I Got Caught After Flirting with the Wrong PersonCh78 - When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Qiao Li said in confusion, “Xiaosan.”

Fei Bai cursed under his breath, gripping his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. “Xiaosan is Zhong Yi, and Luo Yusen is the CEO of Fengyun!” dMScTt

Then he heard a thud on the other end of the line, followed by footsteps. It seemed Qiao Li had picked up the phone and ran to a quiet place.

“Damn it, does he know you’ve mistaken him for the third party? Is he going to beat you up? Where are you now, Fei Bai? Not in the ICU, right?” Qiao Li asked anxiously.

Qiao Li bombarded Fei Bai with too many questions, leaving Fei Bai feeling confused himself. He only managed to respond with, “I’m at school.”

“School? The school hospital? Doesn’t seem like he went too hard on you?” Qiao Li fired off questions like a machine gun. dBROnS

Finally, Fei Bai remembered his first question. “No, he doesn’t know yet.”

Qiao Li’s voice immediately relaxed. “He doesn’t know? That’s good. You scared the hell out of me.”

Then Fei Bai described encountering Xu Geyang and Zhong Yi tonight.

For every sentence Fei Bai spoke, Qiao Li responded with a curse. By the end, Fei Bai couldn’t help but wonder if this incident had shocked Qiao Li’s brain to malfunction. He had to interrupt, “Can’t you say something else?”

“I can, but let me sort this out first.” Qiao Li’s tone sounded like he hadn’t fully recovered.

“Damn, this is just like something straight out of a novel.”

Qiao Li shook his head, “No, what I mean is, do you like him?”

Fei Bai fell silent all of a sudden.

If the intention behind getting close to someone wasn’t pure from the beginning, can you still talk about liking or not liking them?

Qiao Li coaxed gently, “Or let’s think about it from another angle. Putting aside looks, wealth, and capability, what kind of man do you like?” Qmi1aA

Fei Bai thought for a moment and said honestly, “I can’t set those aside.”

Qiao Li was momentarily stunned by his honesty, “Well… in that case, why not just go with the flow? Luo Yusen is a good guy. I think it’s like the heavens giving you a winning lottery ticket. Just accept it.”

“But…” Fei Bai felt like there was still something he hadn’t figured out.

Qiao Li impatiently interjected, “Oh, stop with the ‘buts’. I’m watching a movie with Yan Yan right now. We’d just finished checking our tickets and were about to enter the theater. You pulled me out with just one phone call. The movie has started for ten minutes already. What if Yan Yan starts chatting with the guy sitting next to her?” o9J8B7

After a pause, he added, “Anyway, Fei Bai, just boldly move forward and stop looking back all the time.”

After Qiao Li finished speaking, he hung up the phone and hurried towards the movie theater. He pushed open the door and searched in the dim light, finally locating Yan Yan’s position.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The movie seemed quite boring, as Yan Yan was busy playing with her phone. When she saw him approaching, she asked with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Who were you talking to just now?”

Qiao Li lowered his voice and said, “Fei Bai. He’s having some relationship problems.” PVLwNu

Fei Bai’s relationship issues seemed to intrigue Yan Yan more than the bad movie and her phone. Her eyes lit up as she leaned closer to Qiao Li and said, “Tell me quickly, what kind of relationship problem is he having? My roommate told me he has a boyfriend, Xu Geyang, who was in the top ten of the previous school singing contest. Is that true?”

In the dim theater, the sweet scent of perfume drifted over from the girl. Qiao Li couldn’t resist her twinkling eyes and spilled everything.

However, he still retained some sanity and didn’t mention Luo Yusen’s name or identity, only saying that Fei Bai had mistaken someone else for the third party, who happened to be a wealthy, handsome guy.

Yan Yan listened, her eyes widening in surprise, “How can Xu Geyang be such a scumbag? Cheating shamelessly and still feeling righteous about it? But he didn’t tell Fei Bai who the third party was. Does that mean he feels a little guilty?” KzBHRY

“Forget it, he doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘guilt’,” Qiao Li sneered.

“Firstly, he’s afraid of Fei Bai’s retaliation, and secondly, when he and Fei Bai were in high school, everyone knew about them. You didn’t even know how much Fei Bai sacrificed for him back then. If he really flaunted the third party, it would make us, his old classmates, curse him to death.”

Yan Yan clicked her tongue and said firmly, “You should tell him to ditch the scumbag and be with the wealthy, handsome guy. I support him!”

Before Qiao Li could respond, someone from the back row, annoyed by their constant whispering, coughed a couple of times as a warning. He had no choice but to shut his mouth and take the opportunity to pat Yan Yan’s hand, urging her to focus on the movie. jcWvNh

After hearing such juicy gossip, Yan Yan couldn’t possibly concentrate anymore. She urgently wanted to share it with someone. Her original plan was to head straight to the dormitory after the movie and gossip with her good roommates. However, halfway through the movie, her mom suddenly called.

Since the movie was boring anyway, she went out to the corridor to answer, “Hey, Mom, what’s up?”

“Could you come home tonight? The navel oranges from the orchard your uncle manages in the south are ripe. We just received seven or eight boxes via refrigerated transport today. I tasted one, and it’s especially sweet. You love oranges, don’t you? And your dad keeps nagging about you coming home more often. He’ll be delighted to see you when he gets back home after his business dinner tonight,” Yan Yan’s mom said.

Yan Yan knew her mom too well. If she didn’t agree, her mom would keep nagging. She originally chose to live in the dormitory to avoid her mother’s constant chatter and because she liked hanging out with people her age. XrA0KS

“Okay, okay, I’ll go back. Tell the driver to wait at the school gate,” Yan Yan reluctantly agreed. At the same time, she lowered her head to check if she was wearing anything inappropriate for her mom’s eyes. After confirming everything was fine, she went back to the theater and dragged Qiao Li out to accompany her back to school.

At the same time, while Luo Yusen was driving home, he received a call from his aunt. She first asked if he had finished work and then mentioned that they had several boxes of oranges at home that they couldn’t finish, asking him to come over and take some.

Luo Yusen politely declined a few times, but unable to resist his aunt’s warmth, he eventually relented. At the next intersection, he turned around and headed towards her house.

On the way back to school, Yan Yan chatted with Qiao Li for a while. When she arrived home later than expected, she noticed an extra pair of men’s leather shoes on the shoe rack at the entrance. Knowing that they had visitors, she restrained her actions when entering the house to avoid her mother’s nagging. PL0V8v

“Yan Yan, your cousin is here. Come over and say hello. I’ll go find the tea leaves your father mentioned he wanted to let Yusen taste,” Yan Yan’s mother said as she heard her daughter enter the house.

“Yan Yan reluctantly approached and took a seat. After exchanging greetings with Luo Yusen, there wasn’t much to talk about, and the two sat in silence.

Feeling a bit awkward, Yan Yan thought of the gossip Qiao Li had mentioned to her earlier and thought it would be a good icebreaker.

Clearing her throat, she broke the silence, “Cousin, do you remember that classmate I showed my mom pictures of last time? The one named Fei Bai?” uxPUj3
