Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Of course not!" Lin Xi retorted subconsciously.

But she spoke too quickly, which made it sound as if she was trying to hide something. The waitress seemed to understand something instantly. She blinked at Lin Xi, smiled knowingly, and said with a cough, "Oh, I understand, I understand. You are still friends for now, right?" She paused here, patted Lin Xi's shoulder solemnly with the attitude of an experienced person, and continued, "But don't be shy. Although this handsome guy looks a little thin, he is much more handsome than your boss. You must seize the opportunity."

Lin Xi was stunned and looked at Ye Huai, who had obviously heard their conversation and whose expression became inexplicable. She wanted to cover the mouth of this waitress and drag her away from this place of trouble.

But before Lin Xi could make any move, Ye Huai, who was sitting opposite her, spoke first. He looked calm, with a gentle smile on his face. He extended his hand to the waiter and said, "Hello, I'm Xixi's roommate. She always mentioned you to me, saying that every time she came to your store to buy coffee, you took extra care of her and that you were a very warm and kind person. When I saw you today, it was indeed true."

Ye Huai had a handsome face, and seemed indifferent and aloof when he wasn't smiling, but now his expression had softened, and he was deliberately disguising himself in front of outsiders, so he looked particularly gentle, polite, and quite deceptive. He pronounced the word "roommate" in a particularly ambiguous way, and gave Lin Xi an affectionate look, as if he was a little helpless about her decisive answer just now, "Of course not".

Sure enough, when the waiter saw such a handsome and elegant guy extending his hand to him and speaking so nicely, he first looked at Lin Xi with some disappointment, and then showed a rare expression of restraint. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ye Huai embarrassedly, "Hello, hello, no, no, I'm not as nice as she said, but I'm a talkative person. It's rare to see a girl as beautiful as your roommate, so I will say a few more words to her."

"What should I call you? I see the store is not busy now. If you don't mind, can we invite you to sit down and have a cup of coffee?" Ye Huai caught a glimpse of Lin Xi's dumbfounded expression out of the corner of his eye, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued to speak to the waiter.

"Just call me Feifei. No need to drink coffee. If our manager finds out, your salary will be deducted. I won't disturb your time alone. I'll get busy first." After Feifei finished speaking, she gave Lin Xi a look that said, "This handsome guy is great. You have to cherish him." She then left the table with a wink, looking as if she had been hurt.

Lin Xi watched Feifei leave with a complicated expression, then turned around and looked at Ye Huai opposite her as if nothing had happened. For a moment, she didn't know what expression to use to face him.

However, Ye Huai calmly picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. Then he frowned and put it down. Then he looked at Lin Xi opposite him and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why did you say that?" Lin Xi asked with a conflicted look.

"What?" Ye Huai seemed puzzled.

"That is to say, we are, are 'roommates'." Lin Xi stammered, not daring to look at him.

Ye Huai raised his eyebrows and asked instead of answering: "Then what should I say? Aren't we roommates?"

"You can say we are cousins. Look at her expression, it's obvious that she has misunderstood." Seeing his self-righteous look, Lin Xi frowned and muttered.

"Cousins? I've never seen a cousin do that to a cousin. If we were cousins, she would probably misunderstand us even more." Ye Huai seemed to have finally seen a confused rabbit jump into his carefully designed trap, showing a triumphant smile, and then continued, "Or do you not want to take responsibility again?"

Lin Xi suddenly became like a cunning little snake that was pinched at the edge of its throat. She silently retracted her fangs and looked around guiltily. After making sure that no one heard her, she lowered her voice and gritted her teeth and said, "Why do you keep harping on this? I'm drunk and I don't even remember what happened."

"If you don't remember, can you just pretend nothing happened? If you really can't remember, I can help you recall. You first hugged my waist and wouldn't let go, then you put your head closer, and then... well..."

Lin Xi couldn't help it any longer, and she stretched out her hand to cover his chattering mouth, her face red as if bleeding, "Stop talking, stop talking, it's all my fault, isn't it enough for me to apologize to you?"

Ye Huai's mouth was covered by her, but he did not show any dissatisfaction. He just stared at Lin Xi quietly with his deep eyes, which made her feel numb. She lowered her eyelids and dared not look at him.

The two of them remained in this position for a while, and finally Lin Xi was defeated. She let go of his hand with a frustrated look and said resignedly: "Don't say anything, let's talk about it. What exactly do you want to be satisfied with?"

"I have been talking to you in a positive way, but you have been avoiding the problem. You have been avoiding me since that night. If I hadn't taken the initiative to find you yesterday, I don't know how long you would have avoided me." Seeing that she was finally able to face the problem between them, Ye Huai also straightened his expression and spoke solemnly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to know how you can get over this." Lin Xi bit her lip and continued, "No matter what you ask, I will agree to it as long as you forgive me."

"Any requests?" A dark light flashed in Ye Huai's eyes.

"As long as it does not violate the core socialist values, any request is acceptable. Whether you want me to go through fire and water for you, or work like a slave for you, I will..." Lin Xi hesitated for a moment and spoke with a firm look. But before she could finish her words of loyalty, Ye Huai interrupted her.

"Then I ask you to be responsible for me." Ye Huai said calmly but firmly, "You don't have to go through fire and water, or work like a slave. I just want you to be responsible for me."

Lin Xi: ...

"But, but we are cousins. If we are together, then it's not, it's not..." Seeing that the topic came back again, Lin Xi couldn't help scratching his head.

"It's not what? Incest? We are just cousins in name only. There is no basis to prohibit our union, either legally or morally." Ye Huai's eyes were as dark as ink, staring at Lin Xi steadily, with an undisguised heat in his eyes.

As if burned by his burning gaze, Lin Xi hurriedly avoided his sight, stammering and trying to find an excuse: "But, if we do this, grandpa and our parents will not agree."

"These are not the problems. The only problem now is..." Ye Huai rubbed his fingers imperceptibly. His voice was a little hoarse, like a siren tempting the ship to crash into the reef. He spoke in a low voice, "Do you like me?"
