Shen Xi frowned. Why did Fu Qingli not lock Fu Qingxuan in and let him out instead?
Fu Qingxuan took large strides toward her and propped an umbrella over her head before looking at her with a smile. “Where are you going now?”
With a stoic look on her face, Shen Xi glanced at him. “Why are you here?”
Not the least bit infuriated, Fu Qingxuan spoke matter-of-factly, “Tomorrow’s your birthday. I came to celebrate with you.”
Someone then emerged from a nearby distance. A charming young man of a tall build strolled in the snow without an umbrella. All he had was a few cups of bubble tea. He drew close and gave Shen Xi a cup. “Happy birthday.”
Shen Xi winced in disdain. “My birthday’s tomorrow.”
Pei Xu smiled. “I’m just wishing you in advance. We rushed all the way here to celebrate your birthday but look at the attitude you’re giving us.”
Shen Xi retorted, “Oh, thank you.”
Pei Xu sighed and nudged Fu Qingxuan who was next to him. He was heartbroken. “I told you she’s heartless. You insisted on coming.”
Fu Qingxuan scoffed. “It’s not like you didn’t want to come.”
Having no comebacks, Pei Xu shrugged. He stared at Fu Qingxuan’s bubble tea and leaned in for a sip. “Yours is yummier than mine.”
“Let me try.” Fu Qingxuan looked at Pei Xu’s cup.
Pei Xu delivered his bubble tea right to Fu Qingxuan’s mouth.
While looking at the guys, Shen Xi somehow got a weird feeling between the two. What was with this situation of two grown men sipping on each other’s bubble tea? What happened between them to be so close?
Pei Xu scoffed at the look on her face in contempt. “What’s sharing a drink between bros?”
Shen Xi questioned, “Bros?”
Pei Xu paused and hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Bros.”
Shen Xi, “…”
This was Pei Xu’s first return since he went abroad for his studies.
Shen Xi was staying here today before leaving for home tomorrow afternoon. The trio found a nearby restaurant with great reviews for dinner.
With plans to travel back alongside Shen Xi tomorrow, Fu Qingxuan and Pei Xu checked into the presidential suite next to her room.
Shen Xi blurted her thoughts as the pair walked into the same room “Are you guys staying together?”
Furrowing his brows, Pei Xu offhandedly peered askance at her. “Do you expect us to stay with you?”
What was with that look? Shen Xi gave them a thought-provoking gaze every now and then since they met. Could it be…
F*ck!
With his eyes dilating, Fu Qingxuan kicked Pei Xu. “Don’t you dare!”
It did not change Shen Xi’s mind at all. If anything, it made it worse. Shen Xi cleared her throat. “Go to sleep, you two. Sleep, sleep.”
Pei Xu was about to go off when Shen Xi opened the door and stepped into her room. With nowhere to release his fury, he kicked the door. “I’m warning you, Shen Xi. Don’t f*cking get the wrong idea.”
Fu Qingxuan looked at Pei Xu oddly with his bright eyes. “What are you talking about?”
Pei Xu’s heart was racing, probably because Shen Xi got on his nerves. Looking at Fu Qingxuan’s face that was prettier than a woman’s, he went back to opening the door. On second thought, he handed the room key to Fu Qingxuan and took off.
Fu Qingxuan cried, “Where are you going?”
Pei Xu did not look back. “I’m going to book another room.”
Jesus. Shen Xi must have damaged her optic nerves together with her brain to think he had that sort of relationship with Fu Qingxuan. It was nothing more than a case of him thinking Fu Qingxuan had good looks.
Pei Xu approached the elevator and struck its door with his foot.
F*ck.
No way was that ever happening. He was as straight as an arrow!
Fu Qingxuan… Must be too!
Shen Xi had not spent much time in the room when there was a knock on the door. Pei Xu came over and hurled a bag of junk food onto the sofa. He returned from the loo after washing his hands and looked down at her from his high horse. “Are you living together with Toffeecito’s Dad now?”
Shen Xi looked back and let out a bright smile. “Alpha Xu, why are you becoming more and more like a nosy parker after a trip abroad?”
Pei Xu sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs before blissfully retorting, “Your relationship is progressing at light speed.”
Before Shen Xi could clap back, the door was knocked again, and in strutted Fu Qingxuan.
Pei Xu dismissed the subject at hand as Fu Qingxuan had a problem with Toffeecito’s Dad. Fu Qingxuan was likely to sulk in a corner if he were to find out about Xixi living together with Toffeecito’s Dad.
He had his sulky moments.
As there was still some time before dinner, the trio sat together on the sofa and watched a variety show. Featuring the Glitzy Girls, the show was quite interesting having been blessed by natural comics Song Wenye, the God of Variety, and Ye Weiyang.
Since the Glitzy Girls debuted, they started on a high with their good looks, exceptional talents, and strong vocals. In a mere couple of months, they had become China’s top girl group.
Now, the group was swiftly garnering attention from neighboring countries at an incredible rate and began expanding their activities abroad. The girls were branching out.
With the girl group making it big, many commercials and job offers were readily on the table. They had been making appearances on variety shows lately and showing a knack for it! Fans were drawn in by their performances.
Born to be in variety shows, Song Wenye and Ye Weiyang turned into fans-making machines.
“Ye Weiyang’s so funny.” Watching the show, Pei Xu commented to Shen Xi amid laughter.
“Lil’ Ye’s not doing too bad either,” Shen Xi replied. Song Wenye and Ye Weiyang were made for variety shows, that was for sure.
“She’s a nut. Of course, she’s going to be hilarious.” Pei Xu was in stitches. It was too funny. “Is she going tomorrow as well? I want to tell her to quit the girl group and keep her day job as a comedian.”
Shen Xi gave him a sideways glance. Pei Xu laughed and reached out to grab a chip from Fu Qingxuan’s hands. In fact, Pei Xu took a huge bite of the latiao that Fu Qingxuan pulled out of the bag. Making a face, Shen Xi frowned. Did boys usually behave like this when they hung out?
Pei Xu did not keep track of Shen Xi’s expression as he was completely absorbed into the show. Pei Xu watched with delight, thinking the girls in the group had their own qualities.
Fu Qingxuan did not seem to care either. He finished off the remaining half of the latiao to find Shen Xi staring at him. He grabbed a pack of latiao and tossed one to her. “This is good.”
The latiao was different and had its own distinctive taste based on its originating region in China, in which some brands were only available locally.
Pei Xu bought a local brand they had not tried before.
Shen Xi took a piece and bit it. It was delicious.. While munching on food and watching the TV, she would steal glances at the boys to observe their interactions.
