Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 700 - 253: Chen Rourou and Lin Siqi (2)
Chen Rourou and Lin Siqi are probably going to lose it.
Last night's events were enough to give him a headache.
He doesn't want to create more trouble.
Zhang Beixing fell silent.
Seeing this.
Lin Siqi and Chen Rourou reached a strange mutual understanding.
Neither of them spoke up.
They just silently watched Zhang Beixing.
Waiting for his answer.
Five seconds...
Ten seconds...
Time continues to pass.
In the blink of an eye, a minute had gone by.
Zhang Beixing still hadn't given an answer and was starting to get anxious.
The reason for this.
Ultimately, boils down to two words—feelings!
Whether it's Lin Siqi or Chen Rourou.
Zhang Beixing has feelings for both of them.
Now, he's forced to choose between the two!
Both sides are dear to him.
No matter how he chooses, it's not right.
Anyone would be anxious!
"Damn, only kids make choices, I want them all!"
"I'm coming clean, I'm a jerk, I'm not pretending anymore, Siqi, Rourou, you're both my girlfriends!"
After thinking for ages without finding a perfect answer, Zhang Beixing simply chose to come clean, outright admitting he's a jerk.
He truly couldn't choose.
Lin Siqi has been by his side the longest, with the deepest feelings.
He can't betray her after being caught in the act.
Chen Rourou, on the other hand, is his apprentice.
After spending nearly a year together, feelings have grown.
The crucial thing is, they've already been intimate.
Walking away afterward is clearly not possible.
Given the situation.
He might as well start with himself.
As long as he's shameless enough, he wouldn't feel bad, and might even enjoy it!
Hearing this.
Lin Siqi immediately rolled her eyes.
She was speechless at Zhang Beixing's opportunistic answer.
What is this?
Openly two-timing?
"Get lost, just messing around all day long."
"And you call yourself a jerk, why not claim you're a Casanova?"
Lin Siqi said indignantly, full of disdain, yet she didn't bring up the earlier topic again.
She clearly understood that continuing with that topic just now.
The final outcome would only be a lose-lose situation, with no one benefiting.
Given the situation.
She might as well offer Zhang Beixing a way out.
Of course.
This doesn't mean Lin Siqi can accept infidelity or likes being cheated on.
On the contrary, it was a reluctant measure, a last resort.
As they say, where there's smoke, there's fire.
The incident last night was largely her fault too.
Getting him drunk, instigating, pushing from behind.
Had any part been missing, it wouldn't have escalated to this situation.
Besides, her daily relationship with Chen Rourou was good.
They were good friends.
Though it's a terrible thing that her friend slept with her boyfriend.
But there's nothing she can do, the event has occurred, and she can't reverse it.
Moreover, facing Zhang Beixing.
With her current strength, she truly couldn't handle it.
Short term, there might be no issues, but long term, him cheating is bound to happen.
Rather than let Zhang Beixing mess around outside with unknown women, risking catching diseases.
It's better to find someone trustworthy, who also has some feelings for Zhang Beixing, to share the responsibility.
While fulfilling his desire, it also ensures safety.
Lin Siqi considered all this, and now agreed, giving Zhang Beixing a break.
Otherwise.
Given her personality, she would've been arguing with Zhang Beixing already.
The Bashu women don't mess around with you!
.......
Because she mentally prepared herself for this.
Lin Siqi showed unexpected magnanimity.
Looking at Chen Rourou.
Because it happened so suddenly.
Confusedly ending up with Zhang Beixing.
She really wasn't prepared at all.
This led to hearing Zhang Beixing's extremely jerk-like words,
her heart feeling extremely conflicted.
As a woman, Chen Rourou harbors feelings for Zhang Beixing, naturally hoping for his exclusive love.
But the problem is, she came later.
Lin Siqi is Zhang Beixing's legitimate partner.
Yet she did something she shouldn't have, carelessly giving away her most precious thing.
No matter moving forward or stepping back, she feels unwilling.
Chen Rourou furrowed her brows.
