So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 1246: Confidant

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Jing Xiaolu’s heart could not help but leap. Yang Ming wants to tell his own things to me? Didn’t that mean that Yang Ming saw her as a very important person?

Jing Xiaolu also understood very well that most of the time, Yang Ming regarded her as a friend who he could confide in… or more intimately as a confidant.

From the relationship at that level, there was still a moat that was not crossed.

Yang Ming’s question made Jing Xiaolu somewhat not know how to answer. She naturally wanted to hear Yang Ming’s story, but she was a smart woman and understood the concept. The more she knew, the closer she was to Yang Ming, but it was not the relationship between men and women. Men and women, who were too familiar with each other, couldn’t become boyfriend and girlfriend. The final result was a confidant with a good relationship.

Although there was also the possibility that the confidant would be upgraded to a partner, and there were some precedents, they were few and far between. Jing Xiaolu’s heart beat like a drum; she didn’t know how to choose. Subconsciously, she wanted her relationship with Yang Ming to go further, but subconsciously, she did not want to lose the passion between men and women because their relationship was very close.

Therefore, Jing Xiaolu hesitated.

At the moment, Yang Ming could not consider as much as Jing Xiaolu. Looking at Jing Xiaolu, who was a bit dazed, Yang Ming was very puzzled. “Xiaolu, what happened to you?”

Yang Ming rarely called Jing Xiaolu’s name, let alone directly calling her “Xiaolu.” Jing Xiaolu was somewhat flattered, and her tongue didn’t follow orders. She said directly, “Okay, let me listen to it…”

Then, Jing Xiaolu only wanted to hit herself in regret. How can I be sloppy with it? I need to analyze at least the probability of being upgraded to a partner from a confidant, right?

But she had already said so, and Jing Xiaolu couldn’t go back on her words. If she went back on her words at this time, Yang Ming would definitely feel that she was inexplicable and a mental case.

“How do I put it…? Hehe , maybe, you can’t imagine that. In junior high school and high school, I was similar to you. I was also a little punk who was ignorant and not studious. I always got into fights, thinking that I was very impressive…” Yang Ming decided to start from the beginning. For a long time, he didn’t confide to anyone. Yang Ming also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

However, among the women around him, apart from Sun Jie, Yang Ming really didn’t have someone with whom he could talk much. With Chen Mengyan’s righteousness, how could she accept that he was an assassin and had always murdered and committed arson?

Lin Zhiyun’s character was relatively weak; Yang Ming couldn’t talk about these things and make her worry. As for Zhou Jiajia, Yang Ming’s relationship with her couldn’t be said to be like mutual respect between a husband and wife, but when they met, they were usually talking about feelings and making some flirtatious actions. How could they have time to talk about his past? Even if they became serious, it was about technical things.

Similarly, for Xiao Qing, although she knew that Yang Ming had special abilities, she did not know that Yang Ming was an assassin. Yang Ming could talk to her, but Xiao Qing seemed to be too busy. Every time he looked for her, she was in the lab. Yang Ming didn’t want to bother her while she was doing serious stuff.

As for Wang Xiaoyan, both of them had a mutual tacit understanding. Yang Ming had always maintained a strong and wise posture in front of her, so Yang Ming had developed a habit of taking the lead in everything. To talk about this with Wang Xiaoyan? Yang Ming, who was more chauvinistic, would not do it.

And with Jing Xiaolu, naturally, there was no conflict of interest, and her life experience was similar to Yang Ming. However, this was also a coincidence. If Yang Ming didn’t think so much in the car, he would not be filled with emotions, and he would not want to find someone to talk about it.

Jing Xiaolu was at his side at the right time. Yang Ming had no choice but to talk to Jing Xiaolu. On the one hand, Yang Ming also confirmed that Jing Xiaolu would never betray him. He was not afraid of her betraying him by casually telling someone or reporting to the police. For this, Yang Ming could completely deny it. Today, there was no third person present, Yang Ming could deny the claims afterward.

