Chapter 322 - 322 The Rubber Band
322 The Rubber Band
As expected, the moment Shen Xi lowered her head, she saw a necklace on her collarbone. She looked helplessly at Guan Lei. “You…”
Guan Lei quickly interrupted Shen Xi. “This can be considered a part of the process of pursuing someone, so you won’t reject me, will you?”
Before Shen Xi could say anything, Guan Lei tilted his head slightly to appreciate the necklace on Shen Xi. “It’s lovely. Luckily, no one has taken over your neck yet.”
Shen Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Guan Lei’s words. “Do you think this is a war? And you’re even talking about the occupation. Seriously?”
Guan Lei shrugged and said, “Who says it’s not a war? It’s even more intense than a war. If I had deployed my troops any later, you might have been someone else’s. This is my protective talisman, so wear it properly and don’t lose it.”
Shen Xi nodded.
“Since I’ve given you a gift, you should give me a gift too,” said Guan Lei in a domineering manner.
Shen Xi was instantly put in a difficult position. Guan Lei’s gift had come a little too suddenly, and she had not been prepared at all.
“I’ll go buy it during the lunch break.”
Guan Lei shook his head and pointed at the rubber band on Shen Xi’s hand. “I want the one in your hand.”
Shen Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “This rubber band doesn’t worth much and doesn’t look good either. What are you doing with it?”
“I like this one anyway. Just give it to me, okay?” said Guan Lei shamelessly.
Shen Xi looked at the childish Guan Lei and helplessly took off the rubber band in her hand, handing it to him.
Guan Lei was so happy that he looked like a fool. He immediately put Shen Xi’s rubber band on his hand and even adjusted the stars on the rubber band to a conspicuous position.
“Alright, I’ll go change my shoes first. See you later.” Shen Xi waved her hand at Guan Lei.
Guan Lei nodded and watched as Shen Xi entered the dormitory. He then looked at the rubber band in his hand with delight. This was proof that he belonged to Shen Xi.
An idea came to Guan Lei’s mind. He took out his phone and took a picture of his wrist with the rubber band. Then, he removed Meng Yu from the blacklist and sent him the picture. “I’m taken. This is the proof. My Xi gave it to me.”
Then, he blacklisted the annoying person again.
Meng Yu, who was eating breakfast in the car, suddenly received Guan Lei’s photo. He handed the photo to Li Zhe and asked, “What is he saying?”
Li Zhe looked at the photo. Xi? Shen Xi? Oh! Isn’t she the missy from the Lu and Shen families that I told you about?”
“The point is, why did he send it to me? What does it have to do with me?” Meng Yu asked, still puzzled.
Li Zhe wasn’t sure why Guan Lei had suddenly sent such a photo to Meng Yu. “Maybe he’s trying to say that he already has a girlfriend and you don’t, so he’s mocking you.”
Meng Yu immediately choked on the soy milk he had just drunk. Li Zhe quickly took a tissue and wiped it for Meng Yu. “What’s the rush? If you want it, it’s not like there’s no one.”
Meng Yu wiped the water off his chest and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? How am I in a hurry?”
Li Zhe muttered to himself, “But I am.”
“What did you just say?” Meng Yu looked at Li Zhe, who was helping him wipe his clothes and blurted out.
Li Zhe’s mouth twitched. He looked at Meng Yu and said seriously, “I said I’m in hurry.”
Meng Yu didn’t expect Li Zhe to say this. He thought for a moment, then said, “I was careless. You’re 29 this year, right? It was time to find a girlfriend. Tell me, what kind do you like? I’ll screen them for you when I go back to Hai City.”
Li Zhe watched as Meng Yu seriously took out a notebook and recorded the matter of “Finding a partner for Director Li” on it. He was so angry that he closed his eyes and sighed.
“Director Li, what’s wrong? Could it be that you can’t wait? That’s not impossible. I can follow Guan Lei and help you choose a girlfriend at the same time. You can tell me your preferences, and I’ll record them down,” said Meng Yu in a business-like manner.
Li Zhe gritted his teeth and looked at Meng Yu, who was holding a pen. “Do you really want me to say it?”
Meng Yu nodded innocently.
“Okay, I want a taller one with short hair, double eyelids, a nose that’s not too tall and a little delicate, tubercle, and it’s best to have dimples. As for age, it’s best if one is three years younger than me.” Li Zhe looked at Meng Yu’s face and slowly stated his request.
Meng Yu stopped writing and looked at Li Zhe’s request. He didn’t expect Li Zhe’s taste to be so niche. He liked short-haired girls with dimples. That was a cute little beauty with short hair.
Meng Yu raised his head and said, “Alright, I’ve jotted down everything. I’ll ask my assistant to go through the list according to Director Li’s request. After I’ve gone through it, I’ll arrange a blind date for you.”
