Chapter 77: Enemies Meet Again!

  Kai Xuan Western Restaurant is a famous candlelight dinner restaurant in Yanjing. Whether customers have requested it or not, as soon as the evening meal time arrives, all tables will be lit with candles.

  Can't see clearly? Want to use a lamp? Sorry, turn left when you go out. Where is the restaurant with household lamps?

  In the long run, candlelight dinner has become their signature dish. Not only did it not drive away customers, but it also became a preferred dining venue for some high-spending people who pursue extravagance and waste.

  Some female students and white-collar workers in Yanjing take pride in being able to have a candlelight dinner at the Triumph Western Restaurant.

  Pushing open the magnificent revolving door, Qin Luo rushed into this uniquely styled restaurant.

  Although it was just past 7 o'clock in the evening, the occupancy rate of this restaurant was extremely high.

  Many tables are lit up, and at a glance, they are dotted with stars, very warm and beautiful.

  The sound system was playing some light music by Bandari, which perfectly matched the atmosphere of the restaurant. Even Qin Luo, a country bumpkin, felt reluctant to leave after rushing in.

  "Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves." Qin Luo thought to himself.

  "Sir. Do you have a reservation?" A waitress with a white uniform and a tie on her upper body, and a black long skirt on the lower body, came over and asked respectfully.

  "No." Qin Luo shook his head. He had only agreed with Lin Xun to have dinner here, how would he know about booking a table?

  "Sorry sir, we're fully booked here. I'm really sorry." The waitress said with an apologetic face.

  "Full?" Qin Luo's face was filled with confusion.

  He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Lin Xuanxi's number.

  "Lin sister, where are you?" Qin Luo asked.

  "Triumph Western Restaurant."

  "I was also at the Triumph Western Restaurant. But their waiter said it's already full." Qin Luo said with a bitter face.

  "Table one hundred and sixteen. Let them bring you over." said Lin Xuanxi.

  After hanging up the phone, Qin Luo told the waitress the table number. The waitress then invited Qin Luo in and personally led her to table 116.

  The moment Qin Luo saw Lin Huanxi, he had a sudden feeling of being amazed.

  A pale white simple dress, with a black double thin waist belt tied around the waist. Outside is a tassel knit cardigan, soft long hair scattered on the slightly exposed fragrant shoulders, making people feel both fashionable and sexy.

  A simple and elegant black sandal, a pair of beautiful long legs overlapping each other, placed under the dinner table. Like hidden treasure in secret, it's easy to lead people astray.

  Under the warm red candlelight, Lin Xiangxue's eyebrows, eyes, forehead, and even her hair shone brightly.

  Spring half peach blossom, rich and beautiful, this is a stunning beauty.

  "Sit down." Lin Xuanxi looked at Qin Luo's stunned expression and smiled slightly, saying in a clear voice.

  At that moment, Qin Luo even suspected that the woman sitting in the dim light was not Lin Xuanxi.

  How could she be Lin Xuanxi?

  Lin Xiangxue's previous attire was inclined towards traditional, moderate and mediocre, neither outstanding nor outdated. There was no striking feature at all.

  This is far from being comparable to Li Jiancheng, who was known as the "Fire Beauty" and was said to be one of the "Ice and Fire Double Heavens" along with her.

  Her outfit today was far beyond Qin Luo's recognition, although still not as sexy and charming as Li Jianying, but it had made great progress.

  What's more important is that she just smiled at herself.

  And her smiling face is also very charming

  "What's wrong with this woman?" Qin Luo thought to himself.

  "Lin Jie?" Qin Luo called out uncertainly.

  "Sit down. What would you like to eat? I personally recommend the black pepper beef here." Lin Xuanxi pointed to the chair across from her, indicating for Qin Luo to sit down.

  Qin Luo was certain now, he hadn't mistaken the person.

  This woman who looks like ** is indeed Lin Xuanxi, although he has not yet entered the state set by Lin Xuanxi.

  Qin Luo originally wanted to have egg fried rice, but since Lin Xuanxi said that the black pepper beef was delicious, he decided to give it a try.

