Now that they could finally sit down and talk in peace, Shi Lei was still scared to sit too close to Wei Xingyue, afraid that the crazy woman would do something to him right then and there.
Without using the Martial Arts Card, Shi Lei wasn’t sure that he could win against her since she actually learned it.
It was shameful that a man was threatened by a woman about having sex. Shi Lei felt like he was a failure.
They sat next to the table. “So what do you want to talk to me about?” Shi Lei asked.
Wei Xingyue replied in an unkind tone, “I want to drink. Don’t tell me that you don’t have any. I saw it when Yao Er gave you a box of wine the other day.”
Shi Lei could only open a bottle of wine, pour it into the dispenser, and pass it to Wei Xingyue.
“Aren’t you going to drink?”
“I don’t think it’s suitable for both of us to drink with this atmosphere,” he replied bluntly.
Wei Xingyue fumed. “Shi Lei, do you think I would be so shameless as to want to have sex with you? Rest assured, I’m not as thirsty as that water deliverer.”
Shi Lei could only pour himself a glass of wine and hold it carefully in his hands, thinking that he would try to avoid drinking as much as possible.
Contrarily, Wei Xingyue chugged hers down. Luckily, she didn’t force to as well. “Tell me,” she said, “what is going on between you and Song Miaomiao?”
Shi Lei scratched his head. “Sister—oh, no, Aunt Wei—first, there is actually nothing going on between us. Second, even if there is, it isn’t my duty to report it to you. Can’t we communicate in a more normal way? Do you have to force me to use violence to make you stop?”
“Are you threatening me? Alright, I’m going to sit here today and see what you can do to me.”
“Can we stop the banter? What do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to do it(1)!” Wei Xingyue obviously twisted the meaning of his words, which made him speechless.
She calmed down slightly after another glass of wine. “Do you dare say that you have never kissed Song Miaomiao on the lips?”
Shi Lei was sipping his wine and immediately choked and coughed for a while.
“She forced me…”
Wei Xingyue was blank for a second. Song Miaomiao had only told her smugly that she and Shi Lei had physical contact and Shi Lei even touched her chest, but she didn’t recount the details of the situation.
“Sounds like gossip. Tell me in detail.”
Seeing Wei Xingyue look eager, Shi Lei wanted to end the topic as soon as possible. He briefly recounted what happened at the hotel that day.
After Shi Lei finished talked, Wei Xingyue’s face was filled with loneliness as she forced a smile. “This guy. Although you are annoying sometimes, your thoughts cannot be compared to others. Indeed, people think I’m rich and noble, but we are in fact just a group of lonely people.” Wei Xingyue sounded depressed.
However, she quickly cast her sorrow away. “This is probably why the water deliverer and I like you so much. Never mind. I don’t know how to express it, but I just want to stay with you. It’s acceptable even if there won’t be a result. If you want, you can have me anytime, but it’s impossible to make me take as much initiative as the water deliverer.”
Shi Lei quickly waved his hands like a fan. “I really don’t have that kind of thought. I will, at most, occasionally find it difficult to resist when I see you dress loosely, but I have self-control!”
Wei Xingyue laughed. “Song Miaomiao is indeed fierce. Even if she has faked many things before, she really is a tomboy. No wonder everyone calls her ‘Shui Ye.’ I didn’t think that you were almost forced into it even though it was only your second meeting.”
“Can we please not talk about this?” Shi Lei felt extremely ashamed.
“Did you really not have any reaction?”
Shi Lei stuttered and didn’t want to answer, but Wei Xingyue’s glare forced him to.
Shi Lei didn’t have a choice. He sighed and finished the wine in his glass. “If I say I didn’t, then it would definitely be a lie. But it doesn’t matter. I have self control, okay? Yes, when she forced a kiss, I was charmed for a little while, but I quickly came to my senses. To be honest, we…” Shi Lei pointed at Wei Xingyue and himself, “the two of us, me and the water deliverer, it’s not a problem for us to be friends. Your families are rich and renowned, and I have someone who’s willing to support me. I have a godmother, don’t I? But in reality, we are not the same. You’ve learned a lot of common sense growing up, but I have to learn everything from the basics. It doesn’t matter how hard I try. It’s hard for me to reach your level. So not to mention whether I have a girlfriend or not, the two of us being a thing is impossible. And you are very different from the water deliverer. When she doesn’t care about something, she can throw it away. What about you? You can’t. No matter how reckless you are, you are still a racehorse raised in captivity. Song Miaomiao is not a wild horse either. I’ll use a line from a song: ‘I don’t have plains in my home,’ so cut it out, alright?”
Wei Xingyue rolled her eyes. “That’s none of your business! I like you and that’s it. If you don’t mind me being older than you, then there are no problems. Just because I like you, it doesn’t mean that I have to be together with you. Can’t we just enjoy the time we’ve spent together? If one day you must walk your own path and I must follow mine, then we can just go back to being normal friends.”
Shi Lei didn’t speak. He knew clearly that there was no chance for a couple who slept in one bed to be friends after breaking up. Perhaps Westerners could, but definitely not the Chinese. No matter how dissolute a person could be, they were still shameful and conservative inside.
“But the water deliverer mentioned that she has a promise with you. When her hair reaches waist-length, you have to…Uh, you have to…I can’t really repeat her original words, but she said you will do that with her when her hair is that long. That’s the promise.”
Shi Lei felt helpless as well. It didn’t matter how much he didn’t want to admit it. That was the promise between him and Song Miaomiao. It was also a promise authenticated by the Black Card. He had to complete it or he would lose his life.
But looking at Wei Xingyue, Shi Lei felt like it was better to keep it from her.
“What else could I say under that situation? She asked whether I would feel attracted to her if she looked like a woman. Isn’t that obvious? She’s pretty, so how can I not be? I’m sensible. However, she only heard the first part of the sentence and ignored the second part. She made it a promise herself. What can I do?”
Wei Xingyue blinked. She suddenly said gently, “Then do you think I’m prettier or she’s prettier?”
“How is there a way to compare that? Why are you women so boring? If you want me to decide, then my girlfriend is the prettiest and the rest of you are just eye candy.”
“But there must be a prettier one. Tell me. I won’t be angry no matter who you think is prettier.”
“There’s really no way to compare. You each have your advantages because you aren’t of the same type. Oh, you two are slightly similar in personality. Both are crazy. As for looks, you two are really about the same. You are flirty but delicate and pretty. She is enchanting but bright and valiant. I can only say that both of you are pretty.”
Wei Xingyue tilted her head to one side and showed a rare childish side. “Flirty, but delicate and pretty,” she muttered. “Your word choice is strange. Shouldn’t these words be used in opposition? I suppose it’s also correct. The water deliverer, mhm. Enchanting, but bright and valiant. That’s also good.”
