Become a Master of Drawing False Hope in a Tragic Novel [GL]

Chapter 35

Looking at the pouring rain hitting my head, something I had seen in my childhood, when he and I were deeply in love and chaotic. He wanted to pull me into the car, probably because he's mentally unstable!

Nan Gongjin, held down by several people, angrily shouted, his eyes filled with fury. "Xiaoxue! How could you say such things!"

Ji Xiaoxue trembled and said, "Call the police."

Shang Qinghui, who no longer wanted to witness this farce, quietly left and sent a message to the patrol team leader halfway through. "There have been many recent cases. We should strengthen patrol efforts at the school and not allow random people to enter and leave the campus."

"Understood! Thank you for Miss Shang's suggestion!"

Tonight, she had to consider whether to go on the date or not.

Perhaps, whether she goes or not will depend on whether the other person is available.

....

She changed her clothes in an apartment near the school.

Bian Yingning, caught between sexy and cute, chose to wear a pink and white striped polo shirt that was tight and exposed her waist. She wore a pair of white wide-leg jeans on the lower half, youthful and pure.

Since she was a sister who had seen the world, she should prefer a simple and cute little sister.

Carrying a fruit basket and following the location given by Duanmu Zhenghao, Bian Yingning arrived at the mentioned floor.

When the elevator door opened, Bian Yingning was still a little excited. She took out her phone and used it as a mirror to check herself.

"It's good, perfect."

Then, she looked through the blurry screen of her phone and made eye contact with the person behind her.

She suddenly turned around. Duanmu Zhengjie, wearing a gray-black suit, was holding a phone and standing by the window, making a call. And this window happened to be right next to the elevator door.

Bian Yingning: "..."

It was a bit sudden, wasn't it?

Duanmu Zhengjie's eyes were fixed on Bian Yingning, and she nodded at her.

She didn't wear much makeup, just a nude lipstick on her lips. Her short hair wasn't ordinary short hair; it was a permed and slightly fluffy short hair, giving off an understated and attention-grabbing atmosphere.

Bian Yingning didn't understand what she said, but she heard her say something to someone else in the end: "au revoir."

She knew this phrase; it meant "goodbye" in French.

Oh, damn it, why did this sister look so charming when speaking French? It's hard not to become her little fan.

To be a little closer to her, Bian Yingning smiled charmingly, "Sister, you sound like a native French speaker when speaking French."

"..."

Bian Yingning: "?"

What did she just say?

Damn, sorry, my mouth slipped just now.

"Uh, I meant to say that Duanmu's French is very authentic."

"...Thank you." When Duanmu Zhengjie heard Duanmu Zhenghao say that he had a friend who admired him a lot and was coming to see him, she had a guess about the visitor in her mind.

"Why did Miss Bian come to the hospital?" Duanmu Zhengjie deliberately asked.

"I... I came to see Duanmu Zhenghao... brother." Perhaps Duanmu Zhengjie's presence was too strong, but under her gaze, Bian Yingning felt like she was standing there naked, with nowhere to hide.

"Oh, I heard he said a friend was coming to see him, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Bian." Duanmu Zhengjie's words and slightly surprised expression were perfectly timed.

"I and Brother Zhenghao hit it off right away. He got injured for the sake of the people, so I had to come and visit him."

"Hit it off right away?" The two of them walked towards Duanmu Zhenghao's hospital room together.

"Yes, I admire and respect people who serve the country, especially talented translators like Sister Duanmu. Whenever I see you, Sister, I often think that such a perfect sister must be coveted by many rotten men."

――"Promise me, please, always stay single."

Those words, like a spell, floated back into her mind.

The assistant's words when she replied, "The restaurant where you had your meal is currently owned by the Bian family."

And the waiter who brought the flowers, saying, "Our young boss said that this bouquet is worthy of being placed in front of you."

Duanmu Zhengjie: "..." Why does she always want herself to stay single and tarnish others? Even when she dines with someone else, she deliberately prepares...

Strange... things that disturb her mind.

She now suspects that her instant connection with her younger brother was just one of the means used to get close to her.
