Li Xi shook his head: "No...no."
"Xiao Ai clearly gave you the opportunity to ask her again, but in the end, Rikki, you were speechless?"
At this moment, Xiangzi had a new feeling. Not to mention whether Li Xi would threaten her in the future, it would be difficult for her to confess her feelings to Aine in the current situation.
"I've never been like this before when I was with Aine-chan." Su Shi frowned. She knew that Li Xi had low emotional intelligence, but this kind of behavior was obviously not what she expected.
Deng Guanxin asked, "Lixi, are you too nervous?"
Li Xi lowered her head. She did not deny it. In her opinion, it was because she had low emotional intelligence and could not speak well, and she was too nervous inside that such a hard-earned solitude turned into this.
"Oh, really." Xiangzi shook her head helplessly, but since things had come to this point, she couldn't say much. She could only earnestly advise, "Rikka, you...work harder."
After saying that, Xiangzi pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.
Chapter 354 Rejected?
Xiangzi walked into the ward with a speechless look on his face: "Xiao Ai..."
"Why does Sakki look so unhappy?" Aine tilted her head slightly.
"Oh, don't mention it. We were almost pissed off when we were chatting with Rikki outside just now." Xiangzi sighed and sat down next to Aine. "We locked Rikki in here just now, and then we..."
While telling Aine what had just happened outside, the other people also walked into the ward. As for Li Xi, she followed at the back.
Hearing Xiangzi discussing her affairs, Lixi's shoulders trembled. She looked at Xiangzi as if begging: "Hey, Xiangzi, stop talking."
Hearing this, Xiangzi glanced back at Rikki. She sighed softly and said, "It's okay, Rikki. Sooner or later, you'll get used to it."
"what?"
After Xiangzi finished telling her everything that had just happened outside, Lixi had quietly retreated to the back and leaned against the wall. It seemed that only this could give her a little comfort in this cold ward.
Aine's gaze passed over the others and landed on Riki, who was the last one standing.
In fact, just after Li Xi was pulled outside, because of the quiet environment in the ward, she also heard most of the discussion among several people. She knew that Li Xi had originally wanted to confess his feelings today, but failed because of the operation that was similar to that of a human machine.
Confess...If Rikki really confesses, will I accept it?
Aiyin asked herself this in her heart. She felt that her relationship with Li Xi was far from the point where she could confess her feelings, but... facing such a Li Xi, could she really say no?
Maybe I would politely decline? Or... to consider Rikki's feelings, would I accept?
Aiyin was very confused, but soon she breathed a sigh of relief. However... judging from Rikki's expression, she probably won't mention this matter again recently, right?
Hailing turned around and glanced at Lixi who was leaning against the wall with his head down. She sighed in her heart, what on earth is this guy thinking?
Even if you don't confess, you should at least ask Aine about her attitude, right? You can't be so cowardly in front of the person you like.
Thinking of this, Hailing turned around, met Aine's eyes, and spoke softly, "Aine."
Hailing's sudden words attracted everyone's attention to her.
"Hmm? What's wrong, umirin?"
Without hesitation, Hailing pointed at Lixi who was leaning against the wall: "How do you feel about this guy?"
After Hailing said this, the whole room was as silent as death.
Except for Li Xi, everyone's eyes were focused on Aine's face. No one didn't want to know how Aine felt about Li Xi at this moment.
As for Lixi, she stared at Hailing blankly. Lixi thought that the topic about herself had ended as soon as Xiangzi finished talking about their discussion outside, but she didn't expect that the topic was back to her now.
"My feelings towards Rikki..."
Aine's light words made Li Xi nervous. She turned her gaze to Aine, with expectation and panic in her eyes.
“How should I put it…” Aine lowered her head and thought for a moment before answering, “Actually, I’m still quite surprised that Rikki likes me. After all, I thought we would always be good friends.”
Aiyin's words were very clear, but Li Xi seemed to still have a glimmer of hope: "Then..."
Looking at Rikki's expression, Aine smiled slightly: "Although I know how Rikki feels about me, let's just continue to be friends for now."
This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Li Xi trembled slightly when she heard this. Now, she had to accept the fact that Aine didn't like her, and a wave of sadness rose in her heart.
As expected... I was rejected. Was I just a good friend in Aine's eyes? Perhaps I should have started fighting for her sooner...
Li Xi nodded stiffly: "I...I understand."
After saying that, Li Xi staggered out of the ward.
