Good Man Operation Guide

“Wang Xuan.”

She called out, frowning a little unhappily, “Didn’t you say you loaned me all your money before? How come I saw you shopping at the mall yesterday?”

The teenager with his head bowed looked up at the sound of the voice and was first delighted to see it was her. When he heard her unhappy questioning, he quickly took out a pen and paper, and wrote an explanation.

[That was the money I earned the other day. I went to the mall to buy a gift for my neighbors.]

“Buy a gift?”

The young girl looked Wang Xuan up and down, with a look that said ‘you can’t lie to me’, “This down jacket your wearing doesn’t look like a bootleg version, does it? I’ve seen its price. It’s at least 3,000. It’s only been a few days, you managed to make over 3,000?”

“Did you lie to me and say that you gave me all your money? If you did give me all your money, where would you get the money to buy a down jacket? Such an expensive brand too!”

Zou Le became increasingly irritated as she spoke. Her pretty face revealed anger, “And you say you like me? Is that how you like someone?!”

Wang Xuan blankly looked down at the unremarkable down jacket on his body. Was it actually that expensive?

Seeing that Zou Le looked angry, he hastened to write and explain: [This is not mine, a kind neighbor uncle lent it to me to wear.]

“Who are you fooling!?”

Zou Le was at the same age as Wang Xuan now, and she couldn’t control her emotions well. When she heard that, she immediately looked up with disdain, “Who’s stupid enough to lend you such an expensive jacket? Aren’t they afraid that it would get dirty when you’re setting up the stall? Either they’re a fool or you’re lying to me!"

She was always impolite to Wang Xuan, or it may be because Wang Xuan’s attitude of carefully holding her in the palm of his hand, making her overconfident. Now, in Zou Le’s view, Wang Xuan was guilty of not giving her all his money.

But she was still too young, and this statement stung Wang Xuan’s heart. For Wang Xuan, who wanted to be close to the Lins, while feeling sad because his world was very different from the Lins; Zou Le’s disdainful tone in mentioning Mr. Lin’s kindness touched Wang Xuan’s bottom line.

Zou Le can say anything she wanted about him, but why mention Mr. Lin, a good man!

His face flushed red with anger. This was the first time he had looked at the girl he liked with anger in his eyes. When he wrote, the paper was scratched he because he pressed down too hard.

[You have gone too far! Why would I lie to you? This is what the kind uncle lent me. Even if you’re my girlfriend, you can’t be so unreasonable!!]

Zou Le, who was still angry, saw Wang Xuan glare at her. The anger in her heart grew. When she read the word ‘girlfriend’, she became even more angry.

Who wanted to be this mute’s girlfriend? She was just too strictly controlled by her family. In order to get good grades, she wasn’t allowed to pay attention to external things, she wasn’t even allowed to buy a phone, and her pocket money was usually too little.

Occasionally, she heard her classmates mention that he actually earned quite a lot from the stall, and wanted to work part-time during the holidays to set up a stall. This was why she turned her attention to the little mute and went to the stall in front of the school every day.

She observed for several days and found that Wang Xuan did earn more than she expected, and most importantly, Wang Xuan liked her.

Zou Le would occasionally visit Wang Xuan’s stall to buy something. Every now and then, Wang Xuan, who had a relaxed attitude toward other students, would lower his head shyly. His ears would turn red, and his eyes would dodge, not daring to meet her eyes when she spoke.

Most girls of her age had an intuition about that. They could always tell who liked themselves. Zou Le was beautiful and had excellent grades, and there were also some boys who liked her in school.

However, if she went out with those boys from the same school, they might be found out by the teacher. The teacher might call her parents about their relationship. And, asking for money from the boy would also be inconvenient. After all, they were in the same school. If the matter got out, she would certainly be laughed at

However, Wang Xuan was different. He was just a small stall vendor. He was the same age as her, didn’t go to school and worked at a stall. That meant that his family definitely didn’t support him. She was going to high school soon, and her parents had intensions of sending her to the prosperous capital. If she borrowed money from him this time, by the time she left the city, with Wang Xuan only knowing her name and being a young mute, he simply wouldn’t be able to find her.

