Chapter 89 Chaos
I smiled bitterly, and after thinking hard for a while, I still couldn't figure out why the door was locked. I could only ask, "Are you here to see me?"
Xu Shu closed the door with his backhand and said, "Of course I'm here to see you. I have a few questions for you, but I can't ask them in front of your fiancée, so I had to sneak over here under the pretext of going to the bathroom."
I sighed, "Hua Jingjing is really not my girlfriend. Didn't I explain it to you very clearly?"
Xu Shu sneered, and suddenly she looked charming. She said, "Who knows? Someone said that they would never see Hua Jingjing again, but they are still holding hands and hanging out in various entertainment venues every day. Humph! What they said should be put aside... that?"
I said anxiously, "Who is being affectionate every day? I was caught by Hua Jingjing today, and I had no choice but to be with her. I couldn't even hide from , so how could we be together every day? If you don't believe me, I can swear!"
Xu Shu rolled his eyes at me and said, "Come on, come on! What does it have to do with me whether you're with Hua Jingjing or not? You can do whatever you want. I don't have time to listen to your oaths. Turn your head around so I can see what's wrong with the back of your head? It's wrapped up like a mask."
My heart moved, and I thought Xu Shu still cares about me!
Since the little witch Xu Xin was hiding in this room, I couldn't tell the truth. So I turned my head to look at her and said, "It's actually no big deal. I was hit by a bunch of hooligans with a stick. It's not a big deal anymore."
Xu Shu reached out and gently stroked the gauze on my head, and said in a chastising tone: "You seem like a very honest person, why would you go and fight with a little hooligan? It's wrapped so terribly, does it hurt?"
I turned around and saw clearly the worry and heartache in Xu Shu's eyes. It was the first time I felt the care from Xu Shu. I was surprised and felt as if I was in a dream.
My eyes turned eager and my breathing quickened. An idea in my mind was driving me crazy, that was the desperate desire to hold her little hand, and I couldn't control it.
Xu Shu may have sensed my thoughts, her face turned red, and she quickly retracted her hand, saying seriously: "Hey! Don't think wrongly, I'm just expressing my concern as your friend, don't have any bad ideas!"
My face flushed and I couldn't raise my head in shame. At this moment, I suddenly thought of Qiu Jieqin and regretted it even more. I thought to myself: Tang Qian! You have a girlfriend, how can you be so frivolous? It's really wrong. How can you be worthy of Qiu Jieqin who loves you so much!
Xu Shu saw my embarrassed look and laughed again. "It was just a joke, don't take it seriously. Hey? Why is there so much sweat on your face? Is it too hot?"
I smiled bitterly and wiped my sweat with my hand, thinking, "How can I not sweat when you and your sister tease me like this?" But I said, "Yes, yes, the heating in this room is a little high."
Xu Shu said, "Really? I don't think so. Oh, by the way, I was so busy talking that I forgot to ask you, did my sister cheat you out of your meal money? This little witch is getting more and more outrageous. My brother told me on the phone that you have been taking care of her for the past two days. It's really a big trouble for you. I want to thank you on behalf of my family. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll ask her to come and thank you in person later!"
I smiled bitterly again and said, "Thank you? No thanks, it's just a small matter." I thought to myself, "Your sister is more than just a trouble. She's terrible! Oh my God! Don't let her appear in front of me again."
Xu Shu added: "How can that be? I must thank you. Also, how much money did my sister cheat you of? I will pay it back for you."
I said, "Forget it, it's just a meal, just consider it as treating her. Aren't we friends? Why are you being so ruthless with me?"
"That's different. It's a treat, it's a scam, it's one thing and one thing only. You're not a rich man, so that's your hard-earned money. Tell me, how much did you spend?"
Seeing that Xu Shu was determined to pay it back, I had no choice but to say, "It's not much, only eighteen thousand."
"Eighteen hundred?" Xu Shu screamed in surprise, "How dare this little witch trick you into spending eighteen hundred yuan? She's really...really rebellious. I have to teach her a lesson. This is outrageous!"
Xu Shu looked apologetic and said, "I thought it only cost two or three hundred yuan, so I forgave her easily. If you didn't have that much money, wouldn't you have been hurt by my sister? I'm so sorry!"
I said, "It doesn't matter. I've already spent the money. Just consider it a lesson. I won't trust others so easily next time."
Xu Shu felt guilty and angry, and said, "Then wait for me for a moment. I'll go get the money. I must return it to you."
I thought to myself that I was not rich to begin with, and although this amount of money was small, it was half of my savings. Since you must pay it back, why should I be polite? So I nodded and said, "Okay!"
