"..."
Wen Tingxue stared at the row of bare legs, paused for a moment, then looked up at Xing Jiahe and asked, "You're so carefree, does Xin Xin know?"
"Hey, hey, hey," Chi Zerui quickly came down from the stairs, helping his brother explain, "I dragged him here forcefully. Look at his expression, he's not even glancing this way. Just cover for him."
Wen Tingxue glared at him disapprovingly, "You know he doesn't like coming here, so why did you insist on dragging him? Don't corrupt him!"
Chi Zerui's expression faltered, "Do you see me as that kind of person?"
But the words died on his lips, and he didn't ask.
The answer was already obvious—yes.
Whether it was their first meeting or now, he wasn't a good person in her eyes.
She would object to Xing Jiahe being surrounded by countless beautiful women because she knew he wasn't that kind of person.
But if he was surrounded by scantily clad girls, she wouldn't ask a single question because she felt he was naturally dissolute.
For a moment, he really wanted to tell her that he wasn't like that, that he actually had a heart.
"You're watching me because you're afraid I'll corrupt him," Chi Zerui grinned, putting his arm around her shoulder in a brotherly manner. "Just don't report me to Xu Kexin."
"..." Wen Tingxue shrugged, trying to shake off his arm.
He clung even tighter, deliberately leaning in to act spoiled, "Little sister Tingxue~ Please help me~"
His tone was unbearably roguish.
Wen Tingxue got goosebumps all over and threw her hands up in surrender, "Alright, alright, alright, I won't say anything, okay? Let go!"
She patted him.
Chi Zerui immediately bounced away with a laugh.
From her angle, she couldn't see the bitterness spreading in his eyes.
All she could see was his dashing appearance, with a woman in each arm.
"I really feel bad for Luo'er."
Wen Tingxue mumbled, hugging her arms around Yu Wenli.
Yu Wenli looked down at her and said, "Why don't you feel bad for me?"
"?" She flicked her eyelids. What was he going crazy about?
Yu Wenli immediately changed his expression, "You were just arm in arm with A Rui, can't I be a little jealous?"
He was being utterly sarcastic, yet his expression was quite aggrieved.
"What's wrong with him today?"
After they sat down, Wen Tingxue asked Xing Jiahe.
Xing Jiahe was very cold to other girls, with no beauties around him.
But he was very obedient to Xu Kexin. Even though Chi Zerui had covered Wen Tingxue's mouth, he was still diligently explaining.
He reported everything.
He paused for a moment after hearing her question, then replied after finishing his message, "I'm not sure. When he called me, he was already quite agitated. It seemed to be related to Hao Lu'er."
"Hmm?" Wen Tingxue was surprised.
Xing Jiahe said, "He mentioned it briefly, saying he wanted to break up."
"..."
Wen Tingxue glanced at Chi Zerui, who was currently engrossed with the beauties, and a faint spark of anger flashed in her eyes.
"He wants to break up? What right does he have to break up? Isn't Lu'er good to him? If anyone should break up, it's Lu'er! No, he hasn't broken up yet, what is he doing!"
Unable to stand it, she wanted to go and demand an explanation.
Xie Jinnyi held her wrist, looked up at her, and said, "If he has a girl in his heart that he loves but can't have, it's useless for Luo'er to be with him. Instead of trying to persuade him, you should persuade Hao Lu'er to let go sooner."
These words were cruel.
But they were the truth.
Chi Zerui could be considered fickle, but he could also be considered deeply devoted.
Such a person, if he didn't love, then he didn't love. But if he loved, it was deep love.
There was no settling for less, no replacements, only the one and only.
Hao Lu'er's persistence was hurting both of them.
Wen Tingxue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is the girl he loves but can't have?"
She didn't remember any other girls appearing around him.
