Chapter 3

From the moment she took her seat until she finished the appetizer, she responded to him with her words, yet in her heart, she was thinking of Yan Yu

Afterwards, the two continued to discuss the culinary delights of Beixiu.

Isn't the owner of the Blue Jay Rhinoceros surnamed Ge

Sun Ran looked at her and said, "I am a law-abiding citizen"

Most arrogant individuals often begin with such words

Jing Miyu ultimately contacted Qi Yufeng

Setting aside her thoughts, she turned over and picked up her phone to play.

Fortunately, you are able to manage him; otherwise, I would have to compensate for a year's salary.

I am a legitimate competitor. Moreover, I only exert five points of effort when I take the field, and my opponents are unaware of how much they appreciate players like me

In the midst of the dark willows and bright flowers, there lies another village

Compared to Qi Yufeng, Sun Ran is much cuter. She certainly prefers to approach Yan Yu through him. She liked that photo.

This miser

Jing Mi Yu felt a stir in her heart. "I have heard of it."

Until the waiter served the main course, Qi Yufeng did not speak again

She provocatively stated, "Only my boyfriend can control me"

It is indeed a coincidence that Jing Miyu and Sun Ran are also involved

The man in the photo with you is quite handsome

Jing Miyu ordered a large cup of iced coffee

He is reluctant

What was sent is a voice message

Thirteen minutes ago, he sent a photo

Boss Lü's communication matches are mostly designed to boost the winning records of the competitors, while Sun Ran is merely a designated loser supported by Boss Lü. Many take pride in having defeated a former fighting champion. However, Sun Ran now views his performance with a very light and indifferent attitude

Biyaxi, a type of gemstone. It precisely embodies the meaning of the two characters "mi yu" (to seek jade)

Is that sports car a limited edition?" she said softly, "The owner looks wealthy at first glance. I am unfamiliar with this place, and I am afraid of offending the wrong person.

She cast a glance at the plate on the table—surely she is about to explain that pot of beef tripe mushrooms

"I care about you," she relaxed her expression, "Is there any update on the matter of you being followed?"

The clinking of glasses is crisp, reminiscent of the times when cups were exchanged. Yet now, all matters seem like shadows.

"The luxury stores you go to, I cannot afford to visit." She made a playful face.

Yes. Yan Yu is this kind of person ... ... '' Qi Yufeng paused again

After taking a stroll around the Biya Xi flagship store, Jing Miyu found nothing of interest

is my fan

She wanted to shape her lip line into a right angle, but was unsuccessful. Therefore, she took out her phone, found a Q-version image with a cold sweat black line, and held the screen next to her cheek to show it to him for appreciation

After breaking up with his first love, Yan Yu embarked on a colorful journey of emotions. He parted ways with his last girlfriend two months ago

Retract the preface. Sun Ran is not much more likable than Qi Yufeng, being rather eccentric and overly childish. "Who are you with?"

Fortunately, this time Qi Yufeng continued the conversation, saying, "He has been spoiled."

The atmosphere became oppressive for a moment

Do not cast a hex on me, I am currently undergoing a change in fortune. Please do not like or comment on my posts. Thank you

"You are a friend." She raised her crimson lips, her dimples appearing, and her eyes brimmed with a pool of autumn water. "If you were not a friend, I would not invite you to dinner."

"I am afraid of disturbing you," she said politely with a smile, "I would like to thank you for the matter regarding the parking lot."

Ms. Ge, the mother of Yan Yu

Sun Ran immediately sent a message on WeChat: "What the hell, what did you like?"

None of the information that came out is his

Qi Yufeng comforted, "It is not your fault"

There is no need for politeness; it is what friends should do.

"Who have you offended?" she asked earnestly

He is familiar with the arena. He appreciates me and persuades Boss Lü to approve my victory in a match. I am not very concerned about winning or losing. However, being able to give my all in the ring is quite exhilarating. It has been a long time since I felt that good while fighting. Sun Ran's features are relaxed, and his down jacket conceals his strong physique.

Sun Ran said, "Freeze to death." His tone was flat and devoid of emotion, making it difficult to discern whether it was concern or sarcasm. He looked up at the waiter and said, "Latte, hot."

Sun Ran said: "This will harm the stomach"

This is the advantage of having a doll-like face

Sun Ran pretended not to see and said, "What is it that you want to discuss with me?"

However, today there are other handsome men appearing on screen—those are her new targets

Three days later, Jing Miyu arranged to meet Sun Ran at OneFool

The waiter brought over a hot cup of coffee and said, "Please enjoy it slowly." After saying that, he went back to counting the stars

He remained silent for a few seconds and replied, "You're right."

Sun Ran and Jing Mi Yu had grown accustomed to the quietness of this shop, and they went to their usual seats by the window

He occasionally takes a few selfies, which is quite normal. He is handsome with a baby face, especially attracting the affection of peculiar aunts

When dining with Qi Yufeng, Jing Miyu always chooses a quiet and elegant private room

The waiter presented the iced coffee

Qi Yufeng said: "Yan Yu is the son of the owner of Biyaxie."

The waiter responded promptly.

I almost forgot, whenever you arrive in a new city, the first thing you do is seek out delicious food. He rested his elbows on the edge of the table, "This is my second time here, yet I have embarrassed you instead."

