Chapter 111 (What Am I?) When True Is Taken for False, False Becomes True

“So do I have to ask you once again? How do you choose? Do you choose to let him win, or let him lose?” asked Chen Wanxin.

“Hum, as long as he doesn’t take part in the match, there will be no win or loss.” Lin Wenxi gave a cold smile.

Chen Wanxin did not expect that Lin Wenxi would say this. She felt sad and happy upon hearing his words. She felt sad because according to Lin Wenxi’s character, he would make every effort to find a solution. However, once Lin Wenxi got involved in it, it seemed that Zhao Yuan’s feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness on this matter would have nothing to do with her anymore. That was why she felt sad at the same time.

Lin Wenxi stumbled away. Although he wanted to see Zhao Yuan very much, he managed to keep an extremely clear head. Lin Wenxi thought to himself. “Chen Wanxin will not turn a blind eye to Zhao Yuan. As for me, I cannot keep myself from saying some impulse words once I see him. He is a fool. What a fool!” When he faced the wind, his tears were coming down again, and he could not restrain his tears until he spotted Gu Xi, who squatted by the pillar, painfully waiting for him to come back.

“Gu Xi,” Lin Wenxi brushed away his tears and said hoarsely.

“Wenxi... Where have you been?” Gu Xi slowly stood up from the ground and threw himself into the arms of Lin Wenxi.

“You... Have you been up here all the time? And why didn’t you call me ?” Feeling sorry for him, Lin Wenxi caressed Gu Xi’s hair.

“I am afraid that you have some important things to do. And I am afraid. I am afraid that you just ignored me.” Gu Xi pouted, and he did not dare to look up at Lin Wenxi.

“What happened?” asked Lin Wenxi.

“I am fine. I just felt like that no one wanted me anymore when you were not here,” Gu Xi whispered.

“Your Sister An’an, Sister Xiaoman, and Sister Nannan, all of them like you very much. You can go to play with them.” His words touched Lin Wenxi who couldn’t help smiling.

“An’an is overwhelmed by her affairs. I have told you about Xiaoman’s condition. Well, Wang Zhengjuan often brings Nannan to home recently, which seemingly gives Nannan a headache. Why do I feel that after we entered the sophomore year, everyone seems to be one year older such that many people are getting busy and lots of things also become complicated all in a sudden,” said Gu Xi.

“We all have long since grown up.” Lin Wenxi smiled. “Right, we all have grown up. I guess we should at least be more mature in dealing with things.” He remembered the photos he took just now in the underground boxing field, and he could also use them as irrefutable evidence to prove that the boxing field was involved in prostitution and drugs. As soon as he entered the field, he realized that phones were not allowed there. But since Chen Wanxin could come and go freely, he also dared to pay attention to everything and took photos when he wanted to because of his relationship with her, even if the security guards in the field had noticed him already.

“Sometimes, I only want to stay in high school when we were all in the Green Field Military Academy. Anyway, I can never go back.” Gu Xi exclaimed.

“Talk to me all about your recent events.” Lin Wenxi sighed slightly, squatted down, and looked at Gu Xi while smiling.

Gu Xi felt pain and regret.

“I just could not help...” Losing his self-control, Gu Xi cried on Lin Wenxi’s shoulder.

“Your situation is much harder than mine. You know perfectly well that Zheng Kai is not gay, then why should you...” Lin Wenxi caressed Gu Xi’s head fondly.

“Perhaps, people like us are all like this. We insist on seeking our doom, even when we know it is impossible. Wenxi, what about you? If, I mean, by any chance, you also find out that it is impossible for you and Zhao Yuan to be together, what will you do?” asked Gu Xi.

“Then, I’ll find another lover.” Lin Wenxi shrugged.

“Do your family know about the relationship between you and Zhao Yuan?” Gu Xi asked.

Lin Wenxi shook his head.

“I told my family long ago. After bickering for years, my mom simply chose to treat me as a girl.”

Lin Wenxi gave Gu Xi a thumbs up.

“Will you let your family know?” Blinking his eyes, Gu Xi asked with wet tear stains hanging at the corners of his eyes.

“I’ll know when it’s time. Now, I am not very sure about some things.”

“Is it because of Zhao Yuan? He praises you to the skies, and he is so good to you, right? However, he has never told anyone about his relationship with you. And he has never admitted his feelings for you, even to me, hasn’t he? Sometimes, you envy Sister Nannan, do you? You envy her that she has Wang Zhengjuan, who is willing to declare her love for her in any corner of the world, do you?” Gu Xi asked.

