Chapter 237 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (25)
Perhaps people are just prone to being talked about without reason; Lou Shu, who had just woken up from a night of heavy drinking, received a call from Xu Xi.
Lou Shu checked the time; it was just 7:30 in the morning. Fearing that Xu Xi might have something urgent, she quickly answered the phone.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxi? Is something the matter?"
Hearing Lou Shu's words, Xu Xi felt a little awkward. Couldn't she call Lou Shu if there was nothing wrong? Sure enough, even Lou Shu had changed after she went to university.
Thinking this to myself, I said it with a hint of, "Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
Lou Shu choked upon hearing this. She and her roommates had been out late the night before, and only Lou Shu was woken up by her vibrating phone. The others were still asleep. Afraid of disturbing her roommates' rest, she went to the hallway to answer the phone, which took less than a minute.
She assumed Xu Xi really had something important to do, so she didn't think much of it, explained a few things, and then asked Xu Xi about her purpose again.
Lou Shu was shocked to hear Xu Xi's words. She really hadn't expected that Xu Xi would call about Xie Nan. She felt a bit conflicted, since Xie Nan already had a girlfriend.
Xu Xi was still talking, but Lou Shu had no interest in listening. Lou Shu didn't say a word until Xu Xi finished speaking.
Seeing this, Xu Xi was angry. What did she mean by this? She just wanted her to go to Xie Nan's school a few more times to check on the situation.
"What, you can't even help me with this little thing?"
Xu Xi's voice was clearly angry. If she didn't need someone's help, Lou Shu's phone number would probably be on her blacklist by now.
Lou Shu felt a little sorry for Xu Xi and cautiously reminded her, "Xiao Xi, you and Xie Nan haven't been in contact for several years. Is it possible that you no longer like him...?"
Before Lou Shu could finish speaking, Xu Xi interrupted her: "I'm sure, I'm absolutely sure I still like Xie Nan, Xiao Shu, please help me this once, okay?"
Lou Shu sighed, unable to bear seeing her friend continue to suffer, and decided that a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one: "Xiao Xi, Xie Nan already has a girlfriend. I saw her with my own eyes at the mall a few days ago. It's obvious that Xie Nan really likes his girlfriend. Forget about him."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a shrill female voice rang out: "Impossible! You're lying to me! How could Xie Nan possibly have a girlfriend?"
Lou Shu frowned slightly upon seeing this. Just as she was about to say something, the call was disconnected. She looked at the black screen, feeling a little wronged. What was going on? She was woken up early in the morning and then scolded.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xi remained silent for a long time. Xie Nan's image quickly flashed through her mind: his focused reading, his tall and upright back...
Stunned, he muttered to himself, "How do you have a girlfriend?"
When Jiang Rou learned of her reaction through 021, she merely raised an eyebrow slightly. Was she sad or upset? She hadn't even suffered a tenth of the pain the original owner had endured.
Xie Nan brought out some freshly washed fruit and saw Jiang Rou sitting on the sofa, seemingly doing something. Seeing her, a smile unconsciously appeared on Xie Nan's face, and he walked straight over.
"What are you doing?"
Xie Nan placed the fruit on the table, then naturally wrapped his arms around Jiang Rou from behind, resting his chin on her neck, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, and closing his eyes comfortably.
The two are currently staying in the house that Ms. Shen had previously rented. Xie Nan had been renting it for several years and wanted to buy it, but the owner had no intention of selling.
Jiang Rou noticed him the moment he came out, and immediately composed herself. She had gone from being shy at first to being able to remain unfazed by his intimate actions.
As Xie Nan spoke, his warm breath fell on Jiang Rou's cheek, causing a slight tickle. She turned her head slightly to avoid it, but Xie Nan clung to her like a leech.
"I'm thinking about where to take Sister Shuying to eat since she's here."
The movie Jiang Rou was involved in has finished filming, and Zhou Shuying has also been given a two-week vacation. She said she was going to come to Kyoto. She and Jiang Rou have kept in touch and have become close friends who can talk about anything.
Jiang Rou looked somewhat troubled. Zhou Shuying's status was different from that of ordinary people, and she might be surrounded in public places. However, Jiang Rou was not very familiar with Kyoto.
Seeing her expression, Xie Nan pulled her closer, unable to bear seeing her continue to be distressed, and said:
"Uncle Xu has a friend in Beijing who runs a private restaurant. It's very private. I've been there twice, and the food is quite good. I want to go there."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou's expression lit up, and she nodded hurriedly. However, before she could be happy for more than a few seconds, she noticed Xie Nan's ambiguous gaze.
Jiang Rou was very quick to react. She turned around, hugged Xie Nan's neck, gave him a sweet kiss, and said in a coquettish voice:
"Xie Nan, you're so wonderful, I like you so much."
Xie Nan didn't speak, but answered with his actions. He was not satisfied with Jiang Rou's light kiss that had only lasted a moment. His kiss was different from his usual gentle one; it was quite fierce.
------
Xie Nan drove Jiang Rou to the private restaurant, ignoring her the whole way. This person really had no self-control; she had already said that they were running out of time, but this person just wouldn't let go of her.
Feeling a slight stinging sensation on her lips, Jiang Rou knew without even looking that her skin was broken. Annoyed, she slapped Xie Nan's outstretched hand on her lip.
Xie Nan has fair skin, and although Jiang Rou is not strong, a clear handprint was indeed left on his hand.
Xie Nan dared not feel wronged, and he persistently reached out to hold Jiang Rou's hand. Finally, on the third time, he grasped her delicate hand in his.
When Jiang Rou and Xie Nan arrived, there were still ten minutes left before the agreed time. As the host, how could she be late?
As soon as I entered, a group of people came out. Leading them was a beautiful woman wearing a well-tailored dark suit with her hair neatly combed. Behind her stood a group of men, whose presence was in no way inferior.
Suddenly, Jiang Rou felt a gaze upon her.
