On Friday afternoon, we agreed to have dinner at the same restaurant as last time.
Xia Xi had a full day of classes, so Xu Yanfeng waited for her to finish her last class and drove her there.
In the car, Xia Xi told him about Liang Yuan and Zhou Du: "The three of us have known each other since we were little. We went to kindergarten together, elementary school, middle school and high school together. We were lucky enough to go to university in the same city."
Xu Yanfeng listened carefully and asked an abrupt question: "Does Zhou Du have a girlfriend?"
"No." Xia Xi misunderstood and smiled, saying, "Do you want to introduce him to someone? He has high standards and is very picky. Most girls are not in his eyes. As far as I know, many girls pursued him but he ignored them."
Xu Yanfeng glanced at her distractedly, his voice a little distant: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Xia Xi lowered her head and sent a message in the group, asking where Liang Yuan and Zhou Du were. She replied to Xu Yanfeng, "You'd better not introduce him to them. He probably won't appreciate it."
"He's very good to you."
Xia Xi paused while typing, finally tasting a hint of something different from his flat voice. She shifted her gaze to the side of his face, studying him for a few seconds. "Hiss, I'm saying, you're not...jealous, are you? Really? Really?"
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Xu Yanfeng was jealous. This was so rare. If this was true, she would definitely set off firecrackers to celebrate.
However, Xu Yanfeng denied it firmly and without any leaks: "No."
Xia Xi pouted.
"He's very good to me, that's because..." Xia Xi stopped talking mid-sentence, not intending to continue because the truth was a bit heavy. "It's nothing, we grew up together, so naturally we have a special relationship."
Xu Yanfeng's eyes darkened, but he was looking straight ahead and was not seen by Xia Xi.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Liang Yuan and Zhou Du were already waiting in a private room. Last time, they were in the mood for gossip, but this time, it was different. Liang Yuan sat silently, his arms folded across his chest, his expression remarkably cold. Zhou Du sat lazily, half leaning against the armrest of his wooden chair, his chin resting on his hand.
Neither of them touched the tea on the table. The tea smoke curled up, fresh and elegant.
As soon as Xu Yanfeng entered the door, he felt the slightly depressing atmosphere.
Before Xia Xi could speak, he introduced himself first: "Nice to meet you, Xu Yanfeng."
Liang Yuan straightened his back even more, and with a straightened posture, he uttered a cold "huh" and said sarcastically, "I've heard a lot about you. It's really not easy to meet you. I almost thought I would have to visit you three times."
This was the second time. If something went wrong again, wouldn't he have to come back three times? She didn't wrong him.
Xia Xi covered her lips and burst out laughing. Liang Yuan was usually cheerful and friendly to everyone, always keeping the atmosphere lively. This was unusual, and she found it quite refreshing, so she didn't disrupt it, allowing her to continue.
Liang Yuan wasn't satisfied with acting alone, so she asked Zhou Du to partner with her. Zhou Du had originally been reluctant to interfere in Xia Xi's relationship, lest it create unnecessary misunderstandings and harm her, but Xu Yanfeng's sudden departure had truly infuriated him. He later called Xia Xi, but she didn't elaborate, simply explaining that she and Xu Yanfeng had had a minor disagreement and that they had already sorted it out.
He felt that things were not that simple.
Don't be fooled by Xia Xi's shrewd look. She just started dating the person she likes and is in the upper echelon of love. She is easily blinded and is covering for Xu Yanfeng.
Therefore, he and Liang Yuan hit it off immediately and did not intend to treat Xu Yanfeng well.
"Who said it wasn't? I'm actually very curious. What urgent matter happened last time that made Young Master Xu go outside the box and then leave? We called you but you didn't respond, you didn't answer the phone or reply to the message, and we ran after you without even having a meal. Come, let's take this opportunity to tell you about it." Zhou Du took a sip of tea, his aura more imposing than Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan was completely stunned, looking at Zhou Du's intimidating and arrogant face with envy and admiration. Why couldn't she act out this kind of pressure? She needed more practice.
Xu Yanfeng looked at Xia Xi, who shrugged, indicating that she could do nothing to help. She had long guessed that the two of them would protect her and attack Xu Yanfeng.
This is a hurdle he has to overcome, and he has to solve it himself.
This is a good opportunity to let him know that she has someone backing her up, so don't try to bully her in the future.
Liang Yuan coughed and said with a stern face: "Don't look at Xixi."
Xu Yanfeng felt as if he was meeting the parents. He said slowly, "What happened last time was my fault. I apologize to you." He poured himself a cup of tea, using it instead of wine. "Xia Xi and I had a misunderstanding at the time."
Zhou Du knocked on the table, asking him to explain: "What misunderstanding?"
Xia Xi interrupted: "There's no need to tell us this, it's our secret."
Zhou Du squinted his eyes at her: "You dare to give you the cold shoulder in front of us, who knows what you'll do behind our backs..."
"No, no, no." Xia Xi denied repeatedly, and in case they overacted and hurt her feelings, she quickly changed the subject, "I've been in classes all afternoon, and I'm starving. Let's eat."
She called the waiter and ordered a bunch of dishes. Food is the most important thing for people, and with food as a bridge, the atmosphere finally became less tense than it had been at the beginning.
Zhou Du disliked Xu Yanfeng, and coincidentally, Xu Yanfeng also had some grudges against him. Overall, the meal was not very harmonious.
Liang Yuan is a fan and an absolute face control. Except for the fact that he acted coldly when Xu Yanfeng first came in, it didn't take long for him to fall in love with his handsome face that was so handsome from a close distance. He asked him all kinds of questions, such as how he maintained his looks.
Xu Yanfeng's expression was as if frozen, and he couldn't answer for a long time. Considering that she was Xia Xi's best friend, he didn't give a perfunctory answer and said seriously: "I don't do any special maintenance. I just use ordinary cleaning products."
