I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 623 - 632 The First Love That Can’t Be Let Go Is The Original Sentiment

Chapter 623: Chapter 632 The First Love That Can’t Be Let Go Is The Original Sentiment

Nan Xi was completely dumbfounded. He just walked away like that?

Shouldn’t he have been especially gentle, then say, "You’re so understanding, let me stay with you longer, work isn’t important"?

Why wasn’t Ouyang normal either, not at all like the one she’d written about?

Could it be because her way of entering the story was wrong?

Ouyang had seen Nan Xi’s expression, but so what? His most important concern at the moment was Bai Zhi.

That so-called liking disappeared the moment he saw that pancake face.

Besides, it wasn’t of any use.

Though frustrated, Nan Xi quickly adjusted her mood and said this to Ouyang,

"Brother Ouyang, take care on the road, I believe you’re the best."

"Okay."

Who doesn’t like to hear nice things? At that moment, Ouyang felt pretty good hearing those words.

Arriving in front of the small restaurant where he would learn from Bai Zhi, he tidied up his hair before slowly going inside.

Thinking about what to say to make Bai Zhi willingly give him the recipe.

That Bai Xiang really was asking for too much. If he really wanted to collaborate, why did he have to seek out Bai Zhi when he could have looked for someone else?

Getting the greatest benefit at the least cost was what he wanted to do.

Believing he was in his best state, he went inside, thinking he would see Bai Zhi’s adoring face. However...

Bai Zhi and Bai Xiang had already started eating. They had made some stir-fried pork and another dish.

Beside them sat Wu Wa, who was eating voraciously.

"You..." he said with a dark face, his expression somewhat stiff, "why didn’t you wait for me to eat?"

Bai Zhi put down her chopsticks, looking at Ouyang with some confusion.

"Why should we wait for you to eat?"

She doesn’t recall having agreed to eat with him.

"Aren’t you the one who asked me to come here to talk about the collaboration?"

Ouyang was stunned too; although Bai Zhi didn’t say it, wasn’t discussing the collaboration the same as saying they would eat together?

"Yes, but I didn’t say I’d eat with you. You’re the one wanting to collaborate, so today I was waiting with my brother. We only want to be agents, not to sell the recipe. It’s best if you can accept that, but if not, then there’s nothing we can do about it."

Bai Zhi watched him calmly, word by word.

What Ouyang thought didn’t matter; what was always important was her own thoughts.

She once believed that the boy she saved would never despise her, but in the end, it was all the same.

In fact, she’d long forgotten what Ouyang first looked like, only vaguely remembering the anxiousness in her heart back then.

Now, she felt nothing.

Perhaps what she cared about was not the person, but the emotion she had at the time.

That feeling of secretly liking someone, that anxiety.

The desire to be acknowledged, thinking there was hope, but ending up in despair.

Who that person was and what they looked like didn’t matter anymore.

What mattered most was her feelings at that time.

Some say your first love is always the hardest to forget, but to Bai Zhi, it isn’t the person that’s unforgettable but the wholehearted effort.

Not caring about gains or losses, simply wanting to be with that person because of affection.

Caring because of his smile, anxious because of his frown, wondering why.

Wanting to tell him how she feels, wanting to see his smile.

Unable to sleep happily because of a word he said, or feeling secretly hurt because of another.

What one cherishes about a first love is not the person but the emotions.

So facing Ouyang, all she wanted to say was, back then, she had been blind.

Anyone would think it’s childish; it was just the folly of youth.

Oh, looking at Ouyang now didn’t leave her entirely without feelings; there were some indeed, the feeling of revulsion, as if she wanted to vomit.

Ouyang: "..."

"I thought we were friends."

Ouyang, with a melancholic and heartbroken expression, looked at Bai Zhi as if she were a betrayer.

"So that was just what you thought, being narcissistic is not off the table, but you shouldn’t be so presumptuous."

Bai Zhi sneered coldly, some people are just too full of themselves, always believing their charm is overwhelming, but in reality, they are nothing.

Ouyang: "..." Why did it feel like Bai Zhi’s words were so piercing for the first time?

Or perhaps she had always been this sharp, only he hadn’t paid attention.

"How can we continue to be friends like this?"

Besides, wasn’t Bai Zhi supposed to like him? Still delusional about his affections, such impossibility.

That was really too much.

"Ouyang, could it be you’re misunderstanding something? I said we are not friends. If you want to cooperate then let’s cooperate, but if you’re unwilling, I believe the pharmacy across the street would be quite willing. You need to understand that we only need one agent per town.

We offer the same price to everyone, take a look here and see if you can accept it."

Bai Zhi presented her price directly; if he could accept it, they’d cooperate, and if not, they wouldn’t.

Moreover...

The other pharmacy belongs to her master. If we don’t cooperate, in two months there will naturally be better pills.

Digging a hole for Ouyang, she would definitely spare no effort.

The grievances of the past years were indeed insurmountable; after all, cooperation was actually...

Actually, she just wasn’t that magnanimous; if he didn’t want to cooperate, then so be it.

So, in fact, it all depends on whether Ouyang would be greedy, that’s the principle.

If he wasn’t greedy, then there would be no issue.

"Let me see..."

Ouyang was infuriated inside and even more disgruntled with Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi really lacked any discernment, but he had to keep looking.

Because he couldn’t afford to lose this deal, he had already boasted about it. Surely he couldn’t just let it slide.

Wouldn’t his grandfather trust those illegitimate sons even more?

Looking over the terms, there was absolutely no difference from the contract Bai Xiang had shown him before.

"I think it’s okay..." he said gritting his teeth, genuinely upset and in pain, both emotionally and financially...

His kickbacks were gone just like that...

"Here’s the agreement, check it out, then think it over and decide if you want to sign it or not. If you don’t want to, we won’t force you."

Bai Xiang directly produced the agreement, which Ouyang had already seen but never signed.

Thinking it likely that his cousin might change her mind? Stop dreaming...

Ouyang didn’t bother looking further, as it was all the same.

After signing, he just had to wait to pick up the goods.

"When can I expect my first batch to be ready? Will you manage on time, or do you need my help?"

The implication being, if needed, I’ll come, but actually... he just wanted to steal a look.

"Thank you, but that won’t be necessary."

Bai Xiang flatly refused him. Would he give Ouyang a glimpse of his trade secrets?

In the end, Ouyang could only leave with reluctance. For some reason, he suddenly said,

"Nan Xi has woken up, Bai Zhi, would you like me to accompany you to see her?"

He thought this would surely move Bai Zhi, that he was overtly taking her side.

"No need, I won’t go. It’s none of my concern. You may leave."

Bai Z’hi’s mouth twitched; where did he get the gall to suggest she visit Nan Xi? Was he sick or something? ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Ouyang: "..."

"Then I’m leaving now..."

Ouyang looked back three times with every step, still hoping Bai Zhi would say something.