After thinking about it, Zou Le deliberately approached Wang Xuan. By saying a few ambiguous words, taking advantage of the fact that there were very few students before and after school, the little mute would have tied his heart to her. At that time, she would borrow money, and he would give all his money to her without hesitation.

When Zou Le borrowed money, she used a family emergency as an excuse couple of times. But in fact, she used the money to buy a new phone, buy a laptop, and used the rest of the money to treat classmates to a meal. Then, she would buy beautiful clothes, and the finest things. At the end of the shopping spree, there wasn’t much left.

According to her original plan, she would stay away from Wang Xuan until she left on the holidays. She was going to go to her uncle’s house in the capital. By then, Wang Xuan wouldn’t be able to find her.

However, she saw Wang Xuan at the mall yesterday. And today, she saw Wang Xuan was wearing a new down jacket that she had once seen her cousin wear.

Her uncle’s family’s circumstances were much better than her family’s. Even so, her cousin had to beg her aunt for a month before getting the jacket. He proudly wore the down jacket to show off to Zou Le, and said they spent over 3,000 yuan. It was from a particularly famous brand, very warm to wear, and majestic. In school, his classmates were very envious of him.

Zou Le had been secretly comparing herself with her cousin since childhood. About grades and about who their grandmother liked better. She wanted that down jacket, but she had spent all the money Wang Xuan gave her. Because the source of money was unclear, she had to hide it from her family, and she couldn’t show off to her cousin at school.

Most importantly, she already bought the phone and computer that her cousin had.

The feeling of being outclassed made Zou Le very unhappy. The unhappiest thing was seeing the brand new down jacket worn by Wang Xuan, who she thought had given her all his money.

She really didn’t believe what Wang Xuan said, “You still have the nerve to be angry at me?! What neighbor uncle?! You clearly bought this jacket for yourself, it fits you so well. Are you saying that the neighbor uncle is as thin as you are?!”

Wang Xuan was stunned. Obviously, Mr. Lin wasn’t thin. Although he looked elegant, he was in good health, and he would always jog in the morning. Although it was hard to see in winter clothes, but he looked so much healthier than Wang Xuan.

But Mr. Lin’s down jacket somehow fitted his body perfectly. He felt that something was wrong, and something flashed in his mind. When he was trying to think about it, Zou Le angrily spoke in a slightly shrill voice, “You have nothing to say!? You obviously have money and you’re still lying to me! How much money do you have left, give it to me. Next time you do this again, I’ll never talk to you again!”

Zou Le’s approach was tried and true. Wang Xuan was eager for others people’s kindness, and he was willing to constantly yield in order to maintain that kindness.

But this time Zou Le didn’t get what she wanted. Wang Xuan, who was thinking of something, was interrupted by her words. Because she was his girlfriend, he couldn’t get angry at her, so he frowned and started to write on the paper.

[The jacket really isn’t mine, and I don’t have much money at hand. When will you pay back the money you borrowed from me last time? I want to use the money to attend school. I’m 15 years old this year, and enrolling in school when I’m older isn’t good.]

Zou Le never thought that she wouldn’t get any money, but would also be urged to pay back the money.

In the end, she was still young. Once she saw Wang Xuan asked for the money back, her guilty conscience couldn’t be suppressed.

“What’s the hurry? I’m your girlfriend, why can’t I use your money? “

Wang Xuan raised his eyes to look at her face guilt ridden face. He slightly narrowed his eyes, noticed something, and continued to write, [You’re my girlfriend, so I lent you the money. Now, I urgently need the money. Can’t you quickly return it to me?]

The guilty on Zou Le’s face was even heavier. This was completely different from what she expected. This was only March, and the holidays was still far away. She originally wanted to avoid Wang Xuan before leaving, so he wouldn’t be able to find her. The school gate guard didn’t allow other people to enter besides the teachers and students, so Wang Xuan wouldn’t be able to look for her. She could always endure it until the holidays.

