Chapter Forty-Six: Flim Flam
"You should know that I like you." Although Ji Weiyang felt that it was a little awkward to confess in this situation, it was better than being hated directly, so he said frankly: "Although I like you, I don't want to trouble you." ”
Xu Xiangsi pursed his lips, "Since you understand what I mean, you should keep your distance from me in the future and don't cause unnecessary misunderstandings to others." ”
Ji Weiyang frowned slightly, "I want to do that too, but you always have to give me time to cool down slowly, and besides, you don't hate being with me, do you?" Why can't you try to accept me? ”
"Because," Xu Xiangsi gritted his teeth, "because I already have a heart." ”
She knew that this answer was cruel, but in order to avoid Ji Weiyang from pestering her all the time, she would rather let the other party "long pain is better than short pain".
There were not many surprises for Ji Weiyang, he already knew about it as early as the graduation trip.
"Can you tell me who he is?"
Hearing this question, Xu Xiangsi hurriedly shook his head firmly, "I'm sorry, I don't want to cause trouble to him by saying it." ”
Ji Weiyang grabbed the girl's hand on the table, and his tone was a little urgent.
"Didn't you say he didn't like you? So why do you have to be attached to him? Since there is no result, it is better to try to look at other people around you. ”
Xu Xiangsi hurriedly withdrew his hand, "Wei Yang, I know you're fine, but I don't want to think about it yet. ”
This is an indirect rejection of him.
Ji Weiyang's eyes dimmed, but then a glimmer of light flashed again, "I understand, but can we continue to be friends?" I promise I won't overstep, just like the ordinary friends I have now, okay? ”
Xu Xiangsi wanted to refuse with righteous words, but when she raised her eyes and saw the boy's eyes with expectation, she suddenly softened, so she had to reply softly: "Okay." ”
At this moment, Ji Weiyang's hanging heart was put back in his stomach.
He already knew that he would be rejected today, but he was also ready to take a step back, as long as Xu Xiangsi didn't break off his friendship with him categorically, he could stay by her side silently in the name of a friend, maybe one day he could impress her?
The two of them ate dinner a little late, and when they went back, there was even a wave of fewer passers-by on the school's boulevard.
chatting with each other, although they were still a little embarrassed by each other, Ji Weiyang's topic could always arouse Xu Xiangsi's interest, and unconsciously, the atmosphere became as relaxed as before.
"Miss Acacia."
As soon as she arrived at the door of the girls' dormitory, the voice of the old housekeeper suddenly sounded, Xu Xiangsi looked over in surprise, and saw the other party step forward with a smile and hand her the snack bag in his hand.
"You're finally back."
It was Ji Weiyang who took the bag, he took the snacks for the girl, and smiled at the housekeeper as a greeting.
The butler was slightly surprised, seeing that the posture of the two seemed to be very familiar, so he asked, "This is-"
Xu Xiangsi smiled and introduced: "This is my classmate. Wei Yang, this is Mr. Butler of the Leng family. ”
The housekeeper was amazed: Miss Acacia actually called this person so intimately, and the relationship was more than just a classmate.
"Since Miss Acacia has returned safely, I won't bother you." The housekeeper said lovingly, "Miss, take good care of yourself outside, and remember to tell me if you have anything missing." ”
Xu Xiangsi nodded, seeing that the housekeeper was about to turn around, he still couldn't help but ask, "Uncle housekeeper, is the uncle okay lately?" ”
The housekeeper sighed slightly: "The young master has not been in a good mood recently, and I don't know why." By the way, Miss Acacia, you should call back when you are free in the future, I see that the young master is still very worried that you are out alone. ”
Xu Xiangsi smiled lightly: "Forget it, shouldn't he get along with Miss Li very happily?" If my light bulb disturbs me from time to time, I'm afraid it will be disgusting again. ”
The butler was speechless, in his opinion, there was always a strange atmosphere between the young master and Miss Acacia, he vaguely felt what it was, but he felt impossible.
In the end, the butler didn't say much, just added a few words of greeting and left.
"It seems that your uncle doesn't care about you in general." Ji Weiyang watched the old man enter the carriage and said quietly.
Xu Xiangsi hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, "He did spoil me before, but now that I have a girlfriend, I am no longer a particularly important person, and letting the housekeeper ask is just a superficial obligation." ”
Although the girl described it lightly, Ji Weiyang always felt that something was wrong.
After returning to the cold house, the housekeeper reported what he had seen and heard today to Leng Mo, and then stood aside in an orderly manner and waited for the dispatch.
"You're saying Sisi was sent back by a boy?" Leng Mo asked slowly, his eyes dim.
The housekeeper didn't want to say anything, but seeing the young master's consistent concern for Xu Xiangsi, he couldn't help but express his opinion sincerely.