I have resolved that matter for you. Qi Yufeng leaned forward, the light and shadow dancing across his face, "Miyu, do you no longer trust me?"

The door is left ajar. A waiter sits at the bar, counting how many stars are in the mural.

She pressed further, "Have you ever offended anyone during the competition?"

The name "Biya Xi" sounds peculiar, yet it is the leading jewelry brand in Beixiu City. The founder's first pot of gold was from Biya Xi, hence the name.

Jing Miyu gave a bitter smile and said, "If you put it that way, I'm even more afraid of offending him." This is a tricky situation. All the inquiries are about trivial matters, and even such a background is not mentioned.

Jing Mi Yu, who pricked up her ears, almost sprayed the wine in her mouth. She swallowed it reluctantly. "Hmm, very delicious."

Thinking of Sun Ran, she felt a bit of a headache.

Her name is Yan Si, and she resides on Jinming Island. Seeing her expression change, Sun Ran added: "It is a small island at the southern end of Beixiu."

"Act according to one's ability." Jing Miyu shares a mutual appreciation with Sun Ran that transcends gender. Unlike Qi Yufeng, who frequently speaks of friendship but is actually insincere at heart

He agreed only now.

She and Sun Ran did not sever ties after their breakup, and their social circles remain open to each other

Then... she paused, "Would you do me the honor of having dinner?"

I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me. It sounds quite plausible.

He smiled helplessly and said, "Miyu, I thought we were still friends"

"What is the background of the new friend you have made?" During her conversation with Qi Yufeng, she was cautious. However, when facing Sun Ran, she was able to ask her questions directly

He looks quite handsome. She is sincere

Next, Qi Yufeng began to introduce this store

She broke into a smile, "Certainly. Mr. Qi has a great reputation. I toast to you with this glass."

Jing Miyu looked at him several times, and after taking a sip of wine, she broke the silence, "Was the car accident that day really nothing to worry about?"

Qi Yufeng's melodious voice came from the phone, "Mi Yu, receiving your call is the greatest surprise of my day"

The webpage related to Ms. Ge only states that she was a prominent jewelry appraiser and includes a blurred photograph.

She said, "If you don't come out, I will keep bothering you."

Jing Miyu tried to flip through that photo again, but it had already been deleted by Sun Ran

The light was dim, and a layer of shadow enveloped his face and body, while his brownish-yellow suit jacket reminded her of a weasel moving through the woods at night. "I have been quite busy," she offered a good reason, along with a rather perfunctory excuse.

Thus, he no longer cared

It has been a long time since we last had a meal together. Qi Yufeng pushed a piece of sweet taro into her bowl, asking, "Why didn't you come to find me when you went to Beixiu?"

Qi Yufeng typed a reply to Yan Yu on his phone, saying: "Have you heard of Biya Xiting? They are in the jewelry business"

On that day, she sat barefoot in the corner of the sofa, reciting Yan Yu's information from memory.

Hmm? Jing Miyu was choked by the iced coffee, and then burst into laughter

This made her laugh so hard that she almost lost her breath, "Then could you introduce who he is? What is his surname and given name, and where does he live?"

Jing Miyu knows Jinming Island. But who is Yan Si

Jing Mi Yu gazed at him

"It is an honor to receive an invitation from you, madam." This is his consistent demeanor

It seems to be a jeweler

Jing Miyi asked: "How did you come to know this Yan Si?"

She deleted his phone number long ago, but those eleven digits are easy to remember and hard to forget. A number like 3838, whether deleted or not, makes no difference at all

Jing Miyu searched for the brand Biyaxi online, and then searched for the keyword: Yan Yu

The next second, I was startled into sitting up by a photograph

She smiled gently and said, "My colleagues and I often come to this store"

"It's nothing, you can rest assured." He smiled again.

She relaxed her mind, but the next sentence made her anxious again

I edited his photo with filters. The meaning is that reality is not as good as the picture

Qi Yufeng first listened to it himself and couldn't help but say, "This is the car owner you mentioned."

No. Once I got into your car, the sense of urgency disappeared. Sun Ran did not know the appearance of the stalker; he was relying on his intuition developed from years of martial arts training to make his judgment

He looks completely non-threatening as he comfortably leans against the sofa

A newly acquainted friend. I will talk to you another day, I am busy

Until Qi Yufeng received a WeChat message from Yan Yu

Her smile is particularly beautiful, with her upper lip forming a straight line and her lower lip curving into a gentle arc. In Sun Ran's memory, she hasn't been this cheerful in a long time. Usually, she carries herself with an air of pretentiousness. He said flatly: "You do not understand the friendship among men"

Jing Mi raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Is it what you just mentioned... Yan Yu?"

"Yan Yu is this kind of person..." Qi Yufeng paused for a moment, added some food to her bowl, and said: "The meat of the three-point crabs is not much, mainly the crab roe."

The beginnings with his girlfriends could be as quick as a few days or as slow as several months. The one he pursued for half a year was before he turned eighteen. His first love was a delicate and refined girl, who was very much to his liking.

She smiled

Jing Miyu smiled and asked Sun Ran, "Your last photo was so handsome, why did you delete it?"
