The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 42 Should I give him a chance? EDITED

When Xia Meilin entered Li Bingbing’s room, she went to sit down on her bed and took the PSP that was there.

Despite being a neet, Li Bingbing was a clean freak and a perfectionist. She is Xia Meilin’s best friend since high school.

Li Bingbing is a genius woman. She would always be on top of the class during high school and college while Xia Meilin came second after her. Even with all of the achievements she gained, Li Bingbing decided to be a shut-in, that’s why right now, she would always lock herself in her place without caring about the outside world.

Li Bingbing went and faced her computer. She started playing an online game and her fingers were so fast that it became blurry. "I am actually surprised that you got married to that shameful man."

Xia Meilin was playing some game in her PSP. "Hn. I had no choice. I did it for my family and my son."

Even if they rarely see each other, Li Bingbing and Xia Meilin were always in touch with each other. Of course, Xia Meilin’s situation didn’t escape Li Bingbing’s ears.

If Li Bingbing attended the high school reunion that happened four years ago, she would have probably saved Xia Meilin from her sad fate. But things didn’t go that way. Li Bingbing went to her province to attend a relative’s burial.

"What should I do, Bingbing? Should I give him a chance?" The reason why she visited Li Bingbing was to release some steam from all her stress and besides, it’s been so long since they last hangout like this.

Li Bingbing and Xia Meilin became friends when they met each other in an online game. After learning that they were classmates, they would always hang out together.

The reason why Xia Meilin was always so sleepy the following day was that she would always stay late at night, playing games or having a movie marathon with her best friend.

"Dumb*ss! If I wanted to support 4 talentless douchebags I could have just bought a Nickelback album!" Li Bingbing roared.

Xia Meilin frowned as she looked at her best friend. "Are you even listening to me?"

"Yeah, yeah. I am. What did you say again?" Li Bingbing asked, her attention on the computer screen.

Xia Meilin grabbed a pillow and threw it towards Li Bingbing, hitting her on the head. "Headshot."

"Hey!"

"Oops. My hand slipped." Xia Meilin sneered before she placed the PSP aside.

She groaned. "Yeah, right."

"Anyway, should I give him a chance?" Xia Meilin asked again while staring at the screen.

"You know, I’m actually amazed by how Lu Yifeng admitted his sins. You see, the words that most criminals will always say when they’re caught are ’it’s not me’ or ’I don’t know what you’re talking about’... Wow! This guy feeds so much he’s a f*cking charity case!"

Li Bingbing squinted her eyes when she leaned her face towards the screen. "Looks like someone let Grandpa on the computer again!"

Xia Meilin couldn’t help but sigh. She went out of the bed and walked towards her to watch her play instead. "You know, you’ve been saying something good earlier but you spoiled it."

"Look how slow this guy’s reaction time is. Why don’t he just disconnect and let the AI take over already?" She huffs. "Anyway, as I was saying earlier, they would always deny their mistakes despite the evidence that are shown against them but this man, he admitted his sins. If it was me, if I can see that he’s really sincere with his apology, I will give him a chance. Well... these are just my thoughts, you still have the last say in it."

Xia Meilin lowered her head after what Li Bingbing said. Lu Yifeng looked like he really was sincere and was really regretful... But she will make her final decision after discussing things out with him.

"After this game, let’s go out and shop! You need to get out of this place sometimes." Xia Meilin walked towards the cabinet and opened it.

"Sure, as long as it’s your treat. Go choose some clothes for me."

"Mm." She was looking through her clothes. Since Li Bingbing was a hacker and a game blogger, she earns money without taking a step out of her place.

Soon after Li Bingbing won the game, she stretched out her arms. "See where there’s only one set of footprints? That’s when I was carrying you all, bastards!"

Xia Meilin was so glad that she didn’t bring Little Melon with her. Li Bingbing would definitely be a bad influence to her son.

"Here. Now go take a bath." She handed her a set of clean clothes.
