Idiot In Love - 12 Chapter 126

As John had instructed her, NaNa blew off all the candles in one go.

Yi Fei who sat on NaNa’s seat at the VIP table stood up and clapped enthusiastically. She was NaNa’s biggest fan of the night.

The elders who sat on the table were entertained by Yi Fei especially NaNa’s parents. This was the first time that NaNa had a sleepover with her friends. Previously, during NaNa’s teenage years, she rarely mentioned a female friend. Now that she had a few supportive friends, they were quite happy.

Wu Chen felt that he had done the right thing by bringing Yi Fei to sit at their table. He could introduce Yi Fei to his parents properly, and he could keep his eyes on her. Wu Chen refused to let Yi Fei fend for herself in her table.

John could not be trusted when he was together with Yi Fei. Heck, Wu Chen could not even believe that Yi Fei won’t cause a problem though she was all by herself. If Yi Fei and John are together, they’ll surely do something unthinkable.

Ying Yue is still too young to understand everything done by the so-called adult on their table. Then, there’s Jun Liu who didn’t care about a lot of things. Even if he cares, he won’t show it through his face. Wu Chen felt that keeping Yi Fei close to him should be the safest choice.

At first, Yi Fei felt pressured to sit on the VIP table because the Chong and the Wu were sitting there like kings and queens. Yi Fei never dreams of being a queen. She was only a commoner, so she was worried that she might not be able to communicate well with the upper echelon.

Her mind changed when she saw Wu Chen’s mother waved at her energetically. She remembered that Wu Chen’s mother was cool the other day she met her. So Yi Fei was quite relieved that Wu Chen’s mother did not change drastically even in public.

In the dramas that she watched, Yi Fei realised that the rich people in the dramas are usually portrayed like they had a double personality. At one time, they’ll be good and treat people nicely. At one time, especially when they are in the presence of public eyes, they’ll change into someone ruthless that served as a warning to not mess up with them.

Yi Fei was not a rich lady or a drama’s screenwriter. She doesn’t know why people do that in the drama, but one thing she realised was, misunderstanding usually happens when they were not able to communicate their feeling better. With that in mind, Yi Fei was determined to talk well with the elders and charmed her way to their good side.

Since NaNa’s seat was occupied by Yi Fei, and she saw that Yi Fei mingled well with the elders, NaNa decided not to disturb them. She took the opportunity to walk towards her entourage of the night. Since Jun Liu was there, NaNa hoped that Yi Fei would stay at the VIP table and not return to her initial table so that NaNa could sit next to Jun Liu.

“Darling, good job on blowing all the candles at once. Now, you can get married in no time” John congratulated NaNa for blowing the candles. He took NaNa’s hand and shook it excitedly. NaNa sat next to Jun Liu and continued holding John’s hand without even glancing at Jun Liu besides her.

Jun Liu looked at the intertwined hand, and his mouth twitched in disapproval. Even though he Knew that John is not interested in women, Jun Liu felt that John should refrain himself from touching women casually especially NaNa. Jun Liu didn’t care if John touches Yi Fei; Wu Chen could deal with that himself.

Ying Yue didn’t understand the connection between candles and marriage, so she asked.

“John, if NaNa-Sama blows up all the candles, then she can get married?” By now, Ying Yue was so interested in the superstition, and whatever came out from John’s mouth. It’s like learning random things; exciting and entertaining.

John knew that Ying Yue admired Yi Fei for god knows what reason, so he realised that no matter what he said, as long as he put ‘according to Yi Fei’ at the beginning of his sentences, Ying Yue or perhaps, Jun Liu, will always believe him no matter what he says.

“According to Yi Fei…” John paused. He took a careful look of the faces in front of him. All three of them had their attention on him. John didn’t know what Yi Fei did to earn herself much trust from these people.

“If someone manages to blow up all the candles, then she or he will be married within a year” John finished his sentences with a sly smile. He looked at Jun Liu then he looked at NaNa alternately.

Upon hearing the things came out from John’s mouth, NaNa gave him the stink eyes. Yi Fei told her a different thing. Yi Fei told her to blow up all the candles because her wish could only come true if she blows all.

“John, you are lying. Yi Fei never mentioned anything about marriage and candles. She told me just now that my wish could only come true if I blow up all the candles. Also, how could I get married within a year? I don’t even have a boyfriend” NaNa touched the rose necklace on her neck unknowingly.

