"Cut it out! If it weren't for my dad asking me to help you, do you think I would even be here? And you still have that attitude? Forget it, you can handle it yourself; I'm too lazy to care."
With that, she turned on her heel and walked away, the sound of her footsteps echoing in my ears.
So this girl was here to help. At first, I thought I could solve everything on my own, but now that I had assistance, it would be foolish not to accept it.
I quickly changed my demeanor, running up to her with a grin. "Oh, so that's why you're here! You should have said so earlier; it was all a misunderstanding!"
She looked at me with disdain as she noticed how quickly my expression had shifted.
I didn't know what got into me, but I blurted out, "What's wrong? Is your tooth hurting? Do you want to go see a dentist? I can contact someone I know."
Ouyang Zhirou burst into laughter, clearly not expecting me to mention tooth pain.
"Hahaha! Zhao Lun, are you sick or something? You're the one with a toothache!"
Her laughter indicated that she was no longer angry, which meant we could talk about anything now.
So I took the opportunity to compliment her. "You look quite nice when you smile."
"Only now do you realize I'm good-looking? Maybe you should get your eyes checked."
What? What was wrong with this woman? One moment she was laughing, and the next she could turn hostile.
Women’s thoughts were truly inscrutable.
"Uh..."
Seeing that I hadn’t responded for a while, she asked, "Are we just going to talk here? There's not even a place to sit?"
"Right, right! Good point. Let me take you to a bubble tea shop I bought; we can sit there and chat."
I led Ouyang Zhirou to the bubble tea shop.
At that moment, Lin Mu Xi was being held by Hu Yao at the very same bubble tea shop where I had first met Lin Mu Xi. It had become a base for the three of us. Lin Mu Xi slammed her hand on the table angrily. "Why did you stop me? Why didn’t you stop her? Didn’t you see her face? She acts like the whole world belongs to her!"
Lin Mu Xi's outburst startled those around us; most of them were students from our school and recognized her face.
Hu Yao calmly took a sip of his bubble tea and said, "What’s the problem? You two are arguing; do you think that’s appropriate? There are so many people watching; aren’t you embarrassed? You’re two months older than Zhao Lun; can’t you think this through?"
"What do you mean 'I should be embarrassed'? She’s the one who’s arguing with Zhao Lun! If it weren’t for you stopping me, I would have rushed in already!"
"Aren't you supposed to be the calm one? No matter what happens, you can think rationally. What’s going on now?"
"And what good would rushing in do? She has an engagement with Zhao Lun. What identity do you have to confront them? Ex-girlfriend? Or partner?"
Hearing Hu Yao's words, there was not a hint of comfort; instead, it felt like adding fuel to the fire. Lin Mu Xi became even more agitated. "What’s wrong? What’s wrong?!" she exclaimed, her voice rising in intensity. Eventually, her voice trailed off, becoming so quiet that I couldn't hear what she was saying. Her face gradually turned red.
I still didn’t know that Hu Yao had taken Lin Mu Xi to that milk tea shop. Along the way, Ouyang Zhirou wouldn’t stop chattering. If it weren’t for the need to deal with Wang Ju'en, I would have been too lazy to respond.
"Hey, Zhao Lun, I'm a year and a half older than you! You have to call me 'Sister'!"
"Hey, Zhao Lun, is this how you always charm girls? So childish!"
"Hey, Zhao Lun, how did you break up with your ex-girlfriend? Can you tell me about it?"
Mentioning his ex-girlfriend instantly reminded me of the earlier argument with Lin Mu Xi, and I pulled her back as she tried to head in the opposite direction.
"Hey, the milk tea shop is off-campus! What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? I’m going to tear that b*tch's mouth apart!"
