Rebirth: Once Again With You

Shao Jingfei's curiosity was tingling. He knew spying on people was wrong, but he wanted to know what relationship the two of them had.

Dai Zhiqiang had been absent from school for a long time. He didn't even attend the final exam, so Shao Jingfei wondered where he had gone. It was unexpected to run into him like this.

Shao Jingfei stealthily moved closer and chose to sit at the closest table to them. It was a shame that he couldn't get a table beside them. Like this, he couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Dai Zhiqiang looked paler than usual, and Xia Rouyue had a severe expression on her face. Whatever they talked about must be pretty important.

Shao Jingfei was observing them from a safe distance when a waitress suddenly blocked his sight. She asked him what he wanted to order, and Shao Jingfei only randomly pointed his finger at the menu while keeping his eyes on them.

"Thank you for your order. Please wait while we prepare your order."

The waitress distracted him for a moment, and when he shifted his gaze back at them, he witnessed Dai Zhiqiang caressing Xia Rouyue's face affectionately.

His jaw almost dropped to the ground. That kind of intimate gesture could only imply one thing. Either they were family or lovers!

Shao Jingfei was dumbstruck when he thought about how he had just witnessed an affair with his own two eyes. Not to mention, the related parties were his matchmaking partner and his friend's boyfriend!

The coincidence was just too much for him to bear. He felt uncomfortable when he thought about Li Caiyi, who would be saddened by this fact.

Dai Zhiqiang looked like an honest, straight-laced guy who would never commit adultery. Still, Shao Jingfei personally wasn't that close to him to completely erase the possibility.

He wanted to go there and confront them directly but decided to lay low for now. Even if he suspected them, he should at least give Dai Zhiqiang the benefit of the doubt. The guy probably just helped her to pick some fallen eyelashes or something.

Yeah, that could be it.

Thinking about it like that, Shao Jingfei became calmer and observed them again. But in the next moment, Xia Rouyue suddenly went forward and grabbed Dai Zhiqiang's hand in hers!

Shao Jingfei almost choked back on his own saliva. Xia Rouyue seemed to be a conservative girl, but who would have guessed she was so daring? And Dai Zhiqiang didn't seem to be against it either, as he didn't push her hand away.

'This is crazy! I think they are the real deal!' Shao Jingfei shrieked inwardly.

Before he could second guess himself, he took out his phone and recorded the scene. The camera captured everything when suddenly a body blocked his sight again. When he looked up, the waitress from before had already returned with a huge parfait.

"Here is the Pink Lovers Parfait Tic for you. I hope you enjoy it!"

Shao Jingfei wasn't the only one shocked by the sheer size of the parfait. Few other customers also stared at him pitifully or weirdly. Why would he order something that should be a couple menu for himself? He must be heartbroken.

Shao Jingfei felt burdened by the stare, but looking at the parfait before him was enough to make his stomach burn. It had a portion for four people at least, with all kinds of cream and sweet toppings stuffed into one giant glass.

He enjoyed baking sweets, but even he couldn't eat this many sweets either.

"This is why one should look at the menu carefully when ordering…." Shao Jingfei muttered before putting the parfait aside for now.

He was about to continue where he had left off when he finally noticed that both Dai Zhiqiang and Xia Rouyue had left their seats.

"Where did they go?!" Shao Jingfei stood up while looking around and found them walking toward the exit.

He was ready to chase them when he saw a waiter walk past them and bump into Xia Rouyue.

The food and drinks on the waiter's tray almost fell on her. She closed her eyes tightly, bracing for the impact. However, Dai Zhiqiang swiftly pulled her into his embrace and covered her like a protective boyfriend.

*CRASH*

The sound of plates crashing to the floor reverberated through the room and caught everyone's attention.

The waiter apologized to them profusely while Dai Zhiqiang was busy making sure that Xia Rouyue was alright. He even took off his jacket to cover her dress which got stained from the drink.

"Oh my gosh, look at them. Aren't they just the cutest couple?"

"I know, right? The boyfriend is so romantic. I wish my boyfriend could be at least half as considerate."

"Poor girl. The cafe manager better makes it up to them for ruining their date."

It took Shao Jingfei a few seconds before he realized the camera on his phone was still running. He just captured that 'romantic' moment perfectly. Looking around, he noticed that other people recorded what happened on their phones.

He had a headache thinking about what his stepmother and brother would say if this circulated on the internet, but that wasn't the most important thing. Dai Zhiqiang and Xia Ruoyue were about to leave the cafe!

Shao Jingfei put some money on the table before running out of the place. But those two were already nowhere to be seen.

What should he do? He wasn't sure whether he should let Li Caiyi know about this. Thinking about how she might get hurt after finding out about this made him hesitate.

He just happened to see them. There was a chance that this could be a huge misunderstanding too.

But whether it was a misunderstanding or not, wouldn't Li Caiyi still have the right to know? The vibes between Dai Zhiqiang and Xia Rouyue were highly suspicious too. Even the other customers thought they were a couple after witnessing how affectionate they were.

Shao Jingfei was torn into two and scratched his head in frustration. "Agh, this is too troublesome! I don't know what to do!"
