Su Wanwan told me that they are together now.
I pretended to casually flip through a book.
Su Wanwan walked up behind me and affectionately wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "Qingyu, He Xiao and I discussed it and decided to take you out for a meal to thank you for bringing us together. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be together."
Her tone was filled with laughter.
Yet my heart felt as if it had been pierced by a needle, aching to the point of suffocation.
I forced a smile, pulling at the corners of my mouth. "Sure."
At the restaurant.
He Xiao was serving food to Su Wanwan.
He lowered his gaze, his movements careful and gentle as he picked up the food.
It was a stark contrast to the indifference and impatience he showed when he was with me.
Suddenly, I remembered last year when I accidentally injured my hand while practicing martial arts.
He Xiao saw it and silently picked up the medicine from the table to help me apply it.
His movements were awkward and rough.
I winced in pain.
He merely said coldly, "Be more careful next time."
However, when he faced Su Wanwan, his eyes were filled with affection.
It seemed he was deliberately doing this in front of me to show his concern and love for Su Wanwan.
To make it clear that I should give up any fantasies about him.
I lowered my head and looked at the food in my bowl, unable to eat a single bite.
They fed each other and exchanged playful banter.
I awkwardly shifted my gaze away, remaining still in my seat.
A young gentleman suddenly looked our way, his eyes lighting up as he quickly approached us.
"Excuse me, is this the Miss Ye from the General's Residence?"
I blinked in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"
He bowed to me, saying, "My name is Lin Shuheng, the eldest son of the Minister's Residence. Do you remember me, Miss Ye?"
Before I could respond, He Xiao let out a cold snort and sarcastically said, "What’s this? The Minister's Residence is next to the General's Residence, so you know the young lady from the General's Residence?"
Lin Shuheng smiled and replied, "Please don't misunderstand. I once witnessed Miss Ye's sword dance at a palace banquet and have admired her for a long time. I just never had the chance to get to know her. May I ask if Miss Ye would be willing to befriend me?"
I tilted my head and looked at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure."
The young gentleman happily left.
He Xiao's expression became even more unpleasant.
My mood suddenly improved a bit.
Before long, another young gentleman approached us.
However, this one was a bit smarter than the last; he didn't directly say he wanted to be friends with me. Instead, he mentioned that he was a classmate of my older brother and reminded me that as a young lady out in the world, I should be cautious to avoid being deceived by ill-intentioned people.
After saying that, he intentionally glanced at He Xiao.
I stifled a laugh.
Meanwhile, He Xiao's expression grew darker and darker.
Su Wanwan beside me covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably.
I was in high spirits, my appetite increased, and I finished half a bowl of rice.
After this gentleman left, I thought no one else would come to chat with me.
To my surprise, there was a third one.
He Xiao's face was now as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The Young Master looked quite young, not yet of age, with a tense, youthful face as he walked straight towards me, hesitation evident on his expression.
I stared at him, confused.
He approached me and bowed slightly. "Sister Ye, my name is Qi Qianyu. May I pursue you?"
"Ah?" I was taken aback.
He Xiao's face turned pale, and he nearly broke the chopsticks in his hand from gripping them so tightly.
Qi Qianyu nervously swallowed and mustered the courage to say to me, "Sister, I want to pursue you."
I felt extremely awkward; he was still just a child. "But I..."
Before I could finish my sentence, Su Wanwan interjected, "Sure, I'll agree for her."
He Xiao suddenly stood up and left without looking back.
Su Wanwan made a face at me and ran after He Xiao.
I was left sitting there in a daze.
