Chapter 185 Wei Sheng hugs the pillar and has a wooden head
"How many times, how many times, how many times!" As soon as Ning Chunyan got in front of Wang Zixu, she poked his ribs with her fist, "How many times has this happened today?"
"Just twice."
"Oh my God! Do you want to have a third time? I told you not to play with Xiao Mengyin!"
Today was the second time that Ning Chunyan caught him talking to Xiao Mengyin. He had talked to Xiao Mengyin twice today, and was caught both times. In short, this was an objective fact. He stated a fact, which did not mean that he wanted it to happen a third time. In summary, he felt that Ning Chunyan was making trouble for no reason.
But he still honestly agreed to Ning Chunyan: "Okay, okay, I won't play with her anymore."
"What did she tell you?"
"She said she hadn't even been on Get, but I was, so she thought I was very talented."
Ning Chunyan waited for him to continue, but when he didn't, he asked in disbelief, "You guys talked for so long, and this is all you talked about?"
Wang Zixu is very good at extracting the core ideas of other people's speeches, and he can always convey other people's opinions in the most concise language. But from another perspective, this makes him overwhelmingly bad at chatting with others.
What Ning Chunyan wanted to hear was Xiao Mengyin's defeated expression and embarrassed movements, her shattered self-esteem and shattered arrogance, how she used a superficial coat of coldness to wrap her superficial figure to maintain her pitiful vanity, and after the coat was roughly torn into pieces, revealing her weak and empty essence, like a daffodil... But Wang Zixu didn't talk about these, he didn't pay attention to these at all.
The only advantage of this characteristic of his is that his way of perceiving the world is different from others - he believes this is a writer's unique quality, a sign of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature - but if Xiao Mengyin knew that he summarized his expression in this way, she would probably be so angry that she would fume.
"We chatted for a long time...How did you know we chatted for a long time? Did you peek at us chatting for a long time?"
After Wang Zixu finished speaking, he saw that Ning Chunyan's expression seemed to be about to explode, so he backed off and changed the subject: "Actually, we really didn't talk about anything. That's basically what we talked about."
Ning Chunyan said earnestly, "Look, Xiao Mengyin looked down on you before, and now that you're on Get, she's trying to curry favor with you. You have to be careful of this bad woman!"
"Don't worry, I won't lose to a bad woman."
"It's broken, you're going to lose."
"Why do you have so little faith in me?"
"Because bad women won't fight with you. Bad women will disguise themselves as friendly forces and plunder you crazily when you trust her the most."
"Take me?"
"Yes, hollow you out."
"It sounds like falling in love and getting married."
"...? You rascal, what are you thinking about? Are you interested in Xiao Mengyin?"
"You misunderstood me... I mean, generally speaking, from dating to marriage, isn't that the process you mentioned?"
"That's different. In a relationship, girls also have to make sacrifices, okay?"
The three of them walked slowly along the Luoying River, chatting casually as they walked.
Although there were three people, in fact, only Ning Chunyan and Wang Zixu were talking. Chen Qingluo seemed to have returned to the state when she first met Wang Zixu. She didn't say a word to him, and didn't even look at him. Ning Chunyan was interspersed between the two of them, and he couldn't even see her profile clearly.
After walking for a while, perhaps finding an opportunity, Ning Chunyan quietly pulled Wang Zixu aside and said, "She can't do this."
Prince Xu woke up as if from a dream: "What's wrong?"
"Qingluo is still angry."
"Qingluo..."
"I was the one who called Qingluo, not you," Ning Chunyan interrupted him, a look of worry on her face, "I've never seen her depressed for so long."
But Wang Zixu had seen it before. That was in high school. Chen Qingluo hadn't spoken to him for three days because of something. After three days, as if she wanted to make up for those three days, she talked to him a lot again - although most of the words were sarcastic and hurtful.
The shelf life of Miss Luo's anger is about three days. This is Wang Zixu's understanding.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Zixu asked.
"Why don't you go and apologize to her?" Ning Chunyan said.
"Huh? Why?"
"What a fool you are! She is angry because you hid the truth from her. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Of course you should go and apologize to her to solve the problem!"
Wang Zixu secretly glanced at Chen Qingluo who was buying bananas in the distance, and whispered, "I shouldn't have such a big weight in her heart, right? Besides, didn't you tell me not to tell anyone at the time?"
Ning Chunyan blushed and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry about those details. Anyway, you have to cheer up Chen Qingluo and don't let her get depressed. Our company is in the rising period of business. You have to resonate with each other and align the granularity. You can't make the working atmosphere awkward, otherwise I won't feel comfortable at work."
