Chapter 12: Calculation
Worried, Tang Youmi also went upstairs after tidying up Xiaobang obediently. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xu Anran, who was sitting on the balcony sofa staring into the distance in a daze.
stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xu Anran's eyes schematically,
"Venucia !!" Xu Anran, who had been in a daze, saw a shaking hand suddenly appear in front of him, and his eyelashes stirred, almost without thinking about it, he subconsciously screamed.
But as soon as he turned around and saw the person clearly, the starlight in his eyes immediately dimmed.
Tang Youmi looked at the disappointed Xu Anran, sat down next to her with some distress, and patted her on the shoulder.
"Let's go down, it's almost time to eat. If you have any doubts, go down and ask him personally. โ
"Yuumi, do people really change?"
"Yes."
"Will the person you love change?"
"No, it won't."
"Heh~ Let's go, let's eat."
The two went downstairs one after another, and the people who were still sitting on the sofa looked at the people who came down from the upstairs, their faces were as usual, but they no longer looked at themselves, as if they were deliberately avoiding and seemed to be indifferent.
Xu Anran felt that a pair of eyes had been staring at her since she went downstairs, but she didn't dare to look over, she was afraid, afraid that she would lose control and go crazy.
"Enron, Yumi, you're down, come down and eat some fruit!" Zhang Qiaoling shouted enthusiastically to the two of them, and deliberately moved in to vacate two positions.
Without refusing, Xu Anran pulled Yumi to sit down decisively, picked up a piece of watermelon on the table and brought it to his mouth.
"Let's get there! It's time to eat right away. The little tyrant at the door shouted loudly.
A group of people all moved to the courtyard at the back of the villa and took their seats. Tang Youmi saw that there was still a seat left next to An Ran, and just as he wanted to step forward, he was preempted by a person wearing a black shirt who suddenly rushed over.
"Lin Muyang? What are you doing here?!! Xu Anran looked at the person next to him with a leisurely face, and his eyes widened in fright.
"What? Did I surprise you so much? โ
"It's not your rock club's party today."
"Hmm, blame your elder Li Chen, you have to call me over."
"Yes! I've forgotten that you're friends. โ
"More than that."
"What?"
"Do you see the woman next to Yang Qichen?"
His heart sank, and Xu Anran was silent.
"He's my cousin."
He nodded thoughtfully and did not speak.
His heart became more and more stuffy, Xu Anran picked up the wine in front of him and poured it full of his own and Lin Muyang's cups.
"Let's go?"
"Heyโwith the amount of alcohol you drink, you're looking for abuse."
"Less nonsense." As he spoke, he raised his wine glass, and almost without thinking, the glass went straight to the bottom.
"Hiss-" A burning sensation passed through his throat, and Xu Anran couldn't help but make a sound.
"Well, the wine is strong! Don't underestimate this bottle of Jiang Xiaobai. Still not coming? โ
"Come on!! Come, pour it full. โ
Smiling in a chic manner, Lin Muyang poured the wine full and handed it to Xu Anran. Xu Anran took the wine glass, and was about to send it to his mouth, when a hand suddenly stretched out, and he snatched Xu Anran's cup with one hand.
"Xu Anran !!" Yang Qichen drank the wine in one gulp, put down the wine glass, and looked at the woman with a smile on her face angrily.
Everyone present looked at it.
"Professor Yang, what do you mean by that?"
"I just can't see my students, or the schoolgirls who drink so much in front of me."
"If Professor Yang is so conscientious, he can consider downgrading the level and teaching primary school students."
After listening, Yang Qichen only felt that his head was black.
Teaching elementary school students?
This is really what she Xu Anran can say.
"Hahaha - I didn't expect Professor Yang to be so handsome, and he is so good at taking care of people, girls drink less, let's eat, eat."
Li Chen, who was on the side, looked at the awkward atmosphere, afraid that it would get more and more intense, so he hurriedly came out of the round.
No one wanted to offend a teacher, and when they heard the voice, they all withdrew their eyes. There were only two people in the audience who were silently watching all this.
"You move that way."
Looking at the man who spoke to him, Lin Muyang smiled, got up directly and walked to Lin Zhenrong and sat down.
Seeing that the people had already walked away, Yang Qichen decisively sat down in Lin Muyang's original position.
Looking at Yang Qichen, who was already seated, Lin Muyang withdrew his gaze, and then turned to the person beside him.
"Cousin, long time no see."
"You know how to call your cousin."
"Wasn't it just busy? Don't you see it. โ
"She's a lot smarter than I thought."
"Or I like her!"
With a smile on their lips, the two raised their glasses and took a drink.
Xu Anran was affected by the low pressure next to her, and she kept her head down and ate silently, and no one dared to pour wine into her cup, but there were many people who toasted Yang Qichen and drank a lot.
"I'm full, you eat slowly." As soon as you say a word, you will put down the dishes and chopsticks and leave the table directly.
