Chapter 152: Lu Ziyi, You Don’t Deserve Xiaoxiao!
Lin Chusheng drove to the commercial district, and he told Ye Chuxiao about his summer vacation trip to France with Tang Jie’er.
Ye Chuxiao could hear the sweet tone in Chusheng Gege’s voice; he must really love Miss Jie’er.
Ye Chuxiao recalled what happened during the summer vacation when she visited Ziyi Xuechang’s hometown. The memories were still vivid, but she didn’t mention it to Chusheng Gege.
Perhaps these things would forever remain buried in her heart.
As Lin Chusheng was talking incessantly and Ye Chuxiao was lost in thought, a melodious mobile phone ringtone sounded.
Lin Chusheng’s words stopped abruptly. When did Xiaoxiao’s mobile phone ringtone change to Song from the Mysterious Garden?
It was a duet for piano and violin. Xiaoxiao could play the piano, but the ringtone was a snippet of the violin part.
This reminded Lin Chusheng of the performance by Xiaoxiao and Lu Ziyi at Jin Xian Xuechang’s birthday banquet some time ago. They had performed this very Song from the Mysterious Garden.
Lin Chusheng knew that Xiaoxiao loved this piece the most, but hearing it now made him feel a little uneasy.
Ye Chuxiao answered the phone, and a gentle voice called out, “Ziyi Xuechang.”
For some reason, Lin Chusheng, without even realizing it himself, perked up his ears, wanting to clearly hear the conversation between Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao.
On the other end, Lu Ziyi’s emotions sounded calm and undisturbed. “Xiaoxiao, have you… had dinner yet?”
“Not yet…”
“Let’s have dinner together.” Lu Ziyi invited her immediately, without waiting for Ye Chuxiao to finish.
Ye Chuxiao paused for a moment and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I already promised to have dinner with Chusheng Gege, and Jie…”
“Xiaoxiao,” Lin Chusheng suddenly interrupted Ye Chuxiao and said, “We’re almost there.”
“Oh…” Ye Chuxiao responded.
“In that case, then… Xiaoxiao, enjoy your meal.”
“Goodbye, Ziyi Xuechang.”
“Goodbye.”
The call ended, and Ye Chuxiao felt even more dejected. Something seemed to be pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
“Xiaoxiao,” Lin Chusheng asked casually, “Are you and Ziyi… together?”
“No,” Ye Chuxiao replied faintly.
“Oh.” Lin Chusheng made no comment on this.
He had already guessed that Xiaoxiao and Lu Ziyi were not in a relationship, even though many people at school were spreading rumors that they were in love.
After all, Xiaoxiao still called Lu Ziyi “Ziyi Xuechang” without any hint of intimacy!
Lu Ziyi had good qualities in all aspects, but Lin Chusheng’s heart strongly resisted the idea of Lu Ziyi becoming Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend.
In Lin Chusheng’s view, this was out of a brother’s care for his sister.
Lu Ziyi couldn’t even handle his own messy romantic entanglements, leading to Xiaoxiao being framed by Shui Birong, who changed her excellent Advanced Mathematics grades to failing.
Shui Birong had also publicly humiliated Xiaoxiao multiple times. These debts should all be attributed to Lu Ziyi.
Lu Ziyi lacked the ability to manage his personal relationships, so he didn’t deserve to have Xiaoxiao!
The car continued to drive forward. Lin Chusheng tried to make Ye Chuxiao laugh by bringing up various topics, but Ye Chuxiao remained in low spirits, her expression indifferent.
Lin Chusheng took Ye Chuxiao to the Yulan Pavilion restaurant in the commercial district. When they reached the private room, Tang Jie’er, who was expected to arrive soon from her company, was not there.
Lin Chusheng called Tang Jie’er, and she said she was on her way and asked them to wait.
About half an hour later, Tang Jie’er arrived.
Miss Tang still possessed a generous and elegant temperament. Her striking red dress made her look breathtakingly beautiful.
