Chapter 2009: So Fierce, You'll Scare Your Sweetheart

As he was leaving, Li Xingyan nearly collided with someone head-on.

"Sorry."

Su Kexuan didn't even look up; she shifted her body to the side and walked past.

But after taking only a few steps, Su Kexuan sensed something was off.

She hurried back and took another look at Li Xingyan...

"Heavens, it really is you! Li Xingyan, what kind of shock did you receive to dress like this?"

As Su Kexuan spoke, she looked at Li Xingyan with a teasing glint in her eyes.

Her scrutiny and her words made Li Xingyan's temples ache a little!

He rubbed his temples, then lowered his voice and warned Su Kexuan: "Be quiet!"

Su Kexuan didn't feel she was being noisy, and she intended to keep talking.

But remembering something, she used her arm to measure the distance between herself and Li Xingyan.

Once she was far enough away, she nodded lightly.

Wei Yangyang was stunned by her actions, and she asked: "What are you..."

"Someone warned me to stay far away from him, lest anyone misunderstand that there's something between us."

As for who would misunderstand that there was something between these two...

Besides Wei Yangyang, who else could it be?

Wei Yangyang realized this connection, and her face turned red instantly.

Su Kexuan was still lamenting: "Sigh, how blind must I be to have liked him!"

Li Xingyan's brows twisted into a caterpillar; he opened his mouth, suppressing his anger, and called out: "Su Kexuan!"

"Oh my, why are you shouting? You're so ungentle!"

As Su Kexuan said this, she looked at Wei Yangyang with a smile and added: "If you're really scared, come with me; I'm much gentler than Li Xingyan."

This was just a joke.

But at this moment, Wei Yangyang couldn't laugh.

Her hands were clasped together.

Her fingers tightened, and Wei Yangyang bit the bullet and spoke: "You two are very good friends, don't let a rift grow because of others."

Su Kexuan curled her lip upon hearing this.

She said: "Who is friends with him? I only look for Li Xingyan to make money."

Speaking of making money, Su Kexuan sighed melancholically: "Making money is truly hard!"

This... who could argue with that.

Wei Yangyang felt a sense of shared sorrow and nodded in agreement.

Li Xingyan naturally couldn't understand how hard it was to make money.

To him, money was just a string of numbers.

But seeing the melancholy on Wei Yangyang's face, Li Xingyan softened his expression and said: "Are you having trouble with funding? If so, you can tell me, and I will help you."

Before Wei Yangyang could speak, Su Kexuan hurriedly interjected: "I do! Give me another two percent!"

"Shut up!"

Li Xingyan had truly had enough of this person and couldn't help but rebuke her.

Su Kexuan widened her eyes and said: "You, why are you speaking so rudely? Be careful not to scare your sweetheart!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyan glanced at his sweetheart with a bit of nervousness.

Wei Yangyang lowered her eyes, pretending she hadn't heard what was just said.

But...

She kind of wanted to laugh.

It really was strange; why was her sense of humor so low today?

Wei Yangyang felt suspicious, while at the same time, she tried hard to suppress the curve of her lips.

Su Kexuan spoke again: "Li Xingyan, why are you wearing a plaid shirt? Are you trying to keep a low profile?"

Her words hit the nail on the head regarding Li Xingyan's little secret.

Li Xingyan felt a moment of awkwardness.

But soon, he returned to normal and said: "I just changed my style, what, do you have an opinion?"

"How would I dare to have an opinion, but let me remind you, don't change your style so casually next time; you look like a programmer."

"Pfft—"

Wei Yangyang had been trying very hard to hold it in.

But Su Kexuan's mention of a "programmer" caused her to completely lose her composure.

Her laughter drew the attention of both Li Xingyan and Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan tilted her head and curled her lips: "Do you agree with me too?"

She certainly did!

But seeing the dark face Li Xingyan was wearing out of the corner of her eye...

She couldn't tell the truth!

Wei Yangyang quickly reined in her laughter and said with a straight face: "What one wears is Li Xingyan's freedom; let's respect his choice."

"Sigh, it really is you; sensible and gentle, no wonder Li Xingyan..."

"Enough, no one will think you're a mute if you don't speak!"

Sensing that Su Kexuan was about to speak without restraint, Li Xingyan immediately stopped her fiercely.

Su Kexuan did not continue speaking.

But she couldn't help but retort to Li Xingyan: "You'd better say less too; being so fierce will scare Yangyang!"

After saying this, Su Kexuan held Wei Yangyang's hand and said: "Don't be afraid, he won't eat you."

"I'm not afraid; Li Xingyan used to be even fiercer than he is now, I'm already used to it."

Wei Yangyang was stating a fact.

Su Kexuan, however, raised her eyebrows: "He was always fierce to you in the past?"

"... It doesn't really count as 'always'."

After all, they didn't see each other very often in the past.

It really couldn't be counted as "always."

Su Kexuan, however, did not hear the subtext in Wei Yangyang's words.

She only saw Wei Yangyang's struggle and hesitation.

Suddenly, she felt that Wei Yangyang was just a poor little thing!

Once excited, Su Kexuan began to egg Wei Yangyang on: "Then don't stay with him anymore, run away with me!"

After saying this, Su Kexuan actually started pulling Wei Yangyang to leave.

Li Xingyan hurriedly pulled Wei Yangyang's hand back.

His brows were deeply furrowed, and he scolded Su Kexuan: "Go do whatever you're supposed to be doing!"

Speaking of what Su Kexuan had to do...

It was a coincidence; she had come here to find the same friend Li Xingyan had just visited.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of the bag in Li Xingyan's hand, which contained several bottles of health supplements, and she reached out to take them.

Li Xingyan hurriedly dodged and questioned: "What are you doing?"

"Share one bottle with me, so I don't have to go find someone to ask for one."

"Why should I share with you? This is meant to be a gift!"

"A gift? A gift for whom?"

Su Kexuan thought of something and looked at Wei Yangyang: "Is it for you?"

"It's for my father."

After Wei Yangyang finished speaking, she felt it wasn't quite precise, so she added: "Occasionally, I take them too."

"Then how do you feel?"

"Feel... oh, my physical strength has improved recently."

Su Kexuan was tempted as soon as she heard this.

She said: "Isn't that just perfect for me? Hey, can I ask you a favor, share a bottle with me?"

"Of course you can."

Worried that Li Xingyan would object, Wei Yangyang took the initiative to take out a bottle and handed it to Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan hurriedly caught it.

Then, she made a face at Li Xingyan and said: "Look at her level of awareness!"

Li Xingyan indeed did not have as high a level of awareness as Wei Yangyang.

He only felt that it was a real pity to give that bottle of health supplements to Su Kexuan...

But this item would not be given to Su Kexuan for nothing.

Sooner or later, he would make her compensate for it!

Li Xingyan stared at Su Kexuan, his eyes narrowing slightly.

And his stare made Su Kexuan shiver uncomfortably.

"Ah, right, I have a friend who also wants to try these health supplements, and they even asked me to take a picture of the ingredient list!"

As Su Kexuan said this, she took out her phone.

But once she took the phone out, she discovered it was out of battery.

With no other choice, Su Kexuan had to ask Li Xingyan: "Can you lend me your phone?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking to the bottom of a valley.
