Li Huanhuan, 26 years old, is just a passerby in a book. She meets the protagonist at a blind date.
Qin Shi is the male protagonist of the book—a genius esports player, super popular, broad...
Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Trust value: 70 points!
Suddenly, Li Huanhuan felt much more relaxed.
Qin Shi put his hand on her shoulder, hesitating for several times to confirm. After finding that she was really not angry, he reluctantly took his head away from her shoulder.
Li Huanhuan poured Qin Shi a cup of water and went to the bathroom to remove her makeup.
My own original skin is the most comfortable.
Li Huanhuan touched the smooth and clear skin and thought. When I put on makeup before, I always felt that my face was greasy, as if it was covered with a layer of wall paint.
Now that I've removed my makeup, it feels like my skin is breathing.
"Sure enough, it's still comfortable this way." Li was still fantasizing.
When she came out of the bathroom, she was surprised to find Qin Shi confronting His Majesty the Cat.
In the past, whenever someone came to the house, His Highness the Cat would be scared and hide. But recently, I don’t know if it’s because Qin Shi has been coming more often, but His Majesty the Cat seems to be familiar with his smell. Today, he actually came out from behind the door for the first time and came to the living room outside. However, he still kept a distance from Qin Shi.
One was squatting on a cabinet in the corner of the living room, his back hunched, his whole body alert, even the "smart hair" on his ears was alert.
One of them was sitting on the sofa in the living room, dragging a plastered leg, holding a cat toy in his hand, and yelling at the cat on the cabinet.
One is still cautious, while the other is overly proactive and enthusiastic.
When Li Huanhuan saw this scene, her current relationship with Qin Shi flashed through her mind. Compared with the scene before my eyes, it is so similar.
"What are you doing?"
Li Huanhuan spoke up, interrupting Qin Shi's childish behavior.
"Ah, are you done? I'm trying to build a good relationship with Cat-sama."
Qin Shi turned around with a smile and said to Li Huanhuan, "After all, it is your sweetheart. If I can bribe it in advance and make it accept me, it will definitely gain a lot of points in your mind."
The purpose is straightforward and there is no concealment.
After that, he said:
"So, sister, how much trust do I have in you now?"
Without waiting for Li Huanhuan to answer, he immediately asked, "It can't be that the score didn't increase by even a single point, right?"
Qin Shi was holding a cat toy, dragging his crippled leg, and sitting there, staring at Li Huanhuan. Trying to win some sympathy from Li Huanhuan by acting pitiful.
Under his gaze, Li Huanhuan walked to the cabinet in the corner of the living room, reached out and picked up the cat squatting on it. In the past, because the cat liked to climb high, it sprained its front leg. After that, Li Huanhuan stopped letting it climb the cabinet. I didn't notice it today, there was a high stool next to the cabinet, and Your Highness the Cat climbed up on it.
She put the cat down on the ground.
As soon as the cat princess landed on the ground, she immediately crouched down, crawled on her stomach, and ran quickly towards her bedroom. When it was halfway through running, it stopped and turned its head to look at Qin Shi who was sitting on the sofa. It looked alert but a little curious, as if asking: Why is this two-legged beast still in its home?
Qin Shi waved the cat toy in his hand at it, and the cat was immediately frightened and took two steps back, turned its head, rushed into Li Huanhuan's bedroom, and disappeared.
Qin Shi: “???”
Qin Shi looked up with a bewildered look on his face, as if he wanted to explain: "Li Huanhuan, I didn't scare it."
It's not possible that his points would be deducted just like that, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Shi felt nervous, even more nervous than when he was competing. After all, he is good at playing games, but in the emotional arena called "Li Huanhuan", he is an uneasy novice. No skills, just emotion.
"I know."
Li Huanhuan didn't expect that Qin Shi, who was fearless in the book, would be scared by a kitten, and couldn't help laughing. After laughing, seeing Qin Shi still looking at her eagerly, she explained, "You asked about the trust score before, right? It's 70 points now~"
It was 60 points before, and now it has increased by 10 points.
Qin Shi's eyes lit up.
Taking the opportunity, he said he wanted a hug as a way of celebrating.
Li Huanhuan naturally wouldn't let him get any further.
Qin Shi stayed at Li Huanhuan's house for several hours. Finally, after dinner and when it was time to go to bed, he had to leave reluctantly.
"Li Huanhuan, will you dream about me tonight?"
When Li Huanhuan was about to close the door, he was stopped by Qin Shi's hand.
"Hmm?" Li Huanhuan asked doubtfully.
"Of course."
Qin Shi nodded affirmatively, "Because, I will find you in your dream."
Snap——
The door is closed.
After finally seeing Qin Shi off, Li Huanhuan turned around, leaned against the door, and felt his face blushing.
"You're getting better and better at saying nice things." After a long moment, Li Huanhuan spoke.
She raised her hands, rubbed her cheeks, and walked towards the sofa in the living room.
Her Highness the Cat slipped out of the bedroom, with his tail erect, and circled around her legs, meowing, as if asking where the two-legged beast had gone.
"Next door."
Li Huanhuan squatted down and touched His Majesty Cat's head, "You can observe it again."