The expression was extremely conflicted.
Seeing her inner turmoil.
Behind her, Lin Siqi showed great awareness as the first wife.
She held Chen Rourou, stroking her head:
"Rourou, I know your heart is filled with unease and turmoil right now."
"There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself."
"You just made a mistake accidentally; just learn from it and don't let it happen again."
"And it's not entirely your fault that things turned out this way."
"If anyone's to blame, blame Old Zhang for being fickle, having a low tolerance for alcohol, and not resisting temptation."
"You're innocent."
Chen Rourou reassured softly.
Hearing this.
Zhang Beixing: "???"
"Wait, are you saying it's my problem that I got taken advantage of?"
He looked at Lin Siqi in shock, wanting to voice his thoughts.
But noticing the dangerous look Lin Siqi gave him.
He eventually swallowed his words.
Right, everything is my fault!
Endure!
Zhang Beixing kept silent, smoking quietly.
Seeing this, Lin Siqi gave him a look of 'smart choice' and then turned her attention back to Chen Rourou, continuing to comfort and counsel her.
The content was essentially the same.
Basically that 'it's not your fault,' 'don't overthink and exhaust yourself,' 'the issue lies entirely with Zhang Beixing.'
This whole rhetoric.
Not only Chen Rourou, even Zhang Beixing started to doubt if it was really his fault.
Well, according to this narrative.
He, Zhang, must be a downright villain!
Dogs passing by would tuck their tails between their legs, afraid to fall prey to him.
"I finally understand how my reputation got ruined."
Zhang Beixing rubbed his forehead helplessly, utterly speechless.
......
Half an hour later.
After Lin Siqi's persistent persuasion.
Chen Rourou finally let go and accepted the harsh reality that she wasn't unique.
And she changed her way of addressing.
She went from calling Lin Siqi 'Sister Siqi' to now just 'Sister.'
Obviously, she now genuinely accepted Lin Siqi's status and identity from the bottom of her heart.
As for Zhang Beixing.
"Xiao Zhang, I'm thirsty, quickly brew me a bowl of the best old hen soup."
Lounging lazily on the bed, Chen Rourou rested her head in Lin Siqi's arms, enjoying the comfort, while giving orders to Zhang Beixing.
Hearing this.
Zhang Beixing twitched.
A tic appeared on his forehead.
This girl is turning this into a palace drama!
Even calling herself 'This Concubine'!
"You..."
Zhang Beixing felt his hand getting restless.
Just at that moment.
Lin Siqi glanced over.
Noticing Zhang Beixing's subtly restless hand, she frowned and said with displeasure:
"Old Zhang, listen, go quickly."
"You know the situation? Rourou was still innocent last night, and you treated her like that, aren't you afraid something will happen?"
"Quickly buy her an old hen soup to nourish her, so she doesn't end up with some ailment."
Lin Siqi also said.
Hearing this.
Zhang Beixing curled his lips.
Alright, alright.
You two have become good sisters now, ganging up on him together!
"Fine, I'll go!"
Zhang Beixing said.
What else could he do?
Refuse?
Facing these two now, he was clearly in the wrong.
One green, one slept.
Darn it, he couldn't afford to offend either.
So he left.
Zhang Beixing put on his pants, dressed up, and went to the living room of the suite, took out his phone, selected the ingredients, and waited.
It wasn't long.
The delivery arrived.
Relying on the cooking skills he honed while living a secluded life on West Yin Mountain.
Zhang Beixing cleaned the old hen and the cookware thoroughly.
Then put on an apron, turned on the stove, and started cooking.
Of course, he actually didn't have to go through all this trouble.
He could just order delivery and get a bowl of old hen soup.
But, there was no need for that.
Making it himself showed more sincerity.
Zhang Beixing busied himself at the stove.
Seeing this, lying on the bed behind him, Chen Rourou first froze at his actions.
She looked at Zhang Beixing, then at Lin Siqi who was tidying up her blanket.
A faint smile appeared on her face:
"Seems... not bad."
