Fate Trading System – Chapter 351

Plan B

Heart-Stealing Operation 10

Actually, at the very beginning, Lin Xiaohuan never wanted a result.

She was afraid, fearful, disgusted, and contemptuous of the sexual orientation she was born with, because in the eyes of others, or at least in what was shown on the surface, it was all not allowed, not accepted.

Lin Xiaohuan always remembered a scene. She could not clearly remember which year, which month, which day it was, only vaguely remembering she was probably a few years old when, one day, her older brother talked about three words at home. Perhaps her older brother did not know where he had seen them, or maybe he had heard them from somewhere, yet it made their parents fly into a rage.

They furiously scolded Lin Xiaohuan’s older brother, and warned the two little children that they absolutely could not have that kind of dangerous, abnormal, disgusting thought.

Homosexuals are all abnormal, they should be burned to death.

At that time, Lin Xiaohuan still could not understand what those three words meant, nor did she comprehend the meaning they represented, but she just firmly committed that scene to memory, including her parents’ tone of voice and expressions.

But when puberty began, she discovered that her attention was completely different from that of other girls.

She had despaired, had been scornful, had struggled with herself, but none of it was any use. She had no way to fall in love with a boy, no way to become a “normal” person.

At this time, going online was a very good choice, because on the internet there would always be a group of people identical to her. They exchanged their thoughts and worries with each other. Although they were very far apart, not even knowing what the other person looked like, separated by a screen, they warmed each other’s hearts.

Lin Xiaohuan had once seen these words: a small child asked their mother what a homosexual was, how they should be viewed. The mother explained: Men and women are like the two poles of a magnet. The majority are opposite-sex attracting, but some of the same-sex poles have fallen in love. They need to overcome great resistance to be able to embrace each other.

To embrace each other, how very, very not easy.

This was the first time Su Xin had ever received such a memory. Although she could not remember the things from before, she was just inexplicably certain that this was the first time she had received such a memory.

Perhaps this was not the most desperate, the most humble, or the most furious memory she had received, but it was certainly the saddest so far.

Su Xin also could not clearly remember what kind of people she had been with before, but at the very least she had a feeling, she must have been in a relationship with some people.

And those people should be girls, and very excellent girls who would dote on her very much.

She felt her own concepts being changed, not abruptly, but imperceptibly.

How could Su Xin not know her own temperament; asking her to wait on others was simply impossible.

And that person, or those people, were definitely not haughty nor awkward, because she did not like that. That kind of relationship was too tiring, and she was rather lazy.

She as a person is just rather arrogant and self-centered. For anyone more cocky than her, more arrogant, more awkward, with incompatible three views, there is no possibility of a romantic relationship, it’s stiflingly frustrating.

“I…”

Chu Muyu’s words got stuck, not knowing what to say.

“I don’t blame you for not responding to my affection. What I hate is that when you clearly knew I liked you, you still talked in front of me about Wu Yubing breaking up and then being lovey-dovey. I hate that you gave me hope and then snuffed it out with your own hands. If you had even a little bit of consideration for my feelings, you would not have done this.”

“Thanks for your reminder, let’s hang up.”

The pent-up fire in Chu Muyu’s heart was gone, but now she felt terribly upset.

She wanted to walk in, to find Su Xin, to make things clear.

But even if she went, it would be impossible to make things clear, or rather, they would not negotiate any kind of result.

Chu Muyu felt a little bit of guilt in her heart, but it was only just a little bit.

Even with Su Xin saying this, she did not feel in her heart how much she was at fault.

Su Xin knew this was the situation, so she simply could not expect this person to have any sense of guilt, and then have a guilty conscience.

Chu Muyu was not just used to Lin Xiaohuan being good to her, but was also used to the people around her fawning over her.

Of course, this “around her” was not the absolute majority.

When Chu Muyu returned home, or rather when she saw certain people, she would feel extremely inferior in her heart.

And this kind of low self-esteem, she would not express it explicitly, but would instead seek a kind of emotional shelter from the people around her, to make her feel that she was loved, needed, and cared for.

This was also part of the reason she was always changing boyfriends; the main reason was still that she was promiscuous.

So making her realize her own mistakes was a very difficult thing.

Chu Muyu just believed that if others liked her, they had to endure her bad points and bear her emotional venting, even if they were not in a romantic relationship.

She believed that liking a person and giving for them was a matter of course, so she enjoyed others’ kindness to her with a clear conscience, without giving a corresponding response.

So Lin Xiaohuan’s devotion to her, in her eyes, was nothing more than a necessary part of a secret crush.

Lin Xiaohuan liked her, so she had to be bullied by her, had to endure her bad points.

What a willful and unreasonable selfish person.

Su Xin went out from the washroom and returned to the private room.

“What words do you have, that you want to say to me?”

The dishes on the table had already been cleared away, and the tabletop was clean.

