V4C5 – Pretend To Be Her Boyfriend (1/2)

“Then, is there some other matter you need my help for?” I asked.

“Um…….The matter is……..There is nothing. I don’t have any other matter……Hmm……There is……There’s nothing……Nothing……” Xu Xueyun was afraid and didn’t know how to speak.

“If there is something, you can say it clearly. I will certainly help you!” I saw she couldn’t speak so I reassured her.

“Actually…….Actually, the matter is…….Can you be my…….Boyfriend?” Xu Xueyun asked while stammering.

“Huh? Boyfriend?” After I listened to her, I was bewildered by her words. How could it be something like this?

“Ah! Not like that…….I mean, can you pretend to be…….Can you pretend to be my boyfriend!” Xu Xueyun answered in a hurry.

“So that’s how it was like!” This girl almost scared me with her words.

“If you can’t then…….Actually, there’s nothing. You can forget that……” Xu Xueyun didn’t hear my reply so she hastily said.

“Who said I can’t? Naturally, I will help you. But first, you must tell me what’s happening. Why must I pretend to be your boyfriend?” I said.

“It’s like this……When I was in high school, there was a male student who was pursuing me……He also got admitted to a University and came to City B……A few days later, all of us high school classmates who are in B City will be meeting in a School Reunion Party……” Xu Xueyun paused after speaking till here. She had already said enough for me to understand the entire matter. There wasn’t a need to speak anymore.

“So, the guy who pursued you is also going to be there?” I asked with a smile.

“Um, yeah! He said to me that both of us were now in University, so we could now fall in love. He made me promise him that I would become his girlfriend. But I don’t like him and told him I can’t, yet he won’t let the matter go and said that feelings can be cultivated over time, and I can slowly fall in love with him! If it weren’t like that, then no guy would ever pursue a girl! As I didn’t have any other means, so I told him I already have someone I love, but he won’t believe my words…….He told me to bring the person I like to the reunion and let him meet them……Now I don’t have any other means……” Xu Xueyun answered.

“So that’s how the matter was! There’s no issue in me pretending to be your boyfriend! Even if I have to be your real boyfriend, I won’t have an issue!” I said with a smile, “Just cracking a joke……”

I said this over the phone and couldn’t see Xu Xueyun’s expression. On the other side of the phone, Xu Xueyun’s heart was wildly jumping like a wild deer as her little face turned crimson with embarrassment as she asked in a meek voice, “Sister YanYan and the others……they won’t be jealous, right……”

Xu Xueyun felt her words were a bit ambiguous. She didn’t know if she was asking if the others would be jealous of me pretending to be her boyfriend or being her real boyfriend!

I didn’t think too much and said, “They will obviously not be jealous. If they could get jealous over this matter, then how would they co-exist till now!”

“Yeah, that’s right. Hehe……hehe……” Xu Xueyun said as she giggled foolishly.

“Oh, right! When is your reunion?” I suddenly remembered that I was in Songjiang, so if it was today, then I won’t be able to get there in time.

“It’s on Saturday! The day after tomorrow!” Xu Xueyun said.

“Then there won’t be an issue! I am in Songjiang right now, but I will certainly be back by then! How do I look for you at that time?” I knew Xu Xueyun didn’t have a phone and she must have borrowed someone else’s to call me.

“I will call you on Saturday. We can meet at the University. Will that be alright?” Xu Xueyun said.
