“Sit there.” Fang Daichuan pointed at random places.
Li Sinian’s room was not that big and maybe Ding Zihui deliberately avoided suspicion or what, so she chose the bay window farthest from Fang Daichuan to sit.
Fang Daichuan didn’t take it to heart. He smiled casually, turned around and brought two wine glasses. While pouring wine into the glasses, he asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to ask Li Sinian, who did he check last night?” Ding Zihui asked casually, looking normal.
At that moment, he didn’t know why, but Fang Daichuan’s heart suddenly got cold. He collected himself, lowered his head and continued pouring wine, quietly asking: “Why are you asking?”
Ding Zhui’s fingers twisted the corners of her coat: “I, I was afraid and thought it would be good to ask to see who it was, to have a precaution in mind.”
Seeing that he did not say anything, Ding Zhui tilted her head and tried to examine his expression. When she noticed his gaze, Ding Zihui bit her lower lip and added, “I wanted to ask Li Sinian, but I didn’t know he wasn’t here, but you know him so well, so I thought I will just ask you.”
Fang Daichuan nodded, turned around and handed her a glass of wine.
He also picked up the wine glass, leaned lazily on the edge of the table, and looked at Ding Zihui with a smile: “Then you are wrong, Li Sinian and I are just superficial, we are actually at odds. He has been guarding against me.”
He didn’t notice it himself but his actions and demeanour at the moment were very similar to Li Sinian.
Ding Zihui took a sip of wine, nodded, said, “I know, in this game, everyone should be on guard against each other…”
The two were silent for a while.
Ding Zihui raised her eyes and glanced at Fang Daichuan quickly: “Your shoulder… is it alright?”
Fang Daichuan look down and saw that the wine on his chest had dried up, leaving traces mixed with blood, clung to his skin and his pants were wet. He was a little embarrassed to be seen by a girl at this moment. He picked up a nightgown at the head of the bed and put it on.
“A little injury, don’t worry about it.” He said and tied the belt around his waist.
Ding Zihui nodded.
“I didn’t mean to do anything,” Ding Zihui looked out of the window, her eyes blank, as if she didn’t dare to look directly at him and she didn’t seem to dare to look directly at herself, “I just want to find an ally, it is tough being alone.”
He heard Ding Zihui say again: “I have also looked for you, but unfortunately you have already chosen Li Sinian.”
She turned around and smiled at Fang Daichuan. The smile was soft and helpless, with a bitterness that could not be expressed in a thousand words.
Fang Daichuan was completely stunned: “Don’t talk nonsense, when did you find me?”
Ding Zihui shook her head and smiled bitterly: “I hinted at it three times. The first time I took the identity card to you, you and Li Sinian were together*. The second time was at the beach, I told you all the information I saw at night**, you turned around and told Li Sinian. The third time… was in my room…***”
(T/N : On chapter 18, chapter 29 and chapter 31)
Needless to say, in the middle of the third night, Fang Daichuan hurried out to find Li Sinian and left the girl alone in the room.
“You came knocking on my room door in the middle of the night, I thought…” Ding Zihui tone is a little helpless, Fang Daichuan’s ears were flushing red and only now did he realise the misunderstanding when he was in a hurry and knocked on the girl’s door in the middle of the night.
Ding Zihui smiled bitterly and said, “But then you left, you jumped into the sea to save Li Sinian.”
This is fate, Fang Daichuan sighed deeply.
“Then you should tell from beginning,” he looked embarrassed, raised his hand and rubbed his nose, took off the fear and unconscious disguise of being a big enemy and reverting to his true self, “I’m stupid, you should just said that you want to form an alliance, it’s fine, let’s get into it…”
“It makes no difference,” Ding Zihui lowered her head and smiled, “Li Sinian won’t give me a chance to speak out. When you jumped into the sea to save him, I knew you also wouldn’t give me a chance.”
“I’m just unworthy of you,” Ding Zihui drink the glass of wine in one go, the more than 40% alcohol choked into her throat, her whole face was flushed red but her eyes were clear and penetrating as she said, “You trust him so much, in order to save him, you jumped into the sea for him, but he is on guard and always keeps eyes on you all the time. I am unworthy of you.”
Fang Daichuan curled his lips into a smile, and drank the wine in the glass: ” Coincidentally, I’m also unworthy of you and Du Wei is not a good person.”
The conversation did not go anywhere, Ding Zihui is a smart girl, she smiled and said nothing, turned around and walked out.
“Beware of Li Sinian,” Ding Zihui did not hold back before opening the door, “May you live until the end and go back safely.”
Outside the door, Li Sinian pressed his right hand on the door and was about to ring the doorbell.
