( ) An Jingfeng looked around at the shops and thought about what gift he could give to that little girl Zhenzhen. He then sidled up between Xiao Anhe and Xu Moran and said, "Hey, my mom is right. You can't lie. I really didn't tell the truth just now. Actually, I want to go to the city because my first love is there. After all these years, I've always wanted to see her, and hopefully... I hope... we can rekindle our romance."
"Why be so subtle?" Xiao Anhe retorted, his tone quite impolite. "Just say you're still hung up on that old gun you never fired. What's with all this talk about rekindling your romance? You think you can cover up your shady secret by being so polite?"
An Jingfeng was heartbroken. Looking into Xiao Anhe's eyes, he thought, "Brother, you're supposed to be my brother. You can't side with outsiders. Why are you still trying to screw me over? You know I've never been in a relationship before, so where did this 'first love' come from?"
Xu Moran could tell from An Jingfeng's expression that he was uncomfortable, and assumed that he was provoked by Xiao Anhe's blunt words. She apologized to him on Xiao Anhe's behalf, "I'm really sorry, he's just a very straightforward person."
It would have been better if Xu Moran hadn't offered any comfort; the moment he did, An Jingfeng's expression became even uglier than before.
Why is this happening?
In An Jingfeng's view, Xu Moran's apology confirmed that he wanted to go to the city just to rekindle his old flame. What kind of logic is that?
When An Jingfeng had nothing to say and could only sigh, he couldn't help but reflect on his actions. He realized that it must have been because he had said the wrong thing that made Xu Moran's attempt to comfort him worse.
An Jingfeng has experienced firsthand what it means to lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot. No way, he absolutely cannot admit to this unfounded old accusation, otherwise, once Xu Moran finds out that he slept with her best friend, her whispers in her ear will be no less than a category 12 typhoon.
He shouldn't even think about getting a good job like mining in Africa; Xiao Anhe might just listen to Xu Moran's pillow talk and throw him into the Pacific Ocean.
Even though he can swim, he certainly wouldn't survive if thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
He wasn't afraid of being swallowed whole by a shark; he was afraid the shark would treat him like a peanut to eat with alcohol, crunching him up in its mouth.
Therefore, in order to save his life even after his affair with Jiang Moli is exposed, and at least get a good job like mining in Africa, he decided to start paving the way for his self-rescue now.
After thinking for a moment, he denied what Xiao Anhe had just said, "I'm going to the city not to fight some old grudge."
After repeating the key words Xiao Anhe mentioned, he really wanted to kneel down before Xiao Anhe. Was this the same Xiao Anhe who had known and followed him for many years, who was always taciturn and disdainful of jokes, who said such vivid words?
It seems that the power of love is indeed great, great enough to change a person.
Xu Moran stopped Xiao Anhe from speaking with a look. She looked at An Jingfeng and said very seriously, "We misspoke just now. Don't take it to heart. You went to the city just to see your first love."
Originally, the question of why An Jingfeng also wanted to go to the city had already been perfectly resolved, but Xiao Anhe insisted on adding to what Xu Moran had said, "Ranran, what you said may not be correct, because first love can be either a girlfriend or a boyfriend."
Xu Moran, "..."
Once she had calmed down, she scolded Xiao Anhe in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense."
Although she agreed with Xiao Anhe's statement in her heart, after all, An Jingfeng was still alive, and she could no longer make baseless claims.
Xiao Anhe nodded happily, "Okay, Ranran, I'll listen to you."
Xu Moran realized that no matter how big a mistake Xu Ye made, and no matter whether he felt he had made a mistake or not, his attitude of admitting his mistakes was always so good.
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. When he was in a good mood, Xu Mo could not vent his anger, no matter how furious he was.
An Jingfeng felt that he had finally found a sense of existence, but was once again ignored as if he were air. Coupled with the trap set by Xiao Anhe's previous words, he felt that he had suffered ten thousand points of damage.
He was somewhat clever; he knew that if he didn't want to be tricked by Xiao Anhe any longer, he had to get Xu Moran to agree to rent his car to go to the city.
There are many ways, but the most effective one... He thought about it for a while and actually came up with one.
The idea he came up with wasn't his original creation; the inspiration came from the story he told Xiao Zhenzhen the night before. He wanted to fabricate a tragic story, the more tragic the better, to gain Xu Moran's sympathy.
Xu Moran is a kind-hearted person; he had already seen through it long ago.
He couldn't spend too much time thinking about the tragic and heartbreaking stories. Perhaps it was because he had been telling too many stories to Zhenzhen lately. He could only pick out a little bit of each story, and as soon as his eyes rolled around, he would have a story to tell.
“Miss Ran,” An Jingfeng choked up, “Please have pity on me. My grandfather passed away from illness before my grandmother was pregnant with my father. I’ve never met him in my life. Just yesterday, I dreamt of him. He said he missed me too. When I woke up, I felt that it must be because my grandfather missed me so much that he appeared to me in my dream. My grandfather’s ashes are buried in the city and I didn’t bring them back to B City. I wanted to go to the city to see him. I thought it would be too troublesome to take a plane or high-speed train, and I couldn’t bring many things with me, so I thought I would drive myself. But going alone would be expensive in terms of gas and tolls. I just heard that you were also going to the city, so I thought I would carpool with you. We could split the gas cost, which would save money for both of you. I didn’t expect that my concealment would cause you to misunderstand.”
