Chapter 278: The Naive One
Madam Jing’s attitude towards changed imdiately. She tugged my hands. “Nanxing, then you can’t move away! With you around, the two of them won’t dare to do anything!”
I smiled and nodded. I accompanied her to dinner. I realized that Madam Jing was extrely graceful and elegant. Old Master Jing had protected her well. She was actually very smart but she was naive and out of touch with real society. Basically, she lived in the world built for her by her husband and son. In this world, there was only a family of three.
Most importantly, she had no interest in going out at all. She was not interested in the outside world. She was like a canary in a cage.
Even if the cage door opened, she would not fly away. Because it would an death. Rather than face the storm of the outside world, she would stay to enjoy the safety of confinent.
In a way, Madam Jing was living a unique yet risky life. For example, Ye Qian would not dare to swap lives with Madam Jing. This was because Ye Qian trusted no one but herself. Questions like, what if my owner doesn’t love anymore; what if my cage gets broken; what if I was so content that I lost my ability to survive would crowd Ye Qian’s mind.
However, Madam Jing didn’t have that worry. She believed in love and she believed in her charm. And her belief was founded because Old Master Jing had loved her dearly over the years.
The two won were extres of each other.
I sat down to chat with Madam Jing. Surprisingly, we got along pretty well… so well that I was ashad to have lied to her. So I tried my best to accompany her. Madam Jing had love and luxury but she was undoubtedly lonely. Even her son didn’t have the ti or patience to accompany her. Before she left, she was reluctant to part with .
“Nanxing, can you co to accompany sotis?” She asked sadly.
“Of course, I will co to look for you after school. Madam Jing, you can co to my house too. We can go to the malls or the park together.” I was as patient as I would be to a child.
She smiled so brightly. “We don’t need to go out. You should just co to my house and we can chat more often.”
The guilt pressed on so hard. “Madam, I-I…”
I couldn’t bring myself to admit it. Perhaps I should wait until she had gotten to know better first.
She blinked her eyes innocently at . “Actually you what?”
I gritted my teeth. “Actually I have lied to you!”
I looked at her crystal clear eyes and I couldn’t lie to her anymore.
She smiled and bent down to hold my hand. She asked, “Then, can you co to lie to every day?”
I… A flocks of crow flew past . I was silent.
Madam Jing shook my hands. “Nanxing, you are a very interesting person. I quite like you. I believe your lies so you can co to lie to every day. I like to listen to your lies.”
“But you should be mad that I’ve lied to you!” I said numbly. My brain had stopped working.
“Why should I be mad? I was happy when you lied to . You have done your best to co up with the lies. Since you only did what you believe is best for , then there’s no reason for to be mad at you.” She patted my hands. “So you have to co to lie to more often.”
I looked at her and finally smiled. “Okay, I will co for dinner tomorrow night and I will tell you a love story and there will be no more lies. Perhaps so embellishnts here and there, is that okay?”
She nodded with a smile.
Only then did I realize I was the naive one. The real geniuses are apparent fools.
