Chapter 72: Going Crazy Day 72: Washing Underwear with a Cold Face
Chapter 72
Lu Xingjian brought Tan Mo to the foot of a mountain. From a distance, it looked like a dense forest with distant mountains nearby. Among the greenery, there were several pavilions for tourists to rest.
If it wasn't nearly dusk, Tan Mo would have wanted to go hiking to escape the heat, but from her experience as a country person, if she went in at this time, there would only be darkness and silence that blocked out the sun, which would make people feel terrified.
Fortunately, there were more than a dozen people where Lu Xingjian parked his car, which was not a small number and could give him courage.
The scene was in a mess, and there was even a high-altitude sprinkler truck.
This was the suburbs. After nearly two hours of driving, Tan Mo got off the car and asked blankly, "Why did you bring me here?"
"Remember to turn on the headlights later to illuminate the left side of my face. My side looks better." A faint voice came into her ears. Tan Mo looked over and saw Bo Yanli talking to someone not far away.
"Got it, Boss. I'll make a note after the rehearsal."
Lu Xingjian walked over to Tan Mo and said, "My mom will come down from the mountain later. Bo Yanli wants to artificially create..."
He pondered for a more appropriate word, then said, "You know what idol dramas are like? When audiences see the highlights—the hero and heroine meet, fall in love—they find them beautiful. The hero is so handsome, the heroine is so beautiful. But that's all deliberately fabricated by the crew and actors. Bo Yanli wanted to artificially create his encounter with Zhao Yun."
"It makes Zhao Yun feel like she's the heroine of an idol drama."
"Our mission," Lu Xingjian pointed, "is to stand on the sprinkler truck and spray water from high above."
Tan Mo: “…”
"Let's go." Lu Xingjian pulled her over, "They're already urging us."
Tan Mo: …She doesn’t understand. She’s already a CEO, so why would she do something like this? It’s like she’s back to when she was Nangong Lie’s assistant.
Lu Xingjian seemed to know what she was thinking. "500 an hour, are you willing to do it?"
Tan Mo whistled, "That's pretty good."
Every Thursday, Zhao Yun goes to Yongfu Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. This has been her habit for many years.
Today she sought help from the host and returned home later than usual.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, the towering mountains swallowed up the last ray of sunlight.
"Fortunately, I walked fast, otherwise I would be a little scared." Zhao Yun looked back at the road she came from. Although the mountain road covered with shade from trees was illuminated by street lights along the way, it seemed as if it was already night in the mountains.
"Hey, why is it raining?" Zhao Yun felt a few drops of rain falling on her forehead. She touched it, and then heavy rain poured down.
Zhao Yun hurriedly retreated to the shade of a tree.
"Oh, what a hassle. What bad luck!" Zhao Yun patted her wet shirt. "Why is it raining?"
She didn't even take an umbrella, and the nearest bus was more than ten minutes away.
Lu Jingtang said he would come to pick her up, and they met at the bus stop. Why not just wait here, Zhao Yun thought.
Zhao Yun stood on the steps, looking into the distance. The heavy rain was like silver threads, as if woven into a dense spider web, covering her head, leaving her no chance of getting out.
Strangely, she was not wet by the rain after she stood in the shade.
Zhao Yun didn't think much about it.
On such a rainy evening, Zhao Yun actually thought of Bo Yanli.
This is the man she loves and hates, but has to bear the pain of parting with.
She recalled their honeymoon tryst in the hotel half a month ago. The man had one foot in the coffin, and he went crazy in the hotel and couldn't get out of bed for the whole day.
Bo Yanli would even feed her himself.
Zhao Yun seemed to have returned to her youth.
How beautiful.
If Bo Yanli was her husband, he would definitely come to pick her up in person in such heavy rain, right?
Suddenly, in the dim environment, bright car lights lit up in front of my eyes.
A tall and fat figure appeared in the light and shadow.
Tan Mo, who was standing high up and sprinkling water, grumbled quietly, "As people age, their metabolic rate slows down. Even with Bo Yanli wearing only a shirt, he looks fat."
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Did he stretch this shirt so much? His little belly is showing.
Lu Xingjian: “…”
However, Zhao Yun blushed and her heart was pounding.
It turned out to be the handsome Bo Yanli. Was she seeing things?
Zhao Yun blinked hard.
The figure did not disappear.
