Winnie thinks the reason I demoted Xiao Qin back to a childhood friend was probably because of she pushed me down and Xiao Qin found out.
She was totally overthinking it.
Since Xiao Qin was willing to teach Winnie martial arts, it meant that she didn’t care about that matter.
Winnie was important to Xiao Qin as she was the first female friend she could treat as an equal, she was also the closest person to a “best friend”.
If a man does not have a homie or two, it’s easy to turn psycho, so women should also have bffs.
In a way, it was because Xiao Qin saw Winnie pounce on me and mistakenly thought she had been betrayed, so it made her realize for the first time the importance of a best friend.
In the flower field, Xiao Qin once said sadly: “From now on, other than Ye Lin cla.s.smate, I’m alone again…”
After a period of consideration, I first told Winnie that our breakup had nothing to do with her.
“Winnie, you still remember, right?” I asked, “When you were dressed as Pleasant Goat and saw me and Xiao Qin on a date in the amus.e.m.e.nt park, do you remember the reason why we did not want you to disclose our relationship?”
“Isn’t the reason because Xiao Qin’s mother, Auntie Ren, was opposed to you guys dating so early.” at least Winnie hadn’t forgotten that.
“Right.” I clapped my hands and said, “So the reason why I broke up with Xiao Qin is to show Auntie Ren. We will get back together one day in the future.”
Because I thought of a way to convince Winnie, I went a little overboard and accidentally said I would get back together with Xiao Qin, but who knows what the future will hold…
“Huh, why would you have to break up for Auntie Ren?” Winnie still did not understand.
“It’s simple.” I chuckled, “After I disappeared, who was the one who saved me?”
“It’s Xiao Qin, but so…”
I pointed to me temple to prompt Winnie to use her brain, “Are you dumb, Xiao Qin risked her life to save me, so if others know, then Auntie Ren will also know. We weren’t able to hide the fact we were dating from her and she was so angry that she crashed her car in the middle of the road.”
“Oh…” Winnie opened her mouth wide, as if she was a fish dragged ash.o.r.e, making a surprised face.
“That’s the reason. Xiao Qin felt guilty because our relationship made her mom angry and caused her to get into a car accident. Thus we decided to break up temporarily, once we’re a little older, and Auntie Ren is no longer angry with us, then we will get back together.”
Look at how perfect my lies are, thanks to Dr. Yu, who lied to my dad today and gave me inspiration. If I listen to a lot of lies, I will also become a better liar.
My lie kills two birds with one stone, as it allows me to continue to pretend to be a couple with Xiao Qin in front of Ai Mi and not make Winnie feel strange, but also allows Winnie to keep her mouth shut about my relationship with Xiao Qin to others, as she did before.
I’m so incredible, this might be the most perfect lie I’ve ever told.
Due to the “invalid” attribute added by my heart problems, I have no choice but to lie like other weak people to protect myself.
“I see.” Winnie patted her thighs and said loudly, “I was wondering why Xiao Qin refused to say why you guys broke up, so she was afraid Auntie Ren would hear.”
“That’s right. I went to see Auntie Ren twice in the past few days, but her complexion, it looks…”
Since the hospital where Auntie Ren stayed was right behind Qing Zi Academy, I’ve went to visit Auntie Ren along with Peng TouSi. On both occasions, Xiao Qin was not there, but my dad was taking care of her, and once I also saw Ren HongDe there.
Although Ren HongDe knew about the intention to negotiate with Ai ShuQiao and other related information, he did not tell my dad and Auntie Ren. He had a kind of self-confidence that he could solve all the troubles himself as the head of the family.
It seems he also asked my dad, “Can you teach high school students?” As if he was secretly planning to give my dad, who used to be a university lecturer, a job at Qing Zi Academy.
“Tsk, Auntie Ren won’t give you a good look.” Winnie, who was easily fooled by my lie, put her right leg across the top of her left leg despite the fact that she was wearing a skirt. Luckily. there was no one across from her, otherwise everything under her skirt would have been seen.
“You bedded her 14 year old daughter. If it were me, I would have broken your legs…” Winnie said with a “you deserved it” look, and continued to drink her water.
“Who bedded Xiao Qin?” I think the misunderstanding must be corrected, “I… I did kiss Xiao Qin, but I never took things any further.”
Well, technically I did and once I was pushed to the edge, but in the end I still never did anything.
“Pfft.” Winnie shot out the water in her mouth like a rocket and it sprayed all over the carpet.
“No way.” Winnie ignored the water still dripping out from the corners of her mouth, “Doesn’t that mean when I pushed you over the other day, I almost stole your virginity ahead of Xiao Qin?”
Um, compared to my virginity, I think your virginity is more valuable, right? Are you so excited, because you felt even more sorry for Xiao Qin?
I was right, you really are her good friend.
“Cough, cough,” Winnie coughed for a while and frowned at the memory.
“No wonder… when I asked Xiao Qin about how you were in bed, she was always vague…”
“Pfft.” Now it was my time it’s my turn to spit out water.
“Why are you asking about that, you’re too boorish.”
“Eh, Ye Lin, what are you fussing about? Female friends will always talk about if their boyfriends are good in bed or not, like some of my aunts. If any of their boyfriend has any perversions, they will also complain to everyone about it.”
No, no way, men will never talk about their girlfriend’s performance in bed.
Winnie wiped her mouth with a tissue and handed me one too.
“Hm, as soon as I asked Xiao Qin if Ye Lin was rough or not, or do you only care about getting yourself off, Xiao Qin would either say something vague or make believe, like describing you as wide as the Three Gorges Dam…”
“Hey, what kind of description is that? Where do I even look close to the Three Gorges Dam?”
“I also found it strange. I thought Xiao Qin was experienced, but I thought her knowledge in the area was not even as reliable as what I learned from p.o.r.n…”
“But it turns out you two haven’t even done it before, I almost got fooled. Fortunately, I was smart, I did not keep getting fooled…”
Sorry, actually less than 3 minutes ago, you were fooled by me again. But please believe me when I say it was a white lie. Plus, being easy fooled would be one of your good traits when acting as someone’s friend.
