Chapter 94: With One Foot on Either Side of the Boat

  To take revenge on Li Xiaobai, when they arrived at the restaurant, Xia Xiang'er directly grabbed his hem and headed to the third floor.

  This degree of contact has already exceeded the standard, Li Xiaobai was a bit slow to react and foolishly forgot to struggle free.

  "Hey, it's time to punch in, you're not going to make me treat you, are you?"

  Oh, Li Xiaobai, who had come to his senses, nodded and took out a meal card from his wallet.

  Have to say, among the few girls I've been in contact with, there isn't a single one who is alike.

  Having a meal with Han Dan, it's always her treating. Having a meal with Xu Ran, it's a casual AA system. Having a meal with Xia Xinger, it seems like I'm the one treating. But having a meal with Guo Jing is different, she agreed to treat but thought about letting me pay, in the end, she still treated. It looks like from who pays for meals, you can tell what kind of relationship two people have.

  Simply put, the one who dislikes him the most is Han Dan, who insists on paying the bill to clear his relationship with him. Next is Xu Ran, who has always insisted on going Dutch and seems to want to maintain their relationship at this level. As for Guo Jing and Xia Xier, they don't mind much about paying their own share as long as they are sitting at the same table. However, Li Xiaobai can't quite tell who is closer to him between the two.

  Oh no!

  People all have inertia, whether eating on the first floor or the third floor, as long as they are familiar with which direction is empty, they will subconsciously walk towards it. This inertia can't be said to be good or bad, but today it's absolutely terrible.

  Lost in thought, Li Xiaobai walked towards the familiar direction with his dishes, but forgot to observe his surroundings beforehand. Even without traffic lights, the advantage of looking around while walking on the road should be maintained. Seeing that familiar figure, Li Xiaobai stopped in his tracks.

  "What's wrong with you?"

  Xia Xiang'er, who was following behind, almost bumped into Li Xiaobai's back and couldn't help but say with some displeasure.

  "Let's change places instead, there's an acquaintance over there, it would be embarrassing if we were seen."

  "Li Xiaobai, you're doubting my popularity, aren't you?" Xia Xiang'er said nonchalantly. "Does it make a difference where we eat?" At this point, Xia Xiang'er overtook him and walked towards the empty seat first.

  What kind of superstar are you with this attitude?

  Although it is said so, Xia Xiner is absolutely a school star.

  Although there is no ranking of school flowers, her personality is low-key enough, but because she looks too beautiful, it's natural to make a deep impression at first sight, and he himself is a proof. In addition, although it was only the top ten in the liberal arts class, she represented all students in the school to speak, to say an understatement, very few students in the school do not know her.

  However, other people knowing you and you also knowing them are two different concepts. The person in front of you is the one who used to chase after you, but you don't feel even a bit awkward. However, Xia Xiang'er has already walked ahead, and Li Xiao Bai can only follow up.

  That's right, the empty seat next to Zhao Liang is indeed him. Recently, Li Xiaobai has become somewhat familiar with Zhao Liang through their interactions, and seeing him won't be awkward. However, one of the two figures sitting across from Zhao Liang makes him feel a bit uneasy.

  The restaurant is really small, saying so, Li Xiaobai steeled himself and walked over.

  As she approached, Xia Xiang'er obviously understood the meaning of Li Xiaobai's words. However, only when familiar to a certain extent would the other party's confession be rejected, and perhaps there would be an awkward emotion. Her familiarity with Zhao Liang was only knowing his name, so Xia Xiang'er didn't feel any awkwardness. She sat down behind Zhao Liang without intending to greet him.

  The worst has happened, I shouldn't have hesitated just now.

  Li Xiaobai sighed inwardly and sat down across from Xia Xinger.

  That figure was slightly separated from Zhao Liang by a distance, directly facing him. Zhao Liang had his back to Xia Xiang'er, and similarly, Xia Xiang'er also did. Li Xiao Bai was directly facing Xia Xiang'er.

  It was inevitable that he would raise his head, with a slight angle of deviation, across Xiaoxin and Zhao Liang, Li Xiaobai had to make eye contact with the other party. In the instant when Li Xiaobai raised his head, as if feeling something, the other party also straightened up, looking forward, then the two people's lines of sight collided in mid-air.

  Take a look at Li Xiaobai, his gaze shifted slightly, Han Dan took another glance at the girl he was looking at, and then moved her line of sight away.

  At this moment, Li Xiaobai clearly saw that her eyes had a deeper disdain.

  Just a few brief encounters, have I embarrassed myself in front of Han Dan too many times?

  Blocking the little rabbit gives her a barbaric impression, sending her non-stop texts at night gives her an impolite impression.

  This time, she simply gave her the impression that she wanted to have her cake and eat it too.

  Although she didn't have the ability herself, Han Dan would never step onto a new ship that had never had passengers before, however, she was absolutely certain that she belonged to the type of people who were good at catching fish in the sky.

  Even if it's rejected, Li Xiaobai didn't want to leave such a terrible impression on people either.