  "Then I'll have the black pepper beef." Qin Luo said to the waiter standing beside him.

  "Let's open another bottle of '85 red wine." said Lin Xuanxi.

  Qin Luo's heart suddenly tightened.

  It's all over now. This woman is still ordering wine, it seems she wants to take advantage of herself.

  It's always portrayed on TV that when a man wants to get a woman's body, he will first try his best to get the woman drunk.

  Similarly, if a woman takes the initiative to drink with a man, it is even more suspicious.

  "Lin sister, I'm not very good at drinking," Qin Luo said.

  "It doesn't matter. Red wine can't get people drunk." Lin Xuanxi said. She didn't understand the meaning behind Qin Luo's words at all.

  Qin Luo didn't say anything more and could only resign himself to his fate in his heart.

  As a twenty-two-year-old virgin, his life has always been very stressful.

  When she saw Qin Luo, she didn't speak, and Lin Xuanxi also didn't intend to take the initiative to speak.

  With one hand supporting her cheek, her gaze shifted intently to the young couple beside them, who were happily dining together. Wondering what they were thinking.

  "I used to be like that too." Lin Xuan suddenly spoke up, his voice weak and his tone long-drawn-out, as if it had come from a very distant place.

  "What?" Qin Luo put down the lemon water in his hand and looked up at Lin Xuanxi.

  "Before, I was as happy as she is." Lin Xuanxi said. As she spoke, her gaze remained on the young woman diagonally across from her.

  The woman is young and beautiful, with a happy smile on her face. She whispers something to the man opposite her, occasionally covering her mouth and giggling.

  Qin Luo understood, Lin Huanxi saw his former self in this woman.

  People grow up in happiness and mature in hardship. Because of the huge setback in emotions, Lin Xuanxi lost confidence in love.

  But those women who can be hurt by love, regard it as their life instead.

  Those who don't cherish love, how can they be hurt by it?

  Lin Xiangxi's current state of mind is extremely contradictory, and this contradiction is something that even she herself cannot detect.

  She no longer believes in love, but she yearns for it.

  So when she sees other people's happiness, she will reveal a nostalgic expression.

  "Is it true that a woman like this is the real woman?" Lin Xuanxi asked with a worried face.

  "Not you. You're a real woman too." Qin Luo said. He could have gone further to prove this fact, such as saying I've touched your thigh, I've lain on top of you and felt the softness of your chest.

  But such comfort may come with a woman's cold slap in return.

  Lin Xun shook her head and said, "No. Being a woman should be joyful, but I don't enjoy the joys of being a woman. She's different, she can laugh, cry, and occasionally throw tantrums. These things, I've forgotten how to do."

  After listening to Lin Xuanxi's words, Qin Luo's heart began to ache.

  Xu Zhimo said: In a lifetime, at least once, for someone, you should forget yourself.

  Not seeking results, not seeking companionship, not seeking past possessions.

  Not even asking you to love me, just hoping to meet you in my most beautiful years.

  Did those poor women pay too heavy a price for this encounter?

  "It will be better later. It definitely will." Qin Luo said firmly.

  "He's back." Lin Xuanxi said in a low voice, glancing at Qin Luo.

  "Who? Which he?" Qin Luo was still in a daze for a moment.

  However, after seeing her gloomy expression, he suddenly understood and asked: "Guan Xiu?"

  Lin Xun was surprised and said: "I didn't expect you to still remember this name."

  "I can remember those who have helped me, and I can also remember those who have hurt me." Qin Luo said with a smile. "Although he didn't hurt me, but he hurt you, so I should also remember this name."

  "Thank you." Lin Xuanxi said gratefully.

  If there is someone in this world who can share your joys and sorrows, then your life isn't too hopeless.

  "Has he looked for you?" Qin Luo asked.

  "No." Lin Xuan shook his head. "It was a friend who told me. Someone as proud as him would never take the initiative to look for someone."

  Proud?

  "I have that too." Qin Luo's mood was somewhat downcast.

  "What are you going to do then? Go back?" Qin Luo asked against his will. In fact, he didn't agree with Lin Xuanxi returning.