Her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
On a rainy day, a tall man looks at you intently and walks towards you.
If we add some infectious background music, what else could this be but a classic Korean drama scene?
you are my destiny ~you are my everything~
So romantic and touching!
The shirt was soaked by water and stuck to his belly. Bo Yanli walked up to Zhao Yun. His belly was visibly shaking up and down due to the movement.
Bo Yanli was soaked to the skin and called out affectionately, "Zhao Yun."
Don't show too much happiness! Don't! Although Zhao Yun wanted to rush into Bo Yanli's arms and shout "I forgive you, let's get back together!"
Zhao Yun took a deep breath, looked away, and said coldly, "Why are you here?"
"We had a fight before, have you forgotten?" Bo Yanli followed Zhao Yun's gaze, "I'm here to comfort you."
Oh my god! Every cell in my body is screaming!
You are so good!
Zhao Yun gritted her teeth and said, "I don't need your coaxing. Didn't I tell you? We're breaking up."
"A husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. They quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. How can we just break up like that?"
Zhao Yun blurted out, "Then why are you trying to coax me now?"
Bo Yanli:?
A hint of pride rose in his heart, and he knew that Zhao Yun would never escape from his control in this life.
He knew Zhao Yun very well.
The tactic of giving her a slap and then a date always works for her.
As long as he takes action and shows his tenderness to Zhao Yun, she will definitely surrender.
Zhao Yun wanted to slap herself, calling her a dirty talker who couldn't keep her secrets.
"I don't mean anything else, don't think too much." Zhao Yun became irritated. "I won't talk to you anymore."
It's better to say nothing than to say more. She tried to move forward and escape, but was caught by Bo Yanli.
The man's palm was warm, which gave Zhao Yun goose bumps on her arms and made her heart feel like it was rippled with water.
Bo Yanli held her wrist tightly, "Yun'er, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have done this to you."
"If I could do it again, I would definitely pursue you first and respect your wishes."
"I just... was deeply attracted to you and fascinated by you the first time I saw you. I'm so humble, as lowly as dust, and I was afraid that you would look down on me, so I came up with this idea."
"Stop talking, you really broke my heart. Do you think I can forgive you just by saying a few words? Don't dream!" One-night stand has always been a deep-seated disease in her heart. Zhao Yun hardened her heart, broke free from his hand and ran out.
Bo Yanli chased after him and shouted, "What do you want me to do to forgive me?"
"Never!" The rain was still heavy and Zhao Yun was soaked by the water and couldn't open her eyes.
She ran to another shade of a tree, a few meters away from Bo Yanli.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind her. Zhao Yun turned around and saw Bo Yanli had fallen to the ground.
Zhao Yun wanted to go over to see what was going on, but she stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, and Bo Yanli, who was lying on the ground, felt more and more confident after hearing it.
It’s just…is this prop team turning up the water higher and higher?
As soon as he tilted his head back and opened his mouth, he drank a mouthful of water. How could he speak?
A little bit of water will create a romantic atmosphere, but too much water will make him completely soaked. How can he charm Zhao Yun to death?
He reached into his trouser pocket and touched the communicator used to communicate with the staff.
Fortunately, he was smart and had thought about this situation during the rehearsal.
They agreed that if they pressed the button once, it meant there was too little water and they should water more; if they pressed the button twice, they should stop watering; and if they pressed the button three times, it meant there was too much water and they should water less.
Bo Yanli pressed it once, and continued pressing it... but it didn't seem to work... It seemed like this thing was broken.
Bo Yanli:?
Tan Mo, who was standing on a high platform sprinkling water, casually fiddled with the water speed switch. It was her first time doing this kind of work and she was very curious about the new equipment. She really wanted to try the highest water level to see how much water would be sprayed.
"Bo Yanli is really rich. He can even get things like this."
Lu Xingjian patted her and said, "I just received a notice that Bo Yanli asked us to spray more water."
It's really what you say.
Tan Mo immediately turned the switch to the maximum and said excitedly, "Right away, right away."
Bo Yanli, who used to be able to drink water as soon as he opened his mouth, soon experienced what it felt like to be pressed to the ground by the powerful water pressure and unable to get up at all.
Bo Yanli: "..."
Zhao Yun was also startled and stepped back. "What happened? Didn't Nuwa repair this piece of the sky?"
