The noise startled the two who were being intimate.
“Who’s there?” Frank snapped irritably.
Taking a deep breath, Huo Fanjin lifted her skirt gracefully and appeared before them. “Sorry to disturb you two. I was just about to leave and accidentally kicked over a flowerpot.”
Indeed, not far away was a toppled flowerpot, soil scattered all over.
Finishing her explanation, she made as if to leave.
“Wait.” Frank suddenly spoke up.
Huo Fanjin turned back, her eyes questioning.
He released the girl he was with and approached Huo Fanjin with a smile.
The man had a pair of eyes that could speak, with gentle blue ripples. When he gazed at you, it was as tender as can be.
Unfortunately, it was all fake.
“You look beautiful today,” he praised emotionally, speaking in English.
“You don’t have an accent?!” Huo Fanjin was fixated on this detail, her surprise and suspicion evident in her gaze.
In the end, all emotions turned cold as she questioned, “Why did you lie to me?”
“Tsk, I didn’t lie to you,” he picked up a strand of Huo Fanjin’s hair and sniffed it lightly at his nose, “It’s really fragrant! Someone else lied to you.”
Huo Fanjin suppressed the goosebumps all over her body. “What do you mean?”
But he avoided answering directly, “After tonight, I’m leaving tomorrow. Why don’t we do something to create memories? For example, go back to the hotel now and get a room for just the two of us.”
Huo Fanjin snatched her hair back abruptly, stepped back two paces, and distanced herself from him with disgust. “What disgusting nonsense is this? I’ve been pen pals with someone like you for years. It’s simply unbelievable!”
Frank’s smile faded. “You’re so clueless!”
“Ha, who do you think you are? Take a look at yourself. With that stinky appearance of yours, you’re such a self-righteous idiot!”
“You!” Frank became furious and embarrassed.
He hadn’t expected that this seemingly quiet girl would have such strong verbal combat skills.
Those vulgar words seamlessly integrated Eastern and Western styles, without any redundancy.
“You don’t f*cking deserve to be my pen pal, let alone stand here and talk to me. Get lost—”
Frank chuckled, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes. “Oh, acting as if I care about being your pen pal?”
Huo Fanjin frowned.
“Honestly, I’m Frank, yes, but I’m not your pen pal. Nowadays, with chat apps and social media, who the f*ck writes letters? It’s so outdated!”
Huo Fanjin’s pupils shrank. “You’re not Frank?! Then who is Frank?! Where is he?!”
“Don’t you understand a word I’m saying? I am Frank, but your so-called pen pal stole my name and my photos. He’s the one deceiving you, you idiot!”
“No… it can’t be… you’re lying…”
Frank sneered, “Oh, by the way, everything between you two, every email, every detail, he told me all of it. How else could I have fooled you? Ah, so pitiful, being deceived again and again…”
“Shut up!” Tears welled up in Huo Fanjin’s eyes, but she bit her lip tightly to prevent them from rolling down.
Frank, of course, didn’t listen. “By the way, you’ve actually met him.”
“!”
“It’s that guy—”
Suddenly, a dark figure leapt out from the nearby bushes, landing a punch on Frank.
“D*mn it! Are you crazy, Joe?!” Frank cursed, licking the blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Don’t bully her! You broke your promise to me, Frank! You’re a liar and a scoundrel!” Short and stout, Jonas stood in place, roaring furiously.
Because of how tightly he clenched his fists and his emotions teetering on the edge, he couldn’t stop his whole body from shaking.
It was a physiological reaction born of extreme anger.
“Who are you?” a puzzled voice came from behind.
Jonas froze, no longer trembling, standing rigid as a board, unable to move.
“I’ve seen you before,” Huo Fanjin said. “On my second day at Heipa, I sent an email to arrange a meeting with Fr—uh, this scumbag, and you came over to tell us he wasn’t coming, right?”
Jonas didn’t dare to speak, didn’t dare to respond, didn’t dare to turn around.
“I think your name is… John? No, no, Jonas! Your name is Jonas, right?”
Still no answer.
But Frank, lying on the ground, suddenly laughed, “Beautiful Oriental doll, do you know who your real pen pal is? Ah, it’s this ugly, fat little coward standing in front of you. Look at him, so timid, so weak, he doesn’t even dare to turn around and speak to you. Oh, how utterly pathetic! He and you, you’re both the same!”
“Shut up, you idiot!” Huo Fanjin walked over to Jonas, standing beside him, looking down at Frank on the ground.
Hands on her hips, she said, “Thank goodness my pen pal is him and not you.”
Frank froze. “Huh? What nonsense are you spouting? That ugly freak? Better than me?!”
Jonas tensed even more, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.
Suddenly, he turned and bolted, as if something terrifying was here, something he had to get away from as quickly as possible…
Sister Yue returns home tomorrow! What would you all like to see next? I’ll try to fulfill your wishes~
