1446 He Likes Men
Li Hua covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised as she said, “Oh! Childhood friends! That means childhood sweethearts! So these two people have a history together! Looks like Deng Fan is the third party here.”
“You’d better be careful about what you say! Keep your mouth shut! Otherwise… otherwise I…” Xiao Nan said hesitantly.
“Otherwise what? You’d throw mud at me? Throw away my clothes?” Li Hua looked at Xiao Nan mockingly and said, “You only know how to do such childish things. Don’t embarrass yourself by acting like a child. If I’m you, I will look for a hole in the ground and hide inside. I won’t come out for the rest of my life. How shameful!”
There was laughter all around. Everyone in Li Hua’s group laughed at Xiao Nan’s incompetence. Xiao Nan lowered her head aggrievedly. She felt so indignant. She did not want to leave like this and did not want to be mocked by Li Hua and the others.
Bai Dian hurriedly pulled Xiao Nan away from the main entrance of the art troupe. The two of them were newbies and there was no way for them to win against these veterans in the art troupe.
The two of them only stopped when they reached an alleyway.
“Why did you pull me away!” Xiao Nan said as she struggled.
“Should I leave you there to be bullied by Li Hua? How can you be so unappreciative to someone who helps you!” Bai Dian said angrily.
Xiao Nan lowered her head apologetically and said, “I… I don’t mean it that way…”
“I know. Li Hua has a big group of people with her and they all act like shrews. How are you going to fight them? Don’t be silly. Besides, the most they can do is gossip about others. It’s fine as long as we don’t take them seriously. Don’t lower yourself to their level,” Bai Dian said.
“I just can’t stand the way they talk!” Xiao Nan said.
“It’s fine. We’ll just find an opportunity to teach them a lesson in the future!” Bai Dian said.
After Xiao Nan and Bai Dian left, Xia He did not spend too much time arguing with Song Dan. She quickly left on her bicycle and was still panting when she reached Qiao Mei’s house.
“I thought I told you to ride slowly. Is there a dog behind you trying to bite you? It’s very dangerous for you to do this,” Qiao Mei said to Xia He with a frown as she stood in the courtyard.
“Yes there is! Something scarier than a dog! If I don’t run, I’ll be skinned and swallowed alive!” Xia He yelled out angrily.
Qiao Mei put down the clippers in her hand and asked curiously, “What is it? What are you talking about?”
Xia He told Qiao Mei everything that had happened. Qiao Mei immediately covered her mouth and said, “Oh my goodness! Don’t tell me this person is interested in you!”
“Him? I’ve never seen him interested in any woman. I think he likes men!” Xia He said.
Xia He did not care if other people liked men or women. After all, it was none of her business. It was up to others to decide who they liked. She had no right to comment.
However, during this era, these people would die if others found out about such behavior! They would be forced to their graves!
“Really? Did you hear wrongly?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xia He agitatedly. She knew that homosexuality was also prevalent in the past, but she did not expect to be able to see it for herself.
“It’s absolutely true! Why would I lie to you! Seriously, if you don’t believe me, you can check it out for yourself!” Xia He said in annoyance.
Qiao Mei went to the kitchen and personally made a portion of ice jelly for Xia He to appease her anger. She had recently worked out how to make this! Later on, she would look into how to make milk tea. Otherwise, she was going to find life unbearable soon. She was someone who could not live without milk tea!
That night, Qiao Mei wrote a letter and sent it to Yeo Nian using the pigeon. She asked him to find out exactly what was going on. She was not concerned about the fact that someone fell for Xia He. After all, Xia He was a beautiful woman and it was not surprising for men to like her.
She was more concerned that Song Dan had other motives. If anyone wanted to harm Xia He, she would definitely tear that person into pieces!
After Song Dan reached home, he started drinking to drown his sorrows. He felt that all the women in the world were the same. They all hated his appearance and were afraid that he had ulterior motives towards women.
Du Miao pushed the door open and entered. He behaved as if he was in his own house and did not have the self-awareness of a guest at all.
“Get lost!” Song Dan said impatiently.
“Did you drink too much? It’s me, your brother,” Du Miao said with a smile.
