Chapter 34: The Truth

Unable to take her eyes off of him, Wei Wei glances at him and feels a little uneasy. 

This does not sit well with her. It seems as though he has turned into a prop for scheming and retaliating, all while being unaware of the situation.

After observing her demeanor, Er Xi cries, "Wei Wei, you're not backing out at the last minute now, are you?!"

What do you mean by a last-minute withdrawal? Did she ever express a desire to fight?

Wei Wei, who is secretly depressed, glares at her. They were meant to go out to dinner, but with everything going on, what started off as a straightforward dinner party has turned difficult.

Ignore it. She will simply act as though they don't exist. They will coincidentally be having dinner at the same establishment. Wei Wei urges her housemates, "You guys better focus on eating and talk less," in light of this.

Given the high cost of French food, she swiftly corrects herself and says, "Don't eat too much either!"

Just as he is turning to go back, Xiao Nai hears Wei Wei speaking angrily. He feels somewhat dumbfounded for the first time at witnessing her raw, authentic display of ferocity.

"Senior Xiao, would you just look at your (family's) Wei Wei?" complains Er Xi.

Her speech is quite pleasant to hear, and it makes Xiao Nai's body and mind feel content. Turning around, he looks at Er Xi and formally recalls her.

He tells Wei Wei, "You shouldn't treat our guests this way," acknowledging what she said.

Xiao Ling laughs with the others.

Additionally, Si Si musters the courage to tell Xiao Nai, "But Senior, we don't even dare to order anymore now that Wei Wei has said this."

"Don't worry, my wallet is not in Wei Wei's possession yet," says Xiao Nai with a smile.

Xiao Ling chuckles, saying, "We have to seize this opportunity to eat a lot. Wei Wei will have Senior's wallet if we wait much longer, and we won't even get to enjoy cheap stuff like preserved veggies at that point!

Wei-Wei doesn't cut them off from their animated conversation. She focuses on the individual standing next to her.

His elegant and attractive facial features possess an innate feeling of haughtiness and distance. However, it appears as though there is no longer any separation between him and her housemates. Wei Wei is not even remotely shocked. This is how he is; all it takes is a little patience to make someone happy.

He is really wearing a highly professional white shirt, as if he has just left a business conference, which Wei Wei missed when they were in the car. It appears to be correct. As soon as he got off his airplane, he asked them out to dinner. Not that he had time to change clothes.

Wei Wei feels unexpectedly full within for some reason.

She dares not speculate as to the Great Master's emotions while he was chauffeuring everyone here, but he probably assumed that this was just a typical dinner party.

Without a doubt, he was unaware of the underlying motivation.

It's getting even more stuffy.

While they are talking, Wei Wei halts her progress and heads towards the restaurant. She yanks on Xiao Nai's sleeve mindlessly.

"Avoid entering."

The instant Wei Wei speaks it aloud, she is relieved. All the bad and melancholy thoughts from the last few days and from seeing LoveChanel just now have vanished like a quick breeze.

Yes, it is correct. She simply refuses to enter. She has no desire to go out to supper in order to provoke others or out of pride. She simply wants to have a quiet supper with him; she hasn't seen him in a few days, along with her buddies.

Si Si, Xiao Ling, and Er Xi exchange glances but remain silent. "Let's go to another place," Wei Wei says as she raises her head to see Xiao Nai. I'm not comfortable here.

Xiao Nai's eyes flutter just a little.

Eventually.

"All right, I'll bring the car over," he agrees.

"Me." Wei Wei regrets the Great Master's extreme accommodation.

"I apologize for the trouble," she says, lowering her head.

"Come get the car with me if you're feeling down."

Ah? Raising her head in astonishment, Wei Wei notices a hint of mischievousness in his eyes.

>o<

"You leave and return soon."

Wei Wei turns to face Er Xi and the others after seeing him go with a straight back and says, "You guys won't blame me, will you?"

"No, let's not eat here if you don't want to," says Si Si with a toss of her head. You're not even accusing us of being behind your back in this plot. We have nevertheless shown ourselves to them. I can immediately tell that I'm happy.

With a hint of disappointment, Er Xi says, "Wei Wei, you really don't need to mind them."

