516 Chapter 517 That’s Good…
Thank you readers!
I sighed. “You know better than me Isn’t your answer already very good? Then why are you still asking me?”
Chu Yuan stopped ravaging my stomach and sat up straight. “I want to hear your point of view.”
“My point of view is the same as yours.” I thought for a while, and then said, “But it’s easier said than done, no one can clearly grasp the boundary between telling the truth and white lies.” At least, I was not sure I could distinguish them clearly…
“Then is it a truth or a white lie when you told me that you and Cheng Liusu are not in a relationship?”
“It’s a white huh?” Chu Yuan’s inattentive attitude and natural casual tone almost tricked me, and when I noticed her body became stiff, I suddenly woke up. “Why would I tell a white lie?”
In order to cover up, I abruptly changed my reply. But I didn’t expect that Chu Yuan’s tender face suddenly turned red. “Because hmm…you might be worried about me…” Chu Yuan’s voice gradually faded, but at least she finished her words.
My heart beat faster in an irregular rhythm. Chu Yuan’s shy look made me aware of a dangerous feeling. I kept telling myself: Chu Nan, your mind is so dirty. Yuan Yuan is very pure, don’t use your dirty thoughts to speculate on her…
“Why do I need to worry about you if I’m in a relationship?” Strangely, my voice was also weak, with a slight tremor. Was it my nervousness? Or fear… I didn’t want to know what I was afraid of. I was obviously used to the close body contact with this bratty girl, but at this time, I felt a burning sensation emanating from her body, as if it was going to burn me
“So what you are saying is that you’re indeed going out with Cheng Liusu?!” Chu Yuan was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. She suddenly turned around and sat on top of me at a speed that I could barely see clearly.
Yes, or not… Telling the truth or white lies, where’s the boundary? Instead of making it clear, the discussion just now made me even more confused. I could only avoid Chu Yuan’s sharp eyes.
Seeing that I was neither denying nor admitting it, the little girl’s eyes were wide open and her face was pale. Her body began to tremble and she was biting her lips hard as if she was building up her anger. However, when she opened her mouth, she only spat out two words weakly”Chu Nan…”
I was terrified by her appearance. She was shaky, as if she would fall off my body at any time. I hurriedly held her shoulders. “Yuan Yuan, are you alright?”
As if she couldn’t hear me, she muttered to herself with a pair of blank eyes, “Why… …you clearly know that I but why do you still decide to Why is that a lie, not a truth? You said you wouldn’t lie to me, you said you and Cheng Liusu are just friends, buddies, and brothers…”
“I…” I had imagined countless times how Chu Yuan would react when she found out that I was in a relationship with Liusu, but the scene in front of me was still unexpected. I knew Chu Yuan’s rejection of Liusu, but I thought that by increasing the time they could spend with each other, her opinion of Liusu would gradually improve and she would get indirect hints that I was dating Liusu. As Liusu frequentedmy house recently, I thought Chu Yuan had already found out about my relationship with Liusu, but I didn’t expect that she simply believed that I would never lie to her…
I couldn’t bear to look at Chu Yuan’s painful expression. I didn’t know why I felt like I had betrayed Chu Yuan.
“I’m tired, I’m going to sleep…” Chu Yuan got off the sofa in despair.
“Yuan Yuan”
“Don’t talk to me!” Chu Yuan cut me off without looking back, and said softly, “I just need to be alone for a while. I’ll be fine after a sleep, don’t worry about it.”
How could I not be worried? I said softly, “I think, I should confess to you…”
“I told you to stop talking!” Chu Yuan turned around abruptly with anger, resentment, and sadness in her tearful eyes… I was stunned, and I was at a complete loss for what to do.
Chu Yuan never wanted me to see her weakness. She wiped her eyes with her forearm, and returned to her usual indifference. “Don’t talk to me like I’m a kid, and don’t accommodate me and tolerate me. I hate it… I’d rather you beat me and scold me every time I made you angry…”
I didn’t dare to look her in the eyes. “Why? Isn’t it a good thing that I accommodate you and tolerate you?”
“No!” Chu Yuan shouted sharply, “You don’t understand, you’ll never understand! Even if you understand, you will always pretend you don’t understand. Because you are that kind of person! I hate you!”
Without waiting for me to speak, Chu Yuan turned and rushed to her room. When she pushed open the door, she saw Dongfang wearing pajamas with a slightly embarrassed expression behind the door.
I was stunned. I didn’t know when she woke up and how much she had heard. Chu Yuan was also slightly dazed, but not surprised. She walked past Dongfang and got into the room, without saying anything. Dongfang looked at me coldly and closed the door heavily, blocking my sight completely.
Did I do anything wrong? I was sure that I didn’t It’s just that some things never have a right choice…
I didn’t know when I fell asleep, but it must have been very late because I, who was always the first to get up, was being woken up by Dong Xiaoye, who always got up the last.
She lifted up my bed sheet suddenly and said, “Lazy pig, what time do you want to sleep until?”
The humid and icy air in the early morning made my body shiver all over instinctively. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and saw Dong Xiaoye’s smug smile. This damn woman finally got up earlier than me…
At this moment, a wisp of the fragrance of rice wafted into my nostrils. This familiar smell dispelled my sleepiness instantly. I could guarantee that this was the first time I got up from the bed so quickly. I was like a vampire who bounced up from the coffin, scaring Dong Xiaoye into taking a few steps back and almost sitting on the ground.
“Elder Brother, go wash your face first, and then eat breakfast. You’re going to be late.”
“Oh… oh,” I answered in a daze, thinking to myself that I wasn’t hallucinating and that smiling girl was indeed Chu Yuan who was grinning. Was I dreaming last night? Another doubt rose in my mind but was quickly cleared up because I saw that Chu Yuan’s eyes were still a little red and swollen.
What happened? According to what I knew about Chu Yuan, she should’ve started a long cold war with me from today… The stimulation of the cold water did not make my brain clearer, but I became more confused.
I was sure that last night was not a dream, and Chu Yuan not only shouted at me loudly, but she must have also cried in her room. Otherwise, Dongfang Lianren would not be glaring at me as if the person who was hurt by me yesterday was not Chu Yuan, but her.
When I came out of the bathroom, Chu Yuan had already packed her schoolbag. She didn’t seem to see my lost expression and said with a smile, “Elder Brother, I’m going to school. Elder Sister Xiaoye, bye.”
“Aren’t you going to eat some as well?”
Chu Yuan glanced at me. When our eyes met, she quickly looked away. Although it looked like a casual glance, I could still feel the unnaturalness in her eyes. She said to Dong Xiaoye, “It’s too late. I got up late today, so I’ll buy some bread to eat at the school.”
“Don’t worry, your elder brother and I will drive you to the school.”
“No need!” There was a hint of panic in Chu Yuan’s tone. She walked out the door and said with a smile, “It’s not that late, I usually go out at this time.”
“Really?” Dong Xiaoye stuffed a hot steamed bun into her mouth and asked half-heartedly, not acting like a responsible elder sister at all. Obviously, she didn’t know that Chu Yuan had quarreled with me last night. “Then be careful on your way to the school.”
“Mhm,” Chu Yuan said before disappearing from the door.
I didn’t know why I wanted to follow, but when I realized it, I was already standing outside the door. Then I heard Dongfang’s deliberately lowered voice come from downstairs carrying dissatisfaction, resentment, worry, and sympathy in her tone. “Yuan Yuan, is this really okay?”
“Mhm…” Chu Yuan’s voice was very low, almost inaudible, but it clearly reached my ears, and pressed heavily on my heart…
