Chapter 150 Chu Xuange: Feelings Cannot Be Weighed on a Scale
Pei Hening looked up and saw two male players.
The guy on the left wearing a light gray tracksuit looks familiar; he seems to be the one who has designs on 002, but I don't know his name.
I've never seen another person wearing a thick sweater with a denim jacket over it before.
Pei Hening withdrew her gaze with little interest; compared to the two unfamiliar male players, the wine on the table was far more attractive to her.
Lemon leaned back on the sofa, and at some point, she pulled out a women's cigarette. She didn't light it, just played with it in her hand. She squinted at the two of them, a half-smile on her face, and said, "A defeated opponent still has the nerve to ask for drinks?"
[Shark Ten Years] shamelessly sat down next to Lemon Fruit, fawning over her. He said, "Even a defeated opponent is still an opponent. Sister Lemon, let me try some of this good stuff. I'm so hungry."
[Shark Ten Years] loves drinking, especially alcohol from Earth. He used to want to be an alcohol review blogger and recommend good drinks to everyone. However, a road trip to survive ruined his review dream.
Sigh, why not test the alcohol in the road survival game... I'm broke.
Seeing his pathetic state, Lemon still waved to the fox clerk, asking him to bring over two more wine glasses.
[Shark Ten Years]'s eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands together, and became extremely attentive.
[I can bury you in money] sat next to [Shark Ten Years], leaning back on the sofa, looking carefree, glancing casually at the mermaid not far away.
The mermaid noticed his gaze, looked up at him, and her eyes remained calm.
[I could bury you in money] He met her gaze, then awkwardly looked away.
Pei Hening sensed the undercurrent between the two mermaids, picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and his eyes lit up. The wine tasted very good.
The mermaid rested her chin on her hand and asked, "Didn't you two say you were going to have a duel? Aren't you going to fight?"
"I could bury you in money," he said, tugging at his collar. "You want to see?"
[Shark Ten Years] complained bitterly: "Sister Fish, let me have a couple of drinks, don't get Old Qian to beat me up."
Pei Hening deduced from their conversation that the one in the gray tracksuit was [I'll bury you in money], and the other one... was [Shark Ten Years]?
She wasn't sure, so she just drank silently.
Lemon suddenly leaned closer to Pei Hening and whispered, "The rich girl, the one in the light gray tracksuit is [I Can Bury You with Money], and the one in the denim jacket is [Shark Ten Years]."
Pei Hening understood. "Oh, it was them."
Lemon nodded and placed the wine in front of Old Qian and [Shark Ten Years]. She lowered her voice and asked Mermaid, "What's going on between you and Old Qian? The atmosphere between you two is strange."
The mermaid looked up at Lao Qian, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible malice: "Sister Lemon asked me what's going on between us, the atmosphere is weird, can you explain?"
Old Qian looked up and met her gaze. Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he said in a hoarse voice, "Our first love...and our ex."
Pei Hening was shocked by this answer. She looked at the mermaid and then at Lao Qian. First love and ex?
Lemon was full of surprise. She had made preparations, but not enough.
"Cough cough cough!!"
[Shark Ten Years] choked on his drink and exclaimed in shock, "Huh? You two? Your first love was your ex? When did this happen? Before or after the road survival challenge?"
Old Qian said, "Before the highway, I was trying to survive."
[Shark Ten Years] is particularly oblivious: "What was the reason for the breakup?"
The mermaid looked at [Shark Ten Years] with a half-smile: "Aren't you talking too much?"
"Xiaoyu, I also want to know the reason."
Old Qian suppressed the bitterness welling up inside him and looked at her, wanting to take this opportunity to ask her why she wanted to break up with him.
Old Qian suddenly recalled his friends' comments about her—she was like an oleander, beautiful in appearance but poisonous throughout. He had always disagreed with this assessment; it was perfectly normal for Xiao Yu to have a bit of a personality.
Lemon poured herself a glass of wine, and seeing that Pei Hening's glass was empty, she poured her another one.
The three of them ate melons up close.
The mermaid leaned back on the sofa, looking at him calmly: "I remember telling you that loving someone more than yourself will bring retribution, and I also hate it when people express love through self-sacrifice. The most important thing is not to lose yourself. Have you done that?"
Old Qian fell silent. He remembered, he had always remembered.
The mermaid added, "The flight from London back to Beijing is a full 8,174 kilometers, and the estimated flight time is nine hours and fifty-one minutes."
"When I think about how you took such a long flight to see me and surprise me, I first noticed your pathetic, foolish, and self-deprecating attitude, and only then did I feel your love for me."
"A naive man who only sees love and affection is often someone who loves to the point of wanting to live and hates to the point of wanting to die. Human emotions are uncontrollable. I can't guarantee that I will love you forever or that I can always tolerate your foolishness. So I choose to let go before our relationship is completely unrecognizable."
After the mermaid finished speaking, Lao Qian laughed instead. He leaned back on the sofa, seemingly much more relaxed: "Xiao Yu, you still care about me so much. You even remember the flight route from Beijing to London so clearly."
Mermaid: "..."
Lemon's lips twitched; she'd truly seen something amazing...
[Shark Ten Years]: "...That's not what Sister Fish meant."
Old Qian looked up at [Shark Ten Years] and laughed: "Do you think you know better than I do what she means?"
[Shark Ten Years]: Well, you love-struck idiot who can't understand human language!
After Chu Xuange finished dealing with the matter, he went out to find Pei Hening and happened to overhear the conversation between the mermaid and Lao Qian.
He glanced at Lao Qian with disdain in his eyes, thinking, "He's hopelessly in love."
Chu Xuange tiptoed to Pei Hening's side and asked in a low voice, "Baby, are you bored?"
"Are you done?"
Seeing him nod, Pei Hening lowered her voice and asked, "Did you hear their conversation?"
"right."
What do you think?
Chu Xuange took Pei Hening's hand and said in a low voice, "The essence of liking another person is to make them happy, not to make them happy. As the one being loved, you only need to consider whether you want this relationship or not."
"Love is not something that can be weighed on a fair scale; if you care too much about fairness, it is not love."
After finishing her drink, Lemon poured more drinks for everyone present, only to find that Pei Hening had an extra player next to her. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was her boyfriend. She took another glass, poured a drink, and handed it to him, saying, "This is for your boyfriend."
Pei Hening smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Lemon."
[Shark Ten Years] also noticed the extra Chu Xuange at this time.
He glanced at Pei Hening and Chu Xuange, then looked at Lemon: "Sister Lemon?"
Seeing the mermaid's dark expression, Lemon coughed and immediately shooed her away: "Didn't you have a 1v1 match with Old Qian? Now that you've had your drinks, shouldn't you go and have a go?"
