Good Morning Miss Undercover Chapter 9

A sudden fire ignited inside me. I turned around and coldly glared at him, “What do you want to say?” 

Kang Zi Xian, with hands sticked inside the pockets, made a step forward. He lowered his head, facing my provocation like an arrogant peacock, which made people hold him in contempt, “I’m just curious. The one you want to save tonight is one of your boyfriends?” 

Confronting someone who seemed to be handsome but was in a reality jerk, from whose thin lips came only slanders and malicious speculations, I instinctively had the urge to spit at him. However, I held myself back. Even though I was so mad that my body was shaking like an autumn leaf, I didn’t act on my feelings. Rather, I made a step forward and stood on tiptoes. I wrapped my icy cold hands around his neck and frivolously spoke with a raised eyebrow, “So, are you interested in becoming one of them?” 

This surprising act made him purse tightly his lips. He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashed through them. 

I innately sensed that I went too far. Just when I was about to let go, he has already freed himself from my restless hands and solemnly said, “I’m sorry, not interested.” I breathed a sigh of relief. Shrugging the shoulders, I turned around and made few step. Afterwards, I smiled at him, sending him a wink, “Hence, I’m not going to mess with your life.” 

He still remained at the same place, watching me with an unreadable expression. I grew anxious. Standing beside his car, I waved at him, “Hurry up! If we come late, my little boyfriend will become a man’s boyfriend.” 

While sitting in Kang Zixian’s car, I noticed he has turned on the heater. When its warmth spread over people’s bared flesh, it made them feel content and cozy as if they were soaked inside the mountain hot spring. 

Regrettably, the man beside was still cold. I anxiously gazed at the lanterns red and wine green¹ outside the car. I was unable to refrain myself from asking, “How much longer?”

“One hour. The club is located nearby the mountain.” He emotionlessly replied. Inwardly, I cursed. I slightly felt unwell, having a faint headache. I annoyingly massaged my aching temple, thinking that spending an hour with an iceberg was just as unbearable as attending the english classes during my high school times. 

Kang Zi Xian also didn’t seem to be interested in engaging in the conversation with me. I loathed to talk with him to begin with. But then, on the second thought, I contemplated that he was close with Deng Long. I should use this opportunity to probe him. Maybe I will come upon an unexpected discovery. 

I cleared my throat, “That, it seems to be a little boring. Let’s talk.” He concentrated on driving and kept a silence. His rejection was evident. I was pissed. Unable to hold back the urge to retaliate, I used a happy smile to nausea him, “Are you……Deng Long’s boyfriend?” 

“Ah!” A sharp turn. My head slammed into the car window. The pain made me see the stars. Kang Zi Xian slowly stopped the car. I rubbed my forehead while looking at him with a startled expression. I didn’t expect him to have such a fierce reaction. For a moment, I was thinking if I had guessed right and he was also a gay.

Birds of a feather flock together, after all. I told myself. 

Kang Zi Xian’s thick black eyebrows knitted together. He turned his head to glare at me. The dim car light that has hit on his straight and tall nose bridge evoked a sort of sculpture like beauty. Just, his domineering aura reminded people that he definitely wasn’t someone to look down upon. Since his expression was telling me that he cared very much, I have decided to not make it easy on him. I started my attack. 

“Actually, you don’t need to have such a reaction. I won’t discriminate against your community. On the other hand, AIDS is more discriminating against you guys. I heard that the infection rate is high. Well, you should pay attention to it. Don’t forget to buy more of those stuffs. Of course, self-control is never a bad thing.” Kang Zi Xian did not speak. His eyes were surprisingly bright. After angrily glaring at me for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Three days. I know you only for three days. Yet, the thought of strangling you have emerged almost for three hundred times. Fang Liang Liang, keep that in mind.” 

“Can’t I make a joke? You have no sense of humor.” I said with my lips puckered. At this time, a lighting whipped the night sky. Then, a spring thunder roared and it started to rain. The sound of raindrops was lingering in my ears, never stopping. In order to reverse the awkward atmosphere, I pretended to rub my arms and worriedly looked at the vast night sky, mumbling to myself, “It’s so cold.” Actually, I was trying to find myself a way out of this embarrassing situation. In the next moment, Kang Zi Xian, who was beside me, made some movement. It was to take off his suit. With a dumbstruck expression, I watched him throwing his suit at me and then starting the car in a silence. 

