Chapter 282: Friends’ Secret Talk
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was Xia Wei’s first time here, and Su Chu seemed to be more familiar with the way. It was obvious that she was a “repeated offender” who often came out to play behind Cai Wen’s back!
“Actually, that dress just now really suits you, Sister Wei. If I were you, 1 would buy it!” Su Chu mocked regretfully as she looked at Xia Wei’s impressive figure enviously.
Hearing this, Xia Wei looked at her calmly from the side, looking very speechless. “You want to buy everything. Should I book the entire mall for you? My feet are about to be crippled from walking. Can you feel sorry for the patient?”
“Tsk! What patient? You’re just lazy! Isn’t shopping the most effective way for us girls to relieve our unhappiness? I’m doing this for your own good. Look at your frown today. You look like an old lady in her seventies or eighties. Where’s your youthful vigor? Pull yourself together!”
Xia Wei ignored Su Chu’s nagging and found a chair in the aisle to sit down. She casually placed the bag in her hand at the side. This was only a tenth of their “trophy” on this shopping trip.
Seeing that her Sister Wei was ignoring her, Su Chu sighed helplessly. After thinking for a while, he still persuaded her softly, “Sister Wei, are you still angry with Brother Jian? Because of what happened yesterday?”
Hearing Su Chu mention someone she had been thinking about today, Xia Wei stopped massaging her legs. Then, she slowly looked up at her. “When did 1 say that I’m angry with Jian Tan? Why am I angry?” She asked curiously.
When Su Chu heard this, she seriously examined the expression on Xia Wei’s face. Seeing that the other party seemed to be very puzzled, she heaved a sigh of relief and slowly explained, “It’s best if you’re not angry! When the two of you came from the foot of Talent Mountain yesterday, the atmosphere was very strange and scary. The words ‘Don’t disturb me, in the cold war’ were written all over your faces. 1 was so frightened that I didn’t dare to talk to you!” “Brother Jian was also overboard yesterday. Why did he throw a tantrum at you the moment he returned to the camp? Even if he was worried about you and dissatisfied with you for going to such a dangerous place to save someone, he should have told you nicely. Why did he have to be so anxious?! Sister Wei, don’t worry. I’ll help you criticize Brother Jian the next time you meet him. He’s really going overboard!”
Su Chu’s ‘righteous words’ did not make Xia Wei heave a sigh of relief. Instead, it made her even more conflicted. She frowned and lowered her head. After a long silence, she said calmly, “But I think I went overboard. He even said yesterday that he did not blame me for going into the water to save the man.” As Xia Wei spoke, she looked up at Su Chu in confusion and asked humbly, “If he doesn’t blame me for that, why is he so angry? I kept trying to explain and talk to him yesterday, but he just didn’t want to talk to me. It seems like I really can’t coax him.”
Feeling that Sister Wei’s attitude towards Jian Tan was a little strange, Su Chu frowned and looked at her, as if she wanted to see through her worried eyes and see her true thoughts. “Sister Wei, what did you say? Do you mean that you’re trying to make Brother Jian happy? Why? Are you a couple? Don’t tell me you’re already with Brother Jian behind my back?”
At the thought of this possibility, Su Chu widened her eyes in disbelief and looked straight at her Sister Wei.
Seeing the speechlessness in Xia Wei’s eyes, Su Chu restrained her exaggerated thinking and explained, “You can’t blame me for misunderstanding. You were the one who said it so ambiguously! Tell me, why did you say something like ‘I really can’t coax him’ for no reason?”
Su Chu muttered. Seeing that Xia Wei was ignoring her again, she continued indignantly, “Besides, I don’t think Brother Jian is a difficult person to coax! He likes you so much. If you speak softer and don’t keep a distance from him, he won’t be able to stay cold to you anymore! Brother Jian is the person with the best temper I’ve ever seen. There must be something wrong with the person who makes him so angry!”
Xia Wei, who was a little shocked that Su Chu could see these things so clearly, was speechless.
“Who… Who told you that he likes me? Don’t spout nonsense. We’re just friends and colleagues.” Su Chu’s gaze made Xia Wei feel a little guilty. She glanced at Su Chu and slowly looked away.
Naturally, Su Chu could tell that Xia Wei was unnatural. She pursed her lips and continued sourly, “Stop denying it. I can tell! If Brother Jian doesn’t like you, my name will be written backwards from now on..”
