Chapter 60 Complicated
Zhang Gui suddenly roared and let it all out. Then the woman pushed him away and slipped into the blanket. Zhang Gui was surprised. He quietly put up his pants. Then the woman snorted, “You didn’t call lately. I saw you with a woman the other night. Do you think I didn’t know? She’s more beautiful and elegant than … I’m just a whore. You have reasons to despise .”
Zhang Gui yelled, “Yingzi, what the hell are you talking about?”
Xiao Bing would be surprised if he saw Zhang Gui’s face. Because the insane indignation and love on this short, ugly coward’s face was quite conspicuous.
“I t you when I was 28 and you were just 22. You were the woman of my life since that night! I’ve been working hard every day, trying to make enough money to save you! Maybe I’m a useless man, but I still have my conscience. You’ve always been good to . I rember that. I’m not an ungrateful person!”
“Just stop…” Yingzi cried and her makeup ｗas ruined.
Zhang Gui slipped into the blanket as well and put Yingzi in his arms. Though he was a short man, everything he did at this mont seed to be big.
Zhang Gui seed to be about to cry, “You have been by my side all these years. Others hate because I’m short and hideous. But you’re different. You’ve always been kind and gentle to be. You’re more like my wife though we’re not married. You are perfunctory when you’re with other n. But you’re true to . How can I ignore that?”
Zhang Gui sobbed while speaking, “But I’m just a total loser. I could have saved you from Qiang Zi if I was not that useless, so you don’t have to work for him anymore… I thought of running away with you. But these monsters will never give us a quick death if we don’t make it…”
“Stop saying that. Just stop.” Ying Zi burst into a flood of tears, “It’s not your fault… I’m sorry. I was just being unreasonable. I beca yours for the rest of my life since that night four years ago. Maybe it is because I’m stressed out lately and I think too much… I thought I was not worthy of you and you would cast aside.”
“Don’t ever think that.” Zhang Gui held Yingzi in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, “You’re the only woman who isn’t disgusted with this ugly man. It is that is not worthy of you. I know people talk behind our backs whenever we walk on the streets. They all sneered at you for being with such an ugly man. They have no fucking idea who doesn’t deserve whom!”
“Please… Stop saying that. When you have enough money to save from Qiangzi, I’ll marry you and be a true wife to you. Okay?”
“That would be a dream co true.” Zhang Gui’s eyes shined with deep feelings while he tightly held her in his arms. “It’s your birthday a week from today. I’ll give you a big surprise on that day. You will never forget it…”
A week… He still had a week to do that.
In the next two days, Xiao Bing kept searching with Yezi when he was done with work. But he had not seen Zhu Liya since that night. So he gradually forgot about what happened that night.
Su Xiaoxiao finally caught up with her study schedule, but she still asked Xiao Bing to help her with her problems, which made Xiao Bing very impressed with her passion for studying. So he patiently helped her with studying. The day her mother Li Chunlan could get discharged was also approaching.
On the third day, after Xiao Bing said goodbye to Xiaoxiao at the gate of the campus, he coincidently saw Zhu Liya coming his way. As he was thinking about how to avoid her, he noticed that she seed to be flurried after seeing him. She suddenly turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
“What happened?”
Xiao Bing was confused and he ran after her out of curiosity. He shouted while he was near her, “Liya!”
Zhu Liya had to stop. Xiao Bing stood in front of her and saw her wearing big black sunglasses. She turned her head when she saw him. “Is this woman mad at ? Because I took advantage of her that night? Or is she mad because I didn’t take enough advantage of her?”
Xiao Bing began to regret catching her up. He felt uneasy when he saw her after that night.
But Xiao Bing was an experienced man. He was not that nervous since he was used to being surrounded by girls when he was in Beijing. But Yezi was an exception. Xiao Bing restored his confidence instantly and smiled, “Liya, why did you turn your back to without saying hello?”
“Well… Xiao… Xiao Bing, I suddenly rembered that I have sothing to do. I need to go ho.”
“Alright then, go on with your business. I should go to the noodle house.”
“Okay. I’ll talk to you next ti.”
“See you next ti.”
