Zhong Kui's Diary
I smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I have a purpose for going on this blind date with you."
Xie Mengfei showed a strange expression upon hearing this, took a sip of watermelon juice, and raised her chin, "Go on!"
For someone like Xie Mengfei, merely hinting at something verbally probably wouldn't dispel her doubts. I smiled slightly, took out my phone, entered the Star City government Website, and found Lingfeng's profile among the Star City government officials. I handed my phone to Xie Mengfei: "Take a look at this profile first, remember the person in the photo."
After glancing at it for a moment, Xie Mengfei returned the phone to me: "Star City Public Security Bureau Chief Lingfeng? Hmm, I remember him. What’s next?"
I called Lingfeng for a video chat. Although he was surprised, he still connected with me. I handed the phone to Xie Mengfei: "You ask him who I am."
Xie Mengfei took the phone and saw Lingfeng on the screen. Her expression changed; it seemed she had already understood that the Lingfeng in the video was not fake. I could hear Lingfeng gently asking from the other side, "You must be Xie Mengfei, right? Is there something you want to ask?"
Xie Mengfei stammered a couple of questions before returning the phone to me as if it were a hot potato.
After chatting with Lingfeng for a bit, I hung up and said seriously, "Regarding what I need to discuss with you, the media hasn't made it public yet, so I hope you're mentally prepared."
Xie Mengfei nodded silently.
After pondering for a moment and looking around, I recounted the recent series of rape and murder cases in Star City. After hearing this, Xie Mengfei turned pale and asked nervously, "Is all of this really true?"
I sighed and nodded: "I wish it were false, but unfortunately, it's true."
Xie Mengfei's expression fluctuated as she thought for a long time before finally gritting her teeth: "What do you want me to do?"
I breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled awkwardly: "Do you remember what I told you back at Century Lily?"
Xie Mengfei frowned in thought and exclaimed in surprise: "You mean... you want to make love with me?"
At that moment, the waitress came over to serve me orange juice. Upon hearing "Xie Mengfei," she shot me a fierce glare and slammed the orange juice down on the table, saying, "Fifteen bucks!"
Wow, I had never heard of being charged at this point. Usually, you pay before ordering or when leaving. What’s with paying now? Have you ever seen a waitress asking for money while serving? This girl has a strong sense of justice, doesn’t she? I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time as I handed over the money. Some things, even if I knew I was wronged, I just couldn't explain.
After the waitress left, I said with a bitter smile, "All you have to do is pretend to be my girlfriend. That way, I have a reason to stay by your side and protect you."
There was something else I didn’t dare to say: if you could just sleep with me once, maybe that perverted maniac would show up. But if I said that, Xie Mengfei would probably flip out on the spot. Knowing that having relations would lead to being killed by that old man, how could you ask me to do that? Are you here to save me or to harm me?
Xie Mengfei pondered for a while and then nodded, "Alright, I agree."
After a pause, she continued, "I’m not just pretending to be your girlfriend; I really want to be your girlfriend."
I was taken aback and exclaimed, "It’s just an act; there’s no need for it to be real."
"I don’t care. Either we forget it, or you become my boyfriend," Xie Mengfei said with a half-smile as she looked at me.
"I already have a girlfriend!" I firmly refused, secretly adding in my heart that I actually had two.
"I'm not trying to steal you from her!" Xie Mengfei grinned slyly. "Once this matter is settled, I won’t cling to you or make you responsible. Isn’t that satisfactory?"
Friends with benefits? A term popped into my head as my gaze involuntarily drifted over Xie Mengfei's chest. This suggestion seemed pretty good. My mind raced as I chuckled and said, "You want me to help you deal with Li Zan?"
"Yes!" Xie Mengfei didn’t deny it. "It's mutually beneficial; I'll help you and you help me."
"Alright!" I raised my orange juice and clinked glasses with her.
"Great! Then let’s go buy some clothes later; I want to buy that dress from earlier..."
That night, I took a change of clothes and went home with Xie Mengfei. She had a house in Qinghu District, a three-bedroom place that was quite elegantly decorated. It was clear that she had a strong desire to settle down, as even the master bedroom, guest room, and children's room were all designed. According to the analysis of the famous psychologist Cao Dama Zi... but what was there to analyze? The children's room was already decorated; did it really need any further analysis?
"Which room am I sleeping in?" I asked with a smile.
"You know, the children's room doesn't seem suitable for you. I've temporarily turned the guest room into a computer room, so..." Xie Mengfei said, her eyes sparkling as she shot me a flirtatious glance and walked straight into the master bedroom. Damn, happiness came too suddenly; I happily followed her inside.
To my surprise, Xie Mengfei hugged a pillow and pushed me out: "You can sleep on the sofa."
I lamented, "What if someone climbs in through your window? What will we do if something happens?"
Xie Mengfei laughed lightly, "I live on the 19th floor, and the windows are secured with anti-theft bars. Who could possibly get in? Just stay in the living room."
