Chapter 221 You and Qin Cheng?
"You and Qin Cheng?" Rong Mei asked tentatively, keeping her gossipy nature.
Unfortunately, Kang Xiangtong obviously couldn't understand her ambiguous look and tone, and asked in confusion, "Huh? What's wrong between me and Qin Cheng?"
Rong Mei changed her approach, "Have you and Qin Cheng met recently?"
Kang Xiangtong didn't think much about it and told Rong Mei truthfully, "Yes, I have seen him. He went to his third uncle's house on New Year's Day and invited me to play with fireworks and set off firecrackers."
Their family lived in the same compound as Qin Cheng's third uncle's family, so when Qin Cheng said he would take her to set off firecrackers after dinner, Kang Xiangtong didn't think much about it. After all, her brother Kang Botao couldn't wait for the New Year's Eve dinner to end, and was called out by his playmates in the same compound to set off firecrackers.
"Take you to play with fireworks?" Rong Mei repeated it, and the gossip flavor in it seemed to be even stronger.
I really didn't expect Qin Cheng to be so fast and attack the "little white rabbit" so quickly.
Based on her understanding of Qin Cheng, especially when it comes to lesbians, Qin Cheng has always been the type who doesn't care about anything, or he simply doesn't care about the other person's thoughts, so he is never against blind dates, but he is not keen on them either.
He was able to find a roundabout way to trick Kang Xiangtong, the "little white rabbit", out in the middle of the night. Isn't that a determined person?
She once thought that if something really happened between the two of them, the one who would get hurt would definitely be Kang Xiangtong, the little white rabbit. For a "prodigal son" like Qin Cheng who was so unstable, Kang Xiangtong would be no match at all.
Now it seems that she had completely misjudged him. Kang Xiangtong, this stupid "little white rabbit", would be Qin Cheng's nemesis, and a complete nemesis.
But this way she can have a good show, right?
Thinking of how Qin Cheng would also charge forward for love, the molecules in Rong Mei's blood became more active. She really wanted to see Qin Cheng being humiliated.
Kang Xiangtong nodded heavily, "Yes, setting off firecrackers, the kind that are big and loud, is so much fun, Rongrong, did you play during the Chinese New Year?"
Rong Mei smiled, "Yes, I played with Dabao. But I really couldn't tell. Qin Cheng looks like a big guy. I didn't expect him to be so childish and imitate a little boy to set off firecrackers."
While answering the question, I also criticized someone.
Kang Xiangtong seemed to have found a soulmate, as if she was the only one who understood me best. "Right, you think so too, right, Rongrong? You don't know, I also think that setting off firecrackers is something that only little kids like Kang Botao would do. It's too childish. You don't know, I didn't want to go when he first asked me to go. If he hadn't said that we could go to the video hall to watch a movie after setting off the firecrackers, I wouldn't have gone with him."
"Did you also go to the video hall to watch a movie?" Rong Mei grasped the key point again.
Kang Xiangtong was still as heartless as ever. "Yeah, that was the only video parlor in the city that was still open. When we went there, there were a lot more people there. But Qin Cheng knew the owner of that video parlor, so he reserved seats in the middle of the first row for us."
Rong Mei sighed in her heart. Don't mention it. Once Qin Cheng is in love, he still has a certain romantic cell in pursuing lesbians. It's just a pity that he met Kang Xiangtong, who has no love brain at all.
In fact, it’s not that Kang Xiangtong doesn’t have a love brain, but her love brain for Qin Cheng had been strangled in the cradle by Rong Mei on the day she first came to the family compound for a meal.
Kang Xiangtong didn't care at all. Suddenly, she thought of another thing. "By the way, Rongrong, do you still remember Cui Mengmeng?"
"Cui Mengmeng?" Rong Mei murmured subconsciously and went over the person's information in detail in her mind.
Seeing Rong Mei frowning, Kang Xiangtong felt uneasy and couldn't hide the shock in her eyes. She swallowed and said in disbelief, "No way, Rongrong, you are too bold, bigger than the sea."
"How can it be bigger than the sea?" Rong Mei was amused by Kang Xiangtong's description.
Kang Xiangtong pouted and shook her head, "No matter what, we were love rivals in the past. I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect you really didn't take it to heart. Your heart is bigger than the sea."
