Chapter 64: 064 I am still trying _1When Lu Qingyi arrived at the snack shop, someone else was standing under the tree where she normally liked to stand.

    "Qingyi."

    Perhaps hearing the footsteps, Tang Yaxin turned her head and smiled, a look of familiarity on her face.

    Tang Yaxin was wearing a white fringed long dress, her hair draped over her shoulders, lightly made up, she seemed ethereal.

    She pursed her lips in a gentle laugh, revealing her sharp little canine teeth, exuding a sense of ladylike demureness.

    "We are not acquainted."

    Lu Qingyi was silent for a moment, speaking coldly.

    She felt particularly uncomfortable when Tang Yaxin spoke to Xu Boyan, she didn’t really like this innocent, gentle girl.

    "Ah, Boyan’s friends are my friends, we grew up together, and our friends are mutual. I believe this time is no exception."

    Tang Yaxin laughed gracefully, readjusted her hair, and looked at Lu Qingyi with a satisfied smile.

    As the quintessential lady, every word and deed from Tang Yaxin carried the grace of a noble lady as compared to Lu Qingyi’s careless attitude, creating a stark contrast.

    Lu Qingyi: "..."

    Feeling a little stifled, very uncomfortable.

    "If you have time, come to Kyoto. I can show you around."

    While Lu Qingyi was silent, Tang Yaxin didn’t feel awkward, she continued speaking in a tender voice.

    Lu Qingyi raised her eyelids lazily, constantly poking at the phone screen, "Not interested."

    She was tired of Kyoto and besides, she was not the type who liked to play around.

    "Kyoto is beautiful, you’ll like it once you visit."

    Tang Yaxin’s lips curved up slightly, she took a few steps closer to Lu Qingyi.

    Her voice was gentle, brimming with goodwill.

    "Kiddo, why won’t you come in?"

    Xu Boyan came out of the snack shop. As soon as he saw Lu Qingyi, his gloomy countenance suddenly cleared up.

    Lu Qingyi nodded and then moved her feet, "Ah, okay."

    "Boyan..."

    Tang Yaxin lightly bit her lower lip, looking somewhat at a loss as she stared at Xu Boyan, her eyes sparkling.

    "This is the last time."

    Xu Boyan’s voice turned a bit frosty, he stared at Tang Yaxin, but ultimately let it go.

    Tang Yaxin instantaneously let out a huge smile, "Thank you, Boyan."

    Claiming her first arrival to the school as an excuse, she wanted to stay for dinner with Xu Boyan, but was flatly rejected by him.

    She called her brother, saying she didn’t have a meal card and couldn’t eat at the school, asking Tang Gaozhuo to talk to Xu Boyan.

    Xu Boyan was very loyal to his friends, and there was a high probability he would agree.

    "Takeout, it’s not your cooking?"

    Lu Qingyi naturally sat at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of vegetable, then looked up at Xu Boyan.

    This wasn’t the taste of Xu Boyan’s cooking, she could tell.

    "I’m a bit tired today." Xu Boyan nodded and said.

    He couldn’t possibly say that he had prepared the meal, but then his friend called asking him to let his sister have dinner, begging him over and over again.

    It is just a meal after all, so he consented. Then he put the cooked food in the kitchen and had Xu Yi order takeout.

    How could he let another woman eat the food he made?

    Certainly not.

    "Boyan, when did you learn to cook?"

    Tang Yaxin was somewhat taken aback, she incredulously stared at Xu Boyan.

    Xu Boyan had always been very outstanding and knew a lot, but he had never stepped foot in the kitchen since he was little.

    Did Xu Boyan learn to cook just for Lu Qingyi?

    "Recently."

    Compared to answering Lu Qingyi’s questions, Xu Boyan was always sparing with his words to others.

    "Boyan has never been in the kitchen before. I can’t believe he would learn that after coming to Jin City. Qingyi, you’re truly lucky, enjoying a treat even Lu’s mother doesn’t get."

    Tang Yaxin suppressed the twinge of jealousy in her heart, looking at Lu Qingyi with a smile.

    What merit does Lu Qingyi have?

    She had been by Xu Boyan’s side for so long, yet Xu Boyan never showed any affection for her.

    "Very honored."

    Lu Qingyi looked at Xu Boyan in surprise.

    That makes sense, with Xu Boyan’s family background, how could he possibly cook?

    "Eat more."

    Xu Boyan had a smile at the corner of his mouth, then he picked up the serving chopsticks and put a piece of meat in Lu Qingyi’s bowl.

    Lu Qingyi: "..."

    Didn’t he know she didn’t like to eat meat?

    His voice was very low, with a commanding undertone, "Eat it." sea??h thё N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    How can a thin kiddo not eat meat?

    Alright then.

    Lu Qingyi was staring at the meat in her bowl, looking conflicted, her hand holding the chopsticks still.

    Ah, she didn’t want to eat it.

    After a few seconds of internal struggle, Lu Qingyi finally picked up the chopsticks and ate the meat in the bowl.

    It seemed, the taste was actually not bad.

    Xu Boyan nodded in satisfaction, the little one was pretty obedient.

    Tang Yaxin watched their interaction, a fire burning inside her heart, she was boiling with jealousy, yet maintaining a poker face.

    "Boyan, does your mother know?"

    Tang Yaxin blinked, asking nonchalantly.

    "It’s all the same." Xu Boyan lazily lifted his eyelids.

    His mother was not the type who cared about family background, her requirements were simple, being a girl was enough.

    Unfortunately, the kiddo was not his yet.

    Lu Qingyi: "..."

    Know what?

    "How long have you known each other? How long have you been together?"

    Tang Yaxin held her chopsticks, gave a slight smile, and asked in a rather gossipy tone.

    Xu Boyan had been in Jin City for just under two months, how long could they have known each other?

    Lu Qingyi: "???"

    What did the latter question mean?

    Why does she feel a bit confused?

    "I’m still trying."

    Xu Boyan suddenly laughed, his eyes full of affection as they settled on Lu Qingyi.

    The little one’s emotional intelligence was quite low, if he didn’t say anything, she probably wouldn’t have caught on.

    Lu Qingyi: "???"

    What does he mean?

    Was it what she thought?

    She looked up at Xu Boyan in surprise, her eyes full of incredulity.

    So Xu Boyan did everything because he wanted to pursue her?

    Was she being too vain or was this actually the case?

    Tang Yaxin was suddenly at a loss for words, she blinked lightly, looking at Xu Boyan in disbelief.

    It had always been others chasing Xu Boyan, when did he start pursuing someone?

    They were not even together, she thought they were already a couple.

    This girl, Lu Qingyi, is really lucky. With just a casual rod, she had hooked a big fish, the head of the four major families in Kyoto, the Xu Family.

    "Little one, you should understand what I mean."

    Xu Boyan reached out to pinch the girl’s chin, speaking softly, his tone incredibly gentle.

    The little one is so smart, she must be able to understand.

    "Probably... maybe... I guess."

    Lu Qingyi quickly lowered her head, swiftly chowing down her food without looking at Xu Boyan.

    Her heart was beating fast.
