117 Teachings Of Confucius (1/2)
After Hui Yin got back to her hotel, she immediately fell into a deep slumber.
She had planned to accompany Liu Jun at the airport, but it was already past seven in the morning when she woke up. Her phone was ringing on her bedside table, and Hui Yin sleepily pressed it against her ear.
”Hello?”
”Wifey!” Jiang Xu's voice was full of worry. ”You OK?”
Since he didn't bother to explain, Hui Yin thought that he was referring to her raspy voice.
”Ahhh, I'm fine. I'm not sick. I just got drunk last night...”
Jiang Xu actually wanted to ask her if she was still feeling hurt from her fiancé's betrayal, but her words took away everything that was on his mind.
”Wifey! You got...drunk?”
He was aghast. She was in Shanghai, a different city where she didn't know anyone. What if someone wanted to take advantage of her? He couldn't protect her there!
”Mmm.” Hui Yin was already sinking back to dreamland. ”Don't worry, I had someone with me.”
”Someone? Who?”
”Liu...” Hui Yin yawned, grabbing a pillow close to her and covering her head. ”Liu Jun.”
”Liu Jun?”
On the other end of the line, Jiang Xu frowned. Why did that name sound so familiar? He knew he heard it somewhere before...
”Ah, I'm going back to sleep. I'll call you later.”
Hui Yin hung up. Her head was aching, and she felt like there was someone using her head as a drum. The filming wasn't going to start until tomorrow, so she could sleep the whole day.
Ah, what bliss...
The phone rang again.
This time, Hui Yin's patience broke. Doesn't Jiang Xu know the proverb 'silence is the true friend that never betrays'? Right now, I need that friend okay!
Before he could even speak a word, Hui Yin barked at the phone, ”Jiang Xu, remember the teachings of Confucius!”
”...”
Hui Yin harrumphed. Finally, that useless bum shut up. She could finally go back to sleep.
But the next words that came out of the phone chilled her to the bone.
”Then, Xiao Yin, shall I teach you a teaching of Confucius? 'Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles'. We've only just broken up, and yet you've already found yourself two men.”
