Chapter 190 Encouragement

Ouyang Mengmian returned to the apartment with Su Jingsi and immediately started to get busy.

At noon, when she was having lunch with Xu Lingfeng, she actually forgot to order food for Su Jingsi, which made her feel extremely regretful and blamed herself. Therefore, she declined Xu Lingfeng's pick-up and invitation in the evening without hesitation, and returned to the apartment halfway, thinking only of doing something for Su Jingsi to make up for her mistake.

When she saw Su Jingsi coming to pick her up outside the apartment, she was deeply moved even though it was only a short distance and she didn't need anyone to pick her up. But at the same time, she felt more and more guilty and sorry for Su Jingsi.

At this moment, Ouyang Mengmian was taking out beef from the refrigerator, planning to cook beef stew with tomatoes and potatoes for Su Jingsi in the evening. Because this dish is simple to cook, it is also one of the few meat dishes that Ouyang Mengmian is good at.

In the apartment, the atmosphere became warmer as Ouyang Mengmian was busy. Su Jingsi stood not far from Ouyang Mengmian, watching her methodically doing a series of preparations before cooking, and his heart could not help but ripple. He clearly felt that with Ouyang Mengmian's presence, the room seemed to be revitalized and made people feel warm.

Ouyang Mengmian put the beef in a basin and turned on the tap to defrost it with cold water. Looking at Su Jingsi standing nearby, she thought for a moment and then expressed her apology to Su Jingsi again in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Su Jingsi. I'm really sorry about what happened at noon. If you hadn't called me, I would have almost forgotten to order you a meal..."

Su Jingsi smiled and shook his head, and took a step or two closer to Ouyang Mengmian. He looked at Ouyang Mengmian with a frank gaze, and said gently: "Mengmian, it's really okay. Not just this time, you don't have to apologize to me at any time, at any time, for any matter in the future..."

Ouyang Mengmian looked at Su Jingsi's eyes, which were filled with tenderness and determination, and was greatly shocked. The guilt and apology seemed to be slowly soothed at this moment. She nodded gently at Su Jingsi, and then hurriedly got busy again.

Seeing that the water in the basin was about to be filled, Ouyang Mengmian quickly turned off the faucet. While she was free, she took out the potatoes and tomatoes and started to process them.

Su Jingsi stood aside, watching Ouyang Mengmian's focused and serious look, and felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart. He enjoyed the quiet time when the two of them were together without being disturbed. It was enough without saying anything.

After preparing the side dishes, Ouyang Mengmian took a short break. She made a cup of tea for Su Jingsi and herself. The two of them sat at the dining table, drinking tea and chatting casually.

In the warm atmosphere, the atmosphere between Ouyang Mengmian and Su Jingsi became more harmonious. The aroma of tea filled the air, accompanied by the relaxed conversation between the two, as if adding a bit of tranquility and warmth to the entire space.

As time passed, the originally boiling hot tea had become drinkable temperature.

Su Jingsi took a sip of tea from the cup in his left hand. Although he looked extremely relaxed, he could not help but tighten the handle of the cup secretly. He looked at Ouyang Mengmian with some trepidation, and finally couldn't help asking the question that had been on his mind: "Mengmian, are you and...Mr. Xu...good...friends?"

When Ouyang Mengmian heard Su Jingsi mention "Mr. Xu", her relaxed expression suddenly froze, and the action of drinking water in her hand also paused slightly. But she quickly realized who the so-called "Mr. Xu" Su Jingsi was talking about was. What she didn't expect was that Su Jingsi would suddenly mention Xu Lingfeng at this moment.

But she soon remembered that she had seen Xu Lingfeng and Su Jingsi drinking together in the Red Dust Bar before - they had known each other for a long time, and it was normal for Su Jingsi to ask her questions about Xu Lingfeng out of curiosity. So she quickly felt relieved.

"The Mr. Xu you're talking about... is it Xu Lingfeng? He is indeed my good friend. We... grew up together, and our two families often visit each other..." Ouyang Mengmian's voice was soft and calm, and she tried her best to search for the right words to describe the relationship between her and Xu Lingfeng. "I have a good relationship with him. He usually... takes care of me like... a brother..."

Before asking Ouyang Mengmian the question that had been on his mind, Su Jingsi was still a little uneasy. He was worried that the questions he asked were too private and would cause Ouyang Mengmian to be disgusted and unhappy.

However, when he actually said these questions, he felt a little relieved. This question was like a heavy stone weighing on his heart, and with the appearance of Xu Lingfeng, he was tossing and turning, unable to sleep or eat.

Now that he has mustered up the courage to mention this matter to Ouyang Mengmian, isn't this a kind of self-redemption and proactive attack by Su Jingsi!

At this moment, Su Jingsi had held his breath, staring at Ouyang Mengmian intently, afraid to miss any of her subtle expressions or movements. Her every word and every subtle expression tugged at his heartstrings.

In fact, from Ouyang Mengmian's words, Su Jingsi had keenly captured the unusual close relationship between her and Xu Lingfeng.

Because of this realization, Su Jingsi's inner tension and uneasiness were immediately magnified countless times. His heartbeat was like thunder and his breathing became rapid.

However, after listening to Ouyang Mengmian's explanation of the relationship between her and Xu Lingfeng, Su Jingsi's tense mood and suffocated feeling were finally slightly relieved.

"Take care of me like a brother..." Ouyang Mengmian's words floated softly into Su Jingsi's ears, echoing over and over again.

Su Jingsi's frown gradually relaxed, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. It turned out that Xu Lingfeng was just a kind brother in Ouyang Mengmian's heart, not the special feeling he had worried about before.

This discovery made Su Jingsi feel relieved, and at the same time he was secretly glad that he did not misunderstand their relationship.

At this moment, Su Jingsi's inner feelings seemed as bright and warm as the sunshine breaking through the clouds after the rain.

Su Jingsi took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excited emotions. He knew that he couldn't take it lightly because Ouyang Mengmian's feelings for him were still unclear.

Although Xu Lingfeng was undecided about Ouyang Mengmian, Ouyang Mengmian obviously did not consider Xu Lingfeng as a boyfriend or girlfriend.

At the moment, Ouyang Mengmian has no one else around him. He already has a rare opportunity. If he can continue to work hard, he will have a great chance to win Ouyang Mengmian's heart.

Su Jingsi was greatly encouraged by realizing this, and his eyes were unconsciously filled with smiles and endless affection when he looked at Ouyang Mengmian.
