Chapter 10: Lie 2

  Wu Yijie was as cold as frost, this world was already miserable enough, if he couldn't keep Little Wei, Zhong Xiaofei's life would have no fun at all! Thinking of Wu Yijie, Zhong Xiaofei found himself a bit dizzy, whenever he had some free time, Wu Yijie's shadow would flash in his mind, alas, this was really deadly, Wu Yijie was clearly just a star that could only be looked at but never reached, yet he couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart.

  He felt that he would eventually "die" at Wu Yijie's hands.

  Not at all, it's better in the heart.

  At this time, Xu Jiajia turned her head and saw Zhong Xiaofei, winking at Zhong Xiaofei, then smiled lightly and whispered to Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei turned her head and saw Zhong Xiaofei, "Sister-in-law!" she exclaimed excitedly, waving her hand. From her excited expression, it seemed that her mood had not been affected at all. Hmm, it looked like Xu Jiajia really hadn't told her.

  Zhong Xiaofei walked past with peace of mind.

  Unlike going to the company for an interview in the morning, Xiaowei changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts. Zhong Xiaofei's eyes secretly swept over her slender legs, and he couldn't help but praise her again in his heart. Ah! Xiaowei's two slender legs were whiter and more tender than fresh lotus root, full of healthy vitality, truly a top-notch beauty.

  "Brother-in-law, why are you just coming now? We've been waiting for you for a long time!" Xiao Wei pouted with her small mouth.

  Zhong Xiaofei first looked at Xu Jiajia with a guilty conscience, then awkwardly smiled, "There are many cars on the road..."

  "Is it that there are many cars or is he afraid of paying the bill?" Xu Jiajia smiled and said, "Lord Zhong, you can't even come up with a good excuse for your lies?"

  Although Zhong Xiaofei calls Xu Jiajia a "female man", in fact, Xu Jiajia is also a beautiful woman. She has a height of 1 meter 67 centimeters, snow-white skin, and a lovely face. Her shoulder-length hair makes her look very refreshing. Unlike Wu Yijie and Li Xiaowei, Xu Jiajia's figure belongs to the slender type. Although her breasts are not big, her front and back curves are very obvious. In her university days, she was the school flower, with many suitors, but Xu Jiajia had never had a formal boyfriend. Zhong Xiaofei teased her as a "female man" who is not interested in men, and she also frankly admitted: What's wrong with being a female man? Being independent and self-sufficient doesn't require relying on men.

  In Hai Zhou for these two years, Zhong Xiaofei and Xu Jiajia's relationship has not changed, still calling each other brothers.

  To outsiders, they seem like a well-matched pair and many people have tried to set them up, but none have succeeded.

  "There are many cars," Zhong Xiaofei said with a straight face. "Crazy woman, you didn't even give me advance notice that you were coming, I could have driven to pick you up."

  "Come on! Do you have a car?" Xu Jiajia rolled her eyes, "Besides, I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at Little Wei! Who would want to look at you?"

  Watching Zhong Xiaofei and Xu Jiajia arguing, Xiao Wei was first surprised, then pursed her lips and smiled.

  Zhong Xiaofei took out his credit card and prepared to pay the bill.

  "No need, Sister Xu has already swiped it." Little Wei said with a smile.

  "Really?" Zhong Xiaofei pretended to put the credit card away, but in fact he had expected this outcome. Xu Jiajia's greatest advantage was her generosity and openness. Every time they went out to eat together, Zhong Xiaofei rarely paid, it was usually Xu Jiajia who footed the bill. As Xu Jiajia would say, she let Zhong Xiaofei keep his money for marrying a wife.

  Xiao Wei bought two sets of lingerie, both made of sensual lace. Zhong Xiaofei couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, thinking to herself that if Xiao Wei wore this kind of lace, it would likely be fatal. Especially that one pair of panties was almost transparent, like two thin pieces of silk, and Zhong Xiaofei's heart skipped a beat just from looking at them.

