Chapter 1247: Tell Me, How Am I Weird?
The more Wen Xinya thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. She suddenly sat up straight and glowered at Si Yiyan. Before even putting on her clothes, she barked sternly. “Get up!”
Si Yiyan sat up on the bed and grabbed the pajamas which he then draped across her body. “What’s wrong, baby?”
Si Yiyan finally noticed that there was something amiss with her and reckoned that she must have been through some unhappy incidents during the gala.
Wen Xinya exclaimed calmly, “Look at me!”
Si Yiyan burst into laughter and gazed at her obediently with l.u.s.t and affection in his eyes. She was blus.h.i.+ng red with an alluring gaze in her eyes.
Wen Xinya reached her beautiful and slender fingers out. Pointing at her nose, she asked sternly, “Have I got no brains nor brawn?”
Indeed, Wen Xinya could not tolerate being personally attacked at all. The thought of Du Ruoxin’s harsh remarks made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She felt that she and Du Ruoxin must have been enemies in their previous lifetime. Touchwood… I didn’t even know her in my previous lifetime.
Si Yiyan observed her expression carefully, finding that she looked rather solemn and serious. Since she wasn’t joking, why would she ask such a question? He said, “You’re smarter than most people and no one can compare to you in terms of intelligence and brilliant strategy-planning skills. Besides, your height and physical proportions are all just right. The person who criticized you must be jealous of you.”
After giving it some thought, Si Yiyan reckoned that she must have been criticized that way during the gala.
Wen Xinya thought about the 1.7m Du Ruoxin and said to herself, She may be tall and slim, but she’s so flat-chested and shapeless. She’s definitely just jealous of my figure. She then asked, “Am I a weirdo?”
Du Ruoxin called me a weirdo, but I really don’t know what’s so weird about me. That was obviously a personal attack.
Si Yiyan stared at Wen Xinya, whose face was as red as a tomato. She was obviously extremely infuriated. He frantically comforted. “Do you know what a weirdo means? In an ancient story, weirdos are known to be beautiful.”
Wen Xinya’s anger vanished.
Si Yiyan continued, “Actually, weirdos are just rare and special. Others are complimenting you for being outstanding and beautiful. Why did you get angry?”
Wen Xinya finally smiled and said with pouted lips, “Tell me then, am I strange or not?”
Si Yiyan was indeed the best at comforting her.
What a question… Si Yiyan observed her expression carefully. Although she did not seem angry, he was worried about provoking her. “I think you’re strangely beautiful and ravis.h.i.+ng.”
I can’t go wrong with giving her a compliment!
Wen Xinya glared at him and said, “Psht, you’re stealing a line.”
However, deep down, she was extremely satisfied with his answer.
Si Yiyan heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Wen Xinya pointed at her nose and asked, “Am I a narcissist?”
Si Yiyan pulled her into his arms and chuckled. “Who would dare to say that about you when I’m here with you?”
He wished he could show her his heart and give it all to her.
Wen Xinya was filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling but began to feel a little frustrated again after being reminded of Du Ruoxin. “You said that I’m intelligent, but why did someone call me stupid?”
Wen Xinya then flaunted her teeth at Si Yiyan like a feisty kitten that looked extremely stern. It was not a good word at all because, in her previous lifetime, she fell into someone else’s trap and ended up dying because of her stupidity.
Hence, ever since her rebirth, she had been trying her best to avoid making stupid mistakes, for fear that she would make a wrong step.
However, Du Ruoxin’s remarks had still affected her and she could not help but begin suspecting if she was really stupid. After all… she indeed did not realize at the start of the gala that Xia Ruya had planned to poison her. Hence, she felt rather uncomfortable about being fooled by Du Ruoxin.
Si Yiyan hurriedly tried to comfort her. “You’re the smartest girl I’ve ever seen. How are you stupid…”
Wen Xinya could not register his words at all. She lamented. “It’s too much of her. Not only did she call me stupid, she even told me to drink more walnut and pig’s brain soup to nourish my brain. It’s obviously a personal attack.”
Wen Xinya felt incredibly indignant.
Si Yiyan frantically said, “The Chinese believe that if you eat a brain, it would help nourish the brain, but that’s not backed by science. She must have drunk plenty of walnut and pig’s brain soup. Otherwise, how did she know that it helps with nouris.h.i.+ng the brain?”
Although the theory had been proven with some studies and doctors found that bone marrow soup would help with healing fractures…
Wen Xinya continuously complained to Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan continuously tried to comfort her and silently bore a grudge against Du Ruoxin.
After airing her woes to Si Yiyan, Wen Xinya felt much more at ease. “Actually, Du Ruoxin may be unapproachable, but she’s not that detestable.”
Actually, she did admire Du Ruoxin to a certain extent. Although Du Ruoxin was arrogant and sharp-tongued, she truly did not harbor ill intentions against others. At the end of the day, Wen Xinya could not deny the fact that Du Ruoxin had indeed helped her during the gala, regardless of her motive.
Si Yiyan could tell from her reaction. Whenever Wen Xinya spoke about someone whom she truly detested, she would always be calm and rational instead of being frustrated and angst. Hence, she was feeling distraught and conflicted, clearly because she owed Du Ruoxin a favor.
Si Yiyan said, “I do have some ties with the Du Family, and you don’t have to feel bothered by the fact that Du Ruoxin has helped you because I was the one who instructed them to take care of you during the gala.”
He had long expected there to be chaos during the gala and hence, did not feel safe about letting Wen Xinya attend it alone.
Wen Xinya could not help but feel astonished. Previously, Si Yiyan had indeed mentioned that he would get someone to take care of her, but she did not quite take it to heart. “Oh, I see. You made me feel so disturbed for the entire day. Does that mean that you already know about what happened during the gala?”
Si Yiyan nodded and said, “I found out about it as soon as the gala ended.”
Wen Xinya had performed outstandingly during the gala and emerged victorious. Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin colluded together to spike Wen Xinya’s food, only to end up having their plans backfire. At last, Wen Xinya still managed to deal with them.
He knew about everything that happened to her during the gala.
