The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Li Xiaoyue sat on the chair, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Today she and her friends made an appointment to play Werewolf in a cafe. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Wang Gang and Xie Meilan.

The main reason was that the coffee shop business was poor. There was only one table full of customers, Wang Gang and Xie Meilan, so it would have been hard for Li Xiaoyue not to see them.

Li Xiaoyue originally wanted to leave to avoid embarrassment, but her friend happened to come over and pulled her into the store again.

Li Xiaoyue was sitting quite far away. She could see Wang Gang and Xie Meilan, but she couldn't hear any voices. She could only see Xie Meilan's excited look.

The moment Wang Gang stood up and turned around, Li Xiaoyue subconsciously wanted to hide, but later she realized that she didn't need to hide at all!

When Li Xiaoyue came to her senses, Wang Gang had already left. He made eye contact with Li Xiaoyue before leaving, but said nothing.

Xie Meilan did not leave, but sat down indignantly and drank a glass of water in big gulps, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Later, Xie Meilan took out her cell phone and made a call. After a few minutes, she stood up and left. No one knew where her mind was from beginning to end, and she didn't even see Li Xiaoyue.

Seeing that the two had left, Li Xiaoyue didn't care about anything else and continued playing with her friends. They dispersed a few hours later and went home.

But when Li Xiaoyue walked out of the cafe, she found Wang Gang standing at the door, seemingly waiting for her.

"Xiaoyue." Wang Gang took the initiative to call Li Xiaoyue.

A trace of surprise flashed across Li Xiaoyue's face, but her friend looked at Wang Gang with a gossipy expression.

"Xiaoyue, who is this?"

"This is Shen Lei, my friend." Li Xiaoyue said awkwardly.

"Oh, a friend!" Li Xiaoyue's friend Qianqian obviously didn't believe it.

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, are you done here? I'll take you home."

Li Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Her friends were quite sensible and reacted immediately.

"Xiaoyue, since you have a friend to take you home, let's go first and stop being a light bulb."

Li Xiaoyue blushed and said: "No, you misunderstood, he is not..."

The friends just smiled, gave Li Xiaoyue an ambiguous expression, and said: "Xiaoyue, I thought you must be very unhappy after breaking up with Na Jun, so I asked you out to play. I didn't expect that you have started over. If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have wasted your time."

Li Xiaoyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw her friends’ imaginations becoming more and more exaggerated.

In order to avoid embarrassing Li Xiaoyue, Wang Gang said, "Xiaoyue and I are really just friends. Najun and I also know each other and we are somewhat related. Please don't misunderstand me."

"Ah! Are you and Na Jun related?" The friends were really shocked.

Li Xiaoyue saw her friends' stunned expressions and knew that Wang Gang was making things worse.

"Qianqian, I'm leaving first. I'll explain to you later."

Li Xiaoyue pulled Wang Gang away, fearing that she would make more mistakes if she said too much.

Wang Gang waved goodbye to Li Xiaoyue's friends, then opened the car door and let Li Xiaoyue get in.

Li Xiaoyue's friends started to get angry when they saw Wang Gang's car driving away.

"Xiaoyue is playing with flowers! That relative Jun has even got involved."

"You don't think Xiaoyue broke up with Najun just because of this guy, do you?"

"That's definitely not the case! Don't we know who Xiaoyue is? She likes to play around, but she's definitely serious about relationships, otherwise she wouldn't have been on and off with Najun for three years."

"Qianqian, ask Xiaoyue about Shen Lei later. I think he has a good temperament, much better than that programmer Na Jun."

…………

Li Xiaoyue was sitting in the car and could already imagine her friends gossiping about her behind her back.

While looking at the car, Wang Gang glanced at the distressed Li Xiaoyue and said, "Is it my appearance that brings you trouble?" "Oh, no, my friend just likes to joke, don't mind it." Li Xiaoyue smiled awkwardly:
"Shen Lei, did you wait for me outside the coffee shop on purpose?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "I just met Xie Meilan, you saw it!"

