Chapter 158: Sometimes it's just that simple!

  The clear and melodious piano music echoed in the venue, making everyone feel as if they were intoxicated. All eyes were drawn to Bai Yujie's elegant figure. As the piece came to an end, Bai Yujie slowly stood up again, bowing to thank everyone. The white light beam that had been shining on Zhang Ziheng also disappeared. After all, one should never overdo things, and Bai Yujie still knew this point.

  The next performance, Bai Yujie changed into several different outfits, including a white elegant long gown, a black simple Western-style suit, and various stage costumes, looking like a versatile angel. After more than two hours, Bai Yujie ended the concert with a light and simple melody. Amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd in the gymnasium, she slowly left the stage.

  Coming out of the Workers' Gymnasium, Cheng Qing stretched and said casually: "It's really a waste of more than two hours, what is this? Obviously it's a piano performance, but it's made to look like a fashion show, so boring."

  "It's just that she's afraid others won't know how pretty she looks, so she keeps changing clothes and showing off." Deng Xin nodded in agreement.

  After they finished, the two of them looked at Wang Xue's reaction, but Wang Xue was expressionless, as if she didn't care. However, Li Wen Cheng and Xiao Tian couldn't take it anymore, gave them a cold stare, and said: "This woman really has a lot of problems, obviously she's jealous to death, yet she has to say something wrong about others, it's unbearable."

  Li Wencheng nodded and said, "Indeed, they wanted to show off, but unfortunately, they didn't have the capital for that."

  Deng Xin slightly furrowed her brow, suddenly twisting his ear and saying: "Who are you talking about? Who do you say doesn't have the capital? I just didn't want to show it off, if I wore those clothes, I would definitely look a hundred times better than her."

  "Yes, yes, you look great when you wear it, but can't you loosen your grip? It hurts so much, ouch!" Li Wencheng said painfully.

  Looking at Wang Xuemo's silent appearance, Zhang Ziheng took her hand and whispered in her ear: "I know you're feeling bad now, but after all, things have already happened, what can be done? Just don't get angry for now, my mom is on the side, who are you making that long face for?"

  Wang Xue gave him a sideways glance, then shook off his hand and walked over to Zhang Ziheng's mother, linking her arm with hers. She smiled and said, "Auntie, are you having fun tonight? Are you hungry? I'll take you out for a midnight snack."

  Zhang Ziheng's mom was really happy tonight, laughing so hard that her mouth couldn't close, "Hehe, no need, I'm not hungry at all, let's go home early, I'm afraid Zhang Ziheng won't be able to get up for work tomorrow."

  "Okay, auntie, let's go home." Wang Xue nodded and smiled obediently.

  Xiao Tian furrowed his brow and came to Zhang Ziheng's side, looking at Wang Xue not far away, then said: "I'm telling you, Ziheng, it seems a bit off. I advise you to coax her well tonight, otherwise, if this drags on until tomorrow, you won't be able to bear it."

  "Can't be, right? Look at her and my mom getting along so well. They're chatting and laughing together, nothing's wrong, I suppose?" Zhang Ziheng said.

  "Hey, you don't understand this? Wang Xue did that because she didn't want to lose face in front of so many people. Actually, she's already furious, but hasn't exploded yet. So you must hurry up and coax her back, or else you'll be the one who regrets it." Little Tian reminded him.

  "What? Really?"

  "Of course, I'm a veteran in this, I understand such things. Alright, I won't say anything more, I'll go with Xixi first." Xiaotian said, patted Ziheng's shoulder, and then turned around to leave.

  After returning home, Zhang Ziheng's mother felt a bit tired and went to bed early. Wang Xue returned from the Workers' Stadium and didn't say a word to Zhang Ziheng until his mother fell asleep, it seems that Xiao Tian's guess was correct.

  Looking at Wang Xue collecting clothes drying on the balcony, Zhang Ziheng walked over and said: "Xue'er, don't be angry, okay? Today's matter..."

  Wang Xue seemed to not give Zhang Ziheng a chance to explain, didn't even look at him, and walked into the room with her clothes. Zhang Ziheng sighed, shook his head in frustration, and thought to himself, "What have I done to deserve this?" This wasn't going to work, according to Xiao Tian's words, he had to clear up the misunderstanding tonight.

  Looking at his sleeping mother, Zhang Ziheng didn't care about anything else. He walked over and grabbed Wang Xue's hand, then opened the door and pulled her out. Wang Xue shook her hand a few times but couldn't shake him off. She looked at him with an unpleasant expression and said: "What are you doing? Let me go! Can you hear me?"

  Zhang Ziheng didn't respond to her, instead he pulled her straight down the stairs and ran all the way to the park inside the community, only letting go of her there. After panting for a few breaths, Zhang Ziheng said: "Now you know what it feels like when no one takes your words seriously?"

