Chapter 033: Marry Me Or Her

  "How was my performance?" An An asked Lu Dongqi and Xia Xixi with a proud face, the little girl got off the stage but still hadn't gotten out of character, with the demeanor of a big movie star.

  "An'an is really amazing!" Dong Qi rubbed his hair and exaggeratedly praised.

  Xi Xi echoed in agreement, "Yes, An An, you performed especially well."

  An An's eyes sparkled as she ignored Xi Xi and rubbed against Dong Qi's side, grabbing his sleeve. "Dong Qi brother, since An An is so amazing, why don't you marry her in the future?"

  Huh?

  "Is it good or not?" The little girl stuck out her tongue and continued to ask seriously.

  "Alright, let's talk about it when An'an grows up." Lu Dongqi reluctantly agreed, and was even forced by An'an to make a promise.

  "Xixi sister, Dong Qi brother proposed to me, did you hear that?" Xixi couldn't help but exclaim, now these kids are too precocious. Little Anan, it turns out you and I have a few similarities, at least our infatuation with Lu Dongqi is the same.

  "He cheated you, he also said that to me when he was a kid." Xi Xi looked at An An's innocent face and thought of teasing her by pretending to be the "bad guy".

  "Brother Dong Qi, are you deceiving me?" An An grasped Brother Dong Qi's sleeve tightly and shook it repeatedly. Her bright eyes stared at him without blinking, fearing that he would change his mind and take back his words.

  "This... of course not, let's wait until Anan grows up and then discuss this matter later, okay?" Dong Qi nodded heavily, comforting Anan while glancing at Xia Xixi, who was making a scene with a child. She just kept her head down, quietly fiddling with the buttons on her coat, completely disregarding his awkward situation.

  "Are you going to marry her or me?" Little An's tears welled up in her eyes, her expression was pitiful and touching, just like Snow White who had been persecuted by the evil queen and was now complaining to the prince.

  "Are you going to marry me or her?" Xi Xi suddenly raised her head and said, seemingly a phrase to argue with An An, but it had been turning over in her mind for hundreds of times, circling around, reaching the tip of her tongue several times, only to be swallowed back.

  Lu Dongqi, does a promise made in childhood still count or not? In your heart, what kind of existence am I?

  Lu Dongqi's eyebrows moved slightly upon hearing this, but he didn't look directly into Xi Xi's eyes. Instead, he affectionately pinched An An's small face: "Didn't brother promise An An already?"

  Although this sentence was just a delaying tactic by Lu Dongqi, it pierced into Xi Xi's heart like a needle, with each word stabbing in and the grievances surging in like a tidal wave, pouring into the deepest part of her heart through the wound. If this isn't rejection, what is? His evasive gaze really chilled people to the bone.

  "I'm going to the restroom." Xixi hastily ran away, she couldn't pretend to sit calmly next to Lù Dōngqí. Although she had long known his thoughts, his attitude was still unexpected when he showed it so clearly in front of her. From childhood to adulthood, they had gone through everything together, but for the first time, he didn't stand on her side, and also pushed her away for the first time.

  An An was just an excuse, he must have wanted to express his attitude for a long time. Fortunately, he didn't explicitly state his intentions, or else the opportunity to guard him would be gone. Xi Xi stood in the cubicle of the bathroom, covering her face, and big silent tears rolled down, with a hundred emotions tangled in her heart.

  Although she didn't want to stay in this situation anymore, she had to pretend that nothing had happened. When she wiped away her tears and came out, she found Dong Qi standing near the exit of the bathroom waiting for her.

  "Hmm..." He seemed to want to say something but stopped, unsure of how to continue the conversation.

  "What's up, want to ask me for toilet paper?" A joke eased the tension, XiXi said with a smile, rummaging through her bag and handing over tissues with a playful face.

  A nonchalant attitude is the easiest to pretend, not looking into his eyes, not picking up his conversation, talking about jokes regardless of what he says, even if rejected, she has to maintain a good posture, she lost her true heart and can't lose her friendship with Dong Qi.

  "It's been so long since I went in, I just came to see if you had fallen in." Dong Qi immediately relaxed and started joking with her as usual.

  "I'm a female ghost who crawled out from inside, and I've already eaten Xia Xi. She asked me to pass on a message to you before she died." The two of them walked while joking around.

  Dong Qi lightly flicked her forehead, pretending to be serious, "Alright, the female ghost has been defeated by my Finger Flicking Technique and her soul has scattered. Xi Xi classmate can come out now."

  "Lu Dongqi, you're so childish." Xi Xi gave him a white eye and sat back in her seat with a look of disgust.

  "...who's more childish after all?" Touki muttered softly as he sat down beside her.

  It just so happened that Chen Yan didn't take the bus and walked home, he didn't expect to run into Xia Xixi, who had stood him up several times, let alone have Lu Dongqi standing next to her.

  She held a little girl's hand and walked ahead, Lu Dongqi carried the bag and followed closely behind them, the three of them chatting and laughing.

  This scene is warm in other people's eyes, but it's cold in his eyes.

  Xia Xi's thoughts, Lu Dongqi seemed to understand but not quite, while Chen Yan was in Gu Xiao's seemingly unintentional ambiguous words, clearly understood in his heart, and suddenly a spark of fire burst out in his heart, unable to tell whether it was jealousy or anger.

  "Xia Xi Xi", he couldn't help but call out to her as she walked away.

  Xixi, who was originally chatting with Anan about Dong Qi's gossip, heard Chen Yan's voice, and suddenly turned her head to see him standing under a huge billboard on the right.

  She couldn't help but burst out laughing when she took a closer look, and on the billboard were written big red characters: Specializing in treating infertility.

  The person standing over there saw her suddenly smile at him, his anger reduced by three points, but he felt that her way of smiling was not quite right. He looked around and found the advertisement board, then walked towards the three people with a displeased expression.
