Class 5 of Grade 12 was once again in uproar. Wang Xiaoyun didn’t know what had come over her to act so impulsively, but she found herself on the playground. With no one around and the scoundrel still in hot pursuit, it almost looked like she had intentionally arranged a private meeting. But since she was here, she decided to talk it out with him. She felt that all this mess started because of her own actions. If she hadn’t confronted Lin Feng alone about his misdeeds, none of the subsequent misunderstandings would have occurred, and Lin Feng wouldn’t have been targeted by Cao Nan, that scumbag. Perhaps none of the chaos that followed would have happened, and she wouldn’t have felt guilty enough to take him to her grandfather, who then mistakenly recognized him as her good ‘cousin,’ following her like a tail ever since. It was time to clear things up, or things would only get worse.
Standing with her arms crossed, Wang Xiaoyun coldly looked at Lin Feng as he approached, “Are you done yet? Let me tell you, Lin Feng, if you keep pestering me like this, you’ll only make people despise you! And that letter of guarantee, do you think all these antics are funny? Do you think you can get into Nanjing University just by talking about it? Hmph, you’re an idiot, a fool, do you know people only see you as an idiot?”
“…Cousin… Uh!” Seeing her murderous gaze, Lin Feng quickly changed his address, “Xiaoyun, why did you run here? Did you get my message about Zhu Tingting? You really should be concerned about her.”
“What about Zhu Tingting? Since when did you become so interested in her?” The mention of another girl’s name made Wang Xiaoyun’s anger flare up. In her mind, Lin Feng’s repeated inquiries about Zhu Tingting were definitely up to no good. Just because she kissed you once, you disgusting scoundrel, what are you plotting?
Lin Feng scratched his head in frustration. What’s gotten into this wild girl today? All I did was call you cousin a few times. Fine, if you don’t like it, I won’t call you that. Sensing her anger, Lin Feng decided to get to the point, “Last night, I saw Zhu Tingting. She was out in the middle of the night, at that kind of place.” Wang Xiaoyun was somewhat puzzled. Zhu Tingting and two other girls had taken leave the day before. The three of them were forced by Li Xiangdong to go home and bring their parents because they didn’t meet the standards in the mock exam. Zhu Tingting’s home was so far from the city; how could she possibly show up in the city at night? Hmm? This guy left without a word last night; where did he go? How did he run into Zhu Tingting? “Uh… I’m just guessing, not necessarily the truth. Last night, Zhu Tingting was beaten by a few drunk men in Weaving Girl Alley. I happened to pass by and chased those drunkards away. But she pretended not to know me and hurriedly ran into a small hairdresser’s by the roadside. It was quite strange.”
“Weaving Girl Alley? Does she have relatives there? Which street is Weaving Girl Alley on? I’ve never heard of this place. Why didn’t she fight back when she was being beaten? Are you sure it was her you saw?”
“Uh… Xiaoyun, you haven’t heard of Weaving Girl Alley? It’s the red-light district in Yushan City. Think about it, a girl appearing there late at night, could she be…”
“Be what?” While she hadn’t heard of Weaving Girl Alley, Wang Xiaoyun understood well what a red-light district implied. However, Tingting was such an innocent girl; how could she possibly be working in such a place? Besides, she had just gone home to bring her parents because she didn’t meet Li Xiangdong’s requirements in the mock exam. It couldn’t possibly be her. But you, this despicable rogue, left without a word and went to such a place in the middle of the night, wasting my grandfather’s concern for you! Hmph, can’t steal women’s underwear from decent homes anymore, so you go to such a sordid place to act? Pervert! Filthy! Shameless! Disgusting! …
P.S.: The word count is about to drop off the list at 200,000 words, sob sob, I don’t know what list I’ll be on next, feeling anxious… Another P.S.: How can such a pure term like ‘red-light district’ be censored?
64. Unexpected Encounter
Wang Xiaoyun instinctively stepped back, increasingly finding Lin Feng irritating. Lin Feng was unaware that Wang Xiaoyun’s mind was in turmoil, almost wishing to whip and interrogate him on the spot. He was still cautiously making guesses, fearing that his words might unjustly tarnish Zhu Tingting’s innocence. He thought to himself, if he had mistaken the person, this misunderstanding would be quite a blunder: “Working in such a street-side hairdresser’s, she wouldn’t just be a shampoo girl, right? Could she be there because her family needs money, so she… became a prostitute!”
“A prostitute?”
“Uh… that is, doing that kind of… that kind of flesh trade.”
“Oh, didn’t you go into the shop to check on the business and confirm it with Tingting in person?”
“Hey, what do you mean by that? Am I, Lin Feng, that kind of casual person?”
“Oh, so you left my house without a word in the middle of the night, took a detour to such a place, just to prove you’re not a casual person? But you’re right, because when you’re casual, you’re not even human!”
“I, I, I got lost last night!”
“Lost? Hmph…” Wang Xiaoyun glared at him, clearly not believing his excuse of being lost. Yushan City is so small; how could a local get lost unless they were insane or extremely foolish?
“I was lost, really…”
“Enough with the excuses!” Wang Xiaoyun snapped, “Anyway, where you want to go is your freedom, what you want to do is your right, but I’m telling you, Lin Feng, please don’t come to my house anymore; you’re not welcome!” With that, Wang Xiaoyun turned and left, leaving Lin Feng standing there in shock. What’s this all about? Wang Xiaoyun, you can hit me or scold me, but why tarnish my innocence without reason? Is it wrong to care about a classmate? This is truly baffling! This woman, why has she suddenly changed today, targeting me at every turn!
