If You Are a Dodder Flower Chapter 64 part1

The restaurant was an ordinary restaurant. The tables there weren’t large enough, so they pulled a few square tables together. And even then, they had to divide into two groups.

Zou Yue was the proxy president, so she had to take care of a lot of things. Just as she turned to ask Wei Qi to sit beside her, she turned her head to see that… Wei Qi had already sat down across from Xia Rou.

Zou Yue froze, wanting to go over to Wei Qi’s side, but then felt that would be too revealing. She had not confessed her love to Wei Qi until now. But somehow, she felt that she had liked Wei Qi for so many years, so he should have an inkling of it already.

Xia Rou took off her coat and hung it off the back of her chair. When she turned around, Wei Qi was already seated across from her, looking at her passionately.

Xia Rou paused for a moment, revealing a faint smile.

Inside Wei Qi’s heart, it was like a flower bloomed all of a sudden. The grass was budding and the oriole flew in the winter!

A boy sat down right next to Wei Qi and was immediately poked on the back of his hand by another girl. She scolded, “Read the room and sit somewhere else!”

He was a little slow. He was still confused as he was pulled to the side. The girl who spoke wanted to leave an empty seat for Zou Yue.

However, Wei Qi grabbed the boy and smiled. “Don’t go. If you go, who’s going to drink with me?” He dragged him forcefully back to the seat.

Since he had spoken, others had no room to speak. Zou Yue sat at the end of the table, which at least suited her identity as the proxy president.

When the menu came, everyone happily ordered their food. The menu was passed to Zou Yue last, and she added some food and paid the bill with the club funds.

She returned the menu to the waiter and raised her head to see Wei Qi speaking with Xia Rou.

“I didn’t hit you too hard today, right?” He was asking carefully.

“No,” Xia Rou said, shaking her head softly. Translated by The Novelst

“Then good,” Wei Qi was relieved. “I was nervous, so I was afraid I wasn’t able to control my strength properly.”

Actually, it was true that the slap wasn’t well-controlled. It was too soft, and everyone felt that it was too fake. But… many girls had come to look at this handsome guy anyway. One flaw could not obscure the splendor of the jade.

The dishes were then served alongside beers and drinks. Zou Yue held her cup, stood up and gave a brief speech, praising a few and thanking others. She thanked Wei Qi last and toasted him. Wei Qi smiled and lifted his glass in response.

The atmosphere turned warm as everyone ate and drank, talking and laughing.

Slowly, people began to notice Wei Qi’s attention towards Xia Rou.

He picked food for her and filled her cup with drinks. Then, feeling that her drink was too cold, ordered a cup of hot tea for her…

There were usually many girls in the drama club, and they were all quite sensitive. Gradually, they noticed something that wasn’t right. Senior Wei’s passion… he had obviously taken a fancy to Xia Rou!

Then someone secretly glanced at Zou Yue. The smile on her face was very stiff.

Wei Qi… He was still the same as in the past. He was very energetic and passionate.

The only difference she noticed was because since she had met him after she entered the company, a few years down the line. At that time, the student look of his had faded and he was a positive, enthusiastic young man.

He was different than Xia Rou, who dawdled in the office. Wei Qi was the backbone of the department – respected by the leaders. No matter where he went, he would bring sunshine along with him.

As the dinner continued on, everyone began to realize the game was set for Zou Yue.

Senior Wei openly showed his attitude of trying to woo Xia Rou.

Most of the people there had met Senior Wei before. Even last year, Senior Wei had remained in touch with everyone. Everyone had always believed that even if it wasn’t just yet, that Zou Yue and Senior Wei would eventually get together sooner or later, especially since Senior Wei had accepted Zou Yue’s invitation to help their club twice now.

Senior Wei’s attitude towards Zou Yue had always been gentle and considerate.

But there was no harm without contrast. The girls finally understood that a boy’s attitude could change so much when facing a girl he liked and a girl he didn’t like.

Indeed, Wei Qi had always been gentle toward Zou Yue. But that was it.

But when Wei Qi looked at Xia Rou, his eyes were too bright. The scorching look in his eyes couldn’t be ignored. There was no need for him to confess. His gaze clearly expressed his feelings to Xia Rou.

The atmosphere at the dining table became awkward because of this. People started to strike up conversations deliberately. And because they were all deliberate, the atmosphere was weird.

When it came time to pay the bill, Zou Yue’s expression was very dim.

Since she held the club’s funds, she stood up and followed the waiter to pay the bill. She overheard Wei Qi say, “If you like her works, I have a lot in my house. When are you free? I can bring them to you. Is Saturday fine? In the morning or afternoon?”

Then Xia Rou answered, “I need to go home on the weekends.”

“Oh, are you local?” was his response. “My house is in Hu City, it’s not too far from the capital. Here, this is my business card. My phone number is at the top…”

In their club, several boys had tried to chase Xia Rou. She hadn’t accepted any of them. Those who had arranged candles, showed off their BMWs – none of them had been able to win over Xia Rou’s heart.

Zou Yue wanted to continue listening to their conversation to see whether or not Xia Rou would accept, but the waiter was rushing her. If she still stood there without moving a step, it wouldn’t look very good.

She took a few heavy steps and followed the waiter away, unable to hear Xia Rou’s answer.

When she paid the bill and returned, everyone had begun to wear their coats. Xia Rou wrapped her scarf around her neck, unable to speak. But the smile on Wei Qi’s face, who was standing across from here, was very bright.

Zou Yue’s heart sunk deep. Translated by The Novelst

After leaving the restaurant, she said to Wei Qi, “Senior, thank you for your hard work today. You should get going early.”

But Wei Qi glanced at Xia Rou, smiled, and said, “I’ll send you guys off to school.”

There were already a few boys in the club so there was really no need for another to send them off. But no one spoke up. A few of the boys exchanged glances and winks with one another.
