Chapter 252 - 253: The Path You’ve Taken (6)
Lou Xi recalled that when she was at school, it seemed that someone bullied the skinny Wang Yi, and then Lou Xi helped him in a fight. Later, it seemed like there was no contact between them, so why did he suddenly send honey grapefruit tea over?
"I can’t accept this!" Lou Xi politely declined, taken by surprise, not knowing what to do and could only refuse.
"It’s nothing, these are handmade by me, you can’t buy them with money." Wang Yi insisted on giving the two cans of honey grapefruit tea to Lou Xi, completely ignoring Qin Mobai standing next to them.
Qin Mobai: ...
"I really can’t accept it, you should keep it for someone else." Lou Xi continued to decline.
Only then did Wang Yi notice Qin Mobai beside him. Being a very simple person from a small town, his emotions were openly displayed on his face, which now showed a clear dislike for Qin Mobai.
However, Qin Mobai did not care for the approval of a stranger.
"Lou Xi, although the outside world is very exciting, it’s also full of bad people, you shouldn’t trust just anyone." Wang Yi said straightforwardly, "People in big cities have a lot of hidden intentions, what they show on the surface is different from what’s inside. You’re a simple girl, don’t be fooled."
Qin Mobai: ...
To say right in front of him that she might be deceived by him? This young man truly is pure!
Lou Xi also felt the atmosphere becoming awkward and immediately said, "No, Mo Bai is a good person, he won’t deceive me. Even if the whole world were to deceive me, he wouldn’t."
In front of outsiders, Lou Xi didn’t want to call Qin Mobai "Young Master Qin," feeling it was a term only meant for the two of them, a small happiness belonging just to them.
Embarrassment appeared on Wang Yi’s honest face, his words were meant for Lou Xi’s good, but Lou Xi was wholeheartedly defending Qin Mobai.
"There’s not going to be ’liar’ written on a liar’s face, Lou Xi, you’ve been deceived by appearances, not everyone is as simple as people from small towns."
Lou Xi knew Wang Yi meant well, but... his words left her unable to respond. She knew well what kind of person Qin Mobai was.
But as she was about to speak, Qin Mobai pulled Lou Xi to his side.
"I have the ability to deceive her for a lifetime. Do you?" It was rare for Qin Mobai to retort like this, and it was the first time he had been so direct.
Wang Yi was utterly speechless due to Qin Mobai’s retort; not only did Qin Mobai win verbally, but he also triumphed in demeanor.
With Qin Mobai’s words, Lou Xi felt she probably didn’t need to say anything more, so she obediently stood by Qin Mobai’s side.
Qin Mobai glanced at Wang Yi and said, "I thank you on Xixi’s behalf for the honey grapefruit tea you personally made. But after all these years, she now prefers freshly squeezed juice."
Wang Yi: "..."
He was completely speechless, could only watch as Qin Mobai left with Lou Xi, while the honey grapefruit tea in his hands seemed so heavy.
After walking a few steps, Lou Xi wanted to turn back to look at Wang Yi, but Qin Mobai directly turned her head around.
"What, you want to go back for that little chubby guy?" Qin Mobai’s tone carried a faint hint of jealousy.
Lou Xi: ??
How can one be jealous of this?
"That little chubby guy likes you."
"How did you tell?" Lou Xi hadn’t noticed at all!
