Chapter 1822

Picking up the chopsticks, Baili Xia composed herself.

She looked up and smiled at Mu Xiaoyao, then planned to start eating.

Unexpectedly, just as the first bite was about to reach her mouth, the phone in her bag rang.

Taking out the phone, seeing the number displayed, her brow furrowed slightly.

Jin…

why haven’t I thought of him lately?

Seeing Dongfang Jin’s incoming call, Baili Xia couldn’t describe her feelings.

Recently, feeling somewhat strange, with some acquaintances, if they didn’t take the initiative to find her.

Or rather, if someone didn’t bring them up, she…

wouldn’t remember them.

But, when others mentioned them, or when she saw them, the memories belonging to that person suddenly became clear again.

She didn’t know what was going on with her head, even her master couldn’t explain it.

It’s said that Lu Xuening is already dead, in this world, is there no longer anyone who can give her a complete answer?

Seeing her holding the phone all the time, not answering yet not putting it down, with a frowning expression.

Mu Xiaoyao’s fingers tightened a bit, and he asked lightly, “Who’s calling you?”

“Jin…” Only then did Baili Xia come to her senses, wanting to answer the call, but it had already disconnected by itself.

Just as she was about to call Dongfang Jin back, unexpectedly, a second call came, it was still him.

“Jin.” Baili Xia answered the phone, not noticing Mu Xiaoyao sitting across from her, staring at her the whole time.

“Xiaxia, where are you?

There’s something important, I must tell you in person.”

On the other end, Dongfang Jin’s anxious voice came through, “Where are you?

I’ll come find you.”

“Isn’t it something you can say on the phone?

I’m currently…”

Baili Xia glanced out the window, at the traffic below, this road…

She looked down at the street, just saw the street sign, suddenly, a car passed through her line of sight.

The man with earbuds, talking on the phone, steadily drove the car past…

How could things be so coincidental!

“Jin, I’m just nearby, at the place where your car passed by, Hawaii Buffet Restaurant…”

Five minutes later, looking a bit travel-worn, Dongfang Jin appeared at the restaurant door.

Baili Xia stood up promptly upon seeing him, and greeted him.

Ignoring the infatuated gazes from the girls around, Dongfang Jin strode toward her.

“Xiaxia, I have something to…” Suddenly, his gaze fell on Mu Xiaoyao, sitting across from Baili Xia.

His palm tightened, the words he was about to say swallowed hard back down.

Mu Xiaoyao just glanced at him blandly, said nothing, and didn’t care about his hesitation to speak.

He looked at Baili Xia, “Eat quickly, I’m in a hurry, need to head back soon.”

“Jin just arrived…” Baili Xia complained a bit about his insensitivity.

But she didn’t dare to rebut anything.

She could only look at Dongfang Jin and say, “What would you like to eat?

I’ll get it for you.”

“Whatever.”

Dongfang Jin sat down, and Baili Xia walked away with a tray.

The waiter brought warm water over, Dongfang Jin drank it all in one go, seeing the waiter still standing by, staring at them with a silly grin.

He handed the cup over, “Another cup.”

“Sure!” The waitress took the cup, as if receiving an imperial edict, cheerfully went to fill it herself.

Dongfang Jin’s gaze fell on Mu Xiaoyao, “If you’re in a hurry, you can head back first, I’ll see Xiaxia home later…”

Intending to say he’d take her back to the Mu family, but, thinking of what he recently learned.

Those words were swallowed back down.
