Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 399: Poetry and Wine in the Prime of Life (5)

Some people yearn for a dull life, while others dislike it.

"President, you are not ordinary at all. You are the only one among the three of us who has experienced the beauty of love." Han Qiu said without hesitation.

Su Xiaoqiang rebuked Han Qiu with a stern face: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Sorry, sorry, I've had a little too much to drink." Han Qiu blamed the alcohol.

Alcohol always becomes the scapegoat for all kinds of things and topics.

"I'll drink a glass as a punishment." Han Qiu raised his glass.

"It's okay." Chen Wenwen smiled and waved her hands, then picked up the wine glass again, "Let me drink one too. Those things are in the past. It doesn't matter."

"It's over, it's over," said Han Qiu.

"Han Qiu, is Lu Mingfei doing well in the United States?" Chen Wenwen asked.

"Very good. He...has changed a lot since you met him last year." Han Qiu described the current Lu Mingfei. "That guy is not so unlucky anymore. Maybe if he meets a girl he likes again, he will boldly pursue her, even if the opponent he faces is very strong."

Chen Wenwen listened carefully and drank another glass of wine silently, as if to give herself courage.

She needed some courage, and she felt that this was a good occasion to talk about the past.

People always want to say something for no apparent reason.

"I'm sorry for him," she said.

Su Xiaoqiang shook the wine glass in his hand and asked softly, "Why?"

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Han Qiu didn't know what to do.

"Why? What's the good of that?" Han Qiu stood up. "Boss, don't listen to Su Xiaoqiang's nonsense. She was drunk, too. It's over. It's all over!"

"I can tell you about it." Chen Wenwen became serious.

Just like when I used to take final exams.

Han Qiu looked embarrassed, but he was cheering in his heart.

"Well, I shouldn't have brought up this topic. I'm sorry, President." He still chose to apologize first.

Chen Wenwen didn't care. She smiled and lowered her head slightly. "Like I just said, my life is actually very monotonous and dull. When I was in high school, I always knew that Lu Mingfei liked me. I thought about telling him clearly, but I didn't have the courage."

"Why?" Han Qiu and Su Xiaoqiang asked in unison.

In fact, both of them were very interested in this past event, and their previous singing of the same tune was just acting.

The instinct of gossip and the determination to get to the bottom of things.

Anyway, Chen Wenwen's feelings are the only thing worth exploring and understanding about Chen Wenwen.

"You guys..." Chen Wenwen realized something.

"It's okay, it's okay, just say whatever you want to say." Han Qiu retreated again to advance.

Su Xiaoqiang chose to pass the buck and pretend to be a good person: "Han Qiu, I've already told you not to keep asking."

Han Qiu rubbed his face. This was his only remaining resistance.

"If you want to know, I can tell you." Chen Wenwen suddenly smiled, showing her teeth, pointing at Su Xiaoqiang with one finger and Han Qiu with the other, "You two really look like a couple!"

"No." Han Qiu retorted.

"Absolutely not, and absolutely impossible." Su Xiaoqiang said firmly: "At most, he is my driver."

"Alright, alright!" Chen Wenwen covered her stomach, "I'm laughing so hard that my stomach hurts. Let's get back to the topic. What did you ask just now?"

"Why don't you have the courage to explain it to Lu Mingfei?" Su Xiaoqiang said.

"Yes." Han Qiu agreed.

If we talk about this, these two guys won’t be sleepy anymore and will remember it clearly.

Chen Wenwen laughed dumbly, raised her head and stared at the chandelier in the box, "I'm afraid, afraid that if I tell it clearly, Lu Mingfei will not like me that much. It feels really good to be liked by others, and it is also something that relieves the dullness of my dull life."

"How do you know Lu Mingfei likes you?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.

"You're staying next to the fire, can't you feel the temperature?" Chen Wenwen asked back.

Su Xiaoqiang's silence was just right. In Han Qiu's opinion, the little angel was killed instantly by Chen Wenwen.

"But what you are doing is hurting Lu Mingfei," Han Qiu said.

"So... I did something wrong." Chen Wenwen tucked her hair around her ears. "If you do something wrong, you have to admit it. Many things that happened afterwards, even the things about Zhao Menghua, were mostly my fault. This is a punishment."

Mistakes are inevitable, and when you make a mistake you have to admit it, if not to others then to yourself.

Han Qiu knew that Chen Wenwen had admitted her mistake to Lu Mingfei once, so he was calm at this moment.

Su Xiaoqiang seemed to have reacquainted herself with this girl who was known as one of the three most beautiful girls in the class. She felt that Chen Wenwen was so brave.

"Come on, have a drink." Han Qiu raised his glass, "President, I had some gossip with the little goddess, I apologize again."

"Yes, apologize." Su Xiaoqiang said, "You don't have to take all the blame on yourself. After all, it was Zhao Menghua who dumped you, and he was the one who pursued you in the first place."

Chen Wenwen shook her head. "Zhao Menghua treated me very well. He really liked me in the past. That was a normal liking, and what I gave back was crazy love. I didn't want Zhao Menghua to be Zhao Menghua, so he left me."

"What exactly happened between you and Zhao Menghua at that time?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.

"We had a lot of arguments." Chen Wenwen recalled that relationship. "My words at that time... maybe it was okay to chat with everyone, but he was my boyfriend. At that time, I thought that my boyfriend should understand me and be around me. He should also love the poems and songs I love. I like to say a lot of literary words, which don't sound like normal communication. I like him to guess my thoughts, which are hidden in words like poems."

It sounds tiring, this is about love.

Han Qiu didn't say anything, pretending to be dumb. He really didn't know what to say. Chen Wenwen was not as good as Su Xiaoqiang. This was Han Qiu's definition.

But one cannot just put one's own definition on the table casually, one should give Chen Wenwen some face.

You can't just jump onto the table, point at Chen Wenwen's face and yell: You were really good at pretending back then, you even hooked Lu Mingfei into a black carp, can you please stop being so disgusting?

We can't do this, especially since Chen Wenwen has already admitted her mistake.

It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes. If you are willing to give Lu Mingfei some compensation, that would be even better.

Of course, the compensation Han Qiu referred to was not marrying Lu Mingfei, but helping Lu Mingfei to the best of her ability when he needed help.

“I see…” Su Xiaoqiang saw that Han Qiu didn’t say anything, so he could only say, “I didn’t realize you had this kind of personality before. I simply thought you… had an artistic aura.”

"That's because I was too absorbed in reading and deceived myself." Chen Wenwen smiled bitterly: "Books are books, reality is reality, they are two different things. Maybe it's because that style made me taste the sweetness, so I have been trapped in it. Last summer, something happened, and Lu Mingfei told me a lot. At that time, I slowly started to think about it, and it took me a long time to figure it out."

"I think it was really too much for you to let Lu Mingfei go over to be your shield last year." Perhaps the alcohol stimulated Su Xiaoqiang, and she also started to speak frankly.
