Chapter 309 Let Me See How You Will Take the Responsibility
After ordering dishes, Fu Zhengzheng and Tian Xin go back to the private room. Hearing the noise inside, they are surprised, so they open the door and enter immediately.

It has been in a mess. He Menghuai hides behind Ji Muxian. Lin Xiaoyue and Yang Tao are holding Sun Qiubo back and saying something. Sun Qiubo who looks angry rushes forward crazily and roars: “He Menghuai! Look at what you’ve done!”

“What’s up? What’s up?” Fu Zhengzheng runs over to hold Sun Qiubo back too.

Tian Xin stands aside and asks confusedly: “What happened? Everything was OK just now, right?”

He Menghuai doesn’t respond and just grins behind Ji Muxian.

Seeing that, Sun Qiubo is angrier. She rushes towards him again and roars: “He Menghuai, don’t play deaf and dumb here. Tian asked you. Answer her honestly now. You are not so courageous to admit what you have done, right? Are you a man?”

Fu Zhengzheng and Tian Xin are confused, especially Fu Zhengzheng. She thinks the words sound familiar.

He Menghuai sticks half of his head out and says with a grin: “It has nothing to do with whether I’m a man or not.”

Sun Qiubo is furious. She picks up a bowl from the table, but she puts it down after thinking for a second. Then she picks up a bag of tissues and throws it at He Menghuai’s head. He Menghuai retracts his head and the bag of tissues hits the wall.

He Menghuai sticks his head out again and raises his hands to Sun Qiubo with a pious expression: “Qiubo, don’t be angry. I just played a joke with Muxian. You know, it’s boring to be on duty at night. If I don’t look for fun myself, the long night will be very tough to pass.”

“Pah! You think you are justified!” Sun Qiubo spits, “You made a mistake. That’s the truth. You must admit it without any excuse and then apologize to Muxian and Tian!”

He Menghuai steps out from Ji Muxian’s back tentatively. Finding that Sun Qiubo intends to pick up something again, he withdraws and shouts: “I have admitted my mistake. I’ll apologize to Muxian and Tian, so long as you don’t hit me with anything.”

Lin Xiaoyue hurries to grab Sun Qiubo’s hand and persuades her quietly: “Sister Qiubo, Brother He has realized his mistake. Please give him a chance to apologize.”

Sun Qiubo snorts: “It’s not that I don’t give him a chance to apologize. Tian and Muxian almost broke up because of him. Whether he will have a chance to apologize depends on Tian and Muxian.”

“It has been over. Forget it. Menghuai always likes to play jokes.” Ji Muxian moves and He Menghuai follows him. Then they move to a place away from Sun Qiubo.

Sun Qiubo snorts: “A joke should be proper. His joke is overdone! Can He Menghuai take the responsibility?”

Hearing what Ji Muxian says, He Menghuai puts on an injured expression: “Look, Muxian has forgiven me. Only you are dwelling on it.”

Sun Qiubo itches to crush his injured face. She points to Tian Xin angrily and says: “He Menghuai, do you feel injured? Let me tell you. Only Muxian’s forgiveness is not enough. We will be done too, unless Tian can also forgive you! Tell Tian in detail the ins and outs of the chat last night right now.”

“Don’t hit me.” He Menghuai steps out slowly with a grin. Finding Sun Qiubo is still, he tells Tian Xin what happened last night.

Last night, Ji Muxian and He Menghuai are on duty together. Ji Muxian logged on his QQ to send an email. Because he was waiting for a reply, he didn’t log out. When Ji Muxian went to the bathroom, Sun Qiubo added Ji Muxian as a friend. He Menghuai sat before Ji Muxian’s computer and accepted her request for fun. He also pretended to be Ji Muxian to chat with her, invited her to have night snack in the night snack plaza opposite to the municipal police office, and gave her Ji Muxian’s phone number. When Ji Muxian returned, He Menghuai had closed the chat box. He laughed secretly aside and waited for a beautiful girl to call Ji Muxian. Later, Ji Muxian received a call and went out really. Imagining that he would talk with the beautiful girl confusedly, He Menghuai laughed so much that he got a stitch.

Finally, He Menghuai adds: “Muxian is usually reticent, so I wanted to make fun of him when I saw someone add him as a friend. I didn’t know it’s your trap!”

Then Tian Xin knows the misunderstanding of last night was caused by He Menghuai’s joke. When she recalls she made trouble out of nothing last night, her face becomes hot. She glances at Ji Muxian and he still looks calm. She complains unhappily: “Why didn’t you tell me about He Menghuai earlier?”

Lin Xiaoyue echoes: “Yes, it’s a misunderstanding.”

Fu Zhengzheng wants to say something, but she swallows back her words. She just drags Tian Xin secretly and winks at her. Tian Xin takes the hint at once, walks to Ji Muxian, holds his arm and smiles at He Menghuai: “Menghuai, Muxian and I need to thank you.”

Sun Qiubo becomes confused: “Why?”

Tian Xin explains smilingly: “It’s the first time that I have quarreled so fiercely with Muxian. I admit I was very angry. but thinking twice afterwards, I think because I didn’t trust Muxian enough, we quarreled so fiercely for such a trifle.”

Ji Muxian breaks in instantly: “I haven’t cared enough for Tian.”

Tian Xin and Ji Muxian look and smile at each other. Then Tian Xin continues to say: “Without the little misunderstanding caused by Menghuai, neither of us would realize the problems in our love, and our love couldn’t be strengthened, so I think we should thank Menghuai.”

Lin Xiaoyue asks with a smile: “That means he has hit the mark by fluke, right?”