Wei Wei replies gravely, "It's not that I mind. If this was a restaurant serving boiling fish in hot sauce, I would have eaten here. I would have gone in even if there were 10 LoveChanels inside. However, this is a French eatery. You folks aren't even fond of it; it's not something I enjoy either, so why should we force ourselves to consume something we dislike in order to enrage other people?

It isn't worth it at all. In addition to maybe experiencing indigestion, they would also be displaying the Great Master's good looks!

It's a game that costs money.

Er Xi sobs, "Well, I understand now."

Wei Wei is happy. "All you want is fish that is boiling in a fiery sauce."

Wei Wei, "..."

Introducing Wei Wei "That's essentially correct.

In her final effort, Xiao Ling says, "Aw, what a waste to give up halfway and leave now."

"Too much is as bad as not enough" is a proverb. This is sufficient. It's far better to get things done outside than to quarrel inside. Additionally, Oh, Xiao Ling.

She's been the object of a long-time stare from a set of eyes. Wei Wei raises her head and looks back at them directly. "The best way to deal with an enemy in disguise is to not even give her the chance to fight," she states with poise and composure.

Er Xi proclaims on the way to the establishment that sells boiling fish that she will consume enough of it to equal the expense of dining on French cuisine. Wei Wei didn't believe Er Xi's prediction would come to pass since boiling fish is tasty and inexpensive, while French cuisine is exceedingly costly.

But still.

In actuality, they consumed seven kilograms of boiled fish.

Seven felines!

Wei Wei is shocked to see how empty the large bowl is, with barely a few bean sprouts remaining. Xiao Nai has an air of serene composure. Wei Wei, feeling humiliated, tries to keep her roommates from losing their reputation entirely and adds, "Actually.Normally, we wouldn't eat this much. We can only consume four or five cats at a time.

With an indifferent nod, Xiao Nai signals the server, "Menu, please," with his hand.

Wei Wei can't say anything. >o<

Are you here feeding pigs, Great Master?

Xiao Nai drives them back to school after supper. Xiao Ling requests that the car be stopped as they approach a grocery store close to the school, saying, "Er Xi, Si Si, and I need to get some things at the supermarket." Senior, Wei Wei and you may go back first.

"We'll wait here for you guys," Xiao Nai adds.

"It's alright, we'll take a bus back," Xiao Ling declines his offer without further ado.

Indeed, they have ideals as well, don't they? There is absolutely no chance that they will be the third wheel after getting free food and drinks! If they disturb a couple's private time, they will be struck by lightning.

Her housemates laugh as they exit the vehicle. Wei Wei involuntarily tilts her head forward and moves her torso slightly outward. Her body seems to be behaving out of habit and moving as though it wants to get out of the car, even though she doesn't intend to get out.

In the very next instant, her wrist is forcefully grabbed and pressed against the plush passenger seat.

Surprised, Wei Wei turns around and sees him simply saying farewell to Xiao Ling and the others. His look seems so natural, as though he isn't exerting so much pressure on her.

Xiao Ling and the others laugh merrily as they turn to go. Someone is still holding onto her wrist. Wei Wei is a bit furious and says, "Hey."

With a little smile, Xiao Nai releases his grip and resumes driving as if nothing had occurred. After some time, Xiao Nai stops at a red light and asks, "Tell me, what happened?" quietly and straight-eyed.

Wei Wei responds instinctively, "Ah?"

Xiao Nai reminds her, "At the French restaurant,. Why did you wish to go without warning?

"Oh."

"Stop being a moron. You've never been a spoiled brat. What precisely occurred?

>o< Shall I thank him for his kind words?Anyways.

Sincerely, Wei Wei states, "There was someone I disliked inside."

"Um? Who?

Wei Wei is abruptly aware that the person standing in front of her is the one who should really be giving her a reprimand. He is the epitome of mischief!

She therefore remarks, obnoxiously, "It wasn't anyone." It was most likely she who attempted to give you a flyer but was unable to do so.

Abruptly, he applies the brakes severely and turns into a narrow lane. After stopping the vehicle, Xiao Nai turns to face her and gives her a little grin.

"Wei Wei."

Wei Wei feels a little afraid because of his abrupt question, "What are you doing?"

He places his elbow on the driving wheel and strokes his chin with his thin fingers. "Nothing; I just feel it's rare to see you like this," he says. "I just wanted to stop and take a good look," Xiao Nai says, her eyes sparkling.

