After Losing My Memory, I Went After My Archenemy - Chapter 6.1

Anyone with normal hearing and a normal brain could sense the hidden displeasure in Lin Xi’s words. Chi Xiao asked with a slight look of innocence, “Hey Old Lin, it’s just asking you to look at a beautiful woman together, do you really have such a big problem with it?!”

Lin Xi: “…”

Her face visibly darkened by a few more shades.

“Come on, you’re a top-tier Alpha, are you really sexually incompetent?”

“I’ve known you for so many years, and I’ve never seen you show interest in any Omega.”

“Ay, ay, ay, alright, I won’t say any more, let’s play pool, let’s play pool!”

The last sentence represented Chi Xiao’s strong desire for survival.

After a long while, Lin Xi, holding the pool cue, finally lowered her gaze and said abruptly, “Those girls you flirt with, if you don’t like them, don’t play with their feelings.”

“Heaven and earth bear witness, I have never played with anyone’s feelings. Firstly, I haven’t promised anything, and secondly, I haven’t been two-timing. Everyone is in it by mutual consent. Besides, my life philosophy has always been that life is short, and I enjoy life for the moment, enjoying dating but never marrying, you know that.”

Chi Xiao offered this explanation, not forgetting to wink at her.

Lin Xi was tired of hearing it and knew it was impossible to convince a playboy Alpha to settle down.

If they hadn’t been neighbors since childhood, she probably wouldn’t have been friends with the person at all.

Another successful shot.

Lin Xi stopped and casually asked, “Is dating really that interesting?”

“Uh… my experience might not give you too much positive guidance. After all, I mostly go for the body and not the heart. Anyway, you’ll know the taste when you experience it yourself. If you only go for the body, you’ll feel great.”

Lin Xi: “…”

Seeing her bewildered and speechless expression, Chi Xiao simply added another sentence: “If you add ‘going for the heart,’ then you have all the flavors—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy. After all, it’s love. Some find it sweet, some find it bitter, some are happy, and some are hurt. I’ve been through it once when I was young and I don’t want to again… forget it, let’s not mention the past.”

Lin Xi remained silent, her deeply furrowed brow showing a hint of contemplation.

“But seriously, I’m really curious what type you like, whether it’s an Omega, a Beta, or even an Alpha, I won’t make fun of you!” Chi Xiao asked with genuine curiosity, resting her hands on the cue.

“I don’t have… a type I like.”

With that said, Lin Xi, whose face had returned to normal, surprisingly swung the cue again, and the white ball she propelled smoothly went into the hole.

Chi Xiao knew she wouldn’t get a definitive answer and simply gave up. After all, this wasn’t the first day she had known Lin Xi, nor the first time she had asked this question.

“I need to go to the restroom. I’ll be back in a bit, and we’ll continue the game.”

Chi Xiao’s temporary departure allowed Lin Xi’s tense mind to relax. The next second, the idle Lin Xi unconsciously glanced towards the girl among the crowd at the other end.

This time, by coincidence, Xia Rou also looked over here.

It was exactly like that suddenly intersecting glance on a Wednesday dusk at school, but today, the one ‘caught in the act’ was her.

Xia Rou couldn’t believe she would run into Lin Xi in this place. At first, she thought she was seeing things, but the next second she confirmed it was her. It was just a pity that the other party didn’t give her any more time to stare.

How could Lin Xi be here?

Given all the restrictive conditions, she didn’t seem like the type of person who would appear here.

Lin Xi had long stopped looking in her direction, but after spotting her figure, Xia Rou couldn’t help but frequently cast glances over, her mind no longer focused on the prominent family members.

Precisely because of this, Xia Zhi, who had always viewed her as an eyesore in the family, noticed this unusual behavior, followed her line of sight, and discovered Lin Xi.

Although she had never interacted with her face-to-face, Xia Zhi knew this person.

After all, to defeat someone, one must thoroughly understand them. Over the years, she wouldn’t miss any information related to her cousin.

Especially this Alpha named Lin Xi, who, according to the national pheromone testing bureau’s public website, had a 100% match value with Xia Rou.

Xia Zhi was a little disgruntled. Why should such a beautiful Alpha with a 100% match value be targeted and looked down upon by Xia Rou like this?

While envying her cousin, Xia Zhi felt indignant on behalf of the other person in her heart.

She never expected to see the person herself here today. Before this, she had only learned about her based on various pieces of information gathered online.

She seemed even more beautiful than the photos available online. Her figure was tall, and her grayish-brown, shoulder-length hair looked as if it was coated with a layer of silver-gray in the sunlight, making her look noble and unattainable.

Her face was indescribable, like a work of art. Could there really be someone so perfect in this world?

