NOVEL NEXT Chapter 183: Anxious Denial
Seeing Lin Yi with such a heavy heart, Han Xuewei couldn't help but rub his head and said, "If you have any problems, you can ask me. Why do you always look so preoccupied?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi also rubbed his head somewhat irritably.
"I'm afraid you'll be unhappy."
"But if you don't ask and say nothing, that's what makes me unhappy."
Hearing this, Lin Yi took a deep breath and held both of Han Xuewei's hands as he spoke, "Then I'll ask, but you can't get angry, okay?"
Han Xuewei laughed, looking very charming, while Lin Yi said, "You mentioned before that you had a crush on me, but back then, so many boys in school liked you, you had so many options, why did you have a crush on me?"
At this point, Lin Yi hung his head. He wasn't someone prone to self-doubt, but when faced with a girl as outstanding as Han Xuewei, he naturally reflected on his own shortcomings.
Han Xuewei was really too beautiful—it could be said that ninety percent of men who came into contact with her would take a liking to her.
After all, she was a girl both gentle and beautiful, and capable too.
Han Xuewei had naturally guessed that Lin Yi would ask this question, and with a laugh, she patted his shoulder and said, "Actually, you don't need to doubt it will definitely be you, although you might not be as handsome as those boys, but in my eyes, you have the best character and personality."
"Remember when I was a new student, as soon as I started school, you were there helping other classmates carry their luggage. Later on, I paid special attention to you. You have a good character, are very sunny and enthusiastic, and I also paid particular attention to you in class."
"I even secretly read the essays you wrote. I think you're very respectful of others, from the inside out, and don't treat people like objects, never slandering others without understanding them. With you being so wonderful, how could I not like you?!"
With these words, Han Xuewei gave Lin Yi a big hug.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately felt overjoyed and, holding Han Xuewei, said, "Really? Turns out my wife, you've hidden it so well, I didn't even notice at the time."
Han Xuewei patted his shoulder and replied, "Yeah, so many people were looking at me, why didn't you turn back and look at me!"
At these words, Lin Yi embarrassedly said, "I was too shy to look at you. I thought with so many people pursuing you, I wouldn't stand a chance at all."
"If you had looked back at me back then, who knows, we might have ended up together without that incident."
Han Xuewei smiled faintly and, hearing this, Lin Yi hugged her tightly.
"Don't worry, honey. I will work even harder to make you the happiest woman in the whole world."
"I already am the happiest person in the world."
…
At this time, Lin Jie had already driven Qin Xiaoxu over, arriving at her front door.
As his car came to a stop, Qin Xiaoxu looked up at Lin Jie and said, "Aren't you going to escort me upstairs?"
Hearing this, Lin Jie glanced at his phone, noticing it was about time, and replied, "No need, it's fine for you to go up by yourself, the buildings here are very high quality, and the elevator is quick. My friend is hurrying me..."
As Lin Jie said this, Qin Xiaoxu felt a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
She had asked Lin Jie to take her to her doorstep, which was clearly giving him an opportunity!
If someone else asked for her home address in the future, Lin Jie would know it, but there he was, just letting such an opportunity slip by!!
Lin Jie didn't say anything at the moment, except that he was in a rush, and then the car began to chug forward.
Qin Xiaoxu was standing by the roadside, her eyes wide open like brass bells. She was already somewhat annoyed—she should have dragged Lin Jie out earlier.
Feeling sulky, Qin Xiaoxu made her way upstairs on her own.
The reason Lin Jie was in such a hurry was that his friend Lin Hao had been waiting for him for quite a while, so he definitely needed to speed up.
Lin Hao got along well with him. The two often played games together. Recently, Lin Hao had been job hunting but retreated without a fight every time, leaving him no choice but to come and stay with Lin Jie.
Since Lin Hao's family wasn't from Xiangcheng and renting a place here was quite expensive without someone to share it with, he had to rely on Lin Jie.
When Lin Jie got home, he found Lin Hao leaning against his door playing a game; seeing Lin Jie return, he immediately stood up and said, "I've been looking forward to your return, bro! Let's go inside quickly; my legs are numb from squatting. You have food at home, right?"
Without any hesitation, Lin Hao continued, and Lin Jie replied, "Isn't there a Saxian Snack place downstairs? Just grab something to eat there."
Hearing this, Lin Hao simply smiled faintly, "I was worried you wouldn't find me if I left, so I just waited here for a bit. It wasn't that long."
As they spoke, Lin Jie immediately opened the door and walked in, with Lin Hao following by his side.
"I hardly cook at home; there's just some instant food. There's instant noodles over there... How about some instant noodles?"
After entering, Lin Hao dropped his suitcase to one side and went over to where Lin Jie had pointed.
He looked at a large box filled with various instant foods, self-heating hot pots, self-heating rice, and a heap of instant noodles.
Seeing this, Lin Hao was slightly taken aback, "Bro, do you usually eat this stuff??"
"Not always; occasionally, I order takeout."
At this, Lin Hao was completely dumbfounded and reluctantly picked up a box of instant noodles.
"Make one for me too; I'm also hungry."
Lin Jie said casually, and Lin Hao raised an eyebrow, "You're hungry just after returning from a party?"
"I didn't really eat; I just watched others eat at the gathering!"
As Lin Jie spoke, he couldn't help but remember Qin Xiaoxu's appearance when she was eating, stuffing her mouth full as if she couldn't get enough. She must be pretty full by now after getting back, he thought.
After a while, Lin Hao had made the instant noodles and placed them on the table, immediately moving closer to Lin Jie and said, "I heard you went to the party with your girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie corrected him, "She's a pretend girlfriend, not a real one."
"Ah, one day it will turn real!"
Lin Hao said unconcernedly, and Lin Jie felt compelled to explain, "It's because my brother and sister-in-law invited her, so I had to go with her."
There's no need to rush your explanation, "Some people can affect your emotions without you even realizing it. Who knows, maybe the two of you will actually become a thing. I often see you playing games with her. Aren't you two planning to form a CP?"
"How could that be possible! I'm just playing games with her, and even the girlfriend is pretend. Do you think there's anything real about it?"
