Meeting you in autumn

Chapter 160 Imitation

Guan Qing stood there blankly for a long while before he came to his senses.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Chen Feng, and after a few seconds of eye contact, she quickly looked away as if she had been electrocuted. At the same time, she lowered her head and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Yes...yes."

Upon hearing her answer, Chen Feng felt as if his heart had instantly fallen into an abyss, heavy and extremely painful.

But he still mustered his courage and asked, "Then... does he like you too?"

Guan Qing kept her head down, fidgeting nervously with the hem of her clothes. After a moment of hesitation, she muttered softly, "He doesn't know I like him, but even so, I still can't control my feelings for him."

As she spoke, she seemed to forget that there were other people around her, as if only the figure she longed for existed before her, and she couldn't help but reveal a deep sense of longing.

At this moment, Guan Qing raised her head and stared intently at Chen Feng with her clear, watery eyes, a complex yet intense light flickering deep within them.

Deep down, she was screaming, "Idiot, can't you see? The person I like is you!"

However, she never had enough courage to express her feelings in person.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng, who was completely unaware of the situation, couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow and bitterness in his heart.

He forced a smile and asked, feigning composure, "If that's the case, then he must be exceptionally outstanding, right? For you to be so devoted to him, he must be a wonderful person!"

Guan Qing nodded vigorously and answered without hesitation, "That's right, he's very good. At least in my eyes, he's the best person in the world!"

Thinking about everything about him, her face was full of happiness.

"I really envy him!" Chen Feng murmured softly, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Finally, Chen Feng took a deep breath and forced a smile: "I hope he can realize your feelings soon."

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and the petals of the baby's breath in Guan Qing's hand fell to the ground.

The two stared at each other for a while, before Chen Feng finally said, "Let's go!"

The two then continued their stroll along Caiyun Lake, as darkness gradually fell.

Chen Feng's phone rang, and he calmly picked it up and answered it in front of Guan Qing.

He then looked at Guan Qing and replied, "Okay, I understand. We'll be right there!"

He then hung up the phone. Guan Qing, listening to his words, assumed it was something to do with his company and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Chen Fang called and told us to go to the bar we used to go to. Guan Yu is back!!" Chen Feng replied.

"Xiaoyu is back!! Let's go!" Guan Qing couldn't help but get excited when he heard his words.

The two then stopped strolling around Caiyun Lake and drove to Chen Fang's destination.

And on the other side of the bar.

"Brother Chen Fang~ I want to eat that pear, could you kindly get it for me?"

Xin Rong pouted coquettishly, her watery eyes gazing tenderly at Chen Fang, her voice sweet and charming.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang gently picked up the pear from the table and carefully handed it to Xin Rong.

Xin Rong took the pear, her face beaming with a radiant smile, a smile so sweet it was almost overflowing with honey.

She parted her lips slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Chen Fang~~"

However, Shen Jia, who was sitting to the side, couldn't stand this affectation.

She felt goosebumps all over her body and couldn't help but shift her body closer to Guan Yu. She lowered her voice and muttered in a strange tone, mimicking Xin Rong's earlier tone, "Brother Chen Fang, I want to eat pears too~~ Ugh... It's disgusting and makes me want to vomit."

After saying that, he exaggeratedly made a vomiting motion.

"Pfft-"

Guan Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Her eyes were full of affection for Shen Jia, and she reached out to gently stroke Shen Jia's hair.

At this moment, Xin Rong seemed to realize something. She blinked her innocent big eyes and asked with a look of confusion and grievance, "Sister Shen Jia, did I do something wrong and accidentally offend you?"

They looked so pitiful that anyone who saw them would feel sorry for them.

"No way!" Shen Jia replied irritably.

"Alright, alright!" Guan Yu quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

She hugged Shen Jia tightly and said to Xin Rong in a righteous tone, "Miss Xin Rong, please don't take it personally. Our Jiajia absolutely did not mean anything against you!"

Seeing Guan Yu protecting her like this, Shen Jia was moved and hugged Guan Yu.

"Shen Jia! Take your hand off me!"

When Jing Yi, who was sitting to the side, saw Shen Jia's hand wrapped around Guan Yu's slender waist, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed instantly, and his face showed obvious displeasure. He shouted in a stiff tone.

Upon hearing Jing Yi's reprimand, Shen Jia was taken aback at first, but then quickly released her arms from around Guan Yu's waist.

She rolled her eyes, looked at Jing Yi speechlessly, and muttered, "Hmph, what a jealous person. It's just a hug, why such a big reaction?"

Just then, Jing Yi suddenly reached out a hand and pulled Guan Yu directly into his broad and warm embrace.

Guan Yu was startled by this sudden action, but she quickly calmed down and obediently nestled in Jing Yi's arms, not daring to move.

"Lu Chuan, come on, let's drink!!"

Freed from the constraints of the language, Shen Jia immediately turned her gaze to Lu Chuan across from her and warmly raised her glass to invite him to join her.

However, before Lu Chuan could respond to Shen Jia's invitation, Chen Fang, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly spoke up.

Chen Fang frowned slightly, a hint of reproach in his eyes, and slowly said to Shen Jia, "Shen Jia, you're a girl, how can you drink so much? If you get drunk, I absolutely won't take you home!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jia's previously relaxed brows immediately furrowed tightly, her face filled with displeasure.

She turned her head and glared fiercely at Chen Fang, retorting without any politeness, "Mind your own business! Who cares if you deliver them! Do you think Lu Chuan and Xiao Yu'er are just decorations? Stop being so presumptuous!"

After saying that, Shen Jia picked up the wine glass in front of her, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp, as if she were demonstrating to Chen Fang with her actions.

After saying that, Shen Jia turned her head without hesitation, picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The wine in the glass disappeared without a trace, as if swallowed up instantly.

At this moment, Xin Rong, who was sitting next to Chen Fang, finally couldn't hold back her words and said softly, "Sister Shen Jia, please don't misunderstand. Brother Chen Fang did this entirely out of kindness to you. He absolutely has no malicious intent."

To everyone's surprise, Shen Jia turned around abruptly like an enraged little lion, growling irritably, "What do I have to do with you?! Don't call me 'sister' like that!"

Her voice was so loud that it shook the entire room.

Xin Rong was clearly startled by the sudden reprimand. Her once clear eyes were now slightly tinged with crimson, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to spill out at any moment.

Her pitiful appearance evoked sympathy from others, and she seemed somewhat at a loss, only able to cast a pleading look at Chen Fang beside her.

Chen Fang was completely baffled and couldn't understand why Shen Jia would suddenly get so angry, so he couldn't help but try to explain: "Shen Jia..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Guan Yu quickly stepped forward and smoothed things over with a smile, saying, "Miss Xin Rong, our Shen Jia is just like that. She always speaks her mind. Please don't take it to heart!"
