My Life with Narration-Chapter 288 - 286: Well Done

There are some people who seem born to argue. After every argument, they conduct a self-assessment, feeling they didn’t do their best. They even rehearse in their minds countless times how to handle similar situations. Clearly, Sun Mumu is one of these people.

As the saying goes, straightforward trash talk brings extreme enjoyment compared to the actions’ words. The frank expression is more pleasing, and one can’t deny it; the art of speech from a social renegade is just too much to love.

If her mouth could hitch a ride on a bike, it would probably get snatched up in seconds.

Little do they know how many people in reality get fuming mad after being scolded because they lack a good comeback?

For someone like Sun Mumu, if she doesn’t vent at the moment, she might get so upset that she can’t sleep at night, and this could persist for several days.

Her aggressiveness is no weaker than the sunflower’s language of flowers, and she has a short temper. Su Qing would call her the strongest verbal warrior in the planning department.

Didn’t you notice the normally introverted Lin Miaomiao smiling at this moment? Clearly, she’s very pleased right now. Although she doesn’t scold others, her friend does, and can protect her.

No wonder people say their personalities complement each other. It’s no surprise they can become good friends.

"Alright, Mumu, don’t stay mad any longer!"

"Silly Miaomiao, I was standing up for you, and here you are laughing carelessly. Let me tell you, that Wang Xing, you should stay away from him. When he said he’d only dated one girlfriend last time, I thought he was decent. Now it seems he’s no good." With that, she turned to Su Qing and continued, "And you! Didn’t you say he’s a good guy? What’s with this girlfriend? We’re all colleagues, yet you deceive us and even try to push Miaomiao into the fire pit?"

Su Qing: ...

Actually, Sun Mumu’s reasoning isn’t without merit. After all, back at the gathering, Wang Xing mentioned he only dated one girlfriend, and that was during college.

But who would’ve thought, this guy spent four years as a simp, and that girlfriend lasted only a month.

"You’ve misunderstood me. He indeed only had that one. But he pursued her for years only to find out she was a player, a real octopus. In the end, he turned over a new leaf! In other words, he’s quite loyal; he just had poor judgment in people!" Su Qing spread his hands and explained on his behalf.

"Then earlier, why didn’t he stand up for Miaomiao when that woman said those excessive things? I had to step in myself!"

"Uhh... it’s actually because I told him not to. That incident hit him hard, and now he doesn’t want to say a word to Jiang Mengting, blocking all contact information. They are strangers now; why get involved again? Besides, as two guys, it’s hard for us to say certain things. Didn’t I trust you to handle it? And didn’t he eventually stand in front of you?" To secure Old A’s happy future life, he could only speak positively for him; otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair.

Hearing this, Sun Mumu gave him a meaningful look, then thought a bit and realized it seemed true. Su Qing had even subtly signaled her to take action, and they had a well-coordinated performance, really in sync.

"Really?"

"Of course it’s true; if you don’t believe it, you can ask him yourself when he comes over!"

"Alright, I’ll trust you this time. But I didn’t expect you to coordinate with me so well. Next time I argue with someone, I’ll ask you to be my wingman!"

Su Qing: ...

He’d heard of wingmen for picking up women or men, but for arguing and cursing?

"Sorry for the inconvenience I’ve caused. Let’s find a time to gather again next time?"

Just then, Wang Xing, having handled the situation, caught up to explain.

Su Qing looked at him, full of relief in his eyes. He knew that Old A was truly over it this time. Seeing his total disregard for Jiang Mengting earlier, it was evident he genuinely didn’t care about her anymore.

That’s good; it saves future drama when he finds love or marries. It’s better to clear out all potential hazards now than to deal with such a mess later, which would be disgusting.

"No need to wait; let’s do it now. We didn’t eat well earlier; we were too busy chatting, especially Miaomiao, who drank a bellyful of beer and didn’t eat much!" Sun Mumu said directly.

Wang Xing: ???

Are girls this straightforward nowadays? It almost seems they fear he’d skip out on a meal.

"What would you like to eat?"

"This is a night market. Let’s just stroll around. There are lots of snacks; a stroll will fill us up. But you have to treat us!"

"No problem!"

Each stall along the night market had all sorts of snacks, and importantly, they were delicious and affordable. The four of them could eat plenty for under a hundred yuan, given that a portion of snacks was quite generous.

"Xiao Wang, what was with that girl? Your ex-girlfriend? Didn’t you say you’d only dated one?" Sun Mumu asked, her hands busy with a sausage in one and tofu in the other, her mouth full as she mumbled.

"Huh?"

"What do you mean ’huh’?" With a light thud, she gave herself a hit on her flat chest to help swallow, then stared blankly at Wang Xing.

If his answer wasn’t satisfactory, she’d be sure to say more bad things to Lin Miaomiao about Wang Xing, hopefully making her give up on him and stay away from a scumbag.

Faced with Sun Mumu’s intense gaze, Wang Xing instinctively glanced at him, asking with his eyes.

In response, Su Qing laughed, "Women are gossipy. You might as well tell the simplified version of your years as a simp with ’The Years I Spent as a Simp’.’

Of course, he knew the story firsthand, not only Wang Xing’s background but Sun Mumu’s intent for asking. As the mediator, he naturally had to balance the situation.

Hearing this, Wang Xing was at a loss for words, but thinking of what happened earlier, he figured the two girls got unjustly scolded, so they deserved to know. He briefly recounted his story with Jiang Mengting.

Of course, he skimmed over it but mentioned his experiences over the past few years and why they broke up.

After hearing it, Sun Mumu’s eyes widened, never expecting to hear such an explosive tale while out shopping.

She then stood on tiptoe, patted Old A’s shoulder, and with a big sister’s tone, said, "Little Wang, you’ve had it tough, carrying the weight for fellow men for so long!"

Wang Xing: "..."

"Exactly, that woman is so annoying! How could she do that?" Next to her, Lin Miaomiao also expressed her opinion. Seeing Wang Xing like this and hearing about his experiences made her heart ache.

[Simple-minded Lin Miaomiao, after hearing Wang Xing’s story, felt more that he was a good person, enhancing her view of him and wanting to protect him!]

Su Qing: ...

Great, another good person card, well done!
