But I fell in love with you - Chapter 86


But I fell in love with You 

Chapter 86: Ex girlfriend



"What kind of twists and turns?" 


Yang Nainai felt her heart drop. She looked at Huo Yixuan, but he had already screened off his emotions so she did not know how he felt about this at all.


The destiny reader shuddered all of a sudden and said with a smile: 


"It's not a big problem, but 


Numerous hills and river valleys looms,


Concealing paths, creating doubt,


As the willow darkens and flower blooms,


Another village unveils ahead. [1]


My dear guests, both of you are young, so if you have any misunderstandings, or something that will make you unhappy enough to quarrel, take a second to calm down, and talk it over with one another, then just let the dispute go."


Huo Yixuan smiled then gave the reader some money without saying much before dragging Yang Nainai away.


Yang Nainai was worried so she asked him in a delicate tone, 


"Are you upset? You don't need to feel this way since it's just a bunch of superstitious nonsense anyway. Don't take his words to heart."


Huo Yixuan gave her an unperturbed grunt and didn't seem to act like he cared that much about the reading. Yet no matter how she tried to dismiss it, Yang Nainai still felt that he still had some worries ailing his mind but he just refused to speak about it. She didn’t know how to delve into that topic either so she just let him hold her hand while they exited the temple.


When they arrived at the gates, they saw a few couples stopping on the temple steps. The girlfriends were showing their obvious displeasure at their tired boyfriends because they had all failed to complete the challenge. This caused their heated voices to be raised and it disturbed the peaceful silence of the temple!


Their eyes then turned sharply towards Huo Yixuan as he emerged from the temple’s gates while holding Yang Nainai's hand. They just glared at them bitterly with their unhappy gazes.


Yang Nainai had to lower her head like a convicted criminal to avoid their murderous stares.


Huo Yixuan on the other hand, didn’t even let them bother him at all as he arrogantly strutted past. He just made sure that Yang Nainai had secured her seat belt before shutting her door and walked to the driver’s side of the car to drive them both back home.


They spent their days after that in relative normalcy. Every morning, Huo Yixuan would wait patiently for Yang Nainai to go to school together and like a clockwork, he would wait outside her classroom to send her back home every evening too. Yet Yang Nainai still felt like something was wrong because Huo Yixuan now became more domineering than he was before.


In the past, she still had some free time to do whatever she wanted, but when they came back from the temple, she didn’t even have the time to touch her camera at all, let alone having even the slightest opportunity to take handsome guys’ pictures to earn her pocket money.


Huo Yixuan only reminded her in that arrogant nature of his that they had to study hard and shut off any distractions before their upcoming college entrance exams.


The biggest irony was that, as soon as her Aunt Flo left, Huo Yixuan used the guise of tutoring her to snatch her away from her mother’s eyes and spent the whole time fucking her pussy while teaching her. He never even allowed her to shut her legs properly as their debauched sessions lasted late into the night.


In Yang Nainai's eyes, Huo Yixuan really had the strongest self-control because he managed his time superbly like a well oiled machine. 


Even though he had as much homework as she did, he still managed to fit in his exercise schedule and drag her to bed as often as he could.


Yang Nainai was often so tired that she could even fall asleep in class. If her grades were not improving then the teacher would probably have called her parents in for a chat.


Christmas was fast approaching, so when Huo Yixuan said that he had to settle some issues back home, Yang Nainai immediately took the opportunity to drag her best friend out to choose a gift for him.


The moment the revolving doors swept them both inside the mall, festive Christmas songs filled the air, while a huge Christmas tree stood in the center of the foyer. It was decked out fully in all kinds of shiny accessories, infecting the atmosphere with its joyous spirit.


Promotions and discounts were splashed prominently across every shop window her eyes landed on. It drew large crowds of shoppers, both male and female alike, while couples weaved in and out of those shops hand in hand.


"It's not even Christmas yet, why are they all out? They are so heartless that they can't even leave an available path for single dogs like me to experience happiness for once!" 


Ma Shanshan complained bitterly while she slurped at her favorite bubble milk tea. She then asked Yang Nainai, 


"Why isn't Huo Yixuan accompanying you this time?" 


“He went back home because he had to settle some things there. He had to take a week off school too." 


Yang Nainai stopped at the men's clothing department and suddenly recalled the time when she had came to this particular store to choose his clothes with him before. Her steps unconsciously gravitated to that direction as she wanted to see if she could buy something that would suit him there.


Ma Shanshan immediately tugged her on the back of her collar, 


"Don't be so impulsive, the clothes there costs at least a thousand yuan. Are you sure that you can really afford it?"


Yang Nainai’s body froze at her words. She wasn’t interested at all when Huo Yixuan took her here, so she never even caught a glimpse of the price tags. This only solidified the fact that Huo Yixuan is indeed a pampered young master who spends his money mindlessly.


Since they have gotten in a relationship together, he had always acted like he was never short of money at all.


His brother also acted like a domineering CEO too. He exuded a kind of debonair swagger that an ordinary person can't even begin to replicate.


