Volume 1 Chapter 24: A Date for Three People

  "Yue Linfeng, where have you been?" Su Xia grabbed Yue Linfeng from the crowded throng of students coming to class in the morning.

  "Haha, old lady, I'm back from the dead." Yue Linfeng became even more unscrupulous.

  "Get out of here, you're not serious." Su Xia scolded him without giving him any face.

  "Egg white, where have you gone? We're all worried about you." Meng Xi asked gently.

  "Really? Second wife, indeed a concubine is better than a wife!" Yue Linfeng glanced at Su Xia.

  "Stop messing around and tell me what's going on already." Fang Li was getting a bit anxious.

  "Wow, it's been a few days since we last met. I heard that all three of my wives have found new husbands. Did they really think I wouldn't come back? They're in such a hurry to remarry."

  Su Xia had one foot tucked under her knee, "Cut the crap, where are we going to cause some trouble?"

  "How dare I, I just went abroad to relax."

  "It can't be that you're so distracted that you won't even make a phone call!"

  "My phone... is lost."

  "Are you kidding me? Stop making things up."

  "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm back now, aren't I? I've really missed you guys during this time." Yue Linfeng suddenly switched to a very solemn tone. "Although we haven't been in touch for so long, you and Xiaowendou are truly the people I miss the most. I don't know how I would go on living if I lost you guys."

  "How hypocritical you've become, stinking egg! You're acting as if you're about to be executed and are giving your final speech."

  "Heh heh, who knows when I'll be knocked flying by a motorcycle-riding punk one of these days? Or maybe someday I'll contract some incurable disease. There are so many sentimental words that can't be spoken in time... how can I rest in peace?"

  "You'd better tell Meng Xi then, we won't be able to get your inheritance."

  "What did you just say?" Meng Xi clenched his fist, pretending to hit Su Xia.

  Egg whites said disappointedly, "How can you think of my legacy in the sad situation I've created for you? Are you my friend or just a mistress I'm supporting?"

  "Beat you to death, and still talk nonsense." Su Xia directly jumped onto Dan Qing's body and beat him up. Dan Qing quickly begged for mercy repeatedly.

  Fang Li helped Su Xia down from Dan Qing's back. "Su Xia, let's go first, we have class. Meng Xi still has something to say to Dan Qing."

  "Next week is my birthday." Meng Xi cautiously looked around until Fang Li and Su Xia were far away before speaking up.

  "Oh, really? What birthday gift do you want?" Yue Linfeng was clearly counting down the days in his heart, but pretended to have forgotten.

  "I won't tell you, I want to know what gift you'd like to give me, I'm waiting." Meng Xi spoke softly, but her face was mischievous. This side of her made Yue Linfeng unable to resist liking her, yet unfortunately, there was a distant separation between them due to life and death.

  Over the weekend, Yue Linfeng was dragged away to accompany Mengxi and Su Xia shopping. Fang Li and Mo Xiao had planned to go to the botanical garden together, but just as they were about to leave, Du Ruo called and asked Fang Li to accompany her to the botanical garden, saying she was a lonely person and needed company. Fang Li also wanted to go to the botanical garden, and at this moment, it was neither possible to agree nor decline, so he could only be taken advantage of again.

  Arriving at the botanical garden, Mo Xiao was already waiting there. Seeing Du Ruo, her heart couldn't help but feel a pang of discomfort again. Fang Li had been wanting to find an opportunity to explain things, but Du Ruo had been tightly gripping Fang Li's hand and wouldn't let go for even a step. At this moment, Fang Li's only wish was for the Du Ruo in front of her to disappear, or at least go to the restroom, Your Majesty!

  Du Ruo was carefree and happy all the way, constantly joking with Mo Xiao, as if Fang Li was an awkward third wheel stuck in between. "Wow, that's a fortune tree, let's go take a look!" Du Ruo said excitedly, pulling Mo Xiao's hand to run over. This time, Mo Xiao didn't compromise, he shook off Du Ruo's hand and stormed off alone. Du Ruo pretended to be very wronged, standing in place, "Fang Li sister, what's wrong with Mo Xiao? Did I do something wrong?"

  After that, Du Ruo was like a bullied chick all day, not saying a word and looking very hurt. Fang Li couldn't bear to blame him either.

  "You're not saying that last time was Du Ruo's plan, I think you two have a good relationship, but I suspect if it's you two who planned against me." Mo Xiao smiled wryly waiting for Fang Li's answer.

  "No, it's Du Ru..."

  "What's wrong, are you scheming against me again?" Mo Xiao never waited for Fang Li to finish explaining. Many emotional breakdowns might be due to the lack of an explanation or the patience to wait for the other person to say a word.

  "No, it's just that Du Ruo really likes you." Fang Li swallowed back the words she was about to say and inexplicably blurted out this sentence.

  "I can forgive you for not liking me and wait for you, but you really disappointed me."

  Fang Li, without saying a word, just watched Mo Xiao walk away.

  Su Xia and Meng Xi heard that it was another commotion, "This dead girl is really able to stir up trouble, I really underestimated her at first." Su Xia said with deep meaning.

  "Meng Xi, you must hold on to Egg White tightly. Although he's always not serious, he's absolutely a good person. I believe he loves you." Su Xia turned her head back to Meng Xi.

  "I didn't know how I felt about egg whites until he left for so long, and now that I don't see him, my heart gives me the answer." Meng Xi said with a bright and innocent face, just like when she first vowed to win An Junli over.

  "Love always makes people anxious, Mo Xiao said that if he can't find me, he will be anxious too, and although I have some resentment towards An Junli, it's been a long time since I heard from him, and I'll also feel uneasy, even if it means hearing again that he's flirting with someone else, I'll just accept it."

  "Fang Li, your beloved is really spineless."

  "Su Xia, you still don't understand."

  "How come I don't understand? That little four-eyes always follows me around saying he likes me."

  "But you don't love him, so you don't understand. Actually, that Wei Mingyuan is quite good too, at least he's devoted to you."

  Listening to the dialogue of these two people who have fallen in love, it's like attending a gathering of resentful wives. Su Xia has no interest in it at all. She can't understand how she, being so wise, ended up befriending these two lowly creatures who can't live without love when she first made friends with them. At this moment, she is truly disappointed and worried about Fang Li and Meng Xi's feelings.

  "Both of you stop sulking and wake up! The top priority now is to deal with Du Ruo's matter, I won't let her off easily."

  Su Xia spoke and acted swiftly, during Marx's class, the old professor on the podium was speaking passionately like a lecture, Meng Xi and Fang Li were still indulging in the new TV drama. Su Xia targeted Du Ruo who was attending physical education class, took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom, pulled out Du Ruo from the back row with one hand, and slapped two slaps, "If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you think I'm just running a dyeing workshop? Selling cloth but not killing people? This is my last warning to you, stop thinking about stealing other people's boyfriends, there are still many little handsome guys in kindergarten, why don't you go and register first, then wait patiently for them to grow up, it's more reliable, don't get caught by me again."

  Du Ruo's face was filled with anger, but she didn't make a sound or fight back. How could someone as simple-minded as Su Xia possibly compare to Du Ruo's cunning? Du Ruo was a person who knew how to yield and adapt, so what did it matter if she suffered a bit of humiliation? She would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, and enduring hardships was just a normal part of life for her. Someone as resolute as Du Ruo would never give up on what she wanted, no matter who or what tried to get in her way.
