Idiot In Love - 26 Chapter 140

The four of them ate in silence, and their seat was like how it usually is; Wu Chen and Yi Fei sat next to each other, and the same goes to NaNa and Jun Liu.

NaNa and Yi Fei did not stay long in Jun Liu’s place because they needed to go home to unpack their thing. Both of the teachers need to prepare themselves for school reopening the next day.

Wu Chen sent both ladies to their home and NaNa being an understanding junior, left Yi Fei and Wu Chen to have some quality time inside the car. When NaNa was out of sight, Wu Chen started speaking.

“Fei Fei, aren’t you going to ask when are we going to get married?” Wu Chen thought women liked this kind of things like planning about the wedding and similar stuff. It’s been a few days since he proposed to Yi Fei but after that Yi Fei did not mention anything about it. Shouldn’t she show a little bit of excitement for their future?

“I am going to, but when I think about it, I haven’t mingled with your parents long enough. I meet your dad once and your mother thrice. Your parents and I should meet each other a few more times to get to know each other. What if they are not satisfied with me? That would be bad.”

Wu Chen didn’t like the sound of ‘not satisfied’ coming out from Yi Fei. He chose her to be his bride. For him, she was the best thing he could ever imagine. No one could ever change his mind about Yi Fei.

Yi Fei seemed to know what’s inside Wu Chen’s mind. She took Wu Chen’s hand and put it on her cheek.

“I want to get along with everyone. I want everyone to be happy so that you don’t have to choose to side with whom because everyone is nice to each other. I want to live with a family who is kind to each other.”

Yi Fei is a simple girl. She doesn’t need much in her life. She only needs love and happiness, and just enough money to keep living.

Wu Chen couldn’t help but be amazed at Yi Fei. At some time, she will be playful and random, while some other time, she’ll change into a serious and mature woman. Yi Fei always surprised him, and that made him anticipate what kind of person can Yi Fei changed into next time.

That scene supposed to be a serious and romantic scene but Yi Fei being Yi Fei, she had to ruin the moment with her randomness.

“We must simply have courage and be kind, by Cinderella 2015.”

Wu Chen twitched his lips, and he pinched Yi Fei’s cheek. How could she quote Cinderella during their serious discussion? She even cited it in APA style reference.

Then Yi Fei continued rambling how people in the world nowadays tend to be unkind to each other. Wu Chen listened patiently for her ramblings to stop because it was kind of amusing to hear such things from someone who always plays around when she was with him.

At the end of the discussion, Yi Fei and Wu Chen decided that they needed more time to get to know each other’s family before planning for their marriage. Frankly, Wu Chen wanted to get married quickly, but Yi Fei told him that ‘everything will be beautiful in its time.’

Yi Fei went up to NaNa’s and her house after waving and blowing flying kisses to Wu Chen. When she reached her front door, she saw that NaNa was squatting down in front of the door with a sad face.

Yi Fei thought that NaNa was sad because she forgot about her keys again. She wanted to tease NaNa about it, but when NaNa looked at her with a tragic expression, Yi Fei didn’t have the heart to tease her.

Yi Fei squatted down with NaNa. Both of them could talk when they were inside the house, but Yi Fei didn’t know why she had to squat down with NaNa too.

“Yi Fei, do you know that we had a new neighbor?” NaNa kept on looking at the door of the house opposite to them.

“How would I know? I just reach our house too. Who might it be? Is that why you look so sad?” Yi Fei joined NaNa to look at the door the opposite of their house. As if staring at the door will make the door opened.

“I forgot my keys, and the neighbor greeted me” NaNa was scribbling something on the floor. “Also, Ah Jun said that he’d text me, but he didn’t. I’m sad.”

Yi Fei joined NaNa scribbling invisible writing on the floor. She tried to understand the real reason why NaNa was upset but she couldn’t so she asked again.

