Chapter 13
Childhood Friends With Benefits
Chi Xiaoman believed that this incident was not a big deal in their 13-year friendship. When they were young, they used to swim together naked in the bathtub!
What was the big deal about having a fling in a daze? It was just one time, so it wasnât a big deal!
Chi Xiaoman was very relaxed. At least, she didnât take it seriously until she was caught on the spot by Qiao Ningâs girlfriend in the hotel lobby.
She had even been leaning on Qiao Ningâs arm because of the excessive physical exertion, so when Xu Shanshan angrily rushed over with her friends, her brain immediately crashed. She experienced what it meant to feel guilty and humiliated and covered her face, unable to face anyone, or to say a word.
Qiao Ning was even more surprised. He stood in front of Chi Xiaoman and questioned Xu Shanshan, âWhat are you doing here?â
Xu Shanshan had dressed up in a complicated dress today, beautifully made up with her friends to go to a comic exhibition. She even sent Qiao Ning a beautiful picture, but was told he was playing games in the dormitory.
Xu Shanshan expressed disappointment but also understanding. However, after asking Qiao Ningâs roommate, she found out that he wasnât in the dormitory at all and had been absent all night.
How could she sit still? Xu Shanshan directly rushed back and followed Qiao Ning all the way to the hotel. She was trembling with anger, squatting there all along without even changing her clothes. She was determined to expose the third party!
âI should be the one asking you this. How did you get here?â Xu Shanshan saw Qiao Ning defending the wretched woman, and tears burst out of her eyes. She pointed at Chi Xiaoman and cried, âQiao Ning, do you think you can justify yourself? You said you were playing games in the dormitory, but you didnât even go back to the dormitory. You booked a room with another womanâ¦â
Qiao Ningâs face turned cold, âHow do you know I wasnât in the dormitory? Who told you?â
Xu Shanshan cried even harder, âDoes that matter? Iâve been waiting for you for over five hours, and you deceived me like thisâ¦â
After a deathly silence, Qiao Ning lowered his voice, âCan we talk about this at home? Do you think itâs appropriate to argue like this in public?â
Xu Shanshan choked up, âI⦠I waited for you for five hours, and you lied to meâ¦â
Seeing that this young couple having conflicts because of her, and seeing the sweet girl cry like this, Chi Xiaoman, who was hiding her head like a turtle, couldnât continue anymore. She lifted her face and smiled, even uglier than crying, âUm⦠Shanshan, you misunderstood⦠it was meâ¦â@@novelbin@@
Facing Xu Shanshanâs surprised and sceptical gaze, Chi Xiaoman made up a lie full of loopholes.
âYesterday⦠I was dumped by my situationship, so I was in a bad mood and got drunk with Qiao Ning⦠I vomited all over myself, and he took care of me and even got me clean clothesâ¦â Chi Xiaoman tugged at the T-shirt on her body, âBecause it was so embarrassing, I forced him not to say anything!â
Xu Shanshanâs dead eyes quickly rekindled, and her friends also looked at everyone in the room in disbelief. Could it be that she was too suspicious? Things didnât seem right!
âItâs okay,â Chi Xiaoman was kind and magnanimous. She let go of Qiao Ningâs arm and pushed him towards Xu Shanshan, âI understand you. Who wouldnât be angry in this kind of situation? Of course, I am also angry at being played by a scumbag. Iâm really tired now and just want to go back and rest. Bye, see you next time!â
After pretending to say that, Chi Xiaoman left quickly, hailed a car on the road, and fled.
She had never experienced such a thrilling moment in her life. Fortunately, Xu Shanshan was foolish enough, otherwise, she would have been heavily criticised and ruined today!
