"Of course he’s on my side." Mentioning Leng Zirui, Luo Xiaoqian casually recalled the recent events. "What’s going on with you two?"
"Him and me?!" Xu Xia snorted. "That bastard, I’m utterly opposed to him!"
"What happened?" Luo Xiaoqian asked, bewildered.
Initially, Xu Xia had only a passing acquaintance with Leng Zirui, having met him face-to-face a few times without any interaction. After five years, their first meeting turned into mutual opposition, which naturally puzzled Luo Xiaoqian.
"That guy nearly got me arrested by the cops!" Xu Xia said angrily.
"Did you get into trouble again?"
"I... I accidentally hit his car. I apologized and offered compensation, but he insisted I was driving under the influence. All I did was eat some liquor chocolates!" Xu Xia complained through gritted teeth. "As if accusing me of drunk driving wasn’t enough, he also behaved like a hooligan!"
"That can’t be true, right?" Luo Xiaoqian was somewhat skeptical. As carefree and irresponsible as Leng Zirui might seem, Luo Xiaoqian knew very well that such behavior was only superficial. That man definitely wasn’t like that. Examining Xu Xia’s face, Luo Xiaoqian gently tapped her on the arm. "You probably lost your temper at him first, didn’t you?"
Knowing her friend all too well, Luo Xiaoqian immediately suspected that Xu Xia was partly responsible, based on her past behavior.
"Are you even my friend, always siding with guys over me?" Xu Xia pouted. "It was wrong of me to hit his car, but I really did apologize and didn’t lose my temper."
"Really didn’t?" Luo Xiaoqian asked with a smile.
"..." Xu Xia pursed her lips. "I was just really upset, so I kissed him. I was scared the cops would arrest me. If something really happened, my career would be ruined..."