She opened a can of cat food for His Majesty the Cat, speaking as if to His Majesty the Cat, or as if to herself.
Then he picked up the phone on the coffee table and opened the high school class group.
There is one thing you should do when you get home.
The group was very lively. It seemed that after the lunch gathering, some people started the second and third waves and played until the evening.
Li Huanhuan sent a message in the group:
"Classmates, I want to clarify here: the man that Mao Xin met in the hospital was not my husband. He was not physically disabled, but had a broken leg and was in a plaster cast. He went to the hospital for a checkup that day. Because it involves innocent people, I want to clarify here. Please don't believe the rumors."
The message was sent out, followed by Li Huanhuan’s notice of withdrawal from the group.
Mao Bin: "What's going on?"
Wang Nana: "Li Huanhuan is not married? @Mao Xin, what's going on?"
Li Xiaogang: "?? Spreading rumors?"
…
Someone @ed Mao Xin in the group.
Mao Xin just got home.
After dinner, she wanted to go to KTV, but on the way, her husband kept calling her, saying that the child was crying and had not eaten, and asked her to come back quickly. When she came back, her husband and children were asleep, and she met her mother-in-law who had just come out of the shower in the living room. Her mother-in-law was not happy with her because she came home late and was drunk.
Mao Xin was very angry and had an argument with her mother-in-law. Her husband, who was sleeping in the inner bedroom, heard it and yelled at her. Mao Xin cursed back, then took out his phone to charge it, and saw the message in the group.
Instantly, his brows furrowed.
Mao Xin: "How is that possible? Li Huanhuan is lying! That's obviously her husband!"
Mao Xin @李桓寰 in the group, but found out that Li Huanhuan had already left the group. The students in the group were all discussing this matter. Some people blamed Mao Xin for spreading rumors without clarifying the matter; some speculated that Mao Xin did it on purpose and spread rumors about the female classmate; there were also peacemakers who said there must be a misunderstanding and wanted to help Mao Xin get out of the blame.
No matter what?
Mao Xin's mind was in a mess now, but he was more angry. He felt that Li Huan was just pretending to be stubborn! The lame man she saw in the hospital that day must be Li Huanhuan’s husband! Her cousin Zhou Peng said the same thing!
So she was so angry that she opened the chat box with Li Huanhuan and questioned him.
Mao Xin: "Li Huanhuan, is lying fun?"
Mao Xin: "Your husband is lame and blind, and you still won't admit it?!"
Mao Xin: "You know Zhou Peng, right? He's my relative! He told me that the lame man he met in the hospital that day was your husband!"
Mao Xin: "I understand you. You feel ashamed to have a husband who is lame and blind. But you can't lie in the group, right? Who are you saying that in the group?"
…
The unsatisfactory life, the quarrels with her mother-in-law and husband after returning home, and her own prejudice and jealousy towards Li Huanhuan made Mao Xin lose control of her emotions at this moment. She became sarcastic and mean, and went crazy at Li Huanhuan directly in the chat box without any regard for the consequences.
When Mao Xin sent the message, Li Huanhuan remembered that he still had Mao Xin's contact information.
Seeing Mao Xin's prejudiced words, Li Huanhuan frowned. She is not good at quarreling and does not like to argue with others. For her, the grudges from high school were left in the past, and she didn't want them to affect her current life.
But Mao Xin went too far.
If she came to apologize to Li Huanhuan, then Li Huanhuan could still regard the rumors she spread at the class reunion as Mao Xin's failure to understand the truth of the matter. After all, she also said that Zhou Peng was her relative, and perhaps Zhou Peng misled her. As long as he apologized, Li Huanhuan wouldn't care too much.
But it is obvious that Mao Xin did not come to apologize, but to declare war. Then, Li Huanhuan had to remind her of one thing: "Do you remember what you said to me in high school? You said that we were not the same kind of people and could not be friends, and asked me not to talk to you or walk with you anymore. I think, maybe you don't remember these words anymore, but I remember them very clearly."
Mao Xin: "What do you mean?"
Li Huanhuan: "What I mean is that you were kicked off my friend list eight years ago. Today, after you said that, the last bit of our classmate relationship has come to an end. You are nothing to me. I have already explained everything in the class group. There is no need to explain anything to a stranger like you."
After finishing speaking, Li Huanhuan still felt a little uncomfortable and added:
"Mao Xin, I don't think I'm boring or uninteresting. Even if I'm mediocre, I still have my own happiness and ideals. On the contrary, it's really terrible for you to have said bad things to me back then, and for you to have spread rumors about me at a class reunion eight years later!"
"Mao Xin, you are really a terrible person! You have not changed since you were a teenager!"
…
After venting his anger, Li Huanhuan deleted Mao Xin as a friend without waiting for her reply. He exited the chat page, threw his phone on the coffee table, and fell back on the sofa.
“Huh~”
Looking at the gleaming white ceiling above his head, Li Huanhuan let out a breath, with a look of relief on his face.
Finally said it.
The bad thing is not her.
Li Huanhuan raised one arm and placed it on his face.
70 points, because Qin Shi gave her the courage to say "no" to the past.
