Chapter 6, The Malevolent Fox Spirit

Hello, what are you doing? Has your girlfriend come back yet? You must not have had enough of each other this afternoon, right? Her voice was charming, and her words seemed to carry an indescribable allure.

I am desperate, "What the hell have I done? I am almost dying of injustice! If I had really done something wrong, I would accept it, but I haven't done anything and I am suffering this humiliation!"

I drove all the way, my mind constantly pondering over Aling's last words

After a while, there was a sound on the phone

I am anxious: "What should I do? Please help me persuade them!"

I nodded

Unfortunately, at this moment, I have no inclination to appreciate this charm

I was momentarily taken aback, and after a moment of thought, I said: "No way, I'm not anyone significant; why would they pay so much attention to me? Besides, I asked her, and she said we didn't do anything."

A Lin turned and went upstairs, suddenly saying, "Aren't you indifferent to Si Qi? I see that you care about her quite a bit."

A Lin sighed: "Is she beautiful?"

I kept smoking and recounted the events of last night at the bar where I met Luoluo, as well as what happened this morning.

A Lin is a friend I grew up with, the child of a high-ranking official. Thanks to his father's influence, he started his own company and, leveraging his father's connections, he has made quite a bit of money over time. Later, he purchased an apartment in a wealthy area in the southern part of the city and moved in with his girlfriend.

To be honest, A-Ling's words made me feel a bit guilty. After pondering for a moment, I said: "I have no recollection of what happened last night. As for being in bed with her, I doubt that happened. I was so drunk that even if I had the intention, I wouldn't have had the strength to do anything!"

A Lin said: "Please wait a moment, let me speak to her first. If others don't see you, it would be inappropriate for you to come over. She needs to calm down her emotions right now; she is currently quite upset."

Just when my mind was about to explode, my phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number

A Lin looked at me with a strange expression, took a puff of smoke, and said: "Someone spent the night with you... Don't give me that look, even if you didn't do anything. Does it make sense for someone to get up and make you breakfast? Does it make sense for someone to lend you a BENZ to drive?"

I shot him a glare, and Ah Lin quickly fell silent. I continued, "Even if I treated her like that, after all, I didn't sleep with her. Besides, everyone goes to bars to have fun; they shouldn't be the kind of overly conservative, feudal women, right? It's not like someone would fall for me just because we spent a night together. There are plenty of people who engage in one-night stands at bars. Not to mention that I didn't sleep with her; even if I did, it wouldn't mean anything. People come out to have fun, and such things happen often."

I vaguely recall the question that Luoluo asked me last night; it turns out I truly cannot articulate why I do not love Siqi.

You foolish boy, have you made a mistake? How could you bring your lover home? How could you be so silly? No matter how much you like someone, you shouldn't bring them home!" As soon as the phone call connected, this guy spoke to me in such a sarcastic tone.

I sent A-Ling to m.hetushu.com. Looking up at the upper floor, I sighed

I hurriedly threw away the cigarette and asked, "How should I put it, will she meet me? This is simply a misunderstanding! She has to listen to my explanation, right?"

I thought for a moment and said, "Beautiful." After a pause, I added, "Very beautiful."

I was unable to contact my supervisor Qi all afternoon; she turned off her phone and did not answer the home phone at all

A-Ling sighed: "Here we are, and you come in crying while holding my wife, almost making me cry to death. You really need to be more careful; at least do your work properly."

A Lin said with a smile: "Alright, if you don't want to acknowledge it, that's fine, but how are you going to deal with Si Qi?"

A-Ling shook his head, "I didn't mention silk stockings, I was talking about this woman. Who exactly is she? Just like that, she casually gave you a small BENZ, and you don't even think about it? What is your relationship with her? It's just a one-night affair!"

I pondered for a moment and nodded.

A Lin asked me with a sly smile: "Didn’t you used to say behind my back that you didn’t love Si Qi? Now that there’s such a wealthy and beautiful girl, isn’t this the perfect opportunity?"

I hurriedly said, "Stop! If you keep talking, I will become a rogue." After thinking for a moment, I continued, "It's not that serious, even if I really kissed her and hugged her. Fine, even if I slept with her for a whole night!" Ah Lin interjected, "I fear you might have even stripped the girl bare; otherwise, why would she only get up in the morning to take a shower? And she was still wearing pajamas! I guess..."

I scolded with a laugh: "Go away, stop adding to my frustration with your nonsense!"

