She Really Hates

Chapter 31:

Meng Xi’s face is really not good.

Because of some incompetent entanglement in her heart, the tone of her question was a little weird.

This kind of performance in the eyes of others has another meaning.

“Ah, I’m sorry!” Tong Dong hurriedly apologized, “Because I… I have a friend who is like this, so I’m a little too sensitive, I may have misunderstood you, I apologize!”

“…”

Of course it was a misunderstanding.

But it can’t be said that it was a complete misunderstanding… Meng Xi himself didn’t know how to describe the current relationship between her and Song Zhiyi.

“nothing.”

She made a “tsk” in her heart as to why she was upset for a while, twisted up her lipstick, stuffed it back into her bag, and asked casually, “Do you think Song Zhiyi likes me?”

Tong Dong said she “has a friend who is like this”.

Regardless of whether this friend is herself or not, Meng Xi feels that she should have some experience in this area… At least she has more experience than Xiao Zhu’s heterosexual who was broken up, right?

Meng Xi wanted to hear other people’s opinions on issues that had not been confirmed by Xiao Zhu.

“Ah? Song Zhiyi…”

Tong Dong heard some clues from this question that seemed to be asked casually.

But…

She secretly glanced at Meng Xi.

From what she observed today, it was clear that Meng Xi was paying more attention to the other side, as if she couldn’t live without it for a minute.

…and, she has her own mind too.

“It’s hard to say, I’m not sure…” Tong Dong said embarrassedly, “Also, Meng Xi, do you know what you want to do with this?”

What do you want to do?

Meng Xi has not thought about this issue carefully. She felt that it was useless to think too much before knowing the result.

She just wanted to know whether Song Zhiyi liked her or not? Then…

Then decide what to do.

“Forget it… you think I didn’t ask.”

Meng Xi came back to his senses and felt that he was too ill to go to the doctor to ask an old classmate who he didn’t know well about this kind of thing.

She is ready to go.

Tong Dong didn’t expect her to give up so quickly and leave so neatly, she was a little anxious.

She caught up and said, “Wait Mengxi, did I just ask something that shouldn’t be asked? Well, I didn’t mean anything else, I just saw that you were a little troubled, I’m sorry to offend you! Besides, I also…”

Meng Xi stopped to look at her.

In all fairness, although Tong Dong’s appearance is not as perfect as Song Zhiyi’s favored face, it is not bad, and can be called a beautiful woman.

Seeing the combination of a comfortable face and a warm and cheerful personality, Meng Xi’s first impression of her was not bad.

If Song Zhiyi hadn’t told her about it.

She doesn’t care about other people’s family affairs, and she doesn’t mean to criticize others with her own moral values. She just loses interest in deep friendship.

“You don’t need to apologize, I don’t mind.” Meng Xi said bluntly, looking at her in a hurry, “But indeed, I don’t have the habit of discussing personal matters with people I don’t know well, so let it go.”

“…”

After she finished speaking, she walked forward without any hesitation.

Leaving Tong Dong to look at her back, bit her lip, and tighten her drooping hand slightly.

Shortly after Meng Xi returned to the dinner table, the meal was finally coming to an end, and it was time for the banquet.

A group of people scrambled for a long time on who should pay the bill. In the end, the organizer who had promised to treat guests at the beginning, the monitor, went to the front desk to settle the bill.

Everyone took their good things and went out back and forth talking gossip. Meng Xi and Song Zhiyi landed at the back side by side.

When he was about to walk to the front desk, Song Zhiyi suddenly made a “huh” and said annoyed, “I don’t seem to have brought out my mobile phone…”

Meng Xi stopped after her: “I’ll accompany you back to get it.”

“…”

Song Zhiyi didn’t speak, just watched her.

Meng Xi paused.

When she said it, she blurted out subconsciously, and in Song Zhiyi’s eyes, she realized that this was another thing “beyond the distance of friends”.

… where is it?

Isn’t this kind of thing allowed? Meng Xi is also a little unhappy when she is always rejected with good intentions.

Song Zhiyi seemed to see this, and smiled helplessly to reassure her: “Just grab a mobile phone, what do you want the two of you to do? You book the tickets first, okay?”

“…understood.”

Meng Xi was depressed to keep up with the large army.

She took out her phone to book movie tickets. Regarding the choice of film, they discussed to the end, among the science fiction films that are terrible to watch, and the music-themed romance films that are not too new, they decided to compromise and watch the latest superhero series.

Meng Xi lowered his head to operate the phone, completely ignoring what was happening in front of him.

When she booked the tickets, she heard someone in front of them suddenly raise their voices and ask, “How come it’s not enough?!”

Meng Xi raised her head, and it was the monitor who spoke.

He’s blushing now, don’t know if it’s because he’s drunk or because he’s too embarrassed by what happened.

The person next to him kindly gave a step: “Did you take the wrong card, monitor? Or is there something wrong with this POS machine?”

The monitor’s lips moved, and he was sure that he had the wrong card, so he could only turn his attention to the waiter at the front desk.

