She pointed at Li Xian and said gently, “Come with me. 1 have a few words to say to you.”
After saying that, Bai Ye took Li Xian to a quiet place at the side. She didn’t care about Xin Xin, who had been standing with Li Xian. It was as if this woman didn’t catch her eye at all.
Xin Xin glanced at Bai Ye and Li Xian, who had left. The light in her eyes dimmed slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Li Xian naturally sensed Xin Xin’s gaze on him as she sized him up. He pretended not to know and looked at his teacher walking in front of him. Li Xian sighed slightly and took the initiative to explain before Bai Ye could ask, “When 1 organized everyone to come over this time, 1 also took the initiative to invite her. She didn’t say if she would come. 1 wasn’t sure, so I didn’t dare to tell you!”
Bai Ye felt a little upset by Li Xian’s honest attitude. She was silent for a while before continuing to ask, “You’re not even sure if Weiwei will come, so why did you say that just now? What are you implying?”
After hearing Bai Ye’s question, Li Xian thought for a moment and told her everything. He said, “1 heard some rumors elsewhere that Xia Wei and Xin Xin have been on bad terms recently. I don’t know how to mediate their conflict, so I’m very annoyed…”
“Mediate the conflict between the two of them?” Bai Ye was almost amused by Li Xian’s naive idea. She looked at her favorite student helplessly and sighed. “The conflict between the two of them is not as simple as you think, so 1 advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible. If you still want Xia Wei to be nice to you, quickly distance yourself from Xin Xin. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Xin Xin is not as good as you think!”
…..
As Bai Ye spoke, she seemed to have recalled something from the past. After sighing with mixed feelings, she raised her hand and patted Li Xian’s arm. She looked at him earnestly before slowly walking away.
Li Xian stood rooted to the ground in silence, thinking about something. The scene of Xia Wei rejecting him coldly that day flashed across his mind again.
He should know that he had hurt Xia Wei too deeply previously, so it was normal for her to not want to talk to him now. However, he was indignant. He could not let go of his complex feelings for Xia Wei, so he had been in a dilemma and pacing back and forth!
When Bai Ye returned to her old friend’s side, she realized that Xin Xin was chatting enthusiastically with Ma Lei. She chuckled and interrupted, “What are you chatting about so happily?”
“Oh, we’re talking about Ms. Ma’s new movie. Have you finished talking to Brother Xian?” After Xin Xin saw Bai Ye, a very obedient smile immediately appeared on her face and she answered Bai Ye respectfully.
Bai Ye nodded when she heard that. She looked at Ma Lei without saying a word and continued to talk about the topic between them just now. “Didn’t you say that Jian Tan is coming too? When will he arrive? Should we get someone to go out and welcome him? It’s indeed not easy to find us here!”
“You’re finally willing to admit that your place is out of the way, right? You’re really a stick-in-the-mud!” Ma Lei was a woman with extremely high EQ. She could tell that Bai Ye did not like this Xin Xin very much, so she started chatting and laughing with her old friend. For a moment, she actually neglected Xin Xin, the “good girl” in the eyes of outsiders!
“There’s no need to send someone to welcome them! They sent me a message five minutes ago saying that they’re already here. 1 think they’re already at the door.”
Just as Ma Lei finished speaking, an abnormally eye-catching pair walked into the courtyard.
Xin Xin followed Bai Ye’s gaze and looked over. When she realized that the person was also an “acquaintance” of hers, she was a little surprised. She instinctively called out the other party’s name. “Xia Wei? Jian Tan…”
Of course, she was not surprised by Xia Wei’s arrival, nor was she surprised by Jian Tan’s appearance. She knew that both of them would come today, but she did not expect them to come together!
Xia Wei and Jian Tan attended Bai Ye’s birthday banquet together. What an unusual combination. Since when did they have such a close relationship?
Xin Xin thought that it was a little strange.. When she came back to her senses, everyone who had been standing still just now went up to them!
