Seeing Xu Yanfeng's half-smile, Xia Xi continued to talk nonsense: "I ordered sweet and sour pork ribs, do you want some?"
Xu Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, his eyes dropping to the mess on the floor. There was indeed sweet and sour pork ribs there: "You mean that?"
Xia Xi: “…”
She spoke without thinking, forgetting to be logical. One second she said that the plate was knocked over, and the next second she invited him to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs she made. She was so contradictory that it was obvious that what she said before was all nonsense.
Xia Xi scratched his forehead with his fingertips and laughed dryly: "Wait a moment, I'll go buy another one."
She first simply cleaned up the garbage on the ground, and then went to the window to buy food. Unfortunately, the sweet and sour pork ribs were sold out, and she didn't like the remaining dishes very much, so she had to go to another window and treat Xu Yanfeng to casserole noodles with a side dish of cold dishes.
Xu Yanfeng went over to help her serve it.
The two sat facing each other. Xia Xi handed him clean chopsticks and a spoon and began to confess, "I found out that the post was from Zhou Xiaoyu. I wanted to find a time to confront her and teach her a lesson. She's the one who provoked me time and time again and didn't know how to restrain herself. I happened to run into her in the cafeteria, and impulsively threw what I had on her... I only had the plate in my hand."
After she finished explaining, she lifted her eyelids and glanced at the person opposite her. He used chopsticks to pick up a large piece of beef from the casserole and handed it to her: "I came here just for this."
Xu Yanfeng took out his cell phone and played a surveillance video sent to him by the B&B owner.
Xia Xi stared at the screen intently. The camera angle was not good, so she only captured the man's profile. He was following her stealthily with his back hunched, raising his phone to take a secret photo of her. However, it was not difficult to recognize that the man was Zhou Xiaoyu.
She didn't wrong her.
Xia Xi pressed the lock screen button and returned the phone to Xu Yanfeng: "From the surveillance video, she really looks like a disgusting pervert. It's obvious that she loves you deeply and hates me to the bone."
Xu Yanfeng paused and looked at her expressionlessly: "Don't insult me."
Xia Xi smiled, picked up the noodles happily, blew on them with her pouty lips, and took a big bite. Together with the kelp and thousand sheets of silk, the taste was rich. "What's going on? The casserole noodles are more delicious than usual. It must be because you are here."
Across the 60-centimeter-wide dining table, Xu Yanfeng stretched out his finger and pressed it against her forehead, signaling her to stop teasing him. Then he told her the truth: "Actually, you don't have to be honest with me just now. I didn't see how you taught Zhou Xiaoyu a lesson. When I came, I only saw you talking to her, and then she ran away wiping her tears."
Xia Xi: “…”
I secretly cursed in my heart: Damn it, I acted like a lady in vain!
Xu Yanfeng wanted to say that she didn't need to play the role of a quiet lady in front of him. He already had an accurate picture of what she was like in his mind. However, since she might get angry if he said that, he held back.
Xia Xi's emotions faded as quickly as they came. In the blink of an eye, she forgot about her embarrassment. She glanced at Xu Yanfeng for a few times, lowered her head, and lowered her voice: "Today is Friday, I don't have classes this afternoon."
Xu Yanfeng knew her schedule. Without looking up, he slowly rolled the noodles in the casserole with his chopsticks, waiting for the temperature to drop slightly and become less scalding before taking a bite. His every move revealed good dining etiquette: "So?"
"So, did you still count when you invited me to stay at your apartment last night?"
Xu Yanfeng coughed softly: "Not in the afternoon, I have to go back to the company in the afternoon, I don't have time to accompany you..."
Just as a hint of disappointment appeared on Xia Xi's face, Xu Yanfeng immediately added the second half of the sentence: "You can do it in the evening." He also spoke in a very low voice, and no one else could hear it except them.
"Asshole." Xia Xi laughed.
She had no idea how many eyes were staring at them in the cafeteria, and how many topics were centered around them.
"Xu Yanfeng rarely comes to school anymore. He probably came here specifically for Xia Xi, worried that she would be wronged."
"Of course. Didn't you see he's wearing a shirt and trousers, very formal? He's here for work."
"Although I don't know what they were talking about, the atmosphere was really good. Did you just see Xu Yanfeng pick up some food for Xia Xi and touch her forehead? No wonder Zhou Xiaoyu turned dark and crazy, I was almost jealous! No, I was just joking."
"How funny! Did you notice that when Xia Xi was facing Zhou Xiaoyu head-on, she was like a female warrior with all her skills activated. But as soon as she turned around and saw Xu Yanfeng, her demeanor immediately changed, and she looked shy."
"Hahaha, I saw that too. What a huge contrast."
"Friends, the post on Tieba has been deleted. What does this mean? It was definitely Zhou Xiaoyu who did it."
"Xia Xi must have said she was going to call the police and ask them to investigate, so Zhou Xiaoyu got scared. If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have done it in the first place."
After seeing Xu Yanfeng off, Xia Xi was on her way back to the dormitory when she learned from Zhao Lei that Zhou Xiaoyu had deleted the post. It seemed that she was not stupid.
*
Xia Xi didn't have that much energy to devote to someone like Zhou Xiaoyu. She was overjoyed when she thought about her date with Xu Yanfeng in the evening.
She forced herself to calm down and read for a while. As the sun set, she began to dress and changed into a black suit, a vest-style top and an accordion skirt. Under the vest, she wore a thin white bottoming shirt with a circle of wood ear lace on the cuffs. Her long hair was loose, and a discreet amber clip was pinned to the side of her ear.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Xia Xi was very satisfied and went out with her bag.
Not knowing what time Xu Yanfeng got off work, she didn't ask and went straight to the community where he lived.
Last time she told Xu Yanfeng about the security guard stopping her from entering, he gave her the access card. As for the apartment door lock password, she also knew it. She entered it herself, and the door popped open with a "click".
