Chapter 67: 067 I think we can give it a try_1Two days, for a full two days, Lu Qingyi hadn’t gone to the convenience store, as she got all her meals at the cafeteria.

    Perhaps, she was avoiding something.

    "Qingyi."

    The cafeteria food didn’t sit well with her. After a few bites, Lu Qingyi was unable to eat more. She had just disposed of her food when she saw Tang Yaxin.

    Tang Yaxin was wearing a white long dress as usual, her face filled with a gentle smile.

    Lu Qingyi gave Tang Yaxin a cold glance before preparing to leave.

    "Boyan would never be interested in you."

    Tang Yaxin reached out to grab Lu Qingyi’s sleeve, speaking softly.

    Lu Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

    "You’re pretty and have a strong personality. It’s normal for Boyan to be interested in you."

    Smiling softly, her tone was gentle.

    For the past two days, she hadn’t seen Lu Qingyi at the convenience store, but often spotted her in the cafeteria.

    Lu Qingyi scoffed: "Hmph."

    "Wasting food is wrong."

    She tilted her head, eyes fixed on Lu Qingyi’s profile.

    The food in the cafeteria is unpalatable. She always eats food from outside.

    For someone who grew up in the countryside, like Lu Qingyi, to be finicky about the food was simply pretentious.

    Lu Qingyi retorted, "Are you really that bored?"

    Her hands slipped into her pockets, her expression frosty.

    "I am only reminding you."

    Tang Yaxin responded after a moment of surprise.

    This girl’s manners were so wild; if it weren’t for her face and figure, she might have mistaken Lu Qingyi for a boy.

    There was no femininity about her. Her voice was cold, her gestures unrefined.

    "What I do is none of your business."

    Lu Qingyi scoffed again, amusement apparent on her face as she looked at Tang Yaxin.

    Tang Yaxin was becoming rather intrusive, which was annoying her. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Men prefer gentle women. Gentle women can arouse their protective instincts. Boyan is interested in you because you’re unique, but given some time, you will prove unimportant to him."

    Tang Yaxin bit her lip, stating softly, her eyes twinkling with a tender smile.

    "We’ve known each other since childhood, I understand him very well."

    Without a word from Lu Qingyi, Tang Yaxin continued, her eyes beaming with pride.

    Lu Qingyi found that particularly grating.

    Especially that ’We’ve grown up together’ part.

    She didn’t know why, but hearing that made her feel uncomfortable.

    "I have found an answer."

    Lu Qingyi lifted her gaze, sneering at Tang Yaxin as she spoke.

    If it made her uncomfortable, she could at least try to combat it.

    Tang Yaxin was confused, and could only watch as Lu Qingyi walked towards the convenience store.

    "Kid, you haven’t been around for two days."

    Xu Boyan was still sitting there, casually as ever, though he looked a bit grim. When he saw Lu Qingyi, his eyes softened.

    He slowly stood up, his voice somewhat aggrieved.

    Lu Qingyi bit her lip and stared at Xu Boyan without saying a word.

    "Do you have an answer?"

    Xu Boyan pulled a bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy from his drawer, handed it to Lu Qingyi casually, as if it didn’t matter to him at all.

    His heartstrings taut, he was nervous.

    In all these years, he had never felt so tense.

    This time, it was because of Lu Qingyi, because of Lu Qingyi’s answer.

    "I might not like you very much, but at least I don’t hate you. I think we can give it a try."

    Lu Qingyi pondered for a moment before speaking up slowly.

    If Xu Boyan was the sunshine in her life, she’d be willing to embrace it.

    "Girlfriend." Xu Boyan suddenly burst into laughter, eyes gleaming as he looked at Lu Qingyi.

    He was overjoyed.

    "Boyfriend."

    Lu Qingyi grinned, extending her right hand to Xu Boyan.

    In the future, she might not be alone.

    Xu Boyan laughed, extending his right hand to grasp that of Lu Qingyi.

    Tang Yaxin was standing not too far away, her fists clenched tight, biting her lips hard.

    It appeared as if she had inadvertently helped them...

    Why?

    She liked Xu Boyan so much, and many people knew she liked Xu Boyan, but why didn’t Xu Boyan himself know?

    If it weren’t for her affection for Xu Boyan, how could she possibly have come to this tiny city, this Jin City that’s so hard to locate on a map?

    "Miss Tang."

    Xu Yi was holding a pile of packages and addressed Tang Yaxin respectfully.

    He nodded slightly at Tang Yaxin.

    "Xu Yi, are these all packages for Boyan?"

    Tang Yaxin smiled gently, her voice soft and low.

    In the eyes of everyone, Tang Yaxin was a gentle and kind girl, and she had always presented herself as such.

    "Some are for Lu Qingyi."

    Xu Yi’s tone wasn’t very pleasant.

    Miss Tang, Lu Qingyi.

    Just from the terms of address, it was clear who Xu Yi respected more.

    In front of Xu Boyan, he dared not call Lu Qingyi by her name, but when speaking with others, he would not address her as Miss Lu.

    Xu Yi still didn’t think Lu Qingyi was fit for Xu Boyan.

    Tang Yaxin grinned, a hint of bitterness in her smile, "Qingyi sure is lucky."

    A minuscule expression emerged on the usually deadpan face of Xu Yi, "Miss Tang is kind-hearted."

    Yes, the Tang Yaxin in his eyes was very kind, spoke softly, had a good temperament.

    He was well aware of Tang Yaxin’s feelings for Xu Boyan. The only regret was that Xu Boyan was interested in Lu Qingyi.

    Xu Yi believed that only a gentle lady like Tang Yaxin was worthy of Xu Boyan.

    Tang Yaxin shook her head, "What’s the use of being kind?"

    Her eyes slightly lost their shine, her gaze lowering.

    A spark glittered in her eyes.

    She noticed that Xu Yi did not like Lu Qingyi.

    Who would like a person with Lu Qingyi’s character?

    Xu Boyan must have seen plenty of gentle girls and took a liking to an indifferent one as a change of pace.

    Xu Boyan couldn’t really like Lu Qingyi.

    Tang Yaxin thought to herself.

    "Miss Tang, you came to Jin City to be with Mister Xu, right?"

    Xu Yi asked directly, fixing Tang Yaxin with a certain gaze.

    He has been with Xu Boyan for a long time. Tang Yaxin’s little thoughts had always been evident to him, and it was a pity that Xu Boyan did not notice them.

    He thought Xu Boyan and Tang Yaxin were quite a match. The gap in their families didn’t seem too large on the surface, one was cold and the other was gentle, they complemented each other.

    "You noticed it, but he didn’t."

    Tang Yaxin forced a smile, shaking her head slightly.

    "Miss Tang..."

    Xu Yi, a grown man, didn’t know how to comfort people, and seemed to be at a loss for words.

    "It’s fine, I’ll head to class."

    The gentle smile remained on Tang Yaxin’s face as she spoke softly.

    The moment she turned around, her eyes seemed to grow dark.

    Lu Qingyi, oh Lu Qingyi, without the affection of people around Xu Boyan, how can you justify standing by his side?
