"I don't really like European styles, this one is fine."
Ye Zhiyu brought over two glasses of water and placed them in front of them.
Tang Wenjing nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, that's amazing! I want my future home to be like that too."
Lin Qiqi picked up her water glass, took a sip, and fixed her gaze on a patch of plants over there.
Excitedly, she ran over and exclaimed, "Zhiyu, you're still growing flowers indoors?"
"It makes me feel good, and it also helps purify the air."
Over there is a floor-to-ceiling window that Ye Zhiyu had made; sunlight streams in without affecting plant growth.
Tang Wenjing's eyes gleamed. "Zhiyu, you're so talented! How did you guys come up with this idea?"
This view provides a perfect angle to the garden outside, making it especially beautiful in spring.
Having a cup of tea here in the afternoon would be so pleasant, though it might be a bit hot in the summer.
"To be honest, do you and Lu Chen often come here?"
When she asked this question, Ye Zhiyu was shocked. Are people really this open-minded nowadays?
Tang Wenjing blushed a little after asking the question, but she still wanted to satisfy her gossipy little desires.
Ye Zhiyu rolled her eyes at her and went to rummage through the refrigerator. "It's a French window, we're not that open-minded."
What should we have for dinner?
Tang Wenjing and Lin Qiqi exchanged knowing smiles and followed behind her, accepting the vegetables she offered.
"Don't change the subject. The floor-to-ceiling windows are nice, but no one is saying you can't draw your curtains."
Ye Zhiyu practically buried her head in the refrigerator; her face was burning hot and she desperately needed the refrigerator to cool it down.
They had made a scene on the first floor the day Lu Chen left, and even now, the thought of it still makes their faces burn.
He took cabbage, meat, and eggs from the refrigerator and stuffed them into their arms.
"Shut up and hurry up and prepare the vegetables, or you'll go hungry tonight."
Lin Qiqi winked at Tang Wenjing and said in a affected manner, "Oh, Jingjing, look at Zhiyu, so shy."
Tang Wenjing wiggled her hips, swaying back and forth: "Sigh, Lu Chen isn't home, so you take it out on us."
Ye Zhiyu pretended to be angry and embarrassed, and picked up the back of the sofa and hit them.
Lin Qiqi and Tang Wenjing ran towards the kitchen laughing, shouting, "Oh dear, we've caught you!"
"I won't dare again, I won't dare again."
Three women make a drama, chattering away and making quite a scene. With each of them talking, they finally managed to cook the meal.
Spicy and sour cabbage, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried greens, and tomato and egg.
Each person had a bowl of rice and ate their fill.
After dinner, they would sit, lie down, or sprawl out in the living room to watch TV.
Ye Zhiyu wasn't interested in television, but the other two were thoroughly enjoying it.
In the end, if Ye Zhiyu hadn't reminded me to get up early the next day, I would have stayed up until the next morning.
When Li Xi returned home again, she desperately wanted to break up with Fu Tingshen. Lu Jingxuan was like a gift from God, but he came too late. If it had come earlier, she would not have been so attached to Fu Tingshen.
Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door, and there was Fu Tingshen still busy in the kitchen.
A sumptuous dinner was laid out on the table. The man brought out the food and invited her to sit down.
Fu Tingshen was much quieter today than the previous two days. He didn't speak, and Li Xi was even less likely to speak, as she was preoccupied with how to break up with him.
For a moment, there was only the slight clattering of bowls and chopsticks.
Finally, as the two put down their chopsticks, Fu Tingshen asked curiously, "Where did you go with your friends today? I couldn't find you after school."
"It's that newly opened billiards hall. A few of us girls want to check it out."
Fu Tingshen nodded nonchalantly and turned to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Nothing happened that night. Li Xi was woken up by her biological clock. There was no one beside her, and the bed was cold, indicating that its owner had gotten up very early.
Stepping out of the bedroom, Li Xi saw Fu Tingshen leisurely eating breakfast. She felt a moment of disorientation; how long had it been since she had properly looked at him?
But it doesn't matter anymore. I tidied myself up, grabbed a steamed bun from the table as a token gesture, and was about to leave.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to wait for me, Xiaoxi?"
Fu Tingshen's gentle voice sounded behind her, the voice was hollow and soft, as if it were far away from her.
A sudden surge of panic welled up inside me, and I instinctively reached out and pressed down.
After calming down, he said without turning his head, "Something urgent has come up, I have to go."
They're not even willing to make up excuses anymore.
The moment I grabbed the doorknob, I heard a whooshing sound, followed by a sharp pain in the back of my head. My mind went blank, and then I was plunged into darkness.
Before she completely lost consciousness, something like a stick was thrown to the ground, and a man's sigh came from the air: "I gave you three chances, Xiaoxi."
Lu Jingxuan waited expectantly at the entrance of Peking University, holding a wrapped sunflower in his hand, his eyes scanning around, trying to find his special someone among the crowd.
Time passed slowly, the peak period for entering the school was over, and the crowds of people dwindled, but the person he was waiting for still hadn't appeared.
As time passed, he raised his arm to check his watch more and more often, and couldn't help but start pacing, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
Ye Zhiyu and her two companions got off the bus and immediately saw this man who was clearly dressed up meticulously.
It seems Li Xi stood him up.
Tsk…
You say Li Xi is amazing, right? After her rebirth, she put all her eggs in one basket with one man. If only she had put in a little effort and had some understanding of what was to come, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
And even now, she still wants to rely on men to give her wealth and status.
You might say she's nothing special, but she manages to win over many men who seem decent to outsiders.
Especially this one, Ye Zhiyu judged that this man's family background was probably not simple.
But it has nothing to do with her.
Lu Jingxuan waited in the same spot for another hour, by which time the sunflowers had already been placed on the bicycle.
Why isn't Xiaoxi here yet? Did something come up? Or did she change her mind?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he shook his head violently. No, he could feel Xiao Xi's feelings for him.
Could something unexpected have happened?
Thinking this, he could no longer restrain himself, so he got on his bicycle and rode towards the place where he remembered taking Li Xi home.
Upon arriving at that area, Lu Jingxuan was lost. Li Xi had only ever asked him to take him to this intersection, and he didn't know where it was any closer.
Helpless, he got off his bicycle and walked around asking for directions, but even though he knew the neighbors well, there were too many people, and Li Xi and Fu Tingshen's wedding was not a big affair.
She then returned to the Red Flag Brigade. After returning to the city, she quickly entered a school. Recently, at Fu Tingshen's request, she went home. So, unless they live very close or are relatives, it would be very difficult for anyone to know her.
Perhaps mentioning Fu Tingshen's name would be more effective than mentioning hers.
Just when Lu Jingxuan was about to give up, an elderly woman patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey young man, are you looking for Li Xi?"
Lu Jingxuan's eyes lit up. "Yes, Auntie, do you know where she lives?"
