A Slight Smile: The beginning is so heartbreaking for Bei Weiwei

Her heart was beating fast.

It seems like their relationship is progressing a little too fast.

In just a few days, their relationship seemed to have accelerated.

If things continue like this, Hu Yifei feels that in just a few days, she will be completely taken advantage of by the other party.

This guy……

Hu Yifei watched Lin Yaoyang's retreating figure, her lips slightly pursed.

I must have owed this person something in my past life.

.......

After returning to their apartment and quickly washing up, the two went downstairs to the bar.

When the two arrived, Zeng Xiaoxian and the others were already drinking on the sofa in the bar.

"No, where have you two been today? Why are you so late!"

As soon as Lin Yaoyang and Hu Yifei came in, Zeng Xiaoxian teased them.

"Hey, you two didn't go on a date, did you?"

Unlike in the original series, nothing happened between Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei at this point.

They're just good friends.

Or rather, in this world, Zeng Xiaoxian genuinely treats Hu Yifei like a man, without any romantic feelings whatsoever.

Hu Yifei was similar; in her eyes, Zeng Xiaoxian was just a dead woman.

Hu Yifei and Lin Yaoyang just smiled at Zeng Xiaoxian's teasing.

Although their relationship was more or less over, they hadn't completely opened up to each other yet.

So... an official announcement will still take some time.

However… unlike Zeng Xiaoxian, who was joking, Qin Yumo, sitting to the side, narrowed her eyes as she watched the unintentional intimate actions between Lin Yaoyang and Hu Yifei.

Could it be... that my best friend has already made her move and succeeded?

At this moment, Qin Yumo was in a bad mood.

Over the years, she has only ever been interested in one guy: tall, handsome, and rich. Well… although she doesn’t really care whether he’s rich or not, Lin Yaoyang earned all that money himself.

A pure-blooded self-made man—he was exactly her dream man.

Now look what's happened! Before I even got a chance to do anything, my best friend stole it from me.

Thinking of this, Qin Yumo looked at Hu Yifei with a resentful gaze.

These two really are best friends!

Hu Yifei noticed Qin Yumo's resentful gaze immediately.

At this moment, she felt a little embarrassed.

Through yesterday's events, she also realized that her best friend had feelings for Lin Yaoyang.

Given their relationship, she definitely wouldn't have tried to take it from Qin Yumo.

But... there are some things he really can't control.

"Yu Mo!!!"

Hu Yifei sat down next to Qin Yumo in a humble and pitiful manner, and began to beg for forgiveness from her best friend, trying to appeal to her emotions.

"Hmph!!" Qin Yumo turned her head away, snorted unhappily, and whispered, "I don't want to talk to you right now, I'm angry!"

Of course, she wouldn't actually be angry.

After all, she and Hu Yifei have been best friends for many years.

How could she possibly break off a friendship over a boy? However, she still wanted to make her best friend pay the price.

Lin Yaoyang wasn't interested in the conversation between the two best friends. After ordering himself and Hu Yifei a drink, he went with Zeng Xiaoxian to play pool at a nearby table.

"Little Yangzi, let me tell you, your brother Zeng's billiards skills are top-notch!"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Lin Yaoyang with a sly grin, "Want me to give you a few points first?"

"Let me?" Lin Yaoyang smiled, said nothing, and started the game directly.

He shot the cue ball, potting two solid-colored balls. When all the balls came to a stop, he looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and teased, "Brother Xian, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet?" Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback. "You want to make a bet like this?"

"Beat it to 7! Whoever wins treats everyone!"

Lin Yaoyang said with a smile, "How about we bet on a meal at Xiao Nan Guo?"

"Little South Country?" Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated.

This is Xiao Nan Guo, after all. If he loses, he'll lose almost half a month's salary.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian hesitate, Lin Yaoyang provoked him.

"Brother Xian, you...you're not scared, are you?"

"Afraid? I'd be afraid?"

Zeng Xiaoxian straightened his chest and raised his head, instantly exuding an imposing aura. "Who am I? I'm Brother Xian! Do you think I'm afraid?"

Upon hearing about the bet, Hu Yifei and the others immediately gathered around.

"What? You two want to have a competition?"

Hu Yifei was a little excited.

She loves competitions the most, and she had just heard the name "Little South Country" on the phone.

It seems they're going to get another free meal.

"Hu Yifei, what does this have to do with you?"

Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes. "This is my match with Yaoyang, why are you so excited?"

"Of course we're excited, because we can already smell the aroma of someone treating us to a meal."

Qin Yumo looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and teased, "Teacher Zeng, you won't cheat if you lose, will you?"

"Scamming?"

Zeng Xiaoxian glared at her defiantly, "Do you really think of your brother Zeng as that kind of person? Besides, who told you I was bound to lose? Don't you know that I'm the number one billiards player in our business world?"

Qin Yumo was speechless. This Zeng Xiaoxian really loved to brag. She would watch how he would explain himself when he lost.

After a heated exchange, the billiards match between Lin Yaoyang and Zeng Xiaoxian officially began.

Zeng Xiaoxian's smug expression froze completely over the next half hour.

Lin Yaoyang didn't give him a chance to play at all, scoring seven consecutive losses.

Chapter 228 Workload Doubled

When the last black ball went into the pocket, Zeng Xiaoxian collapsed to the ground in despair, pointing at Lin Yaoyang in disbelief.

"Xiao Yangzi, you...you tricked me!!"

With Lin Yaoyang's skills, he'd be a guaranteed champion in a professional competition. Why compare him to an ordinary person? It's just unfair to him.

Hu Yifei and the others didn't care about Zeng Xiaoxian's sadness. The moment the black ball went into the pocket, they all jumped up excitedly around Lin Yaoyang.

"Haha, Ah Yang, you're amazing! Thank you so much for getting us such a great meal."

"Yes, I've been living in this apartment for so long, and this is the first time I've had a meal treated by Teacher Zeng." Qin Yumo smiled.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's desperate expression, I felt inexplicably happy.

Lin Yaoyang looked at the aggrieved Zeng Xiaoxian, his lips twitching slightly. This guy...

Sure enough, Brother Xian is a little stingy.

Fortunately, he never intended for this guy to treat him; he was just joking with him.

Half an hour later, after hearing that there was a free feast, Lu Ziqiao and the others gathered around.

After seeing so many people, Zeng Xiaoxian's heart was completely dead.

To be honest, he already felt that half a month's salary wasn't enough, and he might have to eat a whole month's worth of food.

However, this feeling of sadness only lasted for a short while.

After all, Zeng Xiaoxian wasn't actually that stingy.

That night, everyone enjoyed a big meal at Xiao Nan Guo. During the meal, Lin Yaoyang secretly went to the front desk under the pretext of going to the restroom and paid the bill directly.

When Zeng Xiaoxian went to pay the bill, he was completely dumbfounded.

Well, so this is another month's salary saved for no reason?

Regardless, this is undoubtedly great news for Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Ah Yang!!! From now on, you are my godfather. If you ever need my help, just tell me what to do."

At the entrance of Xiao Nan Guo restaurant, Zeng Xiaoxian hugged Lin Yaoyang's leg, deeply moved.
