Chapter 155 - Tell Zhang Dong (2/2)

Lin Wenxi smiled and said, “You can tell a joke, as if you mean it. People in your workplace are truly frightening.”

“Do you want to hear the reason?”

Lin Wenxi shook his head.

Suddenly, Mo Qian flipped his left hand. In a blink of an eye, a rose appeared in his palm. He handed it to Lin Wenxi.

Lin Wenxi did not take it. His eyes widened in disbelief. Whenever he watched any magic shows on TV, Lin Wenxi always thought that he would be alert enough to see through the magician’s tricks, if it was done right in front of him. But he did not expect that Mo Qian could perform the trick, in such a flawless way.

“If you do it again, I will take the rose.”

Lin Wenxi kept his eyes wide open and waited for Mo Qian to do it again. He was trying to expose Mo Qian’s trick. Mo Qian reached out to press against Lin Wenxi’s back and moved toward his neck. Feeling an itch in his neck, Lin Wenxi looked down. It seemed that a brilliant red rose was about to blossom before his eyes. Lin Wenxi took it joyfully, grinning from ear to ear. He would force Mo Qian to teach him the trick.

“Do you want to hear the reason?” Mo Qian asked again, with a mischievous expression and gave Lin Wenxi a challenging look.

Lin Wenxi nodded.

“To save a little statue, you were foolish enough to jump into the water, even though you know you can’t swim. It shows that you value feelings. You are knowledgeable, but you never show off your talents. It indicates that you are a reserved and civilized person. When someone hands you a leaflet, you will not refuse him, and will take it. You won’t throw it away in front of him, even if you are not interested. It shows that you judge others, as you would like to be judged by them. You always know what is appropriate and can behave properly on any occasions. Also, you can control the scene, on those occasions. All these suggests that you have an aura of power. Finally, you associate with people like me, which shows you have good taste.” Mo Qian said all these, in one go. Lin Wenxi couldn’t believe that the perfect person Mo Qian was raving about just now, was him.

“Do you want to know the reason why I don’t like you?” Lin Wenxi smiled sweetly, with his head tilted.

“Say it.” Mo Qian was a little surprised.

“You have a glib tongue, which doesn’t live up to the honest and elegant image, I have of you, in my mind. It suggests that you are a person who has two faces. Well, I fear this kind of person most.” Lin Wenxi was still smiling.

“Some people always like to treat the truth as a lie, just like there will always be someone, who will regard the truest confession, as a joke on All Fools’ Day.” Mo Qian said.

Lin Wenxi remembered he received a note from Shu Xiaoman, which said that she liked him, on April Fool’s Day, last year. He took it as a joke. He also recalled that Shu Xiaoman begged him to be her boyfriend for just one minute, at the anniversary celebration, not too long ago. Lin Wenxi heaved a sigh.

“It seems that you remembered something that proved what I said, right?”

“No.” Lin Wenxi stubbornly denied this.

“Oh. Then, I will add one last reason. I also like your stubbornness.” Mo Qian smiled and handed the red wine to Lin Wenxi.

Lin Wenxi drained the cup with one gulp. He began to cough violently.

“I have not formally confessed to Zhao Yuan. I, indeed have confessed in private, and Zhao Yuan would probably say, “Then clean up yourself and wait for me.” After that, Lin Wenxi would take a shower. But he never got a chance to sleep with Zhao Yuan again. “What if I confess to Zhao Yuan in public? Will that person say what Zheng Kai has asked: are we performing a campus comedy?”

“Well, well. Forget it. Why would I think of this?”

“Friendship is like a person having two hearts. While love is that of two persons sharing one heart. If a couple are not of one heart, how can they say that they are in love with each other? At most, it is a kind of friendship, whereby people will greet each other sometimes, just like us.” Again, Mo Qian handed Lin Wenxi a glass of wine.

After hearing Mo Qian’s words, Lin Wenxi was stunned.

That night Lin Wenxi was very drunk, and he was somewhat muddleheaded. He only remembered that Mo Qian helped him get into the car.

Mo Qian looked at Lin Wenxi who had fallen asleep in the car, and picked up the phone. “Tell Zhang Dong that someone has hijacked Lin Wenxi.”
