MTL - After Wearing the Book, I Was Played By Black Lotus-Chapter 40
?? There was a moment of silence in the air.
??Jiang Yeye's body, which had been slumped on the sofa, slowly sat upright, and the originally cheerful heart looked at Lin Xingzhu who had fallen into silence.
?? "Cousin... Are you, are you angry?"
??She looked at Lin Xingzhu cautiously.
?? Lin Xingzhu looked at the cup of warm water that hadn't touched at all, "Shouldn't I be angry?"
?? "..."
??Jiang Yeye held his breath, confusion flashed in his eyes.
?? But no matter how confused she was at this time, she knew that Lin Xingzhu was angry.
?? "Cousin, I'm sorry..." Jiang Yiye said honestly, "I just want to help you."
?? Lin Xingzhu didn't say that she might do something bad even with good intentions.
??She just looked at Jiang Yeye who bowed her head, and asked lightly: "Do you know why I didn't expose your lie just now?"
??Jiang Yeye shook his hands, and didn't dare to say anything in front of Lin Xingzhu like this.
"Yes, you just pinched me to keep me from talking." Lin Xingzhu said, "But that's not the reason why you can stop me. At that time, you told a lie with excitement on your face and tried your best to show it. If I expose you directly in person, do you think your face is still there? Do you feel that I have made you lose face and hurt your self-esteem in front of strangers?"
??Lin Xingzhu closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes were clear and complex.
??She said: "Of course I was also at fault. I failed to stop you in the first place."
??"cousin…"
??Jiang Yeye raised his head abruptly, the corners of his eyes were a little red.
?? Lin Xingzhu swallowed his throat and did not speak.
?? She was also at fault for this matter. If she stopped Jiang Yeye in a joking manner the moment she opened her mouth, she would not be allowed to continue with the joke, nor would Bai Xiying be misunderstood.
??But it is undeniable that the moment Jiang Yeye opened her mouth, she subconsciously cast her eyes on Bai Xiying with a vague look mixed with an inexplicable expectation.
?? At that moment of trance, a good opportunity was missed.
?? Thinking of this, Lin Xingzhu clenched his fingertips tightly, feeling unbearable for the despicable thoughts at that moment.
?? Things should not be like this.
??Lin Xingzhu's eyes went blank for a moment. So when people are facing the person they like, even the most confident person will feel anxious and repeat themselves? Also can't help but use childish ways to test and prove it?
?? Later, when Lin Xingzhu faced Bai Xiying's suppressed and extremely calm expression, she no longer had the confidence to deal with this ridiculous mistake perfectly without revealing her thoughts in this situation.
??In the short staggering just now, Lin Xingzhu understood for the first time that when a person is facing a person who is uncertain and likes, he will also have inferiority complex and anxiety rising from the bottom of his heart.
??Her lips turned white, and she looked at the guilty Jiang Yeye seriously: "Yeye, I know you want to help me, but helping someone shouldn't be like this."
?? "You don't understand my situation, so you take it for granted to test her with provocative methods. This is wrong."
?? "Moreover, the relationship between two people should not be stimulated and explored in this way. True love is the harmonious running-in of two people when they get along together, and the touch of two people's hearts. It is they who seek and determine spontaneously, rather than being driven by external forces or a random third party."
??Lin Xingzhu said: "I don't need this method, and neither does she. If you do this, it will undoubtedly belittle her and me."
?? With the last sentence, she couldn't tell whether she was speaking to Jiang Yeye or admonishing herself.
??Jiang Yeye took a moment to understand the meaning of Lin Xingzhu's words.
?? She sniffed, suddenly realizing how unfunny her well-intentioned joke was.
"I'm sorry, cousin, and that sister." Jiang Yeye really realized that she had done something wrong. She raised her head and said firmly with a red nose, "I'll go to her to apologize and explain the situation clearly!"
?? said she stood up and walked out.
??Lin Xingzhu grabbed her tightly, knuckles hard, "You sit here, I'll talk."
?? Jiang Yeye looked up at her uneasily.
?? Lin Xingzhu smiled, and rubbed her head, "If you know your mistakes, just correct them. I'll do the rest."
??In the Qin family, Lin Xingzhu had a good relationship with her noisy cousin, so facing Jiang Yeye at this age, she responded naturally.
What's more, today's misunderstanding, the person who should really be blamed is in the final analysis her own.
??If she hadn't indulged her desires and let her base and absurd thoughts spread, nothing would happen later.
?? Standing in front of Bai Xiying's door, Lin Xingzhu knocked on the door, and looked at the handle silently while waiting.
??The door opened, and Bai Xiying's expressionless face appeared behind the door.
??"How did you come?"
??Lin Xingzhu paused for a moment, glanced at her unwavering face, and said seriously, "I'm here to apologize."
??Bai Xiying was not in the mood to listen to her words. At this moment, when she heard this incoherent sentence, her brows did not move, and she said indifferently: "I accept, you can go."
?? She didn't even have the desire to look up at the person coming.