Looking at Li Xi's back, the others looked puzzled.
Hailing blinked. Although Aine seemed to be rejecting her on the surface, a closer look revealed that Aine just wanted to continue to deepen her relationship with Riki before discussing the confession. As long as Riki spent more time with Aine, Hailing felt that a successful confession would be easy.
But what was this guy going to do right now? Could it be that she didn't understand what Aine meant?
Oh no, with this guy's EQ, he really couldn't react. The way she looked today, could it be that she had become stupid from staying up late?
Thinking of this, Hailing said, "I'll go see her" and left the ward.
Chu Hua sat on Ai Yin's bed, smoothed the quilt for Ai Yin, and smiled softly: "Xiao Ai's words are exactly the same as what she said to me at the beginning."
“I…I don’t want to either.” Aine muttered with a blushing face, “After all…you need me to get more familiar with you. The time we spent together was so short back then, right?”
Chu Hua asked the question in her heart: "Although this is the case, but for Li Xi, haven't you known her for a long time?"
Hearing this, the others also looked at Aine with interest. What Chuhua said was indeed true. Aine had obviously known Lixi for quite a while and they had a good relationship, so why did she still say that?
"Because... in my impression, I treated Rikki as someone I could play around with." Aine lowered her head and thought for a moment before giving a specific word. "You could say I treated her as a close friend, because... that's the personality she gave me."
"After all... carefree and straightforward, right?"
After hearing Aine's explanation, Su Shi and Deng were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and nodded involuntarily. Indeed, they felt that they had also put Riki in such a position - being friends was the best thing.
"That's true." Mu nodded. In her impression, Li Xi has always been like this. "No wonder Aine-chan said that."
"Riki ran away just now. Could it be because of Aine-chan's rejection?" Deng clutched the corner of his clothes. "Is she... very sad now?"
Xiangzi nodded and bit his lower lip: "Indeed, according to Rikki's thinking, she should think that Xiaoai directly rejected her."
"Then..." Deng opened her mouth, but before she could finish, Chuhua spoke softly and comforted them.
"Okay, Xiaoxiang, Xiaodeng, Hailing has already chased after him just now. It's not like you didn't see it."
Xiangzi asked, "But... Hailing isn't sure what Xiaoai really thinks, right?"
"Even if she doesn't know, with Haizi's emotional intelligence, she knows that Aizi is not rejecting Xizi." Miao Meng crossed her arms and looked at Deng who was still worried. "Okay, Dengzi, don't worry. I'll go out and find them."
Chapter 355 Finally A out
After Hailing chased out, Lixi had walked a long distance away.
"This guy is such a worry." Hailing sighed helplessly. What a shame.
Without thinking too much, Hailing rushed out immediately.
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Li Xi turned his head stiffly and happened to meet Hai Ling's eyes, and their eyes met.
Seeing Li Xi looking back, Hai Ling's running speed gradually slowed down, from jogging to walking.
When Hailing walked in front of Lixi, the latter moved his throat and asked, "Hailing? You..."
Hailing didn't intend to answer Lixi. She directly interrupted Lixi's question: "Where are you planning to go?"
"I... I'm going to leave and go home." Li Xi turned her face away. Her voice was very low, as if she was afraid Hailing would hear it.
"What did you say? Go home?" Hailing was choked by Lixi's answer. Although she did think of this excuse, she didn't expect that Lixi really had this idea.
"Why are you going home?" Hailing frowned slightly.
"I... I've been rejected by Aine. Why am I still here instead of going home?" Li Xi lowered her head. When she said this, her hands clenched tightly and her body trembled with excessive emotion.
"Did Aine explicitly reject you?" Hailing grabbed Li Xi's wrist to prevent her from running away.
"Hailing, let me go..." Lixi pulled his arm back, but found that Hailing was very strong. After a few symbolic protests, Lixi stopped resisting and let Hailing hold him. "She...didn't she say that she and I are just good friends? Isn't this a rejection?"
"No, sister, is your idea true or false?" Hailing looked at Lixi in disbelief.
"What's true or false?" Li Xi muttered, "How can this be false?"
"You should stay up less late in the future. You're making your brain stupid." Hailing looked helpless and continued, "Repeat to me what Aine just said."
Li Xi looked reluctant: "Huh? Why?"
For her, asking her to repeat Aine's words would be like rubbing salt into her wounds, so Li Xi naturally resisted.
