37: Chapter 37 Liang Xiaoxue Appears Out of the Box

One day, Lin Xiao was eating with Qiu Xiaoyan at a restaurant outside the school.

During this time, Qiu Xiaoyan and Lin Xiao had been meeting more frequently, and her originally slow-to-warm-up nature finally began to thaw.

She had some feelings for Lin Xiao.

Whether it was things from their childhood or the way Lin Xiao had been acting lately, she liked it all.

It was just that Lin Xiao always seemed so clueless.

She felt she had made it very obvious, but Lin Xiao always seemed unable to tell, making some very "straight man" moves that often left her not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

And even though he clearly didn't look like someone with a bad memory, he couldn't remember a single thing from their childhood.

In the restaurant, the food hadn't arrived yet.

Qiu Xiaoyan rested her chin on her hands, quietly watching Lin Xiao.

Today, she was wearing a pale yellow dress with her hair draped over her shoulders, looking a bit more cute amidst her radiant beauty.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Lin Xiao raised his hand and touched his face.

"No, I’m just curious. You, the true Eldest Young Master of the Lin family, seem a bit excessively low-key."

Qiu Xiaoyan chuckled and shifted her gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window beside them.

But upon looking, she noticed a woman with an enchanting face and revealing clothes walking toward them.

Her eyes were fixed on Lin Xiao, and she seemed somewhat excited.

Before Qiu Xiaoyan could ask anything, the woman had already reached the window and tapped lightly on the glass.

Lin Xiao looked over in confusion and found that it was actually Liang Xiaoxue!

He hadn't seen this woman since they parted on bad terms outside the luxury car dealership.

He remembered that Liang Xiaoxue didn't attend their school; why was she here?

Liang Xiaoxue's red lips moved slightly, appearing to say "Wait for me."

Then she went around to the restaurant's main entrance and walked in.

She didn't stand on ceremony, plopping herself down right next to Lin Xiao.

The seats here were all sofa booths.

Liang Xiaoxue was clearly doing it on purpose, sitting very close to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly and moved to the other side, keeping as much distance from this woman as possible.

He didn't quite understand what Liang Xiaoxue was up to.

"Lin Xiao, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here."

Liang Xiaoxue spoke with a bright smile, as if she couldn't see the displeasure in Lin Xiao's eyes.

Her tone was like that of an old friend she’d just happened upon; there wasn't a hint of estrangement.

Qiu Xiaoyan almost instinctively felt a sense of disgust toward this strange woman.

Whether it was the overly intimate behavior or the sexy outfit, she disliked it all.

But not knowing the relationship between this person and Lin Xiao, she didn't say much.

"Liang Xiaoxue, is there something you want?"

Lin Xiao's expression was very cold.

The heavy scent of perfume on Liang Xiaoxue made his nose feel uncomfortable.

But Liang Xiaoxue just affectedly brushed her hair back, leaned closer to Lin Xiao, and said coquettishly, "Lin Xiao, we were classmates after all. It’s a rare chance to meet on the street, why are you being so cold!"

As she spoke, she also playfully stuck out her tongue, her eyes curving into crescents. "Besides, you used to like me so much, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Qiu Xiaoyan couldn't help but widen her eyes.

It felt like ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through her heart...

No way...

The type Lin Xiao liked was actually... this?

Flaming red lips, big wavy hair, and those trembling, surging waves...

Thinking of this, Qiu Xiaoyan almost instinctively looked down at herself.

As a woman, Liang Xiaoxue keenly noticed Qiu Xiaoyan's reaction.

She puffed out her chest a bit more, her eyes full of provocation.

"Wait a second, Liang Xiaoxue."

Lin Xiao suddenly raised his hand, interrupting the two women's silent struggle.

Liang Xiaoxue thought Lin Xiao couldn't resist her temptation and happily turned to give him a wink. "Brother Lin Xiao, what's wrong?"

Normally, any man would be unable to resist being attracted to her.

But in Lin Xiao's eyes, she saw an undisguisable disgust.

"Liang Xiaoxue, if you're here to eat, I can treat you, but please stay a bit further away from me. The smell on you is overpowering."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he even waved his hand in front of his nose.

His voice wasn't small, and the restaurant was very quiet; people at the surrounding tables immediately looked over in confusion.

Some people covered their mouths and snickered, while others whispered.

They all pointed and gestured at Liang Xiaoxue.

Liang Xiaoxue's smile froze on her face.

She had clearly dressed up meticulously today and even specially applied perfume; how could Lin Xiao find her smell offensive?

People who didn't know better would think she hadn't bathed in days and was stinking!

Qiu Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh and solemnly reminded her, "Big sister, has no one ever told you that if you spray too much perfume, it easily starts to stink?"

As she spoke, she also waved her hand with an air of mock seriousness.

Liang Xiaoxue was both ashamed and annoyed, trembling with rage.

But in front of so many people, she couldn't easily lose her temper.

But she wouldn't give up so easily. You see, she had been loitering around the school entrance for several days just to have a "chance encounter" with Lin Xiao.

Having finally met him today, she had to seize the opportunity.

After a moment, she adjusted her expression and called for a waiter to bring another chair.

Then she sat right down in the middle between Qiu Xiaoyan and Lin Xiao.

She even started ordering food as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
