Chapter 537: Two Heart Gestures

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jin Yu had a hard time figuring out a suitable term to answer the question.

Quick to jump to his own conclusions, Fu Qingxuan frustratedly shook his head with a bitter smile. “I guess you don’t know him.”

Not everyone would know who Li Yuan was despite his status. The mister next door might not seem like the average Joe, but Fu Qingxuan did not believe he knew Li Yuan.

“This is his home.” Jin Yu pointed at the house behind him. He identified the bitterness and helplessness in Fu Qingxuan’s eyes. “Do you have a crush on the girl too?”

It came as no surprise to Jin Yu that the girl had a lot of admirers since she was brilliant, beautiful, and adorable.

“I don’t.” Fu Qingxuan mumbled agitatedly. However, realization soon hit him in the face. “This is Li Yuan’s home?”

Jin Yu was puzzled by Fu Qingxuan’s overreaction. It appeared the staunch young man did not have the greatest temper. “Yes.”

Fu Qingxuan swallowed the swear word that was about to slip from his tongue. It finally made sense to him that the person who won Meanie’s heart had always been Li Yuan, that b*stard!

“Did you get off on the wrong foot with Li Yuan?” Jin Yun could tell that Fu Qingxuan was not Li Yuan’s biggest fan as his tone and reaction reflected his disdain, even more so than when Jin Yun met him the day before.

“No.” Fu Qingxuan stiffly answered before attempting to wheel himself out of there.

There was no need for him to verify Li Yuan’s relationship with Meanie at this point. No doubt, Li Yuan was her neighbor and Toffeecito’s dad that Pei Xu brought up.

“Are you busy now?” Jin Yu suddenly asked as the young man was about to leave.

Fu Qingxuan looked back and gave him a strange look. The mister was a weird man.

Jin Yu explained with a smile. “Toffeecito’s cat tree is broken. I’m trying to fix it. Can you give me a hand?”

For some reason, Jin Yu got an affectionate vibe from the young man, similar to the feeling Xixi gave him. Perhaps Fu Qingxuan made quite an impression on him!

Fu Qingxuan was not in the mood following the revelation, but a sense of familiarity surfaced when the man curled his lips. Without thinking, he bobbed his head.

The pair in wheelchairs moved through the front door one after the other. Standing on the wall, Toffeecito meowed as they came before leaping down agilely. Without hesitation, it jumped onto Jin Yu’s lap.

It put Fu Qingxuan in a worse mood than he was in before. Not only did Meanie put him down, but even the cat was ignoring him.

Shen Xi, who had no idea she messed with Fu Qingxuan’s head, had got down the car.

The car pulled up in front of a stall selling pancakes with crispy fritters.

Li Yuan went to get the pancake while Shen Xi crossed the road to the bubble tea shop.

Since it was half-past nine in the morning, it was breakfast time for those who were not at work. The queue mainly consisted of students as it was the summer holidays.

Pushing his wheelchair, Li Yuan joined a queue and looked at Kun Lun. “Give me the eggs.”

Kun Lun respectably handed over the eggs. Ms. Shen mentioned that Young Master Qingxuan asked for pastured eggs, so he got down the car to buy them while passing by the morning market.

Li Yuan grabbed the eggs and looked behind him at his girl. She was lining up outside the bubble tea shop across the road, basking in the sunlight. Vibrant energy herself, she was breathtaking like the brilliant sun.

There was a group of girls who were in the line for the pancake stall. They stole a glance at Li Yuan while quietly discussing among themselves. He was such a hunk!

The girls must be in high school judging by their age. They encouraged each other to ask for Li Yuan’s contact, but none of them could muster the courage.

Shen Xi made about the same progress getting the drinks as Li Yuan with the pancakes. She was heading back with the bubble tea when the man turned his wheelchair around.

As sunlight shone on him, Li Yuan’s flawless handsome face, warm smile, and refined presence drummed her racing heart. She quickened her pace as she moved toward him.

Li Yuan watched his fair lady approaching against the sunbeam. He wondered what was on her mind, noticing the rosiness creeping up her cheeks as she merrily ran to him.

“It’s twenty yuan for four pieces.” The stall owner handed the pancakes to Kun Lun before sneaking a look at the man in the wheelchair. The man’s presence commanded attention.

Kun Lun was ready to fork out the cash but was stopped by Li Yuan.

Still keeping his eyes on his fair lady, Li Yuan extended his hand and did a finger heart gesture with smiley eyes.

Shen Xi had just crossed the road and arrived at her destination when the man’s sudden change of body language took her by surprise. The euphoria quickly ensued and she placed the drinks on the ground to free her hands for a response.

Since one heart gesture was not enough to express her current excitement, she extended two hands in return to double the gesture.

Li Yuan motioned another heart gesture before earnestly replying, “Xixi, twenty yuan.”

Shen Xi could bawl her eyes out. He was not giving her hearts. He was asking for money from her!

Despite the urge, Kun Lun was about to lose his mind bottling up his chuckles. Faced with Shen Xi’s questioning eyes, he shook his head and gave her a look that he had no clue.

Boss did it deliberately!

It was on purpose!

Oh, Boss knew exactly what it meant. He was conniving to play dumb!

Kun Lun came over to grab the beverage before Shen Xi could. With a heavy heart, she held her purse to make payment. Did Li Yuan still think this was the gesture to ask for money?

Staring at the pair with envy, the onlooking crowd had a good laugh. The couple was a good match and interesting too. They dispersed after the pair got into the car.

Shen Xi took a bite of the pancake while contemplating how to break it to Li Yuan of the subtext regarding the earlier gesture. She vaguely murmured, “Brother, don’t go using the hand gesture around.”

She did not intend to explain the gesture, but she was afraid he might use it on someone else. People would take it the wrong way.

“Sure.” Li Yuan answered.

Shen Xi thought he would follow up with a why question. To her dismay, his response stirred her off course from the reply she had in mind. Shen Xi quietly finished off her pancake.

Behind the wheel, Kun Lun might be composed, but inside, he was delirious. Hats off to Boss for pushing Ms. Shen off the edge.

“Brother, I’m sure you watched National Idol. Song Wenye often uses this hand gesture.” Shen Xi tried to drop another hint.

“I didn’t notice.” Li Yuan was being honest.. He only had eyes for her and had no time for other people when he watched the show.
