Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Rival
Honestly, don’t be fooled by her delicate hands!
Lin Xi secretly thought, feeling no resistance to Shangguan Nishang’s approach.
If only Bai Bing were this proactive, wouldn’t that be great!
As for Bai Bing saying she’s very casual, often changing boyfriends, Lin Xi was a bit puzzled.
From his perspective, Shangguan Nishang’s behavior just now was indeed not typical of well-behaved girls, describing her as casual wouldn’t be far off.
But the problem is, from Lin Xi’s insight, she’s just someone who doesn’t understand anything.
A casual girl who’s this pretty, her body should have long been compromised.
And despite how she just walked over and almost collided face-to-face with Lin Xi, there was inner awkwardness.
Also, at the moment she grabbed Lin Xi’s arm, her body was slightly stiff.
These are human instinctive reactions, hard to control, unless she’s really as Bai Bing says, very casual!
Lin Xi knows Bai Bing well, she wouldn’t say anything without factual basis, nor would she aimlessly shoot from the hip, much less slander others.
Expressing surprise about Shangguan Nishang’s words, Lin Xi wondered where the usual calm and taciturn Bai Bing went.
Looks like the two are indeed at odds, they’re arch-nemeses!
At the same time, Lin Xi can conclude that this woman, like a fairy, is actually not as she seems on the surface.
"Hey handsome, what’s your name?" Shangguan Nishang shook Lin Xi’s arm and tilted her head, eyeing him seductively like a big sister scrutinizing her younger brother.
"Lin Xi." Lin Xi replied.
"Surname Lin?" Shangguan Nishang pondered for a moment, realizing there’s no notable family or nobility with the surname Lin in Chuzhou City, nor any prominent officials.
Could he be from the capital?
Given Bai Bing’s status and vision, her man should be at least on the same level as her family, likely higher.
And this Lin Xi has the appearance of a laborer!
What’s going on, can anyone explain it to her?
She’s only been out of touch with Bai Bing for a little over a year, has Bai Bing’s preferences radically changed?
Or as she once said, is it role-playing?
"Where is your home?" Shangguan Nishang asked curiously.
"Yunlong Mountain." Lin Xi didn’t hide it; saying this place might not necessarily ring a bell for her anyway.
Shangguan Nishang was stunned, what is this place? Isn’t it supposed to be the capital? So she asked further, "Where do you work?"
"I don’t work."
Student? Unemployed? Does Bai Bing like them young now? Aren’t they a couple?
"What’s your relationship?"
"It’s not an ordinary relationship."
On the side, Bai Bing’s expression was cold, almost icy, but Lin Xi and Shangguan Nishang seemed oblivious.
"Are you doing role-playing?"
"What’s that?"
"It’s when you usually don’t get along well, so you play roles to add fun to life."
"That’s a secret."
"When did you meet?"
"Forgotten."
.bg-ssp-10081{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;}"When did you do ’that’?"
"Do you want to try?"
,,,
Asking a ton of questions, Shangguan Nishang felt it was the first time in her life she failed so badly, only finding out a place called Yunlong Mountain, but that’s not the point!
Moreover, she was actually teased.
In her worldview, guys are the ones being teased.
Besides, all it takes for her to lure a man is a look, as for questions, they desperately wish they could reveal details about their family’s eighteen generations to her.
This made her both angry and curious about Lin Xi, is he pretending on purpose, or is it because Bai Bing is there?
However, upon seeing Bai Bing’s face looking like it’s frozen, she felt an inexplicable joy.
Back in school, initially, the two weren’t in opposition but for whatever reason, everyone always compared them.
Adding their contrasting personalities, "you can’t stand me and I can’t stand you," naturally they became arch-enemies.
"Get in the car!" Bai Bing called out to Lin Xi with a stern expression.
"No way, handsome, stay a bit longer, look at me all alone, how boring! Why don’t you come with me today?" Shangguan Nishang’s seductive side was completely on display.
"No." Lin Xi said with difficulty, as Bai Bing was obviously angry.
"Handsome, why not be my boyfriend?" Shangguan Nishang wasn’t discouraged and took a step back to lure again.
"Really?" Lin Xi paused, asking back.
"Yes, really for sure." Shangguan Nishang seeing Lin Xi agree, couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. Is this guy just like any other man? So easy to win over? She thought Bai Bing had better taste.
Lin Xi smiled playfully, applying a bit of force with his arm, causing Shangguan Nishang to fall against his chest.
This startled the always composed Shangguan Nishang, prompting her to struggle free from Lin Xi’s embrace, angrily saying, "What are you doing?"
"Doing what friends do?" Lin Xi smiled.
Shangguan Nishang playfully pouted, then smiled again, "Handsome, that was so sudden, you scared me."
Lin Xi didn’t want to tease her anymore, he said, "Move your car, we’re getting ready to leave."
"No way, why should I!" Shangguan Nishang shook her head.
"I can give you my WeChat." Lin Xi suggested.
",,," Shangguan Nishang paused, isn’t it supposed to be you asking for my WeChat? She wondered why, "Why?"
"You can pursue me then." Lin Xi said.
",,," Shangguan Nishang paused again, secretly thinking, you’re so confident, if it weren’t because of Bai Bing, I’d want you far, far away.
"Okay."
After contemplating, she agreed, after all, know yourself and your opponent to win every battle, she wants to snatch everything Bai Bing prioritizes over herself.
After the two exchanged WeChat, Lin Xi returned to the car, and Shangguan Nishang moved her car aside.
When Bai Bing drove away, Shangguan Nishang threw a flying kiss from the window to Lin Xi, shouting, "Handsome, let’s chat on WeChat tonight!", causing Bai Bing to glare fiercely at Lin Xi.
"Give me your WeChat, we can chat more in the future." Lin Xi smiled at Bai Bing, thinking it’s best not to show favoritism.
"No need!"
Actually, Bai Bing would use it, but she felt annoyed thinking about her efforts to buy him clothes, and now he’s adding that seductive vixen’s WeChat. Just the thought made her angry.
"How about we go eat now?" Since it was already 2 PM, Lin Xi hadn’t eaten anything since the morning, and he was feeling quite hungry.
"Sorry, I don’t cover meals!" Bai Bing replied coldly.
