Chapter 116: Beware of me?
When Qin Fangkai saw Zhai Xingchen, anxiety and eagerness surged in his heart. He didn't care about the other party's identity and status, and immediately took Zhai Xingchen's hand and took him to a deserted corner. He stared at Zhai Xingchen closely, his eyes full of expectation and desire, and asked with a trembling voice: "Master Zhai, Lu... Qingxi, does she really like me?"
Zhai Xingchen looked at the boy with bruises on both sides of his face and frowned slightly. He didn't like being pulled suddenly like this, and he didn't like the feeling of being forced. However, thinking that Qin Fangkai was still useful to him, he had to suppress his dissatisfaction, looked at Qin Fangkai's eager eyes, and slowly responded: "She likes you."
When Qin Fangkai heard what Zhai Xingchen said, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he saw the dawn of hope. However, he was not completely relieved, and continued to ask: "Why did you say she likes me? Tell me!"
Zhai Xingchen originally just wanted to give Qin Fangkai some hints to make him believe what he said, but he didn't expect that he would dare to question him so directly. He frowned slightly, thinking that Qin Fangkai's state seemed a little bit wrong at the moment, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and told what he saw in Lu Qingxi's book: "I saw a photo of you in Lu Qingxi's book." As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Fangkai's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw the dawn of victory. He stood up excitedly and prepared to leave immediately to find Lu Qingxi.
Seeing this, Zhai Xingchen's heart tightened, and he felt that things seemed to be out of his control. He immediately stretched out his hand to block Qin Fangkai's way and asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"
Qin Fangkai answered without hesitation: "I want to break up with Xiao Lan immediately. I don't like her. Then, I want to pursue Lu Qingxi wholeheartedly."
Zhai Xingchen was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Fangkai to make such a decisive decision. He quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind, trying to save the situation. He reminded: "Don't you care about the Xiao family's investment in the Qin family's project?"
Qin Fangkai was slightly stunned, but then he said firmly: "Then after the project is over, I will break up with Xiao Lan."
Zhai Xingchen felt a little speechless. He didn't expect Qin Fangkai to like Lu Qingxi to such an extent. He thought quickly in his mind, trying to find a reason to convince Qin Fangkai to give up pursuing Lu Qingxi.
He said, "Lu Qingxi's current boyfriend is Jimo Chen. She will definitely not agree to be with you. Moreover, she will not give up the power of the Jimo family."
Qin Fangkai frowned when he heard this. He was obviously moved by Zhai Xingchen's words and began to think. Seeing this, Zhai Xingchen continued to exaggerate and said, "Do you know why Lu Qingxi likes you?"
Qin Fangkai immediately looked up at Zhai Xingchen, his eyes full of doubt and expectation. Zhai Xingchen sneered in his heart, but pretended to be serious on the surface, and slowly said: "She likes you, a big part of the reason is because you are Xiao Lan's boyfriend. Lu Qingxi has always been jealous of Xiao Lan's family background and status. As long as Xiao Lan has it, she will be very curious. Because she is very jealous of Xiao Lan, who has so many things that she doesn't have!"
When Qin Fangkai heard Zhai Xingchen's questioning of Lu Qingxi, he immediately became emotional. He retorted: "Qingxi? Jealous of Xiao Lan? How is that possible! She is so beautiful." His voice was full of firmness and trust, as if every detail of Lu Qingxi was deeply imprinted in his heart.
Zhai Xingchen couldn't help but frown when he heard what Qin Fangkai said, and he thought to himself, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Xiao Lan is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, which ranks second among the four major families. She has a noble status and a distinguished family background. And Lu Qingxi is just a commoner who can't even enter this academy. What's more, Xiao Lan's appearance and brains are both first-class, how can Lu Qingxi compare with her?"
However, looking at Qin Fangkai's indignant eyes, Zhai Xingchen felt helpless. He didn't know what this boy was thinking, and he actually had such a thick filter for Lu Qingxi in such a short time. He looked at Qin Fangkai with contempt and shook his head secretly in his heart.
Qin Fangkai seemed to realize his own gaffe. He tried to calm himself down and said, "You may not know Qingxi, she..." However, halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that Zhai Xingchen and Lu Qingxi lived under the same roof. His heart tightened and he quickly shut his mouth.
He knew that there was a gap between his family background and Jimo Chen's, and Zhai Xingchen's family background was far superior to Jimo Chen's. He couldn't add any more rivals to his love, otherwise he would only put himself in an even more embarrassing situation. So, he looked at Zhai Xingchen warily, said "OK" hesitantly, and left in a hurry.
Zhai Xingchen looked at Qin Fangkai's departing back, and was even more speechless. He could never have imagined that this boy would be so defensive against him. Did he think he would be attracted to Lu Qingxi? This was such a joke!
Zhai Xingchen shook his head gently and put the matter behind him. He returned to his seat and prepared to continue reading. Xiao Xu's attention was attracted by the fact that Qin Fangkai came to see Zhai Xingchen. He was curious, after all, Qin Fangkai was his sister Xiao Lan's boyfriend, why did he look for Zhai Xingchen? So, he couldn't help but ask Zhai Xingchen: "Xingchen, what did Qin Fangkai want to see you for just now?"
Zhai Xingchen had long expected Xiao Xu to be curious, and he replied calmly: "Oh, it's nothing serious, I just asked me a math question." He glossed over it without revealing any more details.
However, Xiao Lan, who was sitting in front, heard their conversation word for word. She tilted her head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
Ever since Qin Fangkai met Lu Qingxi, his heart seemed to be firmly grasped by something, and he could not help thinking about her. Lu Qingxi's gentle smile and clear eyes always appeared in his mind, making him intoxicated. He longed to see Lu Qingxi more, talk to her more, and even hoped to get to know her better.
However, Xiao Lan and Jimo Tan protected Lu Qingxi very closely, so Qin Fangkai could not find a chance to get close to her. He felt very distressed and helpless, but he did not want to give up.
Finally one day, on a weekend afternoon, Qin Fangkai unexpectedly saw Lu Qingxi and Xiao Lan getting into the Xiao family's car together on the street. His heart moved, and he immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity. He quickly asked the driver to drive after them, secretly praying in his heart that he would have a chance to get close to Lu Qingxi.
The car was driving slowly, and Qin Fangkai was nervously observing the situation ahead. When he saw the car in front of him parked in a familiar shopping mall, he couldn't help but smile. He guessed that Lu Qingxi and Xiao Lan should be here to go shopping, which made him very excited.
After seeing the two get off the car, Qin Fangkai got off immediately and followed them carefully. He didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered by them, but he didn't want to lose this opportunity. He secretly observed Lu Qingxi's every move, his heart full of anticipation and excitement.