After more than ten minutes, the rain gradually subsided.
It wasn't that Tan Mo had a change of heart and turned the switch back, but she realized that if she continued like this, there would not be enough water.
Fortunately, Bo Yanli managed to get up from the ground.
After soaking in the water for a long time, Bo Yanli's face looked like a swollen steamed bun, swollen and white.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, ahem..." Bo Yanli's voice was weak and ethereal. "Yesterday I had a stroke and was lying in the hospital. I ignored the doctor's advice and came out of the hospital just to see you. Just to apologize to you."
Oh my god, he had a stroke and was hospitalized!
He even came to see me and said sorry.
The balance in Zhao Yun's heart slowly tilted towards Bo Yanli.
Bo Yanli pretended to be sick and walked towards Zhao Yun tremblingly.
Because he had a stroke, his walking was already unsteady, but he pretended to be very convincing.
"I can't hide, Yun'er. I'm sorry for hurting you. I really deserve to die. You've suffered so much for me."
"As long as you can forgive me this time, I will definitely divorce Tang Yi and be with you."
"Haven't you been looking forward to a lawn wedding? Let's get married next month, no, next week. Let's have a grand wedding and let everyone know that you're marrying me openly and honestly, okay?"
Tan Mo looked down from above. At such a long distance, she could only hear their voices through the headset.
But Bo Yanli's speech was so passionate and high-spirited that it formed a duet with the sound in the earphones.
Tan Mo raised her eyebrows, "Zhao Yun doesn't want to agree, does she?"
Zhao Yun did have such an idea.
Bo Yanli said he wanted to marry her, and that was after he divorced Tang Yi.
The fact that there has never been a wedding is also a pain in Zhao Yun's heart.
The defenses you build up are in danger of collapsing.
Suddenly, not far away, Lu Jingtang shouted, "Sister Yun! What are you doing?"
"Clean room..." Zhao Yun was surprised.
My defenses are finally secured.
Lu Jingtang hurried to her side and put some distance between Zhao Yun and Bo Yanli.
He had heard some of Bo Yanli's words just now, and he shook Zhao Yun with a look of disapproval. "If I hadn't come, would you have forgiven him like this? We've just started to live a good life."
"Hasn't your heart been very peaceful these days without him?"
These were all lies told by Zhao Yun and Lu Jingtang. In fact, every day without Bo Yanli, she lived like a walking corpse, her mind blank, unable to recite the scriptures.
Zhao Yun glanced away. She was afraid to face Lu Jingtang like this.
Lu Jingtang let go of Zhao Yun and glared at Bo Yanli with narrowed eyes. "You despicable villain, why are you still pestering Sister Yun?"
"Yunmei said she has long forgotten what happened between you two. Get out of here now and don't show up in front of us again, or you'll be fine with my fists."
Bo Yanli put away his weak expression and retorted bluntly, "Even if what happened between Yun'er and me is over, who are you to say this?"
"I..." Lu Jingtang was speechless.
He had been licking Zhao Yun for so many years, giving her money and spending his energy, but in the end, he got nothing.
Their relationship was limited to friends, but Lu Jingtang wanted more than just friends.
Zhao Yun and Bo Yanli have broken up, so will he usher in spring?
Lu Jingtang no longer wants to be a bootlicker indefinitely; today is the day to decide whether he can become a regular employee.
Even the gentlest people have tempers. He asked Zhao Yun, "Sister Yun, just one word for me today: choose me or him?"
"If you choose me, then you will have to break up with him from now on and never see him again. If it's not me, then I... wish you happiness and I will stay away from your life."
"Jingtang..." Zhao Yun shed tears, "How can I choose? I don't want to hurt either of you."
Zhao Yun felt embarrassed because both men were very important to her and she was reluctant to give up either of them. On the other hand, she was secretly very happy because she was so charming that two men were fighting for her!
Don’t be too happy!
Lu Jingtang, "Don't forget how he raped you and hurt you. I'll count down from ten. After ten, you must give me an answer."
Bo Yanli hurriedly canvassed for votes for himself, "Yun'er, I've already apologized to you. You said you would forgive me."
"Hmph." Lu Jingtang looked down on him, "Ten, nine, eight..."
"Don't push me."
“How can I choose?”
"Five, four, three..."
“It’s so difficult.”
"Two, one."
Lu Jingtang looked at her solemnly, "Yun'er."
