Chapter 168 What’s going on?

"Thank you, I really appreciate it." Li Xiangqian smiled, "I will face my troubles and work hard to solve them."

Lou Xiao'e, Liu Lan and Li Xiangqian were sitting in a private room of a tavern. The tavern was filled with the faint aroma of wine. Under the dim light, the three of them were in a heavy mood.

"I'm so unlucky today." Lou Xiao'e picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the liquor, and frowned. "My work is not going well, and my relationship has problems. I'm so unlucky."

Liu Lan gently patted Lou Xiao'e's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be sad, there will always be a way to solve the problem."

Li Xiangqian drank the wine in his hand silently, but his heart was in a mess. He knew that Lou Xiaoe had a crush on him, but he was not sure what his feelings for her were. On the other hand, he still couldn't forget Yu Li in his heart, and her shadow was always lingering.

"Li Xiangqian, what's wrong with you?" Liu Lan looked at Li Xiangqian's expression and sensed his uneasiness. "Is there anything you can share with us?"

Li Xiangqian was silent for a while, then sighed, "Actually, I've had some troubles recently."

"Is it about emotional issues?" Lou Xiao'e suddenly interrupted, "If so, you can tell us about it."

Li Xiangqian hesitated for a while, but finally decided to tell his friend. "Actually... I'm a little confused about my feelings," he said. "I don't know who I like, and I don't know how to choose."

Liu Lan and Lou Xiao'e were touched by Li Xiangqian's words. They knew that Li Xiangqian was always a passive person, but they didn't expect that he was so entangled in his heart.

"Li Xiangqian, love is indeed complicated." Liu Lan said, "But you have to believe in yourself, trust your feelings, and choose the right person."

Lou Xiao'e also comforted him, "Yes, Li Xiangqian, don't worry too much, just let it go, and everything will become clear slowly."

Li nodded. He knew his friends were doing this for his own good. He looked up, smiled at them and said, "Thank you. I'll think about it carefully."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the pub suddenly became a little lively. A group of young people walked into the box, chatting and laughing, not affected by the outside world at all.

When Lou Xiao'e saw them, she suddenly felt the need to release her emotions. She raised the wine glass in her hand, took a big sip of the liquor, and then laughed out loud.

"Come on, let's drink together and stop thinking about all those troubles!" Lou Xiao'e said excitedly, "Today we are here to have some fun!"

Liu Lan and Li Xiangqian looked at Lou Xiao'e's behavior and were a little surprised. They knew that Lou Xiao'e was usually a relatively introverted person, and they didn't expect her to be so open today.

"That's right!" Liu Lan also became excited, "Today we are here to indulge ourselves!"

Although Li Xiangqian was a little hesitant, he eventually joined everyone in drinking. The stimulation of alcohol made them relaxed, and they began to talk about interesting things in the past and share their feelings.

Time passed quietly, and the atmosphere in the pub became more and more heated. Lou Xiao'e seemed to be drunk, and she couldn't help but get close to Li Xiangqian, put her arm around his shoulders, and kept telling jokes.

Li Xiangqian felt a little uncomfortable, but was too embarrassed to push Lou Xiaoe away. He looked at her drunken appearance, feeling both distressed and helpless.

Just as the atmosphere in the pub was getting lively and Lou Xiao'e was hugging Li Xiangqian and talking and laughing happily, a sudden voice broke the joyful atmosphere at the moment.

"What's going on?" A clear voice sounded, and Yu Li pushed open the door of the box and walked in. Her eyes immediately fell on Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiaoe, and her expression immediately became complicated.

"Yu Li!" Lou Xiao'e was a little excited when she saw Yu Li coming in. "You're here! We are drinking here, come and have a drink!"

Yu Li saw Lou Xiao'e hugging Li Xiangqian with a look of surprise, and she instantly had a bad feeling. She quickly walked to Li Xiangqian and frowned, "Li Xiangqian, why are you here?"

Li Xiangqian was a little flustered when he saw Yu Li appear. He knew it would be difficult for him to explain clearly. He moved his lips, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

Lou Xiao'e was also a little embarrassed when she saw Yu Li's expression. She knew that her actions might cause Yu Li to misunderstand her. "Yu Li, we..."

"Stop talking!" Yu Li interrupted Lou Xiao'e, "I don't want to hear your explanation."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Liu Lan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Yu Li, we just happened to come here and didn't expect to meet you."

Yu Li felt a little unhappy after hearing what Liu Lan said. "Liu Lan, you don't have to defend them." She said coldly, "I know who I should believe."

Li Xiangqian felt heartbroken when he saw Yu Li's expression. He knew that he had lost trust in Yu Li, and it was all his fault.

"Yu Li, actually..." Li Xiangqian wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start.

At this moment, a young woman walked in from outside. When she saw Yu Li's expression, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. "Yu Li, I...I shouldn't have concealed your coming."

Yu Li frowned when she saw the person coming. "Xu Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you?" she asked sternly.

Xu Xiaofeng was a little flustered, but she said firmly: "I saw Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e together, so I won't tell you."

Yu Li became even more angry after hearing what Xu Xiaofeng said. "What kind of logic is this?" she said angrily, "Just because you saw them together, you can hide it from me? Don't you know that I am very important to Li Xiangqian?"

Xu Xiaofeng felt guilty after hearing Yu Li's rebuke. "I'm sorry, Yu Li, I shouldn't have done this." She lowered her head, her face full of guilt.

Yu Li looked at Xu Xiaofeng's expression, and the anger in her heart slowly subsided. She knew that Xu Xiaofeng was a good friend, but she just did something wrong in this matter.

"Okay, I don't want to be angry anymore." Yu Li sighed, "I just hope that everyone can be honest with each other in the future and not hide anything anymore."

Xu Xiaofeng felt relieved after hearing Yu Li's words. "Thank you for your understanding, Yu Li, I will remember it."

At Yu Li's suggestion, everyone happily raised their glasses to toast to friendship and the twists and turns of life. However, Li Xiangqian's mood did not dance with their joy. He kept thinking about his inner confusion.
