C77 (1/2)
Xia Ying had thought that she was hallucinating, but that face was clearly Xue Minghuang's. Before he even had the time to laugh, she saw that expression in Xia Ying's eyes, and her heart was in excruciating pain for no reason. It was as if a fine needle had pierced through her body.
He seemed to have become thinner, but his eyebrows now had a more mature look, he was no longer the bright and lively youth he was when he first met him. Unknowingly, these changes, even after seeing them for themselves, Xia Ying would still feel sad. It was a very depressing mood.
He never expected that the woman by his side would actually change from Sophie to Shen Meng. That was true, when he left back then, Xue Minghuang had signed on Shen Meng's Xingfeng, and it had already been five years.
Xia Ying realized that she was actually thinking about this, and was extremely frustrated. No matter how powerful a person was, they were helpless against him, and a type of hatred was powerless against him.
She habitually lowered her eyes, and was originally thinking that she would pass by him in such a manner, yet she was stopped by Shen Meng. Shen Meng called out passionately: ”Big sister Xia, it's been a long time since we last met!” She seemed to completely not know what Xia Ying and Xue Minghuang had. She had only met her old friend and greeted him.
Xia Ying lifted her head and smiled at her. She was an indifferent person in the first place, so it was normal for him to not say anything.
Shen Meng was still holding onto Xue Minghuang's arm. Seeing Xia Ying laughing, she laughed and asked, ”Sister Xia, are you eating here too? If you knew earlier, then we'd have met. Otherwise, how boring would it be? With a friend or with yourself? ”
”With my friends.” Xia Ying braced herself to deal with Shen Meng, but at this time, Shen Yeya walked out of the private box. He also calmly opened the door and was puzzled to see the three of them blocking the way.
When Shen Meng saw Shen Yeya, his eyes almost glued to's body, ”You are also here? So your friend is you. ” She sighed in her heart. It would have been fine if she had come a little later. Maybe she could have eaten together with his.
Xia Ying unwittingly sized up Xue Minghuang. He lowered her head and played with a small cuff link in her hand, which was extremely exquisite. She flipped it around in his long, fair hands, which seemed to be extremely boring.
Shen Yeya did not reply Shen Meng, he only nodded quietly as a response. However, Shen Meng did not give up and continued, ”The food here is very delicious, I'm still full.” It was obvious that he wanted to interfere, so he waited for Shen Yeya to nod his head and he could enter.
Xia Zeyang raised his head and looked at Shen Yeya as if he was begging for help. Xia Zeyang was still in the house, so he couldn't let them in, so Shen Yeya naturally understood what he meant.
Shen Meng was slightly unwilling, she sarcastically said, ”Miss Shen, since you like this place, it's the same next time you come.” If she still could not understand the rejection in these words, Shen Meng would truly be an idiot.
”Alright, then I won't disturb you guys.” Shen Meng could only take her leave, then looked at Xia Ying. He noticed that her expression was a little unnatural, but she did not say anything. From start to finish, Xue Minghuang did not speak, nor did he have any expression. He did not even look at Xia Ying.
But at this moment, Shen Yeya turned his head to look at Xue Minghuang, ”Young Master Xue, I've heard great things about you. Naturally, he couldn't drag down the courtesy words that were supposed to be there.
Only then did Xue Minghuang raise his eyes and look at Shen Yeya. His eyes were still the same as always, with no other emotions.
When Xia Ying heard that, her heart thumped like a drum, what kind of feeling was that? She didn't even know that five years had really been five years. Hearing Xue Minghuang's voice again, she was actually at a loss.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the two of them walking away with each other. His heart ached from the numbness.
Shen Yeya turned to look at Xia Ying, who nodded, indicating that he was fine. However, Xia Zeyang suddenly opened the door and came out. Xia Ying panicked, he immediately covered his mouth and raised his voice, ”Let's go in.”
The voice had obviously reached the ears of Shen Meng, who had not gone far. Shen Meng was simply a little angry, she originally thought that Xia Ying had only pushed Shen Yeya towards An Xiyan, thus she had lost the chance, but she did not expect that the three of them had such a complicated relationship.
She, Shen Meng, simply admired and liked Xia Ying. Even so, the other party did not take her seriously. How could she swallow this kind of anger? When she thought back to the time when An Xiyan saved her, she had such an arrogant attitude. She instantly felt like a clown, and had let others see a joke for nothing.
Xue Minghuang didn't have any other thoughts in his mind, he didn't think that he would meet them here. He remembered that five years ago, Shen Yeya had already liked Xia Ying. Then, he thought, what did it have to do with him?
He lowered his head and looked at Shen Meng, so she actually liked him. What a coincidence. Xia Ying looked the same as before, but there were some changes, and she no longer looked as sharp as before. Her entire being seemed to have become more soft and gentle, how could he not be curious?
However, he was not allowed to be curious, nor was he allowed to see or ask. The pain from the past was too great, so he did not want to recall it again, even bit by bit.
