Chapter 114 Separation (2/2)
Le Yi brought a thermos inside and went straight to the kitchen and took out a bowl. ”Bird's nest soup, drink it while it's hot.”
”It tastes strange...” A Miao took a sip and frowned at him.
”Shen made it,” Le Yi said with some amusement. ”He did it alone from beginning to end and didn't ask Auntie for help.” Seeing A Miao's moment of surprise, he went on to say.
”In fact, he asked me to throw it away and he went to the restaurant to buy some.”
A Miao was really surprised. ”Then where...”
”Downstairs.”
Shen Xinglan talked to Ouyang on the phone all afternoon and estimated that he had learned a lot. The first thing he did was to do it himself as long as it was related to A Miao.
”Don't worry about him.” Le Yi saw that A Miao was fidgeting, so he leaned on the sofa and asked her, ”Do you want to hear something about Lil Xi?”
”If you'd like to, I'll listen.”
Le Yi said, ”Lil Xi is the youngest of us. Shanshan brought him back.”
On one occasion, when they returned from training, Shanshan dragged him from the place where corpses were disposed of.
”A seven or eight-year-old girl dragged a boy about her age so far on a broken mat. At that time, Shanshan's hands and knees were injured.”
Later, under her meticulous care, the little boy slowly recovered and his life was literally saved. If Shanshan had not been there, he would have been eaten by vultures.
”That child was Lil Xi!” A Miao made a cup of tea for the two of them.
Le Yi nodded. ”So Shanshan is different to him.”
”Shanshan was the only warmth for Shen in those days. For several of us, she is more like a little sister. For Lil Xi, Shanshan is his family member. He always regards her as his sister.”
Before A Miao could speak, Le Yi added, ”However, I'm afraid that Shen has taken that girl as his sister now.”
”I don't think he knows exactly what his feelings for Shanshan are.” A Miao shook her head. ”I'm either being melodramatic or selfish. In my opinion, all those ambiguous games between brothers and sisters are abominable and despicable.”
Le Yi agreed with her very much. A Miao's character was like grass—stubborn and strong. Although seemingly ordinary, she always had her own pride.
”In fact, I knew that Lil Xi would go to the engagement party to make a scene. I'm sorry about that.”
A Miao had a facial expression that could have been anticipated. ”You wanted to see what Shen Xinglan would choose, right?”
She also knew very well that Le Yi and his friends accepted her only because of Shen Xinglan. They could admire her and care about her.
However, all this was based on Shen Xinglan's attitude. If he chose Shanshan today, they would not hesitate to exclude her.
”I know what you're thinking.” Le Yi was somewhat helpless. ”Don't be so sharp, I really regard you as my friend.”
A Miao smiled and did not answer.
”Don't you think it's easier to see a person's judgment in such a sudden situation?” Le Yi did not dispute with her either, then said, ”I want to let Shen see his heart clearly once again.”
He smiled. ”You have to face it, Shen wants to be with you. You'll have to confront the existence of Shanshan.”
”I understand.” A Miao nodded. ”But this cannot change my mind. I don't want to see him now.”
Le Yi winked at her. ”I didn't let you see him. That guy's always been domineering, and this time it's good to give him a taste of being ignored!”
”Poof...” A Miao also smiled. ”So, you are here to watch the bustling scene?”
”Yes, it's finished now!” Le Yi stood up and walked to the door. ”By the way, if Lil Xi comes to trouble you, you don't have to be polite to him. That guy is a bit stupid.”
A Miao took him to the elevator. ”I'm sure I won't let him bully me.”
”That's fine. Since you don't want to see Shen, call me if you need something.”
”Thank you, bye.”
Le Yi walked out of the neighborhood and went over to Maybach across the street.
”Did you hear?” He turned off his cell phone.
Shen Xinglan sat with a calm face. ”You gave her bird's nest soup to eat.”
”She didn't throw it away.” Le Yi gave him a look. ”If I guess correctly, A Miao will eat all of it.”
”That won't do.” Shen Xinglan immediately took out his mobile phone, typed a few words, and sent them.
When he finished sending them, he saw Le Yi staring at him.
”Say what you have to say.”
Le Yi said with a pleased expression, ”It seems that you have really made a choice.”
Just now, Shen Xinglan's first reaction was not to be glad that A Miao ate the thing that he had cooked, but it was to worry that A Miao would eat the bird's nest soup, which was so difficult to eat.
A person, if taking the other side as the starting point, then his feelings for that person, it went without saying...
”What are you going to do next?”
Shen Xinglan was staring at his mobile phone, and seeing that A Miao had not replied, was a little disappointed.
”Are you idle?” Knowing that his good friend was watching the bustling scene, Shen Xinglan looked straight ahead. ”Is that policewoman all right?”
At the same time, after reading the text message, A Miao pursed her lips and put the bird's nest soup in the refrigerator.
