Phi-Fic Chapter 49 Do you like Fei Chenfeng?
Chapter 49 Do you like Fei Chenfeng?
Luo Jiuyu didn't know much about her family's affairs and therefore declined to comment.
He just stared at her for a while, thinking about how to ask her.
"Just say what you want to say." Hua Meimei noticed his hesitation. "You came all the way to my company to see me, is there something important you need?"
Could it be that he wants to ask about what happened at the porridge shop this morning? Did he see her having breakfast with Fei Chenfeng and want to accuse her of cheating again?
"Aren't you cold riding your motorcycle every day?" he asked gently.
She exclaimed in surprise, realizing that the two of them were thinking on completely different wavelengths.
"You came to my company to find me, didn't you want to ask about the breakfast I had with my old classmate this morning?"
"No." Luo Jiuyu looked indifferent.
"Oh." She's overthinking it...
He apologized last time and said he wouldn't interfere with her relationships with men. Did he really keep his word?
"Your company's business has been doing better recently, so buying a car worth 100,000 or 200,000 yuan shouldn't be a problem. Why didn't you buy one?" Luo Jiuyu asked again.
Hua Meimei had considered buying a car. She just felt that the company was currently in a period of financial need, and if she used the money to buy a car, she might have to borrow more money if she needed it urgently.
It's so hard to borrow money these days; she has no one left to borrow from.
She looked down at her phone and said calmly, "I dare not spend money recklessly, for fear that my cash flow will dry up again. There's no one I can lend money to."
Fei Chenfeng just left her a message on WeChat, asking her what she had for lunch.
Fei Chenfeng was working at the hospital and asked her if he could pick her up and take her home together after get off work that evening.
He wanted to drive over to pick her up so she could park her motorcycle in the company parking lot, since it was too cold to ride.
Her attention was drawn to Fei Chenfeng's message, and she kept her head down, typing rapidly on her phone to reply.
The two chatted back and forth, one sentence after the other.
Luo Jiuyu remained silent and didn't say anything, so she ignored him.
Don't pick me up, I don't even know when I'll get off work.
It's too cold for you to ride your bike; I'm worried you'll catch a cold.
I'm used to it; I'm in great health.
How about I let you drive my car?
Wow, you're so generous! You just lend me a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan like that. Aren't you worried I'll break it?
She couldn't help but chuckle as she joked with Fei Chenfeng. She glanced up casually and noticed the man opposite her had a livid face.
She said, "Excuse me, I'm chatting with a friend. Please do as you please."
Luo Jiuyu's gaze was deep and serious. "Hua Meimei, I came here to have dinner with you, not so that you would leave me standing there."
"Huh?" Berry's brain was a step slow to react, and she didn't quite understand what he meant.
Why would he come over to have dinner with her if there's nothing wrong with him? She never said she needed him to accompany her. Besides, given their relationship, does she think he'd come to be with her just because she wants him to?
"I thought you came to question me about having breakfast with Fei Chenfeng. Since you're not holding it against me, there's nothing more to say. Oh, and thank you for paying the bill for us this morning." Hua Meimei smiled carefree.
Even if he holds a grudge, she won't tolerate it. She'll argue back however she pleases.
Luo Jiuyu's face was so gloomy it could drip water, and he stared intently at Hua Meimei.
He seemed to be trying to see a hint of guilt or some other emotion on her face, but Hua Meimei just looked back at him with a frank expression.
"Hua Meimei, what am I to you?" Luo Jiuyu's voice was low, carrying a hint of barely perceptible repression.
Hua Meimei was somewhat taken aback by his sudden question.
"Luo Jiuyu, we're just a fake couple, didn't you say that yourself?"
"Can't fake couples be real friends?" Luo Jiuyu retorted coldly. "We live under the same roof, eat at the same table, and even play the role of husband and wife in front of our relatives. Why can't we be real friends?"
"What's wrong with you? This is ridiculous." Hua Meimei frowned, annoyed that someone was criticizing her for something like this.
Does it really matter whether we're true friends or not?
After a divorce, people go their separate ways and rarely see each other again.
Since there's no longer any need for contact, he will marry a new wife, and she can live her own life in peace, perhaps even marrying a man she truly loves.
Luo Jiuyu crossed her arms, straightened her back, and scrutinized her. "I'm sitting face to face with you, and you're on your phone chatting enthusiastically with Fei Chenfeng. Even a normal friend would be angry."
Hua Meimei raised an eyebrow; so that's what made her angry. She was indeed in the wrong; she hadn't shown him any respect.
"Sorry, you didn't say anything just now, so I replied to his message first."
How come he has such sharp eyes? He can even see who she's talking to; his eyesight is really good.
Did he even glance at the chat content? I'll have to be careful he doesn't click on anything when I use my phone in front of him in the future.
Luo Jiuyu remained silent with a cold expression as the waiter brought their food over.
"Please enjoy your meal." The waiter smiled and glanced at him, but seeing his gloomy face, he immediately stopped smiling and slunk away.
Hua Meimei chuckled to herself, "Luo Jiuyu, don't look so serious, you're scaring the girl away."
"..."
"You like Fei Chenfeng?"
As she lowered her head to sip the sour fish soup from her spoon, she suddenly heard him ask that question.
His voice was like a cold wind blowing through a cold night, low and hoarse, carrying a chilling coldness.
The fish soup scalded her mouth, and her hand trembled, causing the spoon to fall into the soup bowl.
"Sizzle..." She exhaled, it was really hot.
Luo Jiuyu blinked her eyelashes and handed her two tissues, her words still carrying a hint of reproach. "You rushed through the hot food that was just served."
Hua Meimei took the tissue he gave her and used it to wipe her mouth. She couldn't help but frown, and her watery eyes were filled with a hint of grievance and confusion.
"What exactly do you want from me today? Are you here to yell at me? Are you upset because you caught me having breakfast with Fei Chenfeng? Just say so!"
She doesn't like to beat around the bush.
Luo Jiuyu looked at Hua Meimei quietly, his eyes shifting slightly. After a moment, he slowly said, "I'm not here to scold you. Let's eat."
His voice had lost its previous coldness and was now gentle.
Hua Meimei clicked her tongue, picked up the spoon again, and slowly blew on the hot soup before drinking it.
The sour fish soup is fragrant and spicy, and tastes delicious. It warms you up in your stomach and makes your whole body feel warm.
Her attention was immediately drawn to the food, and she stopped arguing with him.
The WeChat notification sound on my phone rang again.
I forgot to reply to Fei Chenfeng, and Fei Chenfeng sent me several messages.
She swiped to unlock her phone, ready to reply. Remembering the Black Impermanence on the other end, she smiled at him, "You eat your food. Don't look at me."
He snorted coldly, looked away, and began to eat.
I have two cars; I could give you one without any problem.
This is Fei Chenfeng's joking reply to her just now, a message from five minutes ago.
What I'm sending you now is a photo of lunch.
He ate at the hospital cafeteria with two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, a vegetable soup, and half an apple, which was a balanced meal.
Then he asked her what she was eating.
She raised her phone and took a picture of her meal.
Send him a message with the following text: "[Remember that sour fish soup restaurant where we met up last time? I'm eating there.]"
It's a pity I wasn't there; let's eat together next time.
This time, Fei Chenfeng sent a voice message directly. His voice was always gentle.
Hua Meimei accidentally switched to speakerphone mode when she turned on the audio, and Luo Jiuyu heard it all.
He frowned. "You shouldn't talk while eating or sleeping. Can you please eat properly?"
"Just eat your food properly, why are you bothering me?" Do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy!
"Your phone use is affecting my appetite," Luo Jiuyu said gently.
