Chapter 17: Eating Bitterness

  "How did you end up here?" Just then, I saw Huang Weiwei sadly leaving, and suddenly Liu Ke's surprised voice sounded beside me.

  I slightly turned my head in surprise and found Liu Ke staring at me with a very strange expression. I smiled wryly and said somewhat sadly, "It's Xiao Wei who came to find me." After that, I silently let out a sigh.

  "What? Huang Weiwei came looking for you? What did she say to you?" Liu Ke seemed extremely surprised, staring at me with a shocked expression.

  I turned to look at Liu Ke with a curious expression and said, "I'm also unclear, she speaks mysteriously, I don't know what she wants to express, it seems like you've had some kind of encounter or misunderstanding with her? I just remember that there's this person, but the specifics I really can't recall!"

  Liu Ke seemed to feel a bit out of place, and he hurriedly coughed awkwardly, laughing as he said to me: "Hehe, actually nothing happened between me and Huang Weiwei, she just used to pursue me, but I didn't like her, don't get the wrong idea!" Liu Ke once again showed off his sunny smile at me.

  I couldn't help but gaze at Liu Ke's smile, feeling it was quite pleasant to look at. I glanced at him a few more times, then turned back to him and said, "So it was you who got me into this trouble, huh? You've gotten me misunderstood by everyone!"

  "I didn't know she would come looking for you either. Did she say anything?" Liu Ke looked at me with a somewhat tense expression.

  He really looks nervous.

  I looked at Liu Ke's tense eyes and suddenly felt a little strange, thinking that Huang Weiwei and Liu Ke must have had something happen between them. I suddenly wanted to know what exactly happened between the two of them, why Liu Ke just smiled it off.

  "She firmly believed that her father, Principal Huang, was murdered. I also told her everything Principal Huang said to me in my dream. She left with a heavy heart. Liu Ke, you and Huang Weiwei are friends, why don't you go and comfort her, let her be more open-minded, don't always sink into the sorrow of the past."

  "Really?" Liu Ke heard what I said and suddenly seemed to be stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what to think.

  After a while, Liu Ke suddenly continued to say: "Okay, I'll go and persuade Huang Weiwei for you. Hehe, just as an ordinary friend's identity to persuade her, I have no relationship with her at all!" Liu Ke seemed to be trying very hard to prove this point, which made me feel very puzzled.

  After class, Liu Ke left first. He went to find Huang Weiwei to persuade her to be more open-minded. On my way back, I suddenly ran into someone - it was Chen Xian 'Lou'. His back was facing me and he was walking slowly. I was about ten meters behind him.

  At first, I saw that person was Chen Xiang 'Lou', and my heart was very unhappy. However, subconsciously, I looked at the back of Chen Xiang 'Lou' and suddenly felt a kind of inexplicable familiarity, my heart slightly shook.

  I watched as Chen Xiang 'Lu' walked away, about to head down a different path, when I suddenly found the courage to call out to him: "Hey," my words made Chen Xiang 'Lu's body seem to tremble for a moment, and he stopped in his tracks.

  Chenyan 'Lu' paused for two or three seconds, then suddenly turned around and stared at me, her eyes filled with excited gaze. She quickly ran to my front, her face hotly looking at me and said: "Mimi, Mimi. You remembered me! You finally remembered me! I knew it, our good relationship, how could it be easily destroyed by someone!"

  I looked at Chen Xian's 'leaked' expression, which was genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart. I was very puzzled in my heart: "Really convinced by him, just this acting skill is really amazing, could it be that I had a good relationship with him before, and he would have this performance? What Huang Yanyan said was true?" My heart trembled slightly.

  "Don't be so disgusting, okay? Don't call me with that disgusting tone. And let me tell you, don't think too much, I haven't thought of you at all. I'm looking for you because there's something I need to ask you!" I took a deep breath and said to Chen Xianyu.

  Chen Yan's excited smile suddenly froze, and then she looked bitter and smiled: "Alright, let's find a place to sit down and talk."

  I don't know why, but when I see Chen Xian's bitter smile, I inexplicably feel a pang of discomfort in my heart, as if I really don't want to see him like that. I covered up the discontent in my heart and hummed: "Whatever!"

  I followed Chenyan 'Lu' to the school's cafe, this cafe can be considered one of the most upscale in the school. I think it was also my first time coming to this cafe, curiously looking around inside, I found that some people here seem to have a lot of style, handsome men and beautiful women.

  I glared at Chenyan 'Lu' with a mixture of shame and anger, saying: "Why did you bring me here? This is a couples' restaurant!" I turned around in indignation, ready to leave.

  Chenyan 'Lu' suddenly grabbed my arm and said anxiously: "Mimi, don't be in a hurry, I just want to see if you can remember, we used to come here often before, if you don't like it then forget it, I didn't mean anything else!"

