Chapter 60: Kind-Hearted People

Skinny came back feeling uneasy all the way. Originally, Big Guy wanted to accompany him, but Xiao Fei was drunk and asleep, and couldn’t be woken up no matter how they called her. There was nothing they could do. Besides, with Chen Fengshi there, he felt relieved to take his girlfriend back.

When Skinny returned to the hotel and saw the three beauties around Chen Fengshi, he instantly felt energized. But remembering he was there to be held accountable, he instantly wilted.

He lacked confidence. The beauties eating in this kind of place already put environmental pressure on him.

The main person had arrived. The long-haired beauty in the golden dress actually couldn’t remember Skinny’s appearance, but his bamboo-pole-like body was very distinctive. At a glance, she felt it was him. Moreover, when Chen Fengshi called out a greeting, she and her two friends aggressively walked over, holding up their phones and questioning, “Tell us! What should we do?”

“Sorry, sorry! I’m truly sorry. Forgive me for being a loser and a toad. When I see a beauty like you, it’s inevitable to have wishful thinking. But knowing my own kind, I could only daydream. That’s why I did such a dirty and lowly thing, ruining the beauty’s purity and damaging the beauty’s reputation…” Skinny had thought about his lines on the way and felt this was the most appropriate.

However, before he could finish, the frosty-faced girl angrily interrupted, “What nonsense! What ruining purity and damaging reputation! Are you apologizing or deliberately taking advantage?”

The courage Skinny had finally mustered was instantly scared away completely.

“Don’t misunderstand, you three. My friend here is honest and not good with words. He says whatever comes to mind. He used the wrong words, used the wrong words…” Seeing Skinny tongue-tied from the questioning, Chen Fengshi hurriedly helped smooth things over.

“Don’t speak! We don’t believe a word from the Legend of Cheating, nor do we want to hear it!” The girl who especially despised Chen Fengshi was particularly aggressive.

“Legend of Cheating?” Skinny ignored how to calm the beauties’ anger for a moment, and his focus instantly shifted. His tone clearly showed he thought the nickname was super cool and awesome. Seeing this performance, Chen Fengshi really wanted to wash his hands of it and let him deal with it alone.

“Don’t drag in so much irrelevant stuff. First, you must sincerely apologize. You had the attitude just now but no words, so it doesn’t count. Second, you must delete the photos on your Moments, truthfully explain the real situation of the photos, eliminate the impact, and publicly apologize on your Moments!” The long-haired beauty in the golden dress was still very clear-headed. She didn’t drag in other things and went straight to the point.

To be honest, this request was really not excessive, but… Chen Fengshi knew this would be very hard for Skinny. He had shown off and finally acted high-class for once. Before he even had time to brag about it back at school, he would have to post a correction notice. The face he would lose… With Skinny’s thin skin, he would probably want to pack his bags and go home immediately!

Skinny hemmed and hawed, not daring to negotiate, yet unwilling to accept the demand to tell the truth on his Moments.

“What? You’re still unwilling?” The cold-faced girl found it simply unreasonable. This request was so basic. If it weren’t for seeing that he had nothing to squeeze out of him, would they let him off so easily? He should be accepting this joyfully, yet he didn’t even make a sound!

“This guy doesn’t know what’s good for him, then let’s slaughter him! Slaughter him to death! We have to add another condition: he must host eight or ten banquet tables, toast everyone one by one, explain the truth one by one, and apologize!” Needless to say, this was of course the proposal of the girl who despised Chen Fengshi. She seemed entirely focused on figuring out how to slaughter someone.

“Old Chen, Old Chen, help me talk to them, talk to them. About that, that public explanation thing… help me talk to them…” Skinny was too embarrassed to say it clearly. But if he told the truth on his Moments, how could he face anyone from then on? Even though he knew he was at fault first, but, but… his pride!

Chen Fengshi had already guessed Skinny’s dilemma. Skinny wasn’t thick-skinned like him. He could only try to rescue him, so he discussed with the long-haired beauty in the golden dress, “Can we step aside to talk?”

The long-haired beauty in the golden dress could see that Skinny had a dilemma that was hard to speak of, so she wasn’t overly aggressive in just demanding her terms be met. She nodded in agreement and followed Chen Fengshi to the side.

“Speak, what do you guys want? My demands are not excessive at all!”

“Yes, indeed they are not excessive. It can even be said that, beauty, you have a very kind heart to only make the most basic requests. But I want to discuss if we can properly compromise a bit? For example, Skinny publicly apologizes on his Moments and just says, ‘He made an inappropriate joke with your friend, formally and publicly apologizes, and asks for your forgiveness.'” Chen Fengshi wasn’t confident. The fault lay with Skinny, and the other party had no reason to look after his pride.

The long-haired beauty in the golden dress listened, her eyes showing confusion, but she didn’t ask. She listened carefully and thought for a moment, then suddenly understood a little. “He feels he would lose face?”

“The beauty is truly understanding, that’s exactly it. Frankly, the fault is indeed his, but it’s a man’s pride at work. If he truthfully explains what happened, he really would have no face to see anyone at school. I’m afraid he wouldn’t dare to see his schoolmates for the rest of his life. Of course, there’s no reason the beauty must consider the bitter fruit he brought upon himself. But judging from the nature of what he did, it seems… he doesn’t deserve this level of punishment either. What does the beauty think?” Chen Fengshi was begging for Skinny now, so of course he had to watch his attitude. He had to be sincere and keep a low profile.

