Chapter 1189: Chapter 908: Little Star Side Story (1)

Little Star has finished a semester’s worth of classes, and finally, she can relax a bit. Today, Xiao Wu asked her out for coffee. A few days ago, the two of them watched a tennis match organized by his classmate, whom Little Star especially liked. Today, he said he wants to introduce her to that classmate.

In the bustling heart of the city, inside an elegant café, Little Star visited for the first time.

The pianist’s melodious tunes gently flowed from the fingertips, pleasing the hearts of all present gentlemen and ladies. However, at the moment, Little Star wasn’t happy because Xiao Wu’s classmate hadn’t taken his eyes off her since arriving.

Taking advantage of the classmate’s restroom break, Little Star frowned and pulled Xiao Wu aside, "What’s going on? What does he mean?"

"You haven’t figured it out yet? He clearly has a thing for you. So, how do you like him? This classmate of mine is very talented and extremely handsome, plus he’s great at tennis."

As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Little Star felt a sudden discomfort, "Handsome, my foot! I only liked him playing tennis; I never said I liked him as a person." Gluing his eyes to someone upon first meeting, Little Star absolutely despised people like that. Such people think with their lower halves.

Xiao Wu rubbed his aching head and said, "Come on, if you don’t like him, I’ll find another one for you. I’m your uncle after all, aren’t you a bit disrespectful hitting your uncle like that?"

"You realize you’re acting as an uncle, yet you don’t provide any elder-like guidance, completely unreliable. I’m doing perfectly fine on my own, no need to go crazy introducing me to potential partners."

"You’re already in your twenties, never been in a relationship. You even studied abroad; it’s utterly embarrassing for me when you return. In the prime of your youth, facing the sky and flowers won’t fill your stomach. Life has so many pleasures; you should diversify, don’t you think?"

"I’m pretty diverse now; stop preaching this nonsense. I’m doing well, so spare me from this mess of introductions in the future."

"H mph, no good deed goes unpunished. Should you encounter any lousy guys in the future, don’t blame me for not taking care of you. Don’t reject the good ones and end up with some jerk; you’ll regret it, but don’t cry about it then."

"..." Little Star shot him a glare, clearly indicating his words were a curse.

She thought Xiao Wu’s classmate went to the restroom, but unexpectedly, he had gone out at some point and returned with a huge bouquet of flowers. There were plenty of people having coffee in the morning, and several were drawn to this classmate striding in with such a showy bouquet, capturing the attention of many in the café.

He walked over with a smile, handed the flowers to her, leaving Little Star conflicted, "Xingxing, I saw the flowers just now and found them especially beautiful, just like you, so I bought them for you, hoping you’d like them."

Such straightforwardness left Little Star puzzled on how to respond. Frustrated, she discretely pinched Xiao Wu hard. He inhaled sharply, too scared to speak.

Knowing Little Star didn’t like it, Xiao Wu promptly laughed, stood up, and hugged his classmate before sitting down. He then took the bouquet and said, "Hmm, these flowers really smell nice. Ray, uh... my family’s Xingxing is allergic to flowers, haha, I forgot to tell you."

"Ah, I’m truly sorry, how clumsy of me. Xingxing, please don’t be mad. Whatever you like, let me know; I’ll buy it for you. Actually... ever since I saw you that day, I... "

"Ahem... um, Ray is it? My name is Han Xingyue; you can call me Xing Yue or Miki, it’s fine. Oh... I can’t join you for coffee today because my boyfriend is waiting for me." Little Star caught on to what he wanted to say, quickly interrupting with a smile.

"Your boyfriend? Where?" Over here, Xiao Wu upon hearing ’boyfriend,’ didn’t immediately grasp it, but truly thought Little Star already had a boyfriend, while Ray gazed sadly at her.

Little Star, becoming anxious, pointed to a man seated at a distance with his back to her, "There... over there, he’s been waiting forever. Xiao Wu, you two have fun; I’m off to find my boyfriend." Little Star spoke, winking at Xiao Wu out of Ray’s view, signaling him to take his classmate and leave.

Only then did Xiao Wu realize that Little Star was faking it to brush them off. Helpless, he knew he’d have to explain later.

Ray watched Little Star with a sorrowful gaze, looking quite dejected. Facing that, Little Star felt a bit guilty, chuckled awkwardly, and bravely picked up her bag, heading to the spot of the man she had pointed to earlier.