Ding Zihui: “…”
Fang Daichuan snorted with laughter as he pulled the baffled Li Sinian in and waved a hand at Ding Zhui: “Thank you, I wish you the best of luck and let’s go back together.”
Li Sinian didn’t ask what Ding Zihui told him, and Fang Daichuan didn’t ask him what he said to Yang Song. The two wounded and sick took turns taking a bath in tacit understanding, and then lay down on the big bed.
The latex pillow is very soft and fits the curve of the spine, Fang Daichuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
When he didn’t have a chance to rest on the bed, he was dog-tired and wished that he could fall asleep in the next second. But when he actually lay in bed, he don’t know why but he can’t sleep.
Li Sinian pinched the sheet with his fingers, picked it up and rubbed it lightly with his index and middle fingers.
“You……”
“I……”
The two spoke at the same time.
Li Sinian stiffened, Fang Daichuan closed his mouth.
The room was instantly filled with awkwardness.
The last time he was this awkward seemed to be when shooting a shower gel advertisement with the company’s female actress, Fang Daichuan couldn’t help thinking. The female actress had a voluptuous body, a beautiful temperament, and it is a commercial that showing the product but did not reveal the body nor taking off any clothes, however the style between her eyebrows and body was not something he, a senior magician*, could resist.
(T/N : So I checked, double, triple check but I did not find how old Chuan’er is. But as far as I know and I also check by using Baidu, magician should refer to 30 years old virgin but I am sure Chuan’er aren’t that old…Anyway just a note, I means, that is what author wrote and honestly since Chuan’er is a witch here, him being a magician seems fit the story lol)
During the break time, the female actress lay on her back beside him smoking a cigarette, noticed his embarrassment, sneered, and lit one for him.
Looking back on that night when his heart swayed*, Fang Daichuan’s cheek heated up and he felt like he was going to be in trouble. Sure enough, within a short while, the heat from the cheek slowly spread, his chest was hot. The alcohol seeped into the blood vessels from the wound, making the blood dance in the various organs.
(T/N : On Chapter 55)
“I had a chat with Yang Song.” Seeing that he didn’t speak, Li Sinian took the initiative to talk, “She questioned me about who I checked last night, I said that I checked the little boy and he was a werewolf, you remember not to say anything.”
Fang Daichuan was still immersed in his inexplicable imagination. His mind was jumping around and he didn’t know what Li Sinian said, so he just randomly nodded.
“So…” Li Sinian asked tentatively, “What did you and Ding Zihui talk about?” He didn’t know why, but his attitude was a little cautious, probably because he was thirsty, Fang Daichuan saw him licked his lips.
Fang Daichuan couldn’t hold back and also licked his lips: “She is here to find you, she also wants to ask who you checked last night.” He hesitated whether to say the next words, glanced at Li Sinian, finally continued, “She, she also said that she had come to see me three times, but she had never got a chance to form an alliance with me. She had no choice but to go to Du Wei…”
Li Sinian also looked a little distracted, his curly hair was wet and drooping softly in front of his forehead and his sharp eyes were now half closed, his golden brown eyelashes hanging quietly on his eyelids. Perhaps it was the light, but his pupils were dilated widely and when he gazed at Fang Daichuan, there was something inexplicable on it. It is the kind of longing gaze that contains affection and deep attachment.
Seeing his gaze makes Fang Daichuan’s mind go blank for three seconds.
“She…” He calmed down and looked away before continuing. “She said, I didn’t give her a chance. She knew it was hopeless when I jumped into the sea to save you,.”
Li Sinian was amused and smiled lazily.
“So what do you think?” He changed his position to lie on his side, his face facing Fang Daichuan, and closed his eyes, half asleep, “If it had been someone else who had fallen, not me, would you have jumped in to save him?”
He asked in a careless manner, but Fang Daichuan was thinking seriously.
He thought about countless what-if-scenario in his mind. At one time, Ding Zihui said, “My mother committed suicide” by the seaside reef; at one time, the female actress’s red lips spit out a smoke ring in his ear.
“Nobody with my antidote in their hand, would choose to jump into the sea.” He looked at the chandelier on the ceiling, the crystal pendant lost the refraction of the light and quietly became transparent. He turned his head to look at Li Sinian’s closed eyes, “You always act so smart that others don’t dare to trust you, but actually you’re not much smarter than me.”
Li Sinian seemed to be asleep, but he didn’t. He smiled slightly and shook his head gently.
Fang Daichuan listened to his breathing, and gradually became sleepy. The moment he fell asleep, he heard Li Sinian laugh: “Stupid dog, who is like you.”
A stupid dog is a stupid dog. Fang Daichuan was too lazy to argue with him. He wrinkled his nose and said casually, “Woof Woof.”
