Chapter 169: Chapter 169 First Kiss Arc – Narcissism?
“Okay, okay, I admit that my Yuan Yuan is already an adult, okay?”
“You still treat me like a kid!”
“Silly girl, even if you are eighty years old, you are still a kid to me,” my stepmother suddenly showed a rare serious face, but right after she said this serious sentence, she regained her lazy look, flicked Yuan Yuan’s forehead, and continued with a smile, “It’s getting late, go take a shower and go to bed early. If you want to prove that you have grown up, don’t let me remind you of this in the future.”
“I don’t need your reminder,” Chu Yuan suddenly glared at me inexplicably. When our eyes met, she immediately turned her head away with a blushing face, “I’m tired today, so I’m not going to take a shower. I’m going to bed now.”
Chu Yuan, who could almost be said to have severe Mysophobia didn’t want to take a shower? Not even I was surprised, my stepmother was also shocked. Seeing Chu Yuan really walk toward her room, my stepmother asked again, “Don’t want to brush your teeth as well?”
My heart trembled suddenly, as I heard Chu Yuan say without looking back: “No, I just ate such an expensive thing. It would be such a waste to remove the flavor.”
‘What kind of reason is this?’ Chu Yuan’s abnormal reaction made me feel a little flustered and a little confused. According to Chu Yuan’s personality normally, after she accidentally kissed me on the lips, it couldn’t be justified if she didn’t brush her teeth ten or twenty times. But she. . .
“You are right,” my stepmother clapped her hands suddenly, “Then I am not going to brush mine well.”
‘I am speechless. . . Is this what people said about like mother, like daughter? Maybe. . .’
Although I was thinking like this, I knew clearly that I didn’t dare to think deeper, not only because I felt that it was unrealistic, but it was also very dirty.
I was not a narcissist, because that kind of narcissism would make me wonder if I was still a human. . .
…
From my parents’ house, whether it was to the school or the company, it was a long way, so Chu Yuan and I were forced to get up early.
After accidentally taking away my little sister’s first kiss, I was condemned by God and Saint Mary for the whole night. Until we left home, the bratty girl was still in a sulky mood and refused to talk to me, which made me feel ashamed and guilty.
“Yesterday was an accident. Don’t have any strange ideas!”
While waiting for the bus at the station, Chu Yuan suddenly said this sentence, completely caught me off guard, “What?”
“First. . . First kiss. . .” Chu Yuan lowered her head and said embarrassedly. “The kiss was an accident, so don’t get any strange ideas!”
“It was just accidental physical contact, why would I have any strange ideas?” I smiled brightly, but I thought to myself, ‘Chu Nan, did you really not have any strange thoughts?’
Chu Yuan was silent after hearing this.
With her head lowered, I couldn’t see her expression, not knowing what she was thinking; was she angry? Or was she relieved? After a long while, I heard her say quietly, “It was also an accident that you touched my chest. . .”
I pretended to be calm, but hurriedly emphasized, “It was an irresistible force!”
“And also. . .”
“There is more?”
Chu Yuan hummed for a while, then vaguely said, “That’s it. . .”
She must have something to say, but I didn’t know why she didn’t say it. Of course, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to ask about such embarrassing things, so I tactfully replied, “Oh”.
There was a lips-to-lips contact between siblings. Although it was an accident, it was still too absurd. However, the result that has become a fact could not be changed. Chu Yuan also understood this, so naturally, she was embarrassed to mention it again. That was why she didn’t carry on. In short, this incident ended in such a low-key manner, which surprised me.
I actually had the feeling of escaping from life-threatening danger. . .
Did Chu Yuan decide to let me off? . .
I didn’t know. . .
Maybe I didn’t want to know. Probably, it was just because I didn’t dare to think about it, so I was scared to know it. . .
…
I stared affectionately at the phone on the table, not thinking about other things, or I should say that I didn’t dare to think about other things. I prayed for it to ring soon, but also feared that it would ring suddenly and give me the bad news that was contrary to what I had expected. This kind of feeling reminded me of how I felt when I wanted to confess my first love. The damning feeling of tension and fear made me want to hit my head against the wall.
