Chapter 37.2: “I have a friend…”

Both sides have been spoken for and the room door was closed. In Ning Yi’s room, a conference of the sisters was starting.

Ju Meng sat beside Ning Yi. She used her shoulder to bump into her, her tone undulating as she said, “Lately, your peach blossoms have been flourishing ah, my beauty collector. This Xu Xing Ji is coming for you~”

Ning Yi originally wanted to deny it, but thought about the matter that she agreed to with Xu Xing Ji before and didn’t say anything definite. She ambiguously responded, “He’s not bad.”

Ju Meng didn’t say anything. Contrarily, Mu Wanqing spoke with some disapproval, “But, Yiyi, aren’t you and Classmate Lu…would it not be very good like this ah?”

Ning Yi recalled that in order to follow the plot before, she deliberately said those harsh things to Mu Wanqing and suddenly didn’t know how to explain.

Ju Meng sighed. With a “I completely understand” expression, she said, “God Lu is so cold, he needs to be taught his place from the beginning, otherwise, won’t our Yiyi suffer losses? There’s a saying that puts it well- falling in love is like a rubberband. When it bounces back, only the one who loves more will hurt more ah! So right now, we have to let God Lu properly see that our Yiyi’s market is very good! Don’t think that just because he’s handsome, everything will be as he wishes!”

After listening to this, Mu Wanqing was actually convinced and even showed an expression of sudden understanding and learning the lesson.

Ning Yi: “…”

It had to be said that he was indeed a clever person that naturally knew how to make people feel comfortable. He completely dispersed the awkwardness in the beginning with a few sentences and even integrated very quickly into their group of sisters.

Very coincidentally, the couple of them walked through the carpeted hallway and, at the elevators, ran into Lu Xu Nan and Fang Ci who were also waiting for the elevator.

Enthusiasm behind her and terror in front of her- that was the case for Ju Meng.

Her gaze flew between the two males that were about the same height and she shifted toward Mu Wanqing, staying as far away as she could from Ning Yi who had deeply fallen into a “love triangle”. She mouthed: “F*ck! A battlefield!”

Ning Yi didn’t understand, replying to her with a confused look: “?”

Ju Meng lifted her eyes and met the cold gaze of Lu Xu Nan who was behind Ning Yi. She turned her head and pointed at the elevator, “Ah, the elevator came, let’s get on!”

Immediately after, she got on first while gripping Mu Wanqing, then found a corner to stand in and pretended she didn’t exist.

Ning Yi was a person that didn’t think too much. Seeing Xu Xing Ji didn’t move, she even raised her hand and gave his arm a tug. “Go ah, the elevator doors are going to close.”

“Oh, okay!” Xu Xing Ji followed closely, revealing a mouthful of white teeth at Lu Xu Nan.

Facing his provocation, Lu Xu Nan pushed the tip of his tongue against his cheek and humphed.

Fang Ci knew with just a look that he was very angry. He hurriedly dragged him into the elevator before he could flip out, conveniently stuffing him toward Ning Yi’s spot, and changed the topic. “Oh yeah, Ning Yi, is your group full yet? Brother Nan and I still haven’t joined a group! Does your group mind having two more people ah?”

Listening to Fang Ci bring this up, the stuffiness in Lu Xu Nan’s chest was lifted and the anger was also temporarily set aside. With a bit of nervousness that he wasn’t aware of, he looked at Ning Yi, waiting for her response.

I do mind. I wish I could hold a sign to protest allowing bad-tempered Dog Lu into the group, thank you.

Hearing her immediate thoughts, Lu Xu Nan could laugh from extreme anger. His face was black like Bao Zheng1. Just as he wanted to open his mouth and say he didn’t want to join her group, he heard Ning Yi ask, “I don’t have any complaints, do you guys agree?”

Ju Meng and Mu Wanqing both naturally nodded. “You can join, we have no complaints.”

The space between Lu Xu Nan’s brows relaxed. With bad timing, he suddenly remembered something Fang Ci had said before– Women say that they don’t want it, but their actions are very honest.

Even though he turned down these words, and even thinking of them now, he still couldn’t help getting goosebumps, but at this moment, his mood was indeed much better due to Ning Yi’s duplicity.

Unfortunately, his good mood was short-lived.

Ning Yi turned her head, speaking to Xu Xing Ji who hadn’t spoken, “What about you?”

“What are you asking him for? What do matters of your group have to do with him? Who is he to you? You still have to ask for his opinion?” Lu Xu Nan cut off the subject in a very bad tone.

Ning Yi was someone that could be coaxed but not coerced, her tone also became cold. “Xu Xing Ji is a member of our group, of course I have to ask his opinion if people are joining. If I don’t ask him, don’t tell me I should ask you?”

“What? You’re actually in a group with xiao xue ji?!” Lu Xu Nan felt that he was about to explode.

If she hadn’t suddenly recalled the plot between the male and female lead during the field trip and couldn’t do anything that interfered with the development of the other person’s matters, Ning Yi really wanted to stop Lu Xu Nan from joining their group with one sentence.

This person actually even gave people nicknames! Just who is the xiao xue ji (primary school student/little kid) ah!

She slightly raised her voice, the displeasure in her voice was very clear. “Do you want to join or not? If you have a problem with the group members, it’s better not to force it.”

Lu Xu Nan was both angry and jealous: “You!”

“Join join join, it’s easy to be hot-tempered in hot weather, it’s all a misunderstanding, right? Brother?” Fang Ci hurriedly yanked his arm. He stuck his head out and lifted his chin at Xu Xing Ji, saying, “Besides, it’s all girls here, it’s not fitting for you, the only male, no? Add the two of us and it’ll be just right, 3V3. Men and women can pair up so it won’t be as tiring to do things.”

Xu Xing Ji glanced at Ning Yi, he smiled widely as he said, “Of course, we’re all classmates. I also joined at the last minute. Welcome to the group.”

Lu Xu Nan felt like he had eaten a fly. He stiffened his neck. Opening his mouth, he was about to refuse, but he was pulled to the side by Fang Ci.

“Bear with it, Brother Nan, do you still remember what I said before? ‘Don’t be angry, no one will share this sickness, it’ll only be his misfortune later’? You don’t want them to get along alone, right? Won’t that be what Xu Xing Ji wants?”

Lu Xu Nan thought this made sense. He could only hold it back. Sticking his hands in his pockets, he lightly humphed which was considered a response.

The author has something to say:

Lu: For Ning Yi’s sake, I will bear with you xxj for now, ╭(╯^╰)╮
