Chapter 830: Chapter 827: Thunderous Counterattack 7
Li Zhen was very happy, yet very nervous, as this was his first time having dinner alone with Yan Xixi. His heart was almost about to leap out, like a real date.
Ordering food, serving dishes, he was nervous, incoherent, with a constant smile on his face.
Yan Xixi sighed inwardly, feeling very apologetic.
Even if it’s just acting, could this hurt Li Zhen? No, she certainly didn’t want to hurt him—some women think they have great charm, playing different men like pawns, yet little do they know that they can only hurt those who love them. If one doesn’t love you, how could they give you the chance to hurt them?
Especially Li Zhen, after all these years, how could she not understand his feelings?
"Yan Xixi, when do you leave? Can I accompany you this time?"
She was very calm, smiling as she shook her head: "There isn’t much time left, and we’re headed in different directions."
Li Zhen didn’t say much. But just as they were about to finish eating, he suddenly spoke: "Next year, I might work in South Country..."
Yan Xixi was startled.
Suddenly remembering, Li Zhen was about to graduate. Time really flies!!!
"My family respects my choice, my parents agree with me staying abroad, as long as I can make an effort, they don’t interfere with whether I return or not..."
She immediately realized: Li Zhen makes such a choice clearly because of herself.
If it weren’t for her being at South Country University, why would he casually choose South Country?
"In the first half of the year, I’ve been in contact with a few companies, but I don’t know what the final result will be, however, I will do my best..."
She finally spoke slowly: "Li Zhen, you actually don’t have to do this."
"Why?"
She spoke frankly: "If you’re doing it for me, I might not be able to give you anything you want. Li Zhen, we’re just classmates."
He blushed, rebutting: "How can we know it’s not suitable without trying?"
"..."
"Yan Xixi, I think differently from you. In this world, the most important thing isn’t the result, but the process. If everyone goes for the result, then nine out of ten people are destined to be disappointed. Besides, I am heading to South Country not because of you, but because I have my own choices!"
She smiled wryly, saying nothing.
Li Zhen is a smart person, quickly changing the topic.
As long as it doesn’t involve relationships between men and women, the atmosphere is extremely pleasant.
As they chatted and laughed upon exiting, they ran into Huang’s mom and her group.
Yan Xixi chose this restaurant precisely to meet her. Indeed, Huang’s mom did not disappoint her.
Not only was Huang’s mom there, but also Zhou Ting.
Seeing her with Li Zhen, although not exactly ambiguous, their cheerful chatting and intimate demeanor definitely were not those of just ordinary friends.
Yan Xixi even proactively greeted them openly: "What a coincidence, Aunt Huang, Zhou Ting, we meet again."
Zhou Ting replied meaningfully: "What a coincidence."
Li Zhen merely nodded slightly.
This was Zhou Ting’s first time seriously observing Li Zhen, seeing the young man, handsome and with a determined look among his eyebrows, although not a great figure, yet in no way inferior to Huang Xiaojue, Wan Donglin, and others.
"Yan Xixi, shall we go?"
He called her Yan Xixi, both first and last name—yet so intimately—only childhood friends, classmates—would call each other like this.
Standing together, they look even better than when standing with Huang Xiaojue or Wan Donglin: one from C Country University, one from South Country University, a perfect match, complementing each other.