Alas. . . From cowardice to bravery was often only a step away, but how many people could make this step?
This was an investment of more than 40 million yuan. Although Mo Fei invested in the name of the investment department, it was still hidden from the people in the investment department, but as time went by, people would always notice something. After all, the truth would come to light sooner or later.
The furtive behaviors of Mo Fei and I have long aroused Liusu’s suspicion. While the rumor about our relationship has been exaggerated, people began to pay much more attention to us. So, sooner or later, the investment matters would be completely exposed. It would be great if we were able to recoup funds. However, if there was an accident, how was I able to take this responsibility?
I had no intention of doing any office work during the whole morning shift, I just hoped that Guo Xiang would call me soon.
I acted strangely, but Liusu acted even more strangely than I did. Although she no longer argued with me, every time when she took the initiative to talk to me, she seemed to want to say something, but unable to say it out several times. She could only keep drinking tea to cover it up. As a result, she went to the bathroom five times.
“Nan Nan, I have something to tell you. . .” Lius slid over with her chair to chat with me for the eighth time. This time, there was a firmness in her expression.
“What is it?”
Liusu’s pretty face turned red, slightly avoiding my gaze, and said in a low voice: “About yesterday. . . No, it’s about why I didn’t say bye to you on Sunday and left the resort first. . .”
“Oh.” This incident was indeed a knot in my heart, I couldn’t help but smile: “So, you are finally willing to say it? Hehe.”
“Can you be a little bit serious?” Liusu made an inexplicable serious expression, but then lowered her head and played with her nails. Her hesitant and shy look made my heart skip a beat, I was even more curious, “If you don’t want to know, just forget it, I, I didn’t want to say it anyway. . .”
“Please don’t do that,” I hurriedly said, “That thing has been poking my heart like a fishbone for two days, why would I not want to know?”
“Really?”
“Yes, really!” Yesterday I didn’t have the opportunity to ask, if it wasn’t for Guo Xiang’s business, I would have forced Liusu to tell me in the morning.
As if it was a really difficult thing to say, after hesitating for a long time, she finally took a deep breath and said: “Actually I. . .”
“Chu Nan?”
Just when Liusu was about to tell the reason, she was interrupted by Mo Fei, who hurried over. She glanced at Liusu, who was frowning, apologetically and bowed slightly, but her eyes were sparkling with excitement, “Follow me to the bank immediately.”
“Bank?” I was confused for a moment, and then couldn’t suppress the nervous feeling, “Is it done?”
“Mhm,” Mo Fei was much calmer than me, “Heng Xiang just called me to inform me that the discount can be made immediately, and I have confirmed with the bank already.”
Liusu looked at us confusedly, “Heng Xiang? bank? Discount?”
The burden of the 40 million investment was finally about to be relieved, how would I have time to think about other things? I got up and patted Liusu’s shoulders, enduring the excitement, and said, “Liusu, let’s talk about it later, we must go out immediately.”
Liusu suddenly grabbed my wrist and looked at Mo Fei warily, “What exactly are you two doing? Why are you acting so suspicious? !”
“Oh my little granny, now is not the time to get jealous.” After all, it was related to Mo Fei’s privacy or even reputation. I had no right to disclose it to anyone, including Liusu, so I said: “When we are done, Fei Fei will explain it to you, okay? Fei Fei?”
Mo Fei had dealt with many successful investments before. So she had been accustomed to the joy of being able to recoup funds. The reason why she was excited at the moment was that she was about to pay off Wu Xueqing’s debt. Seeing that Liusu seemed to be suspicious about our relationship again, Mo Fei was also in a quandary. After all, everyone cared about their reputations, and with her identity, of course, she wouldn’t want Liusu to know about this shameful thing of hers. Not to mention that I could also detect a faint of hostility between those two. But in my pleading look, Mo Fei finally nodded reluctantly.
