I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 973: I Just Like You, So What? (Part 2)
"What exactly happened just now?" Ning Xixi asked softly, as Jian Yixue, with reddened eyes, explained the whole situation clearly.
She works part-time at this restaurant outside of class, and today was like any other day. While serving, a male customer made an inappropriate attempt to touch her leg, but Jian Yixue dodged. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
This scene was witnessed by the female customer, who immediately accused Jian Yixue of seducing her boyfriend, and purposely bumped into Jian Yixue, causing the sauce on the plate to spill onto her own skirt, leading to the incident we just saw...
Ning Xixi was furious upon hearing this. That scumbag! She felt an urge to punch him!
Quicker than her thoughts was a powerful punch!
"Bam!"
The sound of fist meeting flesh and the swoosh of air whisked past the ears of the two girls.
"Presi-President?" Ning Xixi and Ji Yebai looked incredulously at the suddenly appearing Yan Yichen, clad in a white shirt and black trousers, with gold-rimmed glasses. His freestyle combat moves were impeccable and drew continuous awed exclamations from the restaurant—
"Wow, so handsome!"
"For the first time, seeing a guy fight is a sight for sore eyes!"
"Oh, oh! Guys with glasses are all the abstinent type... I like, I like!"
"Hey? President, what brings you here?" Ning Xixi tilted her little head, full of curiosity, as a pair of big hands pulled her away.
Ning Xixi mumbled, "Dabai, what are you doing? Hey hey, I can walk on my own!"
Ji Yebai pulled her to a secluded corner, flicked her forehead, "Don’t be a third wheel."
Ning Xixi’s big eyes sparkled, as she clingingly hugged Ji Yebai’s arm, "What do you mean by that?"
"Haven’t you already guessed?" Ji Yebai gave her a sidelong glance, "Yan Yichen is pursuing Jian Yixue, and he’s serious about it."
"Wow! Really? Oh my, I wonder what it’s like when squinty-eyed is serious?" Ning Xixi tiptoed, eagerly looking towards Jian Yixue’s direction.
...
As soon as Yan Yichen appeared, the previously quarreling couple was so intimidated by his presence that they shut their mouths obediently.
"Was it you who asked her to compensate?" Yan Yichen adjusted his glasses, though he didn’t need them for vision; he wore them purely for effect. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed as though his lenses emitted a piercing cold gleam!
"Y-Yes it was me..." The heavily made-up woman lost her previous arrogance and responded meekly like a lamb.
"I’ll compensate for your clothes." Yan Yichen took out a stack of RMB from his wallet, causing the heavily made-up woman’s eyes to light up.
So much money; her clothes were knock-offs, essentially meaning she’s making a profit, huh!
Her smile blossomed like a chrysanthemum as she reached to take the wad of cash, but Yan Yichen raised his hand, and she couldn’t reach it.
"Aren’t you compensating for my clothes?!" The heavily made-up woman said discontentedly, the duck in hand flew away, anyone would be upset!
Yan Yichen smiled, his eyes squinted, brilliance surging beneath—a smile that didn’t reach his eyes; those familiar with him knew it was his calculating mode.
"Miss, before we compensate for your clothes, we need to settle an account."
"What account?" The heavily made-up woman’s coquettish eyes roamed around, calculating how to get more money.
Yan Yichen calmly and clearly stated: "My girlfriend dirtied your clothes, she should compensate. But you injured her, she is priceless to me, Miss, how do you plan to compensate?"
