After Losing My Memory, I Went After My Archenemy - Chapter 15
“Just go with the flow, go with the flow… Shen Miao, what do you think this actually means?”
Xia Rou, who hadn’t thought much of it at the time, was later starting to feel distressed.
“I think you shouldn’t overthink it. Going with the flow means agreeing to be friends with you, at least that’s what I think,” Shen Miao said.
Is that so?
When the class ended, Xia Rou tore up the draft paper covered in the four characters for ‘go with the flow,’ crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into the trash can as she walked out of the classroom without looking back.
“Someone is looking for me? Who is it?”
Before she could even leave the academic building, Xia Rou was stopped by a Beta female classmate from her department.
The female classmate shook her head. “It’s a very good-looking Alpha.” She then quickly left.
A very good-looking Alpha… Lin Xi?
Her face flashed in Xia Rou’s mind, and she immediately stepped forward excitedly.
There are several coffee shops on campus, but the most popular among students is the one located on the first floor of the Foreign Languages Department building. It is said that the owner personally brought back the coffee beans from several famous coffee producing areas abroad.
It wasn’t far for Xia Rou to get there from her classroom, but she was inevitably a little curious why Lin Xi would suddenly ask her out, and her heart felt uneasy.
Unexpectedly, the moment she stepped into the coffee shop, the confusion in her heart was resolved.
A female Alpha sitting in a seat inside waved at her. She was indeed very good-looking, with delicate features and fashionable attire, looking like a magazine model sitting there from a distance.
But it wasn’t Lin Xi.
“What have you been busy with lately? You look much more haggard.”
The female Alpha considerately pushed the dessert that the waiter had just served over to Xia Rou.
“What can I be busy with? But you, why did you suddenly come to school to find me?” Xia Rou asked, taking a sip of coffee.
The Alpha paused, a fleeting sense of loss in her eyes, and said with a smile, “I thought you’d be happy after not seeing each other for so long!”
Xia Rou rolled her eyes at her. “I’ve been so worried lately…”
“Oh? Did something happen?”
“Don’t even mention it,” Xia Rou waved her hand.
“Hey, wait a minute!” Passing by the Foreign Languages Department building, Shen Xuan suddenly grabbed Lin Xi’s arm.
Lin Xi was confused. As she inadvertently turned her head, her gaze fell upon the two people inside the coffee shop’s window on the first floor.
“Isn’t that Li Luoyi? The only Alpha among the four famous young ladies of Lincang. Her family and Xia Rou’s family are family friends. The two of them went to aristocratic schools together since childhood until college… Hey, Lin Xi, why are you leaving?”
Before Shen Xuan could finish speaking, the Alpha had already walked away with long strides, her face slightly dark.
After finally catching up, Shen Xuan continued tactlessly, “That Li Luoyi seems to have always liked Xia Rou. Could it be that Xia Rou is publicly claiming to be pursuing you on the campus forum, but has actually already secretly arranged something with Li Luoyi?”
“…Are you done talking?”
Lin Xi lifted her eyelids and looked at the person next to her, a bit out of patience.
Shen Xuan was forced to be silent. Although she didn’t know how she had annoyed her, she simply changed the subject and asked, “By the way, why was that post blocked last night? I accidentally fell asleep and forgot to follow the subsequent developments.”
“How would I know,” Lin Xi said lightly, then turned the corner into the building in front of her, her visibly quickened pace deliberately intended to shake off the person behind her.
Shen Xuan stood there, puzzled. This girl seemed to be angry?
“That Li Luoyi seems to have always liked Xia Rou…”
Throughout the rest of the day, the scene in the coffee shop window and this sentence kept flashing in Lin Xi’s mind, unable to be erased.
Other Alphas liking Xia Rou, what did that have to do with her.
Thinking of this, the pen in her hand was unconsciously gripped tighter and tighter, until her fingertips turned red from the force, and the blue veins on the back of her hand slightly bulged.
Lin Xi suddenly released her grip, feeling slightly surprised.
“Oh, isn’t that Xia Rou?”
Hearing the conversation of classmates behind her, Lin Xi turned her head immediately, thinking she had arrived.
It turned out to be just two girls huddling together looking at their phones.
The moment Lin Xi looked back, they both looked up, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward.
The next second, without saying anything, Lin Xi turned back as if nothing had happened.
The two girls looked at each other, not knowing why, wanting to ask but not daring to.
After buying a bottle of water at the school convenience store, Shen Miao hadn’t walked far when she met someone head-on and naturally stopped.
“You’re here to find Xia Rou, right!”
Shen Miao smiled and stepped forward.
“I’m looking for you,” Li Luoyi smiled gently.
The two found a place to sit and chat. After listening to Li Luoyi’s purpose for coming, Shen Miao fell into contemplation.
“Is it very difficult? If it is, I won’t insist.”
Shen Miao shook her head with a complicated expression. “It’s not hard to arrange for you to meet her, but… the current situation is a bit special.”
“Did something happen?” Li Luoyi asked.
“No, leave it to me,” Shen Miao patted her chest.
Shen Miao knew that Li Luoyi was in love with Xia Rou, and her motivation for helping was also easy to explain. If Xia Rou and Lin Xi didn’t work out someday, Li Luoyi would be a good partner. Not to mention the pheromone matching value, Li Luoyi didn’t lose to Lin Xi in all aspects.
After thanking her, Li Luoyi prepared to leave, but then, remembering something, she said, “I also saw Xia Rou today. Her state is a bit strange. If she is in any trouble, please don’t hide it from me.”
“Mhm…” Shen Miao nodded.
Looking at the receding figure of the other person, Shen Miao sighed deeply where she stood. It wasn’t that she didn’t think highly of Xia Rou’s pursuit of Lin Xi, but with such an excellent suitor behind her, keeping multiple options wasn’t a bad thing.
“Why do you suddenly want to take me to eat hot pot?” As soon as school was over, Xia Rou was pulled by Shen Miao and walked out of the school, taking a ride all the way to a hot pot restaurant in the city center that was quite popular among young people.
“Xia Rou, Shen Miao, you’re here. The table has already been reserved,” Li Luoyi came to the door to greet them.
Xia Rou glanced at Shen Miao, her expression a mix of surprise and helplessness, realizing that they had already made arrangements.
“I couldn’t get a hold of you, so I had to ask Shen Miao for help,” Li Luoyi’s smile was slightly bitter.
Xia Rou remembered that she had indeed refused her invitation to dinner that morning, and she awkwardly rubbed her fingers. In fact, she and Li Luoyi used to have a good and intimate relationship. Everything changed starting from the year they each differentiated into different secondary genders at the age of fifteen. Omegas, after all, are different from Alphas and need to maintain a certain distance.
“Alright, alright, stop blocking the doorway, let’s go inside and sit down,” Shen Miao quickly stepped forward to liven up the atmosphere.
“Do we absolutely have to eat hot pot?”
Lin Xi trailed behind with little interest, followed by the incessantly urging Chi Xiao.
“You don’t understand. I haven’t had authentic hot pot since I was abroad, don’t spoil my mood!”
As luck would have it, the waiter arranged for their table to be diagonally across from Xia Rou’s table.
Chi Xiao, with her social butterfly nature, didn’t care about the other two unfamiliar people at Xia Rou’s table and directly invited, “Since we are so fated, why don’t we share a table?”
Li Luoyi: “No!”
Lin Xi: “No.”
“Okay,” Xia Rou agreed without even thinking and eagerly moved her chair over.
Li Luoyi: “!”
Lin Xi: “…”
