Chapter 146: All Love Rivals
Chapter 146: All Love Rivals
At lunch, Xiao Lan was speechless when she heard Lu Qingxi talking about her brother sending her six large boxes of matcha chocolates. She secretly complained, "How come this straight guy doesn't understand girls' minds!" However, she also knew that Xiao Xu was straightforward and might have sent all the chocolates without thinking too much.
Although she felt a little bit resentful in her heart, Xiao Lan still decided to help her brother. She smiled and said to Lu Qingxi, "Actually, I asked my brother to buy three of the six boxes of matcha chocolate for me. He probably didn't understand what I said and thought I was giving them all to you, so he gave them all to you."
After hearing this, Lu Qingxi was relieved. She had originally thought that Xiao Xu gave her so many chocolates because he liked her, but now it seemed that it was a misunderstanding.
Lu Qingxi finally woke up from her dream and realized that the boxes of matcha chocolate had already been divided up by everyone. She said to Xiao Lan with a little apology: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I have distributed those matcha chocolates." Xiao Lan smiled and asked with concern: "Qingqing, have you tried a piece yourself?" Lu Qingxi shook her head helplessly and said: "It's strange, Jimo seems to have a special liking for matcha chocolate today, and didn't leave any for me. However, he said he would bring me a better dessert tomorrow."
After hearing this, Xiao Lan understood. She looked at Lu Qingxi, shook her head gently, and secretly sighed: Jimo Chuan really knows how to protect his position. She didn't say anything more, but just stayed quietly beside Lu Qingxi, sharing this little loss.
Meanwhile, Zhai Xingchen's mood was getting worse and worse. He originally thought that Xiao Xu would bring solid evidence to expose Lu Qingxi's true face, but when he called, he was scolded by the other party and ruthlessly kicked out of the friend list. Zhai Xingchen felt extremely depressed, as if the whole world had collapsed.
He took out his carefully drawn paintings, trying to find some comfort in them. However, just as he was immersed in his own artistic world, Zhai Yijing came back. He walked straight into Zhai Xingchen's room and saw his brother still staring at the painting in a daze, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Zhai Yijing walked behind Zhai Xingchen and asked softly, "Xingchen, why did you attack that girl? She is just staying at the Zhai family temporarily and she is not a threat to you." He saw his brother's shoulders slump and continued, "I told you before that Fangrong has no shares in the Zhai family. She is just an innocent person. You should reflect on your behavior."
Out of guilt and love for his brother, Zhai Yijing did not say anything more serious. He stepped forward, gently covered Zhai Xingchen's painting with a curtain, and said to his brother in confusion: "Xingchen, there are some things you may regret for the rest of your life. I hope you can understand this." After that, he turned and left the room, leaving Zhai Xingchen alone in the dark.
Chu Ye gently touched Xiao Xu's back with the tip of his pen, wanting to convey his concern to his friend through this tiny action. Xiao Xu turned his head, his slightly tired eyes were filled with a hint of confusion. There were obvious dark circles under his eyes, obviously he had not slept last night.
"What's wrong? Do you need me for something?" Xiao Xu's voice was a little hoarse.
Chu Ye was slightly stunned, then asked with concern: "Why are you so tired today? Did you go to see Xingchen yesterday? Is he okay? He didn't even reply to the message I sent him."
As soon as he heard the name "Zhai Xingchen", Xiao Xu's brows knitted together instantly, as if a sensitive nerve had been touched. He said in a deep voice: "There is a problem between him and me. Don't ask me about his recent affairs." After that, he turned his head back and continued to immerse himself in his thoughts.
Chu Ye was a little confused by Xiao Xu's reaction. Xiao Xu and Zhai Xingchen had always had the best relationship among them. Why did it suddenly become like this this time? He couldn't help but start to guess the reason. And Helian Che, who was standing next to him, also raised his head and looked at Xiao Xu with an inquiring look.
Chu Ye and Helian Che looked at each other and did not give up. They poked Xiao Xu's back with a pen again and asked in a low voice, "Xu, did something happen? Seeing you like this, we are all worried about you." Xiao Xu turned his head and saw that Chu Ye and Helian Che both showed worried expressions. A warm current surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and decided to tell them the whole story.
Starting from Zhai Xingchen's mention that Lu Qingxi put a photo of Xiao Lan's ex-boyfriend in the book, Xiao Xu described in detail how he went to Lu Qingxi's room, did not find any photos of Qin Fangkai, and then found the mask of the girl who made his heart beat. When he returned to the Xiao family with the mask and confirmed from Xiao Lan that the mask belonged to Lu Qingxi, he was shocked beyond words.
Hearing this, Helian Che's face turned a little ugly. There was a storm in his heart. Two of the three brothers were secretly in love with Lu Qingxi, which made him feel helpless and funny.
Helian Che stared at Xiao Xu, the love rival who suddenly appeared. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do? I heard that Lu Qingxi... already has a boyfriend." Xiao Xu answered almost without thinking, "Of course I will try my best to win her over, slowly let her see my good side, and keep all the opposite sex around her away." As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that Helian Che seemed to be interested in Lu Qingxi as well. He looked at Helian Che in shock, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Xiao Xu felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and hurriedly left the classroom, saying that he forgot to take something. Chu Ye looked at the two people's inexplicable reactions, and it took him a long time to realize that they both liked the same girl. He scratched his head and said to himself: "How come you two just... like the same girl... Well, I don't care about you. I'll continue to look for my fairy, but I don't know where she is." As he said that, he began to fall into the thoughts of Lu Qingxi again, and at the same time he did not forget to complain that the monitoring facilities in the hospital's VVIP ward were not perfect, so he could not find the girl he liked as soon as possible.
Helian Che awkwardly touched the watch on his wrist, lowered his head and continued to read, trying to hide his inner panic. Chu Ye did not think much about it, thinking that Helian Che was just embarrassed to mention this topic, so he decided to go to the hospital after class to look for the fairy in his heart.
