Chapter 2137: Does She Actually Feel Sorry for Me?

Seeing this, a flicker of unease crossed Su Kexuan's heart.

To prevent Jiang Mobai from acting impulsively, she warned, "This person has strong mental fortitude and a meticulous mind; if you rush to find them, you're just handing the other party a knife."

"Of course I wouldn't be that stupid! The old professor's granddaughter is young and naive, so I'll start with her!"

It was unclear what Jiang Mobai had thought of, but the smile on his face suddenly turned quite sinister.

Qingkong's eyes shifted, and he realized, "You're going to use the honey trap!"

After saying this, he shook his head and sighed at Su Kexuan: "His sacrifice is too great; it really makes one feel sorry for him!"

"Oh, then you go ahead and feel sorry for him."

Su Kexuan remained unmoved, seemingly not caring at all whether Jiang Mobai might go down the wrong path.

This made Jiang Mobai feel a bit hurt.

His calm expression carried a hint of heartbreak: "Are you really willing to let me sacrifice my looks?"

"What kind of nonsense is that? Don't let Qingkong influence you; keep your thoughts clean!"

"My thoughts are quite clean."

"Oh, then was your original intention to use your sex appeal?"

"Of course not."

"There you go, you've been led into a ditch by Qingkong!"

After saying this, Su Kexuan glanced sideways at the intrigued Qingkong and questioned: "Have you watched enough of the show?"

Qingkong's smile vanished, and he became serious.

Then, with a grave expression, he explained: "You really have misunderstood me; I'm not watching a show, but rather wanting to see if someone's heart will ache for another someone."

Qingkong's words caused Jiang Mobai's suppressed curiosity to overflow once again.

He looked at Su Kexuan, hoping to hear something.

Su Kexuan, however, crossed her arms with an impatient look: "The matter isn't resolved yet, and you still have the mind to think about irrelevant things?"

"How is this irrelevant? This is very important to Jiang Mobai!"

Jiang Mobai felt this was very true and nodded quickly to show his agreement.

Seeing this, Su Kexuan smiled indifferently.

Once the smile faded, she said: "I feel the two of you have a lot in common, so please, chat slowly; I won't disturb you."

Having said that, Su Kexuan left first.

Jiang Mobai wanted to follow.

But Qingkong kicked his crutch over.

Without his crutch, Jiang Mobai could be said to be unable to take a single step.

It was a pipe dream for him to catch up to Su Kexuan.

Thinking that Qingkong had done it on purpose...

Jiang Mobai glared angrily at the culprit: "What are you doing!?"

Qingkong said unhurriedly: "Su Kexuan is currently annoyed; even if you follow her, you won't get an answer."

"Then... will she actually feel sorry for me?"

Jiang Mobai was fixated on an answer.

Qingkong, however, did not answer.

He simply rested his cheek on one hand and offered a conclusion: "It seems you didn't grasp the opportunity at all."

Opportunity?

What opportunity?

Jiang Mobai was just about to ask.

He immediately thought of the previous five-day agreement.

During those five days, Jiang Mobai had truly racked his brains and put in the effort.

So he retorted to Qingkong: "I did! I even took her to the small shop we used to go to for food!"

"And did that evoke any fond memories for her?"

"This... I'm not sure; in the end... it even attracted reporters."

The more Jiang Mobai spoke, the weaker his tone became.

His shoulders also slumped slightly.

Seeing him looking so discouraged, Qingkong gave his conclusion again: "So it was still a failure."

Jiang Mobai really didn't want to admit it.

But facts speak louder than words.

Jiang Mobai was powerless to argue.

Seeing Jiang Mobai looking like a wilted eggplant, Qingkong lowered his head to fiddle with his camera.

He added: "Aren't you very good at chasing women? Why is it that as soon as you encounter Su Kexuan, you can't use any of your tricks?"

"To pursue a woman, the other party has to have a good impression of you. But Su Kexuan, toward me..."

Jiang Mobai laughed at himself.

He did not continue with the rest of his words.

Qingkong understood what Jiang Mobai meant.

But he did not agree: "If Su Kexuan were truly indifferent toward you, then when facing you, she would definitely be faking a smile, being polite, and saying nice things."

Su Kexuan was the type of person who was accustomed to wearing a mask.

She was polite to everyone.

As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth.

Yet, only toward Jiang Mobai did she always show impatience mixed with disdain.

She even tried to find ways to keep her distance from him.

As for saying Su Kexuan's heart was as still as stagnant water, he did not believe it for a second.

At this moment, Qingkong also hoped his words could provoke some deep thought in Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai was indeed deep in thought.

But he had been thinking for a bit too long, so long that Qingkong was getting impatient waiting.

In the end, Qingkong had no choice but to speak up: "Have you reached any conclusion?"

"Kexuan's temper toward me isn't very good."

"Mm, and the conclusion?"

"I spoke and acted immaturely, and it made her angry."

Made... her angry?

Qingkong suddenly chuckled.

He didn't know if Su Kexuan had been angered or not.

But he was certainly angered to the point of laughter.

Facing Jiang Mobai's sincere gaze, Qingkong commented: "You're not just infuriating, you're also stupid."

Jiang Mobai had wanted to get some feedback and advice from Qingkong.

Who would have thought this person would be so blunt the moment he opened his mouth!

At this, Jiang Mobai was displeased: "Can you speak properly!"

"I am just giving an honest evaluation."

"Then where am I stupid?"

"Everywhere."

"You..."

Jiang Mobai was furious, raising his cane to strike Qingkong.

But with his limited mobility, how could he possibly hit the agile Qingkong?

Not only did he fail to hit him, but Qingkong also backhanded him by snapping a photo of him clawing and gesticulating.

Jiang Mobai did have some image to maintain after all; he hurriedly lowered his cane and warned: "You are not allowed to take random photos!"

"It doesn't matter if I did; I won't make it public. At most... I'll just show it to Su Kexuan."

Qingkong shook the camera, his eyes full of provocation.

Jiang Mobai truly wished he could smash that camera to pieces right now!

Unfortunately, he could not do so.

Jiang Mobai could only tap his cane on the ground and ask: "Are you trying to anger me to death!"

"Who is angering you? I am clearly giving you encouragement and advice."

"Nonsense!"

"Sigh, love really does lower one's IQ."

Qingkong's lament came from the bottom of his heart.

To Jiang Mobai, however, this was another form of humiliation.

But before Jiang Mobai could roar, Qingkong asked a question: "Don't you think that Su Kexuan has you in her heart too?"

Just this one sentence made Jiang Mobai's heart give a fierce jolt.

Afterward, his heart rate accelerated, his eyes darted around, and his voice sounded somewhat awkward: "You're mocking me again!"

"Can't I go take some photos when I have time? Mocking you?"

"But what you said simply doesn't hold water."

"You, can't you have a little confidence in yourself?"

Jiang Mobai wanted to have confidence too.

But...

He suddenly sighed heavily and said: "I did something that hurt her."

"Since that's the case, then go apologize."

"Apologizing is useless; I thought about making amends, but she showed disdain for it."

"Mm, judging by the fact that your IQ drops the moment you face Su Kexuan, your method of making amends must have been completely off the mark."

Jiang Mobai's lips moved, but he did not deny it.
