Wang Ying never expected that Yang Cheng would become interested in Xie Qiao again just because she hadn't looked at him for a short while.
"Seriously? Your tastes have changed that quickly?"
Yang Cheng said, "I was just asking."
"It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you."
Zhao Shucheng arrived at their private room at that moment. Seeing the drunk Xie Qiao, he asked, "Qiao Qiao, are you alright?"
Although Xie Qiao's eyes were blurry with drunkenness, she still recognized Zhao Shucheng and threw herself into his arms, saying, "Qin Chuan, why are you here? Why did you take so long to come?"
Zhao Shucheng said, "I've already rushed here as fast as I could, okay?"
Unfortunately, Xie Qiao was really drunk. After glancing at Zhao Shucheng, she immediately passed out in his arms.
After finally getting her back to school, just as Zhao Shucheng was about to let Xie Qiao crawl through the fence into the dormitory, Xie Qiao woke up and burst into tears upon seeing Zhao Shucheng.
"Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?"
"Qin Chuan, I've been dumped!"
Everyone else looked at Xie Qiao and Zhao Shucheng with some surprise after hearing this. After all, apart from Wang Ying, everyone else thought that Xie Qiao liked Zhao Shucheng. Now Xie Qiao said that she had broken up with him. Could it be that Zhao Shucheng had fallen for someone else?
Remembering how close Wang Ying and Zhao Shucheng had been before, Xu Lin couldn't help but say, "Wang Ying, you know Xie Qiao likes Qin Chuan, how can you be so greedy?"
Wang Ying was taken aback for a moment, and said, "No, what does this have to do with me?"
Zhao Shucheng said, "Alright, this has nothing to do with Wang Ying. You guys go back first. I'll take care of Xie Qiao and send her back in a bit."
"Okay then, but the dorm rooms lock at 10:30."
"understood!"
Seeing that Xu Lin seemed about to say something, Wang Ying pulled her and Xiao Qianxi back to the dormitory first.
When Xie Qiao saw that Xiao Qianxi had also left, she burst into even louder sobs, expressing her grievances, her feelings about He Xiaozhou being with Xiao Qianxi, and even the fact that He Xiaozhou had no feelings for her at all.
After Zhao Shucheng offered a long speech of comforting, Xie Qiao finally calmed down. She looked somewhat embarrassed at Zhao Shucheng's clothes, which were soaked with her tears, and said:
"Qin Chuan, I'm much better now, I'm going back first."
"Alright, there are plenty of fish in the sea. You'll definitely meet someone better in the future, so Qiaoqiao, tomorrow will be better."
When Xie Qiao returned to the dormitory building, she saw Wang Ying waiting at the door, who helped her back into the dormitory.
The next day.
After Xie Qiao woke up, she remembered what had happened yesterday. She carefully erased the lyrics that came with the cassette tape she had bought for He Xiaozhou, word by word, as if she could erase the unrequited love that had ended before it even began.
Just then, Yang Cheng came to find Xie Qiao early in the morning.
After the two met, Xie Qiao asked Yang Cheng why he took off the ring.
Yang Cheng told her that when she was a child, her parents were going through a divorce, and her mother was also stuck on a ring and couldn't get it off, so she used this method.
Taking advantage of Xie Qiao's momentary daze, Yang Cheng was about to kiss her without saying a word.
Xie Qiao stared blankly at the other person, and just a few millimeters away, she suddenly realized what was happening, took a step back, and said, "What are you doing?"
"Xie Qiao, I like you. Since you've also broken up with your boyfriend, and Xiao Qianxi, whom I used to like, is now with He Xiaozhou, why don't we give it a try?"
Xie Qiao shook her head after hearing this and said, "That's impossible. I don't like you, why would I try? Sorry, I have class, I have to go!"
As she spoke, Xie Qiao hurriedly ran away, as if a wolf was chasing her.
Wang Ying was actually watching all of this from upstairs. She was so nervous when Yang Cheng kissed her.
She felt she had to take action; at the very least, she couldn't let Yang Cheng and Xie Qiao be together. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to face Xie Qiao, and she would truly have no chance left.
Xie Qiao had just broken up with her boyfriend, but was now being pursued by Yang Cheng. Feeling frustrated, she went to Zhao Shucheng's milk tea shop to chat with him.
When Zhao Shucheng saw Xie Qiao arrive, he handed his work to his newly recruited employee and asked, "Qiao Qiao, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be in class right now?"