“I indeed have some words I want to say to Auntie.”

Su Xin just liked talking to clever people. A clever person, without needing to say anything, with just one look from her, would know what she meant, able to grasp it intuitively.

“Auntie, did you send someone to follow me?”

“What? Could it be that someone is following you?”

Chu Yanxi had a face full of surprise.

“Last time when I was shopping, through a glass reflection, I saw that person taking pictures of me. Wherever I walked, he would follow. It turns out it wasn’t you, Auntie? I thought…”

“Why would you think it was me?”

“Because it never happened before… I thought, you were worried about me and Chu Muyu, so…”

Su Xin’s face showed a look of helplessness, while in her heart she was frantically roasting her. Acting quite the part, but Master Fourteen said that the person following me was sent by Chu Yanxi.

“You think I need to have someone follow you for this?”

Chu Yanxi’s face turned cold, looking not too pleased.

“I’m sorry Auntie…”

Seeing the somewhat uneasy expression on the girl’s face sitting opposite her, Chu Yanxi’s expression softened a little.

She found it somewhat amusing in her heart, but she could not show it on the surface, still maintaining a serious appearance.

“I didn’t expect you would think this way. When did you discover you were being followed?”

“A few days ago.”

“Then you should think carefully about whether you’ve encountered any people or matters. This issue cannot be ignored, it’s very chaotic and dangerous outside now.”

Chu Yanxi pondered for a moment and said, her fingers rubbing against each other for a while. “No, I’m very sure I haven’t, because I basically don’t run into anyone, so I remember every matter very clearly.”

Su Xin shook her head.

“Then could it be people and matters you’ve never noticed before? There are many bad people in society now, some have psychological illnesses. Being followed is very dangerous. Do you need me to hire a few people to follow you, to ensure your safety.”

“No need, Auntie, thank you.”

Su Xin quickly shook her head. What on earth is this person trying to do, isn’t sending one person to follow and secretly film me enough, she wants to add more?

“Then you should take down my contact information. If anything happens, you can call or send me a message to ask me for help.”

“Auntie… this… is too much trouble for you.”

Su Xin shook her head, but her expression held some doubt and gratitude.

“Are you thinking why I would be so kind? That I don’t look like someone who would speak to you like this?”

“Mmm…”

“I just don’t want to have regrets, that’s all. You’ve already told me about this matter, what if in the future… I would not forgive myself.”

Chu Yanxi’s words were beautifully spoken, and her expression was perfectly on point, but this could not cover up the fact that she had concealed that she was the one who sent someone to spy on Su Xin and had even righteously obtained Su Xin’s contact information.

“Alright, thank you Auntie.”

Su Xin smiled; at this moment, not only could she not angrily slap the table and say mmp¹, she also had to cooperate with the other party’s performance, revealing a somewhat happy expression.

“Also, I am not worried about the matter between you two.”

Chu Yanxi said leisurely.

“Do you think that the two of us can never be together? Because we are both girls?”

“But it’s not that.”

Chu Yanxi shook her head, she was not discriminatory.

“Eh…?”

“I’m not discriminatory, they are no different from normal people.”

Regardless of gender, being able to hold hands with the one you love and walk under the sun is a right we possess as human beings.

Chu Yanxi thought this way; anyway, two girls being together would not get them sick. Reasonably speaking, if all women went to do ji², and excluding the route of blood transmission, women would simply not get AIDS at all.

“Anyway, we can’t be together in the future anymore. There’s no possibility between us. Auntie, please rest assured.”

“Auntie, I’ll be leaving first, goodbye.”

“Goodbye, if anything comes up, remember to contact me. Regardless of how your relationship with Muyu is, the matter between you and her does not hinder the two of us from communicating. You should know my relationship with Muyu, don’t be too hesitant. If there’s trouble, you must tell me.”

“Okay.”

Su Xin nodded. Does Chu Yanxi mean that she and she admires her? No matter what Chu Muyu does, it has nothing to do with her?

Su Xin truly did not feel that Chu Yanxi cared that much about Chu Muyu. She just found it strange; it was one thing for Chu Yanxi to have people watch Chu Muyu to prevent her from causing trouble, but why did she also need someone to follow her?

Su Xin walked out of the restaurant, and from the side, Chu Muyu walked out.

“Are you okay? My mother didn’t make things difficult for you, did she.”

“Auntie is understanding and reasonable, how could she make things difficult for me.”

Chu Yanxi’s acting skills are profound and she is thick-skinned, simply shameless to the point of being foul.

“That’s good… Are you going home, let’s go back together.”

“Whatever you want. Right, I want to tell you something.”

“What?”

“The contract we signed with the landlord is about to expire, I don’t plan to renew it.”

“You’re going to move out?”

“Change places to live.”

“Because of me? You want to get far away from me that much?”

Su Xin did not speak, taking it as a tacit agreement.

“Lin Xiaohuan, you…”
