Chapter 228: Don’t Contact Me Later (Please Read~)
The two of them were eating happily.

Suddenly, a slightly abrupt voice broke the warm and comfortable atmosphere.

"Xiaoxi, it's really you. I saw you outside just now and I thought I had the wrong person."

Chen Chen, who was having a pleasant conversation with Lin Muxi, raised his head subconsciously when he heard the voice, and saw a boy walking towards their table with a smile on his face.

At first glance, this boy and Lin Muxi seem to be very familiar with each other.

Chen Chen turned his gaze to Lin Muxi inconspicuously, but was surprised to find that the temperature in her eyes suddenly dropped, and her face no longer had the shy and lovely look just now, but was replaced by a cold expression.

Noticing this change, Chen Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little amused.

It seems that he is another self-indulgent person.

He wanted to see how this boy would respond.

The boy seemed not to notice the coldness on Lin Muxi's face. He walked straight to the table, pulled out a chair next to him and sat down, saying carelessly:
"Xiaoxi, you want to eat hot pot, why don't you contact me to bring you over?"

Lin Muxi glanced at him coldly, and said in a stiff tone: "Why should I contact you to bring me here?"

This straightforward response made the scene a little awkward for a moment. The boy was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly twice in an attempt to ease the atmosphere:

"Hey, don't be so cold to me."

Chen Chen watched the scene with great interest, and praised the boy's bravery in his heart.

Of course, it’s just a like.

He looked at the boy who suddenly appeared calmly. He saw that he was dressed exquisitely and there was an indescribable confidence between his eyebrows.

It's the kind of confidence that's determined to win.

After hitting a wall with Lin Muxi, the boy turned his gaze towards Chen Chen, with a hint of scrutiny and hostility in his eyes, and deliberately asked:
"Who is this?"

Before Lin Muxi could speak, Chen Chen politely extended his hand and introduced himself with a smile:

"Hello, my name is Chen Chen, and I'm Xiaoxi's boyfriend."

The boy reluctantly stretched out his hand and shook it gently, then deliberately said:

"Oh, hello, my name is Yan Zihao, and I'm Xiaoxi's high school classmate and neighbor. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts."

Chen Chen immediately understood.

This person is the one that Lu Zihan and the others met before...his childhood sweetheart.

Lin Muxi frowned, feeling annoyed by the boy's familiarity, and said bluntly:
"Yan Zihao, if you have nothing else, please leave first. We are having dinner."

Yan Zihao seemed not to hear it. He picked up the menu on the table and looked through it, muttering:

"I'm hungry too. I've never been to this restaurant before. What do you think of the food? If you don't mind, you can add me in."

Chen Chen looked at Lin Muxi's somewhat irritated expression, and he already knew in his heart that she didn't want to have too much entanglement with this boy.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Yan Zihao with just the right smile:

"Unfortunately, these are all for the two of us. I'm afraid there isn't enough for one more person. Why don't you go to another table?"

This statement may seem euphemistic, but it is a clear order to expel the guest.

Yan Zihao's expression changed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it.

Before he could speak, Lin Muxi continued, "That's right. We want to eat by ourselves and don't like to have outsiders."

"Junior Zihao doesn't want to be a third wheel, right?" the two of them sang in unison.

Yan Zihao's expression changed, and he said in a bad tone:
"Xiaoxi, I'm leaving now. We'll contact each other later."

Lin Muxi didn't even glance at him. "I didn't contact you anymore. I didn't want my boyfriend to misunderstand our relationship."

Yan Zihao not only did not get what he wanted, but was also humiliated in public. He could not stay any longer and got up and left.

After Yan Zihao left, Lin Muxi seemed to be relieved, and a trace of tired apology reappeared on his face. He looked at Chen Chen and said:
"Senior, I don't know him well. He's the one who keeps pestering me."

She frowned slightly, her tone full of annoyance: "I didn't know I would run into him here. If I had known earlier, I would definitely not have chosen to come here."

I never realized how annoying he was before.

Ever since she got a senior, this guy seemed to have taken some medicine and would appear in front of her from time to time.

If you don’t know, you might think he is her boyfriend and he came to catch her cheating.

That's enough.

Chen Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, nodded gently, and said comfortingly:
"What's the big deal? I run into high school classmates too. You didn't take it to heart then, did you? "

After hearing what Chen Chen said, Lin Muxi felt a little warm in her heart, but she still said with some worry:
"That's true, but I'm afraid his appearance just now has affected our mood for dinner. Senior, do you really not mind?"

Her eyes were fixed on Chen Chen, as if she wanted to find the answer from his eyes.

Looking at Lin Muxi's nervous and concerned look, Chen Chen couldn't help but reached out and gently rubbed her head, saying softly:

"I really don't mind. Don't take it to heart and affect your mood. Let's continue to eat hot pot happily."

As he spoke, he used the serving chopsticks to pick up another piece of tripe that Lin Muxi loved and put it in her bowl.

Seeing Chen Chen being so considerate, Lin Muxi gradually relaxed and a smile appeared on her lips again.

She picked up the tripe, dipped it lightly in the sauce, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, saying as she ate:

"Senior, you are the best. With you around, all my worries are gone."

Chen Chen smiled and said, "I'm by your side, so of course I have to give you a sense of security. By the way, the shrimp paste is almost cooked, come and try it."

As he spoke, he skillfully scooped out a shrimp paste and placed it in Lin Muxi's bowl.

Lin Muxi ate the shrimp balls and squinted his eyes in satisfaction:

"Mm, delicious. As expected, everything tastes better when I'm with you, senior."

As soon as she said this, her face flushed slightly and she lowered her head embarrassedly.

Chen Chen's heart moved, looking at Lin Muxi's shy look, he said seriously:
"Greedy girl, don't be embarrassed to be with me. In the future, we can eat lots of delicious food together and go to lots of places."

Lin Muxi raised her head, her eyes gleaming with joy, and her gaze met Chen Chen's.

At this moment, the heat from the hot pot rose between the two of them, and the noise around them seemed to have disappeared, leaving only each other's gentle eyes and pounding hearts.

After eating hot pot, Chen Chen and Lin Muxi walked hand in hand on the way home.

The street lights emitted a soft light, stretching their shadows out.

As they walked, Chen Chen suddenly seemed to remember something important. He turned his head slightly to look at Lin Muxi and asked:
"By the way, Xiaoxi, what does your father like? I'm still worried about what gift to prepare when I go to see your father."

Lin Muxi tilted his head and thought for a moment, "My dad has quite a lot of hobbies."

 Thanks to Shijing-AB for the reward!
  Boss, please accept my respects~
