Chapter 1413: Sorry, I Already Like Someone (4)

Although it’s not completely separated, it still counts as a small independent space.

Neither had a particular idea for ordering, so they let the server recommend directly.

Li Chen glanced around at the surroundings and smiled: “The environment here is nice.”

“Yes, it’s quite nice. You’ve been abroad for so many years, so I thought taking you for Western food would be a bit pretentious.”

“Chinese food is great, I really like it.”

Xiao Rou took a sip of barley tea. It’s been a long time since seeing an old friend, and considering the situation earlier, Xiao Rou found it a bit awkward, not knowing what to say.

On the other hand, Li Chen started the conversation first, asking about Xiao Rou’s milk tea shop situation, with rather uninspiring topics.

“Why is the milk tea shop called Three-point Sugar?”

“It just suddenly came to me, so I used it.”

“Sounds good.”

“Thank you.”

After some casual chat, Xiao Rou felt she should also show some concern for the other person’s situation, so she proactively asked: “How about you? Is work going smoothly?”

“Not bad, I really like the atmosphere at Shengshi.”

“Being able to join Shengshi, your parents must be really happy for you, that’s awesome.”

“You’re doing well too. I heard from Uncle Xiao that you used to work at Zhou Family?”

Xiao Rou smiled: “I was just doing odd jobs there, how can I compare to someone of director level like you.”

Li Chen and Xiao Rou were chatting intermittently here, while the people at the neighboring table had odd expressions.

“This voice, it’s Xiao, right?”

Finally, someone lowered their voice and asked.

“Seems like it.”

“Should we call Brother Qi over?”

“If Brother Qi sees Xiao having dinner with another man, will he rush over and hit someone?”

“Let him hit, with so many of us here, are we afraid of not being able to take on one person?”

There were four people at this table, all from Zhou Qi’s team.

Aunt who usually cooks had some personal matter and took a day off. After training, the group had no food at home, so they decided to come out and squeeze Zhou Qi for a meal.

But because they arrived a bit late and didn’t reserve beforehand, there was no large table available, so they had to split into two small tables. Before eating halfway, they heard Xiao Rou’s voice from the adjacent table.

As esports players, they were sensitive to voices and instantly recognized it was Xiao Rou.

Zhou Qi wasn’t at the same table as them, so the young ones whispered gossip for a while, but eventually took out their phones, opened the team WeChat group, and shouted.

[Brother Qi, Brother Qi, there’s a situation. Xiao is here, you’re about to be poached.]

The message was sent by Ah Shuang. As soon as it went out, the person sitting across from him got a bit sweaty: “Hey, bro, can you be mindful of your wording? What’s this about poaching? It’s such an outdated concept. Xiao having a meal with someone doesn’t automatically mean something, right? Can’t she have a few male friends?”

The area isn’t soundproof, so even though it’s a bit noisy, when Xiao Rou and Li Chen were speaking without intentionally lowering their voices, the neighboring tables could hear clearly.

There wasn’t the slightest hint of romance in Xiao Rou’s conversation, yet calling it ‘poaching’ was indeed blowing things out of proportion.

Just as this person complained about Ah Shuang, another conversation came from the other side.

“Xiao Xiao, there’s something, I’ve thought about it, let’s be direct.”

“Hmm?”

“Last time when dining at your house, the intention from both our parents, you should understand. I’m sorry, I hadn’t realized they were setting us up for a blind date.”
