Chapter 277 - Implicit Emphasis
Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Implicit Emphasis
Zhu Danchen sat on the chair next to the bed with both hands on her thighs, waiting quietly like a student in the classroom. Seeing me who was leaning against the bed put down the documents in my hand, she nervously asked, “Xiao Chu, do you think this is okay?”
I glanced at Dong Xiaoye who was sitting at the end of the bed peeling apples. I didn’t expect that she was also waiting for my answer like Zhu Danchen. When our eyes met, we hurriedly looked away. ‘God damn it, this is so awkward.’
The words Sister Tiger said yesterday made it clear that she had obviously misunderstood my intention to donate. The most frightening thing was that she actually told me that she had a little ‘interest’ in a certain boar. I didn’t think that I was thinking too much, because I could smell the danger hidden in her words.
Sister Tiger has definitely misunderstood my intention, but I didn’t know how to explain it to her. I couldn’t just tell her that she was thinking too much and I was not interested in her, right? She was Sister Tiger, if she knew that she was thinking too much, it would be fine if she just laughed it off in embarrassment. What if she went mad and beat me up for causing her to think too much?
Of course, that was a joke. What I was really worried about was that she would stop being friends with me because of this. A girl’s self-esteem was not something that should be underestimated. Xiaoye’s pride was slightly similar to Chu Yuan, and I knew Chu Yuan’s character very well.
I needed to express my attitude in a tactful way, so that Sister Tiger could realize her misunderstanding.
“Xiao Chu?” Zhu Danchen called me again when he saw that I lowered my head, seemingly to think something.
“Oh,” I hurriedly stopped thinking and smiled, “Sister Danchen, I think I have made it clear last night that this money is donated to your elementary school. How you are going to spend it, where to spend it, you can allocate it yourself. You don’t need to write a plan report to me, and… I donated the money to you for three reasons. The first one is to help my friends, and the second one is to help those lovely children. The third one is, huh, it’s a completely selfish reason. If your school was gone, it would be very inconvenient to let Ku’er go to another school to study. So we are just helping each other out. There is no need to offer me a job in the school.”
Zhu Danchen actually arranged for me a nominal title of ‘admissions director’ at her school and offered me a basic salary of 1,200 yuan per month. It was obvious that she wanted to use this method to repay me.
“It’s not a nominal title,” Zhu Danchen smiled at me as she sorted out the files, “aren’t you out of work? And you didn’t dare to tell your family about it?…”
“Even then, I still didn’t plan to be a teacher. With my ability, I think I might ruin those children’s future. I still like to be a white-collar worker, working from 9 to 5. That kind of life is much easier,” I declined Zhu Danchen’s kindness, and frowned at Dong Xiaoye, “Is this what you said about that I would not spend that money for nothing? Xiaoye, do you think that I am a kind of person that will only help other people when there is a reward?”
“You-” when Dong Xiaoye heard this, her face flushed suddenly. She suddenly raised the fruit knife in embarrassment, seemingly wanting to stab me, “Who said I was referring to this? !”
I subconsciously pulled out the pillow from behind to defend myself and asked, “Then what were you referring to?”
“You… what I was referring to is none of your business! Can’t I say it as a joke?!” Dong Xiaoye stuffed the apple into my mouth fiercely, and said angrily, “Eat your apple! You stupid boar!”
I took a bite at the apple with difficulty and only then was I able to get the rest of the apple out of my mouth. When I looked at Dong Xiaoye again, she turned around and took out an orange. While peeling it, she muttered to herself in a low voice, “you, stupid stupid boar, so stupid, but I am also so stupid…”
Zhu Danchen looked at Dong Xiaoye for a second, and then looked at me. My heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, and my face instantly turned red inexplicably. Was it because Dong Xiaoye was acting weird, that was why I acted this way?
It was undeniable that the inexplicable words Dong Xiaoye said last night made us acting a little strange today. That kind of feeling could only be described by the word “weird”.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want it. I will save the monthly salary for you. When you get married in the future, and if your wife doesn’t give you any pocket money, you can always use this money. Hehe,” Zhu Danchen pretended to be mysterious and leaned forward. She smiled at me and said, “Let me tell you, Xiao Chu, I also save Dong Dong’s salary for her. There are already more than 20,000 yuan…”
“Zhu Danchen!” Dong Xiaoye’s hand suddenly clenched into a fist, almost crumbling the orange with her hand. He interrupted Zhu Danchen, and said, “Why are you telling him about this?”
“I was just joking. What are you so afraid of?” Zhu Danchen teased, “Anyway, you don’t plan to marry Xiao Chu in the future, why do you need to hide this from him?”
