Chapter 59: I really lost too much.
The sun was just right at noon, at Santa Ana Middle School and Dennis Coffee Shop.
The usually deserted coffee shop is now full of people. If Xu Yi were here, he would definitely recognize these people as his classmates.
Among the classmates, Maria stood out so much that even the coffee shop employees were peeking at her.
Only Maria was unaware of her own beauty, because her father's long-term suppression made her always think that she was average-looking.
She looked at the coffee in the cup, dazed.
"Maria, why did you take the exam early?" Lily glanced at Maria and spoke proactively, breaking the silence.
Maria has been mysterious recently, and even his best friend has rarely contacted Maria, especially other classmates.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was preparing to apply for college and the separation was imminent, she wouldn't have asked Maria out so easily.
"I felt almost ready, so I took the exam."
In fact, Maria lied. She had not planned to take the exam so early. There are several batches of the American College Entrance Examination every year.
She only followed Xu Yi after she saw him signing up.
"Maria, have you decided which university to apply for?" Lily then asked.
Lily's grades are considered to be at the bottom of the batch in school. Maria is better than her, above average, and can apply to quite a few universities.
"Tufts University!" Maria answered directly without hesitation.
"This is a private university, right? I heard there are a lot of rich people in this school." Lily said casually. She had very little research in this area and could only chat a few words.
As for why she went to this university, Maria didn’t explain much.
Of course she wouldn't tell these people that Tufts University is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, only about a 30-minute drive from MIT.
Others did not believe that Xu Yi could apply to MIT, but she believed it, so she checked the school in advance.
She and Xu Yi had no agreement, nor did they agree to go to that place to go to school together. She just subconsciously wanted to be closer to Xu Yi.
Maria and Lily were chatting away, and Drew next to her was a little impatient and winked at Lily frequently.
Lily glanced at Drew and curled her lips secretly.
At school before, Drew was a complete coward because of Martin. Now that Martin is gone, he actually comes out to show his courtesy.
But who told her to accept Drew's favor, a bag she has liked for a long time, otherwise she would not be too lazy to hold a class party and would have gone to the KTV to have fun.
"Maria, have you still been in contact with that Xu Yi recently?" Lily suddenly changed her voice and asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Maria was instantly alert. Although she had a little inferiority complex, it didn't mean she was stupid. Why did the other party suddenly mention Xu Yi?
She wanted to say that of course there was a connection, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt secretly absent-minded.
She hasn't seen Xu Yi for a long time since Xu Yi took leave. As for contact information, she only knows that Xu Yi lives in Chinatown.
Two days ago, she went to Chinatown to find Xu Yi and found that Xu Yi's restaurant was being renovated, so naturally she couldn't see it.
Under such circumstances, can we still say that the two people are connected? Maria was silent.
Seeing Maria's silence, Lily's eyes lit up instantly, feeling that an opportunity had come.
"Xu Yi is indeed good-looking, but it's a pity that his father is just an ordinary chef in the Tang family, running a small restaurant. Anyone who follows Xu Yi will probably have to endure hardship." Lily said intentionally or unintentionally.
Maria secretly clenched the coffee cup in her hand.
She wanted to say that Xu Yi's father was not ordinary, and Ailan was a little afraid of him.
The other party didn't open a small restaurant. Although it was only half decorated, she could tell that the style after decoration was definitely not low.
"It is true that exorcists can make money, but this job is too dangerous. You may die at the hands of evil spirits one day."
Lily did not notice anything unusual about Maria and continued to talk to herself.
"That's right! That's right! What Lily said makes sense!" Drew ran out to increase his presence and nodded repeatedly.
Maria's hand holding the coffee cup began to turn white, and her eyes looking at Lily began to become dangerous.
She wasn't good at handling the situation, but she knew who was.
Just when she was about to release Ailan, a scream from the classmate next to her brought her back to her senses.
"The person outside the door seems to be Xu Yi!"
Xu Yi walked out of the stationery store carrying a big bag.
Inside the bag were some high-end drawing papers that he was going to use to draw exorcism portraits.
