After listening to Dingxiang's narration, Xin Yi felt quite emotional. He could say that Tong Xiaowei and Dingxiang were like-minded individuals, but the difference was that Xin Yi knew how to adapt, and he had substantial financial backing. In contrast, Tong Xiaowei and Dingxiang were merely relying on their passion to pursue their goals. Compared to them, the path of gang reform for Tong Xiaowei and Dingxiang was fraught with difficulties, which might also explain why Tong Xiaowei passed away at a young age. However, Xin Yi did not say anything; he only had a guess in his heart. Until this guess was confirmed, he couldn't be sure, so he prepared to uncover the truth. Perhaps the truth would also be quite helpful for his own ambition to merge the Black Dragon Society in Yongzhou.
Due to Xin Yi's impersonation of a retired member of the Heavenly Pride Wolf Special Forces, Dingxiang felt an immediate closeness to him. This poor woman had been unable to let go of her deceased fiancé, Tong Xiaowei, for years. Therefore, upon learning about Xin Yi's background, she instinctively developed a fondness for him. This fondness might not be directed at Xin Yi as a person; perhaps she simply believed that any man who came from the Heavenly Pride War Wolf was trustworthy. Maybe she was just looking for someone with whom she could share her accumulated memories of longing for Tong Xiaowei day after day. Regardless, she regarded Xin Yi as such a person.
"Actually, over the years you could have left the Black Dragon Society, couldn't you? You could have lived a completely different life. But why do you continue to stay in this place that brings you endless pain?" After hearing Dingxiang finish her story about Tong Xiaowei, Xin Yi looked at her with admiration.
"Hehe... Pain is not actually that terrifying. You don't understand; the greatest suffering is not pain or longing but forgetting. When one day you can no longer find any trace of him, that feeling of confusion and helplessness is the most frightening," Dingxiang shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "So I would rather stay here, in the place where I once lived with Xiaowei. Although it is painful, at least it proves that I am still alive... If my life no longer has even the last bit of pain, then what meaning does it have?"
Xin Yi was astonished. This seemingly frivolous and fiery woman was actually deeply missing her deceased fiancé. She preferred to live in the torment of longing rather than stepping out to start anew. Can one call such a woman frivolous? Certainly not.
"Even if you are waiting here, as you said, the Black Dragon Society has undergone tremendous changes. You will never be able to regain that feeling you had with Xiaowei back then. Is it worth it?"
Xin Yi's seemingly ordinary words caused Dingxiang to close her eyes in pain. She shook her head vigorously and after a while opened her eyes to say, "How could I not know what you're saying? But I have really tried my best. Not just in the entire Black Dragon Society; even within Kanglong Hall, they only pretend to listen to me on the surface and never truly do anything according to my wishes. What can I do? I can't bear to leave because Xiaowei's dream has not yet been realized; I really can't bear it..."
"Your persistence is meaningless! You cannot change the Black Dragon Society; it will not change because of you!" Xin Yi said decisively.
Dingxiang knew this very well, but she had been living in self-deception all along, unwilling to face this harsh reality. Because once she faced it, she wouldn't know where to go next; thus, she chose to be like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
Now that Xin Yi brought up this issue so decisively, he wanted her to confront reality—escaping was not a solution at all. "So what can I do? Should I just leave?" Dingxiang said in confusion. "If I leave here, what will I have left? I would lose everything I shared with Xiaowei."
"Ding Sister, if I tell you that I can help you realize your dream with Xiaowei, would you believe me?" Xin Yi looked into Dingxiang's eyes and said solemnly.
"What? You?" Dingxiang was momentarily stunned but quickly laughed: "Hehe... Brother, thank you! No matter what, you're the first man who has ever said such things to me. Even though I know you're just trying to cheer me up, I'm still grateful. I've never believed in any man over these years, but today I'll believe you just this once since you've made me feel so close! Hehe..."
"I'm..." Xin Yi was at a loss for words. He wanted to tell Dingxiang that he was serious, but he also wondered how she would respond. She would surely see him as just another man trying to deceive her. If that were the case, why bother saying anything? One day, she would understand that he was telling the truth.
"Haha... Well, sister is not an easy woman. Although you are not much worse looking than Xiaowei, I really am not mentally prepared right now. Maybe one day I will fulfill your wishes, haha..." Dingxiang resumed her fiery facade and laughed.