Xu Shu turned around and was about to open the door to go out, but suddenly she remembered something and turned back and smiled, "I have another question. This afternoon, my sister and I came back and she fell asleep immediately. I was tired so I lay down beside her to rest. My sister has a problem. She talks in her sleep. I heard her keep asking Brother Tang Qian to hit her gently. I don't dare to do that anymore! Can you explain why?"
I was sweating again and was speechless. Xu Shu came close to me and said, "Also, there are two bruises on my sister's legs. It seems that she was whipped by something like a whip. I wonder if Brother Tang Qian knows how she got them there?"
I was sweating profusely again, thinking to myself, "Oh no! Xu Shu must have thought I was a pervert who abused her sister. Even though I was forced to fight back in self-defense, I did hit her with the belt. I wonder if she will forgive me after I explain this to her?"
Xu Shu's expression began to become vicious. She sneered and said, "Why don't you say anything, Brother Tang Qian?" Her face got closer and closer, and I had to lean back desperately. Just as I was about to confess everything in desperation, Hua Jingjing's voice came from outside: "Tang Qian! Are you in there?"
Xu Shu was shocked and quickly retracted his body. He pointed his finger at my nose and whispered, "When Hua Jingjing leaves later, you should send her back and come back to me. If you don't explain it clearly today, I will never forgive you! I...I have to hide for a while. Don't tell her that I'm here!"
As she spoke, she looked around in panic. Perhaps the huge floor-length curtains were the best hiding place. After a slight hesitation, Xu Shu immediately ran towards the little witch's hiding place.
I just reacted and was about to stop her when Hua Jingjing called me again: "Tang Qian! Say something! Which room are you in?"
I saw Xu Shu was about to sneak in after lifting the curtain, so I had to close my eyes and wait for the scream. Sure enough, I heard Xu Shu say "Eh" and shouted softly, "What are you doing hiding here?" Then I heard a "hush" and there was a movement behind the curtain, and then it was still.
Hua Jingjing had already started yelling outside: "Tang Qian!"
I hurriedly said, "It's here!"
Two seconds later, the door opened and Hua Jingjing walked in with an angry face. She said angrily: "What happened today? Xiaoshu said he was going to the bathroom and never came back. Are you drunk smoking here? I called you, but you couldn't hear me?"
I went up to him and said, "I just finished smoking. Let's go back and wait for your classmates to come back."
Hua Jingjing said, "Wait a minute, I have something to ask you, please sit here for a while." As she said that, she sat down on the sofa.
I was anxious and sweating even more. I kept saying to myself, "This is a mess. It's all a mess. Why are all these people gathered in one room and they don't want to leave. What should I do?"
In desperation, I had to say, "What do you want to ask me? Why do you have to ask it here?"
Hua Jingjing patted the seat next to her and said, "Come, I want you to sit next to me."
It's already this late, and you're still thinking about getting intimate! I just wanted to finish asking her so I could go out with her, to avoid making a bigger fool of myself. I immediately sat down next to her and said, "Okay, go ahead and ask!"
Hua Jingjing didn't ask any questions, she just kept staring at me. I was already feeling guilty, and now I felt even more uncomfortable with her staring at me, so I had to force a smile and said, "What's wrong? Why are you always staring at me?"
Hua Jingjing asked: "Why is there so much sweat on your face? What did you do in this room just now?"
I laughed bitterly, and quickly reached out to wipe the sweat off my face, saying, "It's hot! It's really hot in this room! Can't you feel it?"
Hua Jingjing asked curiously, "Is it hot? Why don't I feel anything at all? Humph! I think you are just feeling hot in your heart?"
I said guiltily, "Heart-warming? What...what do you mean?"
Hua Jingjing said, "Humph! You know it in your heart! I'm warning you! That famous star has already been taken, don't have any dirty thoughts about her!"
I widened my eyes and said, "What! Who is imagining something? Who is having some dirty thoughts? Can you please stop talking nonsense?"
Hua Jingjing snorted again and said, "Don't think I can't see it. Don't you think about your own status? He is an international superstar. How can he be interested in you? Are all men like this? You like to pursue unrealistic things. Can't I impress you? I like you so much, why don't you like me?"
I angrily said, "Hua Jingjing, please have a basis for your words, okay? Don't you know who I am, Tang Qian? What right do you have to say that I'm pursuing your famous classmate?"
Hua Jingjing said, "Of course you don't have the courage to pursue me now, but do you think I'm blind? Can't you see that your eyes light up and you look intoxicated when you see Xiao Shu? And you walk behind us, staring at other people's butts, looking like a pervert. You didn't even notice me looking back. Do you dare to say that you don't have any thoughts in your mind? You're just one step away from biting her, right?"
I do!
I... I have nothing to say. I really saw it at that time, and I was a little aroused. How come... Hua Jingjing saw it all?
My face turned red and I subconsciously looked at where Xu Shu was hiding.
The floor-length curtains shook at this moment.
