Chapter 6: The Beauty Demands Compensation
Seeing Bai Rou trembling and crying so sorrowfully, Chu Xixue's small face turned pale with anger. She pointed at Dong Jian and opened her mouth to curse, but there was not a sound. From her lip movements, Dong Jian clearly saw: "Bastard, you don't want the opportunity I gave you, do you?"
After scolding, she turned around and shouted at Luo Qiwen: "Qiwen, there isn't a single good man among you, this matter is not over between us, now, get out of here at once."
Chu Xixue glanced sideways at Luo Qiwen, noticing that his expression was indeed one of confusion. Her gaze towards Dong Jian softened considerably: "Dong Jian, you still know how to cherish beauty? Then tell me, how do you plan to make amends for the wounds in Bai Rou's heart in the future?"
I am very clear about who Dong Jian is; he would never take the initiative to bully others. You all should not go too far in your actions.
Dong Jian furrowed his brow and shrugged his shoulders at Luo Qiwen, saying, "I think it would be better for your Xixue to tell you about this matter in person."
His eyes immediately turned cold: "You are right, I cannot let you bully me for nothing. How do you plan to resolve this matter?"
Chu Xixue was also furious; she suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "Dong Jian, you scoundrel, not only did you take advantage of Bai Rou for nothing, but now you are also turning the tables on her. Are you even a man anymore"
Luo Qiwen looked in surprise at the door that Bai Rou had slammed shut with force, then slowly turned to look at Dong Jian. He stood up, pulled the bewildered Dong Jian along, and they both walked into another room
Ah... another room echoed with Chu Xixue's surprised scream, which abruptly cut off halfway, sounding as if Bai Rou had covered her mouth.
"No, you go away." Chu Xixue glared fiercely at Luo Qiwen and shouted loudly
"Xiexue, what exactly happened?" Luo Qiwen asked, looking at Chu Xiexue with confusion.
Upon hearing this, Dong Jian was infuriated. The girl appeared pure, graceful, and charming, yet unexpectedly sought to extort him. He would never engage in bullying others, but being bullied himself was something he could not tolerate.
Dong Jian held his dizzy head with his hand, unsure of how to express himself. He certainly could not disclose the embarrassing incident involving himself, Bai Rou, and the library on the long-distance bus to Luo Qiwen. If Luo Qiwen found out, then Chu Xixue would also know. If Chu Xixue were to be indiscreet, wouldn't the entire class of Bai Rou come to know about it?
Bai Rou trembled with anger upon hearing this, pointing at Dong Jian and saying, "Bastard, what are you talking about?"
"Dong Jian, come out here!" Moments later, the door to the room was forcefully pulled open, and Chu Xixue stormed into the living room, shouting loudly towards Dong Jian's room.
Dong Jianyi looked at his best friend, who was actually willing to fall out with his girlfriend for his sake, and immediately felt a bit guilty. After a moment of contemplation, he quickly spoke up: "Bai Rou, I think you should be clear that I did nothing that day. It was you who squeezed yourself onto me. I wanted to push you away and even scolded you, and you were the one who ended up on top of me."
He slowly walked out of the room, quickly contemplating in his mind what would happen if he just left without a word. Or what would happen if he stood his ground? Would this affect the friendship between him and Luo Qiwen? After all, Luo Qiwen was very obedient to Chu Xixue and had always been quite considerate towards him and his studies.
"Shut up." Bai Rou hurriedly shouted, interrupting Dong Jian's words, and then she leaned on the table and began to cry.
Dong Jian was crying inwardly and quickly explained, "Qiwun, it is not as serious as you imagine"
If that were really the case, wouldn't Bai Rou become the topic of discussion among all the classmates
Although Luo Qiwen is Dong Jian's best friend, Dong Jian cannot simply allow himself to be extorted, can he? After some thought, Dong Jian smiled slightly and said, "Xixue, from the beginning to the end of this matter, I have been passive. I do not know what rumors you have heard that have placed all the blame on me."
Dong Jian felt a bit flustered, as all the events that had occurred on the awkward long-distance bus ride were now known to Chu Xixue. He was uncertain about what kind of treatment he would face next. Chu Xixue was the girlfriend of his best friend, Luo Qiwen. If she were to confront him about this matter, what would he do?
"Do not always keep your head down and remain silent. Quickly and honestly explain to me how this incident occurred and how it ended?" No matter how much Luo Qiwen pressed, Dong Mingjun remained silent.
Dong Jian raised his hand to pat his own head, realizing that Chu Xixue was clearly trying to help him. How could he misunderstand her? Thinking that, with Chu Xixue's assistance, Bai Rou's proposal regarding mental distress might actually turn out to be a good thing, he immediately began to feel regret.
He thought for a moment and said: "Xiexue, that day I intended to push her away, but she regarded me as a bad person, which frightened me and made me hesitate to push her. Later, I wanted to help her, but I was afraid of hurting the old lady behind her, so I didn't dare to push her away. Bai Rou was aware of this matter in her heart."
Chu Xixue coldly laughed and said: "Don't try to argue with me. You might be able to say this to others, but do you think I will believe you? You, Dong Jian, are from a family of martial artists; how strong do you think you are? With your strength, if you don't help Bai Rou out of her awkward situation, isn't that just taking advantage of her?"
Bang... Bai Rou slammed the table and stood up, tears welling in her beautiful eyes: "Dong Jian, you must compensate me for my emotional distress today"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qiwen could no longer maintain his composure. His best friend was currently being tormented by two women, one of whom was his own girlfriend. Moreover, the person his girlfriend was assisting was merely a classmate he had known for just a few days.
Chu Xixue tightly grasped Bai Rou's delicate arm, and the two girls sat together on the sofa. Chu Xixue continuously filled the four wine glasses on the table. Bai Rou lowered her head deeply, almost burying it in her ample bosom.
As soon as he entered the room, Luo Qiwen hurriedly asked, "You brat, honestly tell me, what is going on with this matter? Why does Bai Rou have such mixed feelings of hatred and love for you? Did you, you brat, do something to her? And you left without even telling her your name? Such a beautiful girl, and you actually just finished and left; how could you bring yourself to do such a thing?"
Luo Qiwen's probing question left Dong Jian dumbfounded, wondering how these things were even related. Was Luo Qiwen's imagination really that vivid? However, thinking back to Bai Rou's attitude towards him just now, he couldn't help but feel a bit pleased.
Luo Qiwen grabbed Dong Jian and, with his back to Chu Xixue, shouted loudly at Dong Jian: "I was right all along. After knowing you for so many years, I've never seen you date a single girl. How can you be so irresponsible towards Bai Rou?" As he shouted, he winked at Dong Jian enviously.
Luo Qiwen asked suspiciously from the side: "What exactly is going on? Can you tell me about it?"
