Chapter 1398 No One Is Better Than You (1)
During rush hour, the cars converge on the road in a line of traffic that doesn’t see the end of the line.
Both luxury cars and ordinary cars drove very slowly.
Light, however, was in no hurry at all his attention was all on his cell phone.
When he came to a red light, or was stopped in traffic, Kou would glance at his cell phone, and if there was a new message, a smile that seemed so stupid to Mina that she wanted to cut him off would spread across his face.
If the wait was long, Light would still dribble his fingers and reply to the message with a smile like a spring breeze.
Three kilometers from Mina’s apartment, the road was finally less congested, and Kwang sent a voice, “I’m driving, I’ll talk to you when I get back.”
Unsure of what the one he was chatting with replied, Kou smiled a contented smile and hummed the familiar song “Tomorrow You Will Marry Me”.
Mina heard a stab of pain in her heart and didn’t know if it was pain or what.
The only thing she knew for sure was that she didn’t want to continue this.
She whipped her head around and stared at Light, “Please don’t sing.”
“What for?” Ah Guang was in a good mood and hummed a couple more lines, saying confidently, “I think I sing pretty well!”
“Ugh ……,” Mina shook her head and looked out the car window incredulously, “I don’t know where you get your confidence from?”
There was another red light up ahead, and Kou stopped the car, tsked, and looked at Mina thoughtfully.
Mina met Light’s gaze directly and provoked, “Isn’t it a man? Say what you want to say!”
“Ugh ……,” Kou sighed, half advice, half warning, “Mina, it’s easy to not have a boyfriend when you’re like this, you know?”
“Ch!” Mina gave Guang a disdainful look, “What’s it to you if I have a boyfriend or not? What are you blindly worrying about?”
“Uh-huh, it’s really none of my business.” Uncharacteristically not disliking Mina, Light tapped the steering wheel and said in a light tone, “Anyway, I’m about to have a girlfriend.”
Mina looked at Ah Guang expressionlessly and said, “You’d better chase people down and wait until they agree to be your girlfriend before you come out and brag about it. Be careful of ending up with a empty basket.”
It was at this point that the red light turned green.
Light started the car and spat, “Miss Mina, you just don’t have the right mindset.”
“……” Mina was speechless for a moment that could rise to the level of her having a problem with her mind?
Ah Guang put up the air of a man who has been there before, and analyzed head on, “This kind of thing, ‘feelings’, is very simple. I like her, she likes me, and when the time comes, we’ll naturally be together!”
Suspecting that she had heard wrong, Mina looked at Kou with amusement, “You’re stupid enough to think that liking each other is the only requirement for two people to be together? And, you’re certain that that girl likes you too?”
“Of course she likes me too!” Ah Guang was very sure of Liang Xi’s feelings for him, “If she didn’t like me, she wouldn’t chat with me every day, not to mention caring if I’m tired from work. Most importantly, besides me, she basically doesn’t chat with other friends of the opposite sex!”
“Oh-” Mina asked tentatively, “So did you confess to her? Did she agree to be with you?”
“I’m just about to confess.” Ah Guang clutched the steering wheel somewhat nervously, “I think, we already know each other almost well, I can’t hold people back any longer, I must give them an explanation. I’ll take a vacation tomorrow with Brother Seven, and if it goes well, I’ll fly back to G City in the afternoon, suddenly appear in front of her, give her a surprise, and confess to her in the meantime!”
“……” Mina, afraid her sourness would leak out, simply said, “Then …… good luck.”
“Enough fun!” Ah Guang laughed very happily and was looking forward to tomorrow, “Dude is not far from being single!”
Mina smiled and didn’t say anything.
She could feel it in herself, all the bitterness in her smile.
It didn’t take long for the car to pull up in front of Mina’s apartment door.
Mina got out of the car, watched Kou’s car drive away, and muttered two words, “Stupid!”
In such an era, Ah Guang’s perception of feelings actually retained the simplicity of the last century.
He actually thought that the girl liked him for simply liking him as a person.
Hadn’t he thought about it maybe the girl liked the things he had? Like money, like power?
Of course, there was no way Mina would have bothered to say these words to Light if Light hadn’t been on the defensive.
Let that fool continue to believe that feelings are all simple.
Hopefully the girl he likes is as silly and innocent as he is.
The next day, Mina went to the hospital early.
Mu Sijun had already gone to the company, and Xu Yuning was the only one in the large suite.
Xu Yuning was eating nuts and when he saw Mina, his line of sight subconsciously moved towards her leg, “How’s your wound?”
“Recovering well, not in the way anymore.” Mina sat down with a big smile, peeled a walnut, took a flap and threw it into her mouth, “It wasn’t a big problem in the first place, Yunin-san, you don’t need to remember this small wound.”
Xu Yuning nodded, then said, “Sir Si asked me to convey something to you.”
