Chapter 1
Childhood Friends With Benefits
A street stall at 10:30 pm.
Chi Xiaomanâs lips twitched as she looked at Qiao Ningâs puzzled face. The desire in her heart to confide in him reached its peak at this moment.
However, when she thought of being laughed at if she said it out loud, she instantly lost her courage. After sighing heavily, Chi Xiaoman filled a glass to the brim with alcohol and downed it all in one gulp.
Qiao Ningâs eyes gradually filled with horror. He clicked his tongue and exaggeratedly hugged himself, âDonât be like this in the middle of the night, Manman-jie. Iâm scaredâ¦â
Chi Xiaoman rolled her eyes and looked at Qiao Ning speechlessly, âWhat are you scared of?â
Qiao Ning, trembling, innocently added the second half of the sentence, âIâm scared youâll take advantage of me while youâre drunk. After all, you look like youâre in the mood to take a man for a spinâ¦â
Chi Xiaoman: ââ¦â
She closed her eyes, twisted her face for a few seconds, suppressed her anger, opened her eyes, and spoke clearly, âQiao Ning, youâre nothing more than a eunuch!â
Qiao Ning: ââ¦â
An extremely aggrieved expression appeared on his fair face. He almost cried like a eunuch right then and there.
Pretending to sob, Qiao Ning, driven by his growing male pride, stepped forward to explain, âI definitely am not. Iâm far above average!â
He blinked his eyes after finishing his statement, prepared to be scolded by Chi Xiaoman.
However, his words directly poked at her heart. She looked at Qiao Ningâs peach blossom eyes, which were becoming increasingly dazzling in front of her, and pinched his chin while observing his increasingly sharp facial features. She also thought about his overflowing popularity with women.
She lost. She had lost miserably!
Chi Xiaoman, who had always been arrogant and confident about herself since she was little, suddenly felt that she had lost completely. From height to physique, and even to her criteria for picking a partnerâ¦
In all aspects, she was defeated by this pale boy who used to rely on her for protection!@@novelbin@@
At this moment, a surge of grievance overwhelmed her. Chi Xiaoman downed another glass of alcohol, her mind completely blank, and she crazily pinched Qiao Ningâs face while drunk, âQiao Ning, my boyfriend ran away. He ran away from me to the other side of the Pacific Oceanâ¦â
Qiao Ningâs face turned red from being pinched, looking terrified. âSis, I knowâ¦â
While he had been tirelessly preparing for his college entrance examination, Chi Xiaoman had been going back and forth with the university genius, He Xuanmei. She, who had boasted about conquering him, was more excited on the day that she succeeded than when she got a perfect score in her exam.
However, the good times didnât last long, and after the college entrance examination, He Xuanmeii told her that he had received an offer from a prestigious university in another country.
The exact situation, Qiao Ning didnât want to remember anymore. He only knew that during those three months, Chi Xiaoman was making a fuss everywhere, trying to force He Xuanmei to stay. The two of them would have a big fight every three days and a small fight every two days. On the day He Xuanmei boarded the plane, Chi Xiaoman, realising that emotional manipulation was hopeless, cursed him harshly. At that time, He Xuanmeiâs face turned pale, then purple, then black, like a chameleon.
Poor He Xuanmei, but Qiao Ning was truly even more pitiful, because during those three unforgettable months, he played the role of Chi Xiaomanâs emotional punching bag.
Just like now⦠Wait a minuteâ¦
Just like now?
Qiao Ningâs eyes lit up.
Before the start of the school year, Chi Xiaoman had once again boasted about conquering a man within a month, who would be superior to He Xuanmei in every way.
Qiao Ning looked at the date.
It was September 28th, and there were two more days until the National Day holiday.
A gentle glow appeared on Qiao Ningâs face as he gently touched Chi Xiaomanâs drunken and fuzzy cheek. âMen are all just fleeting, itâs fine. Letâs find another one, you still have two more daysâ¦â
Chi Xiaoman sobbed and raised her right hand, using her thumb and index finger to indicate a length of about five to six centimetres. She mumbled incoherently, âItâs⦠only half left⦠canât see it anymoreâ¦â
Qiao Ning: ââ¦â
He looked at Chi Xiaomanâs gesture, then at her pitiful face, and almost bursting out laughing.
âHeâs clearly so tall, was he a chubby child?â Chi Xiaoman suddenly raised her voice, angrily questioning the heavens. âI was so proud that I picked him out at the debate competition, how can he be so disappointing? I even took off my skirt, and this is what he shows me!â
âFrom today on, I, Chi Xiaoman, will close off my heart!â