Under two pairs of expectant gazes, Zhao Yun struggled to grab the corner of Lu Jingtang's clothes and said, "Jingtang, I'll go with you."
Lu Jingtang had actually already made up his mind that Zhao Yun would not choose him. After all, Zhao Yun had always chosen Bo Yanli in the past.
He suddenly felt the joy of having won the lottery, and the haze was swept away. "Sister Yun, I'll take you away right now. Let's go home and discuss our future plans in detail."
Zhao Yun chose Lu Jingtang based on her own considerations.
After she ran away from the Bo family, she had no money and had been living in Lu Jingtang's house.
In addition, Lu Jingtang also gave her a lot of money.
She wanted to ask a monk to read Buddhist scriptures to her, and Lu Jingtang invited the monk to his home without hesitation to help her out of her predicament, without any complaints.
Bo Yanli came to see her too suddenly, and her things were still at Lu Jingtang's house. No matter how crazy she was, she couldn't do such a thing as destroying the bridge after crossing it.
Secondly, it was so nice that Bo Yanli came to her in such a humble manner to get back together with her!
It greatly satisfied her vanity and the feeling of being in control and manipulating people's hearts.
She wanted to feel it more.
Perhaps only Bo Yanli was struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze.
Why didn’t Zhao Yun choose him?
Is she really going to give up on him?
What should he do then?
Tang Yi has already betrayed him, who else can he turn to?
The methods he had used to deal with Zhao Yun all along had failed. Lu Xingjian watched Zhao Yun leave with Lu Jingtang, feeling so anxious as if countless ants were crawling all over his body.
He pulled a handful of his hair and immediately felt his blood pressure rising.
"Zhao Yun." Bo Yanli shouted suddenly, and when Zhao Yun turned around, he knelt on the ground.
Zhao Yun's pupils shrank.
In order to keep her, Bo Yanli disregarded his face as a man and knelt on the ground to beg her.
Tan Mo exclaimed, "Wow!" and said, "Let all the rain fall so you can't see the struggle on my face."
Lu Xingjian: "What are you doing?"
"I'm matching the background music for him. It's Wang Sulong's 'Let the Rain Fall All Down'. Have you heard of it?"
Lu Xingjian: “…”
Before Lu Xingjian could say anything else, Tan Mo asked again in confusion, "What is Bo Yanli doing again? Could it be what I think it is?"
Lu Xingjian looked up and saw Bo Yanli kneeling in the cold rain. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, pressed the lighter, and tried to light it.
Just as the spark came out of the lighter, it was extinguished by the rain the next second.
He did this several times, and the cigarette in his mouth went from being straight to being limp.
Tan Mo was truly speechless at Bo Yanli's actions. "How could he light a cigarette when it's raining? Don't you have any common sense?"
"And why are you kneeling in the rain smoking? Is there some special reason for that?"
Zhao Yun asked this question, she also had the same confusion, "Why do you smoke?"
Bo Yanli said self-deprecatingly, "You don't understand. This is the ritual our Bo family prepares for the departure of a beloved woman. It's a family custom. Smoking in the rain—very romantic, isn't it?"
"You're about to choose to leave with him. I feel so bad. Can't you let me smoke one?"
"This shows that everyone in your Bo family is crazy, that's why you have such rules." Lu Jingtang complained.
Tan Mo gave a thumbs up and said, "Good scolding."
At the same time, she considerately turned off the sprinkler so that Bo Yanli could light his cigarette. She wanted to see how the rules of their Bo family would continue.
Tan Mo asked, "Lu Xingjian, does your Bo family really have such a rule? Have you ever done it before?"
Lu Xingjian was very upset after hearing what Bo Yanli said. He was afraid that Tan Mo would mistakenly think that he was also mentally ill, so he quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I don't smoke or drink, and I'm in good spirits. It's hard for a normal person to do such a thing."
Tan Mo said "oh".
Why did Lu Xingjian feel like he heard a tone of pity?
But he secretly made up his mind that he was already embarrassed enough in front of Tan Mo, and he would not be embarrassed again.
Bo Yanli took action again over there.
With the help of Tan Mo, he finally lit the cigarette, took two puffs, and then started coughing violently.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?!" Zhao Yun ran forward two steps distressed, but was quickly grabbed by Lu Jingtang. "You've had a stroke from high blood pressure, and you're still smoking?"
