Let her be arrogant

Chapter 169 Extra: When You Were Young ()

After Xi Yu quietly listened to her excited words, he continued: "I thought about it carefully today, and I always feel that it is not good to keep denying the person you like."

"A person who can be liked by you must have his own merits. I want to know his appearance or personality, and... where did you meet?"

This is an excellent question.

Sheng Lanqing opened her mouth, but had nothing to say for a moment.

"His appearance and personality..."

She instinctively repeated Xi Yu's words.

"This is my secret, why do you ask?"

Her mind went blank and she threw the question to Xi Yu again.

Xi Yu said calmly: "I just want to check for you, can't I?"

Actually it is possible.

Sheng Lanqing pursed her lips.

Xi Yu was very kind to her, not that she didn't even deserve to know this bit of information.

But how should she tell him?

"He doesn't like me, so little master, you don't have to go to such trouble."

Everything seemed to be understood by Xie Si.

Xi Yu raised her eyes and saw the blooming flowers around her, but she knew they were just flashy and empty.

"You like to paint Chinese paintings, can I take you to see a master?"

Sheng Lanqing didn't expect that his topic would jump so quickly, and couldn't help but ask: "Which master? Why do you suddenly want to take me to see him?"

"There are so many reasons."

Xi Yu chuckled lightly and said casually: "I just want you to understand that you must never place your feelings on anyone, otherwise you will only be drawing water from a bamboo basket, and it will be in vain."

"In this world, the only ones you can rely on are yourself and your own abilities."

After this phone call, Sheng Lanqing didn't see Xi Yu for several days.

No matter whether I send messages or make calls, no one answers.

She almost thought that he had seen through her mind, so he deliberately wanted to avoid getting into trouble with her.

"Sheng Lanqing, what's going on with you?"

Ye Youzhu has been extremely dissatisfied with her these past few days, and muttered: "I don't believe you just didn't realize that Yun Ji deliberately asked you to watch the movie alone that day. Why didn't you agree?"

Ye Youzhu's words were taken for granted, and there was even a bit of complaint.

Sheng Lanqing couldn't help but feel a little funny and asked, "As long as he invites me, do I have to go?"

"why are you not going?"

Ye Youzhu's complaint deepened a lot, and he asked matter-of-factly: "Do you know how much effort I spent trying to find out about his family background? I didn't let him approach you until I was sure that he was of good character, and you did this , which makes people feel disheartened.”

Getting discouraged so easily?

Sheng Lanqing sneered.

That kind of feeling probably has nothing to do with liking.

At least now, her feelings for Xi Yu are far from rising to love, and it is enough for her to hit the wall with Xi Yu several times.

"I'm only a freshman now, so I don't want to think about such long-term things."

Sheng Lanqing's tone became much colder. After speaking, she hurried out of the school gate and rushed to her appointment.

Xi Yu's car was parked in the parking lot near the school.

When Sheng Lanqing arrived, she caught a glimpse of him leaning lazily against the car window with a relaxed expression.

"Little Master, I'm here." She held her breath and rolled her eyes obediently within two steps of him.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Just now a classmate stopped me to talk for a while."

"is it?"

Xi Yu looked at her with pretense of regret and sighed: "It seems that my little master's status in your heart is not very high."

Sheng Lanqing quickly explained: "No, you are the most important person in my heart now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had made a mistake and was even a little angry at her own stupidity.

She knew that the reason why she valued him so highly was because both her parents didn't love her, and she also had a little bit of a girl's desire for love.

But to Xi Yu's ears, one might think that she is ignorant and immature.

"How about it?"

She deliberately joked: "Am I interesting enough?"

Sheng Lanqing paid extra careful attention to Xi Yu's expression, and suddenly noticed that there were light shadows under his eyes, and he looked particularly sleepy.

"Little Master, are you tired? I'm not in a hurry. I don't have to go see the Chinese painting master. You can go home and rest first."

Xi Yu just lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Okay, let's get in the car."

He had been busy at work for several days and almost only slept three or four hours a day. He was extremely exhausted.

But that's not enough to just leave her behind.

Especially based on the fact that he didn't reply to her message for a long time.

After seeing through Sheng Lanqing's thoughts, Xi Yu has always been conflicted.

He still can't control his own mentality. He always feels that he cares about her, but he doesn't pay much attention to her.

The only way he could do this was to make her feel a little more solemn while being close to him, so as to prevent her from having too many emotions towards him.

Little do they know that it is this kind of indifference that really makes the other person lose their heart.

Sheng Lanqing didn't refuse anymore and stayed quiet after getting in the car, for fear of upsetting him.

Xi Yu drove for three hours to reach the suburbs.

"That man's name is Xu Shi. He just celebrated his 70th birthday this year. He looks like an old naughty boy."

As Xi Yu walked, he introduced her in detail: "Don't be nervous, just get along with him normally."

The courtyard hidden among the trees appeared in front of us. The flowing water was not far away, and there was a bridge on it.

Xu Shi quickly came to open the door, wearing a silver-white Chinese mandarin jacket, and asked with a gentle look: "Is this your girlfriend?"

Sheng Lanqing's heart skipped a beat, and she only struggled for less than a second between verbal explanation and acquiescence before she heard Xi Yu's calm reply: "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

What does he mean by this?
Sheng Lanqing couldn't help but think wildly, and gradually fell half a step behind. However, Xi Yu in front pinched her wrist and said suggestively: "Don't think too much."

He will basically not introduce someone of the opposite sex to others, especially someone who is related to the circle.

Rather than letting Xu Shi make his own guesses, it would be better to let him think that Sheng Lanqing is an important person, so as to avoid making disputes.

In this way, even if the news reaches the Xi family, they will only think that he has been too promiscuous recently and has a new love.

Sheng Lanqing pursed her lips and nodded obediently, but her heart was in great confusion.

She didn't know Xi Yu's subtle thoughts, but she felt her cheeks starting to get hot, and she even suspected that he might also like her.

"What type of painting do you want to learn?"

Until Xu Shi took her to the study room and smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on the tip of his nose.

Sheng Lanqing still couldn't calm down quickly.

Even because of the quiet environment, she could clearly feel the beating of her heart like a drum in her chest.