These words made Dong Xiaoye’s and my face turned red at the same time. She raised her voice in embarrassment and said angrily, “Only a fool would like him. Sister Danchen. It is not like you don’t know about my elder sister…”
After this was said, not only Zhu Danchen was dazed, but Dong Xiaoye also stopped suddenly. I remembered that Dong Xiaoye said that her elder sister ran away from home fifteen years ago because of a man. Could it be that man was also a womanizer? Hmm… It seemed like using the word “also” was a bit inappropriate. After all, I was not a womanizer, right?
Zhu Danchen leaned forward and held Dong Xiaoye’s hands, looking at her lovingly like a sister, and whispered, “Xiaoye…”
“I’m fine…” Dong Xiaoye shook her head, and then glanced at me, her eyes calm and indifferent, but there was also a faint of…disgust? That expression only appeared for a split second. She coldly snorted, “What I look down on most is the man who likes to deceive women. While being with Liusu, you still hanker after other women, Chu Nan you are a good person, but you are not a good man.”
I didn’t know if Dong Xiaoye was trying to clarify something to Zhu Danchen with this attitude, but… Was it really okay to give such a comment to the great benefactor who had just donated one and a half million to you? I felt like I had been wronged.
When did I hanker after other women? I only just couldn’t figure out how to handle my relationship with Mo Fei. But Liusu also knew about that. When we were still buddies, she knew that I liked Mo Fei, and at that time, she also supported me!
However, facing Dong Xiaoye who caught Mo Fei kissing me with her own eyes, I really couldn’t argue with her about this issue. I could only laugh awkwardly.
“Nan Nan, I’ve brought you the food!”
The atmosphere in the room was very heavy. My dear Liusu was like an angel descending from the sky, waving her wings and blowing away the damn stiff air, “Sister Xiaoye, you are here too. Thank you for taking care of this idiot every day. I made some ribs rice. Do you want to try it too?”
This woman seemed to treat the hospital as my flat. She kept talking as soon as she entered the ward. Although her voice was like a pleasant silver bell, it felt very awkward when it suddenly broke the originally peaceful quietness in the ward.
Dressed in a white professional suit, she who had a tall slim body, and long sexy legs looked very pretty. Although the lively appearance of her kept talking as soon as she entered the door affected her temperament to a certain extent, no one could deny that Liusu was a beauty, and she was a very beautiful beauty.
It took a long time for Zhu Danchen to withdraw her gaze from Liusu. She hurriedly stood up and said while feeling a little inferior, “This lady is…”
“Cheng Liusu, my girlfriend.” I introduced her, feeling very proud. At the same time, I wanted to prove to Zhu Danchen, who often misunderstood my relationship with Dong Xiaoye that I was not a two-timer.
This was the first time I introduced Liusu as my girlfriend to someone else. Liusu’s small face flushed and she rolled her eyes at me embarrassedly, but she did not deny it. She politely shook hands with Zhu Danchen and said, “you are Principal Zhu that Nan Nan and Sister Xiaoye talked about, right? Hello, my name is Cheng Liusu, and Sister Xiaoye and I are friends.”
“Liusu often told me that you are very pretty and had a nice figure, but I didn’t expect you to be this pretty. It is such a waste of talent for you not to be a model…” There was no doubt that Zhu Danchen was trying to flatter Liusu, but at the same time, there was also a faint of envy in her tone.
Yes, Liusu indeed had a nice figure, it was just that her chest was quite flat… Looking at Dong Xiaoye’s ample and firm bosom, and then at Zhu Danchen’s deep cleavage. I actually felt embarrassed for Liusu… I heard people often say that massaging them would make them bigger. It seemed that I had a lot of work to do in the future.
While Zhu Danchen exchanged greetings with Liusu, her eyes glanced between me and Dong Xiaoye.
“Since Liusu is here, there is no need for Sister Danchen and me to stay here to be the third wheels,” Dong Xiaoye got up and said, “Little Chu, I will send Ku’er and her grandma to the school in the afternoon, and then come back to pick you up.”
“I’m sorry, Sister Xiaoye,” Liusu apologized, “I wanted to take time off to take care of him, but he didn’t want me…”
“It’s not a big deal, I don’t mind it. So you don’t need to apologize to me. Besides, even if someone needs to apologize to me, it should be him, right?” Dong Xiaoye jokingly said. Then she resumed a serious expression and carried on, “But he is right about not letting you take care of him. The leader of the gunmen, Xu Heng, hasn’t been arrested yet. Maybe he will come back to look for him. So I am doing this not only to take care of him as a friend but also to protect him as police.”
“Mhm,” Liusu glanced at me worriedly, “I understand.”
I also understood it. The reason why Lin Zhi arranged for Dong Xiaoye to take care of me must also be for this reason. But I always felt that Dong Xiaoye said this to deliberately emphasize something to me…
But I couldn’t figure out what it was.