  Chen Yan 'Lu' looked at me with great anxiety, grasping my hand and I felt a faint sweat on her palm.

  "Wasn't this where we used to come?" I sat back in my previous seat with some doubt, then took a glance at Chen Xianluo, finding him staring at me with a silly expression, his eyes full of sincerity. Subconsciously, I felt that he wasn't lying.

  "Of course, we come here often, and I often make some small jokes with you, haha!" Chenyan 'Lu' looked at me with a very happy smile, but that smile made me quite afraid to look directly at her, even feeling disgusted.

  I remembered the purpose of finding Chenyan 'Lu' this time, and suddenly hummed a sound. Disdainfully to Chenyan 'Lu', I said: "Don't randomly cling to relationships, I'm sure we've never had anything to do with each other, although there are many rumors. Anyway, let's get back on track. I want to ask you, what exactly happened between Liu Ke and Huang Weiwei? What is their relationship?"

  I slightly raised an eyebrow, looking at Chen Xian "Lu" with a hint of curiosity. At this moment, I saw Chen Xian "Lu" eating with a dejected expression, her face scrunched up in distress, and her head hung low, as if she was extremely disheartened. I found it quite amusing and felt a sense of relief, although I couldn't explain why I felt that way.

  "Oh, you were asking about Liu Ke's rumored 'girlfriend' topic, huh? That guy hums, you wouldn't like Liu Ke, would you?" Chen Xuan said, suddenly looking at me with wide eyes and a very anxious expression.

  After hearing what Chenyan 'Lu' said, I suddenly froze for a moment and then hummed and said: "I like who has anything to do with you, if you don't want to say it, forget it!" After hearing what Chenyan 'Lu' said, I suddenly thought strangely in my heart: "It turns out that Liu Ke and Huang Weiwei, the school flower, have a scandalous relationship!"

  "I said, isn't it enough? Honestly, you didn't used to have such a big temper before. Recently, you've lost your memory and become so reckless!" Chen Xuan 'Lu' muttered under her breath, which I happened to overhear.

  I glared at him, about to shout in anger, when Chen Xian 'Lu' hastily continued to say: "Hehe, don't be angry, Mimi, I'm telling you, Huang Weiwei and Liu Ke are not just rumored lovers, but real ones. It's just that recently, since the principal died, Liu Ke seems to have changed his mind!"

  I suddenly widened my eyes, staring at Chenyan 'Lu' in utter disbelief, yet I stared at Chenyan 'Lu' for a long time without detecting any signs of him lying.

  Chen Xuan's face turned red as she said, "Last time I saw Liu Ke and Huang Weiwei kissing in this restaurant, didn't you forget?" Chen Xuan said with a strange expression.

  I was stunned again, because I had no memory of what Chen Xuan 'Lu' said. At first, I thought Chen Xuan 'Lu' was talking nonsense again, but based on my initial impression of detective psychology, Chen Xuan 'Lu' didn't seem to be lying, but rather telling a true story, which made me even more puzzled and confused.

  "Mimi, why did you suddenly mention Liu Ke and Huang Weiwei? Did something happen?" Chen Xuan 'Lu' suddenly looked at me anxiously and said.

  After hearing Chen Xian's inquiry, I subconsciously said: "This morning, I met Huang Weiwei and she told me some inexplicable things. Now that you mention it, it really is the case that Liu Ke had a misunderstanding with Huang Weiwei, and their relationship seems to be bad!"

  Chen Xuan's eyes widened suddenly and she said directly: "Then what did you say to Huang Weiwei, and what did you say to Liu Ke?"

  I suddenly saw Chenyan 'Lu' looking very anxious, and my heart became a little wary. I looked at Chenyan 'Lu' and said: "Who are you? Why should I tell you? Humph! I'm leaving!" After that, I didn't want to give Chenyan 'Lu' another chance, so I stood up and left.

  Whenever I think of Chen Xiang 'Lu' eating a humble meal in my heart, my mood suddenly feels very pleasant. Because I always feel that Chen Xiang 'Lu' always gives me a high and mighty feeling, I just like the feeling of watching him eat humbly.

  "Hey, hey, Mimi, don't go! Tell me, this is very important! Hurry up and tell me!" Chen Xuan 'Lu' paid the money in a fluster and chased after me, grabbing onto me as she spoke.

  "Let go! I don't know you, don't be so casual with me!" I glared at Chenyan 'Lu' angrily.

  Chenyan 'Lu' smiled wryly and let go of my hand, looking at me with a helpless expression. I looked at Chenyan 'Lu's' face, but still didn't plan to tell him anything. At this time, Chenyan 'Lu' continued: "Mimi, you must tell me, otherwise Huang Weiwei will be in danger."

  I stared at Chenyan 'Lu' in shock and said with a stunned expression: "Don't talk nonsense, okay?"
