No sooner had he spoken than he was refuted, but it wasn't Li Xi, it was Lu Jingxuan.
"Madam, it's obvious that Xiaoxi doesn't welcome you and doesn't want to talk to you. Please leave."
Since Li Xi met him, she had never seen him lose his temper. He had always been gentle and respectful to others. This was the first time she had seen him like this.
Ye Zhiyu and Li Xi were both somewhat surprised.
Ye Zhiyu shrugged. "Okay, then I won't bother you. I'll leave." She left Li Xi with a meaningful look.
Lu Jingxuan frowned, immediately focusing on Li Xi's emotions. After all, the two seemed to have a close relationship, yet they were also at odds.
Are you alright?
Meeting his concerned gaze, Li Xi pursed her lips, feeling insecure for the first time since her rebirth. After all, Ye Zhiyu was so beautiful; what if what she had just done was merely a tactic to attract her...?
She lowered her head and asked, "Do you think what I did just now was inappropriate?"
Lu Jingxuan was very puzzled: "Why do you think that?"
“I don’t know what happened between you two. As your partner, I will naturally stand by your side without hesitation, instead of questioning you.”
Li Xi's eyes lit up. "Don't you think she's pretty?"
Lu Jingxuan nodded seriously, while Li Xi deflated. Sure enough...
Before she could even compose herself, she heard him say, "Everyone appreciates beautiful things or people, but that doesn't mean it will affect one's judgment."
If someone hurts their loved ones just because someone is good-looking, that person is incredibly shallow, heartless, and lacks any self-control.
Looking up again, Li Xi's eyes were filled with tears. "Thank you."
Lu Jingxuan panicked and wanted to wipe her tears, but because there were so many people around, he hesitated between wiping them and not wiping them, and for a moment he was flustered.
Seeing this, Li Xi burst into laughter through her tears.
"I'm fine. Do you know why I hate her?"
Ye Zhiyu, I'm sorry, I didn't want to provoke you, but you still insisted on appearing in front of me. So don't blame me for using you as a stepping stone.
Lu Jingxuan pretended to listen attentively.
"Two years ago, we were good friends, but after my boyfriend met her, he started siding with her in every way, and eventually broke up with me, so..."
"Actually, I don't blame her. Just like you said, it's too superficial to lose your judgment because of someone's appearance."
If Ye Zhiyu were here, he would probably admire Li Xi; her skill in distorting the truth is truly masterful.
Lu Jingxuan's face darkened for once. "Didn't that lady move away from that man just now?"
Li Xi lowered her eyes, looking somewhat disappointed: "She's always been the center of attention since she was little, so she probably doesn't realize it."
This is what the art of speaking is all about.
Is there anyone I can seduce?
I don't know. Many men pursue her, and she's used to it, so she doesn't think there's anything wrong with other men being attentive to her.
He didn't say a bad word about anyone, yet he made people speculate wildly.
"Will you hate me because of my past relationships?" She said this without looking at Lu Jingxuan, wishing she could shrink herself away.
"Xiaoxi, look at me." His voice was very serious.
Li Xi gently raised her head, but her eyes remained lowered.
Lu Jingxuan sighed and didn't press the matter. "It's not your fault that you met a bad person. If he doesn't cherish you, it's because he's blind. Don't be sad, trust me, okay?"
Li Xi was touched but secretly pleased, and nodded shyly.
Ye Zhiyu returned to Lin Qiqi and the others' side.
Tang Wenjing gave her a strange look. "Didn't you go to rest?"
Ye Zhiyu shook her head, not really wanting to get involved in their affairs, so she didn't say anything.
However, she underestimated Tang Wenjing's curiosity.
Looking along the route she came from, it turned out that the people on this side were on the other side, and without any obstruction, Li Xi and Lu Jingxuan's figures came into view.
Her eyes widened, her fingers trembling. "That, that, that's not..."
Ye Zhiyu pressed her hand down, "Don't worry about it."
Tang Wenjing covered her mouth and made "mmm" sounds, blinking her eyes incessantly. Lin Qiqi's gossipy face also came closer.
Ye Zhiyu sighed and led them to retreat ahead of schedule.
"So, Li Xi cheated on you and has someone else on the side?"
Tang Wenjing was making a ruckus, grabbing the soda bottle and chugging it down—it was so outrageous!
"No, back then she was so desperate to take Fu Tingshen away from you, how could she get tired of him so quickly this time?"
Ye Zhiyu shook her head: "It's not that he's tired of it, but that Fu Tingshen has no future. His parents' situation means he's destined not to achieve anything great in the future."
That's pretty realistic.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Li Xi, I wonder what she's pursuing? That guy just now, even though I only glanced at him, I could tell he had an extraordinary air about him. I wonder where Li Xi hooked up with him. Isn't she afraid of making things worse?"
Children from wealthy and powerful families, if well protected, may indeed be somewhat naive, but naivety is not stupidity.
"Let's just talk about this here and not spread it around, or we'll get ourselves into trouble."
Tang Wenjing and Lin Qiqi gave each other reassuring looks.
Besides, Li Xi's good days are probably over.
Fu Tingshen's aura was very bad today; judging from his appearance, he had probably been following Li Xi for some time.
Well, the wicked will be punished by the wicked.
As she was preparing to go back, Tang Wenjing and Lin Qiqi insisted on pulling her back to the dormitory, but the dormitory did not have a separate shower room.
Now that it's cold, going back and forth like this makes it easy to catch a cold.
She refused, and the three of them were at an impasse.
A brilliant idea struck him: "No one's home at my house. Why don't you come over and visit me?"
Lin Qiqi and Tang Wenjing exchanged a glance and exclaimed excitedly, "Great!"
Tang Wenjing had wanted to go for a long time, but Lu Chen was at home, so it wasn't convenient for her to come. She also didn't want to see him and ruin her mood when she was with Ye Zhiyu.
Having finally managed to get enough, she was determined to monopolize Ye Zhiyu for a few days.
They don't need to go back to the dorm to pack their things; they can bring them some spare items from home.
Ye Zhiyu was spoiled rotten by Lu Chen, so much so that she was too lazy to even ride a bicycle and would take the bus to school in the morning.
Compared to riding the bus alone in the morning, it was much more lively in the afternoon with two chatterboxes nagging in my ear.
"Wow, Ye Zhiyu, your house is so beautiful."
Upon entering, there was a pavilion on the left, with a swing nearby. Tang Wenjing ran over and beckoned Lin Qiqi to push her.
“I’ve always wanted this swing, but my house is an apartment building and there’s no space for it. I should have just gotten a detached house with a yard.”
The flowers that bloomed in the yard in summer have all withered, and the roses that covered the wall have also fallen, leaving only bare branches.
Logically speaking, this place looks quite dilapidated, but Ye Zhiyu's house has a unique charm.
"It's even more beautiful in the summer. Let's come back to see the flowers next year."
Ye Zhiyu took out her key, unlocked the door, and invited them inside.
"Wow, why is your house styled like this? I thought it was European."
