Chapter 680: I Don't Care About You Anymore

~7 min read 1,380 words

"Hey, handsome, can we exchange contact information?"

The woman was extremely enthusiastic, making no effort to hide her interest in Li Xiao.

Cai Xiaotang more or less understood what the other party meant; although she didn't turn her head, she immediately pricked up her ears.

Immediately after, she heard Li Xiao reply: "Sorry, I am already married."

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, and a look of unnaturalness flashed across her face in an instant.

Shameless!

He rejected her confession, yet at a time like this, he uses her as a shield!

She muttered to herself in her heart, unable to help but glance at the woman who was leaving in disappointment.

A backless dress, a hot figure—one look and you could tell she was a great beauty.

Cai Xiaotang was slightly stunned, unable to help but stare at that retreating figure for a few extra seconds, before suddenly realizing something.

Someone like Li Xiao... from childhood to adulthood, he must be confessed to by women all the time, right?

This kind of thing for him... should have been a common occurrence for a long time, right?

Is that why he could still get along with her like nothing happened after rejecting her?

But herself...

Cai Xiaotang suddenly bit her lip hard, and thinking of her "behavior" over this period of time, she couldn't help but feel a bit vexed.

If that's the case... then compared to Li Xiao, she is too pathetic!

She simply can't handle losing!

It's just a failed confession!

Since he is so composed, then she should be even more composed than him!

After all, the two of them have lived under the same roof for so long...

Never mind people, even if you raise a small animal, you would have feelings for it...

Although Li Xiao doesn't like her, but... there should at least be a little bit of "comradeship," right?

The worse her attitude is toward him, doesn't it just make it look like she cares about this matter even more?

Cai Xiaotang felt sour and bitter inside, and the entanglement and unhappiness of so many days suddenly cleared up.

She turned her head abruptly, looking at Li Xiao with a sharp gaze.

Li Xiao was instantly startled by her expression, thinking that the woman who came for his phone number earlier had annoyed her again, and he subconsciously wanted to explain.

But Cai Xiaotang spoke first, asking: "What do you want to drink? My treat?"

Li Xiao: "..."

Did he mishear something?

"Hurry up."

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but urge him.

The speed at which she changed her face was truly too fast; even Li Xiao couldn't react in time and could only subconsciously reply: "I... I'll have the same as you."

Five minutes later—the two of them, each holding a cup of milk tea, were strolling aimlessly through the mall.

Li Xiao simply suspected that he hadn't woken up yet.

If he remembered correctly...

Before leaving just now, Cai Xiaotang was still acting like she was very annoyed with him, right?

How did she change her face so suddenly in the time it took to get a cup of milk tea?

Li Xiao suddenly felt a bit of an "existential crisis" and finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Tang, are you... in a better mood?"

"Why would I be in a bad mood?"

Hearing his question, Cai Xiaotang deliberately raised an eyebrow and retorted.

Li Xiao was taken aback by her words, once again left speechless, and could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

Forget it...

As long as she is in a good mood.

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, he suddenly felt his shoulder being patted!

He subconsciously turned his head, just in time to meet the gaze Cai Xiaotang was casting over.

"There is one thing I need to explain."

Cai Xiaotang spoke unhurriedly, staring seriously at Li Xiao: "I was indeed in a bad mood the past few days, but... after all, the confession failed, it's understandable, so if there was any place where my attitude toward you was bad, I apologize to you. After all, I am not the Earth, why should everyone revolve around me? I won't take this little matter to heart anymore; let's just... part on good terms."

She looked broad-minded, and it was only missing the words "I don't care about you anymore" written on her face.

Yet only she knew in her heart how difficult it was to say these words.

Where is "letting go" something that can be easily achieved just by saying it with your mouth?

Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a bit depressed by her "part on good terms," but Cai Xiaotang had already turned and walked toward a jewelry store.

The two walked in one after the other, neither mentioning the previous matter again.

Cai Xiaotang even bought some things in a good mood and strolled for the whole day, only planning to leave when evening arrived.

"What do you want to eat tonight? How about we eat out tonight?"

Li Xiao took the initiative to suggest.

Throughout the whole day today, the two had returned to their normal mode of interaction, which made him feel much more at ease.

Cai Xiaotang had no objections to this and agreed accordingly: "Anything is fine, let's go take a look over there."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to walk toward the door outside the mall that connected to the plaza.

That was an open-air plaza specially opened up; from the lower floors to the upper floors, it was a completely different style from inside the mall, with mostly shops where one could eat.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes swept around, but her gaze was attracted by a semi-transparent glass building in the corner.

"What is that place for?"

She walked over with some curiosity.

Getting two steps closer, she finally saw a flag-shaped lantern hanging at the entrance of the shop, which was constantly changing colors, and music could be vaguely heard from inside; it looked like a bar.

Cai Xiaotang stood outside the door, and when her nose caught a faint scent of freshly baked pizza, she couldn't help but feel tempted.

"Let's go with this one."

She said this and was about to walk inside.

Seeing this, Li Xiao hurriedly pulled her arm: "This is a bar, are you sure you want to go in?"

"Is it not allowed?"

Cai Xiaotang asked back righteously, shook off his hand directly, and strode inside.

Seeing this, Li Xiao had no choice but to look at his own hand helplessly and followed her in, unable to help feeling a bit worried.

Her mood was so abnormal today; what if she got drunk again...

He couldn't help but recall the scenes of that person getting drunk the previous few times, and for a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Cai Xiaotang, however, had already walked in without looking back and quickly sat down at a seat near the stage under the guidance of a waiter.

"They have food here too, what would you like to eat?"

Li Xiao asked the waiter for a menu.

Cai Xiaotang took it casually and was just about to open it when she suddenly heard a huge scream erupt from a group of women nearby!

She was so startled that her hand shook, and she almost threw the menu onto the floor.

Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly looked around subconsciously, only to discover that the tables surrounding her seat were all filled with young girls.

And all of their eyes were fixed in the direction of the stage, with the same excitement written on every one of their faces.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but have her attention drawn as well, and she looked toward the stage.

Immediately, she saw four or five people standing on the stage, positioned in different spots and holding different musical instruments; it was the band that had just been playing.

And the most conspicuous among them was the man standing in the middle with fair skin and shoulder-length blonde hair.

Even Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.

This bassist was just too handsome!

No wonder so many young girls were screaming for him!