Hmph, who knows, maybe someone is a Grandmaster-level Expert; what does being on the 19th floor matter? What do anti-theft bars matter? Of course, I couldn't say that out loud and could only pretend to be sulking: "No matter what, you better not close your bedroom door. It’s best if you leave it ajar; that way I can see any unexpected situations."
"What kind of situation do you want to see? I'm used to sleeping naked!" Xie Mengfei shot me an eye roll.
This girl was too mischievous; it was obvious she was trying to tease me.
It's strange how relationships work; two people who initially can't stand each other can become friends—like me and Xie Mengfei. Conversely, couples can turn into enemies—like Xie Mengfei and Li Zan. I'm not exaggerating; soon enough, I would see Xie Mengfei's ex-boyfriend, now her enemy.
At that moment, I had just finished showering and was lounging on the sofa in casual shorts and a tank top while Xie Mengfei sat beside me watching TV. No matter how she changed the channels, I ignored her since I wasn't watching anyway. After a while, Xie Mengfei angrily tossed the remote onto the sofa: "Hey, why aren't you fighting me for control of the TV?"
"I'm not interested in TV; why should I compete with you?" I looked at her in surprise as I put down my phone.
"This way, I don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all. Can't you just cooperate with me?"
"How do we cooperate?"
"You want to watch football, but I want to watch Empresses in the Palace. Then we argue for a while, and in the end, you give in because you love me and coax me into watching Empresses in the Palace," Xie Mengfei pouted.
"Oh, I see. You want to create a cozy atmosphere, right?" I understood a bit.
"Yes!"
"This is easy; you're such a brat! You stubborn girl, hurry up and switch to Channel 5! Today it's the Chinese Men's National Football Team against Birmingham Women's School Team Two! The Chinese National Football Team is already down by one goal. Are you deaf? Change the channel!" I shouted at her, spitting as I spoke.
Xie Mengfei was stunned for a moment before she snapped back to reality and playfully punched my shoulder, "Who are you calling a brat? You're the brat; you're the one who's deaf!"
Just as we were joking around, there was a loud knocking at the door. We both paused, thinking we might have misheard, but then there was another round of knocking. I frowned, "Who is it? Isn't there a doorbell? Damn it, could it be that perverted creep?"
I stood up from the sofa and casually grabbed a fist-sized golden ball, cautiously walking toward the door while silently reciting a spell in my mind. If that old man was outside, I'd give him a good beating first.
Seeing me like this, Xie Mengfei stepped forward and smiled, "No need to be so nervous; it's Li Zan. I specifically called him over for negotiations. Help me scare him a bit later."
I scratched my head, thinking to myself that she really knows how to pick her moments; just after we finalized things, she invites someone over for negotiations that night. I nodded with a smile, put away the golden ball, and casually sat back down on the sofa.
"What’s up with that golden ball of yours?" Xie Mengfei asked, ignoring the loud knocking outside and instead inquired about where my golden ball had gone.
"It's just magic; it won't work if I wear it. I'll use this trick to scare Li Zan later," I said casually.
Xie Mengfei frowned for a moment before going to open the door.
When the door opened, five people rushed in. The first was tall and handsome, wearing a trendy white shirt with polka dots and straight-leg trousers paired with sharp leather shoes. His shirt had three buttons undone, revealing a Ruby Pendant inside; the gemstone was strikingly vibrant and must have been quite valuable.
From appearance alone, this person is on the same level as Lingfeng, but compared to Lingfeng, he has a bit more rosy lips and white teeth, and a bit less masculinity. Analyzing from a professional perspective, this is exactly the type that wealthy women prefer; it seems this person is Li Zan.
Behind Li Zan are four bodyguards, three of whom are muscular with tattoos of dragons and tigers on their bodies, sporting crew cuts and big gold chains—clearly members of the Mafia. As for the other person, he is slender with confused eyes, looking as if he just woke up, but I have a vague feeling that he is definitely much more terrifying than the three big men.
"That bitch named Xie, why did you call me here?" Li Zan entered and immediately pointed at Xie Mengfei, cursing loudly. His handsome face looked somewhat ferocious due to his agitation.
Xie Mengfei remained silent, closed the door behind her, sat next to me, hesitated for a moment, grabbed my arm, and rested her head on my shoulder.
"Yo Xue, found yourself a boyfriend? No wonder you're acting so flirty!" Li Zan glanced at me.
I forced a smile, patted Xie Mengfei's hand, and after she released it, I stood up and walked in front of Li Zan, sizing him up: "So you are Li Zan?"
"That's right, I'm Xie Mengfei's ex-boyfriend, Li Zan!" Li Zan boldly puffed out his chest.
I chuckled lightly: "You know you're just her ex-boyfriend? The reason I called you here is to tell you that if you continue to cling to Xie Mengfei in the future, I'll make sure to end you!"
Before I finished speaking, the three muscular men stepped forward. One of them, a bearded security guard, sneered and said: "Kid, do you dare to say that again?"
