The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chapter 46 (How Does Wenxi Treat You?) Wanxin Enticed Xiaoman

One day, Chen Wanxin asked Shu Xiaoman to pick dance dresses for the dancing contest togther with her. After they decided on the dresses and told the shop owner all the sizes that they needed, Chen Wanxin invited Shu Xiaoman to drink a cup of coffee with her in the best cafe nearby.

“What do you think about Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi?” Chen Yuxin asked with a smile.

“They’re great being together. I haven’t seen another two boys in the university who get along with each other so well,” replied Shu Xiaoman.

“Well, you should know why Zhao Yuan treats Wenxi so well. It’s because I asked him to do so in exchange for me being his girlfriend.” Chen Wanxin took a sip of her coffee, picked out a good-looking sugar cube, and crushed it.

“Well, it was because of that in the beginning,” Shu Xiaoman said and took a sip of her coffee. After that, she added, “This black coffee has little sugar. Although it’s bitter, it can stimulate the central nervous system and help us lose fat. I think I can bring some black coffee back to the dorm for An’an.”

Chen Wanxin almost lost interest in speaking to Shu Xiaoman again.

She looked at this simple-minded roommate and mused for a moment, “My coffee must be sweet.” She crushed the last sugar cube in the dish and said while smirking. “If Wenxi knows this, what will he do?”

“Well, I think we’d better keep this a secret forever,” Shu Xiaoman said, her eyes widened in surprise.

“If Wenxi never knows about this, won’t you feel that it looks like that Zhao Yuan is lying to him all the time? If their relationship starts from deception, it’s not so pure and good. Don’t you think so?”

“Um, you have a point, but they do enjoy staying together now. Zhao Yuan really likes Wenxi. He takes such a good care of him and often buys ketchup and olive oil to cook for him. I watched him go to the office to apply for the liberal arts class yesterday. He can’t be interested in the class. He chose the class for Wenxi. Wenxi is an assistant teacher in that class now. And, you know what. Wenxi has applied for a basketball class, and Zhao Yuan will be his coach. They just like each other and enjoy being together.”

Chen Wanxin felt a dull pain in her chest and was rendered speechless. She slowly adjusted her sitting position and drank up her coffee. She lit a lady cigarette and watched the smoke rising up. Tears wetted her eye sockets, as she thought dejectedly, “Zhao Yuan delivered me breakfast together with Lin Wenxi every day, except for the first day. In the last day of the month, I felt that I had a lot of things to tell him, but he just said smilingly, ‘Now, we break up.'” When Zhao Yuan announced the end of his relationship with Chen Wanxin in front of many people, he looked relieved. After that, Chen Wanxin received many love letters and gifts from the other boys, but she still felt sad.

She could not understand. “What happened to me? Many guys from rich and powerful families of this city fall for me. They’re my equals, and I’ve known many of them since childhood. Why didn’t I fall in love with any one of them? Why do I have to love a son of a rural hunter and a hawker? As for this Lin Wenxi, he’s an elegant and refined young man, but he’s just a son of an ordinary family. Maybe that’s why these two guys look so well-matched.

“No! That’s not ture!”

She asked, “Xiaoman, how does Wenxi treat you?” A sudden gust of cold wind blew into the cafe through the window. Shu Xiaoman could not help but shiver.

“Well, he just treats me as a classmate, probably more friendly than he does the other girls,” Shu Xiaoman replied and felt uneasy.

“You know what. I’m just wondering why you often sigh and discuss constellations and numerology with An’an when you hope that Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi could be together. I guess that you might’ve checked your constellation and that of Lin Wenxi many times to figure out whether you’re well-matched. You probably have checked the constellations of Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and Gu Xi, but in the end, you found out that you’re the best for him. Am I right?”

“Well, that’s not a big deal. The fact is that Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxin are meant to be,” said Shu Xiaoman.

“Meant to be? Well, I really want to find out whether they’re meant to be. If they are, we have nothing to say. But if they’re not, these four years will be exceptionally long and hard for you...” Chen Wanxin sighed.

“How can we find out whether they’re meant to be?” asked Shu Xiaoman.

