Chapter 1 Blind Date Disaster
We stared at each other, wide-eyed.
The man I was supposed to meet looked stunned.
“You two… know each other?”
Sheng Yi and I locked eyes.
“No.”
“Yes.”
The man I was supposed to meet laughed at our messed-up sync.
He stood, politely shook Sheng Yi’s hand.
“Since you two already know each other, I won’t interfere.”
“Wait—”
I started to stand, but Sheng Yi pushed me back into my seat.
His gaze was cold; he loomed over me.
“Jiang Si, you’ve been real hard to find!”
I swallowed the half piece of Braised Pork in my mouth and looked up at him hopefully.
“Um… can I keep eating? I’m not full yet.”
“Heh!”
Sheng Yi let go as if deflating and sat across from me.
Well then, don’t mind if I do.
I transferred the meal money to the man I was supposed to meet on my phone, then picked up my chopsticks and cleared the rest of the Braised Pork from the plate.
“Are you full now?”
“Burp~” I let out a satisfied hiccup and patted my round belly. “Yup, full.”
“Good.”
“Then… bye!”
I grabbed my bag and bolted.
I even pushed the serving cart into the aisle to block him.
I hadn’t gone far when his furious shout echoed behind me.
“Jiang Si, you liar! Thief! Give me back what’s mine!!!”
Every head in the restaurant turned toward me.
I ran even faster.
Legs, move! If I didn’t run now, I’d never get away.
I dashed out of the restaurant and sprinted two more blocks.
Only then did I stop, clutching my stomach.
Bad idea.
Running right after stuffing myself—my stomach hurt.
How did I even run into him here?
Turns out seeing an ex again isn’t just in movies.
Art really does come from life.
I glanced back toward the restaurant and pressed my lips together.
Tears spilled over.
“Sheng Yi, I’m sorry!”