The long-haired beauty in the golden dress thought for a bit. Although she felt Skinny brought it upon himself, a compromise wasn’t impossible. If they framed the matter as them being ordinary friends, and that Skinny made an excessive joke without consent, then Skinny would save face, and she wouldn’t suffer any negative impact…

“Okay!” She made her decision quickly, then said, “I hope he can remember the lesson.”

“The beauty has the heart of a bodhisattva! I thank you ten thousand times on his behalf!” After Chen Fengshi finished speaking, he hurriedly called Skinny over, pulled him aside, and explained the situation. During this time, the long-haired beauty in the golden dress also briefly explained the situation to her two friends.

Skinny was overjoyed and rubbed his hands in gratitude, saying to Chen Fengshi, “Old Chen, you talk to her for me, I want to treat her to a meal as a thank you…”

“Get out of here! Do you think they’d give you a chance to hit on her?” Chen Fengshi looked annoyed.

Skinny hurriedly explained, “No, no! I don’t have that kind of thought. Do you really think a toad dares to eat swan meat? I genuinely just want to thank her for showing mercy! Otherwise, tell me, would I still have the face to be a person?”

“Since you are sincere, you must be prepared. If you want her to agree, you have to invite her two friends along. If you invite her alone, she will definitely suspect your motives and certainly won’t agree. She is easy to talk to, but that friend of hers is practically a master at the art of slaughtering people. Do you dare to invite her?” Chen Fengshi felt it was very necessary to remind him.

Skinny hesitated for a moment because he lacked confidence, afraid he wouldn’t have enough money. But after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said, “I’ll invite them! If I don’t thank such good people, I’ll feel I owe them! If I don’t have enough money, I’ll borrow some from you and Big Guy first. No matter how much we get slaughtered, the worst that can happen is I throw my entire year’s salary into it when I go back!”

Chen Fengshi could only give a thumbs up to show his admiration at this moment. “Skinny, out of all the time I’ve known you, you are the stupidest and most badass today!”

Skinny posted an apology statement on his Moments right there. Among the replies, someone familiar asked very suspiciously how Skinny could know such beauties, which Skinny dismissed with a single word telling them to get lost.

In the end, the shortest girl quickly showed the long-haired beauty in the golden dress the apology statement that others had forwarded.

“He got off easy!”

The beauty in the golden dress had no objections and was about to leave. Seeing that Skinny didn’t have the courage to go over and speak, Chen Fengshi had to stop them and express Skinny’s sincere gratitude for treating them to a meal.

“Yo, keep dreaming! You already got off easy, and you still want to hit on us?” the girl with the look of disdain mocked mercilessly.

Skinny was so embarrassed his face turned red, while Chen Fengshi calmly stated, “With absolute sincerity, and no improper thoughts! With three fairies like you, we feel ashamed just looking at you, how would we dare think of anything else? You three pick the place, and you three choose the time. Just don’t make it more than three months from now, because after three months, he has to go back to his hometown to work.”

The long-haired beauty in the golden dress originally wasn’t interested. No one was short of a meal. But seeing Skinny’s embarrassed look, it really seemed like he was sincerely thanking her. She thought about it and agreed. “When the time comes, we will pass on the time and location through someone at your school. It might not just be the three of us.”

“Okay! Any number is fine!” Skinny spoke up happily, but these words were a bit too badass.

Chen Fengshi didn’t have time to remind him before the shortest one sneered, “Fine! You said it! Any number is fine!”

“…Yes, I said it.” Skinny actually already regretted it, but the words were out of his mouth. He figured the worst that could happen was being scammed to death once. It’s rare to be this badass in life, so how could he embarrass himself by taking it back?

“Pfft! A pair of bad friends, still pretending to be big shots!” The girl was dismissive. Chen Fengshi couldn’t help but ask her, “Why does this fairy have such great hostility toward us?”

“I’ve seen the dirty things you do together!” The girl said coldly, “My cousin Shen Ai is from your school. That day you deliberately picked a fight at the school gate and tried to bully someone, I saw it clearly. Also, you have no public decency, throwing glass bottles around to make trash, not afraid the broken pieces would hurt kids playing on the road. I saw that clearly too. Did we wrong you?”

Skinny was instantly dumbfounded, remembering which day it was! He had begged Chen Fengshi to help him deal with the love rival who had humiliated him, only to be fatally struck down by his goddess.

Chen Fengshi certainly remembered too. What he found surprising was that this girl was actually the cousin of the goddess Shen Ai!

“Beauty, for the sin of lacking public decency by making broken glass, we will not shirk the blame. That is our problem. But saying we bullied someone, I must explain this—Beauty, you saw us looking for that guy, but you didn’t see how that guy had bullied my friend in the past! We were absolutely fighting back reasonably, or it could even be called a very limited counterattack.”

“Alright, alright, as long as the matter is settled, it’s fine.” The long-haired beauty in the golden dress finally stopped Shen Ai’s cousin from continuing. Just as the group of three turned to go back, a few people came out of the hotel looking for them. And among them were two faces Chen Fengshi recognized: one was Young Master Wang, and the other was Young Master Kai.

Seeing Chen Fengshi, both of their moods turned bad, and then they sped up their steps to come over. Someone next to them even shouted from afar, “Why is it taking so long? Are they trying to start trouble?”
