I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 172 - 161: Like

Pei Jinxi looked at him without a smile, her clear eyes betraying no emotion.

Gu Xunyi was taken aback.

He said, "Ah, really, you’re acquainted?" His gaze shifted between the two of them.

Mu Qianli hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, quite familiar."

But Gu Xunyi wasn’t actually paying attention to Pei Jinxi; instead, he teased Mu Qianli with a playful smile, "Your circle of friends seems quite wide. If I remember correctly, in ’Behind the Scenes Gold,’ a lot of younger guys liked you. It seems you’re quite popular with the younger crowd."

Mu Qianli gave a forced laugh.

Why did she feel that Pei Jinxi’s expression was off?

And then, suddenly, she felt something winding around her feet. Her whole body stiffened instantly, and right then, what had brushed against her, now caressed the underside of her thigh distinctly.

He was rubbing his leg against hers...

She was wearing a dress, her tender skin completely exposed to him.

He rubbed directly against her, and if someone were to take a photo from below, they’d surely capture the feeling of him brushing over her thigh.

Mu Qianli didn’t dare move; she could only covertly glance at Pei Jinxi who acted as if nothing had happened, thinking with grievance in her heart: What’s going on, what’s happening?

She felt like he was deliberately teasing her.

He never used to act like this... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Pei Jinxi’s expression remained unchanged, looking towards Gu Xunyi.

"Some younger brothers might look young, but that’s all there is to it; don’t call them ’younger brothers,’ it sounds terrible."

"..."

That statement seemed to carry a hint of implication.

Gu Xunyi, however, didn’t think of it that way and just laughed it off, "Is that so? Hey, you’re funnier than Hu Yiwei said. Hu Yiwei also mentioned that you never joke."

"He’s right."

Pei Jinxi spoke coldly.

"..."

Gu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and Mu Qianli suddenly stood up.

"I need to use the bathroom."

Gu Xunyi said, "Hey, isn’t your dress too long for the restroom? Won’t it be a problem?"

"No problem!"

Mu Qianli glared at him.

Mu Qianli was washing her hands in the restroom.

Outside, it was chaotic, people bustling by, the stars shining bright; everyone was busy, and no one noticed her.

Mu Qianli took a deep breath and walked out, spotting Gu Xunyi by the door.

"What are you doing here? You’re not here to smoke, are you? This area is full of cameras; be careful, or you’ll be exposed," she kindly warned.

"There are so many people; I thought you might get lost. Smoke? What smoke!" he said.

Mu Qianli raised an eyebrow, about to leave, when he suddenly said, "Hey, Mu Qianli, let’s go to dinner after this is over."

"Me? That might not be a good idea with all the reporters around; it’s too easy to be photographed," she replied with a polite smile.

Gu Xunyi frowned and said directly, "Hey, Mu Qianli, I’ve invited you a few times now; you should give some response. I know I didn’t realize you liked me before, and I might have given you the cold shoulder a few times, but I’m being forward now."

Mu Qianli thought she had misheard.

What did he say?

Likes and dislikes?

"What did you say? I didn’t quite catch that. Like? Who likes you?"

Since Gu Xunyi had already spoken, he continued, "You like me; I’ve noticed. You’ve been trying to get my attention, and I’ve seen it. Now, I’m responding to you. I think we should have a meal and talk things over. Let’s not play any games."

"..."

Mu Qianli was dumbfounded, her face awkwardly stiff as she smiled, feeling at a loss for words, her mind a total mess.

After several seconds, she managed to say, "Sorry, I’ve never liked you."
