Can you please stop hating

Yu Xi didn’t have much of an appetite, but she had already made an appointment with Jin Zhuoxiao, so she didn’t want to break the appointment, and went out anyway.

It was windy these two days, and the whistling sound of the wind could be heard in the house. The night seemed to be colder than the afternoon. As soon as Yu Xi came out of the dormitory building, she was covered in the face by the cold wind.

She zipped up her cotton jacket to the top, buried her chin in her clothes, and quickly got into Jin Zhuoxiao's BMW.

Seeing this, Jin Zhuoxiao turned up the air conditioner and teased with a smile: "Are you so afraid of the cold?"

Yu Xi drooped her eyelids and hummed softly.

In fact, Yu Xi is not particularly afraid of the cold, she just has a cold body. It is not easy for her hands and feet to warm up in winter, so she pays more attention to keeping warm.

Jin Zhuoxiao: "The air conditioner is turned on very high, and the temperature will rise in a short while."

Yu Xi: “Yeah.”

The two went to a Shandong cuisine restaurant they had been to before. The food was delicious, and there were many customers at dinner time, so it was quite lively.

However, while waiting for the food, Yu Xi and the other person didn't say much. Compared with the guests next to them, their table seemed even more deserted.

Jin Zhuoxiao leaned his head and stared at Yu Xi for a while, then asked, "Are you unhappy because I forced you to come out for dinner?"

Yu Xi held the cup of hot water in both hands, looked up and said, "No."

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Why do I feel like you're not in a good mood?"

Yu Xi: "Your illusion."

Jin Zhuoxiao laughed: "You can still argue with me, it seems you are not that unhappy."

Yu Xi: “…”

You are such a jerk.

Jin Zhuoxiao said lazily: "If you really don't want to go out to eat, I can go to the school cafeteria with you."

Yu Xi was in a complicated mood: "Eat whatever you want, you don't have to accommodate me."

"What to eat is not the point," Jin Zhuoxiao looked at her teasingly, "I just want to eat with you."

Yu Xi looked away: "It's the same if I find someone else."

Jin Zhuoxiao: "You are my girlfriend, how can others be the same as you?"

Yu Xi's eyelashes fluttered, she looked at him and asked, "You haven't dated other girls?"

Jin Zhuoxiao looked at Yu Xi thoughtfully for two seconds, then curled his lips and said, "Yu Xixi, are you jealous?"

Yu Xi lowered her eyes: "You think too much."

Jin Zhuoxiao asked with great interest: "Then why do you suddenly ask me this question?"

Yu Xi pursed her lips. She seemed to have crossed the line. "It was just a casual remark. I won't ask any more questions."

Jin Zhuoxiao smiled: "Don't worry, no one can replace you in my heart."

Yu Xi did not respond. Jin Zhuoxiao was always good at saying sweet words, and she couldn't tell whether they were true or false.

Of course, whether it is true or not is not that important.

Although it was cold and Yu Xi didn't want to go out, she still had to go to work.

Saturday came again in a blink of an eye, and she couldn't help going out.

There was no major change in the cafe's business, but Yu Xi did not expect to meet Chen Wen and Tian Wei in the store.

Shortly after lunch break, the two came to the store. Tian Wei held Chen Wen's arm, and her cute look seemed very intimate.

Yu Xi stood behind the bar, looking at the two of them with a somewhat stiff body.

She didn't know how to face them, and for a moment she even had the urge to run away.

Chen Wen quickly recognized Yu Xi, his eyes and eyebrows were smiling, and his tone was as gentle as ever: "Xixi, are you working here now?"

Yu Xi clenched her fist and said, "Come and work part-time on weekends."

Tian Wei: "You can actually make coffee, that's amazing."

Yu Xi forced a smile and asked, "Would you like a flat white?"

Flat white is the coffee that Chen Wen often drinks.

Chen Wen: "Yes, flat white and caramel macchiato, take them away."

Yu Xi nodded: "Please find a seat and sit down first. It will be ready soon."

Chen Wen: “Okay.”

After Tian Wei pulled Chen Wen to sit next to her, Liu Meng came over and asked curiously, "Yu Xi, do you know them?"

Yu Xi was busy with the work at hand and nodded when she heard this.

Liu Meng: "Are they a couple? I feel like their personalities are quite different."

Yu Xi paused slightly and looked over.

