Chu Xi turned around after hearing the footsteps and saw that it was Lin Xinran. His cold expression finally softened a bit: "Why are you here?"

Lin Xinran walked slowly to her side and took Chu Xi's arm in the confused and somewhat jealous eyes of the pretty girl.

She did not answer Chu Xi's question immediately, but looked at the girl with red eyes. After seeing the obvious displeasure, irritability and grievance in her eyes, she had some guesses in her mind.

"I heard some noise here after I finished my work, so I came out to see what happened."

Chu Xi was silent for a second: "Nothing, just..."

"Who are you? Who are you to her?"

Chu Xi was interrupted by a choked and strong female voice when he was halfway through his words.

Lin Xinran looked up and fixed his gaze on her again.

The girl rudely pushed away her friend who was trying to comfort her, raised her hand and pointed at Lin Xinran, staring at her delicate features with tearful eyes, and jealousy surged in her heart:

"Let go of your hand! She hates it most when someone touches her. Besides, who are you to her? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The atmosphere at the scene instantly turned cold, even more awkward than before.

Lin Xinran pulled Chu Xi to sit on the sofa without changing her expression, raised her hand to pour herself a cup of tea, and said softly, "Sit down."

This light word made the people present even more confused about the current situation. They looked at each other, but finally listened to her and sat on the sofa.

But the way they sat was very particular. The three boys sat together, while the other two girls sat on the sofa on the other side, with a small distance between them.

Chu Xi took a deep breath and waved casually: "You can eat and drink as you like. We have been friends for so many years, don't worry about these."

A 1.9-meter-tall boy with a buzz cut nodded, picked up three bottles of drinks from the table and handed them to the brothers around him: "Then we won't be polite."

Chu Xi gave them a look that said "whatever you want to do", and then spoke again: "Liu Tingting, I told you very clearly when we graduated from high school. I don't like girls, and I'm not gay. If you keep pestering me like this, I don't mind calling the police."

Liu Tingting swallowed her saliva and clenched her hands tightly. Because she used too much force, her joints began to turn slightly white and her eyes turned red again.

"I... I'm sorry Chu Xi, I just missed you too much... I didn't mean to disturb you, I just came to see you..."

"I didn't mean to disturb me, so why did you enroll in the same school as me, study the same major, and even come to my house?"

"I...I just watched you from a distance, I didn't think..."

Lin Xinran put down the teacup, and the cup and the table collided with each other, making a crisp sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet living room.

"Liu Tingting?"

Liu Tingting hadn't reacted yet. She looked over with dazed eyes and cried, "It's... it's me. What's wrong?"

Lin Xinran carefully looked at her again, and didn't see any similarity between her and Liu Qingqing, so he put aside his guess. He raised his lips slightly and said softly, "Chinese people always pay attention to guests. You took great pains to come here, and stood for so long, but didn't even drink a sip of tea. Come, try it, it's freshly brewed."

She stood up, bent down slightly, took a new teacup, poured a cup of tea, placed it in front of her, and raised her hand to signal her to taste it.

Liu Tingting picked up the teacup, and the temperature of the teacup flowed straight into her heart along her fingertips. A hint of doubt flashed across her slightly red eyes, but she still picked up the cup and took a sip as if to challenge.

The cold, bitter taste of tea flowed down her throat into her heart, making her limbs cold again.

"This tea... is cold..."

Liu Tingting lowered her eyes and looked at the teacup in her hand. She suddenly felt bitter in her heart. This tea had a really strong aftertaste.

Lin Xinran then sat down, raised his hand to pick up his teacup, but did not drink it.

"Yes, it was hot when it was first brewed, and the taste wasn't so astringent, but I didn't expect it to cool so quickly. The stronger the tea, the more bitter it tastes. Forget it, this tea...it's better not to drink it."

Liu Tingting put the cup on the table with trembling hands and looked straight at Lin Xinran: "What do you mean? Are you implying something to me?"

Lin Xinran put down the teacup and looked back at her.

Liu Tingting was immediately defeated by her indifferent gaze:

"What position and standing do you have to say that? Do you think you know Chu Xi very well? Do you know her birthday? Do you know what she likes to eat and drink? Do you know what games she likes to play and what her favorite colors are? You know nothing! You are so self-righteous! You are not worthy of being her friend at all."

Chu Xi frowned again, and the idea of ​​giving her some face just now disappeared. He looked at Liu Tingting coldly: "She is my friend, what's wrong? I have the final say on who is my friend, what do you have to say?"

"But...but she doesn't understand you, she can't take good care of you, she doesn't deserve to be your friend, you should be with me, I will make your favorite pudding, I learned it specially, you know, I..."

"Liu Tingting." Lin Xinran interrupted her again.

"For two people to become friends, they need mutual respect and companionship, and you didn't do the first point."

Liu Tingting was choked by Lin Xinran's words. She didn't know how to answer for a moment and could only helplessly explain: "I didn't, I respect you very much, I know you are afraid of disturbing you, so I just followed you from a distance... I did it..."

Chu Xi chuckled when she heard that. Her short dark blue hair covered her eyebrows, making the expression in her eyes unclear. The slightly raised corners of her mouth made her look handsome yet a little bit ruffian. Liu Tingting's obsessed gaze fell on her face and could not be moved away for a long time.

"She's right, Liu Tingting. From the day you confessed your love to me, we are no longer friends. This is something everyone knows. From then on, your daily stalking, secretly taking photos, and collecting my things are all disturbances to me. Do you understand what I mean? Hmm?"

Wang Qi looked at Liu Tingting who was silently crying, and then looked at Chu Xi who had a cold face. After struggling for a while, he finally said, "Brother Xi, what you just said was a bit too much. Tingting didn't sleep all night yesterday just because she could see you today. When you were not in school those few days, she couldn't eat and lost five pounds in a week. You should also consider her."

"Moral kidnapping?"

The boy with a crew cut leaned lazily on the sofa, raised his thick eyebrows, stared at Wang Qi with his dark eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but no smile in his eyes.

Lin Xinran glanced at the boy, a 1.9-meter-tall guy with a handsome and somewhat wild face. He looked cool and handsome, a bit like Duan Ziyuan when he was young.

Although Duan Ziyuan is not very old now.

Wang Qi felt her scalp tingling when he looked at her. She had not forgotten that this man was a well-known school bully in high school. He would punch anyone he disliked. Although she has graduated now, she is still a little afraid of him.

"I...I didn't, I was just telling the truth."

"Liu Tingting, I don't want to waste time here with you. This is it between us. Please stop secretly filming me and following me, or I don't mind using legal means to resolve this matter. You are not welcome here, Uncle Li, please get out."

Chu Xi looked at her coldly, her voice was particularly cold, and then her eyes fell on Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, I know you brought her here. In this case, our relationship ends here. You came here with her, so let's go together."

Wang Qi didn't seem to expect this matter to be so embarrassing. He stared and quickly explained: "She insisted on coming, and I... I couldn't refuse. You know, we live together, I can only... I'm sorry, Brother Xi, I won't do it next time, I'm sorry, forgive me..."

Uncle Li had a businesslike smile on his face and said softly, "Ladies, please."

His handsome and elegant face plus his smile made him look gentle and handsome, but at this moment he revealed a sense of oppression that was irresistible, especially when his eyes fell on them, the feeling reached its peak.
