Chapter 451: Very Insane Person (part two)

"Honey, I think you got a point. I think I should just rest for a month, and give myself a break. At the time, I can also spend the vacation with you and Justin. Well, it seems one month is not enough, let's say, two months, "

Edward added, smirking. He liked it when Daisy behaved so protectively of him. Since she was fighting for his right to have a rest, he decided to take this chance and spend more time with her.

Hearing his words, Daisy flushed red. She also wanted to spend more time with him, but her schedule was too crowded, and that could only be a happy wish, but not practical. The New Year was about to arrive, and the busiest period at the military base had come. The veterans were about to retire and new recruits were enlisting, which required tons of hands to take care of the matters. The recruiting in Daisy's army base was different from the common recruit, as everyone of the soldiers there was to be as excellent as others. The soldiers in Daisy's base were rare talents, one-in-a-thousand men. However, although the talents were rare, not all of them were qualified in Daisy's eyes. The selection of talents needed to be dealt with carefully.

"No! No! Forget about everything that just happened! I am never here! I did nothing and said nothing! I'm merely daydreaming!" Rain was about to weep when he heard the words "two months". He was so resentful that he almost wanted to slap himself. What had he come here for? There were tons of people for him to pick on. Why did he have to joke with Edward and Daisy? It didn't seem like that he would be released from the burden, but rather, he would be enslaved with heavy workloads for two more months, if not worse. What had he done to deserve this? He was just trying to be the ice breaker, but it seemed he was trapped by his own words. What a cunning bastard Edward was! And he had also corrupted Daisy!

Daydreaming? No, I don't believe it. You're too smart to have a daydream. Besides, every word you've just said was all truth. They were structured with good points and awfully inspiring. I'm now enlightened, and also have decided to have some rest." Edward was having great fun when he was torturing Rain mentally. He was sleepy at the start, but as the conversation went on, he became more and more awake. He was merely playing with him at the start, but now, he was seriously thinking about taking two months' leave. A vacation sounded so alluring.

It seems that you're fully recovered, Edward. We heard the clamor from far away in the corridor." A man's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. The next moment, Duke and Belinda both entered.

Belinda, Duke, glad to see you." Daisy smiled gently. It was obvious that all of the visitors had rushed towards the hospital immediately, as soon as they were off work. The friendship between them and Edward was good, and she assumed that they were as good buddies as she and Belinda. There were always people who would help their friends at the loss of their life, and friends with whom one could share weal and woe.

When Belinda laid eyes on Daisy's bruised cheek, she cried out. Despite Edward's wound, she glared at him angrily, and yelled, "Daisy! What happened to your face? Edward! Speak up! Did you hit her?"

Hearing that, Daisy was both flattered and embarrassed. She just wanted to dig a hole and hide inside, as she had used up every excuse for her swollen cheek.

Belinda, it's not what you think. I'll tell you about it later." Daisy didn't intend to keep Belinda in the dark. After all, they had known each other for over twenty years; she didn't need to hide anything from her. But they had to talk about the matter later. It would be too awkward to say it in front of so many people, specially one of whom had already heard a version of the "truth".

Not him? Good! I dare him to lay a finger on you! Or else I'll make him lie in bed for another two months!" said Belinda. She raised her eyebrows and glared at Edward provocatively. She had never beat him at anything before, but now everything changed. He was in the bed. How could she not take the chance and bully a defenseless Edward?

Oh my! Belinda, you're like a goddess! You're my new idol! You're the VIP in my heart!" Rain felt superb whenever he saw Edward being bullied. He didn't care about the cause or root of Belinda's debate with Edward, as long as Edward was at a disadvantage, he was feeling great.

But Belinda wasn't as happy as him. She raised her eyebrows, and snapped, "Rain, what the hell is wrong with you? Have a closer look. I, Belinda Shangguan, am not your Annie. What the hell are you paying me compliments for? Did you lose in a truth or dare, and give me a scolding that was covered up like praise? What the fuck does VIP mean? Is it a cuss word?"

She didn't believe he was so kind to praise her. What was more, this Rain had spent so many years with Edward, and must have become as calculating and scheming like his shameless friend. As an old saying went, "He that lies down with dogs must stand up with fleas." She was sure as hell that he was trying to curse her with sweet words. And smart as she was, she would never be trapped. She would fight back and kick his sorry ass!

You misunderstood. I'm merely giving you a sincere compliment. Why would I curse you for no reason? There's no dispute between us, and what's more, like I've said, you're a goddess to me; I dare not pick on you. And if I did pick on you, Duke would break my neck and throw me into the sea as fish feed. Trust me, I was merely giving you a pure compliment, 24 carat." However, Rain was pissed. This woman was unreasonable. To her, debating with other people was like a habit. He meant to praise her. How could she interpret it as an insult? What could VIP mean, except for Very Important Person? He was just expressing his admiration to her.

Although enraged, Rain dared not reveal his anger. He cursed Belinda in his heart. Suddenly, he came up with an idea, and smirked inwardly. According to Belinda's words, he finally thought of an interpretation that fit Belinda well. Enlightened by Belinda, he suddenly felt that VIP could also mean Very Insane Person. And Belinda deserved it. How dare she mention Annie in front of him, and jeer at him? At her mention at Annie's name, Rain's heart cramped and ached. He had decided the new meaning of VIP, but for now he'd keep it in his heart. He would never speak it aloud. If he ever dared to mentioned her as the "Very Insane Person", he would be fixed not only by Belinda, but also by Duke. And he knew well that it was like waking a sleeping tiger.