Rong Mei couldn't help but poked Kang Xiangtong's forehead and said with a smile, "Who told you that I don't remember her? Tell me, what happened to her? Is there something wrong? Is it related to me?"
"She came to see me twice. She knew that you and I got along well, so she came to me because she couldn't see you. She hoped that I could help her ask you out so that you could meet her alone..."
Seeing that Rong Mei had already guessed that this matter was related to her, Kang Xiangtong told Rong Mei the whole story frankly.
At this point, afraid that Rong Mei might misunderstand him, he quickly extended three fingers on his right hand, "But I promise that I will always stand by your side, so I rejected it without even considering it."
As he spoke, he observed Rong Mei's expression and found that there was no change in her expression. The corners of her mouth were still smiling. Then he lowered his head and continued, "But, she came to me again after the Chinese New Year and said that she really had something important to talk to you about. I wanted to refuse, but she said, she said that she was not here to compete with you for Deputy Head Zhou. She knew that she and Deputy Head Zhou were no longer possible, so she has already started a blind date..."
"She has something very important to tell you. It concerns the safety of Deputy Head Zhou. After hearing this, I dare not make a decision casually. I thought I would ask for your opinion first. However, before coming here, I also asked the people in the group, and Cui Mengmeng really went on a blind date."
Rong Mei did not give an immediate reply after hearing Kang Xiangtong's words. Instead, she pondered for a while and said, "Then go back and tell her that the meeting will be at 10 a.m. this Saturday at the same western restaurant we went to last time in the city."
Although she didn't know why Cui Mengmeng wanted to see her, her sixth sense told her that she should meet him. It felt like there was a mysterious force pulling her, making her unable to ignore the request for a meeting.
Whenever she encounters something that makes her hesitant, she always chooses to trust her first instinct without hesitation.
This intuition is not groundless, but an instinctive reaction formed by her years of life experience and keen insight into human nature. In this world full of uncertainty, the first intuition can often help her make decisions quickly and avoid excessive thinking and entanglement. And this time, facing Cui Mengmeng's invitation, her first intuition told her that this was an opportunity she could not miss.
Kang Xiangtong stayed until the sun set. Seeing that Zhou Nanxu had not yet returned from get off work, she really wanted to have a meal here before leaving, but she had other things to do in the group, and she didn't know how long it would take Zhou Nanxu to get off work, so she could only say goodbye to Rong Mei reluctantly.
Less than five minutes after Rong Mei sent Kang Xiangtong out, Zhou Nanxu came back from get off work.
"What a coincidence?"
Zhou Nanxu changed his shoes, put them in the shoe cabinet, and walked towards the toilet. As he walked, he asked, "What's so unfortunate?"
Rong Mei collected the clothes hanging on the balcony and replied, "Xiangtong wanted to eat the food you cooked. Seeing that you hadn't come back yet, you came back now. You just left a while ago."
After Zhou Nanxu washed his hands, he dried them with a towel, turned around and went back into the kitchen. "Oh, this, Qin Cheng and I just ran into her at the gate of the compound when we came back. Qin Cheng drove her back to the art troupe."
"Huh, what a coincidence?" Rong Mei couldn't help but sigh. Qin Cheng's luck was really good. He could even take advantage of this "leak".
Zhou Nanxu didn't think much about it, rolled up his sleeves, and started to prepare dinner. "This is quite normal. It's almost time for us to get off work. It's not a coincidence."
Rong Mei walked to the kitchen door, half leaning against the door frame, and asked casually, "Didn't you see?"
She didn't believe that Zhou Nanxu would be as naive as Kang Xiangtong and unable to see Qin Cheng's evil intentions.
Zhou Nanxu paused for a moment, then glanced at Rong Mei with a smile on his face, "I figured it out, but this was indeed a coincidence, not something Qin Cheng deliberately created."
Rong Mei walked to the man's side, leaned on the table, and looked directly into Zhou Nanxu's eyes. She looked at him with a half-smile and said, "I knew it, how could our Deputy Head Zhou, who is so smart, not be able to see such a thing clearly, right?"
"Hmm?" Zhou Nanxu clearly heard the suggestive tone from his wife's voice. He hummed cautiously and chose not to answer.
Based on his past experience with his wife, he knew that he had to be very careful at this time, otherwise he would accidentally make his wife angry.
