V4C16 – Putting On An Act (1/2)

“Hehe, you are also quite graceful. No less than your school flower Little Xue!” I said a few words of praise.

“Oh, you are very sweet-tongued!” Another girl added.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Xu Xueyun walked in with a sour face. The voices of several people laughing and joking came to an abrupt halt. All of them were familiar with Guan Yang’s character, so they could guess what he might have said to Xu Xueyun. Due to that, they all tacitly shut their mouths to avoid any unpleasant topics.

I knew what exactly happened outside and also heard Xu Xueyun’s confession about what was inside her heart. If before I had only been pretending to be Xu Xueyun’s boyfriend on the premise of being her friend, then now, after listening to her heartfelt confession, it was my responsibility to help her solve the issue with Guan Yang.

“Where did your classmate Guan Yang go?” I didn’t ask Xu Xueyun what Guan Yang said, and instead asked her where he went.

Xu Xueyun felt that strange that I didn’t ask what she did after she went outside, and instead asked about Guan Yang’s whereabouts, so her complexion grew a bit better as she said to me, “I don’t know. He probably went to order food.” {TL Note: Xu Xueyun felt better as she thought Liu Lei trusted her even if she talked to another man when he wasn’t present. It’s something like that.}

I could see that Guan Yang was making a call as he stood in a corner outside the room. Since Xu Xueyun came back, there wasn’t a need for me to see what he was doing. He can hop and prance however he wants. So long as I protected Xu Xueyun, there wasn’t a need to worry about Xu Xueyun getting harmed. However, it appeared my worries were unfounded as the dog wasn’t desperate enough to jump over the wall yet!

“Why didn’t you ask what he and I talked about?” Xu Xueyun finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity, so she asked.

“What you two talked? Weren’t you making him wake up from his delusion and give up on you?” I said with a smile.

Xu Xueyun couldn’t help but smile as she nodded.

“Hah, it was all a guess on mine. So, what did you two talk?” I asked.

“Why do I have to say that! I obviously can’t say it!” Xu Xueyun looked into my eyes with an angry but charming look as she said in a low voice, “We are putting on an act, so we naturally need to act accordingly!”

“Oh!” An act, heh? I thought in my heart but didn’t say anything about it, “Ah, it’s just a small matter. No need for me to know if you don’t want to say!”

“But, but that Guan Yang. He said he……I am afraid he will try to harm you……” Xu Xueyun said with anxiousness.

“What he I that……What? Did he say he’s a ruthless man and threatened you to break up with me, otherwise, he will attack me?” I said with a smile.

“Um?” After Xu Xueyun heard my words, she was a bit startled as the word “ruthless man” and my expression was very similar to how Guan Yang said. She wondered how it could be such a coincidence, but didn’t think too much about it, “Yeah, that’ what he said……”

Mentioning the word “ruthless man,” I couldn’t help but smile as I remembered a TV serial. In the TV serial, there was a role that would always say he was a ruthless man, and then asked others if he wasn’t ruthless!

“What bullshit ruthless person, Wang Tianlai still got away from him!” I said later.
