☆、60、Being good-looking is my family's business, what's it to you! (2472 words)
Yan Kuan waved his hand, and the young men behind him consciously dragged the three people on the ground away.
He lit another cigarette, smiled at Li Yaxi, and asked, "Are you scared?"
Li Yaxi looked at him and said, "It's not like I'm being interrogated, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Xu Wen rubbed his head and said, "Your brothers are working themselves to death outside, and you're sleeping so comfortably inside!"
Li Yaxi was displeased. "You guys are busy and making money. If I join in, I'll just be watching the show. I might as well go to sleep!"
Wang Liang chuckled and patted Li Yaxi on the shoulder, "You! You really never suffer a loss!"
Just as she finished speaking, she heard the door open. Tang Qing walked in with her schoolbag on her back. She didn't react much when she saw the room full of people, but she was clearly stunned when she saw Li Yaxi. She then turned around and went back to her room.
Less than a minute later, he ran out of the room again, shouting, "Who slept in my room?!"
Li Yaxi turned to look at Wang Liang, who was smiling and ruffling her hair.
Ya-Xi took a nap this afternoon.
Tang Qing glanced at Li Yaxi, and the obvious hostility in his eyes made Li Yaxi's hair stand on end. Then she ran back to her room and slammed the door shut.
Li Yaxi jumped in surprise at the sound of the door slamming. "I made the bed..."
Xu Wen laughed at him, "It's because you shouldn't have folded your blanket. Tang Qing never folds his blanket. Okay, even people younger than him can fold their blankets better than him. Where does that leave his pride? No wonder he's angry!"
Li Yaxi frowned, looking at Xu Wen and then at Wang Liang, trying to gauge the credibility of his words. Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Li Yaxi was frustrated; he had been tricked again!
Wang Liang stopped laughing. "Alright, hurry up and think about what we're having for dinner, it's getting late."
Li Yaxi felt like all they did was eat!
In the end, they chose a Korean BBQ restaurant, and Tang Qing naturally went along with them.
As soon as Wang Liang sat down, he ordered a non-spicy beef bone soup and some light side dishes.
Tang Qing was still wondering what was going on, but as soon as Wang Liang put all those things in front of Li Yaxi, he understood. His gaze towards Li Yaxi darkened even more.
Xu Wen, smoking a cigarette, calmly observed Tang Qing, then turned to Li Yaxi and said...
"Look how thoughtful your brother Liangzi is! I don't even get this kind of treatment!"
Li Yaxi looked at Xu Wen while biting her spoon, "Why does Brother Wen always like to tease me when it's time to eat? So I'm Brother Wen's appetizer!"
Xu Wen laughed loudly, "That's right! I smile as soon as I see you. Tell me, do you have some kind of special ability? Why do I feel so happy when I see you!"
Li Yaxi smiled and nodded, "Hehe, it's good to be happy. Then in the future, if Brother Wen is unhappy, just come find me and treat me to a meal. I'll eat, and you'll be in a better mood. It's a win-win situation!"
Xu Wen laughed without any regard for his image. Yan Kuan looked at Li Yaxi and shook his head, "I think you're the kind of person who can't stand to suffer the slightest loss. Wang Liang, you've really messed up this time. That kid is shrewd!"
Li Yaxi turned to look at Wang Liang with a serious expression. "What are you up to, Brother Wang Liang? I'm smart enough not to sell you off and expect me to help you count the money! At least give me a share of the profits!"
Wang Liang was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"Haha, don't worry! I'd sell anyone but you! Selling you is a small matter, but there will definitely be a lot of trouble later!"
Li Yaxi raised her chin and gave him a look that said, "You know what's good for you."
That expression made everyone at the table laugh again.
Tang Qing let out a particularly loud snort. Li Yaxi heard it but didn't feel embarrassed and continued eating.
As they chatted, Li Yaxi overheard Xu Wen talking about stocks, and the one he bought was supposed to keep rising, but it almost always ended up hitting its daily limit down.
"Brother Wen, in a few days, take profits on that stock and sell it quickly."
Xu Wen raised an eyebrow. "Oh, the little guy plays the stock market? He's so sure about it, could he have some inside information?"
Li Yaxi smiled and shook her head. "I don't have any inside information. I just recently helped a classmate collect some data on this topic, and I've looked at it myself. I know it's all just theoretical, but it's better to be cautious. Anyway, that stock should have made a lot of money by now. I'm only saying this because I really consider you my brother. Sell it as soon as possible."
Yan Kuan smiled and stared at Li Yaxi. "You also play the stock market? Which stocks have you bought?"
Li Yaxi glanced at Yan Kuan; he hated people who pretended to be eels when they were clearly venomous snakes.
"I've only researched a few stocks. Anyway, I'm just saying, so just take it with a grain of salt."
After dinner, the group started arguing about playing pool. As Tang Qing walked past Li Yaxi, he made a sarcastic remark.
"Don't take yourself too seriously, it's just a face!"
Li Yaxi did approach Wang Liang initially to get revenge on Han Weiming, but Wang Liang had never wronged her in her past life, and it was always better to have some acquaintance with these people than to be strangers. Even though she no longer had any desire for revenge, she hadn't severed ties with them.
But Tang Qing's words reminded him of Zhou Yang. How come he was just a face in other people's eyes?
Why is it that people keep nitpicking about people just because they're good-looking?
Li Yaxi sighed inwardly, feeling helpless. Suddenly, the wind picked up; perhaps the weather was about to change.
Li Yaxi didn't want to play anymore, so she said goodbye to them, saying that her thesis was due tomorrow and she had to work overtime tonight.
The group didn't hold him back any longer and let him go.
She tried to hail a taxi but it broke down halfway through the journey. She tried to flag one down for ages but couldn't get one. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, making Li Yaxi shiver with cold.
In the end, I called Feng Zihao and asked him to come pick me up.
When Feng Zihao arrived, he saw Li Yaxi squatting by the roadside, hugging herself tightly. Feeling sorry for her, he took off his coat and covered her with it, then pulled her into the car.
"Why didn't you wear more clothes? You're freezing!"
Li Yaxi pouted, feeling wronged. "How was I supposed to know the weather would suddenly change? If I had known it would change, I wouldn't have gone out!"
Feng Zihao rubbed Li Yaxi's hands together until he felt a little warmer before starting the car.
"The weather has been changing a lot lately, so you should bring an extra jacket when you go out! It might change at any time!"
Seeing Li Yaxi leaning listlessly against the car window, I touched his forehead.
"What's wrong? Weren't you having fun with your friends? Are you not having any fun?"
Li Yaxi sighed, "Are people who are good-looking destined to be envied and looked down upon?!"
At a red light, Feng Zihao stopped and looked intently at the listless person.
"What happened? Who bullied you!"
Li Yaxi shook her head. "No, it's just that I feel it's unfair! It's not like I'm incapable, why should they only see my face? If I looked a little more mature and manly, that would be great!"
Feng Zihao found his thinking amusing. "Only incompetent people look down on others. Why bother with such people! Milk or juice? Something hot will make you feel better."
"Then let's have milk."
Feng Zihao parked his car on the side of the road and walked towards the convenience store.
Looking at Feng Zihao's retreating figure, Li Yaxi felt at ease.
No matter when, he will always be there when I need him. No matter what others say about me, he will always be there for me. I must be so lucky to have such a person!