Chen Wanxin raised her eyebrow and said smilingly, “Tell Lin Wenxi the bet between Zhao Yuan and me. If they do love each other, they will take it as a joke and won’t be affected, and you can get over him once and for all. You won’t need to feel dejected every day and will go back to being the lovely, straightforward and simple girl. If they make a fuss about this trifle and even break up because of it, we can tell that they don’t really love each other. Do you really think that everyone can accept their relationship? Lin Wenxi is just pathetic if Zhao Yuan is lying to him all this time. But you’re even more pathetic than him. You occupy a seat for him in the library and wash clothes for him every day, but he just knows nothing about it.”

After a moment of silence, Shu Xiaoman said, “I, I sincerely hope that they can stay together.”

“So, you have to make sure that Zhao Yuan truely loves Lin Wenxi. Don’t you want Lin Wenxi to be happy? If Zhao Yuan is lying to Lin Wenxi all this time, you should ask him to end this relationship as soon as possible! “Both of your parents are doctors. You should know that some patients just don’t want to admit their diseases and even refuse to receive necessary treatment. If Lin Wenxi is really ill, don’t you want him to face the reality?”

“Well...” Shu Xiaoman hesitated. She planned to discuss this matter with Zhang An’an.

Just at this moment, Chen Wanxin said, “Don’t go to ask An’an for help again. An’an will definitely agree with me. And you’ve kept doing what she suggested since coming to this university. Even though her suggestions were good, you should sometimes listen to your own heart. You should learn to make decisions by youself.”

Shu Xiaoman thought for a long time and then nodded silently. Upon seeing that, Chen Wanxin said that she had to leave now and hurriedly walked away. She came out of the cafe and then took a taxi to the provincial hospital. She had already found out where that person was.

After talking with Chen Wanxin in the cafe, Shu Xiaoman had been busy practicing dancing together with Chen Wanxin and Zhang An’an for the contest during these days. She still felt not sure about Chen Wanxin’s suggestion.

The freshmen contests were about to begin.

Chen Wanxin and all her roommates had signed up for the dancing contest. As Chen Wanxin was a great choreographer, she quickly won everyone’s recognition. After the knockout stage, only 12 girls, including Chen Wanxin, Zhang An’an, Shu Xiaoman and Zhou Nannan, were picked out as finalists to form a team, and a few other girls were selected as substitutes.

One day, Chen Wanxin saw Zhang An’an eating chicken legs in the lounge during the break, she went to sit beside Zhang An’an and said, “An’an, you know that everyone says that the 12 of us are the most attractive and talented girls in this grade. But every time I look at the girls standing together on the stage, I’ll feel that something does not look quite right.” With these words, she pinched Zhang An’an’s flabby waist.

Zhang An’an deftly threw the chicken bones into the trash can and wiped her hands. She patted Chen Wanxin’s shoulder and said confidently, “Well, I can gird up my loins. It’s not a big deal. Haven’t you noticed this?” She lifted her chest and proudly showed Chen Wanxin her big boobs.

“Just control yourself... You boyfriend has just recognized a girl as his ‘sister’. Don’t you feel worried about that?” Chen Wanxin watched Zhang An’an with concern.

“That’s alright. I know that girl and I’ve approved it.” Zhang An’an grabbed Chen Wanxin’s hand and continued, “Why do you and Xiaoman look so worried? Do you have anything to tell me?”

Chen Wanxin threw a glance at Shu Xiaoman and replied smilingly, “No, nothing. We just worked too hard for this contest. As you don’t like to go out, we have to go out to get everything prepared. We’re so tired that both of us have lost weight.”

“Well, thank you for being so considerate. But I’m really bored to death when staying in the dorm alone. Wang Zhengjuan just never wants to leave Nannan. As for Wang Xiang, this bastard just keeps buying me snacks!” Zhang An’an could not help but rub her flabby belly.

When Chen Wanxin walked past Shu Xiaoman, she said in a low voice, “So, tonight is the time. Remeber it, Xiaoman.”

Shu Xiaoman was rendered speechless.
