60. Drowning image

''Are you nuts? What makes you think that I would be willing to be your assistant for 3 months. Do you think I'm out of my mind or what?''

Li Zhilan couldn't beleive that this stupid idiot brat took her words seriously especially when there was mockery and sarcasm hidden between her words earlier. Assistant, for a whole 3 months? She gotta be sick in the brain if she accepted that. On top even if she had to accept it, there was only less then 2 months for her to stay. What make a promise you are going to break just to save another one? Just break the first promise then.

''You are going to break your promise?''

''Not exactly. I'll find out a way. People who doesn't want to help may stay out of it.''

''Hey. I was just joking. You want help and I don't give it? Is that even possible.'' Qi Longwei quickly said as he saw that Li Zhilan was really going to stop asking and is on the verge of breaking her promise. She never breaks her promise, atleast before, when they were kids. Well she did break once but Qi Longwei strongly believed that she had a reason for it. A very strong one at that.

On top of that, he didn't want the girl he loved be troubled. He always wanted her to be that carefree girl while he will work hard to support her from behind. If he couldn't even help with such a small thing, though he still doesnt know what it is, he might as well forget to protect her throughout her life and step back, which was, no way in hell, happening. He wasn't stepping back, come what may.

While Qi Longwei was sure of himself that he would help Li Zhilan in every way he can, Li Zhilan started noding her head.

''Yes. It's possible. Infact, it's highly possible. It would be a wonder if you helped without wanting something. Tell me what do you want? Be honest, what are you planning?''

Li Zhilan was so damn sure that this miser of a Qi Longwei won't help without getting something in return. If she was asked to beleive one thing between Qi Longwei doing something without wanting anything in return and a mountain jumping, she would choose to beleive in the later without a hitch. That just proves how ruined Qi Longwei's image is in her mind.

Seeing that she really didn't beleive him, Qi Longwei was left completely flabbergasted. He knew that his image in her mind was low but he really didn't think that it was this low. Comeon, he just tricked and pranked once or twice her and there and few time. Well maybe a hundred times but still, this low? Qi Longwei no longer knew what to do and regretted all his actions that lead to such a consequence.

''Really. I don't want anything. I swear. Why don't you just take me to solve your problem if you don't beleive me. I won't ask a question about what it is until I reach ther and find out myself.'' To redeem his image a little, Qi Longwei had to agree to such a thing. He knows he won't like it, whatever it may be, but he had no other choice. He had to save his drowning image at all cost or he could forget about gaining Li Zhilan's favor.
