Unexpected Harvest (Three)

  It was a birthday of one of the basketball team members, they cut the cake, opened the wine bottle, and cheered loudly in the private room when suddenly the door was kicked open from outside.

  Everyone looked back in surprise, but saw Du Kuiwei standing pale at the door. After a moment of stunned silence, he smiled and said to the birthday star, "Happy Birthday!"

  A group of people opened their mouths slightly, completely at a loss for what to say.

  In the awkward atmosphere, Xu Zimo stood up with a calm face, put his hand on Du Kewe's shoulder and smiled, "Why so late? Didn't you say you'd call me before coming?"

  As soon as this was said, most people felt a sense of realization. It turned out that Xu Zimo had 89 girlfriends, but as they looked on, they found Du Kewe to be strangely familiar.

  At that time, wasn't she Jiahao's girlfriend?

  No one knew where it came from, but a soft whisper of doubt spread. Everyone turned to look at Li Jiahao's expression, which was calm and collected, with a pair of beautiful eyes slanting towards the two people at the door, unable to discern what emotions lay beneath.

  A chill ran through the private room, and it was a long time before someone finally called out, "Come on, let's have a drink, cheers!" This broke the awkward deadlock.

  Du Kewe sat down and also blended into the atmosphere at the right time. The lights suddenly dimmed, a large flower-shaped candle lit up, layer by layer, like a blooming flower, slowly burning. In the neat birthday song, Xu Zimo lightly touched her elbow, his voice low and clear, "What's going on between you and Jiahao?"

  She turned her head and looked at him, but what came out was something unrelated, "Thanks a lot just now."

  She had no idea what was going on, she was actually the one who was most unclear about everything.

  Staring, Li Jiahao was also lost in thought, his eyes flickering as he turned his head, seemingly sensing her intense gaze. In the flickering candlelight, their eyes met, and the unfamiliar cold air around him suddenly made her fingers feel icy.

  Why?

  It was him who confessed first, wasn't it?

  It was he who first touched her heart, but he irresponsibly said those words and ended up putting her in such an embarrassing situation. Li Jiahao, how can you be so shameless.

  She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and she kept drinking glass after glass of wine, coldly staring at Li Jiahao and Lan Yue who were laughing and joking across from her.

  This scene was even unbearable for Xu Zimo, who half-jokingly teased, "You two should pay attention to your image in public." His gaze was slightly cold.

  Li Jiahao had never accepted Lan Yue before, and even this gathering was only attended because Lan Yue insisted on coming. But when they arrived in front of Du Kewe, Li Jiahao suddenly changed his attitude, and it was obvious to anyone that he was doing it for a reason.

  Xu Zimo was a clever person, knowing that if he didn't stand up at that time, Du Kewe's position would be even more embarrassing. Because almost everyone present knew she was Li Jiahao's girlfriend, and rushing over like this might turn into a big joke. Although he didn't know what had happened between the two of them, in his heart, he indeed blamed Li Jiahao a bit more at that time.

  This set of tricks to annoy people, he had played dozens of times in high school. Li Jiahao, who was already in college, surprisingly still hadn't gotten tired of it. Thinking about this, Xu Zimo couldn't help but smile wryly and silently lament that Du Kewe's days were indeed not easy to pass.

  In that case, he might as well lend a hand then?
