BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8
Edited by Aelryinth
The narrow apartment stank of smoke.
The old ceiling fan kept on squeaking while it was spinning. It was difficult to breathe in the room due to the poor ventilation.
A woman sat on a rugged armchair. She was wearing a black sling dress. Her skin was fair as snow and her hair was long and curly. Her lips were red like the rose-tinted sky at sunset. She looked just like a typical fox-spirit in the horror stories.
She was holding a half-burnt cigarette between her fingers. She frowned and cursed all of a sudden, “F**k…”
“Mo Yangyang, I already f**king told you that He Shixuan was a b**ch, but you didn’t believe me. Look at you now, she took everything from you and beat the crap out of you. You totally asked for it!”
Mo Yangyang slammed into the couch with a blank expression, “They weren’t mine anyway!”
Lan Dongzhi had offered Mo Yangyang shelter after she was kicked out of the Mo Family.
The two had met in high school. They found one another an eyesore, and even had a fight before. The truth was, even now they did not find each other pleasing to the eye.
However, they did not hesitate to lend a hand to one another during their most difficult times.
Lan Dongzhi clenched her teeth, “Go away, I’m pissed off just by looking at you. You will never escape your fate of being a scrub for the rest of your life. I can finally get rid of you once you are dead. You’ve always been a pain in the eye, you’re as dumb as a pig, you…”
Lan Dongzhi suddenly stopped scolding. Her eyes reddened slightly, but she bit her lips to hold her tears back. She grunted, “If you f**king die, I won’t shed even a tear for you.”
Mo Yangyang rolled her eyes, “I was only hoping that you could take care of my dead body.”
Lan Dongzhi took a deep puff from the cigarette and tossed it to the ground, stomping it hard.
“Come with me to Shanglin Spring tonight.”
Shanglin Spring was where Lan Dongzhi was currently working at, a luxurious club in Xiacheng.
“What for?”
“What for? Don’t you like Xie Fengmian? Go sleep with him tonight, he has a reservation tonight.”
Mo Yangyang was shocked. She immediately shook her head, “No way, he was never interested in me. He’s going to hate me if I did that.”
Lan Dongzhi insisted, “What do you mean no way? You’re f**king dying, why do you even care? Just let him hate you for the rest of his life. Are you going to bring your regrets to your grave? At least he will know your feelings.”
The flicker in Mo Yangyang’s eyes faded away…
Lan Dongzhi thought Mo Yangyang was going to disagree with her, but to her surprise, Mo Yangyang said after a while, “You’re right, it’s my last regret.”
——
That night, at Shanglin Spring…
Lan Dongzhi had to drink with her customers. She told Mo Yangyang which room Xie Fengmian was in before she left.
Mo Yangyang gathered her courage, but she still did not dare to make a move.
She took a glance at the beer on the table and emptied the bottle in one go.
She was no longer afraid now.
Mo Yangyang shook her head. She began to see overlapping images in her vision. She saw someone coming closer. He looked just like Xie Fengmian.
Mo Yangyang fell into the person’s arms and grabbed his collar.
“Xie Fengmian… do…do you know how much I like you… ten years… I’ve been secretly in love with you for ten years… I really like you…”
“Can…can you fulfill the last wish of my life?”
Xie Fengmian walked out of his room. He was stunned by the sight before him. He opened his mouth wide and was lost for words for quite some time.
“Fifth…fifth uncle… what…what is going on here?”
Xie Fengmian was screaming in his heart,
Holy sh**, my uncle is hugging a woman!
It was his first time seeing anything like it!
Their whole family thought his fifth uncle was going to devote himself to scientific research to serve the country. The labs were like his home, and his discoveries were his wives.
Xie Xize wrapped his arm around Mo Yangyang’s waist to prevent her from falling. He had a dangerous look on his face as he replied, “As you can tell, it’s just some normal things between a man and a woman!”