“Why are you sad? I don’t understand” Yi Fei stood up because she was tired of scribbling. Before NaNa could answer her, the opposite door opened and a young guy walked out from the door.

The guy is quite good looking, but when compared to Wu Chen and Jun Liu, the guy looked dull.

The previously squatting NaNa stood up abruptly that she staggered a bit before she could reach her balance. “Yi Fei, let’s go in. We have a lot to do” There was a trace of panic in her voice.

Yi Fei didn’t question NaNa, but she took out her key quickly and unlocked the door, but she heard footsteps were coming to their way. Yi Fei didn’t know why, but she was started to get panic too.

“We meet again, NaNa. This must be your housemate” The new guy approached them. He extended his hand to Yi Fei for a handshake. Yi Fei was contemplating whether she should take the hand or not because her instinct told her not too. The new guy was bad news.

Slightly embarrassed that Yi Fei did not take his hand, the new guy put his hand in his pants pocket. He offered them a sweet smile, but Yi Fei got goosebumps from that. Meanwhile, NaNa was not even looking at the guy.

The only thing left for them to do was to turn the doorknob and entered their house, then after that, they will be free from the new guy, but Yi Fei was stuck contemplating whether she needed to entertain the new guy or not.

Everything depends on NaNa now. So, NaNa turned the doorknob and turned to face the new neighbor.

“Yi Fei and I have a lot of things to prepare. I see that you want to go somewhere. You should get going Zi Yi.”

NaNa pinched Yi Fei’s waist, and that jolted her out of her dilemma. Yi Fei nodded once and entered their house. The new guy did not even get to say something else, and the door of the house was already closed on him.

Even inside the house, Yi Fei was trying so hard to think of the new guy. The name Zi Yi seemed to ring a bell to her. She remembered hearing something about a person named Zi Yi, but she couldn’t recall where. Yi Fei had a suspicion. It was rare for NaNa to talk about guys except for handsome guy and her ex-fiancé.

“That new guy is not the same Zi Yi like your ex-fiancé Zi Yi, right?” Yi Fei was staring right through NaNa’s eyes, hoping that her suspicion is not right.

“Meow! That’s right” NaNa confirmed Yi Fei’s suspicion with a line from Pokemon but without any expression.

“Wow, life is a bitch huh?” Yi Fei couldn’t help but think about how their life was following the mainstream novels out there. Yi Fei had to check for clues, in case they were trapped in a fantasy world like the Korean Drama, W Two Worlds.

In a typical rom-com drama, the storyline will always go like this:

When the main characters were in love with each other and right after they get together, there will be an ex-girlfriend and ex-boyfriend suddenly emerged out of nowhere to break the bond. As if they could sense if the main characters were taken or in love.

When the main characters were single, nobody like them. When they were in a relationship, suddenly everyone came to ruin the relationship. If that’s not the bitch, Yi Fei didn’t know what is.

“Why is he here? Don’t tell me he moved here to pursue you?” Yi Fei tapped her chin; she was thinking hard.

“I don’t think so. When I reach our door, he was about to enter his house, but when he saw me, he went over to talk for a while. He said that he has something he needed to work on in City L. He was renting out the house for only a month. Out of all the housing area in City L, he picked one right beside our house. Very unlucky” NaNa sprawled on the sofa.

“Do you think he picked the house next door because of you?” Yi Fei stood at the end of the sofa.

“I don’t know, and I don’t care” NaNa continued lying on her stomach.

“NaNa, you should do the flower bath ritual for good luck. I know a place with a lot of flowers you can pick” Yi Fei tried to elevate NaNa’s mood because no matter how much NaNa wanted to deny it, she knew that NaNa was affected a little bit when she saw her former lover moved into the house next door.

NaNa thanked Yi Fei. Her mood was much better. But it was only temporary. When she checked her phone for messages from Jun Liu, she had a new message from an unknown number.

“I’m not familiar with this city. Can you suggest a few good places for dinner?”
