I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

In a panic, he quickly pointed behind Lu Yunzi.

"Do you think I would believe such a lowly lie?"

"If you don't believe me, look for yourself! He's with a girl..." He closed his eyes in fear, waiting for the fist to hit him. However, after a long while, he didn't feel any pain anywhere on his body.

"...Hmm."

I'm still alive. This was Jia Lidu's first reaction, and then he looked at Lu Yunzi.

"..."

Looking at Lu Yunzi behind him, his eyes seemed to have lost their dreams. He stood there blankly, his eyes looking at Sun Hao, who was supporting a strange woman and seemed to have a very close relationship with her.

“..Ah…Ah…”

What on earth was going on? I'd never even held Ahao's hand before. The last time we went shopping, we'd just tugged at each other's sleeves, yet they were so close. And that girl didn't look familiar to me at school, and I'd never heard Ahao mention her before... Did they just meet, or was she a girlfriend he'd been in contact with... Yeah, Ahao had mentioned a girl he liked before, so could it be her? But... but I clearly...

"...What's going on..."

Lu Yunzi felt mixed emotions and didn't even know whether he should shed tears. Finally, he remembered that there was someone following him, so he turned around and asked Jia Lidu.

"...How should I know..." Feeling innocent, Jia Lidu wanted to avoid this question.

"Huh?"

However, he still succumbed to Lu Yunzi's terrifying gaze.

"Ah, ahem, well... you see that girl's legs aren't working properly, right? Maybe he's helping her go to the hospital... or maybe they don't even know each other... right, ahahaha..."

"Ah, that makes sense."

Jia Lidu hadn't expected his desperate guess to fool Lu Yunzi. However, he clearly felt that his position was a bit awkward, and perhaps leaving was the best option.

"Then... go ask..."

He took two steps back and prepared to run away.

"Stop!"

Lu Yunzi grabbed his collar and dragged him towards where Sun Hao was. "Come with me and ask."

"Hey, this is none of my business... I have something else to do... Wait, listen to me..."

For Jia, Li and Du, this may be an unexpected disaster.

In a sense, Sun Hao was indeed guilty of many sins.

Completely different atmosphere

What is the scariest thing in the world?

Jia Lidu, forced by Lu Yunzi to "join the fight," couldn't help but ponder. The three of them had spent considerable time together since their chance encounter in junior high, so he was well aware of Lu Yunzi's affection for Ahao. Jia Lidu had no objection to this; at least from the perspective of others, the two seemed perfectly compatible. However, as Ahao's best friend (in his own opinion), he also hoped that Haozi would find a girl he truly loved. Of course, it would be best if the two of them were in love with each other.

Therefore, he really didn't want to participate in the "stable (triangle) pattern" formed by this man and two women... Wouldn't it be unprofitable to get poked by one of the corners?

However, Lu Yunzi beside him was too scary, not only because of his personality, but I heard that he had practiced karate, taekwondo and other things. If he tried to escape, he would probably break a few ribs.

"what..."

If Haozi really gets together with her later, given Lu Yunzi's temper and Haozi's emotional intelligence, if they meet by chance in the future, he will probably have his arms in plaster or be on crutches.

“How pitiful…”

I suddenly felt a surge of sympathy for Haozi.

"Huh? How can she be pitiful? That girl must be pretending, definitely trying to gain Ah Hao's sympathy." Lu Yunzi seemed to have mistaken Jia Lidu's muttering for his own thoughts after seeing Li Yinghui's expression, so he expressed his dissatisfaction again, "That kind of person who came out of nowhere, just like that with Ah Hao... affection... affection... I... I... I really can't accept it."

"...Hey."

This was textbook jealousy. Jia Lidu couldn't help but laugh, and he could almost smell the sourness.

"why are you laughing..."

However, Yun Zi's eyes instantly turned vicious when he turned around. A complete double standard.

"No...nothing."

...So, whether Ah Hao can control this kind of jealous woman depends on himself.

"...Um..."

Jia Lidu thought for a moment and silently made the sign of the cross on his chest. "I don't know if it will help, but for the sake of our brotherhood, I'll give you my blessing."

Chapter 36: A Completely Different Atmosphere

"...You're really rude."

Even though I pointed to a slightly more upscale shop and said, "Order anything, I'll treat you," something I now regret, why did this guy, who just had tears in his eyes as if he loved this place, suddenly enthusiastically order several of the most expensive ice creams? What were those tears before?

"You're so long-winded. You told me to order whatever I want."

As she said this, she used a spoon to dig into the ice cream without hesitation and swallowed a big mouthful without any ladylike image.

"...Eating to relieve your emotions..." He sighed slightly. What a hassle. "If I had done this before, this wouldn't have happened..."

I muttered a little.

“…”

After looking at me with dissatisfaction, Ming Xinxi opposite me suddenly put down the spoon in her hand, then slowly lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders, and made a faint sobbing sound.

"...Hey, no way."

"Ugh...wuwu...wuwu..." The sobbing became louder and louder, and tears kept dripping onto the table.

"..."