  For some reason, Li Xiaobai's attention was more focused on Zhao Liang's table. This time, Han Dan didn't come together with them, and there was a girl sitting next to her, whose seat was directly opposite Zhao Liang's.

  At this moment, she and Zhao Liang were casually talking about something, while Han Dan rarely spoke.

  With his back to Zhao Liang, Li Xiaobai couldn't see his expression, but he believed that he was definitely bitter and unable to speak.

  I don't know if next time we have dinner together, Han Dan will bring two girls along with her, Li Xiaobai maliciously speculated.

  "Li Xiaobai, I invited you to dinner, aren't you willing?"

  It wasn't until Xiaoxiang's somewhat displeased voice came over that Li Xiaobai remembered there was someone in front of him.

  Yes, when others are eating, the host's face should not be distracted, perfunctory, or with an unwilling expression. It would be strange if the guests didn't have any opinions. Xia Xiang'er had been holding back for so long before losing her temper, and Li Xiaobai thought she was still quite generous.

  "Of course not, I'm delighted," Li Xiaobai withdrew his gaze from Handan and tried to please her, "To say that, I'm so delighted that I don't know what's going on in the world, my head is a bit dizzy, so I was distracted."

  "Disgusting."

  Xia Xiner bluntly spat out these words.

  The moment you said that, you've already lost. Li Xiaobai thought with a sense of triumph, this means the question you originally wanted to know has been unintentionally covered up by a careless compliment. Indeed, when it comes to liking to hear good things, girls are no exception.

  However, at this time, Han Dan raised her head again and looked at him. Li Xiaobai knew that she had heard the words.

  At this moment, I really want to find a seam in the ground to drill into. Yesterday, I was still vowing to pursue someone with all my might, but today I'm saying words that even I find disgusting to another girl, and I've started despising myself.

  "Do you know her?" Xia Xiang'er said lightly, taking a small sip of soup.

  "What......"

  "Stop pretending, you've checked her out several times already. It's impossible that you just happened to notice the person behind me. You must know her?"

  Have you measured it several times without even realizing it?

  Almost forgot, Xia Xiner is different from ordinary girls, how could she be easily deceived by her own praise?

  "It's better if I didn't come here, or if I came and was distracted all the time. Do you know her?" Xia Xiang'er stared at Li Xiao Bai, "No, ask Guo Jing about ways to pursue girls, whoever you want to pursue is her?"

  Li Xiaobai really didn't know what to say, it turned out that Xia Xiang'er had heard all the conversations in class.

  "Not bad." Xia Xiang'er commented lightly.

  "I'm not pursuing her, I'm just helping out," Li Xiaobai said in a low voice, afraid that Han Dan would hear him from behind. "However, Xia Xiang'er, I want to ask you something. Zhao Liang was chasing after you just a few days ago, and now he's chasing after another girl. Don't you feel even the slightest bit angry or jealous?"

  "Idiot." Xia Xiang'er's mouth slightly curved upwards, "What is there for me to care about?"

  "It shouldn't be, this is a manifestation of your lack of charm." Li Xiaobai said seriously, "If I were to truly like a girl in the future and get rejected, I wouldn't recover for a short period of time. The fact that Zhao Liang has already found a target so quickly is precisely a manifestation of your lack of charm, isn't it?"

  "Although you say so, I don't feel jealous or moved, just bored. Li Xiaobai, please stop saying boring things." Xia Xiang'er made a very annoying expression again.

  "Xiao Bai, Xia Xiner, we're leaving first."

  As Li Xiaobai and the other person were finishing their meal, Zhao Liang, who had already finished eating, stood up and greeted them.

  It's always been quiet, and now it's speaking up, isn't it a bit out of place?

  Xia Xiner nodded and took it as a greeting. Seeing Zhao Liang somewhat embarrassed, Li Xiaobai still understood him a bit.

  Just like himself, he went to invite Han Dan for dinner yesterday and today he's with Xia Xiner again. In the eyes of girls, such a boy can be said to be the representative of ten evils. Zhao Liang's words, if investigated further, are much more serious than his. Last week, he was still pursuing Xia Xiner, but this week he has already switched to Han Dan. Han Dan is unaware of the situation, but Zhao Liang feels a bit embarrassed to face Xia Xiner now.

  However, I really want to tell him that he doesn't have to be embarrassed because Xia Xiner didn't take it to heart at all.

  Seeing Han Dan also looking over here, Li Xiaobai knew he couldn't just ignore her.

  I'm not someone who says one thing to your face and another behind your back either.

  We've clearly met before, yet you pretend not to know me; is that the treatment only enemies deserve?

  "Hey Han Dan, you're having lunch too..."

  As soon as I said it, I felt something was wrong.

  As expected, Xia Xiang'er and Zhao Liang were both looking at him with strange expressions.

  Ahh, everyone else is performing exceptionally well, at critical moments, why can't I learn from Guo Jing and drop the chain?

  "Ah, Li Xiaobai, you're here too. Goodbye."

  As she spoke, Han Dan left with her classmates, and Zhao Liang waved his hand and followed them.
