Xie Longdou

"You were too into character." I told Li Honglie after Zhang Liu left.

Li Honglie falls onto an office chair in her room, and then leaned on her left hand, "How much are you willing to bet?" She asked in a honey-like tone, "I bet a thousand that he's straight."

"Ten thousand that he's not," I smirked, "he wasn't even interested in you."

She slams the arms of the chair, "Ten thousand!?" Li Honglie gasps, "Where did you get all of that money from?"

Li Honglie hasn't seen the screenshots of the conversation I had with Huang Xiaoyue, she only knew that I've received about three thousand from Long Jinglou.

"Got it from scamming a certain someone." I grinned, testing her if she's interested.

"Who?"

I walk over to the window, preparing to leave, "I'll leave it to your imagination." I stuck my tongue out before jumping out the window.

It has nearly been a week since I've been here in this fictional story. Nothing has changed much since the first day I'm here, still dramatic and over the top. The biggest change is that a certain someone has been badmouthing me on the internet.

Li Honglie didn't listen to what I said about "understanding your enemies first." So now I have "playboy," and the title of being a sexist flying around me, but I'm still known as one of the short kids and weak in physical combat.

But am I really weak? I'm not the type of person who's being pushed around, I often create 'unfair' fights. Even I know I'll lose, I ain't giving up either, even the smallest damage still left an effect on someone.

"Xiao Hao!" Zhao Lili calls out sweetly, "We've arrived!" she opens the car door for me.

As I was about to get off, she opens her arms, trying to hug me. "Don't treat me like a kid!" I pretended to be sweet.

My plan was pretending to be like the previous Xie Feihao, sweet and shy, but a naive idiot. [I'll never stop calling him that...]

Today was the day, the birthday of his grandmother who spoiled him so much, also the battleground. I felt so nervous that I'm ready to run ten miles away from here.

"Are you ready?" Zhao Lili asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes." I replied, even though I wanted to say 'no, I'm ready to piss myself because of how nerve-wracking this is,' I can't say it.

It was a hotel, from my point of view I can not see anywhere close to the top. If I have the time to count the number of stories of this building, I would.

"By the way, Xiao Hao. Why aren't you wearing new contacts?" Zhao Lili asked out of curiosity.

"Ah... it's uncomfortable." I lied to her face. I can't exactly tell her that I have a second identity created by Li Honglie. Both Zhang Yie and Zhang Liu are here at the party today, without my glasses, one knows my identity as Y and soon will be revealed to Long Jinglou. My identity is going to be revealed one day or another, but not yet.

Everything was so far was going to plan.

Xie Longdou was only a few years older than Xie Feihao, but unlike his younger brother, he's known as a genius: he's skilled to play many musical instruments and is multilingual at a young age. Many would say he's the genius of the century.

He hates it when others compare him with ones with higher names, like Zhang Yie or Long Jinglou. However, today was his day: he is the most qualified to be the next heir of both of his parents' company, and he is also qualified to gain the favor of the elder of the family: Zhen Liyue.

Zhen Liyue is known for being an independent woman and a fast thinker. The only reason Xie Longdou didn't gain her favor in the past years is that she is only kind to those who go against the world, in short, Zhen Liyue likes rebels who don't follow the rules of the world.

Since Zhen Liyue spoiled Xie Feihao out of pity, today Xie Feihao will lose her attention because he has always been a goody-two-shoes. Even if Xie Longdou won't gain his grandmother's support, he already gains the trust of his cousins, aunts, and uncles... but that's what everyone told him.

Xie Longdou peaks over his shoulder, Xie Feihao was casually eating food without a care in the world. Xie Longdou wanted to talk with Xie Feihao, he didn't like Xie Feihao, but he didn't hate him either. They often had neutral conversations without argument, other times Xie Feihao is too kind of his own brother. Xie Longdou never wanted Xie Feihao to be punished, after all, they are blood-related brothers.

Xie Longdou walks over, just about to open his mouth, Zhang Liu came to interrupt, "Isn't this the infamous Xie Feihao."

Anyone who's a stranger would think that Xie Feihao was being honestly kind, yet, Xie Longdou noticed that Xie Feihao was forcing a smile, "I hope you are having a wonderful time at the party."

"You're so short I barely noticed you." Zhang Liu laughs.

Xie Longdou rushes over and plans to tell Zhang Liu to pick someone your own size.

Xie Feihao overlooks the insult, "So, what brings you here?"

Zhang Liu looks frustrated, it seems as if he realized that whatever he says won't affect Xie Feihao. Then he grinned, "I learned a lot about you from Y and Li Honglie. Wait, what did they call you again? Oh yeah, 'two-faced.'" Xie Longdou paused.

Xie Feihao looks annoyed, "If you knew, why don't you grab your insults and stuff it up in your a-" Zhang Yie quickly rushed over and covered Xie Feihao's mouth, "Don't make a scene." He mumbled.

Xie Longdou turns around and pretends to ignore them, "F*ck off flamingo, no one was talking to you." Xie Feihao loudly whispered.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Zhang Liu laughs loud enough for everyone to hear, "Flamingo..."

Zhang Yie looked slightly pissed, "Then what is he?"

Zhang Liu stops laughing and looks at Xie Feihao. "Yapping chihuahua." He mumbled with a dead look in his eyes.