Wang Zixu said: "I don't want her to be depressed, but how can I apologize?"
He imagined himself walking up to Chen Qingluo and bowing like a Japanese. "Hi, Miss Chen Qingluo, I kept the fact that my manuscript was accepted from you, and I made you worry for a long time. It's all my fault. I'm speechless."
It's awkward to think about it. It might even have the opposite effect.
Ning Chunyan hated his stupidity: "Are you stupid? Of course you can't just go and apologize to them. You're a married man, and you don't even know how to make a girl happy?"
Wang Zixu was not convinced by this. He wanted to cite many romantic examples, but found that he couldn't think of any.
"How to coax?"
"Later, I'll create an opportunity for the two of you to be alone. You can take this opportunity to talk it out with her. At least you two won't be in such a tense situation."
"Actually, the relationship between her and me isn't as awkward as you think."
"Then go talk to her. I'll leave you alone if you can talk to her normally."
Wang Zixu had no choice but to nod and agree.
He really couldn't figure out how to create an opportunity to be alone with Chen Qingluo, and he didn't know how to be alone with her. But Ning Chunyan acted surprisingly fast. Soon, she used some excuse to ask Chen Qingluo and Wang Zixu to go to the editorial department alone to review the manuscript, and she left alone.
Before leaving, she winked at the prince, suggesting that he should be more careful.
Now it was Wang Zixu's turn to be nervous: he was not mentally prepared at all to be alone with Chen Qingluo, and he had no idea what to say to her or how to start the conversation.
Obviously, the other party had no intention of speaking first. She just walked in front, stepping rhythmically in her high heels, and at a very fast speed. Wang Zixu had to stretch his legs as far as possible to keep up.
Chen Qingluo bought a bunch of bananas and held them in her hands. There was nothing else in her hands except bananas. This was very strange to Wang Zixu. Most people would buy more fruits. “It’s a pity not to buy a few different kinds of fruits after going to the fruit store.” Even Wang Zixu, who hates consumerism, could not help but fall into this mode of thinking.
But Chen Qingluo was as straightforward as she was and only bought bananas.
Wang Zixu thought about how to talk to her:
“Do you like bananas?”
"..."
And it didn't work.
Wang Zixu wanted to slap himself on the forehead. Chen Qingluo undoubtedly liked to eat bananas. He asked a nonsense question. And doesn't this mean that he didn't even know that she liked to eat bananas for so many years?
"Is it heavy? Can I help you carry it?" "..."
Chen Qingluo still didn't respond.
Wang Zixu racked his brains and came up with another excuse:
"Have you eaten it? Bananas are not good for an empty stomach."
Unexpectedly, Chen Qingluo spoke: "Dog, dog."
She didn't look here when she spoke. It took Wang Zixu a while to realize that she was talking to him.
"Shut up," she said. "I'm really tired of you now."
"Oh."
Wang Zixu was very curious about when Chen Qingluo came up with a new title for herself. After thinking about it, she realized that what she meant was that Wang Zixu was like a dog just now.
Wang Zixu was immediately furious, but now he had no chance to fight back. Moreover, he had just agreed so obediently that he had already confirmed the title, and it was difficult for him to turn things around.
……
The unbearable atmosphere continued all the way to the magazine office. After Chen Qingluo sat down, she began to eat a banana. Wang Zixu returned to his seat and began to carefully review the manuscript.
Once he got into work mode and felt a flow, he forgot all his worries. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Zixu came to his senses and found Chen Qingluo standing opposite him, pushing his arm with her hand.
"Hey, hey, Gouzi." Chen Qingluo called him.
"What's wrong?" After he said that, he noticed that Chen Qingluo's table was full of banana peels. The bunch of bananas she had just bought was actually eaten by her.
"Can you help me collect it?"
"Okay, but wait a minute, I'm reading the key part." Wang Zixu held up the manuscript in his hand and showed it to her, "I found a very good manuscript. The quality of this manuscript is really amazing! It's a pity to send it to our magazine!"
Chen Qingluo showed an expression as if she had eaten a fly, turned around and left, then turned back to silently pick up the banana peels on the table. Wang Zixu was surprised - didn't she need his help anymore?
However, it would be better if he didn't need help, so he could concentrate on reading the manuscript. He turned to the bottom page and found the author's name:
"Fox-kun. Contact information..."
