Chapter 1287 - 1201: Falling for Someone Is Like an Illness (Part 2)

So she picked up her phone and called her. He Meisui answered quickly, and the first thing she said was, "Nuannuan, something’s happened, Xiao Ning’s been blocked at her door by Wang Sai!"

...

Shi Nuan rushed to the area near Ou Xiaoning’s place, and the first person she saw was He Meisui.

He Meisui had driven over to pick up Ou Xiaoning, but as soon as she arrived she saw Wang Sai and Ou Xiaoning a short distance away.

She didn’t dare go over right away, so she could only watch from afar, not knowing what to do.

He Meisui said, "Seriously, Wang Sai... we finally managed to get a few of us together for once, and now look, he’s going to ruin it!"

Shi Nuan saw that Wang Sai seemed to be saying something to Ou Xiaoning, while Ou Xiaoning had her gaze turned to the side, looking elsewhere, ignoring him.

From what Shi Nuan knew, Wang Sai wasn’t exactly the eloquent type. With Ou Xiaoning acting like this, she clearly wasn’t planning on forgiving him that easily. No matter how much he explained, it was probably useless.

Shi Nuan was about to step forward when He Meisui grabbed her and pulled her back. He Meisui said, "You’d better not step in for now. I’m afraid this is about to get complicated!"

Shi Nuan blinked, puzzled.

He Meisui said, "Remember that so-called first love of Wang Sai’s? The one who looks a bit like Xiao Ning? I just saw her. She clearly came over with Wang Sai, but she didn’t go up. I noticed the way she was looking at him—that is not how a normal friend looks. This woman, I’d say there’s an eighty percent chance she’s got feelings for him..."

Shi Nuan froze for a second. She hadn’t expected that just when the two of them finally showed signs of thawing, something like this would pop up.

He Meisui said, "That’s why relationships are really hard to explain sometimes. Missing your chance because of a single misstep happens all the time. Now I just hope that if Wang Sai and Xiao Ning really still have each other in their hearts, they’ll still end up together. After all, it’s been so many years..."

Shi Nuan glanced at the two of them not far away and asked He Meisui, "So what do we do now? We can’t just stand here waiting forever!"

He Meisui shrugged. "I’m wracking my brains too. This one’s beyond me!"

Shi Nuan pressed her lips together and said, "Let’s go over. We’ll at least talk Wang Sai into going home first!"

He Meisui blinked. Before she could react, she already saw Shi Nuan walking toward Ou Xiaoning and Wang Sai.

She hurriedly called out, "Nuannuan, wait for me!"

Then she quickly ran after her.

By the time the two of them got there, Wang Sai was still trying to explain. Listening to him, Shi Nuan couldn’t help but sigh. How could he be this stupid?

His explanation, over and over, boiled down to him thinking that Ou Xiaoning didn’t believe him, but that wasn’t the case. Ou Xiaoning was just angry about something else, that was all.

Who wouldn’t be mad? No matter what they’d been through or how hard things got, if it’s real love, you shouldn’t be giving up that easily, right?

Shi Nuan said, "Wang Sai, give Xiao Ning some time to cool down."

Wang Sai turned to look at the two of them, his brows furrowed deeply. "But..."

"We’re here with her. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to Xiao Ning."

Wang Sai gave Shi Nuan a look, then finally let out a sigh. He said to Ou Xiaoning, "Xiao Ning, I’ll come find you again. I’m not going to give up on you. This time, I absolutely won’t."

Ou Xiaoning’s eyelashes trembled, but in the end she said nothing. Wang Sai turned and left quickly.

Lv Nan Nan called very soon after. He Meisui and the others didn’t even have time to process their emotions before they pulled Ou Xiaoning into the car and went to meet Lv Nan Nan.

The gathering was at a bar-style restaurant that He Meisui had picked out.

Bar-style naturally meant there was alcohol, and that day, Ou Xiaoning was in a bad mood, and He Meisui didn’t seem much better either. The two of them drank quite a bit.

What was supposed to be a cheerful little get-together suddenly turned into this. To be honest, Shi Nuan could only sigh as well.

But there was a small pleasant surprise too. That night, the bar-restaurant was running a special event, and their little private room turned out to be a "lucky room," so each of them received a small gift from the house.

The small gifts were wrapped very delicately. Curious what it was, He Meisui was the first to open hers.

She opened it and froze for a moment. "Oh my god, cufflinks? And men’s cufflinks at that. What do a bunch of girls like us need cufflinks for?"

Then she looked at the card inside and understood. They wanted you to give them to your boyfriend or to the person you secretly liked!

He Meisui frowned. "This is ridiculous. But the cufflinks do look quite unique. I’ve never seen any like these on the market."

"They were personally designed by the restaurant owner’s wife. It says so on the back!" Lv Nan Nan had also opened her little gift box as she spoke.

He Meisui flipped the card over, and sure enough, it was written there.

"These cufflinks are really nicely designed. They look like they’re worth a few hundred at least. And our bill here tonight is only just over a thousand. Tsk tsk, we scored."