Li Xiaoyue nodded gently and said: "Well, I didn't peek at you on purpose."

Wang Gang said indifferently: "I know, it's just a coincidence today."

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Xiaoyue asked.

Wang Gang said: "I hope you don't tell anyone that I met Xie Meilan today."

Li Xiaoyue was stunned. She didn't understand why Wang Gang wanted to hide the fact that he had met Xie Meilan, but she also knew that it was someone else's privacy.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that my sister will know that I met Xie Meilan in private and think that we have a chance to get back together, so I don't want her to bother me."

"Oh." Li Xiaoyue knew that Wang Gang was making an excuse, but she was smart enough not to ask.

After a moment of silence in the car, Wang Ganggang said, "I heard from my brother-in-law that you broke up with Na Jun?"

Li Xiaoyue admitted generously: "Yes, we broke up. I feel that Na Jun and I are not the same kind of people. It is too hard to stay together. It is better to break up."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Are you serious this time?"

Li Xiaoyue said solemnly: "Yes, seriously, anyway, I am very serious."

In fact, Li Xiaoyue and Na Jun had been in love for three years and had quarreled over their breakups several times. Each time, Na Jun took the initiative to admit his mistakes, Li Xiaoyue forgave him, and then they got back together.

Anyway, after breaking up and getting back together so many times, Na Wei didn't bother to care about his brother's affairs and felt that they would get back together sooner or later.

Wang Gang could actually see that Li Xiaoyue still had feelings for Na Jun, but Na Jun was just a straight man and never cherished her.

"Na Jun is actually a pretty good person. Although he doesn't understand romance, he is very responsible." Wang Gang advised.

"You don't have to say good things about Na Jun. I know he's a good person. He's hardworking and steady. I can easily list a lot of his good qualities." Li Xiaoyue sighed.
"I'm not an ungrateful person, it's just that Jun can't give me what I want."

Li Xiaoyue became emotional, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

"My requirements are actually very simple. I just want a man who loves me and cares for me. I don't ask him to be rich or have a house. I just want him to be devoted to me and give me a shoulder to lean on." Li Xiaoyue said aggrievedly: "Na Jun can't give me a sense of security!"

Wang Gang turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyue with some heartache, then concentrated on driving and said nothing more.

In fact, Li Xiaoyue’s request is very simple, but there are not many people in this world who can do it. Maybe even she herself does not realize that what she lacks is not a boyfriend, but a sense of security.

Maybe because she lost her family when she was young and got used to living alone, what Li Xiaoyue longed for deep down in her heart was a man she could rely on.

Na Jun usually puts his career first, thinking that earning enough money to lay a solid foundation for his future life is enough.

Little did she know that all Li Xiaoyue wanted was companionship and support, but Na Jun could never give her that.

Breaking up was the most difficult decision Li Xiaoyue had ever made, and she was also in pain deep down.

Wang Gang did not choose to comfort Li Xiaoyue because that would be crossing the line. They are just friends and need some sense of boundaries.

After driving the car to the downstairs of Li Xiaoyue's house, Wang Gang opened the door and let Li Xiaoyue get out, but he did not notice a pair of angry eyes not far away.

Wang Gang felt a sense of hostility and turned around, only to find that Na Jun was standing downstairs of Li Xiaoyue's house.

Li Xiaoyue followed Wang Gang's gaze and also found Na Jun.

"Why are you together?" Na Jun rushed over and questioned Li Xiaoyue angrily.

Wang Gang wanted to avoid misunderstanding, so he quickly explained: "I just happened to meet Xiaoyue and sent her home on the way. Don't think too much about it."

"How can there be so many coincidences, Shen Lei, are you trying to hook up with Li Xiaoyue?" Na Jun grabbed Wang Gang's collar angrily. (End of this chapter)