He has long been obsessed with paintings that can exorcise demons.
The sunshine at noon was a bit harsh. He walked to Dennis Cafe and planned to hide from the sun at the pavilion at the door. Arent would drive to pick him up soon.
"Xu Yi!"
Xu Yi turned around when he heard the movement behind him, his eyes lit up, "Maria, long time no see!"
Maria was wearing a white knitted shirt and a linen skirt. She looked pure, charming and a little bit... The style of a royal sister.
This was the first time he had seen Maria dressed like this, and he most likely took Ailan's advice into consideration.
Xu Yi suddenly felt that the sun was not so harsh anymore. Seeing a beautiful woman always makes you feel happy, especially when that beautiful woman has a good impression of you, it makes you twice as happy.
"Why are you here?" Maria's eyes were full of surprise when she saw Xu Yi.
"Buy something." Xu Yi shook the bag in her hand, and she glanced behind Maria, "Are you drinking coffee? I wonder if you can treat me, a poor boy, to a drink? I want something iced." Xu Yi just
said The purpose of making fun of myself was to get closer to Maria, but someone actually took it seriously.
"Why don't you drink if you can't afford it? You actually asked Maria to treat you!" Drew glanced at Xu Yi, with hostility in his eyes.
In fact, he had never met Xu Yi a few times, especially Xu Yi "now".
Even if he looks at it from the perspective of a love rival, he cannot admit that Xu Yi is really attractive to women. He has a handsome face, always has a faint smile on his face, is well-dressed and elegant.
The most rare thing is that there is a sense of mystery about the other party, which makes people want to explore.
The more Drew looked at Xu Yi, the more he felt confused. In comparison, he really lost too much!
"It doesn't matter! My family is rich! But the other party is just a poor boy!" Drew continued to hypnotize himself. Only in this way could he maintain a trace of fighting spirit.
Xu Yi glanced at the other party indifferently and saw the fierce look on the other side.
The smile on his lips did not change. This kind of person was not worthy of being his enemy, so he simply ignored him.
Maria ignored Drew and walked to the counter, ordered a glass of iced Americano, and then brought it to Xu Yi herself.
"It tastes good. It would be even better if we had some snacks!" Xu Yi took it and took a sip, feeling refreshed.
Maria obediently ordered French fries and grabbed a few donuts.
Drew felt like his lungs were going to explode when he saw the goddess in his mind acting well in front of others.
It's a pity that neither Xu Yi nor Maria ignored him at all, treating him as a ball of air.
He had to turn his attention to Lily for help.
Lily secretly cursed in vain, walked up to Xu Yi, smiled and said, "Xu Yi, are you waiting for the bus here?"
Xu Yi nodded without denying it.
"That's too bad. It's not easy to take a taxi here. I'm afraid you have to walk home. But Drew has a car, so you can ask him to give you a ride." Lily kindly "suggested".
Drew raised his head proudly, took out the car keys from his pocket, and stood next to a Chevrolet car.
This car was bought by his father. Although it is only a second-hand car, as a middle school student, it is already a great thing to own a car of his own.
With this car, he has hooked up with many girls recently.
"Forget it, I have to take Maria home, so I don't have time!" Drew stared at Maria, thinking that he should finally see through this poor boy's true face, right?
Unfortunately, he was ignored by Maria again.
At this moment, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz car drove slowly from the end of the street and stopped at the door of the cafe.
"Mr. Xu Yi, I'm very sorry. Your car has just been taken for maintenance, so you are a little late!" Arent ran out of the car, opened the rear door respectfully, and motioned for Xu Yi to get in the car.
The people at Santa Ana Middle School were stunned when they saw the Mercedes-Benz luxury car in front of them.
Lily's face was livid, and she felt like she had been slapped hard on the face. Drew squeezed the car keys in his hand, wanting to find a crack to get in.
Who said Xu Yi was a poor boy?
Not only are there luxury cars for pick-up and drop-off, but they are also equipped with professional drivers. This is not a proper wealthy man!
