After Losing My Memory, I Went After My Archenemy - Chapter 6.2

Unexpectedly, she discovered Lin Xi was also in the restaurant. Her table was quite far from Xia Rou’s, and she didn’t know if Lin Xi had noticed.

Glancing at Xia Rou, who was still trying to deal with the Second Son Rong, Xia Zhi straightened her clothes and hair, then confidently walked past the man’s line of sight, deliberately heading towards Lin Xi’s table.

Lin Xi, who was chatting with Chi Xiao, didn’t even notice someone approaching until she heard someone call out with a deliberately high-pitched voice.

“Are you Senior Lin Xi?”

Lin Xi and Chi Xiao looked over together.

“So you guys know each other!” Chi Xiao recognized the pretty girl from the pool hall at a glance. She always remembered beautiful women, even if she wasn’t the prettiest one.

“I don’t know her.” Lin Xi denied it without much surprise.

“I’m a freshman who just entered school this year, so it’s understandable that you don’t know me, Senior. But you must know my sister.” Xia Zhi introduced herself with a sweet smile.

“Your sister?” Before Lin Xi could speak, Chi Xiao asked curiously.

“Yes!” Xia Zhi nodded very naturally, and even turned around and pointed in a direction, “She’s over there on a date with someone—the second son of Rongsheng Group.”

It was only then that Lin Xi noticed the person’s figure. She hadn’t even noticed her since coming in.

Having achieved her goal, Xia Zhi couldn’t stay away for too long, so she politely excused herself.

Chi Xiao, however, was left confused. “Did this girl just come over to say hello?”

Lin Xi didn’t respond, continuing to eat quietly.

“Wait a minute, she just said you knew her sister, which is the beautiful Omega we saw at the pool hall? Old Lin, you’ve been hiding pretty well!” Chi Xiao reacted belatedly.

“I didn’t say I didn’t know her.” Lin Xi spoke lightly. The ‘her’ referred to Xia Rou.

“Then you’re dishonest! You want to keep such a beautiful Omega to yourself without introducing her?” Chi Xiao grumbled.

Lin Xi glanced casually in that direction. From this angle, she could only see the other person’s back, but the male Alpha’s attentive and lewd smile was clearly visible, causing an inexplicable surge of annoyance in her heart.

“…She is the Omega with the one hundred percent pheromone match with me.”

Lin Xi was leaning back in her chair with a lazy expression when she mentioned this, appearing completely unfazed.

In a society with six genders, the meaning of a one hundred percent pheromone match was self-evident. Smart people wouldn’t choose to engage in pointless competition.

What’s more, the person in front of her was a close friend.

Chi Xiao immediately dismissed all thoughts, awkwardly picking up her teacup and taking a sip. “Oh, such an important thing, why didn’t you say so earlier.”

Lin Xi: “…”

Lin Xi had never mentioned her conflict with Xia Rou. Firstly, Chi Xiao had been abroad, and secondly, she wasn’t a blabbermouth who would easily gossip behind people’s backs.

“Then her sister—first she deliberately ran into you, then she voluntarily told you about her sister’s date with the group’s son. Thinking about it now, she seems quite ‘tea’ [manipulative/scheming].” Chi Xiao was not only good at appreciating beautiful women but also at identifying manipulative people, expressing her thoughts almost immediately.

“Then you two are a match made in heaven! Now that she’s on a date, aren’t you going to stop it?” Chi Xiao said, taking it for granted.

“Why should I stop it… I don’t like her.” Lin Xi lowered her eyes, her fingers involuntarily curling up.

Chi Xiao looked utterly exasperated and was about to continue her lecture when Lin Xi interrupted, asking, “Are you still playing pool this afternoon?”

“Oh, no. I still have some enrollment documents to organize. I need to submit them to the school next week, it’s so annoying. The internet at the place I temporarily rented is also a bit problematic. Is your place convenient?”

“Let’s go to an internet café instead.” Lin Xi said decisively, thinking of her gossipy and talkative uncle.

Lunch was over. Xia Rou received the news that her parents had left with the family. She had truly been abandoned here.

Now, having found an excuse to go to the restroom, she just wanted to find a way to shake off that troublesome blind date.

Unfortunately, Shen Miao had gone out of town with her family this weekend, and Jiang Yimian was forced to stay home to help look after her niece.

No one could save her.

Completely defeated, she pushed open the door from the cubicle and unexpectedly ran into Lin Xi, who was about to leave after washing her hands. Like seeing a lifesaver, Xia Rou rushed up and grabbed the other person’s arm.

After listening to her account, Lin Xi merely replied lightly, “Why should I do that?”

In a moment of frantic thought, Xia Rou brought up the events of last night. “Last night, at the restaurant. I need your repayment now! Can you…?”

Although she wanted to refuse and logic told her she should refuse, when Lin Xi saw the earnest and appealing face of the other person tilted up towards her, she agreed to the childish request despite her true feelings.