"I'm just feeling down, so I came to chat with you. You know what, Xiao Chuan Ge has a girlfriend now, and she's my roommate Xiao Qianxi, the one you mentioned with the nicest voice and the most polite."
Zhao Shucheng said, "Now that you're sober, do you blame her?"
"I don't blame her. After all, she doesn't know I like Xiaochuan Ge. Besides, she's a good girl, and she's the prettiest girl in our class. Xiaochuan Ge has good taste. If you ask me if I'm really sad, I am a little sad because I'm also a little jealous of her. You know I'm a little petty, but that's normal because that's love."
As she spoke, Xie Qiao started crying again. This time she was sober and didn't dare to cry in Zhao Shucheng's arms. She just sat there silently shedding tears.
Zhao Shucheng handed her a tissue and said, "So what are you planning to do now?"
"I don't know either, just give me a lifetime award for unrequited love!"
As she spoke, she leaned gently against Zhao Shucheng, as if that would make her feel a little better.
Zhao Shucheng glanced at Xie Qiao and said, "Alright, do you remember what I said yesterday? Out with the old, in with the new. Maybe something even better is waiting for you."
Xie Qiao suddenly thought of Yang Cheng, who had confessed to her, and realized that Zhao Shucheng was completely wrong. She had lost Xiao Chuan Ge, but was confessed to by a playboy. Wasn't this getting worse and worse?
With Zhao Shucheng's comfort, Xie Qiao finally felt much better. Just as Zhao Shucheng was taking her back to school, Wang Ying and Xu Lin came looking for her.
Xu Lin went straight to Zhao Shucheng and said, "Xie Qiao drank too much yesterday and couldn't get some things cleared up. You're the one who fell for someone else and hurt Xie Qiao, right?"
Zhao Shucheng said, "You've got it wrong. Xie Qiao and I have never been together. I don't know if we will be together in the future, but at least for now, we are just childhood friends."
Xie Qiao and Wang Ying quickly pulled Xu Lin away, telling him not to misunderstand Zhao Shucheng.
After finally calming Xu Lin down, Wang Ying pulled Xie Qiao aside and asked, "I heard from Yang Cheng that you two are dating. What's going on between you two?"
"No."
Wang Ying asked, "You're really not his girlfriend?"
"No, he confessed his feelings to me this morning, but I didn't accept him at all." "But he told me that you admitted it."
“When did I admit it? He was pursuing me this morning, but I rejected him, and I was very firm about it. How could he be like this? Tell me, Yang Cheng and I have absolutely no connection. We've barely exchanged more than ten words. How could we possibly be together?”
Wang Ying had actually guessed a bit, and said, "That's good. There's nothing impossible about him, only things you can't imagine. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Xie Qiao had actually guessed that Wang Ying might like Yang Cheng, otherwise she wouldn't have told them about Yang Cheng's womanizing ways in the dormitory, hoping they would ignore Yang Cheng.
However, she felt that Wang Ying's actions were useless. After all, even if the people in their dormitory didn't like Yang Cheng, there were other girls. Could Wang Ying keep an eye on them all?
That night, Xie Qiao received a text message from an unknown number on her phone. Upon asking, she discovered it was from Yang Cheng.
She glanced at Wang Ying across from her, but still replied to Yang Cheng's message.
Yang Cheng, after being rejected by Xie Qiao today, became even more excited. However, he didn't expect that when he followed Xie Qiao, he would see that Xie Qiao and Zhao Shucheng were very close. So he couldn't wait to find out what the relationship between Zhao Shucheng and Xie Qiao was.
Xie Qiao didn't think there was anything shameful about her relationship with Zhao Shucheng, so she directly told him that she and Zhao Shucheng were childhood friends.
Taking the opportunity, Yang Cheng brought up his suggestion from earlier that morning again, urging Xie Qiao to seriously consider making her his girlfriend.
Xie Qiao naturally couldn't agree, but Yang Cheng didn't think Xie Qiao was really rejecting him; she was just shy. So he planned to start pursuing Xie Qiao tomorrow.
The next day.
While Wang Ying was in class, she received a text message from Yang Cheng asking which classroom she was in.
When she saw Yang Cheng actually appear outside the classroom, she happily went to find him, only to find out that he had come to see Xie Qiao.
Wang Ying's smile froze instantly, and she returned to the classroom to tell Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao didn't expect Yang Cheng to still be so persistent, so she had no choice but to come out and talk things out with him.
Yang Cheng also claimed to be Xie Qiao's boyfriend, leaving Xie Qiao speechless. She could only say that even if she had agreed before, they had broken up now.
