"He? Yes, that's him... the wanted criminal. He is the wanted criminal who General Yuan ordered the whole city to arrest, Hua Wuxie."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
I put my index finger to my lips and asked her, "Even if he is a wanted criminal, you can't say he is a bad person.
In fact, he is just not good at his studies and has only done himself a disservice. He is not a spy of the Qing army, nor does he mean to be a disservice. He is devoted to the country and wants to help the country very much!"
"Who are you? Why are you together with a person who is not good at academics and is equivalent to a charlatan?"
Kong Youci looked at me seriously, her serious eyes quite asymmetrical to her beautiful and gentle face.
"I said my name was Yuan Ziyi. Because the names were exactly the same, Hua Wuxie misunderstood me. As soon as he heard my name, he had plans for me. You should be able to imagine why I want to be as smart as you.
As an innocent citizen who was affected by the war, I fled to Liaodong City and had no one to rely on. I had no choice but to... I had to say that I was General Yuan's daughter so that Hua Wuxie would not abandon me. Do you understand?
Can you understand?" After saying that, I showed off my special skills as a TV actor and sobbed lightly.
"If you are telling the truth, then I sympathize with you, but you should not pretend to be someone else."
Kong Youci stared at me sternly, quite disgusted, and was clearly not interested in my sobs.
I knew I was wrong in pretending to be someone else, so I could only beg her forgiveness:
"As a real good friend of the general's daughter, please don't expose my identity, okay? That Hua Wuxie knows that you and I are good friends, and he even asked me to borrow money from you...
However, I won’t ask you to lend me money. Just tell him that you don’t have money to lend me because there are too many refugees and you are short of funds, okay?
Please don’t expose me, if Hua Wuxie knows that I lied to him, oh oh..."
"You and I are not good friends or even acquaintances, so of course I will not lend you money.
And you, pretending to be Ziyi, I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of Ziyi. I will find Ziyi, and then I will ask you to admit your mistake to her personally and apologize. If she forgives you, I will have nothing to say."
