Chapter 170 Xiao Xie’s lovelorn

At the end of the trade fair, Ming and his team made a fortune; no one expected that a piece of barbecue could bring them such huge profits.

However, this method probably won't work at the next conference, since they didn't hold back at all when grilling meat. But that's obviously intentional on their part. The Orc Continent should add some new cooking methods.

Besides, they found the chili peppers, and Lin Liuyi even revealed the hot pot recipe, so the hot pot should attract more customers in the future.

While Li Mingyue, Liu Mingyue, and Ming were all satisfied, Xiao Xie was depressed.

"Hey everyone, I've broken up with my boyfriend!" Xiao Xie looked like a sad big dog, her eyes red with sadness.

Grandma Liu gave Lin Liuyi and Princess Mingyue a look, as if to say, "See, I told you so!"

Lin Liuyi thought the same thing as Princess Mingyue; it turned out that what Old Lady Liu had said was actually true.

"Xiao Xie, tell us what exactly happened, and we'll analyze it for you."

Xiao Xie hung his head and began to tell his story.

“Didn’t I mention last time that we met during a supply gathering operation? He was from another team, and it just so happened that our two teams met at the same time. We also encountered a team from another base. While we were scrambling for supplies, my protective suit was secretly slashed by someone from the other base. Fang Chen noticed it first, and he immediately alerted me and even patched up the tear for me. I’ve always been very grateful to him for that. If he hadn’t noticed it first, I might have been contaminated by radiation. But today I found out that he was the one who slashed my suit. He’s actually an undercover agent from another base.” After saying this, Xiao Xie started sobbing.

After a moment of silence, Princess Mingyue spoke up, "Little Xie, perhaps he has his reasons."

"Pah, what excuse does he have? Besides, he doesn't like me at all; he likes women." Xiao Xie cried even louder.

As for how he discovered it, it wasn't actually him who discovered it; it was a girl from their base who came over and reminded him.

"Vice Dean, there's something I want to tell you."

Yuanyuan, a researcher at the base, came to see him. To thank Xiao Xie for the things he had provided, the base had given him the title of deputy director of the research institute.

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong? Is there anything we can't talk about with our relationship?"

Seeing Yuanyuan's hesitant manner, Xiao Xie thought that Yuanyuan wanted to ask him to collect some women's products.

"Um, I'll tell you, don't be angry. It's just that your boyfriend seems to be flirting with me," Yuanyuan said shyly.

"Fang Chen? That's impossible. Doesn't he dislike girls?" Xiao Xie initially didn't believe it at all.

"No, no, he didn't just flirt with me. It seems like all the girls in the research institute have been harassed by him, but no one has told you. I thought about it and decided to mention it to you anyway."

Yuanyuan looked at him anxiously, and Xiao Xie felt a little flustered.

After seeing Yuanyuan off, he began investigating Fang Chen.

In particular, Xiao Xie witnessed him using the pretense of picking her up to fawn over a female colleague at the research institute, and he even gave away the pollution-free vegetables she had given him to someone else.

The deeper Xiao Xie investigated, the colder his heart became. It turned out that Fang Chen had a purpose in approaching him from the very beginning.

He not only deliberately tore his protective suit to create the illusion of a hero saving a damsel in distress, but also fabricated various materials to get close to her.

He said he couldn't believe there was someone whose values ​​aligned so perfectly with his own. The other person could always understand and respond to anything he said. He thought they were soulmates, and that the other person was just taking advantage of him.

Xiao Xie felt like he was being played like a fool.

After Fang Chen was arrested, Xiao Xie couldn't help but run over to question him about why.

"What else could it be? Your base suddenly has pollution-free vegetable crops, wouldn't the other bases be envious? Do you think I'm the only undercover agent in your base? Let me tell you, there are plenty of undercover agents like me here." Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Fang Chen no longer tried to cover it up.

Why did you expose yourself?

"Oh, you figured it out? Sigh, it's because I never wanted to be an undercover agent. Your base is great, there's no hierarchy, everyone's working hard. I know you haven't released the planting methods because your research here isn't stable yet, but the other bases don't believe it. Actually, because you trusted me a lot, I found out quite a lot, but unfortunately, those idiots didn't believe it after I sent it back, they kept pressuring me, so I got annoyed and just exposed myself."

Xiao Xie thought Fang Chen would make up a lie to explain, but who knew he would actually tell the truth.

"So you've never liked me?" Xiao Xie asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Didn't you already know that?"

"Oh, right, you like women."

Xiao Xie received an answer and left dejectedly.

He didn't see the way Fang Chen looked at him. How could anyone not like someone who is kind-hearted and has you in their heart?

Fang Chen saw Xie as clean and pure, while he himself was a spy and a liar, and Xie shouldn't know about such a murky place.

Fang Chen grew up in another base and lost his family at a very young age.

Unlike Xiao Xie's base, where there were people to take care of him, Fang Chen had to learn to depend on others and be obedient from a young age. He observed people's expressions and eventually managed to climb up to a minor leader in the base, growing up safely with their help.

His suffering begins when he grows up while the other person gets older.

When he emerged from the other party's room once again, covered in wounds, he decided to leave the base.

Just then, the base issued an undercover mission, so he accepted it and came to Xiao Xie's base.

At first, he diligently carried out his undercover mission and soon learned that Xiao Xie might be a pioneer in the emergence of pollution-free plants in this base.

Then he deliberately tore Xiao Xie's combat uniform during the fight, and hurriedly repaired it for him, in order to get close to Xiao Xie.

He had thought it wouldn't be that easy, but to his surprise, Xiao Xie got close to him so easily.

Later, as their values ​​aligned and their hearts grew closer, he admitted that he had fallen for her. Even though he learned more secrets, his heart had already strayed.

Deep down, he knew he wasn't good enough for Xiao Xie. Every time he saw the trusting look in Xiao Xie's eyes, his heart would flutter uncontrollably—it was a mix of attraction and guilt.

Later, he dared not look the other person in the eye anymore and decided to let it go. He deliberately exposed himself. When Yuanyuan went to find Xiaoxie, he hid in the corner and listened. When Xiaoxie investigated him, he knew that the other person was watching him from the side.

Even at the very end, when Xiao Xie asked him if he liked her, he didn't dare admit to liking her at all.

That's fine. I like the bright moon in the sky, so I'll let it hang there. Why drag it into the mud?