I didn’t know wether to cry or laugh for his sudden exhibition of goodwill. I hesitatingly peered at him, only to see his lips tightly pressed together, unpleased. I was unwilling to brush away his kindness. Moreover, currently I truly needed such a thick coat. 

Since it would be ungracious not to accept such a kindness, I have put it straight on myself. 

The rain was getting bigger and bigger. There were only few cars on the road, which made the spring night somehow empty and desolate. 

I sat there silently, looking at the darkness outside. Like in a daze, I was recalling about those pair of Fu Chen’s black eyes, which held a deep love inside them. They hurt my eyes. He has once belonged to only me. Yet, I insisted on losing him. I felt a lump in my throat. Looking at the passing nightscapes, I grew even more quiet.  

As the drowsiness started to overpower me, Kang Zi Xian suddenly spoke up, “We were classmates in the college. We have known each other for many years.” 

“Oh.” Half awake, I put aside my broken heart. My ears stood up to listen what he was to say next. “Based on how well I know him, your…….boyfriend,” he put an emphasis on the word ‘boyfriend’, “………..is absolutely safe. Martin is a gentleman, even though he doesn’t give people such a vibe.” 

I was skeptic, “If you believed so, why have you agreed to take me there? It’s evident that you’re also uncertain.” 

“It’s only reasonable for me to reject you.” He gave me a meaningful glance, which also carried a trace of contempt. “Fortunately, miss Fang’s good story tonight made me feel that this trip had not been made in vain. Actually, I should thank you.” 

“You…” I have almost unleashed my resentment, yet I have swallowed it. This action had my organs change their positions. 

My head was already aching. However, this Kang guy’s blow made the ache even worse. Furthermore, the thunder hasn’t yet stopped its drumming. It kept on rumbling and rumbling, leaving people without even one peaceful moment. 

Even though I was very lively, but after experiencing an exhausting day, I have decided to let my taut nerves relax first. I still had to preserve an energy to drag Dongzi out from dragon’s teeth of Deng Long. I had to distinguish the severity of the situation. This Kang guy was not worthy to have me hold a grudge against him and engage in an argument with him.

I closed my eyes and leaned against the seat and weakly waved my hand, “I know what you’re thinking about me. Yes. I’m the third party, a vixen, a man-eater. I have done all the bad things that bad women had done. I’m the fighter among the bad women, alright?” 

I partially narrowed my eyes, feeling dejected. Suddenly, I felt that what I said was not that outrageous at all. I owed  both Fu Chen and Wei Yi a sincerity. Even Dongzi, I treated him badly. I was fully aware that Deng Long had wicked intentions toward him. Yet, I still let Dongzi continue going to work and tail him. If tonight a melodrama was to happen, I was to blame. 

In a time of one thought, thanks to Kang Zi Xian, I have rejected myself and everything else and became gloomy. Kang Zi Xian put on an amused smile, “You seem to be more like a submarine.” 

I was blank for a moment. Heaven, what was the IQ of this man? Why was there a person who possessed both beauty and wisdom? How are going common people, like me, to live? I practically had nowhere to hide. 

I awkwardly turned my head, refusing to look at him. I said embarrassed, “Whatever you say is right, good? The last time when I got drunk and messed with you was my wrong. Rest assured. I still have a little conscience. In the future, if you go left, I will go right. Don’t you dare to mock me again.” 

Somehow, the posture of me leaning against the window, with my little finger brushing over its surface, resembled an eighteen years old little girl with a tantrum, who could not win an argue and henceforth made a scene and acted shamelessly. This was actually something I was good at.  

“One going toward left…… another going toward right…..” Kang Zi Xian was just contemplating when abruptly, he burst into a laugh. Afterwards, seeming to be in a good mood, he said, “What if by a chance we were walking around a round shaped flowerbed?”

I was completely defeated by him. I jumped up to fiercely blurt out, “Then lets tear down the flower bed! No, no, blow it up! Blow it up!” 

Seeing me flying into a rage, he turned his head to smile with a profound expression on his face. The moment he smiled, I thought that I saw all the beauty and radiance of this night gathered on his face. 

Was he a secret son of Takeshi Kaneshiro? Me, “the bad woman”, finally couldn’t help myself and had to swallow the saliva.
