Chapter 6 : He doesn't make me happy, nor do I make him happy

Xu Lian didn't notice Xiang ChangKong. She ran for half an hour before returning to her home. After taking a shower she opened her fridge to see what she could eat. Her fridge was designed to match her kitchen decorations and was a large fridge with two doors. She remembered the salesperson saying that she could probably fit a small supermarket in it.

But Xu Lian was someone who loved cooking cup noodles the most, so her fridge regularly didn't hold much. She took out a sandwich she had bought yesterday and an orange to juice. She planned to have a sandwich and some orange juice for breakfast today.

Before she could start squeezing the juice, her cell phone on the counter rang twice. Xu Lian looked at the screen and saw that it was a message from Wei YiChen.

Wei YiChen: I'm picking you up to have breakfast together.

Xu Lian: Don't go out to eat, just eat at my house.

Wei YiChen: You actually have food? Did you order takeaway?

Xu Lian glanced at the screen and didn't reply. She put down the sandwich and went back to the fridge to take out a vacuum-sealed yellow cake.

When Wei YiChen arrived, Xu Lian had just finished steaming the yellow cake. He went into the kitchen and sniffed: "What did you steam, it smells good."

Xu Lian: "Before Zhang GuoEr gave me some fruit cake, a specialty of her hometown. I took it out specially just for you."

"Really?" Wei YiChen grabbed the packaging from the counter and saw the expiration date: "This is expiring today!"

Xu Lian acted as if she didn't know, saying: "Really? What a coincidence. Then you came at the right time."

Wei YiChen: "..."

He understood that she saw the expiration date and thought it was a pity to throw away so she asked him to come over.

Although the yellow cakes were expired, it still tasted good. Sweet, waxy and glutinous, the most important thing was the filling. After eating three pieces, Xu Lian felt full.

She took a sip of her orange juice and asked Wei YiChen who was sitting opposite to her: "Did you go home and meet with Uncle Wei last night?"

Wei YiChen smirked as he replied: "Yeah, he saw me looking like a ghost, then I performed an air guitar show just for him."

Xu Lian took another sip of her juice and said, "Your rebellious phase is quite long."

She and Wei YiChen met in high school. To be more precise, it was more Wei YiChen targeting her during high school. When she met him Wei YiChen was already sporting the bad boy look, and many people were supporting him. But Xu Lian just wasn't interested. She was described as 'too lonely and unsocial' since she was young, but she simply felt that she was more straightforward and transparent than others.

Once you become more intimate with another person, your relationship with them would just become more and more troublesome, with contradictions emerging one after the other. She didn't like to deal with troublesome things, so she simply kept her distance. There always seemed to be an invisible line between people and Xu Lian never tried to cross this boundary. She had known Wei YiChen for many years now, and their relationship looks very good, but in Xu Lian's heart, she had firmly stayed on the other side of this invisible line.

Wei YiChen smiled at her words: "If you can't do what you want to do, then what's the point of living?"

"Doesn't it make sense to enter Uncle Wei's company? You can be a high-ranking leader the moment you go."

"Of course it doesn't make sense! He doesn't make me happy, nor do I make him happy!"

Xu Lian let that sink in for a while before nodding: "Nn."
