Chapter 298 - "I have a girlfriend." (1)
On the day of the event, he had with him a potato that had been soaked in pesticide. After he had arrived at the restaurant and when nobody was looking, he placed the potato inside his braised pork.
He finally ate the piece of potato after all of the pesticide had soaked into the braised pork.
Of course he started vomiting nonstop shortly after that.
In addition to that, he even admitted that he had teamed up with Liu Dongchang on the event of Meng Qingqing being chased by a dog and had to jump into a river.
Liu Dongchang paid him 20 yuan for that.
There was nothing more left to look into in the case.
The cop found the pesticide at Cao Dajian’s place along with the 200 yuan that was given to him by Liu Dongchang.
Guo Weiping and Aunty Lin were released after that. Liu Dongchang were fired from his position at the government-operated restaurant, received a 15-year sentence, and sent to a farm to reform.
Tan Xiaoyan and Cao Dajian, received 2 years and 7 years sentences, respectively, for making force statements and were also sent to the farm to reform.
Everybody was happy with Liu Dongchang and the others’ outcome.
Tong Xuelu, too, felt redeemed.
She was, however, shocked when she discovered that the only reason that Cao Dajian had turned himself in was because he had been beaten by Wen Rugui.
The Wen Rugui that she knew who was blush at the smallest of all things could be so manly?
She had a difficult time imagining that.
Tong Xuelu made many tasty dishes on the day of Liu Dongchang’s sentencing to thank everyone who had helped her.
Wen Rugui, as usual, went to help her out at the kitchen when she was cooking.
Tong Xuelu took the opportunity to ask him, “I heard that you were the one who gave Cao Dajian the bruises on his head?”
Wen Rugui, who was peeling a taro, paused a little. “I…… only punched him a few times. Who would have thought that he was so delicate that he bruised from that?”
What Wen Rugui was trying to say was that he was not a wild person, nor was he violent. Cao Dajian was just too fragile!
Tong Xuelu almost busted out laughing from that.
With a smile in the depth of her eyes, she called out to him softly, “Rugui.”
Wen Rugui shuddered and felt a tingling sensation at the tip of his heart. “Yes, what is it?”
He placed the taro inside a bucket and turned to look at Tong Xuelu.
Tong Xuelu cocked her head and said, “Remember what I said last time? That we should spend some time to get to know each other?”
Looking into her limpid eyes, Wen Rugui’s heart throbbed. “I remember.”
Tong Xuelu, “I have also said that I will be your girlfriend if you can pass my tests.”
The fall sun coming in through the window made Tong Xuelu looked even fairer and her eyes charming like a pool of water.
Wen Rugui’s Adam's apple rolled up and down. “Yes, you did say that.”
Tong Xuelu’s lips curved and her dimples appeared. “Wen Rugui, I am officially informing you that you had passed my tests and you are my boyfriend starting today.”
THROB! THROB! THROB!
Wen Rugui’s black eyes glued to her. His heart almost beating faster than he could handle. “You, you mean it?”
What a fool.
Why would he ask if she meant it at this point?
Tong Xuelu’s eyes rolled around and she suddenly leaned into him.
Wen Rugui froze and stood there motionlessly.
Standing on her tip toes, she quickly touched her lips to his cheek and backed away again.
BOOM!
The soft sensation from his cheek made Wen Rugui’s face, ears, and neck all turned beet red instantly.
A electric current went from the point of contact through his entire body.
He looked at her without blinking.
She had kissed him.
She! Had! Kissed! Him!!!!
Wen Rugui felt that his heart was about to fail him.
The smile on Tong Xuelu deepened when she saw his reaction. “Comrade Wen, I had sealed the deal and you are mine from this point forward.”
Wen Rugui, his face red and his eyes filled with tenderness, “Yes.” I will be yours from this point forward.
He felt that he was walking on clouds all the way until he left the Tong’s.
He was quiet and expressionless on his way back.
Pu Jianyi looked over at him a few times and thought that Wen Rugui had gotten into a fight with Tong Xuelu.
What he didn’t know was that Wen Rugui was being shy.
