Chapter 45
Xia Linxia bent down, about to sit, when her nose twitched. She suddenly leaned in and sniffed, "You even put on perfume to see her?"
"I just met her by chance," Ji Fengxue said with a laugh. "Who actually asked me out?"
"Me," Xia Linxia said, then pursed her lips and giggled, "The scent is quite nice."
"Thank you." Ji Fengxue looked at her starry eyes and guessed what she was about to say, directly interrupting her, "It's out of print, no link, no connection."
"Hmph." Xia Linxia drooped her head dejectedly. When she turned around, she found everyone staring at them. Seeing their posture, she was practically leaning into Ji Fengxue's face.
So she pretended to be natural, touched Ji Fengxue's face, showed off their affection, and then sat back in her seat, saying particularly loudly, "Darling, it's not my fault I came to play, right?"
Ji Fengxue smiled, propped her chin with one hand, her gaze shifting from Xia Linxia's face to the bag in her hand. The corner of her eye curved, "Your scarf is about to show."
Xia Linxia was startled and quickly opened the bag. Seeing that the scarf was well hidden at the bottom, with no trace of it showing, she paused and looked at Ji Fengxue in surprise, "You recognized me just now?"
"Your back is too recognizable."
Xia Linxia pouted. Fortunately, others hadn't recognized her. At this critical moment, the clothes and scarf sent by Qiu Xingzhou were still reliable. However, she had been eavesdropping for so long, and she hadn't heard clearly. She could only judge from the words and the volume that Ji Fengxue seemed to have really let go.
She pulled out the scarf, put it in her bag, then placed the bag on the table, and tilted her chin, "Here, for you."
Ji Fengxue raised her eyebrows, opened the box, and saw a pair of exquisite and beautiful high heels inside. She said with a smile, "This is the pair you promised to give me, right? They're very beautiful, thank you."
Xia Linxia crossed her arms and leaned back, couldn't help but show off. She crossed her legs, swinging her toes a couple of times, and said, "Of course they're beautiful. They haven't even been released in China yet. I asked someone to buy them directly from the fashion show."
Ji Fengxue's eyes darkened, "Who did you ask to buy them?"
"Qiu Xingzhou, he was attending fashion week abroad. I didn't expect this kid to know to buy me an extra outfit and scarf. That counts as filial..."
"Where did you just come from?" Ji Fengxue suddenly asked.
"Just the audition," Xia Linxia said. Seeing Ji Fengxue's face getting darker and not knowing what went wrong, she continued, "Then I went to find Qiu Xingzhou to pick up the shoes."
"The shoes are beautiful, but you don't need them, thank you." Ji Fengxue pushed the box towards her.
"Why don't I need them? Don't you like them?" Xia Linxia asked, confused.
"They don't fit."
"You haven't even tried them on!" Xia Linxia's eyes widened. How could she not accept a gift she gave? "Are you being ungrateful?"
Ji Fengxue felt a little childish and funny, yet she couldn't control the sourness in her heart and couldn't speak for a moment.
The two were in a stalemate for a minute. Xia Linxia's face fell, "If you don't like what I give you, what about what Xiao Yuran gave you? You'd treat a shoebox from her like a family heirloom, right?"
"Why bring her up?" Ji Fengxue said indifferently.
"Why can't I mention her? Weren't you two just sitting together talking and laughing?" Xia Linxia became more and more angry, "After just a moment, you two sat at a table behind my back. If I hadn't come tonight, wouldn't you two have gone straight to a hotel?"
"Xiaxia," Ji Fengxue took a deep breath, restraining herself, "You promised me before not to mention Xiao Yuran in front of me."
"Then let me ask you, why can't I mention her? Does mentioning her break your heart a little?" Xia Linxia pressed aggressively, but she herself didn't know why her words were so sharp. Ever since she saw them sitting together, she felt annoyed, and Ji Fengxue refusing her gift made her even more annoyed.
She kicked Ji Fengxue under the table and said in a low, stern voice, "Don't forget our current relationship. If you're unclear with others, won't that make me look like a cuckold?"
"Since you've brought it up, what's the deal with the news about you and Qiu Xingzhou possibly cheating? The whole internet is saying I've been cheated on," Ji Fengxue looked at her intently.
Xia Linxia was stunned, her tone immediately weakened by half, "Did you see the news?"
"Weibo pushed it to me, it's hard not to see it. Everyone thinks I, Ji Fengxue, am being cuckolded. What do you say we do?"
"What can we do? He and I are innocent!" Xia Linxia clicked her tongue.
"What is your relationship now?" Ji Fengxue pressed, pretending to be indifferent, "You'd better tell me honestly. If it's really a rekindled romance, I can make other arrangements."
"Rekindled what? He and I are just calling each other 'dad'!" Xia Linxia yelled in a low voice.
Ji Fengxue raised her eyebrows, observing her expression carefully. She looked calm and composed, with a hint of annoyance, which indicated she was speaking in haste and likely not lying.
"Then, Xiao Yuran and I are just friends who call each other 'friend'," she said, not realizing her lips had curved up. "If you can go to the airport specifically to meet, can't we run into each other at a restaurant?"
Xia Linxia slammed the table, "You! You're being unreasonable!"
Ji Fengxue: "You're famously double-standard."
Xia Linxia: "You! You're slandering me!"
Ji Fengxue: "You're famously double-standard."
Xia Linxia: "You! You! Big big bad!"
Ji Fengxue: ... "Lost to compulsory education."
At this moment, the waiter came to serve the dishes.
Xia Linxia finished her tirade, looking at the food angrily. She had no appetite to eat. She got up and threw the box on the table at Ji Fengxue, "I'm not eating! If you don't take this back today, you're dead!"
After saying that, she picked up her bag and walked out. After only two steps, her arm was forcefully grabbed. She didn't even need to look back to know who it was.
"Xiaxia."
Xia Linxia shook off her hand and continued walking towards the elevator. Glancing sideways, she saw Ji Fengxue chasing after her with the box. Only then did she retract her gaze, look straight ahead, and quickly tap her toes on the ground.
As soon as the elevator door opened, and she took a step inside, her waist was hugged from behind. The force was so great that she forgot to resist and was carried out like that.
"Let go!" she said furiously.
"Okay, don't be angry. Let's eat first. I'll accept the shoes, I really like them," Ji Fengxue coaxed her gently, but her hands didn't loosen.
"You stinky woman, let go."
Xia Linxia hit her hands. After a few hits, the back of her hands turned red, but Ji Fengxue still didn't let go. She whispered to her from behind, "Be good, stop making trouble. Sister will treat you to candy."
Xia Linxia's hands paused. Her ears felt inexplicably hot, and her throat moved. She looked down at their posture. Although she knew it was due to their playful struggle, she caught sight of the people in the restaurant looking at them. It felt like they were flirting in public.
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, her face flushed red.
So, she tried to break the ambiguous situation and called out for help, "Help! Can anyone save me? Ji Fengxue is hugging me and won't let go, she's going to hit me!"
Ji Fengxue was speechless.
After a while, Ji Fengxue turned around and gave an apologetic smile to the others, then directly pulled Xia Linxia into the elevator and quickly pressed the button.
Xia Linxia shrunk in a corner and asked weakly, "What are you going to do?"
"Didn't you say I was going to hit you? How can I just talk and not act?" Ji Fengxue walked towards her step by step, smiling sinisterly.
"Ahhhhhh! Don't come here!"
The customers, hearing the earth-shattering screams from the elevator, excitedly shivered and goosebumps all over. They took out their phones and went online to share fresh gossip!
