BXBX NOVEL Chapter 129 - I Deserve You at Your Best
Chapter 129: I Deserve You at Your Best
They fooled around until 10:00 pm or so. As they were walking toward the side of the road, they happened across a bar. Mr. Sleepy was captivated. Only he was just a wisp of paper compared to the strength of Meng Fan. Very quickly, he was stuffed into the taxi they had hailed.
“I finally get to be a father figure to a collaborator, and you treat me like this?! I’m not asking for extravagant treatment the entire way, but can’t we have a little entertainment activity?”
“Were you not entertained just now? Go home and update!”
“I’m a little tired. I think I’ll sleep early. One’s health is the most important!”
Meng Fan arranged for Mr. Sleepy to stay at a fairly nice hotel near the academy before heading home. If Mr. Sleepy was really going to bed or planning to head out later for food, Meng Fan would not care.
Of course, Meng Fan chose this hotel because of its unique location.
After returning, Meng Fan worked on his art until 3:00 am before finally sleeping. The next day, he woke up at 6:00 am again and ran his laps before going to class. At 10:00, he called Xing Ta Ge to help drive Mr. Sleepy to the train station.
The reluctant Mr. Sleepy finally entered the station when Meng Fan told him to ‘update’ his novel once he returned.
“You go back first.”
“Me first?”
” Wu Tong’s coming back from Shanghai. She’ll be here in an hour.”
“Oh, then I’ll just wait with you.”
“It’s alright; we don’t need a third wheel.”
“Haha, then why didn’t you just call a taxi here with Mr. Sleepy?!”
“That’s not the same! After all, he’s my contract father. Who sends their contract father away on a cab!?”
“Hehe, but it’s okay to take your contract dad night touring yesterday?”
“Of course, if you come to Hangzhou, you have to see Xizi lake!”
“Hehe, your contract dad was probably more interested in girls with heavy makeup and pretty babes near Xizi lake and not the actual scenic area!”
“Lake? Why didn’t you say so? Why don’t we get a group together and play mahjong?”
“Why don’t you misunderstand me as Huba then we can go back to the hotel and pull radishes together!?”
Xing Ta Ge gave Meng Fan a ceremonial middle finger and left. Meng Fan chuckled to himself as he went to buy a drink and wait.
At 11:40, the train entered the station. A few minutes later, Meng Fan saw Wu Tong dragging her luggage out. He handed her the drink he just bought and took her suitcase from her.
Wu Tong smiled. “You really came.”
Obviously, he had given her a heads up before coming. Otherwise, he was not sure if his sudden appearance would be a surprise or a scare to Wu Tong.
“I came to see a friend off and was just in time to get you, so we can go back together.”
Meng Fan shielded Wu Tong from the crowded traffic at the station’s exit before restoring the normal distance between them. He then said, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat now or when you get back?”
“I’m okay. If you’re not too hungry, let’s go back first?”
“Okay.”
They hailed a cab and dropped Wu Tong’s stuff off at the dorm before heading to the waterfront restaurant near the academy.
Wu Tong pulled out a box. “This is for you.”
Meng Fan was surprised as he received it. After seeing that it was a figure of Chopper, he began to laugh.
As they talked over good food, Wu Tong began to talk of her Hong Kong trip when they were halfway through the meal. Naturally, she mentioned Liang Qing. Happily, she said, “I was very honored this time to be an assistant to Liang Qing. And even more honored to become her goddaughter.”
Pfft! Cough cough cough cough!
When Meng Fan heard Wu Tong mention Liang Qing, he had already begun to think of explanations for her. He already knew that he had to recognize his troll mother before Wu Tong voiced her complaints. He had no plans of deceiving her, but he didn’t expect this…
“What did you say? She wants you to be her goddaughter?”
Meng Fan shot up out of his seat. He had no heart to think of anything else. He was on the brink of an emotional collapse.
Wu Tong looked at Meng Fan and became concerned. “What’s wrong?”
“She’s my mom!”
Meng Fan blurted out hysterically.
“Liang Qing is your mom?” Wu Tong also stood up. Seeing Meng Fan nodding on the verge of tears, she wrinkled her brow before slowly sitting back down. She asked, “So she only asked me to be her assistant and be her goddaughter because you asked her to?”
“I would be insane if I did that!”
Meng Fan noticed the people looking at them and lowered his voice. Hurriedly, he said to Wu Tong, “Everyone knows I like you, can you not tell? I like you. Do you think I’d ask my own mother to ask the girl I like to become my little sister? I’d be mad! How the hell was I supposed to know my mom would run into you in Hong Kong and pull this kind of crap!?”
“You like me?” Wu Tong’s brows unfurled a little. “How much do you like me?”
“What?”
This question stumped Meng Fan. Was it really the best time to talk about this?
Wu Tong was looking directly at him. Meng Fan pounded his head then said the words that many guys would say to the girls they liked. “I like you… very much… to the point where I’ll change anything for you!”
Wu Tong shook her head. With a serious look, she said, “Don’t change for me, change for yourself! Because if you do that, I won’t even know which version of you I will like. Maybe now I am intrigued, but you might not be my final love. Maybe the best version of yourself that you like would just happen to be the one I like as well! Don’t you think I deserve you at your best?”
“What?”
Meng Fan’s brain couldn’t process this fast enough. What did that mean?
Wu Tong was silent for a moment and turned around and said, “Since you don’t know, then this matter has nothing to do with you. I will deal with it. If you really respect me, then don’t mention this to your mother and let me handle it. I can tell that you don’t want your mother’s existence to affect our relationship, and I agree. I also don’t hope your mom will affect our relationship, nor do I want you to affect my relationship with your mom. And I certainly don’t want to affect your relationship with your mom.”
Meng Fan was completely dumbstruck.
His own mom chose the girl he liked as her goddaughter!
The girl he liked told him to not change anything for her!
Then she asked him to not care about this!
Now, she said that ‘HIS’ existence would affect her relationship with his mom!
So all of this had nothing to do with him. He was just a spectator?
Whoa.
Wu Tong let out a long sigh and took out her phone. “Don’t say a word. I’ll call her now.”
