Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1494 The Childhood Sweetheart's Self-Doubt!

Because of An Shishi's words, the atmosphere inside the car instantly plummeted to freezing point.

An Shishi also realized that she had said the wrong thing.

She quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Xiao Youran is no longer the person she used to be.

She's much more magnanimous now.

She said casually, "It's nothing."

With that remark, the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.

Xu Xiuwen pondered for a second, then asked again, "You Ran, are you really not planning to make up with Si Yu?"

Actually, his question was very inappropriate, even more so than An Shishi's.

Therefore, both Xiao Youran and An Shishi were quite surprised.

But upon closer reflection, it seems to make sense.

After all, Song Siyu was also his woman.

If Xu Xiuwen ignores the conflict between Xiao Youran and Song Siyu, then he is a real scumbag!
Xiao Youran remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly considering how to answer.

She slowly said, "She betrayed our friendship first, so this time, no matter what, I will not contact her first!"

Xiao Youran was most angry because Song Siyu had agreed to Cheng Lu's joining behind her back.

Regardless of the interpretation, this is a major betrayal.

Given that Song Siyu had behaved similarly before, Xiao Youran felt that if she easily forgave Song Siyu this time, it would only embolden the other party.

Song Siyu will continue to betray her in the future.

However, upon closer examination, it's not hard to discern that Xiao Youran's seemingly resolute words actually left room for maneuver.

She would never take the initiative to apologize, but if Song Siyu was willing to apologize and ask for her forgiveness.

Given their previous close relationship, Xiao Youran is very likely to forgive her.

The reason she said it in front of Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi was...

Firstly, to express her stance; secondly, to have the two people relay her words to Song Siyu.

If the other party realizes their mistake, they should take the initiative to apologize to her!

of course.

After this incident, it will be difficult for Xiao Youran and Song Siyu to return to the same relationship as before.

It may seem like things can return to normal on the surface, but the trust can never be restored.

In the girl's view, perhaps it was a mistake to ask Song Siyu to be her 'helper' in the first place.

Perhaps she should have approached Cheng Lu from the very beginning.

Aside from relationship issues, she and Cheng Lu didn't have many conflicts.

Since she could share Xiao Xu with Song Siyu, now that I think about it, why couldn't she share him with Cheng Lu?

If Song Siyu's position were replaced by Cheng Lu.

She couldn't imagine who else could take Xiao Xu away from them.

Absolutely impossible!

Closer to home.

Xu Xiuwen sighed and said, "Siyu really did something wrong this time, and I understand why you're angry..."

He said this not because he genuinely thought Song Siyu was wrong.

At least Song Siyu's actions were advantageous to him.

Xiao Youran and Song Siyu should not fall out, but they also shouldn't be too united, otherwise they would have too much of an advantage if they joined forces to deal with others.

As the saying goes, one monk has water to drink, two monks carry water together, but three monks have no water to drink.

Xiao Youran, Song Siyu, and then Cheng Lu.

A unique balance will be formed among the three of them.

If either party has the idea of ​​monopolizing Xu Xiuwen, they will be met with joint resistance from the other two, so the success rate is naturally not high.

If Xu Xiuwen could think of this, Xiao Youran and An Shishi certainly couldn't have been unaware of it either.

An Shishi won't undermine Xu Xiuwen.

But Xiao Youran is different.

She brought things up directly.

The girl snorted and said, "You don't need to comfort me. You're probably secretly happy about what Siyu did!"

Even if Xu Xiuwen was secretly pleased, he couldn't admit it.

He immediately shook his head in denial: "How could that be? This shows extreme distrust of me and a questioning of my character..."

It would have been better if he hadn't said the second half of his sentence. After he finished speaking, An Shishi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Pfft~"

An Shishi realized that her laughter was too abrupt, and quickly said softly, "Excuse me, please continue."

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

Xiao Youran also found Xu Xiuwen's words very interesting.

Does his character even need to be questioned?

Doesn't that mean it doesn't exist at all?

Xiao Youran said bluntly, "Do you dare say you don't want to get back together with Cheng Lu?"

Xu Xiuwen has guts, but he's not stubborn.

He wouldn't admit at this point that he wanted to get back together with Cheng Lu.

Xu Xiuwen immediately shook his head and said, "I don't want to!"

He thought that if he said that, Xiao Youran would have no way to cope.

As a result, Xiao Youran directly pulled a stunt from the start.

She said, "Then I'll call Cheng Lu now, put it on speakerphone, and you say it again!"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

"Why don't you speak?"

"For your safety, I need to concentrate on driving!"

An Shishi chuckled again.

