For several consecutive days, Xiao Yufan lived the most ordinary life, yet his relationship with Yu Yihan gradually shifted once again from easing tensions to a stalemate. The reason? Hu Yingluo had recently grown especially close to Xiao Yufan…
“What are you thinking about? You seem distracted. Isn’t having a beautiful girl beside you enough to please your eyes?”
In a very cheap fast-food restaurant, Hu Yingruo looked at Xiao Yufan, whose eyes seemed distant, a faint smile playing on her lips mixed with a touch of mock reproach.
“I was just thinking, it’s a real shame that I have such a beautiful girl beside me and I can’t do anything about it!” Xiao Yufan teased lightly with a shrug, pulling his thoughts back from his reverie.
“I’m not stopping you, what exactly do you want to do then?”
“Better not, I’m afraid I might lose control!” Xiao Yufan quickly turned his head away again. Facing Hu Yingruo’s overt seduction, he still found it hard to cope.
The two fell silent simultaneously. Hu Yingruo tapped her spoon lightly against the plate in front of her, looking so languid and exuding an indescribable charm. Any man witnessing this scene would surely steal glances.
“You…” “You…”
After a long while, the atmosphere grew slightly awkward, and both spoke almost in unison…
“You go first…” A rare blush appeared on Hu Yingruo’s face, which surprised Xiao Yufan. When had Hu Yingruo become so shy?
“Is it because of Yu Yihan? These past few days, our gorgeous girl has been getting so close to me, and I can only think of this one reason…”
“If I say it’s not?” Hu Yingruo was taken aback. In fact, even she herself didn’t know why she had been so close to Xiao Yufan recently. Was it just to provoke Yu Yihan? Or was there already a shadow of Xiao Yufan in her heart…
Xiao Yufan smiled without answering, staring intently at Hu Yingruo as if trying to see right through her.
“Even if I did want to provoke Yu Yihan a little, it doesn’t mean that my closeness to you is intentional. Besides, aren’t we good friends? What’s wrong with our relationship being a bit closer!”
Obviously, Hu Yingruo’s gaze flickered slightly, her intentions having been somewhat exposed, making her feel a bit embarrassed.
“Then that still means there’s some truth to it, right?” Xiao Yufan was somewhat displeased, but then he thought, for him personally, it didn’t really matter—it just felt like he was being toyed with.
“It’s not like that, I…” Hu Yingruo thought Xiao Yufan was angry, and immediately her words became somewhat disordered. Somehow, she found herself caring a lot about this man she hadn’t even known for very long…
“Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile. Besides, being accompanied by a beauty is definitely a lucky thing. I’m sure many people would start envying me…”
Thinking about the relationship between Yu Yihan and Hu Yingruo, Xiao Yufan felt a bit of a headache. This time his relationship with Yu Yihan had turned into a stalemate again, and he didn’t know when it would improve. However, he couldn’t possibly ignore one person because of another.
Spending time with Hu Yingruo made Xiao Yufan feel very happy, at least not particularly oppressive. This was also the first warm feeling he had experienced since Cheng Ying had left.
“It seems I really have turned my luck around…” Xiao Yufan secretly thought. Thinking about the several women in his life, he realized his romantic luck seemed unusually good…
He didn’t let Hu Yingruo accompany him home, as Xiao Yufan genuinely feared that something else might happen between them. He knew that getting involved in conflicts between women was best avoided, or else he might offend both sides.
…
“I’m back…” Habitually, Xiao Yufan greeted Yu Yihan when he returned to their rented apartment, but she clearly had no intention of acknowledging him…
“Hey, you’re not being petty, are you? I just went out with someone else once, why are you jealous now…” Xiao Yufan felt he couldn’t just go along with Yu Yihan’s temper. If he really angered her, his days would surely be tough.
“Jealous? You think I’d be jealous of someone like you? Fickle and boundless, every man is the same…” Yu Yihan seemed disdainful, her words even somewhat harsh. She herself didn’t understand why seeing Xiao Yufan grow so close to Hu Yingruo made her feel so uncomfortable…
“What if I am fickle? Does that mean you have feelings for me? Come on, stop it. I’m single, isn’t it normal for me to have some flirtations with others? Why don’t you try it too…”
“Scumbag!”
Hearing that familiar insult, Xiao Yufan nearly lost his temper. The current Yu Yihan was simply unreasonable. What else could he do besides getting angry…