"Yes. I think Miss Acacia should be in love with that boy. When I handed over the snacks, the boy took the initiative to pick them up, and the lady didn't say anything, and it seemed that she usually took care of her. ”
Leng Mo's voice was faint, "They are very close? ”
The housekeeper smiled: "It's a little, and it's so late, the two of them came back together, it looks like they may have been dating before." ”
Leng Mo's handsome face was quietly covered with a layer of frost.
Xu Xiangsi can forget his obsession with him and like others, which should be what he wants to see the most, but this sudden emptiness in his heart......
The next day, after Leng Mo went to the company, he instructed his personal assistant to sort out Xu Xiangsi's recent situation at school and the information of his closest classmates.
Although I don't know why my boss is doing this, the assistant still does everything dutifully.
"Tiviyan"
Looking at a few photos and materials on the desk, Leng Mo couldn't help but squint.
In several photos, the delicate girl and the tall boy are smiling at each other, and the sun casts a brilliant light on their smiling faces, freezing the frame, just looking at the photos can tell how compatible the two are.
If it is this boy who remembers Sisi, he can not object, after all, this person's family background is enough to be right, and his appearance looks thoughtful, but he has some true feelings for Sisi?
After Leng Mo came back to his senses from his thoughts, he was stunned to find that the photo in his hand was crumpled by him.
Could it be that he actually doesn't want Xu Xiangsi to fall in love?
This ridiculous idea was fleeting in Leng Mo's mind, he took a deep breath, and after calming his mind, he dialed Xu Xiangsi's number.
The call was answered quickly, and the girl's voice was as pleasant as ever.
"Uncle?"
Leng Mo said calmly: "Are you in class?" ”
"Nope." Xu Xiangsi replied in seconds, for fear that the man would think that she would delay her class and hang up the phone, "Uncle, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"I can't contact you if there's nothing to do?"
Saying this, Leng Mo himself was surprised, then coughed dryly as if concealed, and then changed the topic: "I wanted to ask how you have been doing at school recently." ”
Xu Xiangsi pouted: "What else can I do if I don't have an uncle?" Isn't it just getting by. ”
"Speak well." The tone of cold ink was not at all rippled by the girl's teasing.
"Okay, I'll be honest, I have three meals on time, listen carefully in class, and have a good relationship with my classmates during breaks, and positive, warm and friendly, everything is OK, you should rest assured now, right?"
After hearing this, Leng Mo didn't continue to greet him, and asked straight to the point: "Are you free for the weekend?" ”
Xu Xiangsi's eyes lit up, "Yes, what does the uncle command?" ”
What "commanded", when did he instruct her from childhood to adulthood? Aren't they all used to her? He had only been out for a long time, and he was described as a strict parent.
Leng Mo said with some amusement: "If it's okay, come back for a meal." You haven't been home in a while, too. ”
When Xu Xiangsi heard this, she wanted to say "The Leng family is not my real home", but when the words came to her mouth, she felt that she couldn't, she was already estranged from a man because of this, and she still didn't want to die after a good call, so she popped out a sticky sentence.
"There are still things, but in order to have a meal with my uncle, even big things can be put aside."
How is this kid learning to be more and more flamboyant?
Ignoring Xu Xiangsi's "teasing", Leng Mo put down the phone after a few brief admonitions.
Thinking that the girl would come back for dinner and be able to see her again, Leng Mo's heart felt a lot more comfortable for no reason.
"Yay! Leng Mo is finally willing to take the initiative to contact me! ”
As soon as he put down the phone, Xu Xiangsi kicked his straight legs on the single bed, especially excited.
She really thought that only the housekeeper would take the initiative to care about her from now on, but she didn't expect to receive a call from Leng Mo, which means that people still care about her!
Perhaps, I miss her a little?
Wen Xuan smiled helplessly: "This is as it should be, no matter how you say that he is also your elder, it is too unreasonable to ignore it, there is no need to be so excited, right?" ”
"Hmph, he was angry with me before, and now it proves that he is still willing to pull down his face to deal with me!" Xu Xiangsi is still just as happy.
Seeing that her friend was in such a good mood, Wenxuan had no choice but to let her go.
In the blink of an eye, it was a weekend, Xu Xiangsi looked forward to the arrival of this day early, so he also took Wenxuan to buy a few new clothes on the street.
Wearing her favorite dress, Xu Xiangsi, who has always been plain, even put on a sweet light makeup, and got into the car back to the cold house with the appearance of an innocent college student.
As soon as he entered the entrance, Xu Xiangsi prepared himself psychologically, and secretly reminded himself not to lose control of his emotions when he saw Li Manxue later, so as not to lower his image in front of men.
"Uncle!"
Accompanied by the girl's Qingyue voice, as soon as Leng Mo raised his eyes, he saw Xu Xiangsi's slender and agile figure jumping in, and he couldn't help frowning.
"It's so old, it's like a child."
“”
It's this sentence again!
