Chapter 84 - A World Without You (2)
"Xiao Feng, are you okay? Is there something else you found out?" Su Xiaofei waved her hand in front of his face, trying to bring him back to reality.
Lu Qingfeng blinked and pushed her hand away and sighed, snatching the menu from her hands.
"I'm starving. Since you are the one paying today, you don't mind if I order whatever I want, right?" He replied.
"Of course, anything for our most valuable player who secured our win today." She winked at him, before turning her attention to Xi Qian, who was watching the interaction between the two.
Xi Qian wasn't sure what it was, but she could feel that something between these two changed, and she wasn't certain if she was going to like it or not.
"Qian, order whatever you want, okay? Don't be shy. If there's something you can't finish, I can ask them to pack those for you to take home." She heard Su Xiaofei say.
When she didn't reply, Su Xiaofei furrowed her brows. "Qian?"
Xi Qian snapped out of her trance and picked up her own menu.
"O-okay, I'm going to choose now." She stuttered, hiding her face behind the menu while trying to peek at Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng.
Did this little tyrant do something to their Feifei? Why did she feel like there's something going on between these two?
Xi Qian shook her head in an attempt to clear her thoughts. Lu Qingfeng, although annoying at times, wouldn't dare to seduce Su Xiaofei at such a young age. Still, it seemed like not only she needed to watch out for Mo Yuchen, she should also keep an eye on this little tyrant.
Su Xiaofei seemed to be in a good mood today, but Xi Qian didn't know what made her best friend happy.
"Did something good happen recently, Feifei? You seem to be in a good mood."
"I am?" Su Xiaofei eyed her and cocked her head in one side. "I suppose you are right. Everything's going well for me these days."
She recalled that as soon as their car drove away from the academy, she spotted the crying Ye Mingyu being consoled by Cai Lin of all people. Su Xiaofei knew that Cai Lin would keep his relationship with Feng Xue'er a secret from Ye Mingyu and it didn't matter if Ye Mingyu knew who he was or not, because Su Xiaofei was certain that the young woman would take this chance to pull Cai Lin in anyway.
'Feng Xue'er, you've tried your best to keep Ye Mingyu away from Cai Lin, but it's too late now. Watch and see for yourself how fickle and useless your friendship is with Ye Mingyu.' She thought as she took a sip from her tall glass of orange juice while they waited for their orders to arrive and to be served.
"Feifei, are you going to attend the founding ball? I think I would have to decline the invitation." Xi Qian asked her.
"Why aren't you going? Don't have a dress to wear, is that it?"
Xi Qian nodded her head. She also didn't attend last year's founding ball because she didn't have anything to wear, and Su Xiaofei wasn't there either.
Su Xiaofei smiled and patted her friend's hand. How can she not know Xi Qian's predicament?
"Silly, Qian. I have a massive wardrobe that houses numerous evening gowns and dresses that I have yet to use. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't lend you some? I'm pretty sure there's something inside that wardrobe that can fit you."
Xi Qian blushed and lowered her head. For things like this, she sometimes hoped that she had at least loving parents who could spoil her once in a while, but she knew her parents wouldn't even spend a dime for her to get a decent ball dress she could wear for the event.
"Just agree and don't argue anymore." Lu Qingfeng commented, but his gaze was somewhere else. "Feifei is kind enough to lend you some of her things. It's not like you are borrowing money."
"O-okay, if you say so. Thanks, Feifei."
With all the favors she was receiving from Su Xiaofei, Xi Qian felt that the need to return at least some of them in any way possible.
"Don't overthink, Qian. I'm not doing this for anything. You are my friend, so why can't I treat you well? However, in the future, if I somewhat mess up, you have to help me, okay?" Su Xiaofei winked at her. She was just teasing Xi Qian, but the latter took her words seriously.
"Deal, but you better not make a fuss about it in the future, Feifei. I don't mind hitting your head if you dare to make silly decisions like going back to Mo Yuchen again."
Su Xiaofei laughed at that, while Lu Qingfeng didn't make any indication that he heard what Xi Qian had said.
"What made you think that I still like that man?"
Xi Qian shrugged, before following Lu Qingfeng's gaze, noticing that he was actually looking at Mo Yuchen in the opposite restaurant. She groaned upon seeing the man.
"Speaking of the devil." Xi Qian muttered. "Perhaps we should use a code for him, to avoid seeing him out of the blue like this."
"Aiya, there's no need to look at him. Just pretend he doesn't exist. Why do we need to ruin our good appetite with his presence?" Su Xiaofei clapped her hands together when the waiter came with their food.
"You are eating more these days." Lu Qingfeng commented. "Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"
In his previous lives, Su Xiaofei had starved herself to keep her figure perfect for Mo Yuchen.
She shook her head.
"It would be a waste not to eat such good food. If a man doesn't like me because I'm a little fat, then damn him. Who needs him?"
Lu Qingfeng chuckled bemusedly.. Right, he preferred her a little chubby anyway.
