Volume 1 Chapter 86 (1/2)

Does he like men?

Xu Yi was stunned. When he looked back, he saw that Akali had appeared outside the door at an unknown time and was currently leaning on the door. She looked at him and Evita with a smile that almost didn’t seem to be there on her face.

“Akali, what nonsense are you saying!” Evita reprimanded Akali before quickly moving to the window, pulling up all the blinds.

Seeing Evita whose face was completely red under the sunlight, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. Evita’s face really was thin.

He looked back at Akali and when his eyes passed over her neck, Xu Yi was surprised to find a necklace around her neck.

Although this necklace looked quite finely made, it clearly couldn’t compare to the one president Rank had given Akali at the banquet.

Xu Yi pointed at Akali’s neck and asked in a confused voice, “Since you like wearing necklaces, why don’t you wear the one president Rank gave you? It’s more suited to you compared to this one?”

“The one from president Rank……” A somewhat unnatural expression appeared on Akali’s face and a bitter smile that wasn’t easy to see appeared before she turned to head downstairs.

Xu Yi was even more confused. He was just asking about a necklace, why was Akali’s reaction so strange?

“Did something happen to her in the past few days?” Xu Yi asked Evita in a daze.

Evita shook her head in an astonished manner, “Nothing. Chairman, so that necklace wasn’t something you gave her?”

“Me?” Xu Yi also shook his head, “That necklace was given to her by the Sarank Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Rank, it isn’t related to me.”

“So it’s the Sarank Chamber of Commerce, no wonder it’s so beautiful.” Evita gave a slight now before looking at Xu Yi and revealing a smile, “Chairman, president Rank definitely gave Akali that necklace because of you, so it isn’t wrong to say that you gave it to her.”

“No, no, no, you can’t say it like that.” Xu Yi quickly waved his hand, “President Rank giving it to her and me giving it to her has completely different meanings, you can’t randomly say stuff.”

“That’s right, sir chairman is not my boyfriend and didn’t agree to my proposal, so that necklace can’t be considered something you gave me.” Akali’s voice faintly came from outside the door again.

When Xu Yi turned back, he found that Akali had come back with a box in her hand. It was the box president Rank had given Akali to hold the necklace that day.

Seeing Xu Yi look over, Akali took two steps forward and put the box in Xu Yi’s hands.

“Chairman, help me return this necklace back to president Rank, I’m not qualified to wear it.”

Xu Yi knit his brows and didn’t accept the box, rather he seriously looked at Akali. Although her expression was very calm, the corner of her brow and her nose kept twitching, showing that her heart was not calm.

Xu Yi looked at Evita with a look of inquiry, but Evita shook her head.

Thinking about it, Xu Yi tentatively asked, “Akali, this was the gift president Rank gave you. If you return it to him, it will be very rude to him and he might misunderstand your meaning. I think…..”

“I don’t care! Anyway I’m not qualified to wear it!” Akali cut Xu Yi off in a loud voice.

Xu Yi never thought that Akali’s reaction would be this strong and couldn’t help falling into a daze. He looked at Akali’s expression for a while before giving a sigh in his heart and reached out to take the box.

“Alright, since you insist on not wanting it, I’ll take it. But this can’t be returned to president Rank, you can’t let him misunderstand.”

“It’s fine if you return it to president Rank or not, I just don’t want it!” Akali firmly said.

Looking at the aggrieved Akali, Xu Yi couldn’t help giving a bitter laugh. He thought that whether it was on earth or on this continent, the thoughts of a girl who wasn’t twenty years old yet was still the hardest to guess.

He thought that he could discuss the combination of Fluorescent Grass and the Flashing Thunder Array with Evita before mooching off some food, but with the current atmosphere, it wasn’t good for him to stay here.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi gave Evita his thoughts. He had Evita keep studying the Fluorescent Grass and it would be best to guarantee that the Fluorescent Grass could release continuous and stable light. As well, he wanted it to change in light intensity and even adjust it at will.

Evita agreed to his requests one by one.

While Xu Yi was talking, Akali stood on the side without any expression the entire time and not saying anything, making the atmosphere very awkward.

After giving his thoughts with great difficulty, Xu Y directly said goodbye to the two of them.

He looked at Akali before leaving and after a pause, Xu Yi couldn’t help saying, “Akali, if you have any ideas, you can just talk to me. We’ve known each other for a few months and you should know that I’m a person who isn’t good at talking. Of course, if you think it is something that isn’t good for you to talk to me about, you have Evita and Still, your two good friends who you can talk to. In short…...You and Evita left home to come to Banta City to work for our Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so I don’t want you to live bad lives here, do you understand?”

Akali bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

Xu Yi gave a sigh and looked at Evita a few times while pointing at Akali.

Evita gave a slight nod, signaling to Xu Yi to be assured.
