C173 Reasons for Liking

"Alright then …" Yun Hao could only return to his room and sit on the bed.

Cheng Xi, on the other hand, was squatting in front of the luggage. She hesitated for a moment before replying, "About that, Yun Hao, can you turn your head around?"

It was only then that Yun Hao noticed that although he was in a daze, he was facing Cheng Xi, as if he was looking at her luggage.

"I'm sorry." Yun Hao immediately turned and looked towards the window. In actuality, he wasn't in the mood to pry into other people's luggage, because with the matter at hand, Yun Hao's current mood was extremely low. He didn't even know how he would face Xu Lee and Liu Jiaming in the next few days!

If only he had known earlier that he would feel so uncomfortable just by looking at the two of them standing together, he would have rejected this gathering no matter what excuse he used.

While he was feeling depressed, Yun Hao subconsciously reached into his chest and took out a pack of cigarettes. Yun Hao smoked, but the frequency was very low. A pack of cigarettes was in his pocket, and after a week, there would only be one or two left. Only when he was extremely depressed or something was happening, would he think of smoking a cigarette.

The reason why it was like this, was all because of Xu Lee. Xu Lee did not like the smell of the smoke. She was allergic to the smell of the smoke, and would feel nauseous whenever she smelled the smoke.

Yun Hao held onto the cigarette. Only when he wanted to light it up did he remember that there was still Cheng Xi in the room. He said: "Can I smoke?"

Cheng Xi nodded and said: "It's alright, go ahead and smoke."

Yun Hao had a cigarette in his mouth, but when he tried to light it up, he realized that he wasn't wearing a lighter.

While he was fumbling around, Cheng Xi walked to his side. She took out an exquisite and delicate lighter from her pocket, lit it up and gave it to Yun Hao.

Looking at the lighter, Yun Hao was surprised. He was curious, why was there a lighter on Cheng Xi's body?

Did Cheng Xi smoke too? That was quite surprising. However, there was no smell of smoke coming from Cheng Xi's body.

"Thank you." Yun Hao lit up his cigarette and took a deep breath.

After not smoking for a long time, when he suddenly took a deep breath, Yun Hao felt as if his brain had been struck by something, causing his originally chaotic thoughts to become even more chaotic.

"I don't smoke." Cheng Xi seemed to have thought of something and said.

Yun Hao raised his head to look at Cheng Xi, and said: "Why are you explaining this to me?"

"Because I'm afraid I'll smoke if you misunderstand. Most men don't like girls smoking." Cheng Xi said.

Yun Hao smiled lightly, and said: "Then I won't be part of the majority of these men."

Smoking itself was not a good habit, but when it happened to men and women, it was different. When men smoked, everyone thought it was normal, but when they saw a woman smoking, their impression of her naturally decreased.

Actually, this was a very common type of prejudice, but in regards to Yun Hao, he did not have much of a bias.

Smoking was just a matter of personal habits and had nothing to do with this person's character.

"This is for you." Cheng Xi passed the lighter in her hand to Yun Hao, and said: "I wanted to give it to you a long time ago."

The lighter in Cheng Xi's hand, she had already bought it seven years ago. He had always wanted to gift it to Yun Hao as a gift, but he couldn't find the chance to. After Yun Hao was together with Xu Lee, Yun Hao had directly given up on smoking, making it even more impossible for Cheng Xi to give him the lighter. Now, she finally had the chance to deliver this gift that he had left in his hands for seven years and had not given it out to Yun Hao.

Yun Hao looked at the lighter, and said: "It seems to be very valuable."

"If you don't accept it, then there's no use in me taking it."

"Thank you." Yun Hao said as he held the lighter.

"I'm going to change." Cheng Xi immediately turned around and quickly entered the bathroom.

Yun Hao looked at the lighter, and his mind started to wander. Maybe this gathering, with Cheng Xi as her cover, would be a good choice. But doing this, wouldn't it be a little too shameless? Using Cheng Xi's love for him, using her as a shield, to block the harm Liu Jiaming and Xu Lee were unwittingly causing him? He felt a little shameless just thinking about it.

Lee Mingzhe had told him before that the way to forget a period of love was to talk about another period of love. Perhaps, Cheng Xi taking the initiative to approach him was also a chance for him, an opportunity to pull him out of Xu Lee's influence.

Maybe there was no need for him to do that. He could avoid the relationship between him and Cheng Xi and let things develop naturally.

Just as Yun Hao was thinking about these issues, Cheng Xi walked out of the bathroom and changed into a clean set of clothes.

She had changed into a blue tunic and a white blouse. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, making her look very refreshing.

"Thank you for lending me my clothes." Cheng Xi returned the clothes that Yun Hao had lent her to wrap around her waist back to Yun Hao.

"There's no need to thank me. I was the closest one, and I'm the only one who wore a coat. If it was anyone else, they would have done the same thing." Yun Hao said.

"Do you remember? The first time we met, at the Freshman Welcome, a nail on the stool tore my skirt, and it was you who lent me your clothes. " Cheng Xi said: "At that time, the others did not do what you did."

This was also the reason why Cheng Xi liked Yun Hao.

For Yun Hao to be able to obtain the secret affection of so many girls, and to be able to get along with them, it was definitely not for no reason. Other than his good looks, there were other reasons as well. The kindness in his personality and the gentleness in his ways were all factors that attracted others.

"It's been so long, I didn't think you would still remember." Yun Hao said with a smile.

Cheng Xi's face carried a trace of scarlet as she replied, "Of course I remember! "I …" Her somewhat passionate voice suddenly became much smaller. She said, "I'll never forget it for the rest of my life. Have you forgotten? "

How could he forget about that?

A beauty like Cheng Xi was sitting beside her. When the crowd dispersed, her skirt suddenly tore, revealing her long fair thighs. It was even possible to see her pure white lace underwear. That was why when she suddenly thought of it, the events of the day seemed to have happened yesterday. It was deeply imprinted in the deepest place of Yun Hao's mind.

"Of course not. After all, this is the first time we've met, right?"
