When Lou Xi told Rong Zhi that she had a boyfriend, time seemed to stand still at that moment.
A few seconds later, the expression on Rong Zhi’s face softened. He remembered the time when Qin Mobai called him. Did they really become a couple?
"Qin Mobai?" Rong Zhi asked calmly.
Lou Xi was surprised about how Rong Zhi knew that her boyfriend was Qin Mobai. She had never told Rong Zhi, and Bai Lu wouldn’t have taken the initiative to tell him either.
But Lou Xi didn’t intend to hide this from Rong Zhi, so she nodded.
"If I’m not mistaken, he was just here for an exchange." Rong Zhi said in a serious tone, he sounded like a concerned parent, "I walked in from the school gate just now and heard more than one person discussing you and Qin Mobai."
Earlier, Li Ruolan had stopped her under the teaching building and talked about her and Qin Mobai. Since Qin Mobai was a prominent figure on the school’s top guy list, this matter hadn’t blown up, but students still discussed it privately.
Lou Xi already made quite a few enemies; many girls were eyeing Qin Mobai, but Lou Xi got ahead of them.
"Young Master Qin will handle this, Brother Rong, you don’t need to worry. If you’re going to the North, just go and earn lots of money. When you reach the pinnacle of your life, there will be plenty of beautiful girls chasing after you! Oh, there are already many now!" Lou Xi said to Rong Zhi with a smile.
Her words blocked everything Rong Zhi wanted to say, leaving him no opportunity at all.
Just then, the class bell rang. Lou Xi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "The class bell rang, I’m going to class first."
After speaking, Lou Xi turned and ran upstairs.
Rong Zhi could only watch Lou Xi’s figure disappearing into the distance.
...
The whole day, Lou Xi and Qin Mobai did not contact each other.
There were no phone calls, text messages, or WeChat messages.
When Lou Xi finished her classes for the day and returned home from school, Qin Mobai was not at home.
She was cooking dinner in the kitchen and took out eggs, tomatoes, and noodles.
Although she didn’t know why Qin Mobai was so obsessed with tomato and egg noodles, Lou Xi kept thinking about it while cooking.
Suddenly, she realized that maybe it wasn’t the bowl of noodles Qin Mobai was persistent about, it may have always been her, Lou Xi!
In fact, at the bar that time, regardless of whether anything happened between them, she would ultimately be with Qin Mobai, wouldn’t she?
Because... she was attracted to Qin Mobai, wasn’t she?
It seems... she figured it out...
Lou Xi immediately put down her chopsticks and ran out of the kitchen. She picked up the phone and called Qin Mobai.
The phone rang a few times before someone picked up.
"Young Master Qin! Where are you? I made tomato and egg noodles for you. I’m waiting for you to come back and eat." Lou Xi’s voice was not as low as before, it seemed very excited.
"Hmm." Unexpectedly, Qin Mobai responded with a soft "hmm."
"Young Master Qin, are you still angry? During this day we didn’t contact each other, I thought a lot. Actually, regardless of whether anything happened between us that night, I think I would ultimately like you. So, Young Master Qin, will you please come back?"
Especially after the brief conversation with Rong Zhi earlier, Lou Xi completely understood.
She liked Qin Mobai!
