The boy on the left was wearing a white shirt, his gentle smile like a spring breeze—warm, clean, and soothing.
The boy on the right, however, had his hands casually stuffed in his pockets, sporting a standard poker face. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line that, despite the coldness, looked rather attractive.
"Huh? Are you guys serious?" Xiyan walked backward with her hands clasped behind her, looking apologetically at Ou Jue and Yin Qianze. "Did you really lose the competition because you saved ?"
"It’s fine, don’t bla yourself," Yin Qianze said softly, his gaze gentle as it rested on Xiyan. "I just said to Ou Jue that if we’d noticed sooner, you wouldn’t have been bullied by Xia Shiyi and Luo Xueying."
Oh no, Qianze is literally the kindest boy in the entire world!
Xiyan was still lost in her feelings of gratitude when Ou Jue snorted coldly, "I never said anything like that. Also, Qianze, stop pampering her. You need to let her feel guilty, make her regret it! She should feel uncomfortable about it!"
Xiyan clenched her tiny fists. "Ou Jue, am I your mortal enemy or sothing?!"
Why was he intentionally provoking her? It’s not like she’d wanted to drag both of them down with her!
She drooped her head in defeat before quickly perking up, her sparkling eyes shining with an idea. "Oh, right! You guys haven’t eaten yet, right? How about I treat you to lunch as my apology? Hmm, I know a place that makes the most amazing clay pot rice. Let take you there!"
Yin Qianze smiled and went along with it, "Sure, I’m good with that."
Xiyan turned her eyes expectantly to Ou Jue.
Young Master Ou, still expressionless, declared flatly, "I won’t even consider any restaurant below five stars."
Xiyan imdiately bypassed Ou Jue and ran over to Yin Qianze’s side. "If he’s not coming, then it’ll just be the two of us!"
Ou Jue gritted his teeth furiously. "Get back here!"
"Why? If you’re not going, why can’t we go without you?"
"Who said I’m not going?"
"Didn’t you just say you wouldn’t consider anything under five stars?"
"That was then!" Ou Jue said with a sour face. "If I feel like going, I’ll go. If I don’t feel like going, I won’t. It’s entirely up to ."
"..." Fine, no matter what, you’re always in the right.
*——*——*
The bustling food street.
Xiyan happily led the way up front.
This food street was the one she and An Ran used to frequent most during middle school.
It was peak lunch hour, and there were tons of students from nearby schools milling around.
The mont Ou Jue and Yin Qianze appeared, the crowd around them was stunned beyond words!
Oh. My. God. Super ridiculously handso guys!!
The kind that’s even hotter than the young celebrities you see on TV!!
Wait a minute, why is there a girl walking with these hotties?
What the heck? This girl’s looks are... so plain? Is there no justice left in the world!!
Xiyan didn’t notice the envious and jealous stares of the love-struck crowd at all. Her eyes were only scanning the nearby stalls with excitent.
"Whoa, this ice cream looks amazing! Boss, I’ll take one!"
"Please give a grilled sausage, thanks..."
"Ooh this, this—I’ll take two!"
Ou Jue glared at her with disdain. "Xia Xiyan, I already know you eat like a pig, so there’s no need to further showcase your talents in that area."
Was this idiot supposed to be taking him and Qianze out for food, or were he and Qianze here to watch her pig out?
Having long been accustod to Ou Jue’s sharp tongue, Xiyan muttered indistinctly around the ice cream in her mouth, "Don’t rush , okay? That clay pot rice shop is just ahead..."
Yin Qianze glanced around doubtfully. "This... It’s always been this crowded, with so much to eat?"
"Of course, it’s a food street! Don’t tell you guys have never been to a food street before!"