Yang Nainai suddenly fell deep into her thoughts. How rich was her boyfriend's family exactly?


It didn’t matter what was in her mind because Ma Shanshan chose that exact moment to drag the distracted Yang Nainai in the other direction. She nagged her as she walked, 


"You don't need to spend so much money even if you wanna buy gifts for that person, right?"


"Besides, he doesn’t look like the kind of boy who likes to receive clothes as gifts too. Shouldn’t you buy gifts boys usually like?"


"What kind of gifts?" Yang Nainai asked her in a puzzled tone.


"Of course the newest craze for boys nowadays would be gaming credits or even the gaming props inside their wish lists!" 


Ma Shanshan talked like she had a lot of experience in this area, but Yang Nainai just shook her head.


"He doesn't like those things." 


Huo Yixuan had a blasé attitude when it came to games. He would play them from time to time but would never get obsessed with them. He had said once that little games like these are just good enough to fill up his idle time and it was not worthy enough to waste his time and effort on. He also added that only fools would fall for their money grabbing schemes. 


Yang Nainai couldn't help admiring his restraint on this, but she was a little worried because Huo Yixuan's hobby seemed to be insanely more expensive than that.


"How about airplane models or a photo album of his favorite female stars?" Ma Shanshan suggested again.


Airplane models? Yang Nainai tried to ask him once about this but what did Huo Yixuan reply her again that day?


Ah!


Huo Yixuan had said, “It's not as if I don't own a real plane so why do I need a fake one for?”


As for female stars...


No way, she will not create a whole new love rival for herself! Hmmph!


She kept revising the suggestions over and over inside her head, before her eyes finally widened at the sight of a bookstore.


"What's the matter?" Ma Shanshan asked her curiously.


"I suddenly remembered that he used to tell me how much he admired the detective mystery novels of a British author called, what was it again...oh, it’s Agatha[2]."


Ma Shanshan just scrunched up her face a little in distaste. She thought that Yang Nainai would probably be better off if she gave him something from the latest popular female idol.


Yang Nainai ignored her as she beelined straight to the novels section to rummage through the books there but she still couldn't find what she was looking for.


"Did you remember it wrongly?" 


Ma Shanshan suddenly felt that the hobbies of male gods were really weird.


Yang Nainai shook her head, "Even if I could find it, giving him that book alone might not be special enough."


"Then how special do you want it to be? It's good enough that you have the heart to give a boy a gift, but aren’t you a little too picky about it? Are you trying to keep him to only parade him around on the New Year's day[3]?" Ma Shanshan teased her.


Yang Nainai smiled but didn’t say anything. She turned around and was about to step into an elevator when she almost bump head first onto someone.


"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Are you alright?"


"Are you blind? I..." 


Zhao Rou’an was stunned when she saw Yang Nainai.


Yang Nainai froze on the spot too and her gaze widened in surprise as her eyes laid on the woman beside her.


She had seen this person before, and it seems as if she was somehow connected to Huo Yixuan too.


Her mind instantly replayed the scene where she had seen this person from afar. This person had been in the middle of some kind of dubious entanglement with Huo Yixuan that night. She even stopped to watch them both argue out of curiosity.


There was even another time where she had accidentally stumbled upon her posing next to Huo Yixuan in his photo album.


She didn't ask him when she saw it because she did not want to get in a serious long term relationship with Huo Yixuan then. At that time, she just kept finding numerous ways to get rid of him as soon as possible, but now, Yang Nainai's vulnerability was perched at a precarious edge.


"You are Huo Yixuan's new girlfriend?" The other girl spoke first.


Yang Nainai stood even more rigidly as she nodded and said yes.


The woman looked her up and down then sighed. 


"Hello, I'm his ex-girlfriend, Liu Mi."


"What do you want?" 


Ma Shanshan asked nervously as she took a protective stance for Yang Nainai.


It was never good news when an ex arrived at the current girlfriend’s doorstep.


Liu Mi was naturally pretty. She exuded a charming feminine aura of a confident woman. She had a stunning pair of long legs which instantly reduced Yang Nainai to a short little melon[4] and it caused her to immediately lose all her self-confidence when she came face to face with her.


Liu Mi looked deeply into Yang Nainai’s eyes and said, 


"Can you have a chat with me?"



Translation corner:

[1] 山穷水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一村: A poem extracted from one of Song Dynasty’s classical work: Mountain Expedition to the Western village. It means that if something seems too hard/troublesome to complete then you might need to use another method/ way to look at it before finding the real answer.

[2] If I am not mistaken, she might have been looking for an Agatha Christie novel. She was well known for her detective thrillers and her most notable work was ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. Her wiki page is here

[3] 留着过年, Keep to spend it on the new year is a slang used in mainland China to put an emphasis on how ridiculous something is if you put too much effort in it. Usually people will use this slang to ask the other person to break up with someone, so Shanshan was mocking Nainai that she was trying too hard so that she could use him then dump him on new year's day so she doesn't have to waste more effort on him anymore. 

[4] 小矮瓜 - Short little melon. It’s a slang to describe a short man/woman/boy/girl.