  For Xiaowei's figure, Xu Jiajia couldn't help but envy, "Sister, what did you eat when you were young to grow up so big?"

  Xiao Wei whispered something in Xu Jiajia's ear, as if sharing a secret, and Xu Jiajia burst out laughing, "You're even more clever than your sister, haha..."

  Zhong Xiaofei's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly a snow-white, handsome face with a shallow smile appeared in front of her eyes. She felt dizzy, as if she had traveled back to the university campus, where she stood at the entrance of the boys' dormitory waiting for him. Her white long dress fluttered in the wind, her long hair flowing like a fairy... At that time, they were both so pure, but now he was an old rascal who was immune to all poisons.

  "Big Officer Zhong, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and go!" Xu Jiajia woke up Zhong Xiaofei.

  "Oh." Zhong Xiaofei followed the two beauties out of the mall with a silly grin, "Sigh, I wonder how Li Xiaoran is doing now? Does she have a boyfriend? Does she occasionally think of me, just like I think of her?" As he walked out of the mall, the sky gradually darkened, and the streetlights had already lit up, which was slightly dazzling. Zhong Xiaofei's spirit suddenly felt a bit dazed. Many past events between him and Li Xiaoran suddenly appeared before his eyes...

  After leaving the mall, three people went to eat. They found a seat in a restaurant near the mall, and Xiaowei and Xu Jiajia ordered food. After ordering, Xiaowei whispered something in Xu Jiajia's ear and got up to go to the restroom.

  "Madwoman," Xiao Wei left, and Zhong Xiaofei finally had a lot of questions to ask. "What time did you come today? What did you say to Xiao Wei? Does she know about me and her sister?" The three questions that had been bottled up in Zhong Xiaofei's heart for a long time were fired off like a string of pearls.

  Xu Jiajia gave him a white eye, "What are you doing? Interrogating prisoners?"

  "How dare I? I'm almost a criminal now..." Zhong Xiaofei sighed bitterly.

  Xu Jiajia hummed and glared at Zhong Xiaofei fiercely, "You still haven't told me why you're hiding the truth from Xiao Wei?"

  "Do you want me to tell the truth?"

  "Nonsense!"

  "I said it but you may not believe me..." Zhong Xiaofei's face turned sorrowful.

  "Come on, don't drag it out..." Xu Jiajia's temper was a bit impatient, and Zhong Xiaofei had sold two or three suspenseful moments, making her somewhat annoyed.

  "Alright," Zhong Xiaofei sighed, "...you know, Li Xiaoran and I were originally very close..."

  "I know, but you heartless and unscrupulous guy dumped her..." Xu Jiajia said coldly.

  "Yes, so I've been blaming myself all along, I think it's all my fault, I hurt her... Everything was supposed to be over, I wanted to forget... But Xiaowei's appearance made me realize how guilty I am! ...It turns out that Xiao Rong never told her family about our breakup, she's been maintaining this relationship..."

  Zhong Xiaofei's face was painful, his voice mournful, and his painful expression stunned Xu Jiajia, who widened her eyes to look at him.

  "I've wronged Xiao Ruan too much... I must make amends, I must compensate! I cannot let Xiao Wei know the truth, because that would hurt her sister! I will take care of Xiao Wei like my own little sister, find her a good job, and let her live in this city, only then can I alleviate the guilt in my heart... If I fail to do so, I... I... I will never be happy for the rest of my life..."

  Zhong Xiaofei lowered his head, and his voice even began to choke.

  A moment of silence.

  Xu Jiajia's emotions were infected.

  Zhong Xiaofei knew that her performance was successful. Xu Jiajia was originally a sharp-tongued and soft-hearted person.

  "You're here again? Are you deceiving me?" Xu Jiajia stared with her eyes wide open, questioning in a slightly weak tone after ten or so seconds.

  Zhong Xiaofei didn't say anything, but let his expression become even more painful.

