Ch.269 Mn. He knew that Yin Liuyue liked him. (2)

To Chen Junxing, blind dates are like a fantasy story, unrealistic. He found it funny how people expected two people that knew nothing about each other to become interested and invested in one another just after one meeting.

He asked in a serious tone, but Yin Liuyue found the question strange. “Because I don’t have a boyfriend and my family is anxious to get me married. If I don’t go on blind dates, how am I supposed to get a partner?”

Chen Junxing seemingly believed her and nodded. He poured cold water on her, “But your blind dates don’t seem that good.”

Yin Liuyue felt stabbed. “It’s fine. I’ll be able to find someone I like probably after a few more times.”

Chen Junxing lightly smiled. “Mhm, you’re quite optimistic.”

Yin Liuyue looked up at him, in deep thought. Then, she lowered her head to eat, staying silent.

She didn’t understand why he was sitting here and eating with her.

She also didn’t understand why he didn’t ask about her. He clearly heard her talking to Ou Yang about him, no? Since he knows that she likes him, why didn’t he ask about it?

Yin Liuyue finished this tasteless meal absent-mindedly. When it was over, she wanted to pay, but the waiter said that it had already been paid for. She turned around to look at Chen Junxing and he just returned her gaze.

Yin Liuyue found it embarrassing, so she hurriedly said, “I’ll treat you out next time.”

Who knew that Chen Junxing rejected her directly. “It’s okay. I don’t think we’ll see each other in the future anyway.”

He pushed the door and left the restaurant. Yin Liuyue watched as he walked ahead of her, and she subconsciously called out, “Wait!”

“Hm?” Chen Junxing stopped and looked at her.

“I…you…” Yin Liuyue originally wanted to question why he pretended like he heard nothing when he did.

She also wanted to tell him that she had in fact liked him for many years.

She really wanted to ask if she could pursue him too.

Even if it didn’t work out in the end. At least let her try.

However, her words got stuck in her mouth when she encountered his deep gaze. She took a step back.

After seeing the faint translucent glow in her eyes and hearing her silence, Chen Junxing still asked out of kindness, “You need something?”

“No…nothing.” Yin Liuyue tugged the corner of her lips up fakely.

After seeing that he left, the smile on her face gradually faded.

She knew that Chen Junxing was smart. When he chose to turn a deaf ear, it meant that he didn’t care.

“Yin Liuyue, as expected, you shouldn’t be fantasizing about your adonis.”

In the next few days, Yin Liuyue still lived a normal life. She went to work and got off work as usual. Additionally, she still attended blind dates. However, even she became suspicious of what was going on after a few failed attempts.

Today, she went to shop alone. While looking at clothes, she sent Ou Yang a message. Who knew that she accidentally bumped into the person ahead.

Yin Liuyue only got time to see the pink corner of a woman’s skirt. While saying sorry, she helped her pick up her shopping bags.

Instead of helping her, she actually crossed her arms over her chest and raised her chin when Yin Liuyue delivered the shopping bags to her, saying in an arrogant and overbearing tone, “Are you blind?! You just bumped right into me! Can you assume the responsibility if I fall because of you?”

Yin Liuyue blinked her eyes, speechless. “Miss, it’s my fault for looking at my phone while walking. However, I already apologized to you. Plus, I even helped you pick up everything that dropped on the ground. I don’t think you need to speak that rudely.”
