Chapter 361 Scheming

Xiao Shiyu was placed in Yan Xin's home. She called her parents to report that she was safe, and then also told her friends in Pengcheng that she was safe before resting.

I went to bed at around nine o'clock and slept for more than two hours. I was woken up by Ellie at twelve o'clock and went to a restaurant outside for dinner.

This made Xiao Shiyu feel a little embarrassed, thinking that such a reception was too grand, but Ailili said that this was the way to treat guests.

The restaurant she booked was not a high-end restaurant, it could only be described as above-average, not shabby, nor luxurious enough to make the guests uneasy.

When she got off work at 12 noon, Yan Xin went to the restaurant first, and she came over to ask Xiao Shiyu to get up and go eat.

In addition, Chen Li and Xiao Yuan were also invited to accompany them.

It's a pity that Gu Ru went to shoot an advertisement for a brand and was not in Yangcheng. Otherwise, she could have been called over - Gu Ru would not miss such an opportunity.

After Chen Li and Liang Wei broke up last time, Ai Lili had some opinions about Chen Li and felt that he was an irresponsible scumbag.

Chen Li could also feel Ai Lili's opinion of him, so he spent this period of time alone and did not come over to have a meal. Only sometimes did Yan Xin go to sit with him and chat about the plot of the novel.

This time, it was Ai Lili who proposed to call Chen Li, which surprised Yan Xin: "Don't you dislike him a little? Why did you call him again this time for dinner?"

Ai Lili said: "After all, he is your friend. Even if he does something wrong, he is still your friend, and he still lives in the same community. There is no need to be so decisive."

Yan Xin was a little moved and thought to himself: "Lily is really a good girl. She is so disgusted with Chen Li, but in order to take care of my feelings, she still accepted his existence."

It's a little bit of a pity - if it was to take care of his feelings and accept the existence of another woman by the way, that would be better.

I called Chen Li and told him about the place and asked him to go have dinner at that time.

Chen Li was a little puzzled when he received such a call, but he still agreed - they had already invited him, and if he didn't go, that would be a bit disrespectful.

You don’t have to give other people’s face, but you must give it to Yan Xin.

Ai Lili had a prejudice against him and had ignored him for more than a month. However, Yan Xin still kept in touch with him and even went to his house several times to accompany him.

After Yan Xin finished the call, Ai Lili said with a smile: "That old classmate of yours is quite beautiful, and Chen Li is still young and writes very good novels. Don't you think this meal has a chance to bring them together?"

Is it right?"

Yan Xin glanced at Ai Lili and was secretly surprised: "Is this her true intention of calling Chen Li here?"

Then she thought: "Could it be that Xiao Shiyu made her feel uneasy, so she thought of calling Chen Li over and introducing Chen Li to Xiao Shiyu to eliminate her potential threat? No way, no way.

, gentle and kind sister Lily, wouldn’t she be so scheming?”

Ai Lili asked him with a smile: "Husband, do you think so?"

Yan Xin originally wanted to say, "Chen Li is a scumbag, I can't introduce him to my classmates," but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind and said with a smile:

"When you say that, I think it makes sense. They are both so young, talented and pretty, so they are indeed quite right."

Ai Lili said: "Then we have to work hard and give it a try, maybe we can get a good marriage."

I thought to myself: "I'm sure, Yan Xin doesn't have such thoughts about his classmates, otherwise he wouldn't have answered like this - if he really had thoughts, he would definitely not introduce them to others."

Thinking this way, I feel very happy.

Seeing her so happy, Yan Xin felt that his answer was correct.

Although Chen Li is an irresponsible scumbag and is not suitable to introduce to his old classmates, his own happiness is obviously more important.

Moreover, he could have told Xiao Shiyu in private what kind of person Chen Li was, lest she be fooled.

——Chen Li and he are good friends. He does not object to Chen Li's attitude towards women and relationships, nor to Chen Li's lifestyle, but this does not mean that he can accept Chen Li harming his old classmates.

From Xiao Shiyu's perspective, a man like Chen Li who doesn't want to take responsibility is a bad person.

