Xu Xinchen really didn't expect this. It was just a design competition abroad, but she actually ran into Xu Yaxin. Should this be called a bad fate, or how should it be explained?
Seeing Xu Yaxin's face full of joy, Xu Xinchen just wanted to turn around and leave. What a terrible fate! Couldn't God let her relax for a while?
With the competition so close, she still has to run into someone she doesn't want to see at all. This is really putting her in a difficult position.
Xu Yaxin seemed completely oblivious to the impatience on Xu Xinchen's face and rushed directly to Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng.
"Brother Ning Sheng, Miss Lu, are you going abroad for a trip?"
Although Xu Xinchen really wanted to turn her head away and ignore Xu Yaxin, she decided to respond to Xu Yaxin because Chen Ningsheng and she were childhood sweethearts, and because Xu Yaxin had never done anything disgusting except for that one time she appeared that day.
"No, we're going abroad to participate in a competition."
Chen Ningsheng turned his head with a smile and glanced at Xu Xinchen. He originally thought that Xu Xinchen would simply ignore Xu Yaxin, but he didn't expect that Xu Xinchen could speak to Xu Yaxin so kindly.
"A competition?" Xu Yaxin tilted her head, her permed wavy hair falling to the other side of her body with her movement, which, combined with her small face, made her look quite cute.
"Ms. Lu, would you mind telling me what competition you're going to participate in?"
Xu Yaxin remembers that Chen Ningsheng basically never went abroad except for work, and even if there was a competition, he would never participate. He only cared about his work.
With this information combined, it becomes clear who can participate in the competition: only Lu Minshi. She needs to find out which competition she is going to participate in.
As for Xu Xinchen, although she didn't like Xu Yaxin, she wouldn't easily give Xu Yaxin the cold shoulder for Chen Ningsheng's sake, as long as Xu Yaxin didn't do anything too outrageous.
"It's a jewelry design competition," Xu Xinchen said, then took the initiative to ask Xu Yaxin, "Ms. Xu, what brings you to the airport? Are you going abroad for vacation?"
Xu Yaxin's face had already turned cold when she heard Xu Xinchen say that she was going abroad to participate in a design competition. However, Xu Xinchen did not take Xu Yaxin seriously at all, so he naturally did not notice Xu Yaxin's unusual behavior.
Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's question, Xu Yaxin perfectly concealed the stiffness on her face and smiled at Xu Xinchen, saying, "Ms. Lu, we are quite destined to meet. I am also going to participate in a jewelry design competition."
Xu Xinchen was completely speechless. Could something so tragic really happen? She had to run into her boyfriend's childhood sweetheart just to participate in a competition.
Xu Yaxin didn't care what Xu Xinchen was thinking. She stretched out her hand and said to Xu Xinchen with a charming smile, "Miss Lu, if that's the case, then we're competitors. Please go easy on me next time."
Xu Xinchen's lips twitched slightly: "Ms. Xu, you're joking. Design competitions are judged by the judges, not the contestants. We may not have many more opportunities to meet. I wish Ms. Xu all the best in getting what she wants."
Seeing this, Xu Yaxin knew that Xu Xinchen had no intention of withdrawing from the competition and was determined to win it.
She felt impatient, but she couldn't say anything in front of Chen Ningsheng.
He could only smile at Xu Xinchen and say, "Thank you, and I wish Ms. Lu all the best in getting what you want."
Chen Ningsheng crossed his arms in front of him, raising his eyebrows as he watched Xu Xinchen and Xu Yaxin talking. Although he didn't say anything to help Xu Xinchen, his actions clearly showed that he was biased towards her.
Xu Yaxin was on the same flight as Xu Xinchen and the others, but their seats were not together; there was a distance of more than ten seats between them.
After boarding the plane, Xu Xinchen put the smaller portion of her luggage on the overhead rack, then sat down and closed her eyes to take a nap.
After putting most of his luggage on the luggage rack, Chen Ningsheng sat down next to Xu Xinchen. Seeing how tired Xu Xinchen looked, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her and gently rubbed her hand.
"Baby, are you feeling very tired?" Chen Ningsheng asked as he helped Xu Xinchen relax.
Xu Xinchen forced herself to stay awake, opened her eyes and looked at Chen Ningsheng: "Of course I'm tired, both physically and mentally. Why do I keep running into your childhood sweetheart wherever I go?"
Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Chen Ningsheng lowered his head and smiled, reaching out to stroke Xu Xinchen's cheek and offering words of comfort.
"It's okay, just pretend she doesn't exist. Her father is very good to me, so I can't easily embarrass her. But if she does something really outrageous, I will definitely stand by your side."
Xu Xinchen nodded wearily. She didn't care about that, nor did she demand that Chen Ningsheng cut off all contact with his old friends after they got together.
As long as Chen Ningsheng has some sense of the situation, and Xu Yaxin has indeed not done anything excessive, Xu Yaxin is still within her tolerance range.
Xu Yaxin, who was sitting in front, would occasionally turn around to look at Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen, who were about a dozen seats away from her.
Seeing the two of them whispering to each other with their heads down, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. These two were going too far. In front of so many people on the plane, they were actually whispering to each other.
However, she had no right or standing to criticize them, and they were both speaking in very low voices so as not to disturb anyone around them.
This left her even more speechless. Even if she wanted to separate the two of them, she couldn't. After looking at them for a long time with resentment, Xu Yaxin turned her head away in annoyance and casually picked up a blanket and draped it over herself.
Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng, who were in the back seat, also gradually fell asleep after speaking. They were exhausted with several hours of flight time left, so they decided to take a nap while they were feeling sleepy.
