Can you please stop hating

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhang Yichi asked, "What did you eat?"

"Double pepper beef noodles," Xue Haoyan paused and added, "Yu Xi said it was delicious, let me try it."

Yu Xi: “…”

Is that what you said at the time? Didn't you insist on coming?

Jin Zhuoxiao clenched his back teeth. Others might not know, but he knew clearly that Yu Xi really liked the noodles from this restaurant. They had eaten there together several times before.

Zhang Yichi: "Then let's eat this too. I'll go buy it."

When Zhang Yichi went to order food, Jin Zhuoxiao looked at Xue Haoyan and said lazily, "She has eaten with me several times. The noodles are quite spicy. I'm afraid you can't get used to it."

Yu Xi pursed her lips and curled her fingers. Why was this person saying this?

"Whether you are used to it or not, you should always try it," Xue Haoyan said, "If it doesn't work, then find something new. We have plenty of opportunities anyway."

"..."

Jin Zhuoxiao glared at Xue Haoyan with a cold face, and Xue Haoyan looked back at Jin Zhuoxiao with a smile. Although they didn't say a word, the atmosphere was tense.

Qiao Yining, an outsider, felt like sitting on pins and needles, and Yu Xi was even more suffocated. Liang Mo was probably the only one in the whole audience who was truly calm.

Lan Ying sensed that Xue Haoyan had something else in mind, so she asked tentatively, "What is your relationship with Yu Xi?"

Xue Haoyan looked at Lan Ying, raised the corners of his lips, and said naturally: "I'm pursuing her."

Lan Ying was stunned, and her dazed expression showed obvious surprise.

Yu Xi frowned when she heard this. When did this happen? Why did Xue Haoyan just say this?

"cough!"

When everyone was confused, a sudden cough drew everyone's attention to Qiao Yining.

Qiao Yining didn't expect Xue Haoyan to say such a thing in front of Jin Zhuoxiao. She choked on her saliva. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she explained awkwardly: "Ahem, I choked, ahem!"

Yu Xi asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, cough!"

Qiao Yining wanted to poke the straw she had just bought to smooth it out, but the straw seemed to be deliberately against her. Not only did it not poke a hole, but the tip was also bent.

"Cough cough!"

The more anxious he became, the more embarrassed he felt. Qiao Yining was about to cough out his lungs and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just then, a bony hand took the milk tea and straw from her hand and poked it in hard.

The milk tea wrapper was really strong. When Liang Mo poked it in, there was a loud noise, and it was obviously opened by sheer force.

Qiao Yining was quite surprised. Although he looked gentle and polite, he was actually quite strong.

Liang Mo opened the milk tea and handed it back to Qiao Yining.

Qiao Yining took it with a blushing face: "Thank you, thank you."

Liang Mo: "It's okay."

Qiao Yining took two big gulps, and his throat felt warmed. He was finally saved.

After this commotion, Lan Ying came to her senses. She looked at Xue Haoyan excitedly and asked, "Do you really like Yu Xi?"

Xue Haoyan: "Why would I lie to you?"

Yu Xi couldn't help but kick Xue Haoyan under the table and warned him with her eyes not to talk nonsense.

Xue Haoyan raised his eyebrows, looking doting.

From a third-person perspective, the two of them were flirting like a young couple, and it seemed like pink bubbles were about to appear.

Jin Zhuoxiao stared at Yu Xi with a gloomy face, his jaw was tense and veins on the sides of his neck were bulging.

He stood up suddenly, and the chair moved back and rubbed against the ground, making a harsh noise.

Everyone looked at him unconsciously, and Yu Xi was no exception.

Jin Zhuoxiao looked down at Yu Xi, his gloomy black eyes hiding obscure emotions, like a bottomless abyss, which made Yu Xi feel a little nervous.

He sneered and said sarcastically, "A fish that takes the bait willingly will only be eaten alive until nothing is left."

How could Yu Xi not hear the sarcasm in Jin Zhuoxiao's words? His eyes made her feel so embarrassed.

Yu Xi pursed her thin lips and her drooping eyelashes trembled.

The others were naturally confused, and Jin Zhuoxiao had no intention of explaining further. He glanced coldly at the pale-faced Yu Xi, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Lan Ying hurriedly caught up.

When Zhang Yichi came back, he saw two people leaving and asked, "Where are they going?"

Xue Haoyan: “I don’t know.”

Zhang Yichi was puzzled: "Not eating anymore?"

Xue Haoyan: "It's very likely that he won't eat it."

Zhang Yichi looked around and found the atmosphere was subtly silent. He stopped asking questions and just said, "Then I'll ask the store to make two fewer servings."

As soon as he left, no one spoke again and the atmosphere at the table became awkward.

Seeing Yu Xi lowering her head and looking unhappy, Qiao Yining asked in a low voice: "Yu Xi, are you okay?"

Yu Xi came back to her senses and loosened her grip, only to find that she had clenched her fist too hard, leaving marks on her palms from her nails.

She shook her head and said in a very soft voice, "It's okay."

"..."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yu Xi was in a bad mood, but everyone knew that now was not a good time to ask further questions, so they simply didn't mention it.

With Zhang Yichi around, the meal went relatively smoothly. We chatted and laughed a lot, and nothing unpleasant happened.

After the meal, Zhang Yichi and Liang Mo did not stay long. They simply said a few words and prepared to leave.

The moment Liang Mo stood up, Qiao Yining relaxed completely, but before she could relax for long, Liang Mo suddenly glanced at her.

Qiao Yining's body tensed up instantly, as if acupuncture points had been applied to his body.

Seeing this, Liang Mo's eyes behind the lenses flashed with teasing, and after turning around, the corners of his lips curled up in an almost invisible arc.

Only after watching the two people walk away did Qiao Yining feel completely relieved. She felt a little helpless. Her fear of Liang Mo was like a nature engraved in her bones. It was quite ridiculous.

"This noodle is indeed a bit spicy for me." Xue Haoyan said and took another sip of iced cola.

Yu Xi lowered her eyes and said calmly, "So you should just stay at Huawai and eat your meals. It's really a waste of time to go through all the trouble and still not be satisfied with the food."

Xue Haoyan: "If you don't like this, try something else. I don't believe there are no other delicious meals in your school."

"..."

Yu Xi was silent for two seconds and said, "It's up to you, but don't talk nonsense in front of others anymore."

Xue Haoyan: "Who said I was talking nonsense?"

Yu Xi frowned at him and said, "I don't want to fool around with you. If you continue like this, I will have to quit my part-time job as a tutor."

Qiao Yining felt very uneasy after hearing this conversation. She felt that it was a mistake for her to have dinner with Yu Xi today. She could only pretend to be looking at her phone seriously and try her best to reduce her presence.

Xue Haoyan looked at Yu Xi for a long time, curled his lips, and said in a pretentious and cheerful tone: "How ruthless."

Yu Xi looked at him and said seriously: "I'm not kidding you. If you want to make friends, then make friends. If you don't want to make friends, then don't contact me anymore."

"..."

There was silence again. Qiao Yining felt very nervous. It was so exciting to be in the front row and eat melons.

Xue Haoyan lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then said: "Let's be friends."

Yu Xi nodded, stood up and said, "We're done eating, let's go."