“Xia Rou, this is…”

When the Second Son Rong saw the person who suddenly appeared next to Xia Rou, the Alpha’s alertness and innate same-sex rivalry immediately flared up.

Xia Rou naturally linked her arm with Lin Xi’s, facing the man, and said, “I’m really sorry, my friend came to find me. Why don’t you go shopping by yourself this afternoon?”

“But your family and my family…”

“Second Son, we are all adults. We can have our own opinions. Don’t listen to everything your family says.”

After a polite wave goodbye, Xia Rou continued to walk away with Lin Xi on her arm, right in front of the man.

Lin Xi didn’t say a single word throughout, and while her posture was slightly stiff, she was generally cooperative.

They walked all the way out of the restaurant, and the Second Son Rong did not follow. Perhaps he had lost his confidence in front of Lin Xi, who was also an Alpha but possessed a top-tier appearance.

Seeing that Xia Rou had no intention of letting go, Lin Xi finally asked, slightly uncomfortably and with a deep voice, “How long are you going to hold my arm?”

“Sorry… and thank you.”

Reminded, Xia Rou quickly let go, a faint blush instantly rising to her cheeks. The fingers that had just touched the other person’s body began to nervously fidget with her skirt hem.

Lin Xi didn’t say anything, but took the initiative to stride forward.

Xia Rou, a beat late, quickly followed.

“So, what’s going on now?”

Chi Xiao, who had already called a car and was waiting in the parking lot, quietly asked when she saw the person who came with Lin Xi.

“Ignore her.”

With that, Lin Xi pulled open the car door and got in.

Chi Xiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly. How could she be so rude to a beautiful woman!

The next second, she proactively greeted Xia Rou in a friendly manner: “I’m Chi Xiao, Lin Xi’s childhood friend. I just got back from overseas recently.”

“Hello, I’m Xia Rou.”

She looked very beautiful when she smiled, especially her bright and radiant eyes.

If it weren’t for the pheromone match with Old Lin, Chi Xiao would have unceremoniously made a move.

Turning back to look at the woman in the car with the inexplicably cold face, Chi Xiao deliberately and warmly invited, “We’re going to an internet café now. Do you want to come along?”

“…Okay, can I?” Xia Rou’s tone had a hint of tentativeness and uncertainty.

“Of course, you can!”

Chi Xiao enthusiastically pulled open the back door and said, “You sit in the back with Old Lin, and I’ll take the passenger seat.”

After getting in the car, Chi Xiao saw through the rearview mirror that Lin Xi deliberately sat quite far from Xia Rou, which made her feel even more pleased.

Hate me, hate me. If you two ever get together, you’ll thank me.

Chi Xiao had been enjoying life for a long time. Although she no longer believed in love, she had to believe in the destiny of pheromones.

Especially the one-in-a-million 100% match.

That wasn’t something that could be avoided just by saying ‘I don’t like her.’

Chi Xiao and Xia Rou chatted happily throughout the journey, while Lin Xi was as taciturn as ever.

The car stopped in front of an internet café in the city center.

Lin Xi finally spoke to Xia Rou directly: “You’re free now. You don’t have to follow us.”

Xia Rou smiled brightly and said, “I’ve never been to a place like this before.”

“Yeah, let’s go in together!” Chi Xiao took the initiative to gently push her forward, not forgetting to turn around and scold Lin Xi, “What are you doing? Why are you being so unwelcoming to her?”

Lin Xi: “…”

Today’s internet cafés were different from the past, divided into various zones from bottom to top.

The open area on the first floor was a mixed bag, smoky and chaotic. The second floor was for regular private rooms and VIP private rooms, and the third floor was the even more luxurious Distinguished VIP area, with prices ten times higher than normal.

The trio arrived at a private room on the third floor. The room was spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the bustling street. One could choose to open or close the curtains.

The private room offered a free self-service fruit and beverage area, a fully automatic coffee machine, and massage chairs and other resting facilities.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chi Xiao immediately started preparing the handover documents for school. Lin Xi, unhurriedly, opened a design website and quickly became fully focused.

The idle Xia Rou quietly opened a series she hadn’t finished watching.

Staying here at least meant she didn’t have to deal with the blind date.

And she could be with Lin Xi.

Episode after episode, time passed quickly, but Xia Rou’s head grew increasingly heavy.

“Old Lin, do you smell a gardenia scent? It’s faint.” Chi Xiao asked suddenly.

Lin Xi, with her keen sense of smell, immediately realized that this was not just an ordinary scent but an Omega’s pheromone.

There was only one Omega in this room. The next second, she stiffly turned her neck to look.

The belated Chi Xiao also immediately looked in Xia Rou’s direction, only to see the girl slumped weakly on the computer desk, her long hair scattered across her back.

Chi Xiao: “I was great in elementary school health class. If I’m not mistaken, she’s leaking pheromones even with the suppressor patch on. Is she in heat?”

Lin Xi clenched her knuckles, her expression serious.

…It really did affect her after all.
