"Grandpa, could you please open the door? We've asked for leave, but we didn't have time to get the leave slip," Hu Yu'en called out to the gatekeeper.
"No, no, no."
"I'll bring you a pack of cigarettes next time I come back~ Hey Uncle, do you remember me? I gave you a few cartons of cigarettes~"
The old man was taken aback, glanced at the two of them, and then gave Hu Yu'en a peace sign.
"Mmm, two packs, two packs~"
The school gate was opened a crack, just enough for two girls to pass through.
"Sir, put it on Lin Mo's tab!"
Jiang Wanfeng turned to look at Hu Yu'en, her eyes filled with surprise.
Hu Yu'en smiled at her.
"See? It's not just you and him who have many memories and secrets; I have them too."
"Wanfeng, do you know what? I originally came here to beg you, to beg you to let me be your mistress and Lin Mo's mistress... Hahaha, isn't that scary and crazy?"
"I..." Jiang Wanfeng looked at her best friend's smug smile and didn't know what to say.
She wasn't without such thoughts... though it was a last resort, and she wasn't qualified to judge Hu Yu'en's current situation.
"Hu Yu'en, how much do you like him?" Jiang Wanfeng couldn't help but ask.
"Me?" Hu Yu'en gave a dejected, bitter smile. "There's no point in asking this."
"Because both of us like him..."
"That would be enough to melt the tigers in the forest into butter..."
Chapter 178 Finding a way to get into his bed
Jiang Wanfeng opened the refrigerator, and a blast of cold air hit her face, instantly sobering the girl up a bit.
She knows what she's thinking right now.
The girl has always been willful, but this time she can't be willful.
You really need to think this through; it's a lifelong decision.
Should she fight to the end, give up, or willingly share her love for him...?
Giving up... is impossible. Without Lin Mo, Jiang Wanfeng can't even guarantee she'll survive... let alone watch him marry another girl, have children, and spend the rest of his life with her...
Should she fight back...? Jiang Wanfeng pondered, taking out two small puddings from the refrigerator—desserts Lin Mo had left for her.
She glanced back at Hu Yu'en, who had uninvited herself and gone home with her. She wondered if her former best friend would do the same, shamelessly following Lin Mo to some hotel...
The thought of that possibility made her so frustrated, she wanted to die...
She was extremely stingy. She didn't want anyone else to touch Lin Mo's things. Even the chopsticks in the house were kept separate, with Lin Mo's chopsticks placed next to hers. Every time it was time to eat, she would instruct her mother that she and Lin Mo used their own chopsticks separately and not to mix them... She would also get up at night or in the morning to wash them herself...
And his clothes, his bedding, his room, the water glass he used, the straw he bit, his body...
She is extremely, extremely, extremely unwilling to let anyone touch her...
Possessiveness may be in a cat's nature; Jiang Wanfeng has an extreme sense of vigilance towards her territory and her lover.
Basically, she's many, many times more likely to get jealous than the average person.
But her proud and aloof nature stopped her in her jealousy. For years, both at school and at home, she never said she liked him, never expressed her love.
To harshly criticize Hu Yu'en and those girls is unfair. Aside from knowing him longer, she has no status or position whatsoever as the "official wife." She has no reason or right to blame or resent them.
How could she possibly stop her friend from liking Lin Mo? She probably tried, but it seems the more she tried, the more counterproductive it became. Perhaps this is the extremely low emotional intelligence that cats gain by exchanging their beauty and wildness.
On the contrary, they could find fault with her and question why she always bossed him around at school, treating him like her personal servant or butler...
"Wanfeng, leaving the refrigerator door open for too long wastes a lot of electricity."
Hu Yu'en sat on the sofa, drinking her own tea, and said to her.
"Isn't your family well-off...? Why are you still worried about the electricity bill?" Jiang Wanfeng interrupted her restless thoughts and came over with two small puddings.
"No, well... speaking of which, my family went bankrupt." Hu Yu'en laughed.
Jiang Wanfeng was taken aback upon hearing this.
"These days, I try to save money wherever I can... They say it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I didn't believe it before, but I've experienced it myself. Natural gas is much cheaper than coal gas, and running the air conditioner all night consumes a lot of electricity. Restaurants I used to love don't even offer a tip for a glass of water anymore..."
