174: Do you really like women?
Lei Zhen and Lin Miaozhen were dumbfounded again.
"Look, look! Are these even human words?" Hua Mingjun clicked his tongue. "You told me to wear underwear—if I didn't, you'd break up; if I did, you'd still break up. What am I supposed to do? That's why, Wang Jianguo, I shouldn't have gotten together with you in the first place. And this handsome guy, you two really aren't suited for each other."
Wang Jianguo immediately grew angry, standing up and shouting, "Surname Hua, how dare you call me Wang Jianguo?"
"Your name is Wang Jianguo." Hua Mingjun then looked at Lei Zhen and said, "Handsome guy, you're not suited for him. How about we give it a try?"
As Hua Mingjun spoke, he tugged on Lei Zhen's sleeve.
Lei Zhen was so frightened that he stood up abruptly: "B-Brother, please don't be like that. I am currently... currently his boyfriend."
Wang Jianguo originally brought Lei Zhen along just to make Hua Mingjun jealous, hoping they would reconcile once the latter apologized. He never expected Hua Mingjun to take a liking to Lei Zhen.
He couldn't tolerate this, so he walked out from his seat and stood in front of Hua Mingjun.
"Hua Mingjun, what do you mean by this? Are you seducing my boyfriend right in front of me?"
Hua Mingjun had already moved on and no longer cared about his ex-boyfriend's feelings: "Seducing? Can't you see that we fell in love at first sight?"
Lei Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "Brother, I certainly didn't!"
"See? He said no," Wang Jianguo shouted.
"Of course he says no when you're here. Try leaving, and I guarantee he'll fall for me immediately." Hua Mingjun was completely reckless now.
"How shameless! Fall for you? Only someone blind would fall for you! He is my boyfriend and my childhood friend; he can only like me."
"childhood friend? What nonsense! I think he just hasn't figured things out yet and has gone astray. He and I are true love."
Wang Jianguo was genuinely furious this time, cursing loudly right there: "Hua Mingjun, you shameless piece of trash! I'm going to scratch you to death!"
After saying that, he actually started physically attacking, scratching towards Hua Mingjun.
"Look, look! When you can't win with words, you resort to violence! Let's see who scratches who to death today!" Hua Mingjun dodged while launching a counterattack.
Just like that, the two grown men immediately started scratching each other with wild flailing punches, acting exactly like two old women.
The commotion here was too loud, and everyone in the coffee shop gathered around to watch the show.
Lei Zhen and Lin Miaozhen quickly rushed over to break up the fight.
A perfectly fine breakup negotiation thus devolved into mutual harm between two sissies, leaving the onlookers astonished.
Everyone started discussing animatedly.
"What's going on? Why are these two guys fighting?"
"It looks like a bust. This guy saw his boyfriend drinking coffee with someone else and immediately resorted to violence."
"No way. I thought they were chatting quite nicely just now?"
"Isn't it obvious? All three of these guys are gay, and the two who are fighting are jealous over the handsome one!"
Finally, Lei Zhen managed to separate the two.
To avoid further misunderstanding, Lei Zhen had to come clean.
"Stop fighting, both of you. I'm fake; I'm not Jianguo's boyfriend. I'm just his childhood friend. I'm straight, straighter than a steel pipe."
Hua Mingjun stopped upon hearing this: "What did you say? You two aren't in that kind of relationship?"
Lei Zhen quickly nodded: "Student Hua, Jianguo has actually been thinking of you constantly, which is why he found me to pretend to be his boyfriend to make you jealous. He still hasn't let go of you, so how could you hit him!"
After hearing Lei Zhen's words, Wang Jianguo immediately sat on the ground and cried.
Hua Mingjun was also stunned, unsure of what to do.
Lin Miaozhen finally understood that Lei Zhen was not gay.
Lin Miaozhen was both happy and sad.
She was happy that Lei Zhen was straight and she still had a chance.
She was sad that since Lei Zhen's sexual orientation was normal, why did he completely ignore a great beauty like her?
Wang Jianguo sat on the ground, crying harder and harder.
Lei Zhen pointed at Wang Jianguo on the ground and winked at Hua Mingjun, signaling him to go comfort him.
Hua Mingjun could only reluctantly squat down: "Jianguo... no, Lina, was what Lei Zhen said true?"
Wang Jianguo looked up at Hua Mingjun through tear-filled eyes: "What do you think? You heartless thing, you even scratched me?"
Hua Mingjun said, "I didn't even scratch you, okay? Look at my face, what a mess it is! Your face is completely fine."
Indeed, Hua Mingjun had been badly scratched by Wang Jianguo, and his face was stinging painfully.
Wang Jianguo glanced at the other party's kitten-like scratched cheeks and immediately laughed.
"Serves you right! Who told you to play for real with me? Now hurry up and help me up."
Only then did Hua Mingjun quickly help Wang Jianguo up.
Wang Jianguo stood up, dusted himself off, and then looked at the onlookers.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a couple fight before? If you haven't, go home and fight with your own man!"
His shout scared the onlookers, who quickly scattered.
After all, everyone had witnessed his 'Wang Clan Nine Yin White Bone Claws,' which was no joke.
After Wang Jianguo finished speaking, he looked at Hua Mingjun: "Didn't you take a liking to my childhood friend? Since Lei Zhen and I aren't a couple anyway, how about I play matchmaker for you two?"
Lei Zhen quickly waved his hands upon hearing this: "No, no, no. I'm not interested in men."
Hua Mingjun also smiled: "Actually, I was just pretending earlier, just to see if you cared about me."
"A man's mouth is a deceiving devil. The way you looked 'in love at first sight' just now didn't seem fake," Wang Jianguo pouted.
"There's no such thing as love at first sight. My heart only holds you." Hua Mingjun stepped forward grinning and reached out to wrap his arm around Wang Jianguo's waist.
Wang Jianguo didn't refuse, leaning into Hua Mingjun's embrace: "Then why were you so fierce to me just now?"
"I already said I was pretending. If I had really scratched you, would your face have no marks at all?" Hua Mingjun said.
Actually, Lei Zhen could tell that Hua Mingjun had simply lacked the skill to scratch the other person, yet now he was using it as an excuse for being considerate.
But Wang Jianguo believed him: "Then will you still make me angry in the future?"
"How could I make you angry? I don't have enough time to love you." Hua Mingjun hugged him tighter: "Let's go. I'll take you somewhere, and we can have a good, in-depth exchange."
"Hmph, you want to take me to that kind of place again."
Wang Jianguo whined coquettishly, but his body showed no resistance whatsoever.
The two of them walked out, embracing each other.
Lei Zhen and Lin Miaozhen exchanged glances, completely surprised by how quickly the plot had reversed.
"They just reconciled?" Lin Miaozhen was dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, they were trying to scratch each other to death, and now they're back in the honeymoon phase?
Lei Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth: "The world of men loving men is truly incomprehensible. This must be the legendary 'fighting at the head of the bed, reconciling at the foot of the bed,' right?"
Indeed, when a couple quarrels, there's nothing that can't be solved by a good round of sex.
Their eyes met, and finally, both couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Jianguo and Hua Mingjun reached the doorway. Wang Jianguo suddenly turned back to Lei Zhen and shouted, "Lei Zhen, I'll send you Zhang Liang's address via WeChat later. Thank you for today."
After speaking, the two disappeared hand-in-hand through the doorway. Where they went and what they did next is left entirely to the reader's imagination.
Lin Miaozhen looked at Lei Zhen affectionately: "Brother Zhen, do you really like women?"
