Chapter 39 (1/2)

It was Shu Xiaoman that had just shouted to everyone. She stood in front of the railing nearby.

She put her hands behind her back and held the railing to keep her balance. Faced with a crowd of faces, she felt nervous, and her legs got wobbly. Not long ago, she had received a call from Zhang An’an. Zhang An’an told her what Wang Xiang had said and warned her to keep an eye on Chen Wanxin and to stop her from doing something stupid. Chen Wanxin looked relaxed and kept drinking with the boys, as such Shu Xiaoman did not worry much about her in the beginning. She just had never expected Chen Wanxin to suddenly confess to Zhao Yuan.

Upon seeing Chen Wanxin confess to Zhao Yuan, Lin Wenxi immediately walked away from the crowd to avoid them. Without Zhang An’an being around, Shu Xiaoman felt helpless and thus shouted to everyone, trying to stop Chan Wanxin.

“Why does it have anything to do with you?” Chen Wanxin retorted, her face somber.

Shu Xiaoman could not stop trembling. She did not know whether it was because of the drink or the fear. Inspired by the desperation, she stumbled all the way to Chen Wanxin and said, “Zhao Yuan, he doesn’t deserve you! He asked you to be his girlfriend because he made a bet with Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang. If he manages to make you his girlfriend within three months, Wang Xiang’ll give him his jersey. It’s a No.23 jersey with Jordan’s personal signature. Zhao Yuan never took you seriously. How can he deserve you?”

Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuanxin felt relieved and really grateful to Shu Xiaoman. He thought, “I can never tell this to Chen Wanxin in front of so many people. It’s too hurtful, and she’s innocent. More importantly, if she tells everyone that she has asked me to ‘bend’ Lin Wenxi, Wenxi will be embarrassed. I’ve tried to tell Chen Wanxin the truth before.

“However, she just always managed to make me shut up. I really don’t know whether it’s because she is too smart or because she really likes me.”

“This is what I want,” Chen Wanxin said coldly. “Xiaoman, thank you for your advice, but this is what I want. I would feel grateful to you if you did this for me. But if you did this for someone else, I would feel really disappointed.” While saying this, she threw a quick glance at Lin Wenxi.

Shu Xiaoman was stunned. She stood still, unable to utter another word.

“I’m sorry. As Xiaoman said, I really don’t deserve you,” Zhao Yuan said bluntly. He regretted what he had done to this girl. He had never expected her to really like him before. Back in his high school, he had made similar bets with his friends and won all of them. He would tell the girl the truth and give her a treat after she promised to be his girlfriend. The girls would not care much about that or feel hurt. They would just call Zhao Yuan frivolous and fickle.

“Well, I just want to know do you want to be my boyfriend?” Chen Wanxin said loudly.

“Wanxin, I’m just a bad boy. I really don’t deserve you,” Zhao Yuan insisted.

“That’s alright. I like a bad boy,” Chen Wanxin said solemnly. Some boys nearby whistled upon hearing that.

“I am a… hooligan,” said Zhao Yuan.

“I’m here for you. You can take me anytime you want,” said Chen Wanxin.

Shu Xiaoman looked at Chen Wanxin with her mouth agape. She wondered, “What? Is she drunk? Or, is she always such a girl? Doesn’t she worry that the others will consider her a girl of loose morals upon hearing that?”

“Wow, it looks like this girl has given herself to a lot of guys before.” Someone in the crowd suddenly sneered. No one would tease her for being persistent, but what she had just said clearly made some people that she was a girl of loose morals.

Chen Wanxin glared at that person and added, “I’ve only told this to Zhao Yuan. I never told this to anyone else before. Nor will I tell this to anyone in the future.”
