Chapter 245: Chapter 245: No One Can Be Together for a Lifetime (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes) Chapter 245: Chapter 245: No One Can Be Together for a Lifetime (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes) Sang Youyou pulled Shen Zhaozhao aside and teased–with a series of winks and grimaces–“Just the two of you alone under one roof, a solitary man and a single woman, and really not a single spark?”
Although this girl always says in front of her that Sheng Chuyi doesn’t like her, Sang Youyou can see that Sheng Chuyi obviously treats her differently from anyone else.
Especially the way he looks at her.
He’s such a cold person, yet his gaze softens noticeably when it falls on her.
Plus, the words he just said, why does it feel to her like they were intentionally said for everyone to hear?
“Don’t talk nonsense. He already has someone he likes!” Shen Zhaozhao’s eyes dimmed slightly. She didn’t know why, but although she used to think it was normal for him to like someone else, now the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.
There was a stifling feeling in her chest.
It must be because of her motion sickness from the high-speed train.
“Really? Someone from your school? Is she pretty?” Sang Youyou immediately followed up upon hearing this.
Shen Zhaozhao shook her head: “Haven’t met her yet, but I guess she must be pretty!” That guy couldn’t even appreciate Ye Wei’an, so presumably, the person he likes must be even prettier than her!
Sang Youyou looked in Sheng Chuyi’s direction: “Tsk, with such good prospects, you actually let someone else have him. If it were me, no matter what, I’d have to win him over. But speaking of which, he likes someone else, and you really don’t care at all?”
It seems there is indeed a slight discomfort.
Shen Zhaozhao: “Come on, he already has someone he likes. Do you really want me to steal him away from her?”
“What’s this stealing away; you were clearly the first, okay?” Sang Youyou turned back to look at Shen Zhaozhao with a hint of regretful admonishment.
Shen Zhaozhao glanced in Sheng Chuyi’s direction.
When she was younger, she always felt that they would always be together, never to part. But the two years they spent apart made her suddenly realize that maybe no one is meant to be together for a lifetime.
Parting ways was just a matter of time.
So, it seemed quite normal that he would fall for someone else.
After leaving the Shen family’s place, the group hailed taxis straight to the restaurant.
Sang Youyou looked at the upscale decor in front of her: “This place seems to have just opened, doesn’t it? It looks pretty expensive.”
“Right, it’s newly opened. Everyone feel free to order–today’s on me!” Lu Xu proclaimed, patting his chest.
Sang Youyou’s eyes lit up and she immediately flattered: “Lu Xu, so impressive!”
Lu Xu seemed to enjoy the praise, his lips curling into a smile: “Hah, such a pragmatic woman you are.” Then he called out to everyone, “Let’s go, let’s go. I’ve reserved a private room specially. What do you all want to drink? I’ll get them for you.”
Shen Zhaozhao suddenly chimed in: “Can I have a beer?”
Sang Youyou tugged at her sleeve: “Are you crazy? We’re all underage, why would you drink?”
Shen Zhaozhao pointed at the kegs of beer on the shelf: “I’m just curious to try it.”
Lu Xu looked at Sang Youyou: “Look at you, making such a big fuss. It’s just beer; it won’t get her drunk.” Then he said to Shen Zhaozhao, “No problem, I’ll get it for you.”
Lu Xu returned in no time with a bunch of drinks, followed by a waiter carrying the beer Shen Zhaozhao had asked for.
“Cough–what’s this, it’s so bitter!” Shen Zhaozhao took a sip and almost spit it out.
Both bitter and astringent, how could anyone enjoy this stuff?
Shen Zhaozhao swallowed with difficulty, only to see two hands reach out to her at the same time.
One hand was holding water, and the other was holding a tissue.
“Thanks!” Shen Zhaozhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled as she accepted the items from both Sheng Chuyi and Xu Siyan’s hands.
