495 Chapter 496
"Hi, Yike..." This minx had been busy dealing with exams recently, and rarely came to pester me. It actually made me feel slightly uncomfortable. Now that I suddenly received a phone call from her, my originally slightly improved mood became even better; even the last trace of haze also disappeared from my mind.
This minx was really a barrel of laughs. Although she looked as naughty and willful as Chu Yuan and Dongfang, and even more eccentric and weird than them, she was always thinking about how to make me happy.
When I was bored in my free time, I used to compare several girls around me and ask myself who I wanted to be with most. Leaving aside all other factors, if I only considered the personalities of those girls, the answer would be Xiao Yike.
Whenever I thought of the rabbit dance she performed for me when I was upset the most, my heart was full of sweetness and warmth. Although her action against Mo Fei was too extreme, in a way, it was also proof that she cared about me.
Which man would not be proud and satisfied with such a girl by his side? Who dared to say they wouldn't want to be with this kind of girl?
"Uncle, are you kidding me? How many days have you not called me? Why don't you even log in to your QQ? I left messages to you every day, but you don't reply to me once, what do you mean?!"
Uh... The moment I answered the phone, I was greeted with a barrage of questions. The strong smell of gunpowder in those questions wiped out my good expectations completely. I thought she would ask me, "Uncle, did you miss me?" In a sweet voice like how she always did in the past, but I didn't expect it to be like this...
There was also one more thing I didn't expect, and that was my phone was on speaker mode as soon as I answered it! The voice of Xiao Yike clearly reached everyone's ears!
Did Chu Yuan or Dongfang secretly change the settings of my phone? ! Obviously, it was not the time to ask this. I was extremely anxious, secretly praying in my mind, 'Oh god, I hope she won't say something stupid to tease me like how she normally did.'
If I switched back to normal mode now, wouldn't it be equivalent to tell Chu Yuan that I and Xiao Yike had some unspeakable secret?!
"Aren't you taking an exam? I don't want to disturb your study..." There wasn't any confidence in my tone when I said this. I liked Minx but was also scared of her. Occasionally, I wanted to call her and chat with her, but I was worried that she would take advantage of this and come over to my flat. Now there were already three troublemakers in my flat. If there was one more... I really didn't know what would happen, "Besides, even if I didn't call you, you can still call me, right?"
"If I could call, I would have done it already!" Xiao Yike said angrily: "Put that stupid policewoman on the phone! This lady has something to ask her!"
Xiao Yike had a special background. She was both a daughter of an affluent family and a delinquent girl. But in front of me, she has always been well-behaved and docile. This was the first time that she spoke to me in this way, so I couldn't help but frown, "Stupid policewoman?"
Chu Yuan and Dongfang were also confused why the gentle and sweet-tempered Elder Sister Booby would suddenly become so rude and aggressive, so all of them approached me, blatantly eavesdropping on my conversation with Xiao Yike. I was a little confused, "You mean Xiaoye?"
"Yes! Apart from her, who else can it be! Uncle, put her on the phone! Today I have to ask her clearly! If she doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, I swear I'll never let her go easily!"
"She just went out... Eh? How do you know that she is with me?" I suddenly realized this problem and looked at Chu Yuan and Dongfang. Both girls shook their heads, signaling that they had not mentioned this matter to Xiao Yike. I didn't believe it, so I asked: "Did you hear it from Yuan Yuan or little Dongfang?"
"Neither, I haven't called them for a while," Xiao Yike said in a cold voice, "Thanks to that stupid policewoman, I couldn't call them, and I couldn't even meet my friends recently!"
I didn't understand Xiao Yike's words at all, "Why?"
"I also want to know why, so I have to ask her! "Xiao Yike said angrily: "If it were not for my dad watching me like a hawk, and I didn't want to cause trouble to you, I would've already gone to your place."
Your dad watched you like a hawk? And you didn't want to cause trouble to me? What was she talking about? "So you call me just to find her?" I was really confused.
"Mhm?" Xiao Yike seemed to remember something suddenly, and her voice became several pitches higher instantly, "I almost forgot. I'll settle the account with her later. I didn't do anything wrong after all, so I'm not scared of her! But I need to deal with what you did right now. Uncle, how could you betray me!"
I betrayed her? What was she talking about? I was confused by her words again, "Why did I do this time that offended you again?"
