Yin Shixiong froze when he heard this, then realized what was going on.
So Mr. Huo had already figured out that it was Nianzhi who said it?
This kind of thinking, tsk tsk, no wonder he and Ozawa could only be his personal secretary. — — Truly, comparing oneself to others is infuriating!
Yin Shixiong tossed his phone onto the bed and went to Gu Nianzhi's room to talk to her.
He didn't expect her to have already fallen asleep on the bed.
Her swollen cheek was facing up, and the corners of her mouth were scrunched up. Her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be in pain even in her sleep.
It had been a long day for her.
Yin Shixiong's heart ached, and he cursed He Zhichu inwardly as he covered her with a thin blanket. He turned off the lights, closed the door quietly, and went back to his room.
…
Mei Xiawen finished reading the latest Weibo post, "Black Tea's Sky," in his hotel room. He couldn't help but call Jiang Hongcha.
It was morning in the Hua Xia Empire.
Jiang Hongcha sat at the breakfast table and unlocked her phone. She smiled. "Xiawen, have you had dinner?"
It was past seven in the evening in the United States.
"I've eaten." Mei Xiawen held the phone in one hand, and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "Hongcha, I have a girlfriend."
He said the same thing, as if trying to hypnotize himself.
This was his only trump card against Jiang Hongcha's charms.
Jiang Hongcha's smile didn't waver. She held the phone for a moment, then said, "You really have a girlfriend? She admitted she's your girlfriend? "
Mei Xiawen sat up straight. "What do you mean? Don't look down on me. "
"I'm not looking down on you." Jiang Hongcha smiled. "Weinan said a few days ago that your revolution hasn't succeeded yet, and that you still need to work hard, comrade?"
Actually, Ai Weinan had told Jiang Hongcha that the girl Mei Xiawen was courting didn't actually like him …
Of course, Jiang Hongcha wouldn't tell Mei Xiawen that. Men cared about their pride.
If they lost their pride, there would be nothing left between them.
Mei Xiawen breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the remote and turned on the TV to watch a movie on HBO. He said, "Weinan is full of nonsense, don't listen to her."
"I'm not listening to her." Jiang Hongcha's tone suddenly became serious. "I just wanted to confirm if you really have a girlfriend."
"Really? So what if it's fake? "
"If it's fake, then it's fine. But if it's true, I'll have to keep my distance from you. "Jiang Hongcha's voice was as smooth as silk, but there was a hint of determination in it.
Mei Xiawen stared at the TV, completely unaware of what was going on. He muttered, "… Keep your distance? You want to keep your distance from me? "
"Yes. I can't be like Weinan. I know you like someone else, but I still insist on staying by your side as a friend. " Jiang Hongcha picked up the kettle and sprinkled water on her epiphyllum. "I've never been that kind of person."
"You know about it?" Mei Xiawen was surprised.
When they were dating in high school, Ai Weinan stayed by their side as a good friend.
"Of course I know. Do you think I'm stupid? " Jiang Hongcha chuckled as she put down the watering can. She stroked the Epiphyllum's leaves and placed a rainflower stone in the pot.
"So you don't mind?" Mei Xiawen thought of their first love in high school, and all their firsts. His heart softened.
Jiang Hongcha was obviously thinking of their first love. Her voice was even sweeter. "Of course not. Why would I mind? You don't even like her. Just let her stay by your side … "
Her witty and generous words had a double meaning, and Mei Xiawen's heart went numb. He couldn't resist it at all.
As expected, the only person who could affect his emotions the most, the one who was most in tune with him, was Jiang Hongcha.
However, when he thought of Jiang Hongcha's foreign boyfriend, Mei Xiawen felt uneasy. He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said carefully, "I'm sleepy. I'm jet-lagged. I'm going to take a shower. I'll call you tomorrow. "He hung up.
Jiang Hongcha stared at her phone. She couldn't believe that Mei Xiawen had hung up on her.
When had Mei Xiawen ever hung up on her in all their years of dating?
It looked like Gu Nianzhi really was special to Mei Xiawen.
Jiang Hongcha was terrified for the first time.
How could there be so many people who wouldn't give up until the bitter end?
They just hadn't met a better one yet.
Once they did, they would fall in love with the new.
Jiang Hongcha was scared. She was worried that Mei Xiawen would really end up with Gu Nianzhi.
Anxious, she dialed Ai Weinan's number.
She had been away all these years, and Ai Weinan had been by Mei Xiawen's side. She should know everything about him, right?
…
Gu Nianzhi woke up the next day to find that her swollen cheeks had completely gone back to normal. There were only a few red marks left, like red veins under her fair skin. They should be completely gone in a few days.
She held the bottle of improved green ointment that Yin Shixiong had given her. She wanted to give it a thumbs up.
It was so useful. Brother Xiong must have gotten it from Uncle Huo. She would ask him to stock up on it when she got home.
Yes, and Uncle Huo had promised to pick out some black T-shirts for pajamas when she got home. She couldn't forget.
Even if he already had a girlfriend by then, she would still remind him to keep his word.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and recorded these two things in her phone's notepad. The date of the reminder was set to be the day she returned to the Empire in six months. It should be the day before Christmas.
She cleaned herself up and changed into a polo and denim shorts. She said to Yin Shixiong, "Brother Xiong, I'm inviting Mei Xiawen here for dinner today. What do you think we should cook?"
Yin Shixiong realized that he really had become Gu Nianzhi's cook. He couldn't help feeling depressed. After a while, he said, "Let's eat out? We'll find a good restaurant and eat something classy. "
She could also claim the cost of eating out …
This was a great idea. Yin Shixiong couldn't help but silently praise himself for his own ingenuity.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and agreed. The most important thing was that the bruises on her face had healed a lot. She would be able to hide them with a little concealer when they went out. "Ok, Brother Xiong, help me book a place. I'll call Xiawen." She hummed as she walked away.
She seemed to be in a better mood?
Yin Shixiong looked at Gu Nianzhi's back and blinked. He looked down to look for a restaurant on his phone.
He wasn't familiar with the restaurants around here. However, he believed that expensive food might not be delicious, but it must be classy. He booked the most expensive restaurant in the area for dinner.
In the afternoon, Mei Xiawen arrived at their apartment. He spoke politely with Yin Shixiong for a while before going to Gu Nianzhi's room.
Mei Xiawen casually glanced at the decorations in Gu Nianzhi's room. He asked, "This apartment is pretty nice. Did your relatives pay for it?"
Gu Nianzhi originally wanted to say that He Zhichu paid for it. However, she remembered his bad attitude the other day. She didn't want to give him any face in front of her classmates. She only smiled and didn't deny it.
Mei Xiawen knew what was going on. He took two steps forward and held Gu Nianzhi's hand. He whispered, "Nianzhi, promise me you'll be my girlfriend, okay?"