"I... am not..."
"Haha... You don't need to explain. Among all the men in the Black Dragon Society, you are the most special to me. Just do your best! I have high hopes for you!" Dingxiang said with a smile. "Also, try to stay away from Li Gang. You may not know this, but he is not interested in women; he is interested in men who are not too bad looking like you! I'm leaving now; if you miss me, come find me in the East District!" After saying this, Dingxiang turned and swayed her slender waist as she opened the door and left.
Damn! So Li Gang is really one of those guys! Xin Yi couldn't help but feel nauseous as he recalled how Li Gang had held onto his hand today without letting go... Uh, Xin Yi hurried into the bathroom and washed his right hand thoroughly with soap seven times!
And then there was Dingxiang. Initially, he had a good impression of her, thinking she was a woman worth helping. But her last comment severely damaged her image in his mind! What did she mean by "not too bad looking"? Look at her—she's quite a charming and quality woman! What kind of eyes does she have? Can someone like me really be called "not too bad looking"? I look quite handsome, thank you very much! This woman has no taste; she's scarier than a thug!
After washing his hands, Xin Yi stared at himself in the bathroom mirror for over ten minutes and finally confirmed that Dingxiang's comment contradicted the aesthetic sense of people worldwide, especially that of many women. Satisfied, he hummed a little tune as he walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as he stepped out, the door was pushed open. Xin Yi instinctively covered his chest with both hands, like a pure girl suddenly caught by a peeping tom. He saw Lu Hanmeng storming in with an angry expression, completely ignoring Xin Yi's entertaining gesture. She turned her head and walked into the room as if he weren't there, sitting down on the only bed.
Something seemed off about this Violent Girl. Normally, she would mock him for such a feminine action, but today she showed no reaction at all. Did someone bully her while she was downstairs eating? How dare they! My Xin Yi's woman is being bullied?! Even if she's a fake one, she's still nominally mine!
So Xin Yi walked over to the bed and casually asked, "Who is the blind fool that made our beautiful Lu angry? Or did our beautiful Lu not enjoy her crab dinner tonight and feels uncomfortable?"
"Get lost!" Lu Hanmeng suddenly exploded with rage, glaring at him with her beautiful big eyes. "What does my anger have to do with you? I'm not like some people who take advantage of missions to flirt with all sorts of loose women! You don't even remember why you're here!"
Huh? Seriously? Who did I offend? It's just that Dingxiang sister escorted me back to my room! Sure, there were some rather suggestive moments involved, but I pulled back before falling into temptation—how did it turn into flirting around? I wanted to flirt too; it's just that it didn't work out!
"Then Xin Yi said with great righteousness, 'Comrade Lu Hanmeng, please reconsider your wording. What do you mean by associating with some dubious and promiscuous women? Let me tell you, I Xin Yi am not that kind of person!' Of course, I sometimes can be quite casual, but that doesn't make me less of a person.
'Hahaha... you crack me up!' Lu Hanmeng sneered. 'You actually tell me you're not a casual person? A person who isn't casual wouldn't be hugging someone so openly in public, would they? And saying, "Oh, don't hold me so tightly, okay? I can hardly breathe! Stop it! Don't be so eager, alright? ... Let's go upstairs first..." You dare say you didn't do anything shameful?' The last part was mimicked in Dingxiang's tone.
No way? So Violent Girl actually heard that at the time? I thought all her attention was on that big hairy crab. Now it seems like there's no way to clear my name. Dingxiang, aren't you clearly trying to frame me? If I really did something with you, it would be understandable, but the truth is I didn't do anything at all! At most, I just touched a bit, pressed for a while, and felt the warmth and fullness of the elder sister. Enjoying such a little bit shouldn't cost me this much!
'No, um, we really didn't do anything inappropriate!' Xin Yi said aggrievedly. 'It's only been a little while! Even if we were going to do something, it couldn't happen this quickly!'
'Not enough time?' Lu Hanmeng glared at Xin Yi. 'From the moment you walked into this room until she left, it was a total of one hour and forty-seven minutes! And you still say it wasn't much time? I think you were enjoying yourself so much that you lost track of time!'
'Really that long?' Xin Yi asked in surprise.
'Yes! You entered the room at eight ten, and that woman left at nine fifty-seven. Are you really saying that in such a long time you didn't do anything?' Lu Hanmeng replied angrily."
