Chapter 83: Well Done

Lu Yiqi twitched her mouth; although the method was a bit extreme, she had to admit—

“Well done!”

She couldn't help but applaud.

Xie Xu naturally had no interest in listening to Lin Huiran’s long speech, but upon seeing Lu Yiqi clap, he echoed her, “Yes, well done.”

Lin Huiran, already a little proud to have received Lu Yiqi’s praise, now heard Xie Xu compliment her as well.

She couldn’t resist glancing at Xie Xu a few more times.

His features were sharply defined, like they had been carved, and his handsome face was striking.

Tsk, so handsome it’s heart-stirring.

And that temperament—so distinctive, so in line with her own tastes.

But he already had someone he liked.

Lin Huiran shrugged and dismissed the idea of pursuing Xie Xu.

Yet, after a moment’s thought, she felt somewhat unwilling to let it go.

She took out her phone, smiling at the two of them. “Meeting by chance is fate. Since we’ve crossed paths here, we’re friends now, right? How about adding each other on WeChat?”

Lu Yiqi was always eager to make friends, so she readily took out her phone and displayed her QR code. After Lin Huiran scanned it, Lu Yiqi immediately accepted the friend request.

Lin Huiran then turned her gaze to Xie Xu, her intention clear.

Only you remain.

Xie Xu: “…”

He turned to look at Lu Yiqi. “Should I really add her?”

“Of course, isn’t making friends a good thing?”

Xie Xu blinked. You’re something else, even encouraging me to add another woman.

Perhaps provoked by Lu Yiqi, Xie Xu’s rebellious streak was awakened.

You want me to add another woman’s WeChat? Fine, Xie Xu will do it just to show you.

His world didn’t revolve solely around Lu Yiqi.

…Damn.

Xie Xu opened his QR code, and Lin Huiran swiftly scanned it, afraid he might change his mind the next second. “I’ve sent the request, please accept it.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yiqi watched their exchange, feeling inexplicably unsettled inside.

How odd, why did she feel so stifled?

Making friends was supposed to be a joyful thing.

She herself had urged him to add Lin Huiran.

Damn.

Such thoughts were truly strange.

She shook her head, banishing the idea.

…

Lin Huiran’s school required students to board, but the dorms were luxurious twin rooms. Her roommate was the very friend she’d mentioned earlier.

Her friend’s name was Xu Xiaole.

Xu Xiaole, seeing Lin Huiran return, put down her phone. “You’re back, Huiran.”

“Yeah,” Lin Huiran replied, pulling out a chair and sitting down. “Xiaole, let me tell you, I avenged you today. I spent three days chasing down that scumbag, then dumped him today. You have no idea how green his face turned—I really regret not filming it for you to see.”

Mentioning the scumbag, Xu Xiaole was visibly affected.

Seeing her friend hadn’t emerged from her sadness, Lin Huiran patted her shoulder in comfort. “Come on, don’t be upset. Let’s just say we were blind to have liked that jerk! It’s over now, let it go.”

Xu Xiaole: “Mm…” Still not quite lifted in spirits.

Noticing this, Lin Huiran changed the subject. “Let me tell you, I met an incredibly handsome guy today—seriously, super handsome, with such personality, so cool and aloof, just my type.”

Xu Xiaole knew Lin Huiran was deliberately distracting her from unhappy thoughts, so she played along, asking, “Did you get his contact info?”