Xiao Youran's expression was also not very good.

Xu Xiuwen felt that An Shishi was simply causing him trouble.

He glared at An Shishi through the rearview mirror.

An Shishi gave her a look that said, "Why are you blaming me?"

Xu Xiuwen was helpless.

He then remained silent.

Because continuing to talk about it will only lead to more mistakes.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Xiuwen drove up to An Shishi's apartment building.

Since Xu Xiuwen frequented this place and was very familiar with the route, he naturally wouldn't ask An Shishi for directions.

The latter also overlooked this point and did not provide directions.

This led to Xiao Youran asking a soul-searching question as soon as the car stopped.

"Xiao Xu, how did you know Shishi lives here?"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

An Shishi: "..."

An Shishi reacted faster and immediately explained, "You Ran, you forgot? He drove me around before."

Xiao Youran frowned. "Really? I don't remember."

An Shishi said, "Maybe you forgot."

"Maybe." Xiao Youran didn't pursue the matter further.

Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

He cast a grateful glance at An Shishi through the rearview mirror.

"You guys get out of the car first, I'll park it."

"Okay." x2
The two women then got out of the car and walked towards the apartment building.

As Xiao Youran looked around, she said to An Shishi, "The environment in this neighborhood is quite nice."

An Shishi nodded in agreement, "Yes, and the transportation is quite convenient, so living here is quite worry-free."

Xiao Youran asked again, "You're not going back to your hometown anymore?"

An Shishi said, "There's no need to go back..."

She clearly didn't want to delve too deeply into this topic, her expression revealing resistance.

After noticing this, Xiao Youran stopped asking questions.

After the two women entered the elevator, Xu Xiuwen arrived late.

The three of them soon arrived at An Shishi's house.

This time, Xu Xiuwen wasn't foolish enough to take out his key to open the door.

An Shishi took out her keys from her pocket and went to open the door.

This scene caught Xiao Youran's attention.

After the door opened, An Shishi smiled and said, "You Ran, come in quickly."

Xiao Youran stood still.

Her eyes were fixed on the key in An Shishi's hand.

An Shishi felt a slight panic after noticing this.

She instinctively tried to hide the keys in her hand. But she realized what she was doing halfway through.

Doing so would make you seem too guilty.

She then exposed the key back to Xiao Youran's sight.

Xiao Youran stared at the key for a long time.

Xu Xiuwen also realized that something was wrong.

He asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Youran said softly, "This key... looks a bit like the one you have, Xiao Xu..."

Although she didn't express her doubts directly, it was obvious enough.

Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi were both stunned.

An Shishi panicked for a moment.

Xu Xiuwen has a key to her house.

Xiao Youran has now discovered that the two keys look very similar.

What should she do?
Deny it or pretend you didn't hear it?

Xu Xiuwen quickly came to his senses.

He was much calmer.

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "You Ran, don't all keys look pretty much the same?"

He tried to gloss over the topic in a dismissive tone.

However, his skillful driving to An Shishi's apartment building had already aroused Xiao Youran's suspicion.

The girl wasn't so easily fooled at this moment.

She said firmly, "Xiao Xu, could you give me your keys?"

"You Ran?" Xu Xiuwen asked, puzzled.

An Shishi then asked, "You Ran, you don't suspect he has a key to my front door, do you? How could that be?"

She appeared calm on the surface, but was actually very flustered.

Xiao Youran ignored An Shishi and looked into Xu Xiuwen's eyes, asking, "Xiao Xu, I want to take a look."

An Shishi thought to herself: I absolutely can't give it to them! Otherwise, I'll be exposed!
However, Xu Xiuwen seemed not to hear her thoughts.

He said, "Okay, I'll show it to you now."

Xu Xiuwen pulled the keychain directly from his pocket and turned the pocket inside out to prove that he hadn't hidden the keys in his pocket.

Holding the keychain, Xiao Youran looked at An Shishi again.

An Shishi had no choice but to hand over the key to her.

Xiao Youran then began a careful comparison.

After comparing them, she found that two of the keys were quite similar to the one in An Shishi's hand.

She immediately looked at Xu Xiuwen, waiting for an explanation.

Xu Xiuwen said helplessly, "Don't all these door keys look like this?"

Xiao Youran believed that Xu Xiuwen's final excuse was a sophistry.

She said to An Shishi, "Shishi, could you move aside?"

An Shishi stopped in her tracks. "You Ran, do you really have to do this?"

Xiao Youran was taken aback, then asked, "How am I?"

An Shishi said, "You're being too paranoid. I know you've started to distrust others because of Siyu, but you should trust me..."

