BXBX NOVEL Chapter 103 - 103: He is My First Love
The next day.
After arriving at the auction house, Qiao Yin immediately asked Lu Yanxi, “What did he say when you transferred the money to him yesterday?”
“Not much. He just complained about me making decisions independently again. But then he thanked me. He said I had done him a great favor, and he would take me out for a meal sometime.”
“Did he mention when he would pay back the money?”
“He wanted to return the money immediately, but I firmly refused. So he said he’d pay me back in a few days. I told him not to rush, he can use it for now.”
Qiao Yin let out a sigh of relief, feeling she might have overthought things yesterday.
She must have just been fooled by too many unscrupulous people recently, which led her into always deeply mistrusting others’ intentions.
Lu Yanxi sweetly savored the honeysuckle tea that Chen Yuan had gifted her, and generously shared a cup with Qiao Yin. She whispered, “Second Sister-in-law, to be honest, he is my first love. I’ve liked him for a long time.”
Qiao Yin, helpless, said, “I saw it a long time ago.”
Lu Yanxi was very surprised: “Was I really that obvious?”
To wake her up, Qiao Yin was willing to expose her own past: “You should remember how I was with your Second Brother before we got married, right? Every time I saw him, stars would twinkle in my eyes and I could no longer see anyone else. Every time I saw him, I became flustered, afraid that I might have done something wrong that might upset him.”
“Oh, I remember, Second Sister-in-law, you… indeed cared deeply about Second Brother.”
“Good that you remember, because you are acting just like me back then.”
Unfortunately, a girl caught in the whirlpool of love is hard to bring back to reason, Lu Yanxi still looked blissful: “Isn’t it like this when you like someone? Second Sister-in-law, do you think he likes me too? Otherwise, why would he come all the way to have a meal with me? He said it happened to be passing by my company, I don’t believe it at all, he must have come on purpose to see me.”
Seeing her in this state, Qiao Yin felt a little hesitated to let her down.
She could only say tactfully, “I only met him once, and I can’t make a judgment. Next time you meet him, remember to bring me with you. I’ll help you see.”
When necessary, she could resort to some tricks, such as accessing his and his friends’ mobile phones and checking their chats.
Everything seems to be normal for now, so there’s no need to pry into their privacy.
Lu Yanxi had no idea what Qiao Yin was thinking. She happily slid her arm through Qiao Yin’s, “Second Sister-in-law, you are so good to me! Don’t worry, I will bring you next time. I feel much more relaxed with you there. Otherwise, I will be really nervous. I’ve known him for so long, why am I still so nervous?”
Qiao Yin consoled her, “This is very normal. You care about him a lot, that’s why you are nervous.”
“Second Sister-in-law, you have no idea. Chen Yuan was the school heartthrob when we were in school. So many girls liked him, but he never responded to any of them. He has never been in a relationship, can you believe that?”
“Really? That’s good, he is clean and pure.” Qiao Yin had a slightly better impression of him.
“His academic performance was also very good, he studied very earnestly. My grades were not good, and he would tutor me. He never minded me being slow, he was very gentle and patient with me.”
“Turns out he’s a top student.”
“He has such a gentlemanly demeanor. Unlike other boys who are always touchy, he never was. Even when I intentionally got close to him, he never made any inappropriate moves. The most he does is pat my head, I love it when he pats my head!”
Listening to her talking non-stop about Chen Yuan’s virtues, and seeing her sweet face, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but soften and smile along with her.
Lu Yanxi was well protected by the Lu family, and she was very innocent.
Just like any young girl deeply in love, her heart and eyes were full of her beloved man. Even a simple pat on the head from Chen Yuan was enough to keep her happy till now.
Chen Yuan better not let her down..