Rong Mei glanced at the man and asked, "Do you still remember Cui Mengmeng?"
Zhou Nanxu:.........He said that his feeling was correct.
He nodded honestly, but still didn't say another word.
Rong Mei didn't say anything else. She turned around and walked out. She took the thermos from the table and poured herself a glass of water. Then she walked back in with the glass.
The water was warm, so she took a sip.
Zhou Nanxu just kept staring at her, waiting for her next words.
Fortunately, Rong Mei didn't intend to torture him mentally anymore, and she said directly, "She asked Xiang Tong to meet me at 10 am on Saturday."
After saying that, he turned his gaze towards Zhou Nanxu, paying attention to every subtle expression on his face.
Zhou Nanxu frowned, but finally asked, "What does she want you to do?"
Rong Mei snorted, her tone somewhat sour, "Then I don't know about your own romantic debts..."
But before she could finish her words, Zhou Nanxu interrupted her hastily, "Rong Mei, I didn't!"
Then, with a look of grievance in his eyes and tone, he said, "You are the only one in my heart from the beginning to the end. Although I know that I can't just say this, I need to take actual actions, but I really don't have any romantic debts. I have never provoked any lesbians other than you."
He explained to Rong Mei anxiously, "Yes, I admit that I have heard from others more than once that Comrade Cui Mengmeng has feelings for me, and many people always put us together. Before this, I always believed that rumors stop at the wise, and I was too lazy to explain to others, but now I really don't want you to have any misunderstandings about me, and I don't want these misunderstandings to affect the relationship between us. You are different to me, and you are different from others. Although I know you have your own judgment, I also want to explain to you..."
Rong Mei's pair of bright blue eyes stared straight at Zhou Nanxu's opening and closing mouth until the curve at the corners of his mouth became bigger and bigger.
Of course she knew that there was no romantic debt, but she just felt a little jealous and wanted to say something bad to someone.
However, she was very satisfied with the man's attitude. At least he had a mouth and knew to explain to her instead of letting her think whatever she wanted. He could even say some sweet words to her.
There is a saying that goes, what a woman wants is always a man’s attitude, not whether the thing is right or wrong.
But before she could even close her lips, the man's next words froze her smile.
"There is one more thing I want to confess to you. When you went to Shenzhen, Comrade Cui Mengmeng and I met once, but Qin Cheng was present. Of course, Comrade Cui Mengmeng also spoke to me alone at the end."
Rong Mei put away her smile and her casual posture, and looked at the man calmly, "Then tell me, what did Comrade Cui Mengmeng tell you?"
"She confessed to me." Zhou Nanxu was honest and went straight to the point.
Rong Mei said nothing and continued to question with her eyes.
Zhou Nanxu added, "I clearly rejected her."
Rong Mei curled the corners of her mouth slightly and snorted silently. Isn't this nonsense? If she hadn't refused, would she still give the man the chance to stand in front of her now?
So this is the reason why Cui Mengmeng came to her? Because she was rejected by a man and wanted to get back at her? It's not that she thought too badly of him, but the facts of the previous two times proved that Cui Mengmeng just liked to come to her to seek a sense of existence.
It is undeniable that Comrade Cui Mengmeng is excellent.
However, as she said before, in front of her, she still felt that Rong Mei was better, and Cui Mengmeng was no match for her at all.
Of course, by the same token, Comrade Cui Mengmeng must have the same idea as her.
So, we are all strong, shouldn't we show some respect for each other? Just for this reason, we have to meet again.
However, she was a little curious about what Zhou Nanxu said to Cui Mengmeng that made her completely give up on him and start a blind date.
Rong Mei, like a model student, blinked her big eyes and asked the teacher a question eager to learn, "So, can you tell me how you rejected Comrade Cui Mengmeng?"
Zhou Nanxu pursed his lips and recalled the scene when he met Cui Mengmeng. "She said something very strange to me."
He is not a good storyteller, but he feels that what Cui Mengmeng tells him is a story.
Cui Mengmeng told him that she had been dreaming for so many years, a dream about him, that was his and her previous life. In the dream, he saved her when she wanted to commit suicide, and he told her that people should not be bound by unsatisfactory trivialities, should not be influenced by the words of others, should have thoughts and souls, not just feelings, not to mention feelings that are not worth investing in. As long as they are alive, they can start over and paint a beautiful future for themselves...
