Chapter 49 Love Each Other Dearly
Long Xi was stunned.
Yan Wangchuan said, “I just want you to be my partner for just one dance! This is my birthday wish, please! I promise I won’t pester you anymore! We’ll be like brother and sister, merely good friends!”
Long Xi couldn’t bear to refuse his humble request and looked at Mo Kun beseechingly.
Mo Kun smiled at her and said lightly, “If I don’t consent, it will seem that I am too ungracious, right? Well, you can have the first dance together. But Long Xi will dance with me for the rest of the night.”
Yan Wangchuan said, “Thank you, Mo Kun. Don’t worry; I just want one dance. I dare not expect anything else!”
Mo Kun said, “Dancing is like life! You two met first and spent your childhood together, but I will be the one who will accompany her for the rest of her life.”
Long Xi saw that Yan Wangchuan’s face was stricken. She wanted to stop Mo Kun from saying more. She hurriedly said, “That’s the deal.”
Yan Wangchuan said sadly, “A promise is a promise. I’ll leave now.”
Long Xi looked at his back moving away and spoke angrily to Mo Kun, “He was in such a miserable state! How can you bear to strike him when he is so down?”
Mo Kun laughed, grabbed Long Xi’s shoulder and whispered in her ear, “I can’t give him any chance to get back with you!”
After that, he clasped Long Xi to his chest and brought her back to the ward.
Facing this black-hearted, bossy but affectionate, gentle yet at the same time big devil, Long Xi had no idea what to do. She thought, “Forget it. I don’t have time to waste my brain cells.”
Grandma still slept soundly.
Lord Mo Kun put Long Xi on the empty bed in the ward, closed the door and cuddled her for a while. Then he reluctantly returned to his base camp to do his work.
Early the next morning, he returned with his latest invention.
As soon as Long Xi saw the invention, she laughed.
It was a fabric made of gradient colors. The overall color tone was blue. The top layer was a sea blue color, then the next a light sea blue color. It then gradually became sky blue, a light layer of sky blue, a lake blue and then the lake blue gradually became lighter.
Mo Kun turned off the light and the cloth emitted a soft blue glow. There was a soft blue gloss made up of different layers which matched the colors according to the layers of color of the fabric.
Long Xi loved it immensely. This cloth was not only amazing but also breathable, wrinkle-resistant, non-destructible and comfortable to the touch.
Inspiring thoughts instantly erupted like a fountain in her mind and she immediately took out the design paper and focused on drawing the designs.
She was going to use this material to design a fashionable suit!
It was said that work conscientious women are the most beautiful! While appreciating her extraordinary beauty, Mo Kun was thinking about inventing a sleeping pill tester.
With this tester, he could easily check whether there were sleeping pills in the food so that he would not be so easily tricked again.
Long Xi cooked a pot of delicious porridge with dried scallop and lean meat, her two specialty dishes. She fed grandma and shared some with Mo Kun.
Then Long Xi sent Mo Kun away.
They loved each other dearly and could not keep their hands off each other. It was as if their hands were glued together. They said their good byes reluctantly.
After witnessing Long Xi and Mo Kun kissing, Yan Wangchuan left the hospital in dismay. He returned to the rented humble abode he lived with his mother. As usual, his mother was not home yet.
Everything in their humble abode was old and smelt of mildew.
Recently, due to the business doing well at the antique shop, Yan Wangchuan’s mother worked overtime almost every day until seven o’clock in the evening.
His home was remote and his mother usually spent an hour on the road as she dragged her tired body home by subway.
In the kitchen, there was washed rice and meat and vegetables which his mother had bought in the morning. Yan Wangchuan was too upset to cook so he decided to have rice and pickles only.
While waiting for rice to cook, Yan Wangchuan lay idly in bed, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes.
Today was a bad day!
Today, he had bought Long Xi’s favorite sunflowers and had gone to Long Xi’s house to visit Long Xi and her grandmother.
He used to live next door to Long Xi’s family and had been their neighbour for many years. Naturally, he remembered where Long Xi lived.
Of course, he had an axe to grind too. His main purpose was to invite Long Xi to be his partner at the Easter dance party.
He rang the doorbell for a long time, but nobody opened the door.
Aunt Wu, who lived upstairs, came back from shopping. When she saw Yan Wangchuan, she recognized him as an old neighbor of Long Xi and told him that Long Xi’s grandmother was ill and in Xie De hospital.
Yan Wangchuan went to Xie De Hospital but there, he unexpectedly met Man Shahua who was at Xie De Hospital to pick her mother.
Man Shahua’s mother was the head nurse of the hospital.
When Man Shahua saw Yan Wangchuan, she asked him what he was doing at the hospital. Yan Wangchuan did not want to tell her and vaguely muttered something about visiting some friends.
Unexpectedly, Man Shahua followed behind him quietly.
Then the worst thing happened!
He saw Mo Kun and Long Xi kissing in the ward with his own eyes!!!
Faced with Mo Kun, a powerful rival in love, he was even more frustrated. He could not help but have the thought that he didn’t want such a life!
If he could exchange his life with Fan Xiaolu, it would be wonderful! At least, he didn’t have to be bullied by Jiang Ba or look at Man Shahua’s face and he would have higher stakes to compete with Mo Kun!
He couldn’t control himself. He sent a message to Fan Xiaolu through Wechat, “Didn’t you say you wanted to exchange lives with me before? Why haven’t there been any more details after all this time?”
Fan Xiaolu quickly returned with a message, “I thought about it but I finally decided to give up the idea. It is no fun to be Yan Wangchuan. Even my mother’s Teddy dog is better than Yan Wangchuan. Do you still want to change? But you must promise me one thing.”
Yan Wangchuan said, “I am willing to pay anything for it!”
Fan Xiaolu replied, “Well, as you wish! Let us swap for two days.”
Yan Wangchuan said, “Thank you! I will do whatever you want me to do!”
Fan Xiaolu said, “Your birthday is during Easter?”
Yan Wangchuan said, “Yes.”
Fan Xiaolu said, “I want you to invite other girls besides Long Xi to be your dancing partners. Don’t dance with Long Xi.”
Yan Wangchuan was shocked. It had not been easy for him to get Long Xi’s promise to dance with him as his partner. Now Fan Xiaolu was asking him to give up Long Xi? Was Fan Xiaolu also fond of Long Xi?
Yan Wangchuan hesitated and finally texted back” OK”.
Maybe, this was the only chance to make him stronger. He must seize it! He wanted Long Xi back, by any means!
