Chapter 190 Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?
Xia Yi took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Well, I will be back in the team tomorrow. So, can we... be friends?"
Leng Yuexin smiled and nodded, responding gently: "Of course, but I am used to using a nickname outside, so you can call me Leng Yuexin."
Xia Yi smiled brightly and asked softly, "Can I call you Xinxin?"
Leng Yuexin smiled and replied: "Of course!"
Xia Yi cleared his throat and formally introduced himself: "Then let's get to know each other formally. My name is Xia Yi, Xia for summer, Yi for energetic."
After hearing Xia Yi's self-introduction, Leng Yuexin's thoughts seemed to drift back to the past. Xia Yi's smile, his gentleness, and the emotions he had spoken of all emerged in her mind one by one.
However, she knew that she couldn't get involved again. If she had an emotional entanglement with Xia Yi again, it would only make him experience the pain of not being able to love again.
So she tried hard to force a smile, stood up and said, "Nice to meet you, Xia Yi. Thank you for treating me to dinner, but I have some things to deal with, so I have to leave first. Goodbye!" After that, she turned around and was about to leave.
However, just as she took a step, Leng Yuexin's wrist was grabbed by a warm and firm force.
Xia Yi's voice sounded behind her: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Leng Yuexin didn't look back. She held back her tears and suppressed her slightly trembling voice: "I'm fine, I just have something urgent to deal with."
Xia Yi walked up to her, looked at her slightly red eyes, and asked gently: "Why are you crying?"
Leng Yuexin could no longer conceal her feelings. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Because... I suddenly thought of my fiancé. Although he has left me, I still can't forget him."
Xia Yi's heart sank, and he hugged Leng Yuexin distressedly, comforting her softly, "Forget him, he's not worth it."
Leng Yuexin leaned tightly in Xia Yi's arms, feeling the long-lost warmth and security.
Xia Yi's hand gently stroked her head, as if it could soothe all her pain.
But Leng Yuexin quickly came to her senses. She gently pushed Xia Yi away and said firmly, "I will never forget him. He is the only one I love in this life." After that, she turned and ran away.
Leng Yuexin was in a heavy mood, her thoughts were tangled like a mess of threads. She walked aimlessly and unknowingly came to a familiar shopping mall.
She went upstairs, walked around the Internet cafe, looked at Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu at the front desk from a distance, and then left quietly.
Then she came to the Moonlight Inn downstairs.
There are still a lot of customers here, and fortunately, there is an empty seat in the corner.
She walked over, sat down, and ordered a cup of coffee. She looked at the people passing by outside the window, and the laughter and chatter seemed out of tune with her.
Just as she was lost in thought, Andy came over with a cup of coffee and broke the silence with a smile: "I don't think I've seen you before. Is this your first time here?"
Leng Yuexin raised her head, a little surprised, but then smiled back: "Yes, this is my first time here."
Andy seemed very talkative. After putting down his coffee, he sat opposite Leng Yuexin and began to talk to her easily.
However, just as the two were chatting happily, Andy suddenly changed the subject and asked curiously, "Are you here to see Lu Cheng?"
Leng Yuexin looked at Andy doubtfully and asked puzzledly: "Why should I come to see him?"
Andy waved his hands excitedly and said, "It's okay! It's okay! You sit down for a while, I'll go take care of it."
After saying that, Andy stood up, walked quickly to Lu Cheng, lowered his voice but couldn't help but said to Lu Cheng excitedly: "Xiao Chengzi, you lose! I said she didn't come to see you on purpose."
After hearing this, Lu Cheng's face instantly turned gloomy and he looked in Leng Yuexin's direction angrily.
Leng Yuexin smiled slightly, still drinking her coffee leisurely, her eyes fixed on the passers-by coming and going outside the window.
She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice that someone had sat down opposite her.
When she raised her head inadvertently, she found that Lu Cheng was sitting opposite her with a sullen face.
Seeing that Leng Yuexin didn't say anything, Lu Cheng's desire to win was completely ignited. He couldn't help but ask, "You are deliberately trying to attract my attention, right?"
Leng Yuexin looked at Lu Cheng with pretended confusion and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
Lu Cheng frowned and responded angrily: "Stop pretending, I won't be fooled." After that, he got up and left.
Leng Yuexin smiled helplessly and continued to savor the coffee in her hand.
Andy seemed particularly interested in Leng Yuexin's arrival. Not long after, he sat back down opposite her and the two began a pleasant conversation.
Seeing Leng Yuexin and Andy chatting and laughing, Lu Cheng finally couldn't help himself and walked straight to Leng Yuexin and sat down.
Leng Yuexin turned her head slightly and looked at him in confusion, then turned to Andy and replied, "I don't have a formal job yet, but I plan to be a social worker."
After hearing this, Andy's eyes flashed with admiration: "Social worker? That's great. You are really great for contributing to society."
Leng Yuexin felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, and she explained: "Actually, I haven't started yet. I plan to wait for a while until everything is ready before doing it."
At this moment, Lu Cheng suddenly interrupted, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "There is no salary for being a social worker."
Leng Yuexin remembered what Lu Cheng had said before, and responded in the same tone: "It is my dream to do something meaningful for the society. I don't have to do everything for money, okay?"
Lu Cheng was choked speechless. He glared at Leng Yuexin and his face became even gloomier.
Leng Yuexin realized that her joke might have gone too far, so she stood up and said hurriedly: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Come here for coffee when you have time, bye!"
After saying that, she left Moonlight Inn in a hurry.
She had just walked to the roadside to wait for the bus, but unexpectedly, Lu Cheng chased her out of the store. He walked up quickly and asked in confusion, "Do you like Andy?"
Leng Yuexin shook her head slightly and said seriously: "No, I don't like him."
Lu Cheng's eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. He stared at Leng Yuexin and asked, "Are you trying to anger me on purpose?"