Xiao Bing inwardly laughed because her original direction was towards her ho. And yet she turned around and was going in the opposite direction, saying she was going ho… But Xiao Bing did not point it out to her. But when he brushed against her, he noticed the faint bruise under her sunglasses…
While Xiao Bing wanted to take a closer look, she was already gone. Xiao Bing felt uneasy when thinking about the bruise on her flurried face. How co it appeared on that pretty face? He could only think of one possibility… But it was their own business. Xiao Bing had nothing to do with it. He suppressed his uneasiness and left.
When he arrived at the door of the noodle house, Xiao Bing found that Dumbass was standing on the street and giggling while saying to strangers, “Co in and have a taste of our delicious noodles.”
The strangers all looked him up and down, but no one really listened to him. He was not a pretty girl, so nearly nobody paid attention to him or his words.
Xiao Bing found it funny and weird that Dumbass had beco a peddler on the street.
Dumbass scratched his head out of embarrassnt when Xiao Bing approached.
“You’re not a whore. The noodle house doesn’t need you to solicit custors. Co on, let’s go.”
“No.” Dumbass was stubborn. “Sister Hong said that I look innocent and that people will believe what I say. The business will get better if I suggest them to co to our noodle house.”
Xiao Bing held back a laugh and said, “She really said that?”
“Yes… And she said I’m handso.”
Xiao Bing sized him up and shook his head, “Then she must be blind.”
“She’s not blind. She’s just a little fat.”
Xiao Bing found it hard to make sense of it, so he ignored him and went into the noodle house. There were not many custors since it was still early. Noticing that Li Hong and Zhang Jing were talking while sitting on chairs, Xiao Bing approached them and asked, “Sister Hong, why did you tell Dumbass to solicit costurs on the street?”
Looking up, Li Hong took a glimpse of him and smiled, “Boss, don’t you think he’s really cute? He might really bring us lots of custors.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “You two just had a heated argunt yesterday and now you are concerned with custors. Don’t try to fool .”
At that mont, Wang Guifang walked out from the kitchen with a smile on her face, “Lil Bing, don’t listen to her nonsense. Just call that silly boy back. She’s just mad at him for calling her a little fat. That’s why she talked Dumbass into it. How embarrassing it must be.”
Li Hong stuck her tongue out and deliberately snorted while Zhang Jing was bending over the table, smiling. Xiao Bing put up a bitter smile and pointed at Li Hong, “You only know how to fool him? Now go and call him in.”
Li Hong had been obedient to him since Xiao Bing protected her that day. After Xiao Bing said it, she reluctantly stood up and grumbled, “Alright. I don’t think he’s stupid. Instead, he’s blind.”
Zhang Jing burst into laughter after Li Hong walked out, “She did beco fat these days. But Dumbass is really dumb. No girl on earth likes to be called ‘fat'”.
“But that doesn’t an you can humiliate him. Lucky for you he’s a thoughtless boy. Don’t fool him like that again!”
Zhang Jing answered while chuckling, “I know now. We were just ssing with him because we are good friends. Though sotis Li Hong kicks him around, she will be the first one to protect him if he gets bullied.”
Following Li Hong, Dumbass soon walked into the noodle house. Seemingly unreconciled, “She said that I’m handso. This face would be wasted if I ca back without any custors.”
All of them burst into laughter upon hearing it, including Li Hong. But Dumbass still stood there, like a confused fool.
Then Xiao Bing said to Wang Guifang, “Tomorrow is a weekend, instead of coming here, Yezi and I decided to continue our search during the two days.”
“That’s fine. We can handle it. We will tell the custors that we won’t make the exclusive noodles in the weekend.”
“Okay!”
In the evening, Xiao Bing t another familiar person on his way ho. It was the woman with heavy makeup. Xiao Bing saw her in Zhang Gui’s arms the other night. As a mber of Dragon Teeth, Xiao Bing recognized her though he only t her once. Xiao Bing did not pay too much attention to her. However, suddenly an old woman who was not very far from him shouted, “Yingzi, you have a guest to serve.”
“Okay!” answered the woman with heavy makeup. Then she trotted towards the old woman.
“So her na is Yingzi and she’s a whore, just as I thought…” Xiao Bing thought to himself.
