35: Chapter 35 Chaos, or Falling for an Old Love Again_1 35: Chapter 35 Chaos, or Falling for an Old Love Again_1 The place they were going to was a mid-range restaurant with private rooms, serving Sichuan cuisine.
Upon seeing the three vertical lines of the character ‘川’, Nanxi’s brows knitted together.
She loved spicy food, but she was allergic to it.
The worst time, she broke out in red hives all over her skin.
Li Weihuan, who hadn’t left by then, was with her around the clock during those few days; he was as distressed as if it had happened to himself!
Li Weihuan loved spicy food, which was known to all who knew him.
However, ever since he met Nanxi, he had changed his taste to mild food!
But just because Li Weihuan could accommodate her, didn’t mean everyone else could!
Nanxi hesitated, but Yang Su was the first to speak, “Does Yan Chenqing want to get beaten up?
Doesn’t he know that Nanxi can’t eat spicy food?”
Bai Yuchuan didn’t say anything, but Zhang Mu immediately called Yan Chenqing, who was explosive on the other end of the line.
“Who stipulates that all dishes at a Sichuan Restaurant are spicy?
Do you know what I’ve gone through to scour through dozens of pages of the menu to order a table full of mild dishes?”
This Sichuan restaurant was run by a friend familiar with Yan Chenqing.
His friend had insisted that Yan come for a meal, but Yan Chenqing felt that it would be boring to dine alone!
So, he took this opportunity to invite everyone over…
Nanxi felt a little embarrassed, her head lowered slightly, her face flushed.
Yang Su cleared his throat, “Then let’s… go in!
I’m about to faint from hunger!”
Having said that, she leaned her entire body onto Zhang Mu, looking weak and fatigued…
The environment of the Sichuan restaurant was quite good.
As everyone entered the private room, Yan Chenqing’s friend greeted everyone and then left.
Unexpectedly, she was a woman!
After the woman left, Zhang Mu nudged Yan Chenqing with his elbow, “What’s the deal?
You think I’m like you!” Yan Chenqing threw away his cigarette butt.
Though his movements were inelegant, he was very handsome, and every movement of his seemed teeming with artistry!
Everyone took their seats.
Yang Su and Nanxi sat together, and Lan Qiqi sat between Zhang Mu and Yan Chenqing.
The dishes were indeed mild when they came.
Lan Qiqi said, “It’s so boring to just eat food.
Nanxi frowned, “Lanlan, you have to defend your thesis in the afternoon!”
Lan Qiqi raised an eyebrow, “Don’t worry, a little drink won’t hurt!”
Zhang Mu tried to persuade her, “Lanlan, take it easy.
Today is special, defending your thesis is more important!”
Lan Qiqi leaned in close, hooking her hand around Zhang Mu’s neck, her breath soft and sweet, “What?
Don’t trust my drinking capacity, or don’t trust my ability?”
Yang Su said, “Let’s order beer, it’s safer.
Lanlan knows her limits!”
No one objected, so Yan Chenqing could only order beer.
The one who brought the beer was Yan Chenqing’s friend.
Nanxi took a good look at her and felt that the woman seemed to be in her late twenties.
Although not extremely beautiful, she carried a good temperament.
She placed two large glasses of beer on the table and politely said a few words before leaving.
Before she left, she glanced at Yan Chenqing, but Yan Chenqing kept his gaze lowered and did not look back at her!
Even so, Nanxi still faintly sensed that woman probably held feelings for Yan Chenqing, despite the age difference!
Sighing, Nanxi ate some peanuts by her hand, and her gaze drifted to the computer on the small table behind Zhang Mu.
It seemed that the files had finished transferring.
Thanks to her good vision, she noticed at a glance!
Despite everyone’s advice, Lan Qiqi still drank two glasses of beer.
Fortunately, she was not drunk.
Lan Qiqi said, “You all underestimate me.
Beer is like water to me!”
Yan Chenqing rode his motorcycle, put on his helmet, and prepared to leave first, leaving Zhang Mu and Bai Yuchuan to drive Nanxi and the others back to school.
But Lan Qiqi grabbed Yan Chenqing’s arm, “I want to experience the thrill of racing against the wind.
Will you allow that?”
Nanxi was stunned, Yang Su frowned, Bai Yuchuan and Zhang Mu both had poker faces.
Yan Chenqing didn’t say anything but walked to the front of the motorcycle to put on his own helmet… It seemed that he intended to leave!
Nanxi wanted to pull Lan Qiqi away, hoping to defuse the situation, but as soon as she lifted her foot, she saw Yan Chenqing suddenly throw another helmet from the backseat to Lan Qiqi, “Hurry up, I have things to do in the afternoon!”
Even after getting in the car, Nanxi still couldn’t understand.
She leaned towards Yang Su and asked, “Does Lanlan like Yan Chenqing?”
With a start, Yang Su, who was drinking mineral water, spat it out upon hearing Nanxi’s words, “How is that possible!”
Zhang Mu at the front laughed, “Lanlan and Chenqing attended the same high school for a year and were key members of the sports department.
Later, Chenqing returned to H City and Lanlan also got admitted there.
They happened to meet again, it seems like quite a turn of fate!”
Zhang Mu continued in a nostalgic tone, “But, Chenqing is unlikely to love anyone, and Lanlan, on the other hand, doesn’t seem like… Of course, as to whether they like each other or not, it’s hard for those not involved to say.
Only those two know what’s in their hearts!”
“Don’t mess around, Lanlan would never like Chenqing!
Lanlan does have someone she likes, but it’s definitely not Chenqing!” Yang Su, who was next to Nanxi, refuted immediately.
Zhang Mu shrugged, indicating he wouldn’t say more.
Nanxi prudently closed her mouth.
When they returned to the dormitory, Lan Qiqi had not yet returned.
Han Baobao was on the Internet in the dormitory.
Upon seeing them, she asked, “Where did you guys go for lunch?
Besides, Nanxi, why didn’t you pick up my call…”
She took out her phone and checked the call record.
There was indeed a call!
Nanxi remembered that she had left her phone on the table when she went to the restroom during lunch, around the same time of the call.
She glanced at Yang Su who walked in through the door without any expression on her face….
“I’m sorry, I was out and it wasn’t convenient to answer, so I hung up!” Nanxi explained to Han Baobao.
Han Baobao responded with an “Oh”, her mood didn’t seem to be affected as she eagerly started sharing the gossip she had heard with Nanxi.
I heard that Lu Yinchu came to our school today!”
“Ah…” Nanxi gasped, she turned her head incredulously to look at Han Baobao, as if to confirm whether what she just said was true!
Han Baobao was absolutely certain, “It’s true, many students saw it.
They said he stayed in the Principal’s office for over two hours, and no one knows what he was doing.
Anyway, the Principal wasn’t there, the dean wasn’t there… It was just him and his assistant in the Principal’s office, later, Mr.
Chen?” Nanxi knitted her brows.
Han Baobao said, “…But I heard that when he left, he didn’t look very good.
I don’t know what Lu Yinchu said to him, or what he did… Anyway, it’s so weird!”
