Hearing the noise, Ling Tianyi felt uncomfortable at once. But he tried his best to keep mild-mannered and he asked Xia Xiaoluo where she was.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know how to answer him at all. Her husband went to the party, so she took the opportunity to invite some friends to dinner. But Fang Ruichen and Ouyang Ziqian were the people Ling Tianyi hated most. She would definitely be punished if Ling Tianyi knew that. However, if she kept it secret, Ling Tianyi might also know it because he was so smart. In that case, Xia Xiaoluo would suffer more serious punishment.
“Darling, what are you thinking? Why don’t you answer me?” Ling Tianyi asked softly and tried his best to suppress his anger. He wanted to get one reasonable and honest explanation rather than some pleasant and perfunctory words.
“Ah?” Xia Xiaoluo was scared and she didn’t know what to say at all.
“Baby, just tell me. Are you at home now? Why is it so noisy? Where are you? Are you safe?” Ling Tianyi continued to ask, clenching his fists tightly.
A great number of answers appeared in Xia Xiaoluo’s mind, but she passed them one by one. She couldn’t lie to him, but she couldn’t tell the truth as well. Xia Xiaoluo thought for a while and said, “Darling, I’m not at home but I am in my dormitory! Luo Xixi helped me a lot, so I cooked some dishes to show my gratitude. We are having dinner together with some schoolmates, so it is a little noisy.”
“Who are your schoolmates?” Ling Tianyi frowned, he didn’t want to hear the names of Fang Ruichen or Ouyang Ziqian. What was more, he didn’t hope that there were other boys.
“Um… um… they are all my schoolmates. Just Lv Errou and other people. Nobody evil is here. So don’t worry, darling. I will go home right after dinner. Just focus on your party and I will be OK.” Xia Xiaoluo was in cold sweat. She didn’t lie to him, but she answered indirectly and concealed all the important details.
“OK, be careful, you’d better go home by taxi instead of taking a bus. Pay attention to the license plate number and send it to me.” Ling Tianyi accepted the explanation reluctantly, he was still worried about her.
“Okay, darling, I will send a message to you at that time. Darling, I will return to the dinner, so shall we stop here?” Obviously, Xia Xiaoluo wanted to hang up, but she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would get angry if she said goodbye directly, so she just asked tentatively.
“Well, I will go back to the party as well. That’s all and I will meet you at home tonight!” Ling Tianyi was a little annoyed because Xia Xiaoluo wanted to hang up first. However, he controlled his temper well and kept being mild-mannered all the time.
Xia Xiaoluo said delightedly at once, “Okay, bye, darling! By the way, if you want to drive home, don’t drink any wine!”
“I have a driver, so don’t worry. I pay more attention to safety than you do.” Ling Tianyi relaxed and smiled slightly because his sweetheart cared about him before hanging up.
Xia Xiaoluo hung up and wiped the sweat on her forehead. When she entered the dormitory from the balcony, the drinks were delivered by the cold drink shop “Kubinglun”. All her friends were sitting around the table, waiting for her to start.
“Xiaoluo, you kept talking on the phone secretly. Were you flirting with your boyfriend?” Xiao Man made Xia Xiaoluo sit beside her and began to make a joke on her.
“No, someone called me to ask something. Well, I’m sorry to keep you all waiting. Let’s start!” Xia Xiaoluo answered casually because she didn’t want to become the topic for fear that she would make mistakes.
“Nice! Let’s have a drink to thank Xiaoluo for cooking these dishes for us!” Ouyang Ziqian stood up and said. And then everyone stood up, because nobody would refuse his prince charming.
“Come on! Have a try!” Xia Xiaoluo, the host of the dinner, greeted her friends.
“That’s right! Come and try the dishes cooked by my Xiaoluo!” Luo Xixi took the opportunity to make some ambiguities and misunderstandings.
They all praised Xia Xiaoluo after tasting the dishes. But only Fang Ruichen was different, he pointed at the Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish and said, “It’s so awful, and I have never eaten anything so awful!”
“Don’t eat it if it is awful! I didn’t invite you, but it was you who insisted to come just now.” Xia Xiaoluo said and took the Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish to Luo Xixi, “Xixi, you always eat unhealthy instant noodles. Have some fish and you will like it!”
Luo Xixi picked up much and tasted carefully, “That’s right. I like it! The dishes that Xiaoluo cooked are so delicious!”
“Hum!” Although Lv Errou thought that it was delicious indeed, she felt annoyed when hearing Luo Xixi’s praise. What was more, Luo Xixi called Xia Xiaoluo so intimately.
