1570 Provoked Into Flaring Up
Chi Shuyan could tell that Brother Feng wanted to hear gossip, and the corners of her mouth twitched. If it were any other time, she naturally wouldn’t reveal her private affairs to Brother Feng so easily. Although she had a very good relationship with Brother Feng, she wasn’t so relaxed and improper as to reveal her private affairs with her ex-boyfriend to another man.
But she recalled the strange mood Qi Zhenbai had been in tonight. In the end, Brother Feng was his childhood friend. Not only would he know about the Qi family, he could be considered the person who knew Qi Zhenbai best. Only then did she continue, “Before this, we got along peacefully enough. After we left the hospital…”
Chi Shuyan calmly told Brother Feng that when she had refused to take a walk with Qi Zhenbai in the middle of the night, and insisted on taking a taxi home, his mood suddenly changed.
Feng Yuanlin listened to Shuyan with relish, and even wanted to get a bottle of beer out of the fridge as he listened. When he heard Shuyan’s words, he almost couldn’t help but slap his leg and stifle a laugh. Who would have thought that Zhenbai, that rascal, would have his day?
At the thought of how Zhenbai had suffered a setback in front of Shuyan, Feng Yuanlin was excited and gloated at the same time. He wished he had been there to see it.
Seeing Shuyan suddenly fall silent, Feng Yuanlin suppressed his laughter and said, “Shuyan, did Zhenbai lose his temper? Is there anything else? Explain them one by one. I’ll help you analyze them properly and see if this kid is under too much pressure or if something’s wrong!”
Chi Shuyan was rendered speechless by Brother Feng’s words. It turned out that Brother Feng really treated this as gossip. Why did she suddenly regret calling him?
But since she had already said so much, there was no point in hiding anymore.
She pondered for a moment before saying, “No, Brother Feng. I just said that it was getting late and that someone was waiting for me at home, so I had to go back first. His emotions just exploded!”
Chi Shuyan pondered carefully over the other party’s questions again. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. At first, she was inclined to think that Qi Zhenbai was acting abnormally because the old man’s condition was a little serious. However, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the other party seemed to have misunderstood her words about someone waiting for her at home.
However, she felt that ever since they broke up, she had never done anything to cause misunderstandings, including interacting with the opposite sex. She had always kept her distance.
Jing Hengran was the only one who could be said to just barely have a good impression of her. The two of them didn’t see each other much, and usually just ate together. After thinking about it, she really couldn’t see how there could have been any misunderstandings.
Then, what was with the other party’s questions tonight?
Oh, right, there was also her poor phone. Thinking about how her phone was a write-off and she would have to buy another one, Chi Shuyan was furious.
Fortunately, she had picked up the SIM card at the last minute. Otherwise, she would have to buy a new one. Buying a SIM card was a small matter, but her previous SIM card was bound to a lot of accounts, including WeChat. If she really changed SIM cards, she would probably have to set everything up again. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan’s suppressed anger surged up again.
How on earth had she offended that man?
Besides, the two of them had already broken up now. Even if she really wanted another boyfriend, the other party didn’t have the slightest say. Thinking this, she suddenly recalled how she had ignored him and taken a taxi to leave earlier. The man had stood in the dark like an ice sculpture not far away, half in the light and half in the dark. Against the light, she had been able to vaguely see the exhausted, complicated, despairing and pitiful expression on his extremely handsome face, and her heart softened for some reason.
Had she been too unfeeling just now?
Chi Shuyan hadn’t quite understood why the other party’s mood suddenly changed, but she had a vague idea now. She had a headache and wanted to rub her temples. She didn’t plan to continue talking to Brother Feng about her private affairs. As for what Qi Zhenbai had said, she didn’t plan to repeat it, so she simply found an excuse to hang up.
On the other hand, Feng Yuanlin, who had been gloating and holding back his laughter just now, suddenly said anxiously, “Don’t, don’t, don’t… Shuyan, don’t hang up yet. Confirm with me again: You said that Zhenbai’s mood changed dramatically after what you said? You said that someone was waiting for you at home?” Wait, Feng Yuanlin suddenly remembered the ambiguous words he had posted today to fan the flames.
Wait!
Could Zhenbai have misunderstood and thought that Shuyan’s ‘new boyfriend’ was waiting for her at home? Did he think that the two of them were even living together?
Thinking this, he could understand Zhenbai’s sudden change in mood. Wait, he hadn’t provoked him, had he?
If Zhenbai’s sudden mood change was because of him, to some extent, Shuyan’s misfortune tonight had been caused by his Moments posts. Thinking this, Feng Yuanlin felt especially guilty. He didn’t have the courage to say anything at all. In the end, he could only ask guiltily, “Shu… Shuyan, how… how are you and Zhenbai now? You didn’t really quarrel, did you?”
Actually, he wanted to ask Shuyan if Zhenbai was still alright.
Given Zhenbai’s character and how much he cared about Shuyan, if Shuyan really got another boyfriend and was living with him, his childhood friend would definitely go crazy!
Feng Yuanlin was really afraid that if he interfered, his childhood friend’s relationship with his wife would fall apart again. This was also the reason why he was very reluctant to interfere in other people’s private affairs. He was especially worried about Zhenbai at that moment. He was afraid that he really had provoked Zhenbai. He couldn’t wait to call Zhenbai immediately to confirm that he was fine.
Now, he wasn’t in the mood to gossip. After Shuyan confirmed that the two of them hadn’t quarreled, he planned to hang up and call Zhenbai immediately. Before hanging up, however, Feng Yuanlin realized that the number on his phone screen was an unfamiliar one, and not Shuyan’s number. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Shuyan, did you change your number?”
“No!”
“What about your phone?”
“Someone smashed it!” Chi Shuyan replied lightly.
Feng Yuanlin: “…”