Xiao Youran fell silent.

After a moment, she said, "If I'm mistaken, I apologize, but I need to find out the truth! Shishi, if you still consider me a sister, then step aside!"

Seeing that Xiao Youran had already said so much, she had no choice but to step aside.

There was actually another reason why she was willing to step aside.

That is, Xu Xiuwen, who is standing behind Xiao Youran, looks extremely calm.

He seemed completely unconcerned.

Seeing this, An Shishi felt relieved.

She believed that Xu Xiuwen was not putting on an act!

After An Shishi stepped aside, Xiao Youran immediately inserted the two keys she had chosen into the lock in turn.

First attempt, failed!

Xiao Youran paused for a moment, then tried the second key.

The second attempt also failed!

Xiao Youran was completely stunned.

Is she really overthinking things?

An Shishi and Xu Xiuwen's relationship is not the kind she was worried about.
Seeing this, An Shishi breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xiuwen, on the other hand, was quite calm, as if all of this was within his expectations.

Let's rewind a few minutes.

When Xu Xiuwen drove the car to An Shishi's building, he immediately guessed the situation when faced with Xiao Youran's question.

Then, under the pretext of parking, he secretly took the key to An Shishi's front door and hid it.

Then he pretended not to know anything, caught up with the girls, and they all took the elevator up together.

When Xiao Youran asked to check the keys, Xu Xiuwen felt somewhat helpless, but not worried.

Time returns to the present.

Xiao Youran originally thought she had grasped the truth, but it turned out to be her imagination.

Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi have absolutely no relationship like that.

Actually, it makes a lot of sense when you think about it carefully.

An Shishi has a history of disgraceful experiences.

Although Xiao Xu is a womanizer, he is extremely possessive and doesn't like others touching his things.

Therefore, it is unlikely that he would get involved with An Shishi.

Xiao Youran had always known this, but she was still blinded by jealousy just now.

Xiao Youran knew that what she was doing was a big problem.

However, the most urgent task is not to reflect on the situation, but to apologize and obtain forgiveness from Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Youran immediately turned around and said, "Shishi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."

An Shishi had strange thoughts in response to Xiao Youran's apology.

Logically speaking, she did indeed do something to wrong Xiao Youran.

The latter's suspicion is also correct.

But now it's Xiao Youran who's apologizing.

Doesn't this sound absurd?

An Shishi would naturally not use this to manipulate Xiao Youran.

She generously expressed her understanding, saying, "You Ran, I'm not angry, and you don't need to apologize. I can understand everything you did. If anyone is to blame, it's someone who's too fickle!"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

An Shishi still needs to put him down a bit at this time!
Xu Xiuwen thought to himself: I'll show you why the flowers are so red later.

Xiao Youran turned to Xu Xiuwen and said, "Xiao Xu, I shouldn't have doubted you. I... I don't know why this happened..."

Seeing the self-blame on his girlfriend's face, Xu Xiuwen said nothing. He simply stepped forward and pulled the girl into his arms.

"Blame me!"

Xiao Youran said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I'm really not suited to be a girlfriend!"

Neither Xu Xiuwen nor An Shishi expected that such a small incident would cause Xiao Youran to begin to doubt her suitability as Xu Xiuwen's official girlfriend.

You should know that no matter what happened before, she firmly believed that she was the most suitable person for Xu Xiuwen.

This change was something neither of them had anticipated.

Xu Xiuwen was worried that Xiao Youran would go to another extreme, so he quickly said, "Youran, don't think nonsense. You've done very well. Even if it were someone else, they wouldn't have done better than you."

"Really?" Xiao Youran asked, her eyes filled with confusion.

Just now, she really felt that she had done a terrible job!
“Really!” Xu Xiuwen said firmly.

His words finally made the girl feel a little better.

Xiao Youran forced a smile and said, "I'm fine now, you don't need to worry about me."

"Yeah." x2
Although they agreed verbally, they were both still worried about Xiao Youran.

An Shishi said, "Let's go inside first."

"Okay." x2
After entering the house, An Shishi went straight to the kitchen and poured a cup of hot water for Xiao Youran and Xu Xiuwen.

"Youran, have some water."

"Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite with me?" An Shishi said with a smile, "I'll go wash some fruit for you! I just bought some pears."

"Shishi, there's no need to trouble yourself."

"fine."

An Shishi left again.

Only Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran remained in the living room.

Xu Xiuwen asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Youran hummed in agreement.

Xu Xiuwen smiled wryly, "You Ran, actually I'm not angry at all. If I were you, I would definitely be more suspicious than you..."