Yang Qichen's chopsticks that stretched out to pick up the vegetables froze in mid-air, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, but they returned to normal in an instant.
After eating, Xu Anran stepped to the pool and walked around the pool casually. It was already dark, and the wind was a little strong halfway up the mountain, and she felt a little cold.
"Mr. Xu looks very comfortable~"
A voice suddenly sounded beside him, and Xu Anran turned his head sideways and saw Lin Zhenrong holding a canned beer.
"How do you know my surname is Xu?"
"When I was in the United States, I often heard Venucia mention you."
"Often... Heh, but Miss Lin didn't look like she knew me just now, oh, by the way, it was the same in the restaurant last time! Very raw and cooked. โ
"Hehe, I just heard Qichen mention you, so naturally I'm not familiar with it. Would you like to drink a little? With a smile, he handed another can of beer in his hand to Xu Anran.
"Thank you." He calmly took the beer, took it open, and took a sip.
"You're not curious, did he tell me anything about Miss Xu?"
"It's just some bad things about growing up, I grew up with him since I was a child, and there are other things that I don't know with him, so there's nothing to be curious about."
"Yes, I'm really doing this too much, I forgot that classmate Xu and Venucia can also be regarded as childhood sweethearts, I just don't know, how much did classmate Xu hear about the story before the age of 10 years old, but seeing that Venucia defended classmate Xu so much just now, the relationship between the two must be extremely close, and they should know each other very well."
In a word, as if he had caught a fatal acupuncture point, Xu Anran only felt that his hands and feet were about to freeze in place, and he unconsciously clenched the beer can.
"I drank a little too much, so I'll go first."
"Huhโwait." The arm was suddenly grabbed, and Xu Anran's raised leg fell down again.
"Miss Lin, is there anything else?" He turned his head expressionlessly and replied coldly.
"You and Venucia are already in the past, there are some things I don't want to say too clearly, I hope you can learn by yourself."
"Heh, it seems that Miss Lin is not clear enough about some things! Didn't Yang Qichen tell you? I'm going to get engaged to him. โ
"What do you say!!" One sentence blocked Lin Zhenrong's face and was about to be deformed, and he dragged Xu Anran's arm and forced her to the edge of the pool.
Xu Anran looked at a group of figures leaning towards the pool not far away, and showed a meaningful smile.
"I don't know if Miss Lin is thinking about pushing me down or going down by herself? It doesn't feel good in any way, so let's just help Miss Lin. โ
After speaking, Xu Anran moved away, and was dragged by Lin Zhenrong's arm and shook it hard, and Lin Zhenrong threw himself into the pool with a wine can.
Lin Zhenrong couldn't swim, and when he was suddenly pushed into the pool, he was so frightened that his soul was about to disperse, and he struggled desperately in the pool.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the crowd, only to hear a bang, and then countless splashes of water splashed on Xu Anran's body.
Xu Anran looked at the leaping figure, and the anger and coldness accumulated in his heart gradually spread from the bottom of his heart to his pupils.
wiped the splash on his face, and looked at the man in the pool who kept walking by the shore with Lin Zhenrong looking at him with a pair of eyes, some were puzzled, some were incredible, and even unbelievable. Xu Anran suddenly felt a little ridiculous. She just borrowed Lin Zhenrong to give it a try, even if she didn't push it, as a smart woman, Lin Zhenrong would still choose to go into the water, rather than waiting to be framed and speechless, it was better to sit down, so as not to suffer.
But how could my heart hurt so much! Because is the person who dived Yang Qichen, yes, that's Lin Muyang's cousin, Lin Muyang didn't rush into the water, what is he Yang Qichen......
Finally went ashore, Yang Qichen immediately took the towel and wrapped Lin Zhenrong in his arms. Lin Zhenrong kept leaning his head against his chest, his whole body was trembling, and there were tears on his face, looking pitiful.
"It's okay, it's okay...... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid......" Yang Qichen kept wiping her arm with a towel, wanting her to relax.
"Enron, you, why are you, you want to push me......" Lin Zhenrong asked with an aggrieved face, and even his voice trembled.
It's a really good acting. Raising his lips, Xu Anran did not respond, but looked at Yang Qichen, who was also staring at him suspiciously.
"Between us, after all, there is a strangeness."
He touched his face again, left a word, threw away the beer in his hand, ignored everyone, and walked away.
Yang Qichen only felt that his heart was slammed together by a hand, he understood, and in those words was her Xu Anran's endless disappointment in him Yang Qichen.
Is it my own fault?
When passing by Lin Muyang's side, Lin Anran said sorry softly, the voice was not loud, but it was enough to be heard by Lin Muyang.
Smiling at her, Lin Muyang nodded slightly.
He would not refuse her apology, although all this was just the calculation of the three of them, but after all, it was his cousin as a sacrifice, and it was inevitable that he would not be a little unhappy in his heart.
It's just a pity that Yang Qichen was just unintentionally tempted, but he didn't expect to use too much force.