"So what? If you leave me, I'll have nothing left to live for. There's no reason to continue living." Bo Yanli said dejectedly, "It's just right for me to smoke to death."
He took another deep drag and then coughed violently.
"The Bo family motto says that cigarettes are for the woman you love. If you love her, you'll smoke for the rest of your life. But since you've made up your mind to leave me, this last pack of cigarettes is my farewell gift to you!"
Bo Yanli took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it on the ground with confidence.
Tan Mo took out her phone, took a picture, and zoomed in. "Wow! It's still a red center! These are the cigarettes my dad wouldn't smoke."
"Is that a cigarette? It's clearly Zhao Yun's blood."
Bo Yanli looked up to the sky and shouted, "My beloved woman, after I die, you must live a happy life!"
The balance in Zhao Yun's heart has completely tilted towards Bo Yanli.
What else can I blame him for?
So many years have passed, and I shouldn't be so obsessed with it. Besides, he loves me so much!
Previously, her son Lu Xingjian scolded her for being the best at washing underwear with a cold face. Zhao Yun didn’t understand this new internet term, so she looked it up online to find out what it meant.
“Washing underwear with a cold face” refers to people like her, right?
Zhao Yun once hated herself, but why couldn't she be so cruel? Why can't she live without men?
What a disappointment!
But Leng Lian has washed his underwear many times, so this time won’t be a big deal.
Then forgive him?
"Yanli!" Zhao Yun was so moved that tears streamed down her face. "I don't want you to die. I'll come back to you."
"Sister Yun? What about me? Who am I?" Lu Jingtang held her hand tighter.
But Zhao Yun now had infinite strength and pried open his bound fingers one by one.
Is the power of love really so great?
As his fingers were pried apart, Lu Jingtang's heart gradually sank to the bottom, feeling both painful and helpless.
Zhao Yun said, "Jingtang, I can only repay you in my next life. In this life, please help me and Yanli be together!"
She rushed to Bo Yanli, holding the soaked man, and choked out her tears, "Yanli, I'm back, you don't have to die!"
"Don't you know who I really love?"
"It's always you! Idiot!"
The three people at the foot of the mountain seemed to be experiencing life and death, separation, war and disease, and each of them was moved to tears.
Tan Mo, standing on the platform, had a cold expression on her face. "I don't understand. What are these three middle-aged and elderly people getting so excited about?"
"Looking at this, is Zhao Yun going to forgive Bo Yanli so easily?"
"Bo Yanli won over Zhao Yun by smoking in the rain?"
"Come on, that's rape, a heinous act against a woman's will. If you call the police, you'll go to jail!"
Tan Mo really couldn't help but let out a series of complaints.
She didn't expect that this was the Bo family's ancestral motto that Bo Yanli was talking about, smoking and kneeling down to confess loudly.
"I told you not to smoke and pollute the air." Tan Mo turned up the switch and directed the water pipe directly at Bo Yanli and Zhao Yun, the desperate couple.
The cigarette in Bo Yanli's hand went out with a crackling sound.
Zhao Yun still held him in her arms, and said with relief, "It seems that God has taken pity on us and couldn't bear to see us separated by the Yin and Yang. The rain has extinguished your cigarette."
Bo Yanli was thinking, "This prop team understands him so well. They know when it's going to rain and when it's going to stop. He values his life so much that he's already had a stroke. He definitely won't smoke again unless it's absolutely necessary. I'll have to give the prop team a raise when I get back!"
Bo Yanli threw the extinguished cigarette on the ground and responded, "Yeah, my luck has improved since you came back."
The two of them hugged each other tightly, like a reunited couple. Zhao Yun felt the rain gradually subside. "God really understands us. The rain has stopped again."
Just as I finished speaking, the rain suddenly got heavier, then stopped, continued, stopped, and continued, as if I had to urinate frequently and urgently.
Zhao Yun: “…”
Bo Yanli: "..."
Tan Mo was in a playful mood and started playing right away.
She originally thought that she would be able to see the famous scene of Bo Yanli and Zhao Yun chasing their wives with shouting and slapping, but she didn't expect it to be this disgusting Karami.
"We can reconcile this." It's more interesting to play in the water.
"No." Lu Xingjian climbed down the stairs, "We can't let them reconcile."
"What's the meaning?"
