Let her be arrogant

The strange tacit understanding left Sheng Lanqing speechless.

"Let's order."

Gu Huairuo keenly noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two people and handed over the menu at the right time.

This restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine, which is on the lighter side.

Sheng Lanqing didn't eat much food the previous two times.

Xi Yu was angry just now, but now she really had an appetite.

“I’d like a side dish of shrimp and egg soup, and I’d like a side of Huadiao chicken.”

Xi Yu's voice sounded right at the same time as hers: "One piece of rose custard, one piece of fried stuffed tofu, and another piece of orange juice pork chop."

Xie Si had just finished choosing the dishes when he heard the tacit understanding between the two people and almost rolled his eyes indecently.

He said a little narrowly, "Rose, rose, rose. I always light roses every time I go out with you. Have you fallen into the rose pit?"

The male voice with moderate volume sounded like thunder in Sheng Lanqing's ears, making her unable to recover for a long time, as if she had lost her soul.

She was always the one who liked roses, not Xi Yu.

When I was in elementary school, I happened to catch a glimpse of my head teacher's boyfriend, who brought him a large bouquet of roses on Valentine's Day.

Her impression of roses gradually improved.

Even though roses once became synonymous with tackiness, she did not change her love for this simple romance.

This seems to be a utopia that is beyond her reach in her lifetime.

Then, I like the thorns of roses.

No matter how beautiful things are, they must have a tough exterior to protect them.

Otherwise, beauty will only be an inducement to the abyss.

"Besides," Xie Si continued to pick at the trouble, "I remember that among the Cantonese dishes, your favorites are Huadiao Chicken and Wakame Shrimp and Egg Soup."

Sheng Lanqing was shocked when she heard this. She quickly raised her head and looked over, ignoring the complicated look in Gu Huairuo's eyes beside her.

"Miss Sheng, why are you looking at me like this?"

Xie Si noticed her gaze, looked away from Xi Yu, and asked with a smile: "Is there something on my face?"

Sheng Lanqing pursed her lips and said slowly: "There are many people with the same taste, so you don't have to deliberately mention them."

What's more, Xi Yu took her to the Cantonese restaurant first.

She has similar tastes to him, what's so strange about it.

Xie Si smiled even more and asked pretending to be curious: "Yes, yes, why did Miss Sheng need to explain it specifically?"

Sheng Lanqing was speechless.

In short, no matter what, she and Xi Yu just couldn't see clearly.

However, it is true that there is no place for innocence.

She simply broke the pot and said calmly: "He and I broke up not long ago, and there are traces of each other in every aspect of our lives. This is normal, isn't it?"

The interest in Xie Si's eyes became even stronger. As he opened the bowls and chopsticks, he stared at Gu Huairuo and said, "Teacher Gu, you are an excellent psychological talent. Can you try to explain Miss Sheng's behavior from a psychological perspective? "

Gu Huairuo's smile had long since disappeared, and there was a heavy gloom between his eyebrows.

He said word for word: "Men and women in love can't help but imitate the person they love, hoping to get closer to the other person's soul."

"However," he added, "a person will not only fall in love with one person in his life, but also leave traces of one person. This is an ordinary little thing, no need to say more."

After Gu Huairuo finished speaking, he turned his face and looked at Sheng Lanqing intently.

Even a blind man can see the affection in his eyes.

Xi Yu sneered, lowered his eyes and straightened his sleeves, raised his eyes again, and said lightly: "It's not just about loving one person, there is also a prerequisite. That is, the people you love are all of the same type."

Gu Huairuo instinctively observed Xi Yu's appearance and behavior.

He tried to find similarities between himself and the person in front of him. In the end, he had to admit that he had nothing in common with Xi Yu.

"Besides," Xi Yu looked at Sheng Lanqing closely and said unhurriedly, "When did we break up? Why didn't I know?"

Sheng Lanqing opened her eyes wide.

At this moment, her mind went blank.

"This is what you said to me personally. You prefer a peaceful and tranquil life, which is completely different from me, so you want to break up with me."

Sheng Lanqing confusedly repeated Xi Yu's words that day, and continued: "And you also said the reason for the breakup, I know it very well."

She does know that.

Her purpose from the beginning was to use Xi Yu to get out of the Sheng family's damn engagement.

Even after getting along, she rekindled her old feelings for him and developed a little liking for him.

But it is still undeniable that her original purpose was not simple enough.

Xi Yu hated being deceived the most, and he would also hate her who deceived him.

"You can tell me now the reason why I broke up with you."

Xi Yu refused to admit it, her slender figure reflected in his eyes, and said softly: "I really don't know."

Sheng Lanqing was speechless again, suspicion appearing in her eyes.

Could it be that Xi Yu was unwilling to be used by her, so she wanted to take this opportunity to reveal her true identity to everyone?

Or rather, he was not happy to see her living comfortably now and wanted to embarrass her in public.

If it were the Sheng Lanqing of the past, he would definitely remain speechless.

But she has experienced a lot now and no longer cares about this little thing.

The more you are afraid of something, the more you will be forced to face it.

It is better to be open and open, take the initiative to open your wounds, show them to others, and eliminate other people's curiosity.

Sheng Lanqing thought for a moment, organized her words, and said softly: "In order to force me to marry Song Shiyu, the Sheng family put pressure on the theater to replace me with another actor."

"I was nowhere near as capable as I am now, so I had no choice but to admit defeat, but it aroused Professor Gu's concern. He was the only person who was willing to lend a helping hand to me in the past..."

At that time, Xi Yu happened to have left her.

He cut off all contact with her without hesitation, as if he was even remotely tainted by her.

If it weren't for the TV show, Sheng Lanqing really wouldn't have known that he was the son of the Xi family.

She did not complain about his unwillingness to help her, but silently admitted her own unworthiness.

Unless Xi Yu was crazy, he would never agree to the advances of an ordinary girl.

Moreover, this ordinary girl's background and reputation are terrible.

"So," Sheng Lanqing took a deep breath, her eyes were slightly red, and she tried her best to calm down, and continued, "In order not to worry Professor Gu, I bowed my head to the Sheng family and chose to go on a date with Song Shiyu."

"It was a coincidence that I met Mr. Xie. He said something to me, but I misunderstood his meaning and mistakenly thought that he wanted me to try to take a shortcut."

"What shortcuts can I find?"

Sheng Lanqing smiled self-deprecatingly, squeezed the tea cup in her hand, and said calmly: "I had only one choice at that time. So I chose to take the initiative to approach Xi Yu. In fact, I have regretted it."

"Looking back, when I actually do it, I still don't know how to make a man fall in love with me."

"I couldn't stop condemning myself and chose to take advantage of other people's behavior. But I found that I couldn't control the development of the situation."

Sheng Lanqing tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly.

She can no longer stop just by saying she wants to.

The initiative always lies with the powerful.
