Qiqi: "Mm-hmm, really? He had no choice but to keep that dog! You know he has a record, right? The police even came by his place recently for an investigation. To show he's a caring person, he adopted a dog from the shelter..."
Lying to her best friend again made Qiqi feel guilty, so she wolfed down some spicy chicken wings.
So spicy~~
Zhuang Ruotong: "Still, he has to genuinely love the dog! Look how well he treats it—he even lets it sleep in his bed! If he didn't truly like that husky, why would he let it lie there?"
Qiqi: "No way? I bet the dog jumped onto the bed itself! You don't know how careless my cousin is—he often forgets to feed it! I end up not only taking care of him but also cooking for the dog..."
Sure enough, one lie needs countless others to prop it up; sigh, Zhuang Ruotong, I'm so sorry!!
Qiqi felt guilty inside.
But Zhuang Ruotong's eyes widened: "Oh my god, you cook for the dog? That's wrong!"
Qiqi was puzzled: "What's wrong with it?"
Zhuang Ruotong replied: "Dogs should eat dog food! You can't give them human food! It's bad for their health!"
Qiqi rolled her eyes to the sky—I'd love to give him dog food too! The problem is, would he eat it? I cook for him every day, and he still picks at it, complaining it's not as good as the imperial chefs in the palace...
But out loud, she quickly agreed: "Oh, oh, you're right! I'll buy some for him later, I will..."
Zhuang Ruotong shot her a look: "Tsk, you cheapskate, when will you ever actually buy it? Seriously! I'll take you to get some! We'll get imported stuff! The most expensive! Count me in for the charity too!"
She put on a show of being loaded.
Qiqi was embarrassed: "No need! I don't want you to spend money again, that's not right?"
Zhuang Ruotong winked her sexy eyes at her: "Oh, I'm the most caring person, you know that, right?"
Ugh, so annoying, knowing full well I can't resist a beauty...
Qiqi was dazzled by the beauty and nodded obsequiously: "Yes, yes! Miss Zhuang Ruotong, you're the most caring rich person under heaven..."
"Wrong—"
Zhuang Ruotong extended a finger painted with red polish, wagged it, then beckoned Qiqi closer: "Come here, I'll tell you a secret—"
"What secret?" Qiqi leaned in curiously.
"Actually, I'm a poo—:3uww—"
Zhuang Ruotong whispered in Qiqi's ear, then burst out laughing.
Her laughter was wild and unrestrained, drawing glances from nearby diners.
Qiqi didn't find the joke funny at all, so she wiped her sweat and nodded speechlessly: "Got it, got it, you're so poor you've only got money left..."
She started telling Zhuang Ruotong about the party, trying to distract her with gossip and fun stories. Of course, she left out the part about the man in black and the monster.
Zhuang Ruotong drooled over Zhou Yi and Lu Wei, cursing Zhou Zhibi's cunning while lamenting her own lack of romantic luck.
"You have to introduce Lu Wei and Zhou Yi to me later!" she pleaded.
Qiqi thought for a moment and replied: "Senior Lu is okay, but forget about Zhou Yi! I don't know him well, and I feel like he's too deep—I'm afraid he'd sell you out."
