"What does she have anything to do with me?!" Yan Chu answered in annoyance.
Mo Xi chuckled, "You know, you are a little strange now, right? You sound just like a young boy in love, just like designer Lu's second pair of clothing."
Yan Chu didn't know why but he just laughed as though it was the funniest thing in the world.
"HAHAHAHA! Me?! In love?! You must be kidding!"
"If that's what you think, then, alright. I won't try to convince you since you don't believe them either way."
Yan Chu was shocked that Mo Xi didn't bother to continue to 'convince' him otherwise because that's what she always does.
"Why aren't you trying to convince me?"
"Do you want me to convince you? I can if you want to."
Yan Chu raised his head a little and huffed, "I think it is more like you don't have anything that you can use to convince me."
"Alright. If that's what you think. You should know that the first stage is always denial. I think I have match-made more than enough couples to prove to you that my words are right most of the time. However, since you don't want to believe them, then go on. You will just take a very long time to get to where you supposed to be going, that's all. I wouldn't lose anything."
Yan Chu was rendered speechless for a moment because he didn't expect Mo Xi to really try to convince him after whatever they just said.
Yan Chu then laughed out again, "Yea. Right. Denial. Do you know what she did to me that day? She called me an impolite, pervert fellow, and she hit me! I must be nuts to fall in love with her! Crazy!"
Mo Xi let out a soft laugh when she heard Yan Chu's reply.
See! That's how you fis.h.!.+ That's how you get a fish to go on your hook!
"There's something called crazy in love and going nuts for you."
"HAHAHA! Too bad! I swear that I would never fall for her! Seriously! She called me a fre*king impolite pervert!"
"Sentence structure. For your information, she only called you an impolite pervert. She did not call you a fre*king impolite pervert. Phrasing matters. Besides, what did you do that made her call you an impolite pervert? I have known her for so long, and I know that she would never make up anything. She is someone without a filter. She speaks whatever that is on her mind at the instant. Whatever she feels, she speaks them out. She doesn't bother to hide. Hence, I am pretty sure you did something no less than what an impolite pervert would do."
"F*ck! I didn't do anything! h.e.l.lo! We are friends as well, alright. You are saying as though you and she are closer than you and I. Am I not your friend? Why do you not trust me? I am sure that I did not do anything to her!"
Yan Chu pouted his lips subconsciously again and started to pick his fingers.
"Stop picking your fingers," Mo Xi reminded Yan Chu because, as a leader, he should not be showing his habit or vulnerable sides to others.
Yan Chu stopped picking his fingers immediately and quickly grabbed a bottle of water to drink.
Mo Xi then spoke again, "You sure that you did not do anything to her? You are a hundred percent sure?"
Yan Chu wanted to say that he didn't, but he thought about what happened earlier on once again, and he suddenly thought that he was really in the wrong.
"I… I…"
Mo Xi looked forward while she leaned her head near Yan Chu as she spoke.
"Hmm, for you to be called a pervert, you probably went into the females' toilet, or you saw someone changing, right? Something along the lines of seeing or going places that a male shouldn't be looking at or going to."
Yan Chu couldn't even rebut Mo Xi because he entered the females' toilet though it was an accident.
"For you to be called impolite, you probably did something rude. For example, you were in the wrong, but you didn't apologize. Or something along the lines of scolding someone when you were in the wrong."
Yan Chu picked his fingers again when he heard Mo Xi's words, but before Mo Xi reminded him, he quickly stopped it.
Mo Xi let out a soft laugh when she saw Yan Chu's reaction.
"Didn't I tell you before that you cannot be impolite? You have to apologize whenever you are in the wrong."
Mo Xi had been correcting Yan Chu's weird habits and bad manners ever since he followed her to Country Y.
Initially, Yan Chu was always 'scolded' by Mo Xi because of his bad manners, such as not saying 'Thank you' or not respecting elders. He acted that way because he grew up in a poor environment, and his father had a negative influence on him, so he didn't really know what the right way to behave was.
Moreover, because of his ex-girlfriend's betrayal, his att.i.tude got worse for a while, and even though he followed Mo Xi over, he still pushed people away. That was his subconscious way of protecting himself from getting hurt further by other people. However, with Mo Xi and the others around, those walls that he built to protect himself were finally shattered, and that's how all of them could understand one another so well.
Yan Chu then looked at Mo Xi as though he was wronged, "I was called an impolite pervert because of you."
Mo Xi then looked into Yan Chu's eyes, and she finally knew what was going on.
"I am alright. You don't have to worry about me."
"How could I not be worried?!" Yan Chu whispered with anxiousness in his voice.
Mo Xi chuckled, "Alright. Alright. It's my fault for making you be called an impolite pervert. Can you please calm down now?"