John drank all the wine in his glass in one go and laughed awkwardly. He was trying to bluff, but he got busted easily. He thought about what he should do to rectify the situation, and he kept on drinking from other people’s glass too.

“Yue Yue, I remembered I left something important in my car. Would you come with me to get it?” John brushed off NaNa’s question and acted as if he didn’t bluff. He winked at Ying Yue so that Ying Yue will get the hint.

Ying Yue was a smart girl. When she saw that John had been winking suspiciously at her, she got up and followed after John. Jun Liu stopped Ying Yue, but Ying Yue went over and whispered something to his ears. Jun Liu nodded and gave John a warning with his eyes.

The gossiper in NaNa came out because she saw something scandalous. NaNa knew that John is gay, but she was not sure whether John likes only guy or he would like a girl too; maybe he loves both, NaNa was not sure.

The music played at the background was quite loud, so NaNa had to lean towards Jun Liu if she wanted to talk to him. Despite the erratic thumping of her heart, NaNa’s determination to gossip was even more significant than her thumping heart. So, she leaned over to Jun Liu.

“Ah Jun, where are they going? Why would you trust John that easily, we should follow them to make sure that Ying Yue will be alright” NaNa said all that with a straight face as if her intention was pure.

By now, Jun Liu was used to the proximity between her and NaNa. He kept on staring at the necklace on NaNa’s neck.

NaNa suddenly remembered that she had not thanked Jun Liu for the gift.

“Thank you for this gift. I love this…” NaNa kept on touching the rose necklace, but she was more interested in John and Ying Yue now. “Now, we should go and check what they are doing right now.”

“That necklace looks good on you” Jun Liu looked at NaNa who was too close with him. Usually, he will use his forefinger to poke NaNa’s forehead and pushed her away from him. Since tonight is NaNa’s birthday, he will allow her to get close to him. Then, Jun Liu remembered about the wish.

“What’s your wish? We’ll toast to that” Jun Liu said everything casually as if he was not trying to dig anything from NaNa.

NaNa thought for a moment before replying. “Yi Fei said if I tell my wish to other people, my wish won’t come true.”

Jun Liu felt that his heart stuffed by something. He was a bit sad because it seemed as if he wasn’t that special after all.

“But since I know that my wish won’t come true anyway, I might as well tell people about it. I wish that I could get along with other people. Also, you might want to laugh at me for this, but seeing how my brother and Yi Fei are so happy, I also want to have someone who treats me like my brother treats Yi Fei” NaNa didn’t know why but it seemed as if the words came out of her words quickly.

NaNa raised her hand and asked the server to fill in her glass with red wine. She gulped the wine in one shot and asked for another refill. Since it was her birthday, she’ll be allowed to drink this much.

NaNa thought that it was always the same for her and Jun Liu. She’ll talk, and Jun Liu didn’t reply much. NaNa felt that she might have fun all by herself and returned to her room when she feels like she’s drunk.

“You won’t get someone like Chen for yourself” Jun Liu gestured at the server to stop pouring wine into NaNa’s glass. He smiled at NaNa.

From NaNa’s point of view, she interpreted the smile as if Jun Liu was mocking her. Even when today is her big day, Jun Liu won’t stop being savage. NaNa was about to get upset.

“Do you have to say that right to my face? I told you just now. I already know that my wish won’t come true, why are you rubbing salt onto my wound… “NaNa looked at the glass of wine in front of her. She reached out for the drink, but Jun Liu beats her for the drink.

Jun Liu took the glass and put it far away from NaNa. He’s happy because NaNa told him about her wish.

“Why are you getting upset for no reason?” Jun Liu wanted to tease NaNa.

After the wine was removed from her, NaNa became more upset. She didn’t want to deal with Jun Liu, so she got up to get away from him. Jun Liu held her hand, preventing her from doing so.

He saw that NaNa got upset, so Jun Liu had to stop teasing. He gestured for NaNa to sit back on her seat before passing her the glass of wine he took previously. NaNa took the glass begrudgingly.

“It is impossible for you to have someone like Chen because every people should be different” Jun Liu looked right into NaNa’s eyes.

“You won’t have someone like him because I am ME; I am different from him… And I am here” He raised his glass.

“Your wish will come true.”

Jun Liu clinked their glasses and said ‘cheers!’.