I remembered that the last time I met her, it was because of Gong Fanlin's incident. When Sang Yingjie gave the evidence of Gong Fanlin hiring a group of people to hurt us to Dong Xiaoye, Minx and Sister Tiger were still chatting with each other happily. Although they were not familiar with each other, their relationship wasn't this bad. So what happened in the past few days that made their relationship worsen so much, and how did we offend her?
"The whole world knows how you betrayed me, but you said you didn't know?" Minx's voice was so upset that it sounded like she was crying over the phone. But I could tell that she was probably faking it. "Didn't you read the news online today!?"
Not just today... Ever since my room was occupied by Chu Yuan and Dongfang, my computer has been used by them. I couldn't help replying bitterly, "No. What news?"
"You even have the audacity to ask me what news? It's really stupid of me to be so infatuated with you. You betrayed me! I almost died of embarrassment in front of Feng Xue and other people today. But losing face is just a small matter. What is more important is that you've hurt my feelings!" As if Xiao Yike was worried about something, she held back her emotions and said calmly: "Let's chat on QQ, it's not convenient to use mobile phones. There are always some annoying and nasty people shamelessly eavesdropping on young couple's romantic conversations!"
Annoying and nasty people, and the young couple's romantic conversations?! Minx didn't know that Chu Yuan and Dongfang were right beside me, so she had no scruples when speaking. I had a vague feeling that she wasn't talking about them, but Chu Yuan and Dongfang had clearly misunderstood it, and their faces quickly darkened...
What was even worse was that Xiao Yike's so-called 'infatuation' and 'romantic conversations' have already surpassed the level of arousing people's reverie. It was blatant flirting!
My forehead was already covered with big beads of sweat at the moment because Chu Yuan was gnashing her teeth with a livid face, her eyes glaring at me were as sharp as knives as if she wanted to slice me into pieces.
Dongfang Lianren on the other hand looked sideways and sneered coldly. I couldn't tell if she was gloating or contemptuous, and the expression on her face was very strange... Could it be that it was her who changed my phone's settings?
It was very likely! I had offended this little brat many times recently. At first, it was because I insisted on sending her back home. And then yesterday, we bumped into her when she tried to buy pornography, which was enough to become a reason for her to get angry at me. With her fearless and rebellious personality, it was definitely possible for her to do this kind of thing.
Chu Yuan didn't know that Xiao Yike and I had known each other a long time ago. It was even earlier than she and Xiao Yike became friends. But Dongfang Lianren knew it well, and even learned that Xiao Yike wanted to get closer to Chu Yuan, to a large extent, because of me...
I and Dongfang have already reached a tacit understanding. I would not prevent her who was probably a lesbian from staying with Chu Yuan, and she would not reveal the relationship between me and Minx. But now it seemed that the secret was about to be exposed!
But... if Dongfang really changed the settings of my phone, how did she know that Xiao Yike would call me? It was not possible that she changed it after seeing the calling ID. After all, if that was the case, she had to reject the call first and then change the settings. But in that way, she would have to wait for her to call me again...
Thinking of this, I checked immediately, and there was no missed call. Was I wrong? Was it really not Dongfang? I was puzzled, but there wasn't much time for me to think deeper. I came to the computer desk anxiously, pretending to sit down calmly, and turned on the computer like nothing had happened. The expression on my face was extremely solemn, as if I was about to discuss a very serious topic with Xiao Yike.
However, Chu Yuan was not a dummy. She wasn't fooled by my act at all. She chased after me and asked with a voice that contained suppressed anger, "Elder Brother, I heard everything..."
"Mhm," I deliberately avoided the topic and said, "Eavesdropping on other people's phone calls is not a good thing..."
Chu Yuan also ignored what I said and pressed, "Don't you think you should explain it to me?"
"Explain what?"
"Why did Sister Booby call you? Why didn't she call me?!"
"Did you not listen to her? She has something to ask me and your Elder Sister Xiaoye..."
"Then what did she mean by her being infatuated with you?"
I knew I couldn't fool Chu Yuan, so I turned around and bit the bullet and said, "Do you not know what kind of person your Sister Booby is? Is this the first time you hear her making this kind of joke? Didn't she often joke with you about how she wants to get close to me? This is a way friends used to express how close they are to each other..."