??Otherwise, seeing the red bite marks on Lin Xingzhu's fair and slender neck, he couldn't help tearing her neck apart, leaving all the scars he gave on her neck.
?? Lin Xingzhu raised her arms to reach the door she was about to close, and took advantage of the opportunity to block her toes. The joke offended you. I say sorry for her. "
??The strength in her hands was slightly loosened, and Bai Xiying raised her eyes: "Cousin?"
?? Lin Xingzhu stared into her eyes: "Yes, the girl named Jiang Yiye in my apartment just now is my cousin. She came here to play and lives in my house. She always likes to joke, and the things in her head are thinking about it. She didn't know our relationship, she thought it was fun to see you come into my house looking for me, so she said that."
?? Feeling that the door under his arm was no longer so firm, Lin Xingzhu was slightly relieved.
??Bai Xiying's obsidian-like eyes were fixed on Lin Xingzhu's sincere eyes. For a moment, she withdrew her gaze, glanced at the red mark, and at the same time let go of her hand against the door, turned and entered.
?? "We? What have we to do?"
??Lin Xingzhu went around the door and went in: "A couple relationship."
??Bai Xiying: "That's a fake relationship that you and I both know."
??Bai Xiying's eyes were cold, and the shirt she just returned was a little messy.
??Lin Xingzhu glanced at her, looked at her and said, "It's true to the outside world."
??Bai Xiying was speechless and did not refute her.
?? Lin Xingzhu sat on the sofa, "I don't know if you are angry or not, anyway... I'm sorry."
??She didn't bring a subject, this sentence is for the despicableness and disgust that she can't express.
?? Lin Xingzhu rubbed his fingertips with pinched marks, and lowered his eyes to wait for Bai Xiying's response.
"There's nothing to apologize for." Bai Xiying said hypocritically, "It's just a little girl's joke, you don't have to be so nervous."
?? Lin Xingzhu suddenly looked up at her.
?? "So you're not angry?"
"A little bit..." Bai Xiying said hypocritically again. In fact, she felt that she was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
?? "I'm just angry at the way she's on guard against me, which makes me a little baffled."
??Lin Xingzhu's lips moved, "That's good."
?? But she has experienced Bai Xiying's cold and perfunctory look just now, and knows that she is not telling the truth.
??It's okay, she's used to it, anyway, she just knows it.
?? The two were relatively silent for a while.
??After a while, Bai Xiying suddenly asked, "My cousin?"
?? "..."
?? Lin Xingzhu said: "My dear, my uncle's daughter."
??"oh."
?? Lin Xingzhu lowered her head. From this angle, Bai Xiying once again looked at her bite marks that were exactly the same as that of Jiang Yeye.
??She asked again: "Why didn't you go back to the apartment last night?"
?? "Pick my cousin home." Lin Xingzhu said.
??She didn't understand why Bai Xiying asked this.
?? When she looked up again, she caught Bai Xiying's gaze before she could completely withdraw it, and she was startled.
??He touched his neck with his backhand, and the wound where the ointment had been applied was still a little cool, but Lin Xingzhu, who had looked in the mirror, knew how the area looked like that kind of mark.
?? "..." She blinked her eyes, and under her light eyelashes she suddenly realized.
??So because of her and Jiang Yeye's mosquito bite marks of the same style, plus Jiang Yeye's joke, the double superimposition, did such a smart Bai Xiying misunderstand?
?? Lin Xingzhu scratched, then put down his hands again, and asked naturally: "Does it look serious? Yesterday my aunt forgot to turn on the mosquito repellent lamp, and a lot of mosquitoes came into my room. I woke up this morning and it was so itchy."
?? "..."
After a while, Bai Xiying suddenly smiled: "Although the camellia tree outside the window of your room looks beautiful from the inside, don't forget to close the window and door tightly when you sleep, or you will be careful that mosquitoes will fly in. "
??What else do you not understand?
??Bai Xiying let go of her tightly gripped heart, but she didn't feel relaxed at all. Instead, she felt more and more heavy in her heart.
??It was like a big rock hit the bottom of my heart, getting heavier and heavier, closing all the outlets for venting, and kept falling.
?? The dark abyss deep in my heart is clamoring for something.
??Bai Xiying made the wrong leg, lowered her head, noticed the messy clothes she had just torn vigorously in the darkroom, and raised her hands to tidy them up.
??During this period, Lin Xingzhu remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.
??Suddenly her clear and gentle voice resounded in the space.
?? "Bai Xiying, let's break up."
??Bai Xiying looked up at her.
??Lin Xingzhu's soft eyes kept staring at her: "I think it's time for our pretended relationship to the outside world to return to its original position."
??Bai Xiying's lips moved: "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"
?? Lin Xingzhu said: "I just think it's time to do this."
??What can't be broken can't be built. She wants to start seriously with Bai Xiying as pure friends.
?? The boulder was completely smashed into the heart, sealing all the holes, and the abyss was dark.
??Bai Xiying heard herself say yes.
