Chapter 156 Being Completely Fooled
Xiang Yun took a few steps back, his back against the cold wall. The necklace in his pocket hurt his chest, and only then did he realize what was happening.
"I have something to tell you."
"Lily, it's me."
Xu Songning is Lily!
This realization sent chills down his spine. Too many thoughts were racing through his mind, and his brain, which was focused on the flight instruments, suddenly went blank, as if someone had thrown a bomb into his head, leaving only a blank space.
In the bar room, there was a small black mole on his back. The two of them both loved oranges. On the first day they met at the bar, Xu Songning ate an orange and his body smelled of oranges.
Lily ate oranges at the bar that day, not the perfume scent he mistakenly thought she smelled.
Purple hair... how do you explain that hair color?
Xiang Yun grabbed his hair, squatted down against the wall, stared intently at the ground, and heard Xu Songning's even breathing in his ears.
He seemed to be making excuses for himself, and also for Xu Songning.
Lily has purple hair, while Xu Songning's hair has always been black; she's not allowed to dye her hair for work...
One day it's purple, the next day it's black...
How can that be done?
A thought suddenly flashed through Xiang Yun's mind. He stood up, almost losing his balance. His tall figure swayed for a second before he grabbed the wall for support.
He rushed to the washroom, his sharp eyes scanning every bottle and jar.
No, none at all!
He roughly pulled open the cabinet in Xu Songning's bathroom, where several bottles and jars were standing. He immediately spotted the purple hair dye.
With veins bulging on his hands, he forced himself to calm down and took out the jar.
The bottle says "one-time hair dye," which explains why "Lily" had purple hair that night.
The transparent bottle shows the dosage that has already been used once.
All these signs point to one thing.
Xu Songning is Lily.
He finally couldn't defend Xu Songning anymore; even she herself had accidentally revealed the secret in her sleep.
If she hadn't been drinking and talking nonsense today, and if I hadn't brought her back and happened to overhear her talking in her sleep, would she still have kept it from me?
Xiang Yun was dejected, all his strength gone. He reached out, but couldn't grasp anything.
He suddenly felt incredibly stupid. After meeting Xu Songning, it was as if his intelligence had plummeted, and he hadn't even considered the possibility of a one-time hair dye.
What about Xu Songning's flirting with me these past few days? Does that make him stupid?!
Calm down, Xiang Yun! The most important thing now is: when did she find out? Was she intentionally deceiving me all along, or is she really planning to confess today?
Xiang Yun sat on the edge of the bathtub, calmly reviewing the events of the past few days. Memories of the past few days flashed through her mind, her fingers clenched tightly together until her knuckles turned white. The pain in her brain only made her more alert.
He had left his contact information, and if nothing unexpected happened, it ended up in Zhou Qiao's hands, who then shared it with her best friend.
But Xu Songning... no, it's Lily...
Lily was just playing around at the time and never intended to have any explanation for it, so she chose not to add him as a friend.
Until she met Xu Songning, the two became neighbors by chance, and their paths crossed due to many things in their work and life. Was there ever a trace of sincerity in what happened during that time?
No, these aren't the important points! Xiang Yun forced himself to continue thinking.
After being deleted from WeChat, Xu Songning asked herself if she had two accounts. After receiving an affirmative answer, she added both WeChat accounts back.
I have never changed my WeChat ID or profile picture. If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Songning and "Lily" discovered this when they were testing my WeChat ID. And I was even stupid enough to send her a birthday gift that day.
Ah, what a brilliant test!
What was her reaction to receiving her birthday present? Was this man really so easy to manipulate? He just needed to beckon with his finger, and he'd follow her.
Xiang Yun felt incredibly stupid! With so many clues laid out before him, he chose to follow Xu Songning's lead, letting her gradually invade his life and slowly enter his heart.
Xiang Yun never thought of himself as interesting or particularly likable. On the contrary, he was rather introverted. Among his peers, he could be considered calm and collected, but in romantic relationships, his lack of initiative and inability to flirt made him seem boring.
A vibrant girl usually doesn't stay by his side for long.
Xu Songning is different; she is lively and vibrant in her daily life, and serious and meticulous at work.
I truly came to know her in her sector, in her frequency, and on a windy day, I followed her instructions to land on the ground.
Xu Songning could mobilize all her energy, not only when flying, but also when Xiang Yun met her in life, he could feel that she was different.
But it was all fake.
Xu Songning knew perfectly well that he was X, yet she still chose to approach him and flirt with him, making him irresistibly fall for her.
"Brother Yun, why is your second button different from the others?"
She knew perfectly well that "Lily" had ripped the button off; she had ripped it off herself, yet she still questioned him about it.
What was she thinking when she touched that button?
In Zhou Qiao's bar, the universal room key that Qin You gave him, along with the identical furnishings in all the rooms, subtly hinted that other men could also come upstairs to stay overnight.
He realized that this was another of Xu Songning's traps. She watched him go around in circles over a single thread from her high position, while she controlled the whole situation and, with a flick of her finger, plunged him into an endless fog once again.
This man is stupid, but he's fun to play with. Let's play with him for a few more days? Once we've had our fill, we'll drop a bombshell on him and blow him to smithereens!
Xu Songning won, and this birthday gift surprised him greatly.
Xiang Yun's imagination was about to explode with anger; he couldn't stay in this room any longer.
The room was filled with Xu Songning's scent, a non-aggressive yet pervasive fragrance. He stood there, a few steps away from Xu Songning, and could feel her scent clinging to him.
Xiang Yun strode into the living room. Xu Songning's bag was thrown on the edge of the sofa. As he walked past, he bumped into the edge of the sofa.
The white bag fell to the ground, scattering small items all over the floor.
A lipstick rolling around, a small bottle of perfume, a bunch of keys, a few sticky notes and ID cards, and a card.
Xiang Yun took a few deep breaths, picked up the card from the ground, and his fingers trembled slightly as he turned it over.
A trump card.
He took out the cards from his pocket.
A small trump card.
Oh.
At that moment, all he wanted to do was laugh.
What a ridiculous twist of fate! If it weren't for someone else shuffling the cards, Xiang Yun would have suspected that Zhou Qiao had deliberately arranged this cheesy scene!
"Grass!"
Xiang Yun's curse was enough to prove his violent emotions at that moment.
He clutched the two cards in his hand, the sharp edges pricking his palm painfully.
The pristine, brand-new cards were crumpled and wrinkled, and the weightless pieces of paper were thrown to the ground. The light, fluttering sound ignited Xiang Yun's world.
