung up the phone, and walked to Jin Xia's side.
However, her eyes were not on Jin Xia, but on Song Jie who was next to Jin Xia.
"Song Jie, long time no see!"
She spoke with a smile, looking very graceful, as if she was just greeting an old friend.
Song Jie heard someone calling him and looked up at her.
The eyes behind the black-framed glasses were a little confused, and for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
Even Lin Chuxuan couldn't help but look up when he heard the voice.
Upon closer look, he discovered that it was the beautiful girl from No. 1 Middle School that Jin Xia had told him about before.
Looking closer, she was indeed quite pretty. This time, his vision was somewhat similar to that of Teacher Tang.
Meng Li felt a little disappointed when she saw Song Jie's confused expression.
Even though they had been desk mates for so long and they had only not seen each other for a few months, he seemed to be looking at her as if she were a stranger.
After she greeted him, Song Jie didn't respond and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Jin Xia asked at the right moment: "Is Meng Li right?"
When Meng Li heard her name, her eyes lit up and she smiled and nodded at Jin Xia, "Hello, I'm Meng Li."
After saying that, he looked at Song Jie again with some anticipation.
Now that he has mentioned her name, he should remember me, right?
This name really reminded Song Jie.
But the first thing he did was to explain their relationship to Jin Xia, "She was my former deskmate."
Jin Xia nodded to show his understanding.
She spoke up to ease the awkwardness, and now that the awkwardness is over, they can talk about something else.
Unfortunately, before Jin Xia could speak, Lin Chuxuan, the awkward situation maker next to him, asked inexplicably, "What's going on?"
"You two were classmates? Shouldn't you be in college now?"
He was just as interested in this question as Jin Xia was when he first learned that Meng Li was still in No. 1 Middle School.
but……
The reason why Meng Li repeated her grade cannot be told to anyone.
Sure enough, Meng Li pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, "Uh..."
She hesitated for a few seconds and made up a plausible excuse, "I...didn't do well on the college entrance exam, so I repeated it."
"Oh..." Just when Lin Chuxuan was about to believe it.
Song Jie, the second awkwardness creator, frowned and asked, "I remember you were in the top five in the city. Is that considered unsatisfactory?"
Meng Li: "..." Thank you so much for remembering this matter so clearly!
Jin Xia: "..." Are all kids these days so low in EQ? Their EQ is even lower than hers, there's no hope!
Not only that, Lin Chuxuan next to him heard what Song Jie said, and seemed to realize something, and added to what Song Jie said.
"I was just wondering if I could participate in this competition if I wasn't a good student. Turns out I'm a Versailles scholar. Top five isn't good enough. Is first place your ideal result?"
Meng Li: “…”
Jin Xia: “…”
What a guy, he really doesn’t give others any face at all.
Jin Xia had no choice but to say, "Maybe he didn't get into his ideal school and is planning to retake it. It's his freedom, why are you asking so many questions? Okay, let's go eat."
Meng Li next to him breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jin Xia with some gratitude.
If it weren't for her, she really wouldn't be able to continue what these two straight men were saying.
