Speaking of Ouyang Zhuo, he had indeed not contacted her since Lin Qiao sent him a message on the day of the birthday party.
She had heard that he was a playboy with countless girlfriends. Lin Qiao just thought that he was just having a whim and gave up after his fun was spoiled.
Today, when she heard Xie Xunwen say that he had been depressed because of her, she was not only surprised but also a little bit incredulous.
But Xie Xunwen seemed to have no reason to lie to her.
Out of curiosity, Lin Qiao and Bai Mengying followed Xie Xunwen to a club on the top floor of the shopping mall.
This club was opened by Ouyang Zhuo and his friends. According to Xie Xunwen, he had not returned home for a long time and had been locking himself in the club all day playing games.
Everyone in the club knew Xie Xunwen and took them directly to Ouyang Zhuo’s exclusive esports room.
As soon as the door of the e-sports room opened, the strong smell of cigarette smoke hit their noses.
Lin Qiao and Bai Mengying simultaneously covered their noses with their hands and coughed a few times reflexively.
Hearing the cough, Ouyang Zhuo, who was playing games in an expensive gaming chair, impatiently took off his headphones.
He was about to swear when he suddenly saw Lin Qiao frowning. He quickly jumped up from the chair and rushed to the window to open it.
In just two months of not seeing each other, Ouyang Zhuo seemed like a different person. The mess of exquisite brand names on his body disappeared, replaced by rags like a beggar.
The buzz cut he had shaved before had grown a finger’s worth of hair, which hung in a mess on his head. It also looked like he hadn’t shaved for a long time, with a face full of stubble. He had simply gone from one extreme to another.
He seemed a little bewildered, rubbing his hand uncomfortably against the hem of his trousers.
He stammered, “W-why are you here?”
“I came to see you. I happened to run into Miss Lin downstairs. I thought you might have something to say to her, so I asked her to come up with you.”
Xie Xunwen casually found a reflective CD in the room and handed it to Ouyang Zhuo.
Ouyang Zhuo didn’t understand what he meant. He reached out to take it, still trying to defend himself.
“I… don’t have anything to say.”
Xie Xunwen lifted his hand and held the CD in front of him, allowing Ouyang Zhuo to see his face clearly in the mirror.
Ouyang Zhuo was startled by the sudden slovenly look in the mirror. He frantically searched around to see if there was anything he could use to tidy up his appearance. In the end, he only found a black mask, so he quickly put it on and randomly scratched his hair with his hands.
“You really don’t have anything to say?” Xie Xunwen asked knowingly and then pretended to leave.
“In that case, Miss Lin, you go…”
“I do!”
Before Xie Xunwen could finish the word ‘go back’, Ouyang Zhuo shouted.
“I have something to say.”
After forcing him to tell the truth, Xie Xunwen achieved his goal and pulled Bai Mengying out.
Bai Mengying was dragged into the club lobby by him. After stopping, she quickly and decisively pulled her hand away.
“Mr. Xie, it’s not appropriate for men and women to touch each other. You were the one who told me that.”
Xie Xunwen looked at his suddenly empty hand, his disappointed expression turning into helplessness.
“Why haven’t you answered my calls these days?”
Bai Mengying seemed to have heard something funny. She found a sofa and sat down, tilting her head.
“Mr. Xie, that’s a strange question. Who are you to me? What’s our relationship? Why should I answer your call?”
Xie Xunwen paused, swallowed slightly. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him unable to speak.