Of course, if it's a girl he doesn't know, he won't care what Chen Li does to her.

As long as it's not illegal, that's fine.

Because breaking the law will involve Chen Li himself.

Human beings are such selfish and complex animals.

But he still had some curiosity: "Why do you want to introduce a partner to him? Do you think there is really no possibility that he and Liang Wei will be together?"

Ai Lili shook her head: "I don't think it's possible. I also asked Liang Wei about her attitude. She said that she had given up. Two days ago, I saw on her QQ space that she was still saying that she was going to a beautiful country. She probably wanted to live in a foreign country.

Let’s start a new life in a different country. If we’re not in the same country anymore, what else is possible?”

Yan Xin suddenly realized, and after a while he sighed: "It's a pity for them."

This time I called Chen Li and Xiao Yuan, just to accompany the guests more and make it more lively.

Another point is that calling Chen Li alone seems too obvious.

Ai Lili went to ask Xiao Shiyu to have dinner, and on the way she told her about the people she was having dinner with.

One is Xiao Yuan who sings and imitates Meow, and the other is Chen Li who wrote "Fights Break the Sky" and "Shading the Sky".

Xiao Shiyu couldn't help but have an unreal feeling when she heard that one of the guests accompanying her was a very popular Internet singer and the other was a top celebrity in the Internet literary world.

Those are all nationally famous figures!

It seems that by taking this step, I have entered a very awesome circle.

On the way, Ai Lili focused on introducing Chen Li. At a young age, he has become the king of the Internet literary world. He has repeatedly broken Internet literary records. His two novels have brought over 100 million clicks. Together with online subscriptions and physical publishing,

It brought him over 10 million in income.

Xiao Shiyu couldn't help but be speechless - do Internet article authors really make that much money?

Imagine that a young man without any background could achieve this in just two years through his own hard work. It is really not easy.

To put it a bit exaggerated, it can even be regarded as a legend.

She feels quite honored to be able to meet such an awesome person.

Following Ai Lili's words, expressions of wonder appeared from time to time.

Ai Lili looked at her expression and felt happy, thinking that this matchmaker was very likely to be successful - when a girl likes a man, doesn't it start with appreciation?

From Xiao Shiyu's expression, it seems that she quite admires Chen Li, the king of Internet literature.

This is a good start.

In the introduction, she also specifically mentioned that Chen Li is still single and has no girlfriend.

However, there was nothing unusual about Xiao Shiyu's expression when she heard the news, which made her a little disappointed - shouldn't she be expressing joy at this time?

I was thinking: "Does she already have someone she likes?"

So he said carefully: "I want to ask you a question, but don't be angry."

Xiao Shiyu smiled: "What's the problem?"

Then he added: "I will definitely not be angry."

Ellie asked: "Do you have a boyfriend now?"

Xiao Shiyu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Boyfriend? We had one two years ago."

When he said this, he even had a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Are you still talking about it now?" Ally asked.

"Well, we're still talking." Xiao Shiyu said.

Suddenly, the scene of herself going to Yan Xin's home and the scene of Yan Xin coming to her home flashed in her mind, and then she said:

"We have also met each other's parents. I went to his house the year before last, and he came to my house last year."

Ai Lili looked very regretful: "Is that so? I was still thinking of introducing Chen Li to you."

But I'm still very happy.

My man's beautiful female classmate has a boyfriend, which is indeed a happy thing.

That was no ordinary boyfriend, that was a boyfriend who had met his parents. According to this description, he was almost the same as his fiancé.

It is even less likely that she has anything to do with her man.

Xiao Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Thank you Sister Lili for your kindness. But even if I don't have a boyfriend, I am not worthy of such a great writer."

"Who said that?" Ellie held her shoulders and said with a smile, "You are so beautiful and you are still a college student. There is no man in the world who is not worthy of you."

"Sister Lily made me feel embarrassed." Xiao Shiyu said with a smile.

Ellie is curious about another thing: "You have a boyfriend and you have met your parents. Why didn't he come with you this time?"

"He has his own affairs, and in a few days, we will meet in Pengcheng." Xiao Shiyu said.

