Chapter 250: Development will Make Things Better
Gu Fan had not chased after her for long when he saw a guy holding a bouquet of flowers, smiling towards Lin Xi, making a confession. Lin Xi stood there, stumped, unsure of how to react.
The guy forcefully shoved the bouquet into Lin Xi’s hands, obviously hoping that she would agree to be his girlfriend.
Gu Fan quickly walked up to the guy, slung an arm around his shoulders, and acted like they were close friends. "Buddy, I must admit I admire your fearlessness. As her ex, I can give you some good advice: the deeper you love someone, the more painful it is when you get hurt. I’m still feeling the pangs." Gu Fan then put on a show of touching his chest, pretending to be in pain.
Lin Xi rolled her eyes, annoyed by Gu Fan’s speech, which made her out to be an emotional cheat.
The guy who had just confessed was quite embarrassed. He glanced at Gu Fan, back at Lin Xi, and noticing the challenging stares they were giving each other, he had an odd realization: "Are you two really broken up?"
"Of course we’re broken up, it’s public knowledge by now. But I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of us getting back together." Gu Fan barely finished speaking when he noticed Lin Xi freeze, her eyes flashing as if a ray of light had passed.
"Who wants to get back together with you?" Lin Xi pretended to look angry, then turned to the guy and said: "I don’t have a bad first impression of you. It’s not that there’s no possibility between us. How about this, invite me out for dinner and a movie tonight, I’ll see how you perform."
"Really?" The guy was so happy he almost cheered, but was doused by Gu Fan’s cold water: "Don’t get too excited, mate. By the time the appointed time comes, you’ll discover that not only her is coming, but also her roommates. Four of them against you, they will devise all sorts of inhumane ways to test you. You need to be careful and responsive to each one of them. If they think you’re useless, they’ll cut ties, if they think you’re weak, cut ties, too obedient, cut ties, too chauvinistic, cut ties, boring, cut ties, if they think you’re not frugal when you drink yogurt because you don’t use a lid, cut ties, if they think you’re not generous enough, cut ties. In short, if you can’t please all four of them, I’m afraid you’ll be left with nothing."
Upon hearing this, the guy looked stunned, then asked: "So, how did you win her over in the first place?"