The waitress in the small black suit said calmly, “Sir, your table, including the two bottles of Petrus that a lady had ordered earlier, is…”

She reported a number that made most of the people present look at each other in dismay.

“If you are sure that the balance in the bank card is sufficient, that is the problem on our side. I will change a machine for you. I am very sorry.”

The waiter’s words were polite, but his attitude was tough.

No one cares about this with her.

The most important problem now is that everyone present knew that the unexpected meal came from those two bottles of expensive wine, but no one had seen it at the dinner table.

Who would decide this?

Lu Mei sneered suddenly and glanced at the women present, except for Meng Xi, who finally stopped on Tong Dong for two more seconds.

She said disdainfully: “Who ordered this wine? Come out and pay the bill yourself. To do this kind of thing for this little bit of cheapness is so poor and sour.”

Many people secretly echoed in their hearts, thinking that this was a rare human word that she said so much today.

But still no one stood up.

In the almost silent air, the most embarrassing person was the squad leader who was still holding his bank card.

Everyone is nice.

What’s more, he was a successful person who organized this class reunion and insisted that he should pay the bills by himself.

Today, in front of the public, it is enough to lose face if the true confession is rejected; when paying the bill, the waiter tells the public that the balance is not enough.

Although the culprit that caused this scene was the villain who quietly ordered two bottles of famous wine, he still felt a hot face and felt uncomfortable, and the people in the line seemed to be looking at him secretly.

It’s not a question of who is inferior.

These two bottles of wine may not be able to be bought with his assets, but the price has exceeded his expectations. Forcing a large sum of money will only shrink the wallet meaninglessly, and it is not worth it in such a place.

Accounting for gains and losses is not a bad thing.

However, when he just finished pretending to be arrogant in front of his old classmates, it was not so acceptable.

He couldn’t help looking at the only one who could definitely solve the current situation.

Meng Xi stood at the edge of the crowd in all kinds of boredom, watching the group of people keep silent without any intention of mixing.

Originally, after the waiter explained the situation, she felt that things had become troublesome, and her first reaction was to go directly to pay, and then disbanded each other, so as to save herself from dawdling on this matter.

Have you watched her movie yet?

Anyway, in her eyes, this amount of money is not much different from asking for a meal.

But before she could take a step, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something—

Of all the people at this dinner party, who has the most opportunity and motivation to do such a thing?

Mengxi doesn’t think anyone would be stupid enough to think that other people would pay for someone else in this situation, and it’s too easy to expose…so think in the other direction.

She thought about it, so she didn’t speak.

As it happens, the last ‘suspect” is long overdue.

“What’s wrong?” Her gentle voice was full of surprise, and she walked to Meng Xi’s side, “Is something wrong?”

Probably not knowing how to explain this embarrassing situation, no one spoke for a while.

However, the waiter ignored the strange atmosphere and added, “This lady ordered the wine.”

The rest were startled, as if they did not expect this development. The squad leader was especially stunned.

“Huh? Ah…”

Song Zhiyi was puzzled at first, then suddenly thought of something, and finally showed a sincere apology to the squad leader.

This series of facial expressions changes smoothly, extremely natural, and there is no trace of artificial performance.

Her voice was even more gentle and sincere: “Sorry, it was indeed my decision. I wanted to pay it at the checkout, but I forgot later… In order to make amends, I will invite you for this meal today.”

She took out a card from her purse, as if she had drawn it casually, handed it to the waiter without looking at it, and said calmly, “The password is six zeros.”

This time, of course, there will be no shortage of balance.

Seeing the bleak and embarrassed look on the monitor’s face, Meng Xi couldn’t help sympathizing with him in his heart.

Gee… Murder is a heartbreaker.

Song Zhiyi will never get tired of playing this game.

This class reunion ended up being an unhappy breakup. The monitor left in a hurry, and the others didn’t stay for long.

Meng Xi said, “I think he won’t want to contact you again, let alone pursuing him.”

How big is this psychological shadow.

“I didn’t want to make it so ugly.” Song Zhiyi seemed to be a little helpless. “He chased after me first.”

The cinema is not far from here, and the two of them walked down the street at night.

On the side lane is a continuous flow of traffic, surrounded by people coming and going. The environment can’t be said to be beautiful, but the atmosphere can be considered good just by walking together.

At this time, Song Zhiyi was reluctant to think about the annoying behavior of unrelated people.

“What’s more…”

The corners of her slightly raised lips seemed a little meaningful under the colorful night lights of the city, and her voice was as light as the moment when a bird fluttered its wings, “I also want to warn some people, don’t try to meddle with me… friend.”

“…”

Meng Xi knew who she was talking about.

But before that, she cared more – what was that subtle pause?

My… what?

Are you sure you meant “friend”?

The guy who only allows state officials to set fires and does not allow people to light lamps, Meng Xi thought, you are the one who doesn’t know the distance between friends the most!

With the unhappiness of being rejected before, Meng Xi began to think while feeling awkward because of this temporary remark.

It can’t go on like this.

If Song Zhiyi can not restrain herself, then… she also has her own plans.

The author has something to say: Mr. Meng, a woman who takes the bait whenever she is provoked.
