Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Chapter 287 Important Words

Chen Jianji looked at Lin Qingxue, but looked away in an instant.

It landed on Zhang Xinyi.

"Go to the classroom, pack your things, and get ready to go home."

His voice was devoid of emotion, but it was clearly not his usual playful tone.

It was eerily calm.

Zhang Xinyi looked at the two of them from left to right, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

He simply stomped his foot, snorted, and walked away.

Seeing this, the other girls also silently followed.

In a short time.

Here at the stairwell.

Only two people remained.

Chen Jianji also showed no intention of staying.

Just as I turned to leave.

Bang~!

A soft sound.

Chen Jianji's arm was being held by a slender hand.

He paused, then turned around and looked back.

Lin Qingxue was staring at him.

"How much did you hear just now?"

Her voice carried a barely perceptible urgency.

Chen Jianji asked as he removed her hand.

"What difference does it make whether it's more or less?"

Lin Qingxue slowly withdrew her hand and nodded heavily.

"have."

Her gaze remained fixed on Chen Jianji as she explained.

"If you've listened to the whole thing, there's no need for me to add anything."

"But if you only heard the latter part, I feel it's necessary to clarify things with you further."

Until she finished speaking.

Chen Jianji finally let out a sneer.

"Lin Qingxue".

Suddenly I was called by my full name.

Lin Qingxue felt a sudden jolt, her palms tightened slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"What you say and what you do are always different."

"Therefore, I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight away, but when he reached the corner...

He paused, then added a sentence.

"The reason I said there was no difference is because we have no relation whatsoever."

"So you don't need to explain anything to me."

"Your words have no effect on me."

"that's all."

The sound still echoed in Lin Qingxue's ears.

But the figure around the corner had already disappeared.

"call..."

Lin Qingxue let out a long breath.

Some leaned dejectedly against the wall.

......

Chen Jianji walked back to the classroom door, but did not go in.

He simply leaned against the railing in the stairwell, quietly waiting for the young lady to finish packing and come out.

He looked down.

But then, the two sentences Lin Qingxue had just spoken in the hallway inexplicably echoed in my ears.

Can you explain this clearly?

Do those things even need explaining?

Chen Jianji's eyes were deep and somber.

And what about that line, "I wouldn't give up everything for someone else"?

Then what about her disregarding and distancing herself from her family for the sake of others?

Her mouth, besides spouting clever and seemingly plausible words, was only good for...

Not a single word of it can be believed.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about!"

At the same time, a voice came.

Chen Jianji's arm was also nudged.

He snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Zhang Xinyi.

"Oh, you've packed your things, right?"

"Are you going shopping with Shuxian and the others, or what?"

"cut..."

Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Because of that bet between you and my mom, my wallet is completely empty, and no one's willing to invest anymore. Have you forgotten?"

"Where would I get the money to go shopping?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianji smiled and reached into his pocket.

"I'll sponsor you. How much do you need? Is five hundred yuan enough?"

"Should we still write an IOU?"

"You can write it if you want."

"cut..."

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips, grabbed his arm as he was still taking out money, and walked out.

"Alright, I'm going back with you. There's nothing much to see here."

"Anyway, I'm going to take a long-distance exam tomorrow, so I have plenty of time. I'll just treat it as a trip."

"It won't be just 500 yuan anymore; you'd better expect a huge financial blow! Don't make me write an IOU again!"

As she pulled him along, Chen Jianji listened to her talk.

Watching the young lady's long hair flowing and pulling at his figure.

Chen Jianji couldn't help but laugh.

"Fine, fine, I won't let you write no matter how much you use!"

"Don't pull me! We're going up the stairs. If I fall and get disfigured, your aunt will beat you up if you can't find a girlfriend in college!"

"It doesn't matter what you look like, anyone who's interested in you is blind!"

......

The sounds of their playful fighting gradually faded into the distance.

It was just at the bottom of the stairs where the two of them went down.

Lin Qingxue stood silently to the side, her eyes lowered, her expression unreadable.

"Go to college..."

"Looking for a girlfriend?"

She clenched her fists and after a long while, she suddenly said.

"Xinyi is right."

"I must have been blind to have chosen you."

......

night.

The lights in the bungalows on the mountain were off, with only the nightlights on in the yards and chicken coops.

Chen Jianji lay on the bed, quietly staring at the ceiling.

Ding ding...

Just then.

The phone rang.

Chen Jianji picked it up and took a look.

Someone sent him a message.

The sender is...

[Dog skin plaster]

Chen Jianji showed impatience and sneered.

"Why is Ayan texting me in the middle of the night instead of contacting her?"

He hovered his finger over the button, but still clicked on it.

How much did you hear in the hallway today?

Chen Jianji pursed his lips, closed the interface, and didn't reply.

He had already answered that question in the hallway.

Of course, in reality he didn't listen to much either.

They could only hear some noise, but the young lady and the others were not there.

Only then did I step forward to take a look.

He was furious after hearing just two sentences.

It seems they haven't received any information.

The phone rang again.

Ding ding... Ding ding...

This time it was a phone call.

The caller ID also displays a note.

[Dog skin plaster]

Chen Jianji frowned.

I've already made it so clear today, why are you still calling?

He swiped his finger to connect the call.

He wanted to see what else Lin Qingxue wanted to say.

The moment the connection was made.

Both of them remained silent.

They were both so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.

After a long while.

Lin Qingxue slowly spoke from the other end of the phone.

"I just got home."

The voice just fell.

Chen Jian's already furrowed brows tightened even more.

He put his phone away and checked the time.

"It's 11 o'clock now, you just got home?"

The last school bus departs at nine o'clock, and it takes exactly two hours to get to Lin Qingxue's home.

But why did she go home so late?

I heard his question.

Lin Qingxue explained.

"Yes, I took the bus. Don't worry, I asked my parents to wait for me at the bus stop at the village entrance so we could go back together. It's very safe."

Chen Jianji was both angry and amused.

"Who the hell cares if you're safe? I'm just worried you'll miss tomorrow's long-distance exam! Everyone has to wait for you if you don't come!"

He finished speaking.

The two fell silent for a moment again.

Chen Jianji could only vaguely hear soft mutterings on the other end of the phone.

"You're swearing again."

Chen Jianji was too lazy to pay attention to her words.

This person will only find fault with him.

After waiting for a while, the other party still didn't say anything.

Chen Jianji spoke, somewhat impatiently.

"Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Qingxue finally spoke on the other end of the phone.

"I applied to the school to access the hallway surveillance footage, and then reported it to the authorities for record-keeping. That took some time, which is why it was so late."

Listening to her explain as if she were giving a project report, Chen Jianji was so angry that he laughed again.

"and then?"

"Why did you keep the surveillance footage? Are you saying you were bullied by Xinyi and her friends?"

"You called me in the middle of the night just to say this? Are you out of your mind?"

The other party was silent for a moment.

Only after Chen Jianji's side quieted down.

Lin Qingxue then spoke again.

"I was just afraid you didn't hear everything I said today, so I wanted to show you that I wasn't lying."

Chen Jianji snorted coldly.

"Are these things really that important? Why are you going to all this trouble to tell me?"

A calm voice answered from the other end of the phone.

"Nothing else matters, but one sentence is very important."
