The phone on the bedding vibrated again.
Since the screen faced the bedding, Meng Jingwei couldn't see it, but she confidently said, "It must be Shu Yao. She probably wants to tear me apart right now."
As she spoke, she picked up the phone. Seeing the name 'Chu Xue' displayed on the screen, her uneasy heart relaxed a bit.
But thinking of Chu Xue's past infatuation with Qing Muyue, she was still terrified.
"Chu Xue?"
Her cautious words were laced with flattery.
"Hmph, Meng Jingwei, you liar! You and Qing Muyue are both liars! I will never forgive you!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we are both liars, we are unforgivable. You can scold us however you want. It is indeed my fault, and I accept it."
Meng Jingwei, on the verge of tears, could do nothing.
She should have expected this outcome the day she deceived Chu Xue.
"What's the use of scolding you? You must compensate me!"
"How should I compensate you?"
"You're asking me? If I tell you, will you agree?" Chu Xue retorted.
"Yes. As long as it's not illegal, I'll agree to anything." To make amends, Meng Jingwei was willing to unconditionally agree to Chu Xue's demands.
"Okay, you said it." Chu Xue nodded, her words clear and distinct.
Just this one sentence made Meng Jingwei feel like she had dug a pit for herself, just waiting for her to jump in.
As expected...
The next sentence she heard was Chu Xue saying, "Help me pursue Han Junyan. I like him, and I want to be his girlfriend."
Meng Jingwei: "..."
Her despairing eyes looked at Qing Muyue.
Because the call was on speaker, Qing Muyue naturally heard Chu Xue's request.
She raised her hand to her forehead, wishing she could slap herself twice.
How could she have stupidly agreed to Chu Xue's request? Wasn't this just creating trouble for herself?
The call fell into silence.
After a long wait, Meng Jingwei hadn't answered Chu Xue's question.
"Hello, did you hear what I said?" Chu Xue couldn't hear any sound and thought the phone had lost signal.
"Oh, the phone lost signal just now, I couldn't hear."
Meng Jingwei made up an excuse, perfunctorily.
"I said, it's not impossible for me to forgive you and Qing Muyue, as long as you help me win over Han Junyan, I will forgive you both. Although you two are hateful, I also have to thank you for your deception, which made me realize that I wasn't deeply in love with Qing Muyue. In this world, besides him, there are other excellent men. For instance, Han Junyan."
When Chu Xue spoke, her pride was evident.
It was admiration and love for Han Junyan.
Meng Jingwei was helpless but didn't know how to refuse.
Anxiously, she reached up and scratched her hair, sighing deeply.
"What do you mean? Are you agreeing or not?" Chu Xue was getting impatient.
"I... I'll try my best, okay?"
Meng Jingwei, forced, said, "Matters of the heart cannot be forced. I can only do my best to help you with Han Junyan. Is that okay?"
"Okay, with you saying that, it's enough."
Although the matter between Qing Muyue and Meng Jingwei had come so suddenly, catching her off guard.
But as time passed, her feelings for Qing Muyue gradually faded. Or perhaps, Chu Xue re-examined her emotions with Qing Muyue and realized that she only admired and liked him.
There was a big difference between love and liking.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Jingwei threw the phone aside and sighed, looking at the ceiling. "Fortunately, Chu Xue's affections have shifted. Otherwise, she would have really killed me."
She felt a chill just thinking about it.
"Alas, look at this..."
Meng Jingwei glanced at Qing Muyue and spread her hands. "Others fall in love and all it takes is their feelings. Why do we have to risk our lives?"
