Chapter 2029: Some Happiness, You Cannot Give

Li Moning's tone was exaggerated when she spoke.

It didn't sound like she was complimenting someone; instead, it sounded like she was scolding them.

But Li Xingyan no longer had the heart to pursue it.

He watched those three people eat and chat with a depressed look on his face.

As for himself...

He was completely ignored!

When Sunday arrived, Li Moning and Wei Yangyang went to the gym together to check in.

However, there was one more person on the scene: Jiang Motian.

Jiang Motian had learned of their plans while on the phone with Wei Yangyang.

Once she heard about it, she became interested too and strongly demanded to join.

But she didn't come alone; at this moment, Xie Wanyi was standing in the nearby lounge area.

Jiang Motian and the others were training in the private training area.

The space inside was large and was open only to them.

The privacy was beyond reproach.

And standing in the lounge area with Xie Wanyi was Li Xingyan.

Even now, Li Xingyan still harbored doubts about Su Kexuan's capabilities.

Even though they had started training, he still watched with a critical eye.

Xie Wanyi was watching too.

It had to be said that Su Kexuan's fundamentals were very solid, and her teaching had no flaws.

But Xie Wanyi also knew the things she was teaching; he was even more proficient than Su Kexuan.

Then...

Xie Wanyi couldn't help but mutter, "Why won't Tiantian let me teach her?"

Li Xingyan had also asked Wei Yangyang and the others this question, and he knew the answer: "Because Su Kexuan is a woman, and women know better how to protect themselves."

Upon hearing this explanation, Xie Wanyi seemed to have a realization.

Then, very quickly, he stopped dwelling on it and even said, "I hope Tiantian can learn something useful."

Hearing this, Li Xingyan immediately turned his head to look over.

In his gaze, there was surprise, as well as confusion.

Xie Wanyi was baffled by his stare and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I thought you would want it to end sooner."

"Sooner or later doesn't matter, as long as she is happy."

"Since when did you become so enlightened?"

"It's not that I'm enlightened, but rather..."

Xie Wanyi paused for a moment before continuing, "It is you who needs to adjust your mindset."

"Adjust my mindset how?"

"Wei Yangyang is your girlfriend, but she also has her own life and won't always revolve around you."

"I know that."

"Then why is your expression still so serious?"

That was naturally because...

Deep down, Li Xingyan still wanted Wei Yangyang's eyes to only hold him.

But he also knew that such thoughts were wrong.

And he certainly couldn't say them out loud.

Facing Xie Wanyi's probing, he said calmly and firmly, "Because I am just a serious person."

This reason made Xie Wanyi shake his head with a smile.

He could tell that Li Xingyan was being insincere.

As a friend, and also as Li Xingyan's future brother-in-law, Xie Wanyi gave him a piece of advice: "Being in a relationship isn't about total possession, but about making the other person happy. Some of this happiness you can give, and some of it is something you cannot give."

Li Xingyan was unconvinced: "What is there that I cannot give?"

"The support and companionship of friends; look, how happily they are laughing right now."

Li Xingyan... saw it.

The women inside were already laughing in a group.

As it turned out, Jiang Motian's movements were too comical, making the others laugh.

Although it was a small matter, everyone was laughing brightly and was very relaxed.

And Li Xingyan probably understood Xie Wanyi's intentions now.

Before long, the women inside walked out of the training room.

Xie Wanyi asked, "Are you taking a break?"

"Yeah, and cooling off while we're at it."

"Cooling off? The air conditioning in the training room should be on, so it shouldn't be hot."

"Then there must be something wrong with the air conditioning; we felt it getting hotter and hotter."

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi went into the training room and walked around.

It was indeed stuffy and hot.

When he walked back out, he said, "I'll go find a staff member to take a look."

"Very well."

Xie Wanyi went to the front desk.

Seeing that everyone's faces were flushed, Li Xingyan volunteered, "I'll go get you all some water."

After saying this, Li Xingyan went to the water station upstairs.

Watching them one by one being so attentive, Su Kexuan couldn't help but sigh, "The feeling of being taken care of is truly nice; today, I'm really benefiting from your company."

"Actually, we are the ones who benefit the most, being able to have you teach us in person."

"Oh my, we are just fulfilling each other."

The group chatted in a relaxed manner.

But not far away, a commotion broke out.

The group looked toward the source of the sound.

They saw a tall, handsome man walking slowly, surrounded by a crowd and drawing everyone's attention.

Hmm, Yi Xiang?

Wei Yangyang was very surprised.

Yi Xiang's current state made her feel somewhat like a stranger.

Previously, when Yi Xiang was in front of Wei Yangyang, he was like a little puppy.

But at this moment, he was stern and serious, and every gesture he made exuded a sense of aloofness.

Moreover, he remained indifferent to the fanaticism and adoration of others.

Hmm, he really is a big star now.

Wei Yangyang sighed silently to herself.

Jiang Motian nudged her arm and said, "I almost didn't recognize him; that's the young fresh meat who used to be by your side."

"He's a star now, after all."

Li Moning leaned over and said, "Some of my classmates are obsessed with him. I didn't understand it before, but looking at him now, he really is handsome."

Jiang Motian saw something out of the corner of her eye and immediately raised her voice, saying, "Speaking of handsome, who could be as handsome as our big brother?"

"Big brother is handsome, but his personality is terrible. Sigh, he's only my brother, otherwise..."

"Ahem!"

Jiang Motian suddenly started coughing and interrupted Li Moning.

Li Moning turned her head, intending to show concern for her sister.

As it turned out...

Li Xingyan was standing not far away!

He held sports drinks in his hands, opened his mouth, and said coldly, "My personality is terrible?"

"Uh... you must have misheard just now!"

What a lame excuse.

Li Xingyan couldn't even be bothered to respond.

Li Moning hurriedly grabbed Wei Yangyang and Jiang Motian, begging the two of them to save her life!

But before those two could say anything, the commotion over there was gradually drawing closer.

As it turned out, Yi Xiang had spotted Wei Yangyang, so he changed direction and walked over.

Upon seeing Wei Yangyang, Yi Xiang was no longer cold and aloof, asking with a smile, "You're here to work out too?"

"Yeah, I came with friends."

"Exercising more is good. You're always doing design work; exercising is much more effective than taking health supplements."

Oh my, is this... a dig at someone?

Su Kexuan caught on and immediately put on a look of someone ready to watch a good show.

Yi Xiang was indeed taking a dig at someone.

He cast his gaze onto Li Xingyan and said with a smile, "If you want to accompany Yangyang to work out, wearing what you have on won't do."

"They are a group of girls working out together; I just brought Yangyang here."

"Why not join in?"

"I want to give her space to spend time with her friends. Being in a relationship doesn't mean possessing all of her; she needs friends."

These words...

If Xie Wanyi were here right now, he would definitely find them familiar.

Unfortunately, he was not.