  His words are a mix of truth and falsehood, which makes them persuasive. It's worth noting that Xu Jiajia is also not easy to deceive.

  "Alas, if you don't believe me, just tell the truth to Xiao Wei, anyway I've already hurt her sister once, hurting her again won't make a difference..." Zhong Xiaofei looked up at the sky with an extremely sorrowful expression.

  "Alright, don't say anything else..." Xu Jiajia bit her lip and glared fiercely at Zhong Xiaofei, "I'll temporarily keep your secret for you. Hmph, Zhong Xiaofei, if you dare to deceive me, I... I... Hmph, I will make you die a terrible death..."

  Zhong Xiaofei's heart was filled with wild joy, but his mouth let out a sorrowful sigh as he shook his head, "Crazy woman, why don't you believe me?"

  "I'd rather believe in ghosts than believe you!"

  "Am I even less than a ghost in your heart?" Zhong Xiaofei said with a bitter smile.

  "Yes." Xu Jiajia nodded affirmatively, "Actually you are a ghost, a lying ghost!"

  While talking to Xu Jiajia, Zhong Xiaofei kept glancing in the direction of the restaurant's restroom because he didn't want Xiao Wei to hear their conversation.

  "Alright, crazy woman, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about something more relaxing... Hmm, I heard a joke yesterday. It said that at a wedding ceremony, the bride suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach and farted. The host quickly said: 'The bride has farted, it's a great auspicious sign!'"

  The guests applauded in praise.

  "The bride let go of another one. The host smiled and said, 'The bride has released two, next year will be a big fortune.' The applause from the guests lasted for a long time."

  "The bride let out another one, the emcee's face changed greatly, saying: Everyone, quickly make way, the bride is going to pull!"

  After dealing with Xiaowei's matter, Zhong Xiaofei felt much more at ease and began to show off his eloquence, telling jokes that made Xu Jiajia laugh so hard she was doubled over.

  "What's so funny, Sister Xu? You seem so happy!" Little Wei said as she walked back in.

  "Nothing..." Xu Jiajia's face turned red with laughter as she rolled her eyes at Zhong Xiaofei.

  Xiao Wei took a glance at Zhong Xiao Fei, then another glance at Xu Jia Jia. Her lively eyes rolled around several times as she pouted and complained, "Brother-in-law, you're such good friends with Sister Xu, why didn't you ever tell me? You've made me not know who Sister Xu was at first, I even thought it was the wrong person..."

  "I haven't had a chance to tell you," Zhong Xiaofei said with a straight face, "but now I'm solemnly declaring that Crazy Woman is righteous and loyal, she's my best friend, in this world apart from my parents, she's the one who cares about me the most..."

  "Get out!" Xu Jiajia glared at him, "Who cares about you? Do I look like a kindergarten teacher?" She chuckled.

  The dishes have been served.

  The atmosphere of the three people was harmonious and joyful.

  Zhong Xiaofei frequently helped the two women with their food, his face filled with flattering smiles. Although the dishes were not high-end, both beauties ate with relish. Xiao Wei called out "Xu Jiejie" left and right, enthusiastically chatting with Xu Jiajia. Xu Jiajia also liked Xiao Wei very much, and the two chatted, leaving Zhong Xiaofei to one side. Zhong Xiaofei secretly sighed, thinking that Xiao Wei was indeed a smooth talker, getting along well with everyone. During dinner, there was red wine, and both Xu Jiajia and Xiao Wei had two cups each. Xiao Wei's cheeks turned rosy after drinking, looking charming and captivating.

  It was already after 8 o'clock in the evening when they came out of the restaurant. Zhong Xiaofei hailed a taxi and sent Xu Jiajia on her way.

  "Dead man, you'd better remember my words. If you dare to be rude to Little Wei, I'll shatter your Western-style mirror, humph...". Before getting on the bus, Xu Jiajia whispered menacingly in Zhong Xiaofei's ear and pinched her arm with her right hand.