“What is it?” Mina ate the rest of the walnuts and threw the shells in the trash, “Is there something I need to do?”
“No.” Xu Yuning said politely, “Ah Guang has some personal matters and took a leave of absence to go back to G City. Before Ah Guang comes back, Si Jue should be very busy, you may have to stay in the hospital a little longer during the day.”
“Oh ……” Mina looked unconcerned, “That’s okay, there’s nothing for me to do back there anyway, so I might as well stay here with you.”
“…… “Xu Yuning still decided to reveal a little bit of the situation to Mina and asked tentatively, “Do you know what Ah Guang is doing back in G City?”
“Confess to that girl he likes, ah, he already told me yesterday.” Mina pretended to be relaxed and sighed grudgingly, “From now on, there will be another member of the dog abuse brigade, pity us single dogs.”
Mina is so good at acting that she looks, well, completely unconcerned.
Xu Yuning suddenly felt that she couldn’t continue this topic anymore.
Everyone’s acting skills were limited, and if she continued, Mina would soon break down.
They’d better do something else!
Xu Yuning was in a good state, all day long, she was chatting with Mina, and when there was really nothing to talk about, she let Mina accompany her to walk downstairs in the garden, in short, she just didn’t let Mina be idle.
Mina also forgot about Ah Guang for the time being, and smiled all day, and even made a date with Xu Yuning to go to the hospital cafeteria together in a while to try out the new products on the menu.
Both of them did not expect that after five o’clock in the afternoon, Ah Guang suddenly came back and appeared at the hospital in a disoriented state.
Xu Yuning and Mina were taking a walk in the garden, and when they saw Gwang like this, both of them froze for a moment.
Light kept his head down and didn’t say anything.
It was Mina who finally reacted first and poked Light in the arm, “Dude, what’s wrong with you?”
“……” said Light, still silent.
Mina vaguely guessed that Gwang should have gone back to his confession and had problems.
Had she really guessed that Ah Guang, the emotional white rabbit, had met a female fox?
Mina wasn’t as patient and walked over to Kou, forcing him to look up at her, “What’s the matter, will you talk? Speak up so we can help you! If you’re being bullied, I’ll go get revenge for you!”
Light shook his head, “You guys can’t help me either.”
Xu Yuning patiently asked, “Ah Guang, what’s wrong?”
“…… “After a while, Light slowly said, “So …… I’m just a spare tire.”
“…… “Xu Yuning and Mina instantly realized what was going on and didn’t say anything.
Light continued, “And just one of many spares.”
With that last one, Mina got a little confused and asked in disbelief, “What do you mean?”
It took a moment for Kou to tell the whole story.
He had originally planned to go back this afternoon, but after thinking about it last night, he realized that he couldn’t wait half a day, so he took leave from Mu Sijun early in the morning and flew back to G City.
He ran downstairs to Liang Xi’s house, wanting to give Liang Xi a surprise, but he didn’t expect someone to come earlier than him.
Liang Xi got into a man’s car, and the two of them ate breakfast together and went to their respective companies.
During the lunch break, Liang Xi left the company and went to an upscale western restaurant in the CBD to have lunch with another man.
Ah Guang checked, the man who bought the bill is Liang Xi’s top boss, and the man who ate breakfast with Liang Xi in the morning is one of Liang Xi’s schoolmates, working in a top 500 foreign enterprise, and has been successful in his career, and the most important thing is that this person’s family is very good.
Ah Guang suddenly wondered what he was to Liang Xi.
Ah Guang hadn’t thought he’d do this, but he simply couldn’t help himself in a situation like that he’d checked Liang Xi’s comings and goings in recent days.
Over the course of a week, Liang Xi maneuvered between four or five men, each with their own strengths.
Liang Xi and them were not boyfriend and girlfriend, but, they were not ordinary friends either.
Ah Guang was so disappointed that he deleted Liang Xi’s friend on the spot and flew back from G City.
On the plane, he heard the girl in the next seat talking about “spare tires”.
He finally realized that he was just Liang Xi’s spare tire, and still just one of the army of spare tires.
Liang Xi didn’t like him, perhaps it was only because there was a certain condition in him that exactly met Liang Xi’s expectations that Liang Xi kept in ambiguous contact with him.
After hearing this, Xu Yuning felt incredulous while feeling sorry for Ah Guang and said, “When Siju investigated Liang Xi’s personal data, he should have investigated Liang Xi’s love life again.”
Mina looked at Xu Yuning unexpectedly, “Seventh Brother has investigated Liang Xi?”
“Hmm.” Xu Yuning said with disappointment, “From the basic information, Liang Xi is an incomparable good girl.”
At that time, Musashi once joked there must be something wrong with a girl who likes Ah Guang.
Unexpectedly, Liang Xi actually did have a problem, or the most unacceptable problem.
This time, Light was probably really hurt.