Zhao Shucheng was busy with the milk tea shop when he suddenly received a call from Qin Qian. It turned out that she had also returned to Shanghai and was starting a business with Tan Hui.
Qin Qian accidentally saw the ring Tan Hui had in the safe and realized that Tan Hui had bought the ring as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, ready to propose to Qin Qian at any time.
Qin Qian readily agreed, so they prepared to get married. Although they couldn't tell their parents, they couldn't have a wedding without any relatives, so they told Zhao Shucheng.
Zhao Shucheng wasn't too surprised to hear that Qin Qian was getting married, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. To be honest, Zhao Shucheng didn't think this was a good choice for them to get married. Qin Qian's decision not to tell her parents, and even to keep it a secret from them, showed her lack of confidence in their relationship.
"Sister, I think if you two decide to get married, you should tell Mom and Dad first."
"You know perfectly well that Mom and Dad have always been against me being with Yihui. Are you suggesting we tell them and let them force us to break up? Xiaochuan, whose side are you really on?"
Zhao Shucheng said, "The reason they opposed you being together before was not because of Yihui as a person, but because of his job. To put it nicely, he's a Taekwondo instructor; to put it bluntly, he's a street thug. You were fighting with him every day. How could your parents not worry about your safety? That's why they opposed you being together and even sent you abroad."
“But you can’t keep it from your parents forever, so the best option is to let them know that you truly love each other, and also let them know that Yihui has really turned over a new leaf and will no longer do dangerous things.”
Qin Qian fell silent after hearing this. Although Tan Hui seemed to be doing alright, he was actually still skirting the edge of the law. Although she had already reached an agreement with President Cao to open a beauty salon together, the future was still uncertain.
But Qin Qian wouldn't give up on being with Tan Hui so easily; marriage was already a done deal.
"Xiao Chuan, I know about all the things you've said. We're working on it now, and Mom and Dad will eventually agree. So, are you coming to my wedding or not?"
Zhao Shucheng sighed and said, "You're my only sister, and you're getting married soon. I might be the only female guest on your side of the family, so how could I not come? By the way, I'll bring Xie Qiao along, so she'll have another member of the bride's family."
Qin Qian asked, "Speaking of which, you've been back in the capital for a while now. How are things between you and Xie Qiao? Are you two together?"
"No, I have my own career now, and I'm busy expanding my business empire every day. I don't have time for relationships at all. Don't worry about me. Focus on yourselves, make money as soon as possible, and guide Yihui onto the right path so that Mom and Dad can accept him as their son-in-law."
"I understand. Just wait and see. Our beauty salon will definitely be a success after it opens."
Zhao Shucheng turned around and told Xie Qiao about Qin Qian's upcoming wedding, and told her to get ready so that she could go to Shanghai with him in a few days to attend the wedding.
Xie Qiao was surprised that Qin Qian and Tan Hui were actually getting married. As someone who grew up in the hutong, she naturally knew about Tan Hui and Qin Qian's love story and was happy for them to get together.
"Really? That's wonderful. Sister Sisi just got married like that. Do your parents and grandma know about it?"
"How could I possibly know? That's why she made me sneak home and steal the household registration book."
"Sister Sisi is so cool!"
Zhao Shucheng said, "Handsome? What's so handsome about him? If I have children in the future and he dares to get married without telling his parents, I'll break his legs. Tan Hui is also cowardly; he dared to marry my sister but didn't have the guts to get his family's approval. He'll never amount to anything."
"Since you look down on Tan Hui so much, are you still planning to go?"
"How can I not go? It's my sister's wedding, and I might be her only family member. I have to go and support her, right? That's why I'm inviting you to come along. At least this way, Tan Hui will know that my sister isn't all alone."
"Since you've said so, I'll go with you."
At this very moment, in the girls' dormitory, Xu Lin and Wang Ying are working hard in front of their computers.
Wang Ying looked at Xu Lin, who was practically typing away at the keyboard, and then looked at her own computer with a touch of heartache, saying:
"Type slower, type softer, I still need my computer keyboard!"
"This kid's pretty strong. I'm going to fight him to the death today."
Xie Qiao returned at this moment and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
“Someone posted on the forum criticizing Qianxi, saying really nasty things. We’re currently waging a war of annihilation against them. You need to help me come up with some words quickly.”
Wang Ying said, "I don't know who it was, but the title was 'Revealing the Female Lead of Jane Eyre,' and there are already hundreds of replies." (End of Chapter)
