Chapter 156 Xiao Xu Finds Zhai Xingchen
Yesterday, Chu Ye suddenly announced in the F4 group that he had found his ideal girl. At first, Xiao Xu was happy for this good brother, after all, he had witnessed Chu Ye running to the He family hospital as soon as he got off get out of class. He saw the persistence and seriousness in his eyes and was touched in his heart.
However, Chu Ye's next message was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the joy in his heart. Chu Ye then sent out: "The girl I like is Lu Qingxi." Seeing this, Xiao Xu's surprise and disappointment were beyond words. He couldn't help but send a question mark in the group, wanting to know more, but the group fell into a strange silence, and no one said a word.
This silence made Xiao Xu's heart even heavier. He knew that he, A Che and Chu Ye all had deep feelings for Lu Qingxi. And now, A Che and Chu Ye had clearly expressed their feelings, which made him feel an unprecedented pressure.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Xu chose to personally deliver the gift to the Zhai family, perhaps to seek some comfort and understanding from his good friend. He hoped to hear some pertinent advice and encouragement from Zhai Xingchen to help him face the complex emotional dilemma before him.
After arriving at Zhai's house, Xiao Xu learned that Zhai Xingchen was still in his room. He gently pushed open the door and saw Zhai Xingchen concentrating on the painting in his hand, the brush dancing gently on the canvas. Xiao Xu's arrival seemed to interrupt his thoughts, and Zhai Xingchen quickly put away the canvas, with an elusive emotion flashing across his face.
Although Xiao Xu was puzzled, he did not say much. He walked straight to Zhai Xingchen and handed Tang Zhi's gift to him. When Zhai Xingchen saw the gift, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and a happy smile bloomed on his face. He gratefully accepted the gift and thanked Xiao Xu repeatedly.
Seeing this, Xiao Xu's annoyance seemed to be slightly relieved. He took a deep breath and began to confide his troubles to Zhai Xingchen. He talked about Lu Qingxi, the girl who made his heart beat, and A Che and A Ye's pursuit of her. He frankly expressed his unwillingness and helplessness, as well as the various difficulties he encountered in the process of pursuing Lu Qingxi.
Zhai Xingchen listened to Xiao Xu's story quietly, but a trace of doubt surged in his heart. He was not impressed by Lu Qingxi and even thought she was just an ordinary girl. However, seeing Xiao Xu's persistence and obsession, he couldn't help but begin to doubt his judgment.
Xiao Xu became more and more excited as he spoke, while Zhai Xingchen listened patiently. Although he did not think highly of Lu Qingxi, he understood that what Xiao Xu needed at the moment was understanding and support. So he patiently listened to Xiao Xu's complaints for a long time, sometimes nodding to show his understanding, and sometimes whispering comfort.
At this moment, Xiao Xu's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Xiao Lan calling. He looked at the time and it was almost 12 o'clock. He realized that he had stayed at Zhai's house for too long, so he stood up and said goodbye to Zhai Xingchen.
On the way out of Zhai's house, Xiao Xu unexpectedly met Zhai Yijing. Zhai Yijing was curious to see Xiao Xu still at Zhai's house so late. He thought that Xiao Xu was also one of the people who liked Lu Qingxi, so he asked casually: "Xiao Xu, why haven't you gone home yet so late? Are you here to see Qingxi?"
Xiao Xu blushed a little when asked, and he quickly explained: "No, no, no, it's not that. Brother Yijing, Sister Tang Zhi asked me to deliver a gift to Xingchen, I just stopped by to deliver it today."
Zhai Yijing heard this, but he had a little doubt in his heart. He knew that Tang Zhi usually sent people to deliver gifts, and rarely let others do it for her. This time, she asked Xiao Xu to deliver it. Xingchen came to the company a few days ago, and the time when Tang Zhi came to the company was only a few minutes later...
With some suspicion, Zhai Yijing strode upstairs and went straight to Zhai Xingchen's room. Through the half-open door, he saw his brother immersed in the joy of opening gifts, with a bright smile on his face. His suspicion deepened a little, so he walked into the room and asked softly: "Xingchen, what gift did Tang Zhi give you? Why are you so happy?"
Zhai Xingchen's hands suddenly stopped while opening the gift. He raised his head and looked at his brother standing at the door. The suspicion on Zhai Yijing's face reflected his inner thoughts like a mirror, making Zhai Xingchen unable to avoid it. He felt annoyed and thought that Xiao Xu's innocence was really a headache. The gift box in his hand seemed to remind him that he couldn't hide it from his brother.
So, Zhai Xingchen decided to take the initiative. He looked straight into his brother's eyes and asked, "Brother, why do you like Lu Qingxi?" This question was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.
When Zhai Yijing heard this question, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he immediately denied it: "Zhai Xingchen, don't talk nonsense." There was a hint of nervousness in his voice, as if he was afraid that his brother would pry into his inner secrets.
Zhai Xingchen was going to list all the big and small things his brother had done for Lu Qingxi recently, but his right eyelid kept twitching due to nervousness, so he resisted the urge to touch his eye with his right hand. But he also lost the courage to continue asking questions. He took a deep breath, changed the subject, and asked tentatively: "Brother, do you like Tang Zhi?"
Zhai Yijing felt relieved when he heard this. He looked at Zhai Xingchen seriously and replied, "I admire her very much. She has good talent and character. But that doesn't mean I like her."
Zhai Xingchen didn't intend to give up. He stared at his brother and said casually, "It's really strange that you admire her but don't like her." Zhai Yijing shook his head helplessly, and then explained seriously, "Tang Zhi and I are indeed friends, but only in the scope of ordinary friends."
Seeing that Zhai Xingchen did not ask any more questions, Zhai Yijing decided to take the opportunity to guide him: "Xingchen, remember, no matter who you get along with, you must learn to respect. Even if you don't like someone, don't hurt her. Especially when the other person has a good impression of you, but you don't have such intentions, you must control the distance to avoid misunderstandings. Otherwise, it will only make the other person fall deeper and deeper, and in the end, both of you will be hurt."
Zhai Xingchen's heart tightened at Zhai Yijing's words, and he instantly understood the deep meaning of his brother's words. It turned out that his brother was using Tang Zhi's matter to remind him about Lu Qingxi and Han Xin. He originally wanted to seek answers from his brother, but he didn't expect that in the end he would become the one being lectured by his brother.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Zhai Xingchen still nodded. He couldn't say it out loud. He didn't feel safe in this family. He couldn't tell his brother that he had done many irreversible things. Well, he didn't want to and didn't dare to.
On the night when Xiao Xu hurried to Zhai's house, Lu Qingxi's peaceful life was broken by a strange phone call. At first, she glanced at the strange number on the phone screen and felt nothing, thinking that the other party had called the wrong number and planned to ignore it. However, Tang Zhi on the other end of the phone seemed to have endless patience and dialed her number again and again.