A-Ling sighed, "Even if you didn't go to bed, did you hold her little hand? Did you kiss her face? Did you..."

A Lin suddenly asked me: "Then why do you think this woman would throw a whole car at you? Is she really that foolish? Are you so sure that you didn't touch her last night? Just because she said no, does that mean it's true? What if she really has feelings for you? What if she's just a shy girl who finds it hard to say so? What if she's trying to secure you and play the long game to catch a big fish?"

Upon hearing this, I was rendered speechless

I lost my temper: "You brought your lover home! That's completely untrue! Is Siqi with you?"

I said with a wry smile, "Then why don't you help me try her tone."

A Lin sighed, "They casually threw a BENZ at you; that must mean they are wealthy, right?"

When I was feeling lost, my phone suddenly rang. I looked at the number; it was my good friend Ah Lin. I knew that his girlfriend had a particularly close relationship with Si Qi. Seeing it was his call, I felt a stir in my heart and quickly answered.

A-Ling sighed and stood up: "I will go back and have a good talk with you. Tonight, I will have my wife persuade you properly. If there is any news, I will call you."

I forced a smile: "I didn't expect her to leave her stockings at my place!"

A Lin said: "This is it. She is beautiful, young, and wealthy. Would a girl like this engage in a one-night stand? We often go to bars, and you and I both know that those who indulge in one-night stands do not have a gem like this girl among them"

My expression darkened: "What kind of romantic entanglement is this? I haven't even touched her hand! If I really did something and had to suffer for it, I would accept it, but I haven't done anything, so how unjust is this!"

I shouted into the phone, "Chen Luoluo! You have ruined me!"

As soon as I heard it, I felt irritated, my expression darkening. Upon seeing my face, Ah Lin also dared not say anything, threw me a soft Zhonghua cigarette, and led me to a teahouse outside the community

At this moment, knowing that Siqi was at his home, I felt somewhat relieved and drove straight to the south of the city. Along the way, I ran two red lights, but I couldn't care less at this point

A Lin laughed heartily: "You asked? How did you ask? Just like that? You directly asked the girl, 'Hey, did we make love last night?' How do you expect her to respond? She's a girl; if you ask so straightforwardly, even if it happened, would she feel comfortable saying, 'Yes, we made love'? Is that possible? Which girl would speak like that?"

A-Ling smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. Here's what we'll do: I'll have my wife talk to her in the room. You, on the other hand, should explain the situation to me clearly, and then I'll pass the message along to you."

After I got dressed and rushed all the way to her house, there was no one there. She actually didn't come home either

I have nothing more to say. After thinking for a long time, I suddenly came to my senses and exclaimed: "What does that have to do with me? How she thinks is her business. The key now is how to explain it to Siqi! Why drag her into this?"

Can caring for someone represent loving someone?

I thought for a moment and admitted, "No. That girl looks like a respectable woman from a picture book." I then argued, "But that doesn't mean the girl is interested in me, right? Just because she borrowed a cart from me doesn't mean she likes me."

× × ×

A Lin was waiting for me downstairs at their home, having put on a coat before coming out. Upon seeing me, he said: "You are quite something. Si Qi mentioned it, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect your lover to actually be a wealthy person, even providing you with a car? This car isn't cheap, it must be around 500,000, right?"

I couldn't catch her, so I just followed behind. However, when I reached downstairs, I suddenly realized that I had just taken a shower and was only wearing a pair of underwear, so I hurriedly ran back.

A Lin comforted me: "Alright. Don't meet her today; it's a heated moment, and now it needs to be handled calmly."

A-Ling smiled wryly: "No chance, she would love nothing more than to tear you apart. She doesn't want to see you at all; she said that if you dare to come over, she will leave immediately"

I held my phone in one hand and took out a cigarette with the other, lighting it up and taking a deep drag. I felt my mind spinning uncontrollably, and the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became

I only feel utterly frustrated. Siqi ran away without giving me any chance to explain.

I thought for a moment and said to him: "This won't be clear over the phone. I will come to pick you up right away. You come out, and we will find a place to talk."

Why not have your wife persuade me properly? I will go over immediately

A Lin was quiet for a moment; I pressed my phone tightly against my ear, fearing I might miss something, but the other end of the call remained silent

A-Ling sighed: "I don't know whether to praise you or scold you. It's hard to say about such matters; if it turns out well, it's a blessing; if it goes poorly, it's misfortune"