Wei Wei gives him a sneer as her face gradually flushes crimson. She feels like her rage is going to kill her >o<.< p>

Despite the fact that her angry face makes her appear attractive, Xiao Nai stops himself and asks gravely, "What did that flyer girl want to do?"

After calming down, Wei Wei chose not to give a damn about him. She ponders for a bit before telling him everything from the beginning to the conclusion, although naturally she omits the specifics, such the measurement 34C ==

As Xiao Nai listens, his expression grows increasingly icy. It's all gone now—that cozy feeling in the car from a minute ago. Wei Wei stops talking when she realizes that her mood has changed.

"Continue," Xiao Nai responds without showing emotion.

That's all there is to it. Just now, they were having dinner at the restaurant. Er Xi desired to go since she knew they would be present.

"Name."

Wei Wei responds to all of his inquiries with "LoveChanel."

"It was four of them; are there any more?" "I'm not sure about the others," Wei Wei merely doesn't want to speak poorly of people in front of them.

It's alright. You may go have a look at their appearance online, but be quiet and leave them alone.

LoveChanel has been sufficiently humiliated that a large number of people have already begun to support her.

Leave them alone. Xiao Nai adds, "I fear I lack tolerance," in a chilly manner.

The Great Master appears to be very enraged. Wei Wei, on the other hand, doesn't give a damn because it's been a few days already. Since I was a small child, I've already become accustomed to hearing these things. They were once a source of motivation for me, but now they aren't even deserving of that status. Wei Wei stares at him, her confident eyes gleaming, and she adds, honestly, "Right now, my source of motivation is——" you.

Time pauses.

Her eyes are still fixed on him, shining brightly and captivatingly bright. Xiao Nai is at a loss for words when it comes to describing her attractiveness. He wants to shield her eyes in the hopes that his heart can stop racing.

Wei Wei feels as though she is being choked.

Just a moment earlier, they were obviously discussing a typical topic, but how did they enter this environment?

Wei Wei makes a concerted effort to turn her eyes to the window. As smoothly as possible, she clears her throat and continues, "You shouldn't keep parking your car here because it will impede traffic."

Xiao Nai is permitted to drive his automobile inside the school as a faculty member's family member, but only if he drives it all the way there to the females' dorm seemed unsuitable. As a result, he parks it beneath his structure and then escorts Wei Wei back to the dormitory.

The school is usually the liveliest between 8 and 9 p.m., but lately it has been very quiet because of test season. There is nobody else around as they stroll side by side along the garden's walkway. Overhead, a canopy of stars illuminates Wei Wei, a science student, as she mentally computes...

They travel a lengthy three hundred meter course.

They take an additional lengthy path that is five hundred meters longer.

It is eight hundred meters in total. Mm, she should be able to burn off those cooking fish if they take a couple more detours.

Calmly, Xiao Nai asks, "Come have dinner with my roommates following your examinations."

"Ah?" retracting her little contribution, Wei Wei nods, "All right."

"You choose not to?" He has a forced tone.

Indeed, I do. Simply said, it is.

Wei Wei responds to him, but she knows something is off.

Although she has always believed that she and the Great Master are at the "ready to be in a relationship" stage, it seems as though their relationship has been validated after all her roommates have done >_\. It seems so surreal.

Not to mention that she needs to go have supper with his roommates.

He's Xiao Nai, too.

She had been surrounded by the surreal sense that the name evokes for the entire time.

"Um?"

"It just feels a little surreal,"

Xiao Nai pauses his stride and spins around to face her.

Wei Wei also comes to a standstill.

Then, suddenly, Wei Wei is drawn into his hug. All of a sudden, she can't escape the smell of a new male. She is immobile as his arms around her. She can't see anything since her head is buried in his chest, but she can hear him speaking to her ears:

With a deep, icy voice, he adds, "I didn't want to do this so quickly," making himself sound even more captivating. "Does it feel real now?" he queries.

Everything appears to be in a roar, yet it also appears to be silent. Time has halted in the cosmos right now. In his hug, Wei Wei is able to just hear the pounding of his heart.

It feels even more weird to know what is genuine, but really, who cares? If anything is surreal, this is surreal in the most realistic sense.
