A Slight Smile is Very Charming

Part 33: The path only wide enough for one

Actually, in retrospect, Wei Wei also feels that her own line was very terrifying. But to pick a fight at the door, being imposing was very important. Well, afterwards, it was Wei Wei, using the excuse of being busy, asking Cao Guang to substitute for her and teach a session of basic English to the little boy.

With that, she didn't have to explain anything else; everything became completely clear.

Since the truth of these kinds of things can easily become distorted, Wei Wei didn't even tell those in her dorm room about it. The affair had happened so long ago that Wei Wei has pretty much almost forgotten all about it. She simply tells her dorm mates. Xiao Ling exclaims in admiration, "It's so like a drama. Did Cao Guang have feelings towards you? Why didn't you guys develop a relationship?"

"Intuition, " Wei Wei says in contemplation, "Eh?! Perhaps I knew that there would be someone even better later on?"

Everyone is shocked.

Si Si asks, "Then why does the talented Liang girl also speak up for you?"

Wei Wei isn't too certain about it either, "This person, does she have a very pointy chin, is a bit shorter than me, and has curly waist-length hair?"

Wei Wei describes her based on the remnants of her impression of her.

Si Si nods, "That's right, that's her."

Wei Wei makes an "oh" sound and then her face has an awkward expression on it.

Er Xi shakes her, "Stop keeping us in suspense. Hurry and speak, how do you know her?"

Wei Wei says, "I...think I helped her bargain for a price."

Er Xi and the others all have on a choked up expression.

"A while before, I went to electronics mall to buy an internal (computer) memory card and she happened to be in that store buying one. That store owner saw that she didn't know the ropes and actually took out a second-hand item to fool her. One look at the luster on that memory card and you could tell that it was an old one, okay? And the asking price was 50 dollars more expensive. I thought that I might have seen her on campus before. So knowing that she was also someone from our school, of course, I couldn't let her be tricked."

"...So you had to be righteous and help her?"

"Wei Wei nods and says proudly, "And then the two of us both bought them at manufacture price."

Si Si is amazed, "You bargained that fiercely?"

"Hehe, I hinted to the boss that I might sue..."

Xiao Ling suddenly understands, "I finally know why she says you are righteous, turns out to be the righteousness of a thief."

Wei Wei originally thought that this kind of gossip would die down by itself in two or three days. But, presently, it has become more evolved and more intense; inevitably, also becoming a bit annoying.

Wei Wei has an exam on Monday afternoon. Only after she finishes the exam and studies a bit before she goes back. When she gets back to the dorm room, seeing Er Xi's strange expression again, Wei Wei's intuitive reaction is, "The forum doesn't have a new thread does it?"

Er Xi giggles, "No, no, Great Master Xiao just called looking for you. He's back."

Oh? He's back early?

Wei Wei's eyes brighten and opens her own bag, planning to take out her phone card to make a call. Er Xi blocks her and stutters, "Wei Wei, when I was speaking with Great Master Xiao on the phone just now, I accidently said something that I've hidden deep in my heart."
