Chapter 14: He Already Has a Girlfriend
by xennovelWang Huiru was the kind of person who had a strong sense of time, which was why she had been the class math representative for three consecutive years. So she arrived at the Longwei Hotel very early, even earlier than Qin Ziang who had organized the reunion.
But she didn’t go directly to the hotel, instead wandering around the surrounding area for a bit.
That’s when she saw Jiang Qin.
At that moment, Jiang Qin was standing at the entrance of a snack shop, a black backpack in one hand while the other was petting a tabby cat sprawled on top of the freezer.
Wang Huiru thought he was also there to attend the reunion, so she went over to say hello and asked him when he had arrived.
But after chatting for a while, Jiang Qin said he didn’t plan to go to the reunion.
Wang Huiru was the type of well-behaved student highly regarded by teachers. She had a strong sense of responsibility and felt that since the classmates were about to part ways, there wouldn’t be many days left for them to gather together, so she decided to persuade him to go with her.
“Since you’re already here, just come eat with us.”
“Forget it, you guys go ahead, I don’t really like tagging along.” Jiang Qin used his fingers to tease the tabby cat’s little paws.
Wang Huiru suddenly remembered what had happened a few days ago, “Are you embarrassed about being rejected when you confessed? No one will laugh at you for that. Our class has a very harmonious atmosphere and you’ve always gotten along well with everyone.”
“We’ve already graduated. In the future, everyone will go their separate ways and barely see each other. If they want to laugh then let them laugh, who the hell hasn’t been rejected before? I don’t care about that, but that’s really not the reason I’m not going.”
“Then why?”
Wang Huiru refused to give up and continued asking, but before Jiang Qin could answer, a voice suddenly came from inside the snack shop.
“Jiang Qin, I want to eat these colorful crystal beads.”
Crystal beads?
After hearing this, Jiang Qin was a bit dumbfounded for a moment, and an image involuntarily appeared in his mind.
What the fuck are crystal beads? Those are tapioca pearls!
“You can’t eat that! Young miss, not everything in a snack shop is edible!”
Jiang Qin rushed in like a whirlwind, shouting as he went.
Wang Huiru heard that it was a girl’s voice, so she walked in out of curiosity. She then saw a girl in a floral dress with long hair down to her waist, a slender waist, and a graceful, exquisite figure that shone more brilliantly than a pearl. Moreover, she happened to know this girl.
Feng Nanshu.
The academic goddess who had ranked first in the entire school for three consecutive years, the silent and aloof rich young miss, a girl so beautiful she was dazzling.
Wang Huiru’s eyes widened in surprise as she watched Jiang Qin snatch a box from Feng Nanshu’s hands and pinch her rosy little mouth, peering inside anxiously for a long time.
What was going on here?
Was Jiang Qin dating Feng Nanshu?
Were they too busy going on a date to attend the reunion?
Wang Huiru thought back to the scene she had just witnessed, and that feeling of shock lingered for a long time. And at this very moment, the classmates were still laughing at Jiang Qin, completely unaware that he had already won over the true goddess of South City High School.
She really didn’t know what to say.
“Has Jiang Qin reached out to you recently?” Wang Huiru came back to her senses and looked at Chu Siqi.
“Why would he reach out to me? Even if he did, I definitely wouldn’t pay him any attention.” Chu Siqi replied, frowning.
“Do you know what he’s been up to lately?”
“I just heard from Guo Zihang that he’s probably still selling lunch boxes.”
Wang Huiru fell silent. It seemed her best friend had no idea what was going on with Jiang Qin. “Siqi, are you still waiting for Jiang Qin to apologize to you?”
Chu Siqi couldn’t help gritting her teeth, “Yes, I’ve waited a long time, but that guy can really hold out. He hasn’t even sent me a single QQ message.”
“Do you think he’s holding out?”
“What else could it be? He used to chat with me every day. Sometimes when I was in a bad mood, I would directly scold him for being annoying, but he always persisted gleefully. Now he’s acting all cold and aloof, isn’t he obviously just enduring it?”
Wang Huiru was conflicted, unsure if she should tell her what she had just seen. “Siqi, I’m asking you seriously, do you like Jiang Qin?”
Chu Siqi looked at her expressionlessly, “He’s making me so angry right now, how could I possibly like him?”
“But from my perspective, Jiang Qin no longer has you in his mind, while your mind is full of him.”
“That’s because he went too far, making me unable to let it go. I won’t forgive him until he apologizes to me a hundred times!”
Wang Huiru asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Then if Jiang Qin got together with someone else, would you be upset?”
Chu Siqi laughed coldly a couple times, “What does it have to do with me if he gets together with someone else? But that’s true, he can’t get me anyway. Sooner or later he’ll become discouraged and settling is also a good solution.”
“…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, let’s eat.”
After hearing her best friend’s words, Chu Siqi picked up her chopsticks and poked at her plate a couple times, but felt she had no appetite at all.
Because she was really annoyed.
She couldn’t understand why Jiang Qin didn’t get that she meant well. In this world, which girl just agrees right away when pursued? It’s not like she didn’t give him chances, she had even hinted that if he persisted there was hope. Wasn’t that enough?
She really wanted to see Jiang Qin regret his actions, but her wish never came true. This was probably the reason for her bad mood.
In the blink of an eye, the reunion was nearing its end. Because Chu Siqi had been chatting with Wang Huiru the whole time and later had an unapproachable expression, Qin Ziang never found a chance to talk to her. He could only suggest they go for a walk nearby, thinking to find another opportunity to get close to her.
Wang Huiru was actually quite nervous. She was really afraid Chu Siqi would run into Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu.
She knew her best friend’s personality all too well – willful and tsundere, needing the whole world to go along with her.
If she saw Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu together, she really didn’t know what would happen.
But fortunately, her worries were a bit unnecessary. Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu didn’t appear in their line of sight. It was just that Qin Ziang kept trying to stick close to them, which annoyed her quite a bit.
At the same time, on the snack street not far from the city center.
Feng Nanshu hugged a large pack of Want-Want snacks. After taking two bites, she looked up at Jiang Qin, “Do you like looking at breasts?”
“??????”
“You looked at my breasts fifteen times today…no, sixteen times.”
The corner of Jiang Qin’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself that although she was naturally airheaded, this directness was really a bit hard to handle. “I was just appreciating them.”
Feng Nanshu raised her hand and pointed to a store across the street, “Jiang Qin, what are adult products?”
“That’s something only adults can know about!”
“My birthday is February 3rd. According to the law, I’m already an adult now.”
“You call this being an adult? No, your understanding of this world is less than that of an 8-year-old.”
Feng Nanshu stumbled a bit, her eyes taking on a desperate look, “Your words are really hurtful.”
Jiang Qin laughed, “It’s fine, summer vacation is still long. You can learn slowly.”