Lin Wenxi turned his head away.

“In fact, these are not the questions that I wanted to ask you. It’s just because that one day, I had talked with An’an about all of this. She wanted me to tell you that you don’t need to worry about all of this. Besides, Sister Nannan not really felt pleased to see Wang Zhengjuan tell everyone she met that Nannan was her girlfriend. After all, many people don’t quite understand their relationship, and they even laughed at them as if their relationship was some joke. Wang Zhengjuan had already made their parents know it because she said that she wanted to fight fire with fire. However, Sister Nannan wanted to let nature take its course.” Gu Xi sighed, not without grief.

“Really?” Lin Wenxi was somewhat curious. For if Zhao Yuan told anyone that he loved him, Lin Wenxi would probably fall in a faint on the spot with happiness.

“During that time at the beginning of the semester, Nannan never came to school because she had fallen out with her family. Her family heard that Wang Zhengjuan was also at school such that they would let her go to school only after she promised them that she wouldn’t have any dealings with Wang Zhengjuan in the future. Later on, she fled from her home by herself, and then her family cut off her source of income. So now, basically, she was kept by Wang Zhengjuan. However, Sister Nannan sincerely hopes that she can provide for herself. She had got a part-time job to do architectural design. But Wang Zhengjuan stuck with her all the time such that she could not get a space of her own. You tell me, do you want someone to take possession of you in such a crazy way?” Gu Xi asked.

For a while, Lin Wenxi was speechless. He then said with a smile. “Originally, we were talking about Zheng Kai. How did we start to talk about me? And then, how did we mention Nannan? I hope that everybody can be better, be much better. I also wish that we can all reach the other shore at the end of the time.”

“I just don’t know how far the time can go and how far the people behind the time can go?” Gu Xi said with a beaming smile.

“Do you know Red Spider Lily?” Lin Wenxi asked.

Gu Xi nodded.

“In front of me, the smile on your face just now blossomed like a flower, which looked lustrous and brilliant. However, behind you, your sadness spread all over the mountains and plains, like a boundless sea of bitterness. Xi, don’t be too hard on yourself,” said Lin Wenxi. At this time, they saw Wang Xiang come up to them in drunk. He directly squatted before Lin Wenxi, and the smell of wine on his body instantly assailed their nostrils.

“Bitter? You all know what you are. But for me, I don’t even f*cking know what I am. Who, who is more bitter? Sweet... It is sweet. Drink it!” With this, he lifted a pot of Chinese medicine and was about to pour it into Lin Wenxi’s mouth.

“What are you doing?” Lin Wenxi frowned.

“Do you know? Xiaoman, that evil girl, made the pot of Chinese medicine with red flowers, the seed of Job’s tears, and Angelica. What the f*ck! I cannot believe that she made it so that she could help An’an abort my child, the child of us,” Wang Xiang mumbled, “An’an doesn’t want this child. She doesn’t want...”

“Didn’t she drink it? She should go to the hospital!” Lin Wenxi turned pale with fright.

“You see... Even you think so too. You don’t believe me, am I right? You also think that I don’t love An’an enough, do you? Why? I want, I want this child!” Wang Xiang grabbed Lin Wenxi’s collar.

“Look at your behaviors. Do you think you look like someone who is going to take the responsibility to be a father? How many people crave to be a father, but they cannot?” Gu Xi said in a low voice.

“Is that so? I don’t deserve this child. Anyway, I am not f*cking qualified to be a father!” Wang Xiang stared at Lin Wenxi, his eyes widening. “Why I, why I envy you?”

Gu Xi and Lin Wenxi dragged and pulled Wang Xiang with all their strength, and finally, they managed to move him back to the dorm.

“Hit me. Brother Kai, hit me a slap, okay?” Wang Xiang jumped on Zheng Kai once again. Then, he hung on in his bed and stopped moving.

Zheng Kai threw a quilt on Wang Xiang’s butt and went out with Lu Sis, sullenly. In the end, he dropped a warning. “Don’t spit on my bed, or else I will torture you to death tomorrow!”

“Torture me to death... Great... I hope, I hope that you can torture me to death...” Wang Xiang murmured vaguely. Lin Wenxi was on the run, serving him tea and water. After a long while, Lin Wenxi finally could sit down at ease, and then he sent all the photos he took in the boxing field to Lin Ziwei.