Ellie said oh.

I thought to myself: "Her boyfriend is quite generous. With such a beautiful girlfriend, he can still let her stay alone with her male classmates."

I wanted to ask, but I swallowed the words as soon as they reached my lips.

Maybe they are a couple with open hearts and absolutely trust each other?

That is a pure child who is still studying.

Thinking back to when she was in college, she didn't have those messy thoughts in her mind.

Now that people are in that age, their minds are pure and they don't think about the evils of human nature. They don't have so many scheming thoughts and don't have so many precautions. This is completely understandable.

Thinking of this, I feel a little ashamed - I am actually using the mentality of an adult who has been in society for a few years to speculate on the pure feelings of young men and women. It is really dirty.

I'm embarrassed to ask this question - asking it will only make me look dirty and make others think dirty.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Chen Li and Xiao Yuan were already there.

Chen Lizheng and Yan Xin were chatting and laughing. When they saw Ai Lili coming in, their smiles froze, and then they put on a fake smile and said hello.

There was nothing unusual about Madoka, and she greeted Ellie with a smile.

Ai Lili was also smiling and seemed very enthusiastic. She greeted them all and then introduced Xiao Shiyu to them.

This time when I faced Chen Li, I no longer had the dissatisfaction I had a month ago. I even asked him with a smile how he was doing, and told him to come over and have dinner together when I had time.

After a few minutes, Chen Li made sure that Ai Lili did not dislike him, and his expression became natural, and he began to talk and laugh.

However, he had no communication with Xiao Shiyu and only said a few words casually.

He also knows what kind of person he is and what kind of image he has in the minds of Yan Xin and Ai Lili.

Although Yan Xin's female classmate is quite beautiful and fits his taste, he doesn't want to pursue her.

If they really get together, he can already guess what the result will be.

Anyway, he doesn't want to be bound by marriage, let alone have children. As long as he is a normal woman, being with him will only lead to a breakup.

When the time comes, you will have to let down one more person.

Moreover, it would offend a friend like Yan Xin, so it would be really not worth it.

——He chose that way of life, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know that his way of life is incorrect.

In fact, he doesn't want to let anyone down, he just wants to pursue his own happiness.

So subjectively, he doesn't want to harm women from good families, and he doesn't want to get involved with those girls with traditional ideas. When the time comes, they will be hurt, and he will also get a bad reputation.

No matter what it was, it was not what he had in mind.

What he prefers are money-worshiping women who are spurned by this society, and those half-dressed young ladies.

Everyone gets what they need, everyone is happy, and no one has the problem of letting anyone down.

Xiao Shiyu is beautiful, but there are so many beautiful girls in the world. He is also a man who has achieved the achievement of killing a hundred people. He has met many beautiful girls, so he will not get excited when he sees a beautiful girl.

, to rush to pursue.

Not only did he not pursue it, he even deliberately kept a certain distance from Xiao Shiyu.

——This is to avoid Yan Xin and Ai Lili from misunderstanding him.

However, he and Xiao Shiyu still added QQ to each other. This was Xiao Shiyu's initiative. Out of politeness, he had to agree to such a request.

Xiao Shiyu not only added Chen Li as a QQ friend, but also added Xiao Yuan as a QQ friend.

I still feel a little proud in my heart - I have met the top masters in the online literary world and also met a popular online singer. To achieve this achievement, it is already worth going out this time.

This meal cost Yan Xin more than a thousand yuan. For five people, the average cost per person was only two to three hundred yuan, which was not very luxurious.

If it was too expensive, Xiao Shiyu would probably be embarrassed.

It's too cheap and seems rude.

The overall atmosphere of the meal was quite joyful, and Xiao Shiyu felt the enthusiasm of the people in Yangcheng - but in fact, none of the people here were locals in Yangcheng, and everyone came from all over.

The one closest to Yangcheng is Ai Lili. The others are not only not from Yangcheng, they are not even from this province.

However, there is a high probability that they will settle here in the future and become the new Yangcheng people.

If they have children, their children are locals.

