Chapter 94 "Popping Pimples"
Chapter 94 "Popping Pimples"
"Jinyan, what were you thinking at that time?"
In the private room of the restaurant, Dilraba and Xu Jinyan were having dinner and chatting.
Xu Jinyan shook her head: "I wasn't thinking about anything."
He was telling the truth; he really wasn't thinking about anything.
With his current reaction speed, when he saw the horse charging towards him, he even had time to smoke a cigarette and calm down.
Therefore, his actions in rescuing the person were very calm and composed.
However, from Dilraba's perspective, Xu Jinyan didn't think too much about it at all; she instinctively went to help others and risked her life.
This perfectly matches her consistent impression of Xu Jinyan.
She exclaimed, "Will you be awarded a medal for bravery after the news reports?"
Xu Jinyan was taken aback. He hadn't thought that much about it, and instead said:
"I reckon Director Hu will try to cover up this news. Given his usual hype, he'll probably wait until the show airs before releasing it."
Upon hearing this, Reba nodded.
Then, she suddenly laughed: "Of the five people involved in today's incident, four are fine. Only Director Hu was seriously injured, mainly because you kicked him."
Xu Jinyan also laughed and said that Director Hu's injury was serious only relatively speaking, and that he had held back his strength when he kicked him.
Then, as if casually mentioning, "Xiaotong and Yitong are truly grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts today; you were a real hero saving the damsel in distress!"
Xu Jinyan sighed, "It's a pity Mao Xiaotong already has a boyfriend, and Li Yitong is so immature. Why didn't she offer herself to him on the spot?"
Dilraba: "..."
Xu Jin said with a smile, "What's even more regrettable is..."
She pouted and poked at the food with her chopsticks, "What's more of a pity?"
"It's even more of a pity that you weren't by my side at the time, so I didn't have the chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress."
Dilraba turned her head abruptly and looked at him with surprise.
Xu Jinyan also looked over.
The two stared at each other in silence, as the atmosphere grew increasingly intimate and the distance between them slowly closed.
— Dilraba's phone suddenly rang.
Xu Jinyan was speechless. Who was so annoying? They were ruining the atmosphere.
Dilraba's cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly took out her phone. The caller ID showed "Xiaotong".
Mao Xiaotong's phone call?
Reba calmed herself down, told Xu Jinyan, and then answered the phone.
"Hey, Xiaotong."
"Xiaotong, what's wrong?"
Xu Jinyan was surprised to see that Reba's expression suddenly became tense and her speech became rapid.
"Xiaotong, say something!"
He immediately located Mao Xiaotong's position, which wasn't far away.
Moreover, Chen Xiang was nearby, so she shouldn't have encountered any danger; otherwise, she should have called the police first.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Reba stood up and said, "Jinyan, Xiaotong asked me to go to her house. She sounded a bit off."
Xu Jinyan also stood up: "Then let's go, I'll go with you, just in case anything happens."
Dilraba nodded; she thought so too.
Today's events made her feel safe and secure when she was with Xu Jinyan.
Xu Jinyan was driving, and Dilraba was sitting in the passenger seat.
"You seem to really enjoy driving?"
On the way, the enclosed space brought back the feeling from before, and Dilraba casually started a conversation.
Xu Jinyan smiled and said, "I usually drive myself in private to improve my driving skills."
[Car Driving: Beginner (930/1000)];
This level was achieved purely through experience; when emotional points are scarce, every little bit saved counts.
"So, how are your driving skills now?"
"My driving skills are now... I can drive with one hand."
As he spoke, he gripped the steering wheel with one hand and held the other hand with the other, saying, "Impressive, isn't it?"
Dilraba looked at the hand covering her own and smiled, "Amazing!" Then, she crossed her fingers with the other hand.
Their hands were clasped together, and they could occasionally see smiles on each other's faces when they looked at each other.
Unfortunately, they are currently occupied with other matters.
In no time, the two arrived at Mao Xiaotong's residential area.
As the elevator gradually ascended, Dilraba's expression became much more composed.
She thought Xu Jinyan was right. At this time, Xiaotong should not be in danger. Otherwise, she should have called the police first, instead of calling her good friend.
Xu Jinyan followed silently behind.
"Thump, thump thump"
When the door opened, Mao Xiaotong saw Reba walk in and couldn't suppress her emotions. She hugged her and started crying.
Dilraba patted her back reassuringly without saying a word, letting her vent, and then the two went to the bedroom.
Xu Jinyan then entered the house, nodded to Chen Xiang, and sat down on the sofa.
Chen Xiang sat down next to him looking a little uncomfortable, scratching his head as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
He saw Xu Jinyan just sitting to the side playing on her phone, not even asking him what had happened, which made him even more embarrassed.
"I'm sorry to bother you and Dilraba so late at night."
Xu Jinyan raised an eyebrow:
"I'm friends with Dilraba and Xiaotong, so what's the big deal about bothering them?"
"I was supposed to have dinner with Reba, but she got a call and was about to come over. I was worried about what might have happened to Xiaotong, so I came along too."
"Hey, it's nothing," Chen Xiang shook his head and said, "She just misunderstood something."
Xu Jinyan: "Oh."
Seeing that he didn't respond, Chen Xiang continued:
"I had arranged to go to a beauty salon with a friend, and I was going home to change my clothes. Just then, Xiaotong came home. She saw me with my clothes off as soon as she walked in, and then..."
"It's all a misunderstanding, all a coincidence. It's more dramatic than any TV drama!"
Xu Jinyan had a vague idea of what had happened, and only now did she finally confirm that this was the famous "pimple squeezing" incident.
Mao Xiaotong caught them red-handed when she got home, and ended up moving out overnight. The whole process was extremely short, and she was both beautiful and cool!
The subsequent recording of the original soundtrack further proved her clear logic and strong command of dialogue.
Chen Xiang was beaten to death.
However, she may have experienced a major emotional upheaval today, and was thinking of going home to rest properly, but... her emotions became even more volatile.
That's when I want to find a friend to keep me company or confide in.
Xu Jinyan nodded, but didn't say anything.
From the moment he entered the residential area, he imagined himself being recorded and monitored, so he was very careful with his words and actions!
The two sat on the sofa, silently waiting for Mao Xiaotong and Dilraba to come out.
After a while, Reba came out alone. Without even glancing at Chen Xiang, she said aggressively, "Jinyan, help me move!"
She was furious. After learning what had happened, she felt so sorry for Xiaotong. She had suffered two blows today; who knows how devastated she would have been if it were her…
Xu Jinyan knew who the tone was directed at, but she didn't care.
He gave Chen Xiang an awkward smile, stood up to see if he could help in any way, and thought to himself: Sure enough!
Chen Xiang also stood up and followed like a shadow, watching the three of them busily packing their luggage.
They neither helped nor said anything.
He even went downstairs to see him off...