"Don't worry about it. Just repeat it if you're told to."
Seeing Hailing's unquestionable look, Li Xi was reluctant but still muttered softly: "Although I know how Rikki feels about me, let's continue to be friends for now."
After Li Xi finished repeating what Ai Yin had just said, Li Xi let go of her wrist and leaned against the wall: "Did you find anything?"
"What?" Li Xi blinked. She had just repeated the words mechanically and did not put any energy into it.
“You…” Hailing held her forehead, “Aine said that we should just be friends for now, right?”
"Yes." Li Xi nodded, but his eyes were still full of doubts.
"She was talking about now, she didn't say she wanted to be friends with you in the future."
As she spoke, Hailing subconsciously raised her hand. She really wanted to slap Lixi on the head, but considering the bad influence, she held back.
"Eh?"
After Hailing's hint, Lixi also realized what Aiyin meant. She put her hands on Hailing's shoulders and shook her gently: "So Hailing... does this mean that I still have a chance later?"
"What do you think?" Hai Ling rolled her eyes at Li Xi. "If you hadn't had the chance, Ai Yin wouldn't have acted like that. If she had to say anything, she would have just said that you're a good person, but we're just friends. Do you understand?"
Seeing Li Xi nodding like a chick pecking at rice, Hai Ling let out a long sigh: "Really, I've been so worried about you."
"Sorry, Hailing, if you want anything later, just tell me." Li Xi withdrew his hands and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Well..." Hailing crossed her arms and turned around. "If you really want to show your appreciation, give me a bottle of chocolate jelly."
Looking at Hailing's back, Lixi was a little dazed. She nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The two fell silent, but the silence didn't last long. Miao Meng appeared in front of them, smiling and greeting them: "Haizi, Xizi, are you finished discussing this?"
Hailing's eyes twitched, and she looked at Miao Meng with a disgusted expression: "Did you hear it again?"
"No!" Miao Meng shook her head dissatisfiedly. "By the way, what's that expression on your face?"
"Well, forget it if you didn't." Hailing put away her disgusted expression. "But if you really eavesdropped, I'll have to look at you like this for a month."
"Really?" Miao Meng snorted. "It's just that everyone knows that you came out to explain to Xizi. I saw you two together, so I asked you out."
Hailing nodded slightly to this answer, she had no doubts in her mind.
Li Xi, who was standing by, looked a little embarrassed after hearing this. He didn't expect that everyone understood his thoughts... How embarrassing.
"Then come out..." Hailing looked Miao Meng up and down, then suddenly realized, "I understand. Tell me."
Miao Meng nodded and turned her gaze to Li Xi: "Xizi, Aizi just said that she now regards you as a good friend, or more specifically, a close friend."
"Well, that's because your straightforward and carefree personality gave her that impression. Do you understand?"
"Ruomai, you mean... I want to change my personality?" Li Xi looked confused, "But... I have always been like this."
Miao Meng shook her head slightly: "Aiko doesn't want you to change your personality. Rather, she quite likes your personality."
Hearing this, Li Xi's cheeks flushed unconsciously: "Is... is it?"
"It's just because of your personality that she never thought of you as a couple before." Miao Meng spread her hands helplessly, "Now she knows that you like her, so... you know what to do next, right?"
"Go... chase her?" Li Xi's words were full of uncertainty, but it made Miao Meng and Hai Ling look relieved.
Miao Meng gave a thumbs up: "Yes, her impression of you will gradually change, so just go after Aizi."
Hearing Li Xi's answer, Hai Ling felt a sense of pride in her apprentice having graduated.
"Well, Haizi, it's almost the same as Chuzi's situation back then." Miao Meng didn't say the second half of the sentence - however, with Chuzi's emotional intelligence, there was no need for them to worry at all.
"Indeed." Hailing nodded. "Okay, Hailing, go back. This time, talk it out with Aine. Got it?"
"it is good."
When the three of them returned to the ward, everyone else's eyes fell on Li Xi.
Hailing, who was following behind Lixi, saw that Lixi kept her head down, so she quietly reached out and pushed her out.
Li Xi staggered two steps to the end of Aiyin's bed. She turned around and happened to meet Hai Ling's green eyes.
But this time, there was no other strange emotion in Li Xi's eyes, only gratitude. She nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and looked at Aiyin.
Aiyin was stunned. This was the first time she saw such a determined look on Riki's face today, and it felt a little unfamiliar to her.
