Li Jiayuan was very happy inside. She had thought that Xia Jing wouldn’t be able to persuade Xiao Wei to et her, and even if she could persuade him, it would take so ti. But to her surprise, Xia Jing had managed it so quickly.
Li Jiayuan hurriedly replied to Xia Jing’s ssage, "Have you told him when to co out for the eting?"
Xia Jing knew that Li Jiayuan was very excited, and she quickly replied, "Miss Li, I know you’re excited, and I understand how you feel right now, but please control your emotions, OK?"
Seeing the ssage from Xia Jing, Li Jiayuan took several deep breaths before she felt her mood begin to settle down. She quickly started typing on the keyboard.
"No problem, just tell quickly! [Beg/Beg]"
"I forgot to tell him when to et [Embarrassed/Embarrassed], how about I go now and ask if he can et tomorrow? What do you think?" When Xia Jing was chatting with Xiao Wei, she had managed to persuade him to agree to a eting, but in her excitent, she forgot to set a ti for it.
Upon reading Xia Jing’s ssage, Li Jiayuan, who had been a bit disappointed, perked up like willow branches in spring, suddenly regaining vitality. She excitedly typed, "Great, great, great, then please help ask him quickly [Grin/Grin]"
Xia Jing felt speechless at Li Jiayuan’s reply.
Without continuing to reply to Li Jiayuan, Xia Jing went to check Xiao Wei’s ssages. Seeing that he was still online, she hurriedly asked, "Xiao Wei, I forgot sothing. How about setting the ti to et Li Jiayuan tomorrow morning at ten?"
Xiao Wei, seeing that Xia Jing was still contacting him about Li Jiayuan at this late hour, felt that regardless of whether he was willing or not, he couldn’t let down the heartfelt effort Xia Jing had put in for him.
"Elder Sister Xia, it’s whatever you say!"
"Alright, if that’s settled, then let’s et tomorrow morning at ten at Star Coffee Shop, no absence allowed!"
"Okay."
After replying to Xia Jing, Xiao Wei imdiately turned off his computer and lay in bed, thinking about what Xia Jing said to him today. Honestly, what she said hit him hard, but he still didn’t want Li Jiayuan to be gossiped about because of him. Now his mind was in turmoil; he didn’t know whether he should reject Li Jiayuan tomorrow.
After receiving Xiao Wei’s reply, Xia Jing went straight away to send a ssage to Li Jiayuan.
"There you go, Xiao Wei has agreed to et tomorrow at ten in the morning at Star Coffee Shop without fail. I can only do so much, the rest of the path you must walk on your own," Xia Jing told Li Jiayuan.
"Alright, I’m already very grateful that you could help this far, I will do my best for the rest."
"Oh, and Xiao Wei is quite pitiful, if you two get together, please treat him kindly. Don’t be throwing Miss Li temper tantrums at every turn! No matter what Xiao Wei says to you tomorrow, you have to keep chasing him unrelentingly," worried about Xiao Wei, Xia Jing knew what kind of temper Li Jiayuan had. She didn’t want Xiao Wei to end up suffering from Li Jiayuan’s temper tantrums after they got together.
Li Jiayuan felt sowhat unhappy inside upon hearing Xia Jing say that she threw temper tantrums all the ti, but after thinking it over, she didn’t say much. She knew that Xia Jing was looking out for Xiao Wei, and she understood that Xia Jing was afraid Xiao Wei would be wronged.
"Don’t worry, I won’t treat him like that, thank you for telling so much!"
Xia Jing, seeing the ssage from Li Jiayuan, didn’t reply and just went offline.
Li Jiayuan was thrilled to pieces in her bedroom as she thought, "I can finally see you again, I hope you won’t reject this ti."
Li Jiayuan clasped her hands together and prayed to the heavens, hoping that Xiao Wei wouldn’t reject her.
She drifted off to sleep in a daze and when she woke up the next morning, it was already seven o’clock. She hurriedly climbed out of bed, freshened up, grabbed her backpack, and ran to the coffee shop.
She arrived at the coffee shop right at eight, sitting down in the chair breathlessly and drank two large glasses of water. Glancing at the ti, she felt it was still early, so she browsed on her phone until nine o’clock, when Xiao Wei arrived as expected. As he entered the door, he imdiately saw Li Jiayuan sitting there alone and walked over to her like a gentleman.
"Sorry, I’m late!" Xiao Wei greeted Li Jiayuan politely.
Upon hearing the voice she had longed for day and night, Li Jiayuan chanically turned her head to look behind herself and saw the person she had been thinking of. She was excited yet also felt embarrassed, and she stamredly replied, "It’s okay, I haven’t been here long myself, please sit down!"
"Waiter, two cups of coffee, regular!" they requested in unison, both of them feeling embarrassed as their faces turned red.
"So you drink regular coffee too?" Again, they spoke at the sa mont. The coffee-selling waitress chuckled, finding these two to be really in sync, even saying the sa things.
The smiling waitress brought the coffees to Li Jiayuan and Xiao Wei, and again they both asked simultaneously, "How much is it?"
Both feeling sheepish, the waitress smiled at Li Jiayuan and Xiao Wei and said, "You two really are a pair, saying the exact sa thing. In all my years, I’ve never seen anyone as in tune as you two. Today these two cups of coffee are on ."
Li Jiayuan laughed awkwardly, but inside she was very pleased because the waitress had referred to her and Xiao Wei as a couple.
After the waitress left, Xiao Wei got straight to the point, "You didn’t ask out just to have a cup of coffee, did you?"
Li Jiayuan didn’t expect Xiao Wei to be so blunt; she had thought that at the very least, he would share a few warm words with her.
Li Jiayuan was taken aback and answered, "No, of course not, I’ve liked you for a long ti, and I was wondering if you could..."
Before Li Jiayuan could finish her sentence, Xiao Wei bluntly said, "Jiayuan, I know what you want to say, and I admit that I indeed like you, but I will not agree to be with you."
Hearing Xiao Wei say this, Li Jiayuan didn’t understand why two people who clearly loved each other couldn’t be together, and she asked back, "Can you tell why?"
Xiao Wei sighed and said to Li Jiayuan, "Jiayuan, I’ve liked you since the first day I t you and I still do now, but do you realize, our relationship has no future. Elder Sister Xia talked to a lot yesterday. When I refused to et you, she pleaded with to see you, and I agreed because I didn’t want to let her down. I ca to et you, and I know it hurts you to hear say this, but please forgive . Rather than having you put up with others’ gossip because of , I’d prefer not to be with you. I know you don’t mind, but I do; I can’t let your reputation be ruined because of ."
Li Jiayuan countered, "You know full well I don’t care about that, you know my feelings for you, so why are you still rejecting ? If you ca here today just to reject , then why co at all? Do you want to embarrass on purpose?"
Li Jiayuan asked through her tears.
Seeing Li Jiayuan like this caused Xiao Wei’s heart to ache as if it were being squeezed. He forced himself to say, "I ca to explain things to you face to face, otherwise I would not have co to see you!"
Li Jiayuan ran out crying, and as Xiao Wei watched her retreating figure moving away from him, he silently said, "I’m sorry, Jiayuan, forgive my cruelty. You will find soone much better than ; perhaps we’re just not ant to be."
