She Doesn't Like Him
"You saved me today- I'm very thankful for that- I'll tell my dad to give you more money as a reward, but that doesn't mean I'll accept you. I'll tell my dad to fire you when he gets back." Mengyao said after some hesitation.
Lin Yi shrugged, a helpless smile on his face. "Don't worry, I won't stay here if Mister Chu fires me." Lin Yi felt like he was a bit of a failure- was it because the Miss was too hard to please, or was it because he wasn't good enough? But it didn't matter- as much as he liked the easy life he had right now, going to school and getting out of school, living with two beautiful girls, and having a good friend at school, it wasn't a life that belonged to him.
Mengyao panicked even more as she watched Lin Yi's downtrodden silhouette. Was she wrong? Shouldn't she have kicked him out? Mengyao's heart wavered for the first time in her life- Lin Yi was the scale that she was supposed to be on.
Lin Yi went back to his room and took off his clothes. There was a large patch of blood on his pants, and it looked like he wouldn't be able to wear them anymore- it was such a waste of a good pair of pants. Lin Yi's heart ached a little as he tossed the pants into the trash can in the corner of his room. Lin Yi took out a spare set of school uniform.
Lin Yi walked out of his room after changing. Mengyao and Yushu were watching TV on the sofa, and Lin Yi didn't want to disturb them. He sat down on the sofa furthest away from them and started watching cartoons with them.
Yushu glanced at Lin Yi before going back to watching cartoons. Mengyao, on the other hand, didn't even look in Lin Yi's direction.
Because of the bank robbery, it was already past 9 pm when he got home. Although Uncle Fu rushed to the hotel to get the food, it was already 10: 30 pm by the time it was delivered to the villa, it was already 10: 30 pm.
As usual, Faubert left after leaving the food behind. The only difference was that when he left today, he specifically reminded Lin Yi, "Don't forget to check if the door is locked at night. Protect the two girls."
"Don't worry, Faubert." Lin Yi gave Faubert a reassuring look.
When Lin Yi cultivated at night, he could already replace sleep. However, that was also the time when Lin Yi's spirit and senses were at their sharpest. Even the slightest movement couldn't escape Lin Yi's ears. Therefore, Lin Yi was very confident about the safety of the villa at night.
"Oh!" Yushu cheered as she smelled the food. "I'm starving! There's finally food! Yao Yao sis, let's go eat!"
Mengyao stood up and walked to the kitchen with Yushu. She was a little hungry as well, but there was an indescribable pressure in her heart. She wasn't as lively as Yushu.
Yushu couldn't wait to open the sealed container as they sat at the dining table, salivating. "Yao Yao sis, it's braised chicken, tofu, hot and sour potato strips, and pig's foot soup … This pig's foot soup must've been custom-made for breast enlargement …"
Mengyao glared at Yushu, telling her not to talk nonsense. There was a man in the house, and it wasn't the two of them anymore.
"Oh!" Yushu shut her mouth. "It smells so good! I love tofu! I heard that if you eat too much tofu, your skin will become whiter, just like the tofu beauty in the textbook!"
Mengyao picked up her chopsticks and put them down again, glancing at Lin Yi on the sofa. He was still watching TV. She didn't know why, but that lonely figure made Mengyao feel very uncomfortable. He was fighting to eat with her yesterday, but he wasn't here today. It must've been because she ate his saliva yesterday …
"Call your Shield Bro over for dinner." Mengyao said to Yushu after some hesitation.
"That's your Shield Bro, alright? I don't need a shield." Yushu said with a smile as she looked at Mengyao, trying to figure out what was going on. "Why'd you call him over for dinner?"
"Let's just ignore him then." Mengyao said coldly, feeling a little nervous under Yushu's pressure.
"Oh, I'll go get him then." Yushu smiled and stood up, calling out to Lin Yi in the living room. "Shield Bro, it's dinner time!"
"You guys eat first, I'll eat after you guys are done. Mengyao doesn't like me. " Lin Yi said gratefully as he looked at Yushu. This girl was really nice to him, after all. He didn't make her noodles for nothing.
Mengyao's hand shook when she heard Lin Yi's words, and a piece of braised chicken fell onto the table … Mengyao wanted to cry! She was the one who asked Lin Yi to come over for dinner, and this guy was treating Yushu like a kind-hearted person! He even said that she didn't like him! What a waste of my good intentions!
"Yao Yao said … …" Yushu was about to say something when Mengyao pulled her back.
"Ignore him, let him starve to death!" Mengyao said hatefully. She hated him to death.
"Ah? But Yao Yao, didn't you say you wanted him to eat with us? Why are you ignoring him now? "Yushu looked at Mengyao strangely.
"I changed my mind." Mengyao hmphed and hesitated. "Shu, if you like him, then call him over."
"Me? But he said that you don't like him! "Yushu said innocently.
"I … …" Mengyao wanted to say that she didn't like him, didn't she? But if she said it out loud, wouldn't that make it sound like she liked him? Mengyao's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything in the end. "Let's eat … …"
Some time later, if she could go back in time, Mengyao would've stood up and yelled at him without hesitation. "I like you, I like you! Come and eat with me!" Mengyao didn't hesitate at all when she heard those words from him.
But time couldn't be turned back, and it was destined that in the future, Mengyao would spend many sleepless nights hugging the blanket that was soaked in tears … …
Mengyao made her wish the moment the meteor streaked across the night sky. But, was it really going to work? Looking at the starry sky, Mengyao realized that she didn't know when it started, but the distance between them was getting farther and farther … …
Although it seemed to be within reach, there was an insurmountable ravine between the two of them, and this ravine was dug out by her own hands …
