Chapter 1415: Sorry, I Already Like Someone (6)

But at the same time, Xiao Rou also realized a problem: although she and Li Chen have known each other since childhood, they had been apart for so many years, so they don’t really understand what each other is like after growing up.

Xiao Rou thinks she isn’t at the point where Li Chen would fall in love at first sight, or deeply as soon as they meet.

As for childhood feelings, Xiao Rou feels they aren’t there yet.

And she can feel that Li Chen has a bit of affection for her, which might stem from memories of childhood, or maybe from her acceptable qualities, or perhaps from the two families knowing each other well.

No matter the source, anyway he should have some feelings for her.

And it’s precisely this thin layer of affection that makes him say such things the second time he sees her after coming back.

This can only indicate one thing: Li Chen is merely attracted to her.

If he really liked her, he probably wouldn’t utter such words without any certainty.

Now they say they are still friends, but after today’s incident, they’ll inevitably avoid some things intentionally in the future. How can they continue being friends like this?

They’re not afraid of rejection because, to them, rejection isn’t that hard to accept, so they can speak boldly.

And she…

Xiao Rou unconsciously thought of Zhou Qi’s face, she didn’t dare to say such things to him.

She’s not worthy, and she doesn’t dare.

At the neighboring table, Ah Shuang and the other four didn’t dare to make a sound.

The restaurant was noisy, but in their spot, it felt unusually quiet at that moment.

All four of their gazes were fixed on one person.

Zhou Qi’s face had become so grim it seemed almost about to start raining.

Ah Shuang exchanged a glance with those beside him, feeling they should say something, but genuinely not knowing what they could say.

They could only watch Zhou Qi’s face grow darker, and more unsightly.

After an unknown period of time, Zhou Qi suddenly stood up as if nothing happened and spoke faintly: “Don’t let her see you all.”

Finishing his words, he returned to his own table.

Meanwhile, Xiao Rou and Li Chen finished their meal, and Li Chen chivalrously escorted her to the apartment building.

When they parted, Li Chen once again apologized for what happened that evening.

Xiao Rou smiled gently: “It’s fine, I’m going up, you take care on the road.”

Back in the apartment, Xiao Rou went to the bathroom, took a shower, changed into clean, comfortable sleepwear, put on a face mask, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and started watching a variety show.

Halfway through, Xiao Rou’s phone rang, she reached for it and saw it was Zhou Qi, her mood instantly lifted, she picked up: “Hello?”

But the person on the other end didn’t speak, after two seconds, they finally spoke: “Xiao, it’s An Rui.”

“Huh? An Rui? Is something up?”

“Zhou Qi’s had too much to drink, we’ve also had quite a bit, and there’s no one to take care of him, could you come by?”

Drank too much?

Xiao Rou tossed the tablet aside, immediately stood up: “I’ll be right over.”

She hung up the phone and walked to the foyer, only realizing she was in sleepwear when she changed her shoes, she quickly ran back, grabbed a sweater and some long pants, threw on a coat, and hurried out.

It was already completely dark; there weren’t many people on the street, Xiao Rou moved quickly, a combination of walking and running, she soon arrived at the team’s place.

The villa was brightly lit, and it was Ah Shuang covered in the smell of alcohol who opened the door for Xiao Rou.
