"After listening to you tell the story, it sounds really fun!" Cai Jingya's interest was piqued.
"Fun?"
Fang Xue gave Cai Jingya a disapproving look, then smiled wryly and said, "That's because you're just listening to me. You can treat it as a story, so naturally you find it funny. If you were in my shoes back then, you wouldn't find it funny at all. You'd be lucky if you didn't get so angry you died."
"That's true, that guy can be really despicable when he gets angry."
Cai Jingya agreed with Fang Xue's words.
While the two were chatting, they didn't eat lunch, so they ordered some dishes during that time.
Not long after Fang Xue finished speaking, the dishes were served.
Looking at the table full of dishes in front of her, Cai Jingya asked in confusion, "These dishes weren't ordered by the two of you here back then, were they?"
Fang Xue nodded.
Cai Jingya opened her mouth slightly, unsure of what to say.
But seeing that Fang Xue was clearly getting better, she stopped complaining.
During the meal.
The restaurant's general manager began his inspection.
After a quick tour of the first floor and finding nothing amiss, we proceeded to the second floor.
Shortly after reaching the second floor, the general manager paused, looking towards the window with a puzzled expression.
Upon seeing that somewhat familiar figure, the general manager instinctively walked towards it.
"Xue'er, actually, after listening to what you just said, there's a question I really want to ask you."
Cai Jingya asked curiously, biting her chopsticks.
"What's the problem?"
Fang Xue put down her chopsticks, took out a tissue, and gently wiped her mouth.
"So...do you like Luo Chen?"
Fang Xue froze, her body stiff, stunned and bewildered as to why Cai Jingya would ask such a question.
Cai Jingya rested her chin on one hand and pointed at Fang Xue with the other chopstick.
"Don't be surprised that I would ask this. It's just that when you talk about Luo Chen, a smile will unconsciously appear on your lips. Even if you keep saying that he is hateful and bad and makes you look bad, your expression will change when you talk about him. I think this is because you are just too obvious."
"Jingya, what nonsense are you talking about?" Fang Xue was no longer calm.
She was flustered and fearful: "How could I like him? I could never like him. I only mentioned him because he is so awful. He is the only one who keeps embarrassing me and making me feel bad."
"Yeah."
Cai Jingya put down her chopsticks and smiled mischievously: "I've been trying to comfort you about how you were before, but you haven't changed at all. It's just that Luo Chen thing that has made you recover. If it weren't for liking him, how could you have changed so much?"
"Xue'er, if you like someone, then say it. If you keep it in your heart, no one will know, and no one can understand your thoughts. After all, Luo Chen was the one who pursued you all along."
"Kyoya, you seem to have misunderstood something."
After hearing Cai Jingya's words, Fang Xueyuan's emotions began to calm down. As if she had thought of something, she said self-deprecatingly, "Luo Chen has never liked me. The reason he pursued me was only for other reasons."
The previous pursuit and the sycophantic behavior were just part of the storyline; that wasn't true affection.
Whatever happened between him, there was no way I could like him.
Originally, she was uncertain.
But that night, during my last meeting with Luo Chen, I understood everything when he said those words before leaving.
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart? So my answer isn't very important to you."
Yes, that was his answer.
It was all just a necessity, for the sake of the plot.
How can I say I like it?
Seeing Fang Xue's disappointed look, Cai Jingya realized that she had said the wrong thing.
When you want to offer comfort.
But the general manager walked over.
"Miss Fang, is that you?"
Hearing the sound, Fang Xue turned her head to look.
Upon seeing that it really was Fang Xue, the general manager smiled and said, "It really is you! Long time no see."
"Long time no see," Fang Xue replied politely.
I have a very good impression of the general manager. Although there was a misunderstanding at the time, we got along quite well afterwards.
"Ms. Fang, are you here for dinner with a friend today?"
"Yes," Fang Xue nodded.
"oh."
The general manager greeted Cai Jingya.
Then, his gaze fell on the table, and looking at the dishes, the general manager smiled and said, "Ms. Fang, is your boyfriend here too?"
There was so much food on the table that the two girls couldn't finish it all; there must have been other people too.
"Boy friend?"
Cai Jingya looked at Fang Xue in surprise.
Fang Xue knew that the general manager had misunderstood.
"He didn't come, and he's not my boyfriend."
The general manager paused for a moment, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought he was your boyfriend because he was so nice to you, Miss Fang."
Fang Xue did not speak.
Just then, a sound came from the stage on the first floor.
I heard a slightly frivolous rhythm.
The general manager said, "Ever since your friend sang this song on stage last time, all the guests who come here like to request it. Although this song was specially sung for you by your friend as a birthday gift, the guests love to listen to it, so we arrange for a resident singer to perform it from time to time."
Fang Xue nodded, saying nothing, but simply listening.
Although the resident singer had good singing skills and a good voice, I inexplicably thought of Luo Chen and realized that there was still a gap between the two.
The other person couldn't sing the feeling she wanted to hear.
Cai Jingya listened quietly, looking somewhat surprised.
I never expected Luo Chen to sing such a frivolous song. No wonder Fang Xue said that Luo Chen was petty and was flirting with everyone in front of them.
Given Fang Xue's thick skin, it's quite an achievement that she can even stand there.
Cai Jingya couldn't help but smile.
Luo Chen is truly an interesting person.
After the song "Hi, Miss" ended, the resident singer left the stage amidst applause from the guests.
Fang Xue withdrew her gaze, lost in thought.
The general manager looked at Cai Jingya with a puzzled expression.
Cai Jingya helplessly shrugged, indicating that she had no other choice.
"Miss Fang, is something on your mind?"
"Don't take offense at my nosy, but as someone who's been through this, I might be able to help you with your worries."
"I'm fine." Fang Xue shook her head, a slight smile appearing on her face.
I just heard that song and I felt inexplicably down. I don't know why, but I just felt a little sad.
"Ms. Fang, is it because of something related to your relationship?"
Seeing Fang Xue's appearance, the general manager, being an experienced person, could tell at a glance.
Fang Xue looked at the general manager, wanting to deny it, but remained silent.
Seeing this, the general manager smiled and said, "Although I don't know which lucky boy you're so concerned about, he must have something you like about him. Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between you. If you clear up this misunderstanding, it might just be that you're both jealous of each other."