The betrayal that Yang Ming referred to was to tip off the behind-the-scenes boss! If his speculation were told to the behind-the-scenes boss, he would be in a weak position. However, Jing Xiaolu couldn’t be the person sent by the boss, nor could she know the boss.

What’s more, Yang Ming understood Jing Xiaolu’s mind. Although Yang Ming did not have that kind of thought about Jing Xiaolu, it was also a good choice for both of them to be close friends. This was an acceptable result for both of them.

” Hey —!” Hearing that Yang Ming actually had this glorious history, Jing Xiaolu opened her jaws widely in surprise. “It turns out that you used to be like this! Then, you’re still telling me off!”

“Who was never young and frivolous? But we are all in college, and you are still like this. I naturally will tell you off.” Yang Ming remembered the things in the past, and he was still somewhat fond of those memories.

“I’m two years younger than you, okay?” Jing Xiaolu snorted. “You are already twenty; I am only eighteen. Can’t you let me be two years late in being sensible?”

Yang Ming heard from Ge Xinyao about Jing Xiaolu’s actual age before, but at the time, Ge Xinyao just mentioned it, and Yang Ming did not pay attention. Now, listening to Jing Xiaolu, he suddenly realized that the original age of Jing Xiaolu was so young.

“Okay, in the future, I’ll be a little more accommodating.” Yang Ming smiled indifferently and continued, “After that, when I was in high school, I met Chen Mengyan… She is an upright, honest, and kind girl. She also had a contribution for me to be admitted into college…”

Although Yang Ming knew that he was admitted to college because of his special abilities, Chen Mengyan and Zhao Ying’s tireless tutoring had indeed enabled Yang Ming to learn a lot of actual knowledge, not just the knowledge that could be gained by cheating!

Jing Xiaolu stretched her ears and listened carefully to Yang Ming’s words. Among them was how Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan met. Jing Xiaolu naturally wanted to hear about it because she wanted to know how Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan knew each other, so she could learn and use it herself.

“However, because I was very close to Chen Mengyan, it attracted the dissatisfaction of another of Chen Mengyan’s admirers in class…” As Yang Ming spoke until here, he sighed somewhat self-deprecatingly. “Back then, being young and conceited, I always thought that nothing can be a problem, and the result was that I fell into his trap…”

Yang Ming confessed how Wang Zhitao tricked him into his family’s hotel, how he was drugged, and unknowingly did something stupid. He also described how he was arrested by the police… and how Lin Zhiyun dropped the case unexpectedly…

Jing Xiaolu felt thrilled as she listened. She didn’t expect Yang Ming to experience such a twist and turn of events when he was in high school. Previously, Jing Xiaolu envied Lin Zhiyun and Chen Mengyan, but she didn’t know that there was such a moving and tangled story between them.

This was definitely something she envied but could not get. The relationship established by Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan in the special years before the college entrance examination, and the relationship entanglement with Lin Zhiyun could never be copied.

This was what she always wanted to imitate but couldn’t. Jing Xiaolu could only bless them silently, wishing Yang Ming, Chen Mengyan, and Lin Zhiyun the best.

“It turns out that you have experienced so many things!” Jing Xiaolu exclaimed, “I really envy you! This kind of relationship is the strongest. No wonder you like them so much… but the guy named Wang Zhitao, he is horrible. He didn’t get any punishment later? It became nothing just like that?”

“Later, naturally, he was punished! But before that, he encountered the wrath of Heaven.” Yang Ming suddenly thought of a very interesting thing about the summer camp after the college entrance examination. The things between Chen Afu and Wang Zhitao…

“What is it?!” Jing Xiaolu was obviously interested in the end of this evil and wicked person.

“After the college entrance examination, our class held a summer camp. There was a guy in our class called Chen Afu… He was a bit distorted and perverted. He liked to act as a ghost to scare people… So…” Yang Ming told Jing Xiaolu about how Chen Afu acted as a ghost and terrified Wang Zhitao, causing him to have erectile dysfunction.

