I carelessly flicked my hair, showing no interest to bicker with Kang Zixian. I could not help but feel upset.
This morning I got up late. At 7.30 am, I was still sound asleep and as a result, Fei Ge kicked my ass to wake me up. I rubbed my ass, lazily glanced at the alarm clock, quickly jumped up and washed before hurriedly leaving the house......without taking my keys with me.
My house key, Fei Ge's house key and the car keys were all not with me.
I felt upset and tonight, I had to look for a place to sleep.
But where?
Aunt's home? Forget it. She was sure to give me a supercilious look and I would be offering myself on a supper plate, to be criticized which would be more poisonous than deadly tetanus. I could not stand for this type of treatment.
Li Lisa's home, no......she seems to be cohabiting with her boyfriend.
My friends were either married or they were not staying in the city. I really could not think of anywhere to stay for the next few days.
It seems that the only place I could go was a hotel but this was an unwarranted expenditure. Recently I was not that rich and it was all due to the property slave, Fei Ge.
"What's the matter?" Kang Zixian looked at me, frowned and asked.
"Ah?" I broke free from my thoughts, shook my head and said. "Nothing, nothing."
"Is there any place you can go?" He must have overheard my conversation with Fei Ge. All this could be blamed on Fei Ge who had a natural loud strong voice, like a pig howling in the slaughterhouse.
I looked at this bad-hearted handsome man and always felt that he was hypocritical, looking down on me, so I answered with a snap. "Ah, city is my territory. Even changing a place every night would not be a problem. "
I stared at him and muttered to myself. "Foreign devil.....don't look down on me....."
I turned around to go when Kang Zixian held my arm fiercely, pulled me over to face him, solemnly asked. "You don't have any place to go, do you?"
Meeting a man who could see through me with just a glance, I felt so sad. I did not know how he could do it but in short, I felt really defeated.
The more he exposed my bluff, my voice became more high-pitched. And I denied flatly. "Surnamed Kang, I had enough of you. I......I can go to numerous places......don't look down on me. I warn you, stay far away from me. I don't want to see you again!"
After I had shouted at him, I cast him a glance, sloppily swung my school bag over my shoulder and aggressively walked off.
If anyone had given me a toothpick, I think I would have displayed a better image as a chic ruffian.
In actual fact, I felt like I was stepping on clouds, my legs felt weak.
Because of the man behind me, I felt guilty, my legs felt weak, a thin layer of sweat formed on my forehead.
I gritted my teeth and thought. Recently, I, Fang Liang Liang's deceptive skill was steadily declining. Every clumsy lie that I said, it would be exposed or maybe I had met a person who was smarter than me. He had a pair of wise and farsighted eyes, could penetrate my cover, read and understand me. The most terrifying was he could see through me but I could not see through him.
Anxiously I wiped off my sweat, stiffen my back, afraid to look back because once I look back, I would meet that pair of wise black eyes.
From young to adulthood, I had been a weak student and therefore I was particularly afraid of encountering smart people or people that are not extremely smart.
This kind of people, they live with the intention to hurt us, the fools' self-esteem.
Near this gym, there was a new budget hotel that had recently opened for business. It was not located too far away. The rain had stopped and everywhere was wet. Once I had walked down from the gym, straight away I crossed the street to the opposite side. Midway I had stolen a look behind me but did not see any sign of Kang Zixian, I thought of just now after I had roared at him, I guessed he also felt upset and had left to seek out his gentle lover.
When I thought of the man, I felt terribly upset. Recently the problems that I encountered, this man could be considered my first problem. Today, he had inexplicably came to seek me out, made me take fright, and also inexplicably made me run off. This was not my usual style of handling matters. My daily life was going strong and normal but when in front of him, I had become a street mouse. Thinking of this, I felt ridiculous.
Unable to cut him off, it became messy, really messy, it was simply a mess.
Quickly, I went to the budget hotel, chose the cheapest room and while waiting to check-in, a man and a woman walked out of the elevator. Their expression was not pleasant. Before the receptionist at the counter could put on her smile, the woman had started complaining. "Miss, this is not right. Your hotel had just completed its renovation and is not ready to accept guests but you are already opened for business. You should go and check on the smell of paint in the room, nobody can stay in such a room. The ventilation is so bad, do you know this is called chronic poisoning?"
"We want to check-out." The man said.
Confronted with the guest's questions and dissatisfaction, the receptionist apologized and politely completed their check-out procedure.
I have been quietly waiting at the side, day-dreaming, lost in my thoughts until the receptionist smiled and said. "Miss, please give me your identity card......"
I suddenly hesitated.
A room filled with the smell of paint without ventilation......perhaps a bridge underpass would be more comfortable, in any case.......it would at least be a river view room.
I was about to open my mouth to refuse and unexpectedly a familiar low male voice, behind me answered first.
"No, she will not stay here."
Again.....
The strong perseverance in my heart had gradually collapsed, suddenly I had a splitting headache and holding my head in my hands, I silently sobbed.
I did not want to turn around and face Kang Zixian who was standing behind me. I had no more words to say. What was I supposed to say? Or should I continue to say....... "There are numerous places that can take me in but I have too much money to spend. To help the hotel and prevent it from going bankrupt and as a kind-hearted little Wealth Angel who wished to accumulate merit, I am here to distribute money."
A poor man who had to hit his own face until swollen to act as a fat man and had to boast he is a rich man, in front of another rich man, was indeed a tragedy. Even if the skin on my face is thick, I did not want to hit my own jaded face.
So I turned around without expression, gaze unfaltering, stepped away without any intention to say anything to this persistent man.
I did not want to give trouble to anyone but people wanted to give me trouble..... I really had no choice.
I stood in front of the hotel door, the rain had started to drizzle again giving me a sense of discomfort. I looked at the endless stream of traffic on the road and for a moment could feel the helplessness of the homeless.
Kang Zixian with his hands in his pockets and stood beside me. We stood together looking at the road in the evening light.
"A girl living alone outside is not safe."
"Well it's okay, I'm a police officer. Anyway, what has it to do with you whether I'm safe or not?"
"Nothing but.......just that seeing you have been trying to be brave, I can't stand it."
".....busybody."
"Fang Liang Liang......"
"What?"
"Showing your fangs and claws again......do you want to be a hedgehog?"
"Hey, Kang Zixian, how many times have I said that if you do not like to see me, then stay away from me. It would be good for me and you. Why don't you understand? .....Okay, okay, if you're not leaving then I'll be leaving but please can you stop following me? Do you know I feel troubled by you?"
"Are you bothered by me? ...... Looks like I'm not the only one feeling troubled. That's good and fair."
"What's fair? What's good? Do you know you make me so restless?"
"Same here."
"....."
"Fang Liang Liang, don't you realize that starting from the night that we first met, we had become trouble for each other?"
"....."
"And even more ridiculous is that I do not even want to settle this trouble. Isn't this terrible?"
"......Well, yes, it's terrible."
"So, I have a proposal. You can listen to it and maybe it will solve the problem between us."
"......speak then."
"Since these few days you do not have anywhere else to stay, you can consider staying with me. Of course, nothing will happen which you can rest assured. We can try to get along for a few days......" Kang Zixian suddenly turned around and looked at me with his black deep eyes, deep like the sea, his mouth lifted up sexily and slowly said. "Then you can work hard at stifling out those damn things that attract me to you. This will be good for you and me, so how?"
His mouth curved into a wide smile and his voice sounded enchanting. "See, isn't this proposal great?"