During the meal, Xiao Yuan also sang a meowing song, and Xiao Shiyu recorded it on her mobile phone, planning to share it with her classmates when she returns to school and show off her network of contacts.

If a few people are together and chatting while eating, the meal will take a long time.

After the meal was finished and the show ended, Aili looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to go to work in the afternoon.

She wanted to send Xiao Shiyu home to continue resting, but Xiao Shiyu refused.

Xiao Shiyu came here just to learn about the economic development of this super first-tier city and see if there are any opportunities.

This requires on-the-ground understanding.

It would be pointless to sleep at home every day.

She had already prepared a guide for where she needed to go and wrote it down in a notebook. Now she wanted to learn about it one by one.

He told Ellie what he thought, and then they separated at the door of the restaurant.

Yan Xin and Ai Lili went to work in the company, while Xiao Shiyu went for a walk in the city alone to complete his planned trip.

On the way to work, Ai Lili couldn't help but sigh to Yan Xin: "The little girl today is really amazing. She is still in college, and she works so hard. She doesn't have to rest at home on a hot day, and she still has to go out to do research."

Yan Xin asked with a smile: "Didn't you do any research when you were in college?"

"Yes, I did, but it was a task assigned by the school. You can just sit there for a while. She is not as serious as she is." Ai Lili said.

Then he said with a smile: "Are the girls there working very hard? The girl you are cooperating with to open an e-commerce company has been in business since she was in high school. This one is only a sophomore, and she is also working so hard. This is

Isn’t that the folk custom in your place?”

Yan Xin shook his head: "They are relatively rare over there. Some people will work very hard, but they are also forced by life, not because they want to work hard subjectively. People like them who also want to work hard subjectively, in

They are rare everywhere, and most people live a mediocre life."

"For example, you, right?" Aili smiled and glanced at him.

Yan Xin also smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am essentially a very lazy person. As long as I can get by, I won't work hard."

His life is pretty rough now. If Xiao Shiyu hadn't come over and he wanted to avoid suspicion in front of Ai Lili, he wouldn't have gone to work. Instead, he would have passed the time at home, blowing on the air conditioner and surfing the Internet.

Although I sometimes do some things, I don't make myself work too hard, and I won't give myself a big problem and then solve it brute force.

When faced with a problem, his usual attitude is to avoid it.

Even though I know it’s difficult to do things like treading two boats, I still have to do it.

In other matters, he always retreated when faced with difficulties and stayed far away.

Ai Lili also mentioned another question to him: "Your old classmate has a boyfriend, did you know?"

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment.

He really doesn't know.

I have always been in contact with Xiao Shiyu, but I have never heard her talk about this matter.

I had never heard of it in my previous life, and I have never heard of it in this life.

Now that I hear Ellie say this, I feel a little sour in my heart for no reason.

After all, this old classmate was the one who once played his girlfriend.

Ai Lili looked at his expression and was stunned for a moment: "Why, don't you know about this? She and her boyfriend have been dating for two years, and they have met each other's parents. As her classmate, you have a close relationship.

It’s great, but you don’t know?”

"I know, many students in the class know it." Yan Xin made it up casually.

Thinking about what Aili said about meeting each other's parents, and about Xiao Shiyu's visit to his house and his visit to Xiao Shiyu's house, she suddenly thought: "The boyfriend she is talking about...can't be referring to me.

Bar?"

I felt a little pretentious, but also thought it was possible. I felt very complicated for a while.

But now, he can only coax Ellie.

Ellie was even more surprised: "Then why did you act so strange just now?"

"No," Yan Xin said with a smile, "What's strange to me is, how long have you known each other, and she told you such a private matter? We only found out about it last year, and she didn't admit it at first.

"

Ai Lili said oh, and then her doubts were cleared, and then she said with a smile: "What's the point? I'm very popular."

Yan Xin thought to himself: "This woman is quite easy to coax, she will believe whatever she says."

Then he sighed to himself: "If Feng Xi is so easy to coax, then what else do I have to worry about? Don't say that you have two boats, you have three boats, you can have four boats."
