Rebirth from the Ashes

Pei Xu ignored the angry and irritated looks he got from the Su family. He rested his long legs on the table in front of him, then took out his phone to send a message to Shen Xi. “I’m on the plane. What about you?”

Shen Xi: I’m also on the plane.

Pei Xu: Why didn’t I see you?

Shen Xi: I’m in business class.

Pei Xu: Big shot designer and dancer, you should’ve told me you couldn’t afford to buy first class. I would’ve paid for you.

Shen Xi: …

Pei Xu: Well, you don’t have to feel sorry. The Su family’s here too. I’m going over to see you now.

He got up immediately, picked up his duffel bag, and threw it over his shoulder dashingly. Through the corner of his eyes, he could not help but look at the man sitting next to him again. He once again thought, F*ck, how is he so handsome?

Su Ruowan watched as Pei Xu left with his bag. The hatred surging in her heart made her breathing a little unstable.

‘Pei Xu, this son of a b*tch! He’s too much! Wait till I get even with him.’

Pei Xu went straight to the business class and found Shen Xi, then spoke to the person next to her and changed seats with him.

The middle-aged man next to Shen Xi thought that Pei Xu was joking, but after seeing his ticket, he was elated. Getting upgraded from business class to first class was such a good deal! After confirming with Pei Xu, the man took his new ticket and left.

“You should’ve seen Su Ruowan’s face just now. She looked like she just ate sh*t!” Pei Xu sat next to Shen Xi and paused before he continued, “I have a feeling that she has her eyes on that pretty boy sitting next to me.”

‘Su Ruowan’s such a b*tch. She thinks that she’s so alluring to men, but those who get tricked by her are just dumb*sses.’

Shen Xi smiled and did not comment on it.

Pei Xu looked at her and said, “The pretty boy sitting next to me was really beautiful. He also had such a noble aura. You best not see him because I’m afraid you might develop an inferiority complex.”

Shen Xi said, “Is he really that good-looking?”

She had just finished her question when she saw Pei Xu looking up with his eyes fixated in that direction.

The one walking towards them was none other than Fu Qingxuan.

Shen Xi nudged Pei Xu and teased him, “Is he the one you said is better looking than me?”

When Pei Xu heard her words, he finally snapped back to his senses and nodded his head.

‘F*ck!’

‘I was actually charmed by a guy! What the hell?!’

When Fu Qingxuan saw Shen Xi sitting with Pei Xu and whispering to him, he got upset and walked to her. “You know each other?”

Shen Xi replied, “Didn’t you go home? Why are you here?”

Fu Qingxuan retorted, “I can go wherever I want.”

She nodded, “Yes, Young Master. Whatever you say.”

Pei Xu looked at Fu Qingxuan, then at Shen Xi. F*ck, they know each other!

Fu Qingxuan also did the same thing as Pei Xu and changed seats with someone.

This way, Shen Xi was sitting in the middle, with Fu Qingxuan’s new seat by the window and Pei Xu the aisle seat.

Fu Qingxuan looked at Shen Xi and pointed to his seat, “Go sit by the window.”

Somehow, when he saw Shen Xi sitting with other men, Fu Qingxuan felt uncomfortable.

Shen Xi frowned.

Pei Xu was upset and threw a sidelong glance at Fu Qingxuan. “Why are you asking her to sit by the window? Who do you think you are, pretty boy?”

The words “pretty boy” annoyed Fu Qingxuan. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and pointed at Pei Xu, “I dare you to say it again!”

Pei Xu hooked his lips and smiled wickedly, “Pretty boy! You’re even prettier than a girl, so who else would be the pretty boy if not you?”

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Fu Qingxuan exploded and lunged at Pei Xu with his fist. “F*ck you!”

Since he was young, Fu Qingxuan hated it most when others called him pretty.

Shen Xi saw that these two were about to get into a fight and sighed while rubbing her temple. The moment she got up, she grabbed Fu Qingxuan’s arm, “Stop it.”

Fu Qingxuan became even more furious with fire in his eyes, then let out a deep roar. “You’re protecting him? Who is he?”

Shen Xi explained, “He’s my friend and he means no harm.”

Pei Xu had always been wild, arrogant, and domineering when he talked and did anything. He did not care about anyone and only did as he pleased.

Fu Qingxuan’s temper was not any better than Pei Xu, but due to his identity, he always self-restrained in front of outsiders. He did not expect to be so easily pissed off by Pei Xu. It looked like Fu Qingxuan really hated being called pretty.

The good impression Fu Qingxuan had about Pei Xu earlier vanished in an instance. All that remained was hostility towards him. He just gave Pei Xu a warning glare and sat back in his seat.

‘This son of a b*tch is certainly hitting on meanie.’

Pei Xu gave him another provocative glance before he asked Shen Xi, “Who is he?”

Shen Xi replied, “A friend.”

Fu Qingxuan was upset and said, “I’m her brother!”

“Oh…brother, huh?” Pei Xu trailed his voice and sounded like he did not believe nor care about Fu Qingxuan.

Fu Qingxuan looked at Pei Xu’s smug face and clenched his fist. If Shen Xi did not stop him, he would have killed Pei Xu.

Shen Xi gave Pei Xu a warning look so that he would talk properly and not show his annoying arrogant attitude. Well, Fu Qingxuan was not alone because even Shen Xi felt like beating Pei Xu up when she saw his smug face.

Su Ruowan saw that after Pei Xu left, a middle-aged fat man took his place. She was secretly glad that her opportunity came, but Fu Qingxuan also left. Soon after, his seat was also replaced by someone else.

She felt that something was wrong and asked the people who switched seats with the boys, only to find out that the boys gave up their seats to sit next to a girl.

Su Ruowan was certain that the person Pei Xu and Fu Qingxuan went to look for was Shen Xi.

Su Yi was also sure about it, and a clear excitement flashed across his eyes. “Honey, I think it’s Xixi! You guys wait here, I’ll go find her.”

Li Jingran did not know why her husband was so happy. He did not seem to care how Shen Xi had been treating him. He was not mad, nor did he hate Shen Xi. However, Li Jingran said calmly, “Okay.”

Su Ruowan also got up. “Dad, I’ll go with you. Let’s talk to Lil’ Sis properly. I’m sure she’ll agree to come home.”

Su Yi nodded and was pleased that Su Ruowan wanted to help him.

Shen Xi did not expect to encounter such a bad situation even on the plane. When she saw Su Yi and Su Ruowan walking over to her one after the other, she just felt like throwing the boys sitting next to her out of the plane.

If these two had not come over and made such a fuss, the Su family would not have known that she was on the same flight.

“Xixi, it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow, so come home with Father. Let’s celebrate New Year together properly, just like last year. We’ll have a good time,” Su Yi smiled. He was sincere as he tried to move Shen Xi by bringing up some good memories. “Do you still remember that last year on New Year’s Eve, you, Wanwan, and your brothers set off fireworks together? You were all so happy!”
