Novel Full Chapter 268 - Did My Brother Already Get You On His Bed?
Fiddling with her fingers, Feng Yi Lan was all nervous not knowing how she should start. It felt like she was some teenager who has come all unprepared to confess her feelings to her crush. Her eyes were lowered to look at her hands and her mouth was opening and closing without making sure if she was ready to speak or not.
Li Xue looked at her friend and did not know how she should respond to her actions? Though she looked cute acting like that, still her hesitation was now making Li Xue anxious. It has already been like ten minutes but still, her friend was just behaving like a student who does not know any answers asked from her on the question paper.
"Yi Lan, are you going to begin it? You have already been like this for more than ten minutes now?" She said with a sigh and Feng Yi Lan immediately sprouted out.
"Did my brother already get you on his bed? Did he already see how best you are with your assets?"
Li Xue's face turned ugly at first but after processing the things her friend blabbered, soon her cheeks flushed scarlet red.
'Geez … what perverted things are you thinking Li Xue! Get a hold of yourself" she almost pulled the hair of her head out internally for thinking something like that …
"Yi Lan, are you crazy? How can you think something like that?" she yelled at her friend with a whisper and then quickly turned around to see if someone heard their sinful talks.
Fortunately, they were alone and Mr Beelzebub had not yet arrived. His call must not have ended yet.
She sighed in relief and then turned around only to see her friend giving her looks like 'she could not believe it'.
"What?"
"Are you serious? Without any question my brother is a predator; how has he not yet made you his prey? How do you think I should believe it? The way he looks at you always so … Nope, I cannot believe your words. Simply not!" Yi Lan said, shaking her head in denial.
"Yi Lan!" Li Xue called, pursing her lips tight. Then smiling, she said, "Okay, I did not want to do this but remember that you forced me".
Feng Yi Lan was dumbfounded by what her friend meant with those words until she heard her saying, "The limited offer starts now. If someone really wants to make me fulfil a promise to them, then they have got 60 seconds to state it, otherwise, my promise will invalidate"
"Li Xue, you can't do this!"
"Tick – tock … Tick – tock" Li Xue did not pay any heed to her words, instead gestured her towards the watch on her wrist.
"Okay, I will get to the point. I want you to begin the modelling career again" Feng Yi Lan said, getting all desperate because of ticking time. As she said, she closed her eyes, waiting for an instant rejection on her idea which did not come even after a few moments passed by.
Opening her eyes to confirm that all that happened was not an illusion, she looked at her friend. It was weird, not like something that she has thought of. 'Did I even say my words to her? If yes, why do I feel like she has not yet heard anything? Why was she so normal?'
"Reasons?" Li Xue did not elongate her sentence knowing that her curt words would be of enough work. When she heard her mentioning the same thing she had decided, she was not that surprised but she did want to know the reasons behind.
Feng Shufen has not stated his reason behind asking her to rejoin the career but she could ask Yi Lan about it.
"I am not saying it. You are cruel. My brother made you like him. That was why I was against you dating him", Yi Lan said, faking her sobs. "That's not the way I wanted to present my plans to you. Go away, I am not telling you anything. Because at the end, you would just reject my plans of revenge".
"Revenge?" Li Xue was smart enough to pick the keyword from the midst of bunches. Looking at her friend's ankle one more time she suddenly asked sternly, "Yi Lan, did your ankle … Tell me what happened to bring you to this state?"
Yi Lan's eyes glimmered with a shine the same as a kid whose mother has given another candy to him since the previous one was dropped and wasted on the ground.
"Will you agree to the idea, if I say yes?" She asked almost instantly, Li Xue finished her words.
Li Xue looked at her and said nonchalantly, "I never said that I am against the idea. I just asked the reason that made you ask me to rejoin again". Her words were simple and plain as if it was not meant to give any shock to anyone but still, Feng Yi Lan felt like her whole brain cells were jumping up and down to get the real meaning behind her words.
"Li Xue, what do you mean by that? Not rejecting the idea? Are you agreeing with me?"
"First tell me what happened today that you shifted all your attention from setting me up on a blind date to moving me back to my previous career"
Feng Yi Lan pouted for a few seconds but then said everything that happened in the restaurant to Li Xue. In most of her sentences she explained how Wen Sying tried to fake herself to be high and mighty when in reality, she was nothing but a failed attempt of being something she can never be.
Towards the end of the speech, Li Xue sighed in exhaustion. It was not like she was tired or something but she could feel the burden her friend took at the restaurant for her. "Yi Lan, was that necessary? I mean you can never stop the crowd from blabbering their heart out. I had already taken it as their part of the job since 5 years ago and now what strangers say about me no longer concerns me"
"Li Xue …" Yi Lan called out to console her friend. Five years was not just a sore memory for Li Xue but also for her. Those years were something that made her realize how big a failure she has been in their friendship?
Seeing her friend giving an expression of disappointment, Li Xue just shook her head to free her up from the burden, "It's no longer a pain for me, darling! I have long moved on from that phase of my life. Became much more mature than I was before and now when I will enter the stream back again, those typhoons are not going to shake me off the ground. Is it not great?"
"Great? Are you fooling me?" Yi Lan knew those words were just an attempt to make her less regretful but that's not how things work. Once you regret something, it will last life-long. Nothing was capable to fill that void of your heart that will always let you know what you lost or failed.
But Yi Lan too knew that her mentioning the same story, again and again, will bring no good. Life is a stage and one has to move on. Happiness and sadness are like the seasons that will come and then pass away every year, the only effort one should put in their life is to be something like evergreen trees and plants so that no season can waver their strength.
Not provoking the same topic anymore, she thought to support her friend in the time that's yet to come in the future. Since she was not there in the past, she will compensate for her absence in the future.
Smiling, she shrugged off the previously said words from the air and then said all cheerfully, "Okay, Li Xue! Let's not discuss past things anymore, instead come on praise me!"
Not understanding, Li Xue raised her brows and Yi Lan instantly explained her words, "Praise me for my greatness! I made you agree with reviving your lost dream! I became the reason! I deserve your praises"
Saying her words, she opened her arms to embrace all the good words from her friend but before she could even build an ambience to enjoy that warm achievement, cold, frosted air from Arctic Circle gushed in to hit her hard.
"You are not deserving of her praises!"