"A cup of coffee is so expensive! Twenty or thirty yuan can buy many bags of instant coffee powder. Ordering food normally doesn't mean having a chef come to your home to cook; instead, you have to rack your brains to grab coupons on your phone to order takeout... The mattress has become very hard, and the bed is very small. Mobile data is so expensive every month; I can't use it as freely as before. I used to know that the ceiling light could have just one bulb..."
"Of course... all my extracurricular classes, like dance, piano, art, and so on, are gone, which is a good thing."
Hu Yu'en spoke intently, but her smile held an indescribable melancholy.
"You know, the night he said he'd only ever be with you, I thought about seducing him with money, about using money to blackmail him... Sigh..."
Hu Yu'en took a sip of tea. "It's not possible now. This kind of life is so unbearable. So I'm still hoping that Lin Mo can support me and let me live the life of a rich lady again. I'd be happy to be a kept woman. Hmm, if I think like this, Wan Feng, will you be angry?"
Jiang Wanfeng sat down with the snacks in his hand, handed her a piece of pudding, and said in a low voice:
“It’s not just anger; I’ll yell at you and beat you every day until you get out of his world.”
"What about you, Feng? Did you ever think of using your family and the debt of gratitude your parents owed him for raising you to morally blackmail him and force him to be with you?"
Jiang Wanfeng remained silent.
"See? I knew what kind of person you were. You and I are the same; we'll go to any lengths for things we care about. But the difference between us is that you don't dare to do it, while I really do. It's just that I don't have the ability now, and..."
Hu Yu'en took a bite of pudding, and the icy dessert made her shiver.
"Hmm~ Even if I had the ability, I wouldn't dare. He just vanishes without a second thought, and so many people are vying for his attention. I can only beg; I dare not compete..."
"The pudding is so delicious, did Lin Mo make it?"
After Hu Yu'en finished speaking, seeing that Jiang Wanfeng remained silent for a long time, she changed the subject.
Jiang Wanfeng nodded. "He left it for me."
"So he's still very good to Wanfeng? It seems we're all the same." Hu Yu'en's words carried a hint of jealousy, but not an overt one.
"Hey, Wanfeng, let me show you...it's a secret between us best friends." Hu Yu'en smiled brightly, rolling up a small section of her sleeve, which had been hanging down as if deliberately made too long.
Fine scratches suddenly appeared on the girl's snow-white skin, like a haze in a clear sky.
Jiang Wanfeng nearly dropped the pudding in her hand; it trembled and shook precariously.
"Why did I say I wanted to be Lin Mo's rich wife? ...Because my family not only went bankrupt, but we also owed a lot of money. If Lin Mo hadn't helped my family pay it off, I probably would have stabbed him hard here, instead of scraping away at him little by little, leaving only small scars..."
Hu Yu'en lowered her sleeves again. Foxes aren't good at licking their wounds in front of others; she'd be frightened if she saw it.
"Did I scare you? I think you're just as upset as I am. I often saw you picking up trash late at night... Although I didn't know what you were doing back then, now that I think about it, it's actually quite similar to what I was going through~"
"As for where he got the money, Ya Jie said it was from an inheritance or something...it's not important."
"All I know is that my repayment to him, my love for him, cannot be about satisfying my own selfish desires. I can only offer my face, my body, my emotional value, everything about me that still has an allure, and make it all for him..."
Hu Yu'en gave Jiang Wanfeng a deep look.
"So, sharing with you or with others is a luxury for me, after all, I'm planning to be a mistress."
"He helped Ya-jie a lot, no less than he helped me... So I suddenly thought just now, he must have been very good to you too. You must have felt it during this time without him..."
"I'm not here to advise you or anything, I just hope that you won't make things difficult for him anymore."
Jiang Wanfeng lowered her head, listening to Hu Yu'en's words, and unknowingly finished eating the pudding.
Hu Yu'en looked at her, waiting for her reply.
“Pudding, I won’t share anything he makes with anyone else. I’m stingier than anyone else,” Jiang Wanfeng murmured.
