Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love-Chapter 384 I Can Be Insecure Too

Qi Yan could tell this person wanted to enjoy the spectacle.

But he had been quite frustrated about this matter and felt like he was going to burst if he didn’t talk to someone.

This issue actually started on the day Tuan Zi turned one month old.

It was Qi Yan’s first experience of love at first sight.

During the photoshoot, he even purposely stood next to Lin Meiya.

Unfortunately, it seemed like she didn’t notice him, or at least her attention wasn’t on him.

He wanted to offer his help afterward.

But Lin Meiya said it was okay, as she was going back with a coworker on the way.

Originally, Qi Yan could have offered a ride, right?

Unfortunately, he was driving a sports car that day!

"Why was I showing off like that?" Qi Yan still couldn’t help but reprimand himself thinking about it.

Afterward, he could only look for excuses to contact her.

Qi Yan seriously thought about it for a week and ended up inviting her out with a company’s internet celebrity’s contract termination.

"She probably felt it was awkward to refuse since I am your sister-in-law and your friend," he guessed.

Qi Yan wanted to sigh again; their lunch went rather smoothly that day.

Well, they did find quite a few topics of common interest.

Plus, Qi Yan discovered she was a very unpretentious girl, not fussy at all.

Which made him like her even more.

"Everything was going so well, until I ran into my former senior at the end—you remember her, right? The one I liked back in my freshman year..."

Thinking about that scene still made Qi Yan cringe.

The senior seemed to be breaking up with her boyfriend at that time, totally oblivious to the setting.

She dragged Qi Yan and started telling everyone he was her new boyfriend.

Lin Meiya probably felt awkward and left with, "I’ll be going first since you’re still busy."

And she really did leave.

Xie Xiao looked at Qi Yan and honestly, it was kind of pitiful.

But he said, "Why didn’t you pull away then?"

"I tried! But I didn’t manage to move an inch!" Qi Yan said, distraught.

Afterward, whenever he tried contacting her, Lin Meiya’s attitude seemed a bit off.

Qi Yan wanted to invite her out again, but she always refused.

He had planned to think of other methods.

They did keep in touch intermittently.

Couldn’t help it, Qi Yan felt that they really had a lot to talk about.

"But let me clear up one thing, we only talked about serious matters, no flirting. I explained that the girl was my senior and not my girlfriend, but she seemed not to believe me..."

So they chatted like online friends for over a month, with absolutely no flirting involved.

If Qi Yan wanted to flirt, things would be cut off even before they started, as she would mention being busy, as if she had surveillance on him.

It was only until half a month ago that a turning point finally arrived.

The reason was that the senior had gotten back together with her boyfriend, and Lin Meiya saw them walking hand in hand.

She even took a photo.

But she probably hesitated for a long time.

It wasn’t until past eleven at night that Qi Yan finally received the photo.

"I didn’t even realize at first glance who was in the photo." Qi Yan sighed.

But then a long string of comforting messages came through.

Even a few voice messages were sent.

In the voice messages, the girl’s voice was cautious, "Although I don’t think it looks much like a misunderstanding, you should still verify it with the person. I originally didn’t want to send this to you, but I was afraid you’d be kept in the dark..."

Qi Yan laughed then; what was there to verify?

He wasn’t even friends with them anymore.

Just as he was about to continue explaining, the other party sent another message.

"Are you okay? Actually, with your qualifications, you can definitely find any girl, so don’t be sad~"

"By the way, I saw a joke today..."

She was comforting herself.

It was a voice message.

Qi Yan, who originally wanted to explain, ended up deleting the half-typed words.

He tentatively sent a message, "Feel like having a drink."

The reply came immediately, "Okay, the address."

Xie Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Is there hope?"

"I think so too!" Qi Yan said with a face that found its group, and he reached out to hold Xie Xiao’s hand.

"Then I drove to pick her up, you know, I even bought flowers on the way, planning to explain in person, to tell her that having a drink meant I was finally able to clear my name, I was so happy!" That’s really what Qi Yan thought at the time.

But he didn’t expect Lin Meiya to misunderstand that he was trying to hold onto her and then failed.

So upset that he wanted a drink!

Qi Yan: ...

"I kept explaining on the way that it really wasn’t that kind of relationship!" Qi Yan sighed deeply. "But it seems like she didn’t believe me."

Qi Yan took her out for barbecue, as Lin Meiya requested.

She said it was lively.

And throughout, she didn’t give him a chance to bring up the misunderstanding, always diverting to various topics.

Towards the end, Qi Yan almost forgot about the incident, mainly because their frequencies were so similar.

They could chat about anything.

Even their sense of humor was the same.

Qi Yan felt he might never meet another person whose frequency matched his so well in his lifetime.

So it was a very happy late-night meal.

Since Qi Yan had to drive, he ended up not drinking alcohol.

They just had soft drinks.

Only after they had finished eating and he had dropped Lin Meiya off did she cautiously ask, "Are you still upset?"

Qi Yan, not upset at all: ...

He watched carefully as he once again seriously said to his girl, "There’s nothing between us, she’s just a senior from my past. She had just broken up with her boyfriend that day and happened to see me, I was just a tool."

Lin Meiya was taken aback, glanced at the flowers that had been on the back seat all evening, "What?"

Qi Yan simply unbuckled his seatbelt, reached out to take the flowers and placed them in her arms, "These are for you, I bought them on my way to pick you up."

Having said all this, Qi Yan simply went ahead and said, "I feel like we actually have a good chat, right? Would you like to try going out with me?"

...

"The result is she ran off, holding the flowers and ran off!" Qi Yan’s head buzzed, "I just wonder if I moved too fast..."

He glanced outside.

Afterwards, she didn’t block or delete him, but he just couldn’t get her to go out again.

Xie Xiao fell silent, "So, you haven’t seen her since your confession?"

Qi Yan shook his head.

Xie Xiao was silent again, "Why didn’t you think to go to her law firm to find her?"

"Who said I didn’t think of it? I even went there," Qi Yan countered.

He then gave a bitter smile, "But I didn’t dare to disturb her."

Qi Yan leaned on the washbasin, his voice very soft, "Xie Xiao, I’m really clueless, man. If someone doesn’t like you and you keep showing up, they’re probably going to hate you more."

Qi Yan had always been two steps ahead of everyone else since birth.

Everything always went smoothly for him, and he could now certainly be called a promising young man, couldn’t he?

But only in matters of the heart did he always face many hurdles.

Qi Yan looked at Xie Xiao and gave a rueful smile, "I’m a good guy, right? But even I can feel insecure."
