I swallowed hard. "I... I went on a date with him, so what?"
Pei Chenyi's eyes turned red instantly. "Why did you go on a date with him?"
"..."
I glared at him. "What does it matter to you who I go on dates with?"
"..."
Pei Chenyi fell silent for a moment and then let go of me.
I quickly stepped back two paces, rubbing my wrist and glaring at him. "What is wrong with you?"
Pei Chenyi looked at me, not saying a word.
Just then, two girls walked over.
They paused when they saw me and Pei Chenyi.
The short-haired girl asked, "Are you Li Xinyao?"
"I am," I nodded.
The long-haired girl stared at me. "Are you Zhang Kun's girlfriend?"
"I..." I hesitated, "I went on a date with him, but..."
The short-haired girl interrupted me, "Do you know that Zhang Kun is seeing two girls at the same time?"
"Ah?" I was stunned.
The long-haired girl took out her phone and played a video for me.
In the video, a boy wearing a bookstore uniform was confronted by two girls, who were the same ones standing in front of me now.
They questioned the boy about seeing two girls at once, and he lowered his head, saying nothing.
After watching, I felt completely dazed.
The short-haired girl asked me, "Did he tell you he had a girlfriend when you were dating him?"
"I..."
I opened my mouth but couldn't find the words to say.
I really didn't know he had a girlfriend; otherwise, I wouldn't have gone on a date with him.
The girl with long hair sneered, "It seems he didn't tell you."
The short-haired girl also sneered, "He lied to you."
"..."
I fell silent, my heart in turmoil.
Pei Chenyi suddenly spoke up, "This has nothing to do with her."
The three girls turned to look at him simultaneously.
Pei Chenyi looked at them seriously and said, "She never thought about dating Zhang Kun; they are just ordinary friends."
The short-haired girl frowned, "How do you know?"
"I..." Pei Chenyi hesitated for a moment, "I heard them talking."
"..."
The two girls exchanged glances.
Pei Chenyi continued, "Zhang Kun just asked her to watch a movie; she agreed, but nothing happened between them."
"..."
The short-haired girl looked at the long-haired girl and asked, "Mengmeng, what do you think?"
Zhang Xue thought for a moment and said to me, "Since you're innocent, I hope you won't contact Zhang Kun anymore."
"Okay." I nodded, "I will."
"Then we'll leave first." Zhang Xue pulled Li Mengmeng away.
...
After they left, I let out a sigh of relief.
Pei Chenyi looked at me and said softly, "I'm sorry; I was too impulsive just now."
"..."
I didn't say anything.
Pei Chenyi sighed, "I saw your eyes were red and swollen and thought you had been crying, so..."
"..."
He was so agitated because of this. I looked at him and asked, "Then why didn't you let me explain just now?"
"I..." Pei Chenyi hesitated for a moment, "I was afraid you would be bullied by them."
I was stunned. He... he was worried I would be bullied? Was he trying to protect me? My heart inexplicably raced.
At that moment, Qin Jin rushed over. He looked at us and asked, "What happened?"
Pei Chenyi briefly explained the situation. After hearing it, Qin Jin sighed in relief, "So it was just a misunderstanding."
"Yeah," Pei Chenyi nodded, "It's all clear now."
"That's good," Qin Jin smiled.
Finally, the workday ended. I came out of the commercial plaza in the city center and caught sight of Pei Chenyi standing by the roadside. We greeted each other with a knowing nod. Pei Chenyi used a mobile app to call a taxi. We both settled into our seats one after the other. After such a hectic day, we were both exhausted. Pei Chenyi had his eyes half-closed but suddenly remembered two serious questions.
"Can I ask why you were crying all day today?"
I was taken aback and awkwardly replied, "Was it that obvious? Alright, alright... Actually, I was just bored last night and went through that set of signed books I plan to give to Du Mei in a few days—specifically, Lu Rong's 'Eyes in the Dark Night.'"