“It’s really nice. I saw how Xiaoluo cooked just now and she looked like an outstanding chef!” Ouyang Ziqian flattered.
“Yes, Xiaoluo cooks better than the chef in a five-star hotel does! I always eat vegetable dishes, this dish of Fried Bamboo Shoots is so delicious!” Xiao Man praised Xia Xiaoluo as well, because Ouyang Ziqian praised Xia Xiaoluo and she would always agree with Ouyang Ziqian.
“Thank you, everyone!” Xia Xiaoluo felt delighted. She loved cooking and she became happier when her friends liked her dishes.
“The man with whom Xiaoluo will get married must be so lucky! Xiaoluo, your boyfriend must love your dishes very much, right?” Xiao Man asked about Xia Xiaoluo’s emotional life again. She did it casually but she really wanted to know whether Ouyang Ziqian would give up if he knew that Xia Xiaoluo had a boyfriend.
“Yeah. Xia Xiaoluo, do you have a boyfriend on earth? You are stupid like a pig, so the boy who likes you must be stupid as well.” Fang Ruichen asked directly. However, he didn’t know his mind clearly. On the one hand, he seemed to like Xia Xiaoluo; on the other hand, he thought that the boy who liked Xia Xiaoluo must be stupid.
Xia Xiaoluo’s emotional life became the topic suddenly and she didn’t know how to deal with it. Because she had already married a business man, so how could she regard him as her boyfriend?
Fang Ruichen and Ouyang Ziqian looked forward to Xia Xiaoluo’s answer. Lv Errou who liked girls was more nervous, being afraid that Xia Xiaoluo liked Luo Xixi as well.
“Fang Ruichen! It’s none of your business! Why do you care about it so much?” Xia Xiaoluo said and glared at him, she was a little angry. Although Xiao Man talked about it first, Fang Ruichen was the last one to ask this question. It was not proper for her to refuse Xiao Man, so she got angry with Fang Ruichen deliberately.
Fang Ruichen was about to get angry and Luo Xixi who was eating all the time said suddenly, “Whether Xiaoluo has a boyfriend is not important and the truth is that she has a girlfriend now. It’ me. You know it, right? Are you satisfied with this answer?”
“Xixi!” Xia Xiaoluo thought that Luo Xixi was in the scene. She hoped that Luo Xixi could get rid of Lv Errou and the gossips about her would collapse gradually. She just wanted to leave some misconception but she never thought of admitting her relation with Luo Xixi in public. What was more, they were just acting!
“Xiaoluo, it doesn’t matter if everybody knows it.” Luo Xixi kept on acting and Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t stop her.
Everyone was shocked. Although things didn’t go on as Xiao Man had expected, she was satisfied because a lesbian would not scramble over a man with her. They were not rivals in love anymore. Xiao Man will not embarrass Xia Xiaoluo, so she started to smooth things over, “Ah, there is nothing special. We are all young, so please don’t be so conservative!”
“Let’s go on with these dishes!” Xiao Man pointed at all the dishes and helped Xia Xiaoluo to greet the guests.
Everyone was so awkward and Ouyang Ziqian who liked Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know what to say at all. Although Fang Ruichen knew it, he still couldn’t accept it because Luo Xixi said it in such a straight way.
However, it shocked Lv Errou most, because she has loved Luo Xixi for a long time and she wrote a love letter to her.
Lv Errou who was always taciturn and mild-mannered suddenly grasped a beer bottle and hit it on the table severely. Then, with a piece of glass in her hand, Lv Errou shouted to Xia Xiaoluo, “Xia Xiaoluo, I want to fight with you!”
Lv Errou intended to stab Xia Xiaoluo at once and Xia Xiaoluo’s chin was injured because she couldn’t avoid in time. And then, Xia Xiaoluo fell over.
Other people finally realized what happened and Ouyang Ziqian hurried to protect Xia Xiaoluo. Fang Ruichen grasped Lv Errou’s twist directly.
“Xiaoluo, are you OK?” Luo Xixi who was in the scene also rushed to Xia Xiaoluo and wiped her chin with a tissue.
“I am heartbreaking!” Luo Xixi seemed to keep acting.
Xia Xiaoluo was anxious for fear that it would stimulate Lv Errou. If she continued to go mad, Xia Xiaoluo or Lv Errou would definitely get hurt. Xia Xiaoluo said to Luo Xixi, “Xixi, stop it.”
