Chapter 219 Fear of Backfire
At first, Jiang Xilin was driving their car, and Shen Congyu was paying attention the whole time. During this time, she apologized to Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi was driving the car and asked her, "Why are you saying this to me?"
"Because it was you who asked me out to play."
Now that there are more people, mainly Jiang Xilin, she feels a little embarrassed towards Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi smiled and said, "It's okay. They're your friends, and I know them all. You letting me interact with your friends is a sign of recognition for me, right?"
Chen Congyu pursed her lips and said, "I'm glad you don't mind. I don't want to affect your mood."
"I should be the one saying this, because you're finally getting some rest, so stop overthinking it."
Being with Yuan Qi, he gives a lot of emotional value.
This made Shen Congyu feel a little more relaxed.
Passing by a gas station on the way, they rested for a while, then Shen Congyu and Xue Mingrui went shopping and took the time to send a message to Jiang Xilin.
She asks him why he wanted to come.
Even if he finally had some free time, Chen Congyu didn't think he would arrange it this way.
Jiang Xilin replied: [I came whenever I wanted to. Don’t you want to see me?]
Can Shen Congyu tell the truth?
She just said: [I just didn't expect it, and you didn't tell me in advance.]
If I tell you in advance, will you agree to come?
Now it was Shen Congyu's turn to remain silent.
But in fact, these are not the most important things. She is just not sure whether Jiang Xilin will be unhappy.
Because Yuan Qi was very enthusiastic about her.
With Jiang Xilin's petty mind, Chen Congyu was still worried that something unexpected would happen.
So after hesitating for a moment, Shen Congyu still asked him: [Yuan Qi is my friend now, I'm going out to play during the holidays, don't be unhappy. ]
Jiang Xilin responded quite quickly this time, "You already said I'm your friend. If I'm unhappy, won't you argue with me again?"
Chen Congyu pondered over his meaning, and then he would not be unhappy.
She finally replied: "Since we're all out here to have fun, let's have fun."
Because of Jiang Xilin's previous behavior, Shen Congyu would rather he didn't say anything now and would settle the score with her later.
So no matter what he said now, she had to make it clear first.
When they arrived at the seaside hotel, since Chen Congyu and Yuan Qi's rooms had been booked by Yuan Qi long ago, Jiang Xilin had to book a room for him and Xue Mingrui separately.
Yuan Qi pulled Shen Congyu's suitcase and said to Jiang Xilin, "Brother Jiang, let's go up first."
He had a very good attitude and was almost always smiling when he spoke, but every word he said to Jiang Xilin made Xue Mingrui inexplicably observe Jiang Xilin's reaction.
I don’t know if she thinks too much about people, but she always feels that everything Yuan Qi says is not that simple.
Jiang Xilin took back his ID and looked at him indifferently, "You don't have to tell me everything."
"How can that be possible? I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you well enough."
Jiang Xilin also smiled: "I should be more familiar with her than you are, so I don't need you to entertain me."
Chen Congyu seized the opportunity and stepped forward to stand between the two of them, interrupting their conversation.
She said to Yuan Qi, "Let's go upstairs and put our luggage first."
Then he turned to look at Jiang Xilin and forced a smile.
This smile meant that he should not bother with Yuan Qi.
Jiang Xilin looked at her without any emotion.
After they left, Xue Mingrui scratched his chin and said, "Brother Jiang, if you have something to do later, I'll go with them. I'll tell you if there's anything."
"No, I don't have anything to do today."
Jiang Xilin suddenly turned around and smiled at Xue Mingrui.
Xue Mingrui had nothing more to say.
The room was booked and was on the same floor as the one Yuan Qi had booked before.
Xue Mingrui put down his things and went to find Chen Congyu. He finally had the opportunity to avoid Jiang Xilin and talk to him alone.
Today, Xue Mingrui has been maintaining a vigilant attitude.
She explained to Shen Congyu why she brought Jiang Xilin along.
Shen Congyu was of course aware of Jiang Xilin's style of doing things. Even if he didn't come with Xue Mingrui, as long as he wanted to come, he had many reasons.
She couldn't refuse.
"It's okay, he came as he pleased, I didn't do anything anyway."
Xue Mingrui: "Actually, I'm a little worried about Yuan Qi. What if he wants to use this opportunity to get closer to you? But this time he's in front of Brother Jiang, so I'm really afraid it will backfire."
Chen Congyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll find a chance to talk to them alone. It should be fine."
She knows how to act in moderation. Besides, she and Yuan Qi are friends now. There is no reason for Jiang Xilin to stop her from making friends.
It was still quite early, so they packed up quickly and went to the restaurant to eat together.
The temperature was still a little high at noon, there were not many people on the beach, and it was not suitable for going into the water, so they ate lunch leisurely in the restaurant.
The entire floor-to-ceiling glass allows you to see all the beautiful scenery of the seaside clearly. The scenery is great and there are few people. Just staying here makes you feel relaxed.
The four of them were also together during the meal. Xue Mingrui specifically asked to sit next to Shen Congyu, so in the end the four of them sat facing each other, with Yuan Qi sitting opposite Shen Congyu.
He paid close attention to what Shen Congyu liked to eat and what she didn't like to eat. Of course, in front of other people, he would not ignore them just to talk to Shen Congyu.
Even Xue Mingrui felt that his attitude was too good. Although he and Zhou Zhou had always been at odds before, to be honest, he was more down-to-earth than Zhou Zhou when it came to getting along with them.
Xue Mingrui thought so, took a sip of juice, and his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Jiang Xilin.
There is nothing wrong with what they said and did.
Then, while eating, Yuan Qi said to Shen Congyu, "Sister, is this dish not as delicious as the one I made?"
Chen Congyu tasted it carefully and said, "It seems to be a little worse."
Jiang Xilin suddenly said: "It seems that your cooking skills are quite good."
Yuan Qi: "It should be pretty good. My sister came to my house for dinner last time, so she knows."
So Jiang Xilin turned his gaze directly to Chen Congyu, waiting for her answer.
The food in Shen Congyu's mouth almost choked her.
"Yuan Qi is indeed a good cook."
Jiang Xilin smiled faintly, "I really didn't expect it."
Yuan Qi: "If I have the chance, I can make it for you guys to try."
He introduced enthusiastically, "The main reason was that I didn't expect it at first. I bought a house a long time ago and it's in the same neighborhood as my sister. It's so close, so I treated my sister to dinner when I was free."
"Really? What a coincidence."
After Jiang Xilin said this, he suddenly regretted paying all the remaining money for Shen Congyu's house.
His gaze always fell on Shen Congyu's face vaguely. After that, he didn't say much and didn't eat much.
At the dinner table, Yuan Qi seemed to have a lot of topics to talk about with the two of them, and he never stopped.
Even Xue Mingrui was concentrating on chatting with him, not to mention Chen Congyu.