……
In the evening, after Wang Zixu told Ning Chunyan about his experience, Ning Chunyan's disappointed voice rang out from the other end of the phone: "It failed."
"Ah? What failed?"
"Apologize. She deliberately left the banana peel for you to clean up, just to create an opportunity to talk to you. If you helped her clean it up, she would take the opportunity to talk to you about that matter. But when you interrupted her, she just gave up on you."
"So that's how it is?" Wang Zixu suddenly realized.
Ning Chunyan said, "This was originally a good opportunity for reconciliation, but it has become even worse. I'm afraid she will be depressed for three days even though her anger was about to subside."
"Hmm..." His temper was getting worse, the prince thought humbly.
"You are so stupid!" Ning Chunyan said suddenly.
"what……"
"But come to think of it, I can't blame you. After all, you didn't do this on purpose," Ning Chunyan said. "How about this, I'll create another opportunity for you to ease the relationship with her. At least don't keep silent and make the atmosphere so depressing."
“How else can we create opportunities?”
"Our company just happened to be purchasing a batch of new office supplies, and I said Xiao Diao and Xiao Lu were both busy, so I asked you two to go and do the shopping."
Wang Zixu couldn't help but admire Ning Chunyan's brain, which was really quick.
"But even if I go with her, it will be just like today during the day."
Ning Chunyan was silent for a while and said, "That's right."
"How about not counting that?"
"No, I'll go with you first." Ning Chunyan said, "Tomorrow is a public holiday, so you and I can go and practice it first so you know what to do."
Wang Zixu originally thought that this was unnecessary, but since Ning Chunyan was so dedicated and responsible, he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he suddenly felt that he had forgotten something that had been lingering in his mind but was difficult to grasp. After thinking about it again and again, he finally remembered: Xiao Mengyin asked him to meet in the evening.
Although we didn't agree on a specific time, it's already nine o'clock in the evening. If they were waiting there, they would probably have frozen to death by now.
He didn't have Xiao Mengyin's contact information, and he thought that Xiao Mengyin was not like Weisheng... that kind of blockhead (he thought of this word again at this time, which showed that his thinking mode was influenced by Ning Chunyan). She probably wouldn't wait for him for several hours in the night wind. If she didn't go by nine o'clock, then she wouldn't go. This is the tacit understanding of modern people. She should have left long ago.
After he took a shower and went to bed, he tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
He did not agree to go with Xiao Mengyin, nor did he agree not to go. If he did not go, it would not be considered as breaking his promise, but if Xiao Mengyin really did become Wei Sheng, he would still feel bad. It was not because he canceled the date, but because he was kind and could not bear to see his hope of keeping the promise go to waste.
Even if it's just to go for an evening walk, to see if anyone is there, it can give you some peace of mind.
So I got up, put on my clothes, drove, and set off for the Nanjing University campus.
When he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the security guard. After some argument, he finally walked in. After another 20 minutes of walking, he arrived at Renzhi Bridge, but there was no sign of Xiao Mengyin.
He shook his head and laughed at himself for being honest. He was the only person with a dull mind here. How could Xiao Mengyin be the last student? He started to walk back. Under the dim light of the street lamp, he saw a shivering figure squatting under the big locust tree.
"You've gone too far."
The figure said this as Wang Zixu approached.
Most of Xiao Mengyin's lolita clothes have crinolines, which often make the whole person look particularly large. If one is not particularly slim, then wearing them will make one look like a giant when walking around on the street.
She didn't wear a dress with a crinoline today, only a black suspender dress, lace socks and flat-heeled leather shoes. She had a cat hairpin in her hair, and she curled up into a ball, so she looked very small, especially smaller than usual.
Wang Zixu smiled bitterly: "I thought you had left."
"On November 2023, 11, someone released my pigeons for three hours under the big locust tree at the Renzhi Bridge of Nanjing University. I will remember this grudge and will avenge it sooner or later."
"Remember my name first."
She reached out her hand, grabbed the hem of his shirt, and slowly stood up and said, "Wang, Prince Xu, can you take me to eat a bowl of spicy hot pot? I don't have any money on me, and my phone is out of battery."
Wang Zixu lowered his head and saw her knees shaking. "Didn't you go home today?"
"No, I was at school all day. My car is unlocked with my phone, and my phone is dead, you know? So I'm starving now."
"Okay," Wang Zixu helped her up, "Then you want that, right? What's the year 2023? I forgot before. I treated you to spicy hot pot and saved your life. Sooner or later, I will repay you. You have to remember it, right?"
"Can't remember."
