[R18] These men are poisonous – “These Men Are Poisonous” Chapter 157 [English]

Chapter 157 Three-Year Agreement

After lunch, Zuo Ning said he wanted to continue typing, but the apartment was extremely quiet, and no one dared to disturb her.

However, after sitting at the desk and typing on the keyboard for a long time, when she turned around, five pairs of eyes were all looking at her. It felt like… she was about to get inspired to write a horror novel.

Reluctantly closing the notebook, Zuo Ning turned around and faced the five men on the sofa: “How about you all have a fight, a life-and-death fight, and I’ll follow whoever lives in the end, how about that?”

Seeing that neither of them spoke, she simply picked up the notebook and went back to the room.

If someone asks her what worries her now, she will definitely answer that there are too many men pestering her and she has a headache. However, such an answer will probably make people want to strangle her to death. After all, it is too hateful.

The five men were silent for a long time, and finally Qiu Yibai spoke first: “Aren’t you a psychiatrist? What is her condition now?”

Fang Jinglun rolled his eyes angrily: “Doctors don’t heal themselves, haven’t you heard of it? How can you use medical theory to treat the woman you like? If psychiatrists are so good, then the world will be full of love saints.”

After a pause, he slowly said: “I think she has gone to another extreme now. She is trying to control her emotions because she is afraid of getting hurt. In essence, it is still the same as before, it is still a subconscious escape behavior. The difference is that in the past, she pretended to be strong, but now… she is really strong enough in her heart.”

Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but glared at Yu Haonan: “If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t be like this.”

Yu Haonan gritted his teeth, looked down at the floor, and remained silent.

By the time Zuo Ning was alone in the room and finished the basic number of words she required for herself every day, it was almost four o’clock in the afternoon.

Thinking that she and Gao Xia were going to the supermarket to buy ingredients, she even changed her clothes before leaving the bedroom. Unexpectedly, she smelled a very fragrant smell as soon as she opened the door.

In the kitchen, Gao Xia has been busy making cakes for a long time. In addition to the ingredients for desserts, there are also many fresh vegetables and meats. Apparently he has already gone out.

Moreover, Fang Jinglun was actually helping Gao Xia. Although with Gao Xia as a foil, his movements seemed very unskilled.

“Have you finished writing?” Gao Xia smiled slightly at Zuo Ning at the door, “The cake will be ready soon. You can eat some first, and I will teach you how to make it again.”

Zuo Ning went to the bathroom to wash his hands. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Qiu Yibai inside, who was standing tall and tall. He was washing her underwear and pajamas that were soiled by him taking them off and throwing them on the ground this morning.

And there was actually another person in the very back of the bathroom.

Seeing Yu Haonan in a suit rolling up his sleeves and washing the mop with unfamiliar movements, Zuo Ning was so shocked that he almost couldn’t open his mouth from ear to ear: “Are you okay? What are you doing?”

“Mopping the floor.” Yu Haonan’s face was serious, and he was so excited that he mentioned all the housework to discuss the project.

When Zuo Ning walked to the living room, he discovered that Wen Kaian was holding a rag and carefully wiping the glass of the balcony window. His movements were as awkward as Yu Haonan’s. At first glance, he had never done such a job before.

“Are you…are you really okay?” Zuo Ning wanted to pinch himself to make sure he was dreaming. Why did these men suddenly become so strange?

Gao Xia put the freshly baked cake on the dining table, looked at Zuo Ning and smiled: “We chatted for a while and wanted to make an agreement with you.”

“Agreement?” Zuo Ning glanced at the men who were busy in various fields, feeling inexplicably frightened, “What agreement?”

“You unconditionally accept our pursuit, and the five of us will compete fairly. It is limited to three years. If you still fail to fall in love with one of us after three years, then all of us will leave voluntarily and will never cause trouble to your life. If you can make choices and decisions during this period, then the other four will withdraw unconditionally.”

Zuo Ning’s face was full of disbelief: “What kind of agreement is this?”

“This is the best way we can think of.” Fang Jinglun walked out of the kitchen and rarely looked at her seriously, “Ning Ning, give us a chance, and give yourself a chance. In fact, originally, I didn’t need to make this agreement with them, because you have promised me not to push me away in the future, but I don’t want to be such a rogue, and I don’t want to tie you down with your gratitude to me.

So, I hope we all have choices for each other.If I still can’t impress you after another three years, then I will give up forever; if after three years, you still insist on not wanting love or caring from any of us, then we will never pester you again and give you freedom.”

Gao Xia nodded: “Me too. Although you promised me to accompany you, I… want to give it a try. Because I want more, not just my wishful companionship.”

Yu Haonan and Qiu Yibai had both come out of the bathroom, and Wen Kaian was standing in the living room, squeezing the rag in his hand. Everyone looked at her seriously, but there seemed to be some unconcealable nervousness in their eyes.

“Ning Ning, can you?” Gao Xia handed the cut cake to her, “Take three years to get an answer that is both our answer and your answer.”

“But… wouldn’t three years be too long? I think half a year…”

“Sometimes it only takes half a year for me to film a movie.” Qiu Yibai looked at her with an aggrieved face, “Ning Ning, Gao Xia and I both have to join the team frequently. After three years, we can only be with you for a few months at most. You can’t be so cruel, right?”

Yu Haonan also said: “My company has a lot of things to do, I often can’t leave, and I have very little rest time.”

Fang Jinglun looked at her pitifully: “I have to go to work on weekdays, and my family often forces me to go back to spend time with my elders on weekends and holidays, so I don’t have much time.”

Wen Kaian smiled lightly at her: “I’m on a business trip for a few months, so of course I don’t have much time, so you can rest assured that we won’t pester you often, let alone disturb your normal life.”

So, are these people selling themselves out collectively?Why do everyone look like they are having a hard time?

Zuo Ning felt uncomfortable being stared at by them. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that this agreement had nothing to lose to her anyway. She simply waved her hand helplessly: “Okay, okay, it’s up to you. Anyway, I won’t be responsible for anyone’s feelings. If anyone feels hurt and regrets it, don’t blame me. Also, don’t be a rogue at that time, and don’t stay in my house like today and refuse to leave.”

Seeing the men all heaving a sigh of relief and seeing the cunning look in their eyes, Zuo Ning always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t tell.