  Can be hurt once, can also be hurt again

  Lin Xie shook her head and said, "Can't go back. Don't want to go back either."

  "Hmm. That's right. Lin sister is so beautiful, don't worry about not being able to find a better man." Upon hearing Lin Huanxi's response, Qin Luo's mood suddenly lifted up.

  Some women, even if they can't get it themselves, don't want other beasts to get it either.

  In fact, men have no less vinegar in their hearts than women.

  "Despicable Guan Xi, why hasn't he arrived yet? Doesn't he know that when dating a beauty, you have to arrive five minutes early?" Ling Xiao said with a scowl on his face as he stood at the entrance of the Triumph Western Restaurant.

  Late autumn in Yanjing is a bit chilly, and she's wearing too little.

  "Hmm, wasn't it agreed that we would meet at 7:30? You were the one who rushed here first. It's as if you're afraid of not being able to get married." Ning said in a fragmented tone.

  "This lady is certainly not afraid of being unable to get married. There are many men who like me, I just want to marry Guan Xi." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

  "What's it to me if you want to marry him? Why drag me into wearing a corset with you? I'm freezing to death." Ning's small face was full of resentment, her arms wrapped tightly around her chest.

  "Oh my, I want to show off my figure in front of Guan Yu. Who made her call me Flat Chest Princess before? How's this? My figure is not bad now, right? I have breasts and I have buttocks. I'm not asking you to wear a tube top with me, it would be weird if I wore one alone, wouldn't it? Hehe, you're my good sister, of course you'll help me out once. In the future, whoever you like, I'll go through fire and water for you."

  "Hmph, he's still not here. We might as well go back and wait," Ning Shuishui said.

  Ling Xiao glanced at the time on her phone and said, "Forget it. He should be arriving soon anyway. Men are all very vain, if I let him see this beautiful woman waiting for him at the restaurant entrance, wouldn't he lose face?"

  "Alas, your infatuation with flowers is getting worse and worse." Ning sighed.

  Ling Xiao was just about to counterattack when he saw a silver Mercedes-Benz slowly driving into the parking lot.

  It was Ling Xiaowei, who had just gotten out of the carriage and was about to greet her when she saw her brother Ling Ye and Li Lingsi also getting out of the carriage.

  "How did they come together? It's really annoying." Ling Xiao said with a pout.

  "Haha, looks like your confession plan is going down the drain." Ning said with a chuckle.

  Guan Xue still shines brightly, even when walking alongside the equally outstanding Ling Xuan and Li Lingsi, there is a sense of standing out from the crowd.

  Some people are born with a natural ability to attract the public's attention, even if there are ten thousand people around, others' eyes will always be able to find him the fastest in the crowd.

  Guan Xiu also saw Ling Xiao and Ning Suosu standing at the door, and quickly walked over to say: "Xiao Xiao, Suosu, you've been here for a long time?"

  "Look at what those two girls are wearing, frowning and saying: "Why wear so little? What if you catch a cold? Come on, let's go to the dining hall and wait, we big men won't get lost, will we?"

  While speaking, he had already taken off his suit jacket and put it on Ling Xiao's body.

  "It's okay. We're not cold." Although being scolded by Guan Xun, Ling Xiao's heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten candy.

  He said so because he cares. It must be like this.

  "Take off your coat and give it to Su," said Guan Xi.

  "Heh heh, my pleasure." Li Lingsi said as he busied himself taking off his clothes. He had been wanting to get intimate with Ning for a long time, but hadn't found the right opportunity yet. Was Guan Xiao giving him an opening?

  "Hmph, I wouldn't wear a man's clothes. Who knows how long it's been since they've been washed?" Ning said with a scrunched up nose, but even as she refused, her expression was still so cute that it made one reluctant to be angry with her.

  Seeing his good friend awkwardly putting back on the clothes he had taken off, Guan Xu also felt a little regret. Looking at Ling Xiao, he asked: "Have you fixed the table?"

  "It's settled then. One hundred and sixty-five tables." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

  "Oh. One hundred and sixty-five? Then let's go in." Guan Xiao smiled and nodded.