However, when she saw the expensive down jacket from afar and remembered that she saw Wang Xuan at the mall yesterday, Zou Le completely forgot about avoiding Wang Xuan.

Before she could answer, Wang Xuan frowned at her and continued to write with his head down: [Also, you said you saw me at the mall yesterday. Why didn’t you come and say hello to me?]

“Wasn’t it because I went there with my classmates?!”

Zou Le was distracted. Seeing that sentence, she replied with annoyance, “If they see me with you, they’ll definitely gossip behind my back.”

She answered the question very quickly, because Wang Xuan used to accept her like that. She said she didn’t want her classmates to see and report her for having a relationship at a young age, and Wang Xuan cooperated by not having any dealings with Zou Le in front of other people.

But this time, because of Zou Le’s obviously guilty expression, there was a bit of suspicion in Wang Xuan’s eyes. He wasn’t some naive teenager, at least his world view was much more mature than Zou Le.

Zou Le would always calmly lying to him without flinching, and he might not be able to see it before. However, after she revealed her dissatisfaction because of the down jacket Wang Xuan wore and stammered about paying back the money, Wang Xuan would have more thoughts about it.

People would always compare things. Before he met the Lin family, Wang Xuan, who had never felt warmth from other people, might be happy with Zou Le’s little show of affection and would have subconsciously ignored the bad aspects for the sake of this good feeling as well as to maintain the boyfriendgirlfriend relationship.

Now, he knew what real relationships were. If it was Mr. and Mrs. Lin, they would only be happy for him when they saw him wearing an extra layer of clothes. Unlike Zou Le, who came right up and questioned him.

Although they didn’t look like people who lacked money, Wang Xuan could imagine it. If they borrowed money, they would write down a debt note, set a date to pay it back, and would always take the initiative to mention about paying it back. This was the ultimate borrowing procedure in Wang Xuan’s mind.

He always wanted to try that once. But unfortunately, because of his youth as well as being mute, he didn’t have any friends except for the kids in the organization, who were also living a hard life.

When Zou Le asked him for money, she said there was an urgent need at home, and Wang Xuan didn’t ask for a debt note. In his mind, since they were in a relationship, Zou Le would naturally marry him in the future. In that respect, this mature kid still had some naivety.

If Zou Le was having a hard time, or if her family couldn’t afford it, as a boyfriend, Wang Xuan could say that she didn’t have to pay it back. But in reality, Zou Le was riding a beautiful bike, wearing a new dress that she had obviously just bought, and her the little leather boots on her feet were polished brightly.

Wang Xuan’s eyes were rarely this stern. He sullenly wrote on the paper, [Your family was in trouble, but you still have money to buy new clothes and shoes?]

Zou Le’s face flashed with panic, and she faltered even more, “What new clothes and shoes? I bought them last year!”

[This dress is a new style this year, which is only available in the central shopping mall. There was no such style last year.]

Wang Xuan held the paper up to Zou Le for her to see. His pair of dark, round eyes looked at the other party with persistence.

“I misremembered. My uncle bought this for me. Eh ah, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have to go to class!”

Zou Le panicked and responded with a few words. She then stepped on the pedals and rode her bike away from the suddenly wiser Wang Xuan. However, before she could pedal away, her sleeve was grabbed.

“What are you grabbing me for!!! You just baked something! You’re rubbing oil all over my clothes!!!"

Zou Le also forgot to run away. She quickly threw off Wang Xuan’s hand, frowned and took out some tissue paper from her pocket, to wipe the area where she had just been grabbed.

Wang Xuan saw her unabashed disgust because of her anxiety. The fingers that grabbed her slightly trembled as he pursed his lips. Mr. and Mrs. Lin would gently smile at him, the old lady was warm, without the slightest hint of disgust. She would smile and place some candy in his hand. The subconscious disgust Zou Le revealed when they touched, finally chilled his heart.

It wasn’t the same.