Fu Zhengzheng says smilingly: “Now that the love between Tian and Muxian becomes stronger, the dinner should be their treat. Do you agree?”

Tian Xin pats Ji Muxian’s chest and responds smilingly, “No problem. Order as you like. It’s Muxian’s treat this evening.”

Hearing that, Lin Xiaoyue and Yang Tao both crack up.

Fu Zhengzheng laughs and wants to drag Sun Qiubo down, but the latter, who used to join the fun, isn’t affected by the cheerful atmosphere at all. She pats away Fu Zhengzheng’s hand, glances at He Menghuai coldly and says drily: “It seems that you often play such amorous games with strange women.”

He Menghuai has sighed with relief and is laughing with others. But hearing what Sun Qiubo said, he straightens his back at once and says: “Never! I swear!”

Then he erects three fingers near his ear.

Sun Qiubo laughs coldly: “Do you think I will still believe you?”

He Menghuai says in an injured tone: “I don’t chat on QQ usually. You know it!”

“I don’t know.” Sun Qiubo responds with a poker face.

He Menghuai points to Yang Tao and says: “Sergeant Yang can testify for me!”

Yang Tao says immediately: “I can testify.”

“He Menghuai, I feel ashamed of you!” Sun Qiubo glances at He Menghuai with disdain, “Muxian could have told Tian that you pretended to be him to chat. In this way, Tian’s misunderstanding of him would be removed. But he was afraid that I would think much if I knew the truth, so he took the blame. But you not only are not grateful but also laugh at him here…”

He Menghuai breaks in to explain: “I didn’t know what happened last night.”

After Fu Zhengzheng, Tian Xin and Sun Qiubo went out, He Menghuai asked Ji Muxian smilingly about his meeting with the strange woman on QQ. Ji Muxian kept silent, which made him more curious and kept asking. Sun Qiubo heard what he said when she entered with the fruit plate. Then she knew the farce of last night was caused by He Menghuai, so she became furious, and the story began.

Sun Qiubo drops her eyes and says slowly: “Explanation equals concealing. It proves that you are unfaithful to me. I can’t stand it. All heroes in my books are completely faithful to the heroines. My hero must love me wholeheartedly too…”

He Menghuai declares at once: “I am completely faithful to you too. Wholeheartedly and without others…”

Sun Qiubo interrupts him coldly: “You’re not my hero.”

He Menghuai becomes anxious: “Qiubo, I…”

Fu Zhengzheng defends He Menghuai immediately: “Qiubo, Menghuai…”

Sun Qiubo waves. Without looking at He Menghuai, she points to the dishes on the table and says: “Let’s have dinner, or dishes will be cold.”

Others exchange their glances and then take their seats one by one. Sun Qiubo sits next to Fu Zhengzheng.

Walking past Fu Zhengzheng and to Sun Qiubo, He Menghuai calls quietly: “Qiubo…”

Sun Qiubo glares: “Keep away from me.”

Unable to respond, He Menghuai stands aside embarrassedly.

Tian Xin says immediately: “Qiubo, come on. Muxian and I are not angry anymore. What are you angry about?”

“Yes. Look, how happily Muxian and Tian laugh.” Fu Zhengzheng stands up smilingly and wants to give the seat to He Menghuai.

Sun Qiubo glowers at her discontentedly: “Do you want to screw up my dinner?”

Fu Zhengzheng sits down instantly and shrugs at He Menghuai to show that she can’t help him.

Tian Xin rises, moves to another seat and smilingly eases the situation for He Menghuai, “Menghuai, you can drink. Please sit by Muxian to drink with him.”

Lin Xiaoyue rises too, sits next to Tian Xin and says with a smile: “You drinkers sit together while we non-drinkers sit together.”

He Menghuai understands their meaning, but he still glances at Sun Qiubo worriedly.

Tian Xin mocks herself to Fu Zhengzheng while laughing: “Zhengzheng, I find my temper is good. Although I have a short temper, my anger comes and goes quickly. I was so angry last night, but I become cheerful today.”

“Yes, you are right. I like it the most.” Fu Zhengzheng echoes smilingly while winking He Menghuai.

He Menghuai knows they are echoing each other to tell him that Sun Qiubo has a short temper. He pauses and sits down between Ji Muxian and Yang Tao without saying anything else.

During dinner, Fu Zhengzheng, Tian Xin and Lin Xiaoyue keep enlivening the atmosphere. Sun Qiubo is quite cooperative, but others can see her smile is forced.

“Qiubo, stay overnight in my room tonight.” Fu Zhengzheng advises smilingly. For fear that Sun Qiubo will decline, she adds: “My foot still hurts. Please massage it for me tonight.”

Then Sun Qiubo nods slightly.

Tian Xin winks at Fu Zhengzheng. Fu Zhengzheng winks back instantly, reassuring her that she will persuade Sun Qiubo certainly.

The happy party doesn’t go well because of the incident. Less than half an hour later, the dinner is finished. Ignoring He Menghuai who follows her, Sun Qiubo drives off after Fu Zhengzheng gets into the car.

He Menghuai gets into Yang Tao’s car helplessly.

Tian Xin deals with the business in the restaurant and then returns to the residence with Ji Muxian.

Ji Muxian prepares the water and intends to call Tian Xin to have a bath, but Tian Xin has brought him the night robe: “You takes the bath first. I will tidy the room.”

Without saying more, Ji Muxian takes a bath, goes to bed and plays games with his mobile phone.

Soon, Tian Xin finishes her bath, walks to the bed and covers Ji Muxian’s mobile phone with one hand.

“Hey!” Ji Muxian, who is fighting his way through a difficult pass, frowns and glares at Tian Xin. But soon he looks amazed…