It was unknown what Tian Wei was saying to Chen Wen, her expression was very exaggerated, while Chen Wen listened with a doting look in his eyes.

Yu Xi had never seen this kind of look before, and she already knew the answer.

Yu Xi lowered her gaze and said softly, "Yes."

After the coffee was packed, Chen Wen took Tian Wei to the bar.

He said to Yu Xi, "Xixi, let's have dinner together when you have time. I haven't formally introduced you to Tian Wei yet. By the way, she is my girlfriend now."

Tian Wei was a little shy, but you could tell she was happy.

Looking at this scene, Yu Xi didn’t know what mood she was feeling. She seemed very sad, but also seemed very peaceful.

She didn't want to face them right now, so she said, "I've been busy lately, let's wait until we have time."

Chen Wen naturally understood her hard work, nodded, and left with Tian Wei.

Looking at the two people's happy backs, Yu Xi felt empty in her heart, as if a good friend you have been playing with since childhood suddenly has a better friend and ignores you.

In the past, the first person Yu Xi thought of when she had trouble was Chen Wen, but now she doesn’t know who else she can turn to for help.

This feeling of helplessness existed for a long time after Yu Li left, but Chen Wen's presence weakened this feeling, and now it seems to have come back again.

When Tian Wei appeared, Yu Xi knew that she could no longer rely on Chen Wen as before. There are differences between men and women, and Chen Wen is not her biological brother after all.

But Yu Xi hasn't changed her mindset yet. It's not that she wants to be pretentious, but it seems that apart from Chen Wen, she really has no "relatives" around her.

Moreover, Chen Wen is one of the few old friends who is still in contact with Yu Li, and his meaning to Yu Xi is too complicated.

Except for Chen Wen, when Yu Xi talked about Yu Li with everyone else, it was as if they were talking about a non-existent person. Only Chen Wen and she shared the memory of Yu Li's existence, which made her feel that Yu Li was alive.

That's why Yu Xicai has been avoiding the issue of Chen Wen's love life, but now the fact has happened, she has to accept it even though she doesn't want to. It just takes some time to adapt.

Yu Xi's thoughts were as tangled as a ball of wool, and she couldn't make sense of them at all. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.

Yu Xi was in a depressed mood for the whole afternoon. After singing at SING in the evening, she did not leave immediately. She ordered some wine for herself and drank a lot without realizing it.

Zheng Fei kept someone keeping an eye on Yu Xi, and the waiters coming and going blocked several waves of customers who tried to chat her up.

When Jin Zhuoxiao arrived, Yu Xi was already completely drunk with tears on her face.

Seeing that she wanted to drink more, Jin Zhuoxiao stepped forward and snatched the glass, frowning and asking the waiter: "What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know," the waiter was also confused, "After singing, he just sat there drinking. It seems that he is in a bad mood."

Jin Zhuoxiao stared at Yu Xi for a while, then picked her up and carried her out the door.

Yu Xi was unconscious and speaking incoherent nonsense.

Jin Zhuoxiao put her in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and said, "Tell me if you feel like vomiting."

Yu Xi closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, not knowing whether she had heard anything or not.

Seeing this, Jin Zhuoxiao did not stop and drove her back to his home.

Yu Xi was relatively well behaved along the way, grumbling from time to time, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, nor did she vomit.

After arriving home, Jin Zhuoxiao first changed Yu Xi into pajamas. Seeing that she was not fully asleep yet, he took her to the bathroom to remove her makeup and wash up.

Yu Xi was quite obedient when she was drunk. Although her body was not very stable, she would do whatever she was asked to do.

After removing her makeup and brushing her teeth, Jin Zhuoxiao helped her wipe her face clean. It felt like taking care of a kindergarten kid, which was quite fun.

After Yu Xi finished cleaning up, Jin Zhuoxiao carried her back to bed, tucked in the quilt, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Yu Xi closed her eyes and breathed evenly. Seeing that she had fallen asleep peacefully, Jin Zhuoxiao took her pajamas and went to take a shower.

After washing, Jin Zhuoxiao went downstairs to pour a cup of warm water. He wanted to ask Yu Xi to get up and drink some, but he saw that she was frowning and kept saying something, as if she was sleeping very uneasily.

Jin Zhuoxiao thought Yu Xi was having a nightmare, so he picked her up and patted her back gently.

At this moment, Yu Xi suddenly hugged him tightly, muttering: "Brother Wen, Brother Wen, don't leave."
