When Fang Yuechuan said these words, Shi Yuan and Gu Xiao looked shocked.
The first person to react was the man who invited Shi Yuan to dance. He behaved very appropriately, politely said sorry, and then left.
Gu Xiao's expression changed several times, and finally she looked at Fang Yuechuan and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Fang Yuechuan: "It means she has agreed to dance with me first, and she is my dance partner."
Shi Yuan frowned when he heard this, not understanding what he was going to do.
"Isn't she Ren Jue's girlfriend?" Gu Xiao was obviously more confused than Shi Yuan.
Fang Yuechuan was calm: "Did I say no?"
"What?" Gu Xiao's expression seemed as if he didn't understand what Fang Yuechuan was talking about.
In Shi Yuan's memory, Gu Xiao has always been aloof and arrogant. Even if he is not liked by others, he will not lose his temper.
But when she looked at Fang Yuechuan's expression now, she looked like the first wife who caught her boyfriend cheating on her. His face was full of shock and confusion, mixed with a hint of sadness.
Fang Yuechuan's mood was very stable and he explained calmly: "Ren Jue went to accompany Zuo Lan, and Zuo Lan is my dance partner."
"..." Gu Xiao clenched his fists, gave Shi Yuan a cold look, and walked away angrily.
Shi Yuan felt very speechless. What's the matter with two of them? Are they using her as a human shield?
Fang Yuechuan seemed to know what Shi Yuan was thinking and asked, "Are you scolding me in your heart?"
Shi Yuan said without sincerity: "How dare I."
Fang Yuechuan: "You should have figured out what Zuo Lan is thinking. This little girl is very pampered by her family. It would be better for you to stay away from your uncle in front of her. I am also helping you by saying this to Gu Xiao."
Shi Yuan: "I don't know whether you can help me or not. I do know that you brought Zuo Lan here on purpose."
"Yes." Fang Yuechuan admitted very readily.
Shi Yuan frowned: "I have no problem with you trying to win over Ren Jue and Zuo Lan, but you can't take me out? You know that I don't have a good relationship with Gu Xiao, but you still help me offend her?"
"As long as the goal is achieved, I don't ask anything else," Fang Yuechuan stretched out his arms slightly, leaned back, and asked with a half-smile, "In what capacity did Miss Shi ask me to remove you?"
Shi Yuan felt that she couldn't talk to him at all, so she immediately pulled up her skirt and prepared to stand up.
Fang Yuechuan saw this and asked, "Where are you going?"
Shi Yuan looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Go and dance with the gentleman just now."
Fang Yuechuan's expression changed instantly.
Shi Yuan seemed not to notice Fang Yuechuan's emotional changes. She looked at him condescendingly and said, "Master Fang, what you want is your business, but what I want is mine."
Fang Yuechuan: "..."
Seeing that Shi Yuan was really about to leave, Fang Yuechuan said with a dark face: "Come back."
Shi Yuan looked back at him, but had no intention of sitting back.
Fang Yuechuan rubbed his face with a very unconvinced expression. He frowned and compromised, "I won't do this next time."
Only then did Shi Yuan sit back.
Fang Yuechuan lowered his head and looked at the new wine glass in his hand. His fingers slowly groped the wall of the goblet. Compared with just now, it was obviously much lower now.
Tang Songnian once said that Fang Yuechuan was a very strong person, very stubborn and no one could defeat him, but Shi Yuan was an exception, because Shi Yuan was even more stubborn than Fang Yuechuan, and Shi Yuan was even harder-hearted than Fang Yuechuan, and Fang Yuechuan couldn't fight him at all. she.
Shi Yuan remembered the first time she had a conflict with Fang Yuechuan, which was almost a month after she transferred to No. 6 Middle School.
At that time, Shi Yuan was the English class representative of Class 17. The sports committee of the class next door liked Shi Yuan and often used the excuse of working for the English class representative of their class to get in touch with Shi Yuan.
Once or twice is fine, but if it happens more often, everyone will know it.
Shi Yuan didn't like this boy, and he was very cautious in dealing with him. However, because Shi Yuan didn't act too decisively, everyone felt that they had a chance to develop.
But the fact is that the boy didn't express his feelings very clearly, and Shi Yuan couldn't find it easy to point out, and he seemed to be narcissistic.
Fang Yuechuan must have misunderstood. Gradually, he talked to Shi Yuan much less often. Shi Yuan was not the one who took the initiative to chat, so the relationship between the two inexplicably developed in the direction of a cold war.
This situation lasted for about a week, and the trigger was when a female classmate asked Shi Yuan to send a love letter to Fang Yuechuan on her behalf.
Shi Yuan didn't really want to take this job, but the girl asked her in every possible way and finally agreed. Because of this love letter, the cold war between the two completely turned into a hot war.
They could have said a few words at first, but then they just treated each other as nothing, and they were fiercely arguing with each other. Poor Tang Songnian was caught in the middle, and his face was as wrinkled as a bitter gourd all day long.
The turning point was one morning during class break, the sports committee next door came to see Shi Yuan again, and the whole class started to boo.
Shi Yuan didn't know why until she heard the boy say that he was waiting for her at Luan Shu behind the teaching building after school and that he had something to say to her.
Shi Yuan could guess what he would say to her, and she also felt that the matter should be over, and she could take this opportunity to make it clear.
According to the agreement between the two, Shi Yuan went to see the boy after school. After he confessed his love, he seriously refused and then turned around and left.
Just after walking around the corner, Shi Yuan found Fang Yuechuan waiting here. After a brief surprise, Shi Yuan continued to walk forward and passed by Fang Yuechuan, but was pulled by him.
Shi Yuan frowned: "What are you doing?"
Fang Yuechuan seemed very nervous: "You...you and him"
Shi Yuan: "Nothing, let go."
Fang Yuechuan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Shi Yuan twitched his hand but did not move it, and looked at Fang Yuechuan angrily.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been angry at you before, I just..." Fang Yuechuan paused, lowered his head for a while and said seriously, "You ignored me during this time, I feel so uncomfortable, I apologize to you, it's all It’s my fault, let’s make peace, okay?”
*
The Fang Yuechuan in the memory seems to overlap with the Fang Yuechuan in front of him. He has changed but seems to have stayed the same. Perhaps after being together for a long time, his inner feelings can be revealed more.
Shi Yuan admitted that Tang Songnian was right. She really wanted to save face, was angry and liked to be treated coldly. These were all due to her personality. She knew it was wrong, but it was difficult to change it.
So every time the two of them had a conflict in the past, no matter whose fault it was, Fang Yuechuan would always compromise first and show good intentions, and then Shi Yuan would walk down the steps.
If it was Shi Yuan's fault, after reconciliation, Fang Yuechuan would coquettishly and half-truthfully say that he had been wronged. Shi Yuan knew that he was being unreasonable, so he would go along with it, and the matter would be over with just some coaxing.
Fang Yuechuan was particularly easy to coax, and by using this method of getting along, the two of them almost never had major conflicts except for the period before they broke up.
It was probably because the two were so familiar with each other during their middle school years that Shi Yuan could still catch some of Fang Yuechuan's little emotions.
Looking at him with his head lowered, he might feel aggrieved.
Shi Yuan owed something to Fang Yuechuan and always wanted to make it up to him. She sighed silently and asked, "Want to dance?"