"What's going on..." "It seems like he complains too much..." "Wow, he's still worried about money when he's out with his girlfriend..." "He's definitely a scumbag."

...My rating was lowered a lot in an instant.

Ah, what a nuisance! Humans are so easily deceived because they trust what they see and have such rich imaginations.

Really, what on earth is going on here? Is this acting? Then it seems I can sit in front of the TV and watch the Oscars ten years from now, hoping that the Best Actress winner named Ming Xinxi will appear.

"Okay, okay...I apologize."

As I said this, I pulled out a few napkins from my right hand and handed them to her.

If she still had a little conscience, she would stop when she saw that my hand was injured because of her.

"...Thanks..."

She took it and gradually stopped sobbing. Then she immediately started to finish the ice cream.

"...Well, how should I put it."

In my opinion, the real Ming Xinxi is definitely not what she appears to be. I don’t know what she is thinking or what her life experiences are, so it is very difficult to judge whether she is a good or bad person.

Besides, it's hard to tell whether those tears were real or not. Emotions change so quickly... I'm afraid it's hard to even tell what I'm feeling right now. It feels so subtly similar to me... well, there are so many troubles.

"The person you really like is Li Yinghui, right?"

"Ahem!" He deliberately asked her just as she was stuffing the ice cream into her mouth. It was a small revenge.

"Ahem...you...you bastard..."

Ah, I'm blushing. It seems I was right.

Moreover, her eyes have become simpler, and her detached look makes her seem extremely innocent... It seems that no matter whether the object of her secret crush is a man or a woman, just mentioning it will make the person feel flustered and temporarily lose their original defenses.

Love makes people stupid...this sentence is really true.

"Is that so... It seems the process of elimination really works. If that's the premise, then it's not hard to understand your motives for taking such extreme actions."

Actually, it's a multiple-choice question, so there are only two answers. Excluding the "senior" option, which I guessed incorrectly earlier, the only one left is Senior Li Yinghui.

"You guy..."

She suddenly stood up and expertly grabbed my collar, looking as if she was so angry she wanted to kill me to silence me.

"Don't act like you know everything!"

“…”

Such a familiar feeling...

"Don't be so soft!"

"Learn to say no!"

"I...I'm just bullying you, okay?"

That's right. The person who used to yell at me like that...is rarely seen now. And even if I did see her again, she probably wouldn't treat me like that again.

Looking at Ming Xinxi in front of me...I seem to understand her thoughts a little bit.

"...Calm down." I turned my eyes away. "Don't you care about the looks around you?"

"Hmm... hum." She looked around, and the other customers' attention was drawn here.

So even though she looked dissatisfied, Ming Xinxi still let go of her hand out of shame.

"..."

After my previous attempts, his emotions seemed to have stabilized a lot. In this case, it should be possible to bring up the main topic.

"Senior, you just told me not to act like I know everything." I used a spoon to stir the remaining cream in the cup in front of me. "So, what exactly is your understanding of happiness?"

"...What...I don't understand what you're talking about."

Her expression gradually became serious.

"Well, forget it. I do remember you bringing up the topic of fairy tales. And after thinking about it... I realized you were probably struggling with how to find happiness, or how to keep happiness around you... these two things."

After saying that, I held up two fingers.

"I guess I'm not wrong."

"Even so...what do you want to say?"

"Don't be so excited." I smiled and waved my hand, "I don't mean any harm, and I don't have any prejudice against you..."

"..."

"I just want to say." Facing her slightly angry and resistant eyes, I still pointed out the crux of the problem.

"Will the disappearance of the prince you long for really bring happiness to others?"

"..."

"For example...a princess in love with a prince."

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"How are you going to approach?"

Seeing the distance getting closer, Jia Lidu, who had nothing to do with it, couldn't help but start to worry... worried that he would become passively embarrassed because of Lu Yunzi's awkward chat.

"Hmm...I don't know."

Lu Yunzi actually said such words after careful consideration. Jia Lidu couldn't help but start to doubt her true intelligence. Maybe she was just an idiot who happened to know how to learn.

"I don't know..." Jia Lidu repeated in a low voice to express his helplessness.

"What, do you have any objections?" However, this sentence still inadvertently angered Lu Yunzi. Perhaps it was because jealous girls are the easiest to get angry...

"NO, I have not..."

"If you think I'm useless, you can help me think."

"I'm not... stop talking..."

"Ah, I think I know what to do." Lu Yunzi clapped his hands suddenly, finally revealing a happy expression. Seeing this, Jia Lidu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay..." Lu Yunzi said as he dodged behind Jia Lidu and gave him a strong push. Jia Lidu, who was already not far away from them, suddenly accelerated because of the push, and immediately lost his balance. He stumbled to a position parallel to Sun Hao, and then seemed to trip over something and fell to the ground at Sun Hao's feet.

"Ugh!"

How to say it... that guy was really cruel to everyone except Ahao... Jia Lidu thought while feeling the hug with the ground.

“Ah…”

Senior Sun was of course startled by the unidentified object that suddenly appeared at his feet. Only then did he realize that it was a person... and someone he knew.
