Jason was taken aback: "I didn’t an it like that... just, what if those people are sick? I’m just worried about you."
"It’s my business, not yours to worry about! Just take care of yourself!" She stood up, turned around, and went back to her room, slamming the door hard!
Jason looked baffled: "What’s wrong with her?"
Mu Yiliang gave a wry smile.
She could vaguely sense Xiao Qi’s thoughts, but... perhaps Xiao Qi wouldn’t want her to explain things to Jason...
"It’s fine, I’ll go check on her." Mu Yiliang shook her head gently, offering no explanation, and instead went into Xiao Qi’s room.
The room was pitch black. Mu Yiliang turned on the light, seeing Xiao Qi lying on her back on the bed, staring at the ceiling with no expression, her eyes slightly red.
"Did he confess to you?" Xiao Qi casually sat up and asked her.
Mu Yiliang hesitated for a mont: "Xiao Qi, you know, I with Jason..."
"You don’t need to worry about ." Xiao Qi laughed self-mockingly, "I never had any fantasies anyway."
"There’s absolutely no possibility between Jason and ." Mu Yiliang sighed lightly, "To , he has long been like family."
Xiao Qi was silent for a mont, then suddenly took out a cigarette, lit it skillfully, and took a deep drag: "Don’t speak so definitively, I’m an example. That fool, I also thought I could never like him, but damn, now it’s happened, it turns out I’m the real fool!"
"Don’t say that about yourself." Mu Yiliang felt increasingly saddened, walked over and took the cigarette from her hand, "The Xiao Qi I know has never feared anything, there’s no man you can’t conquer, so what’s Jason?"
Xiao Qi chuckled, reaching out to hug Mu Yiliang’s waist: "Mu, I don’t have a chance anymore."
"How co?" Mu Yiliang stroked her curly hair.
"I once read in a book that in this patriarchal society, won can’t play around." She laughed with so self-loathing, "No matter how reckless n play, they can always stop and still receive praise for reforming, but won can’t. Once won play, they can only continue playing their entire lives, never able to return to being virtuous wives. I didn’t believe it before, so I was carefree, but now, I finally understand, this damn thing is really true! Challenging the societal norms cos with a price."
"That’s not true!" Mu Yiliang’s heart ached, and she smiled to comfort her, "I still rember, a couple of years ago, there was a rich kid crying and screaming to marry you, and last year there was a young guy wanting to elope with you! Didn’t they also know your lifestyle? But they didn’t mind!"
"Tch... why do you even rember these things?" Xiao Qi’s tone was disdainful, but her face looked a little better, "There are always so n who get headstrong, but if I really married them, they would probably regret it within two years!"
At this point, her tone beca increasingly downcast: "Besides, although Jason has never said it, I know he doesn’t approve of hanging out at clubs and sleeping with different n every day... He probably thinks I’m no different from a whore, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Yiliang frowned, "Jason doesn’t approve simply because he cares about you. This lifestyle might seem unhealthy to most people, but that doesn’t an he despises you!"