But she gave it to Hu Yu'en.
"Actually, you still have your own selfish motives, don't you? You're afraid that if I act willfully with him again, it will affect your relationship." Jiang Wanfeng huffed resentfully.
Hu Yu'en raised an eyebrow.
"um, yes."
"When did wanting to spend your whole life with someone become a whim..." Jiang Wanfeng lifted her leg and nestled on the sofa.
"Can you leave him?" Hu Yu'en leaned back on the sofa and slumped down.
"I would die just from not having his desserts."
"So, what makes you, Jiang Wanfeng, think he should give up on someone else?" Hu Yu'en was ostensibly criticizing her, but in this conflict, she was also speaking about herself.
"Oh, I never expected him to think like that. It's so outrageous, but I'm also so happy that I don't have to be a mistress anymore... Am I even more outrageous?"
"But who can we blame?" Hu Yu'en sighed, noticing that the weather was getting warmer and her breath no longer produced the fun white mist, and her eyes lost their focus.
"It's all his fault." Jiang Wanfeng buried her face in her knees, her voice suddenly choked and hoarse, her slender shoulders trembling.
"Don't cry, you'll have your turn to cry later." Hu Yu'en smiled and poked her. "Hey, there's something I want to give you."
The fox took out a bottle that looked like cosmetics from its bag. "This is what he sent. This bottle has two layers. I think half of it is yours."
"Hmm~ You shared your pudding with me, so I'll share half with you too."
"I tried it last night, applied it to the scar, and you can see it's faded a lot today~"
Jiang Wanfeng stopped sobbing, accepted Hu Yu'en's gift, and instinctively hugged it to her chest.
"I... I haven't made up with you..."
"I'm not here to make up with you, you childish fool~ I just want him to be good to me."
"you..."
"What do you mean, Jiang Wanfeng? My ideological awareness is much higher than yours now. From now on, call me Empress Yu'en!"
"Are you crazy?!"
"What's wrong with the first one to climb into his bed being the boss? If you're not happy, go climb in yourself!"
"I already climbed that!"
"Oh, you climbed that a long time ago? If you had climbed that long ago, your belly would be huge by now, wouldn't it? Coward! You have the desire but not the guts!"
"I still have to go to school...it's not that I'm afraid..."
"If I let you climb into his bed now, would you go?"
Jiang Wanfeng swallowed, unsure whether it was from the shortness of breath caused by her recent crying or from thinking about something she had suppressed for a long time... It had been a very, very long time since she had...
I think the feeling of helplessness during this period was also related to physical stress.
"It's up to you. Someone has to go, but we have to wait for him to come back first."
Hu Yu'en got up and, while Jiang Wanfeng was still in a daze, quickly slipped to the refrigerator, opened it, and took out several boxes of desserts.
"I gave you half of the beauty cream, but you only gave me one serving of pudding, so I'll take it myself. Bye-bye~"
Jiang Wanfeng jumped up in surprise, about to rush over and catch the treacherous fox, but Hu Yu'en seemed to have planned this all along. She had even left the door ajar from the start, and ran off without changing her shoes...
After her silvery laughter echoed in the hallway, Jiang Wanfeng angrily counted the missing desserts.
Maple Cat was so angry that it was hissing and jumping up and down!
But after getting angry,
The urge to cry seems to have disappeared too.
They were misled.
I can't cry like that in front of him anymore... There's no such thing as having it all.
Since I've chosen to become a compliant cat, I can't let those poor little pearls fall.
Jiang Wanfeng watched the sun gradually move westward outside the window, and she moved along with it.
Moving the cat to Lin Mo's room doorway felt like the sun returning to the other side of the earth; the cat also wanted to return to its owner's beloved nest.
The girl carefully lifted a corner of the blanket and skillfully slipped inside.
"I've warmed your bed..."
"When will you hold me as I fall asleep...? If I don't fight or compete, will you come back to love me...?"
Jiang Wanfeng muttered sad words to herself, but after a few sentences, she suddenly laughed.
I've resolved to be self-disciplined so many times, but in the end, I only lose control of myself more and more... It turns out that as long as he leaves, I have no desires at all, which is both embarrassing and laughable.
