"Well, that's quite a coincidence. I also really enjoy swimming. How about we go for a swim together sometime?"
We'll see.
Every day is just work, work, work, there's no mood to play.
However, it would be nice if she came back.
As soon as I hear news about her, I will immediately cancel all my work, find her, and spend all my time with her.
At this moment, the waiter brought in a series of delicious-looking dishes into the private room, temporarily interrupting the original conversation.
After the waiter pushed the cart out, only Xuan Mingyu and Lu Xinyao remained in the private room.
"Mingyu, you should try it. We ordered everything according to your preferences. I don't know if this restaurant's flavors will suit your taste."
Lu Xinyao got up and walked to Xuan Mingyu's side. She picked up a piece of tender chicken with the chopsticks she hadn't used and was about to put it in Xuan Mingyu's bowl when he directly used his own chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken from the whole plate and put it to his own mouth. "It's alright."
Lu Xinyao was still holding the chopsticks that were holding the chicken, looking slightly embarrassed.
Perhaps I was too hasty; he probably doesn't like being treated like that.
Lu Xinyao sat back down in her seat and ate the chicken that she had been holding with her chopsticks.
I've eaten this chicken at this hotel many times, but this time, it tasted bland.
Throughout the meal, Lu Xinyao tried hard to find topics to create a more intimate atmosphere and get to know Xian Mingyu better, but unfortunately, he remained as indifferent as ever.
He either gave a perfunctory response or simply replied with a few words, his face neither smiling nor serious, seemingly uninterested in any of the topics Lu Xinyao was discussing, and not even caring who was sitting across from him.
One hour away, almost there.
Lu Xinyao felt that if she didn't tell him what was on her mind, she might still chicken out if she had the chance to see him again.
Lu Xinyao put down her chopsticks, mustered all her courage, and said, "Mingyu, please look at me. I have something very important to tell you."
"Go ahead and tell me."
Xuan Mingyu knew without even thinking that it was just a few scattered young girls asking questions, so he answered them as usual.
"Mingyu, I like you. From the first moment I saw you at the art exhibition, from the very first word you spoke to me, I fell for you. I know you might not believe it, but I'm serious. I've never liked someone so intensely before. For the past few months, I've tried everything to find you, just to see you again. Regardless of whether you have a girlfriend now, I hope... you can give me a chance, let me into your heart..."
Before Lu Xinyao could finish speaking, Xuan Mingyu suddenly stood up from his seat, his expression becoming even more serious than before. Lu Xinyao quickly stood up as well.
"Mingyu, I..."
“Miss Lu, this dinner tonight is on me.” With that, Xian Mingyu turned to leave the private room, but before opening the door, he suddenly stopped, his back to Lu Xinyao. “Besides, I already have someone else in my heart, so Miss Lu doesn’t need to waste her time.” After saying that, Xian Mingyu turned the doorknob and left the private room.
"Someone else...someone else..." Lu Xinyao murmured these four words. How could this be? Her confession, which she had finally mustered up the courage to do, was rejected just like that.
This is the first time in my life that I've been rejected, and for such a reason.
Who is truly in his heart?
I will never give up like this. No matter who it is, one day I will find her and drive her out of his heart!
If you like someone, of course you should like her back! How can you let someone else have her?
***
These days, whenever Bai Xiaoruo has time, she goes to the old house of the Xuan family to visit the two elders, chat with them, and play chess with Grandpa Xuan. Each time, she goes back early so that her father won't scold her anymore.
Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen are becoming increasingly reliant on Bai Xiaoruo. If Bai Xiaoruo weren't a boarding student, they would be hoping she could visit them every day.
Bai Xiaofu has been very busy lately, going out early in the morning and returning late at night, often staying out all night. Naturally, she no longer cares where Bai Xiaoruo likes to go.
He would often get drunk in broad daylight and have to be brought home by his friends.
There were no classes in the afternoon, so Bai Xiaofu didn't go to school.
Not long after returning home, Bai Xiaofu drove Bai Minglei's new car, which he had just bought a few days ago, directly out of the garage.
Anyway, Dad has had this new car for almost a month and hasn't driven it much. It's a waste to leave it in the garage. I might as well take it out and show it off, and practice driving it.
You'll get used to it after driving a lot; whether you have a driver's license or not doesn't really matter.
On the busy road, Bai Xiaofu pressed the accelerator to its limit, running countless traffic lights without slowing down.
Across the street from K University.
The driver, Lao Zhao, took out the gift that the old lady had asked him to give to Bai Xiaoruo from the trunk of the car.
The old lady had just called, repeatedly urging him to personally deliver the gift to Miss Bai, and Old Zhao kept that in mind.
Taking out the gift box and closing the back door of the car, Old Zhao stood patiently in front of the zebra crossing, waiting for the green-headed figure on the other side of the street to light up.
The little green-headed figure lit up, and Old Zhao walked straight over.
At this time of day, there were only a few pedestrians on the road, and not many vehicles were passing by.
