Qu Heng's question can be said to be quite straightforward.
He has always been decent, and he is very considerate of other people's feelings. To ask such a straightforward question already shows to some extent that the matter itself is beyond Qu Heng's acceptance range.
At the same time, it can be heard from his tone that he hates Long Defei and doesn't want to get involved with him at all.
Xue Xue did not immediately answer the question.
Her silence made Qu Heng guess.
"Is it because of your boyfriend?"
"… Um."
Although the sound is small, the room is not big, so it becomes clear when it reverberates.
Qu Heng frowned.
"Who is your boyfriend? How could he have anything to do with Long Defei?" Seeing Xue Xue's embarrassed face, he also realized that his tone was too aggressive, so he slowed down his speech. "I know you'll think I'm a dick, meddling in my own business, but Long Defei...is different from ordinary people."
In the last sentence, Qu Heng considered his choice of words.
He didn't know how much Xue Xue, who had the memory of Xue Siyuan's previous life, knew Long Defei.
Including the viciousness and madness of men.
But these, Xue Xue could not tell the other party, so she still kept silent.
"Siyuan." Qu Heng sighed. "Long Defei and you are people from two worlds. If your boyfriend really has a relationship with him, whether it's good or bad, I hope you will think twice."
He paused.
"This is also my warning as a friend, I hope you will not feel that you are overstepping the rules."
Hearing this, Xue Xue looked up at the other party.
She knew that Qu Heng was a good person.
In my previous life, I silently guarded Xue Siyuan, accompanied her through the most difficult time, and resolutely chose to let her go when I might put her in a dilemma. No matter my heart or character, there is no doubt about it.
If it wasn't because he couldn't think of a better way, Xue Xue would not ask for help.
Qu Heng is a low-key person. Although his family background is unusual, few people know about it.
But when a friend is in trouble, he will not hesitate to help.
There is no need to drag such a person into irrelevant troubles, Xue Xue has always warned himself this way.
Although sometimes the development of things may not necessarily go according to the ideal script.
"I don't think you're overstepping the bounds, senior."
"On the contrary, I am very grateful to you for helping me without saying a word when I don't know the cause and effect."
"My boyfriend is actually the last person who doesn't want to have anything to do with Long Defei, but Long Defei obviously doesn't think so."
"I don't know if it's persecution paranoia or something." Xue Xue shrugged, trying to make her tone sound more relaxed. "He doesn't trust his partner, and always feels that she can't let go of her ex-boyfriend. What's more unfortunate is that the man who makes Long Defei suspicious happens to be my boyfriend."
Hearing this, Qu Heng was taken aback.
He didn't expect that there was such a relationship behind it.
"You mean... your boyfriend is the ex-boyfriend of Long Defei's partner, and he suspects that his partner and ex-boyfriend are broken and entangled?"
"Yes."
"Hmm..." Qu Heng hesitated to speak. "That… "
"Senior has something to say, but it doesn't matter."
"Is it possible that your boyfriend..."
Even if the words were vague, Xue Xue quickly understood what Qu Heng meant.
She shook her head.
"My boyfriend is fine."
Now that we have talked about this point, if Qu Heng questioned it again, it would appear to be ill-intentioned.
There is no way for outsiders to intervene in this kind of thing.
Looking at Xue Xue's firm eyes, Qu Heng felt empty in his heart, but he quickly suppressed this untimely emotion.
"I see." He lowered his eyelids and took the initiative to bring the topic back on track. "The dragon has to fly him..."
The aroma of coffee is scattered, flowing in the air accompanied by music.
In the afternoon on weekdays, except for the free college students and the office workers who come out to fish, there are not many people, which makes the space of the coffee shop more spacious and open.
Xu Xingzhi handed the kraft paper bag to Peng Yunchen who was sitting opposite.
Kraft paper bags have little thickness, but are valuable.
"Brother can only help you with this."
Peng Yunchen nodded.
"Thanks."
Xu Xingzhi made a "tsk".
"You're welcome."
Although the two often argue with each other, and they are completely different in many aspects of life philosophy and daily habits, they hit it off by accident, and they have the feeling of being called the best bad friend.
"That's right." After Xu Xingzhi lowered his head and sipped his coffee, he thought of another thing. "Your parents..."
"Huh?" Peng Yunchen put the kraft paper bag into the briefcase. "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, are you still in touch with them now?"
"Occasionally, call to say hello."
"Hey." Xu Xingzhi felt that it was not appropriate to inquire about other people's family affairs, but he couldn't bear his curiosity. "Didn't they treat An'an well before? Seeing her as a daughter, I'm afraid that if she finds your parents then... you understand?"
"Understood." Peng Yunchen laughed. "But you think too much. They know about our breakup, and they also know about Ying An's finding a new partner. It's not possible."
"What's more..." Peng Yunchen paused. "They can't affect me."
"Whether they agree or disagree, the future of Xue Xue and I has nothing to do with them."