Although Jing Xiaolu was still a virgin, she was naturally not so pure in thought. After all, the people she had been in contact with before were all punks. So, when she heard Yang Ming’s words, she could understand the meaning of it. She immediately laughed her heart out; even her tears came out. “Really? He was scared by his underling until he was like this?”

“So, since this person had done enough evil, naturally, there is retribution.” Yang Ming smiled.

“However, what happened to him after that? What happened after that?” Jing Xiaolu hit the back of her head and suddenly said, “Right, I remember. Was he also admitted to our Song Jiang Industry University? Then the person who disappeared for no reason is this person called Wang Zhitao?”

“Have you heard of him?” Yang Ming was a little surprised.

“Of course, don’t you know? The gossip on campus is very fast!” Jing Xiaolu nodded. “I found out about it at the start of this semester. There was a student named Wang something. His family is a very famous big group in the local area of Song Jiang, but because of smuggling, they were completely squandered, and the family was arrested. That student with the surname Wang then disappeared. Perhaps he ran away!”

Needless to say, Jing Xiaolu wouldn’t know that Wang Zhitao was already dead, and Yang Ming would not talk about these secrets. What Yang Ming told Jing Xiaolu already had the details of killing people omitted.

“Yes, Wang’s Century Xiongfeng Group, a group that was prominent in Song Jiang,” Yang Ming said with emotion. “The result is all… hehe …”

” En ? When you mentioned this Wang’s Century Xiongfeng Group, I remembered. The predecessor of our company seems to be them, right?” Jing Xiaolu suddenly asked.

” Hehe , you know?” Yang Ming did not hide it. He asked Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli to get the Wang Family business from Guo Jianchao. Although the method was somewhat despicable, it was legal. Others couldn’t pick the fault.

“So, the fall of the Wang Family had something to do with you?” Jing Xiaolu was clever and intelligent; of course, she saw something unusual from this clue and asked with wide eyes.

“This is another story; it involves Zhou Jiajia…” Yang Ming sighed and told Jing Xiaolu about how Zhou Jiajia went undercover to the Wang Family, how she got the key evidence of the Wang Family’s smuggling, and how she shielded him from a gunshot.

” Ah !” When Jing Xiaolu heard that Zhou Jiajia took a shot for Yang Ming, she was secretly astonished. Originally, her impression of Zhou Jiajia was ultimately to please her deliberately; she did not have any special views of Zhou Jiajia. However, after listening to Yang Ming, Jing Xiaolu really wanted to look at Zhou Jiajia with a new level of respect. Such a weak girl actually blocked the gunshot for Yang Ming at the crucial moment! How much courage and determination did it take to do that?!

Moreover, Yang Ming also misunderstood her at the time, and the two people might not have been able to be together. Zhou Jiajia was so determined that she blocked a shot for Yang Ming.

Fortunately, the portentous transformed into the propitious. Heaven was pitiful. Zhou Jiajia finally woke up, and love would eventually find a way!

“However, you are really willing to call Zhou Jiajia to take a risk at the Wang Family. In case she was… by Wang Zhitao,” Jing Xiaolu spoke midway and suddenly laughed. “Right, Wang Zhitao had been scared until he was not a man… hahahaha …”

Yang Ming said this to Jing Xiaolu because, on the one hand, he wanted to tell Jing Xiaolu that although he had more than one girlfriend, he was not the kind of person who was fickle in relationships. He and each of these girls had a part in these unusual stories, unlike those kinds of simple encounters that drooled over their beauty.

These also paved the way for other things to be said in the future. These were already thrilling, but the things that followed were obviously more thrilling. Yang Ming also wanted Jing Xiaolu to be mentally prepared.

“The next thing I want to say is another clue that happened to me, but it has nothing to do with this enemy, Wang Zhitao.” Yang Ming waited until Jing Xiaolu finished laughing before he continued.

” Oh ?” Jing Xiaolu straightened her body. Yang Ming’s story was like a movie. It was even more thrilling than movies and TV shows. Jing Xiaolu was unknowingly fascinated and even forgot about the movie she was watching. She was totally immersed in Yang Ming’s past. ” En , quickly tell me about it.”

