chapter 94

A man showed up at the gate while Song Qinghan was cooking in the kitchen. Stood aside him was Wu Dahu. The man paused there with a reluctant face.

In the beginning it was a shock for Song Qinghan before he reacted, he clapped his hands as he figured out that the man with a gloomy face was actually Xiao Lin, and then he welcomed them with a bright smile, saying, “You must be Xiao Lin, right? My husband always talk about you.”

Beautiful, elegant and gentle, Song Qinghan was just like a fairy maiden with snow-white skin carrying a crying baby in arms. It was hard for anyone to nurse malice to such a fascinating figure. So Xiao Lin released his gloomy face, but he still got his tone a bit furious.

“What can he say about me? Nothing but something bad!”

Wu Dahu kept his mouth shut in silence because he hadn’t figured out the Song Qinghan’s intentions. His interruption might cause a disorder to Song Qinghan’s plan. If that really happened, then what he had done today would be just nothing.

Song Qinghan smiled and poured two cups of lemon tea for them. He picked up one of the cups and handed it over to Xiao Lin, saying directly, “You might have crushed on Xu Ziyu, am I right?”

With an utter shock, Xiao Lin was startled as he almost dropped the cup, he pretended to be calm, saying, “What the heck are you talking about? Don’t you try to ruin the Ziyu’s dignity.”

Thinking that it was Wu Dahu who told Song Qinghan about this, his gaze became quite strange. He never expected that Wu Dahu was someone seemingly pretended to be diligent-acting, but loved to gossip around.

Song Qinghan poured himself another cup of lemon tea, took a sip, and uttered slowly, “This isn’t something shameful, and there are only three of us in the room, why can’t we just be friends and have some chitchats? Well, if we said something wrong, you can just point it out. We aren’t some stubborn people with obstinate thoughts. Don’t you think so?”

Xiao Lin pondered, shook his head with a sarcastic smile, “Oh, don’t flatter me like that to be your friend. Just tell me the reason why you got me here today. I won’t believe that you just get me here for a so-called ‘CHITCHAT’.”

Song Qinghan placed his cup on the table peacefully, raised his eyelids saying, “Since Brother Xiao is kind of open-hearted, then I will get to the point directly.”

“You must have known the fact that Xu Ziyu, the femina son of the curator, troubled my husband all the time, right? And you get yourself involved too, don’t you?”

Xiao Lin took the cup in hand and drank all the lemon tea in it with rage as if he had figured out the Song Qinghan’s intention. He got his expression quite queer just after tasted the flavor of the lemon tea but still kept his tone as calm as he could.

“I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about and the reason why you told me something like that.”

Song Qinghan smiled. It seemed that the indifference of Xiao Lin didn’t bother him at all, he just continued to ask, “Brother Xiao, do you mind me asking why Xu Ziyu would buzz around my husband? And in addition, do you know the consequence if you just let him be capricious like that?”

It could be seen from Xiao Lin’s expression that this man was dragged into a dither of eternity after that, Song Qinghan continued before he answered, “Let me give you a further explanation. Love is formed by affection, affection is formed by caring, caring is formed by curiosity, and curiosity… And curiosity is how Xu Ziyu feels toward my husband now. I believe that some of you in the club might have been teased or tricked by him, more or less. But the ones who are able to capture his attention should be no more than three, am I right?”

Xiao Lin sneered, threw the cup on the table as if he was quite furious about what he just heard, and then he answered coldly, “He won’t do that anymore, the hell, no more! I will surely defeat Wu Dahu in days.”

Song Qinghan stared at him with a faint smile, saying slightly, “Well, you definitely can’t.”

“You,” Xiao Lin rose from the seat, squinted his eyes and then looked at Wu Dahu, a fire of rage just ignited all of a sudden in his mind, “Tomorrow morning, let’s meet at the forecourt, and I will defeat you under the sight of everybody.”

“Do you know why I said you just can’t make it?”

Song Qinghan shouted at the moment Xiao Lin turned around and was about to leave.

Xiao Lin paused, and then uttered, “Of course because he is your husband, you should defend him.”

Song Qinghan pointed at the stool, motioning Xiao Lin to take the seat, and smiled, “Not at all, YOU ARE the reason. Did you get a bad sleeping quality and a bad appetite? And the scenarios of how you can defeat Wu Dahu are haunting you. Or, let me guess, well, you just conceived of any possible means to defeat him perfectly.”

Xiao Lin fell on the seat with resignation, his face was full of embarrassment as his eyes were rolling nervously, he grunted, “SO WHAT?”

Song Qinghan reached out to pour more lemon tea into Xiao Lin’s cup, and then he said calmly, “There’s a saying goes, the one who takes the initiative to be anxious loses the whole game. Everyone can’t get rid of the principle, for Xu Ziyu, it reins, for my husband, it reins. And for you, it reins either.”

Finally, Xiao Lin’s expression turned into seriousness suddenly, he pondered and commenced studying the “saying” Song Qinghan just mentioned. And then he praised, “Well, our ancestors always tell the truth, don’t they? Alright, I admit it was all my fault out of my etiquette. But…”

“But you just had no idea how you can handle it well, right?” interrupted Song Qinghan, calmly.