The thought that even such a person was considered worthless in Xia Rou’s eyes made Xia Zhi feel even more resentful and furiously jealous.

Chi Xiao returned.

Xia Rou’s heart was even more chaotic, her mind repeatedly guessing the secondary gender of the person next to Lin Xi and what their relationship was.

“That most beautiful Omega keeps looking over at us. What’s going on?”

Even without actively paying attention, Chi Xiao couldn’t help but notice this.

Lin Xi focused on playing pool, not raising her head to answer, “Ignore her.”

Her every action was exactly like an ascetic monk in a deep temple, devoid of desires.

Crap, you must be a fake Alpha to ignore such a great beauty!

Chi Xiao swallowed the complaints that rose to her lips.

Fine, ignore her then.

“You’ll be meeting with the second son of Rongsheng Group in a moment. Do you remember the etiquette your mother taught you?”

Outside the private room on the second floor, Wu Daiyun carefully straightened her daughter’s clothes.

“I know, I know.” Xia Rou said, looking away distractedly.

The clubhouse resting area included a restaurant, sauna, massage, private cinema, and various other leisure facilities.

The restaurant area, besides the private rooms on the second floor, also had a self-service area on the first floor with a 180-degree transparent floor-to-ceiling window offering an excellent view.

Xia Rou was about to meet her blind date in the self-service restaurant on the first floor, while the family dinner was in a private room on the second floor. She didn’t understand the meaning of such an arrangement. In any case, at this moment, she was nothing more than a tool, and a tool’s mission was to set aside personal feelings and complete the task.

Sitting alone by the window and waiting, Xia Rou first scanned the first floor but did not find Lin Xi. Had she already left?

Just then, a man with a distinct appearance, dressed in a suit, looking like a typical businessman, appeared in her sight.

As soon as the man entered the door, he looked around, with a somewhat naive and indescribably lewd look, mainly due to the subjective impression given by his face.

Except for being an Alpha, his appearance and physique were completely unsuited for an Alpha.

Xia Rou’s back stiffened. She subconsciously sat up straighter, wondering in her heart, It can’t be this guy, can it?

One step, two steps, the businessman quickly found her and walked over with a smile.

No wonder her uncle had specifically reminded her before going downstairs that one shouldn’t judge people solely by their appearance, as character was more important.

Was he laying the groundwork here?

She wasn’t so desperate, was she…?

“You must be Miss Xia Rou? May I sit here?” The second son of Rong politely asked, leaning in.

Xia Rou smiled and nodded lightly, praying in her heart that this whole thing would end quickly.

“Actually, I’ve heard of your great reputation for a long time. The most beautiful of the four young ladies of Linlu—it’s truly not false, hehehehe…”

When the man laughed, he revealed a set of uneven teeth, instantly ruining Xia Rou’s appetite for lunch.

“Today, you and I both know this is just a commercial meeting to satisfy our families. Let’s symbolically have a meal and then end it.”

Xia Rou decided not to look at the other person’s face and lowered her head to take a sip of orange juice.

“No, no, no, I genuinely like you. You are too beautiful. If I could marry you, you’d be the boss after marriage. Whatever you say, I’ll listen. Whatever you want, you can have. I can give you everything I have.” The man urgently countered, nearly spraying saliva into the dish.

Xia Rou seemed to have experienced this kind of conversation many times before, usually with Alphas or Betas who confessed to her on campus. They all said they were willing to give her everything, except they weren’t as wealthy as this Second Son Rong. The script was almost identical.

“But I don’t want to get married yet. My current focus is on my studies,” Xia Rou politely refused.

“It’s alright. I can wait for you to graduate, or we can get engaged first…”

At this point, Xia Rou couldn’t listen anymore. Her good manners prevented her from flipping the table on the spot.

Just then, she received a message from her mother on her phone. The content was: [After lunch, your father and I will go to the next location with your uncle and them. You will not be going with us. Your uncle wants you to stay and spend more time with the second son of Rongsheng.]

Xia Rou: ?

Feeling close to a breakdown, she maintained a calm expression and typed: [I don’t like him. Besides, what am I supposed to do or spend time doing with him?]

From her mother: [You can go shopping or watch a movie in the city. It’s fine if you come home a bit late today.]

Seeing this, Xia Rou completely lost the desire to reply.

Presumably, the Second Son Rong had also received the news. He looked at her foolishly and innocently with a smile, asking, “After we finish eating, what do you want to do, Xia Rou? I’ll accompany you.”

Xia Rou: …

Meanwhile, the dinner upstairs was coming to an end. Xia Zhi, who finally found an opportunity to slip away, deliberately came to the first floor, preparing to watch her sister’s excitement.