  Wang Xue rubbed her wrist, glared at him, and didn't say a word. She turned to leave, but Zhang Ziheng quickly pulled her back, saying: "Alright, Xue'er, how long are you going to be angry? Today's incident isn't my fault, I had no idea she would do that. Besides, you agreed to go to the concert too, so you can't be unreasonable like this."

  "Am I not talking reason? Am I not talking reason? How am I not talking reason? Ah? You say it again? Is it that I'm not talking reason? Fine, today I won't talk reason, what can you do to me?!" Wang Xue said as she waved her hands and hit Zhang Ziheng, pulling at his clothes back and forth while saying: "You bastard, now you dare to scold me. Have you become more capable or something? Are you tougher or something? That stinky woman bullies me, and now even you're starting to bully me, damn it!"

  Zhang Ziheng sighed and didn't stop her, just quietly watching her. As Xiaotian said, she hadn't exploded before, but now that it's all coming out, it's a good thing.

  "You bastard, you damn bastard..." Wang Xue said, and suddenly burst into tears.

  Zhang Ziheng hugged her tightly and said, "Alright, I'm a bastard, alright? Sorry, don't cry, Xue'er, it's my fault."

  "You finally admit you were wrong? You admit you bullied me?" Wang Xue cried out in a wronged tone.

  "Alas! Yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't have bullied you. Alright? Xue Er, I know you're feeling wronged in your heart, but today's matter was something no one could have anticipated. You said you didn't distinguish between right and wrong and scolded me, is this useful? Alas! Forget it, let's not mention it again. However, from now on, please don't do this again, at least say a word to me, okay?" Zhang Zi Heng said softly.

  Wang Xue sniffled, pouting as she said: "But I just can't help feeling angry, who let her bully me like that? What's the point of doing that? It's like she doesn't take me seriously at all. And in front of so many people...she's really shameless! I'm your girlfriend, why did she do that?"

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Yu Jie was a bit over the top this time. We just ignore her, okay? As you said, you're my girlfriend, why bother with those things? Alright, don't cry anymore, your eyes will get puffy." Zhang Ziheng helped Wang Xue wipe away her tears.

  Wang Xue pouted and nodded, saying: "But I still feel wronged, I just don't feel comfortable in my heart, what do you think we should do?"

  Zhang Ziheng chuckled and took a look around, then suddenly kissed her, startling Wang Xue. About two minutes later, Zhang Ziheng slowly let go of her, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "How's that? Feeling better now? You know, this is her first time experiencing a wet kiss, so are you still feeling wronged?"

  Wang Xue smiled shyly and glanced at him, saying: "Hmph, to be honest, who did you learn from? How come you're so good at coaxing people now?"

  "What did you learn from whom? Is this something that can be learned from others? I'm not young anymore, and I'm also a man. Even if I don't understand anything, I've watched enough TV and movies." Zhang Ziheng laughed.

  Wang Xue smiled and said, "You think you're a movie star or something?"

  "Hehe, okay? Not angry anymore?" Zhang Ziheng smiled and said.

  "Hmm... no way, I want you to keep kissing me until I say it's okay. As long as I don't say anything, you can't stop." Wang Xue said coquettishly.

  "What? This... this is too much! If you don't say anything for the whole night, we'll be stuck here all night." Zhang Ziheng said.

  "Huh? What's wrong? You're regretting it now? Oh, okay, you've learned to not keep your promises. You...” Wang Xue hadn't finished speaking when Zhang Ziheng suddenly kissed her, perhaps this was the only way to shut her up.

  Not long after, someone suddenly shone a flashlight on them. Zhang Ziheng gently pushed Wang Xue away and looked up to see two security guards from the residential area walking towards them with vigilant expressions.

  "Hey, what are you guys doing? It's so late, are you thinking of stealing something?" one of the security guards asked.

  "It's not that it's not, big brother, we live here, isn't it too hot now? Let's go out and cool off." Zhang Ziheng said hurriedly.

  "Huh? Is that so?" The security guard looked at them in puzzlement and asked.

  The security guard looked at Zhang Ziheng and the other person, then smiled and said, "Alright, let's go. They're not thieves."

  "Huh? How did you know?"

  "Can't you see? The young couple is being intimate here, don't disturb them, go somewhere else."

  Zhang Ziheng smiled and said, "Sorry, two brothers, we're leaving, we're going home." After finishing speaking, he pulled Wang Xue and hurriedly ran away.

  The two of them ran all the way back to the corridor, Wang Xue laughed and said: "Haha haha haha, why are you so scared? It's like we're having an affair or something."

  Zhang Ziheng chuckled and said: "So you mean we should kiss in front of others? A girl, how can you not be shy?"

  "Hmm? Who are you talking about? Ah, you're looking for trouble, daring to mention me! Stop right there, don't run away! Ah, you still dare to run, just wait and see how I'll deal with you...!"