And then it was a seemingly long silence of eternity for Xiao Lin, Song Qinghan smiled, and then said in leisure, “This is the intention why I invited you here.”

“You’ve got any idea?” asked Xiao Lin, with his eyes wide open.

Song Qinghan nodded while putting away the relaxing expression on his face, he leaned forward a bit, lowering down his voice and saying, “If you just let Xu Ziyu be capricious like that, things will just develop beyond our expectations, probably the curiosity will turn into caring soon. You will never want to wait until everything is out of our control, will you? But I also know that it’s not a good way to let you give up bothering my husband by disobeying Xu Ziyu’s orders. I think the best resolution is…” Song Qinghan paused, “I mean, you should hit on him yourself!”

Xiao Lin, who was influenced by Song Qinghan’s righteous attitude, couldn’t help but lean forward either. But just as he was informed by something like that, he got his expression changed all of a sudden, with his pupils drifting even more faster, and in the end it altered into the pair of bitterness, he shook his head, saying, “I would have get him if it was that kind of easy as you just said, but how is it possible…?”

“You can’t be so pessimistic! You can’t just draw a certain conclusion before you act! I can assure you that Xu Ziyu will be yours within two weeks if you would love to listen to me.”

Song Qinghan wasn’t like a fairy maiden right now, but a wizard who was able to enchant someone with a witchcraft, uttering something tempting slowly.

Xiao Lin struggled to suppress his anger in his mind, clenching his fists while shouting, “I will never do something evil to Ziyu! I warn you not to do so too! If you dare to do something bad to him, I will show you no mercy!”

“Tsk!” sounded Song Qinghan, he waved his index finger in the air, saying calmly, “You get me wrong! As a femina man, I surely know the impact on the other femina man when he gets a bad fame destroyed by someone else. Just don’t worry about that, I won’t do any evil thing to him or recommend you to do so. I will just suggest that you get his affection by his heart, not his body. But it won’t be our business then after you get his affection. Whether you can get the permission from his father or not.”

Xiao Lin snorted, and responded confidently, “As long as I can get Ziyu’s affection, nothing will be a trouble for me. Nothing including the curator.”

Seeing that the “fish” had been hooked, Song Qinghan smiled and said slowly, “In the evening the day after tomorrow, I want you to get Xu Ziyu out in the alley in the name of challenging Wu Dahu, and I will get some ‘Bandits’ there to flirt with Xu Ziyu. At that time you can take the initiative before Wu Dahu to be a ‘Hero’ to get Xu Ziyu out of trouble. How is that?”

Xiao Lin stared at Song Qinghan with a shock, as if he never thought of such a tricky way to show off his masculinity, he pondered for a moment, and then uttered in a lower voice, “It’s impossible for him to be infatuated with me for that!”

Song Qinghan took a sip of lemon tea showing his extreme calmness on face, “Well, did I mention that that’s all you have to do? Be wiser and think about it! You have to make some occasional surprises for him in the future after that. It will be time-wasting event for me to be with such a care and thought if you refuse to take the plan.”

Xiao Lin unconsciously reached out and poured a full cup of lemon tea into his mouth and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve vigorously, narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, “Alright, alright, I will take the plan. What benefits do you want?”

Song Qinghan smiled faintly as he noticed the fire in Xiao Lin’s eyes, saying, “You being together is the greatest bless for us already. At that time, my husband won’t be bothered anymore, and he can focus on practicing and get a good score on the tournament. I will be quite honored at that time either.”

Xiao Lin sneered in his mind invisibly because he knew how difficult to get a rank in the tournament. It would be a blessing for Wu Dahu to keep his own life for the sake of his rival, thought he.

However, he didn’t expose his feelings on his face. He just nodded while standing up, “Alright, I will leave now if you don’t have other things to get me informed. And I will show up in the alley the day after tomorrow, you’d better well-behave!”

Song Qinghan smiled faintly while seeing Xiao Lin off. He shook his head, saying, “What a pity! He is such a good man if he did not indulge himself with love. He got a brighter future if he did not resort any other means to achieve his goal. But thanks to that, it allows us to get access to his weakness. And in addition, if Xu Ziyu wasn’t acting so unduly, I wouldn’t have conceived of something like that.”

Wu Dahu nodded. Noticing that Song Qinghan was putting on a sorrow on face, he came to console, saying, “It’s fine. If Xu Ziyu really got some ideas in his mind, he won’t be tricked no matter what we do. But if he is really going to be tricked by us, then that’s his fate.”

Although Song Qinghan was still quite excited before preparing for this matter, but he felt rather guilty for planning an “Evil Matter” after everything was doomed to happen. Well, at lease Wu Dahu was still in the same boat with him. The guilt in his mind could at least be mitigated a bit.

After dinner, Song Qinghan examined Yuan Wenxuan’s homework and discussed the details with Wu Dahu about the upcoming “Show”. And after that, all of them sank into their dreams.

In the blink of an eye, the evening came. Song Qinghan saw almost all the members from the acrobatics team arrived. Although he was a little wry standing there, he was deeply moved. In the end, he chose only three tallest men among them while letting others wait in the yard and headed towards the alley outside the Liangyi Martial Club.