“My other identity is an assassin.” Yang Ming spoke until here and paused. He said, “Do you believe it?”

“What! Assassin?” Jing Xiaolu was stunned and somewhat looked at Yang Ming with disbelief. Intuitively, Jing Xiaolu felt that Yang Ming would not lie to her, but the assassin was a very distant concept. It was too far away from real life.

“Have you seen the Jet Li movie, The King of Assassins [1]?” Yang Ming gave an example.

” Ah ! Of course, I have seen it!” Jing Xiaolu nodded and said with amazement, “Really, is there the existence of assassins? In this world?”

“All industries are not created out of thin air. Since there is such a profession, there are as expected real assassins.” Yang Ming explained, “But in the movie, the description of the world of assassins is superficial.”

“It’s superficial?” Jing Xiaolu said in a different way, “So, aren’t you the same as those independent heroes? Seeking justice?”

“Every assassin has his own principles.” Yang Ming said, “Not all assassins seek justice, and many of them will also go against their own consciousness to assassinate some good people. However, some assassins have their own choices in executing the mission; that is, only killing people who he thinks are bad or committed dreadful crimes that even death could not wipe out.

“However, a regular assassin group will not pick the mission, because it has already formed its own standard way to accept missions, so often many innocent people are the targets they assassinate.

But an independent assassin has his own judgment. He can choose his own missions… just like me.”

“So, you specifically kill the bad guys?” Jing Xiaolu was a little excited. She always thought that Yang Ming was a good person. If Yang Ming also did not differentiate between the good and the bad, she would be very disappointed.

“I… have not completed my discipleship yet.” Yang Ming hid a bit from Jing Xiaolu. He didn’t want to tell Jing Xiaolu that he killed someone before because this had no benefit to Jing Xiaolu’s mind, so he left some room in his speech.

“So, it’s like this!” Jing Xiaolu patted her chest and said, “I say; otherwise, you would have to travel around the world, and I would not be able to see your shadow anymore!”

“The reason why I can be an assassin is that there is an unusual story.” Yang Ming said, “This is also from the time in high school when I entered the detention center…”

As he said this, Yang Ming told Jing Xiaolu about the process of how he met Fang Tian and Dong Jun after he entered the detention center. He originally only wanted to help the poor old man but did not expect the old man to have another Identity.

Because Yang Ming also wanted Jing Xiaolu to help him and consult her for ideas, he talked about how he had a misunderstanding with Chen Mengyan and fought, and went to Yunnan with Zhang Bing.

Of course, it also included the process of meeting Lan Ling and going gambling together. However, Yang Ming gave the credit of gambling to Lan Ling’s sixth sense. After that, Yang Ming told in detail how the jade disappeared and reappeared in Lan Ling’s bag, and also the process of how it went missing.

To let Jing Xiaolu have a clear concept, Yang Ming naturally told Jing Xiaolu about the resentment and intricate relationship in Lan Ling’s family, so that she had a general concept.

Assassin, voodoo! These were things that Jing Xiaolu had not heard of when she grew up until today. Today, she was exposed to so many unknown things, making her both excited and amazed.

However, she did not doubt the authenticity of what Yang Ming said because Jing Xiaolu felt that Yang Ming would definitely not lie to her.

After Yang Ming said this, he later told Jing Xiaolu about the appearance of this piece of jade and the arrest of Chen Afu and his own enmity with Elder You.

“So, that Elder You thought that you and Lan Ling together would bother him, so he stole the jade to frame Lan Ling. The purpose was to make you mistakenly think that it was Lan Ling who did it so that you will be estranged from Lan Ling?” As Jing Xiaolu spoke up to here, she also felt that the possibility was not high. She hit her head and said, “It can’t be. At that time, you didn’t show that you were very powerful. How can Elder You be wary of you? Does he have a special ability that predicts? Can he foresee that you are going to destroy his future plans?”
