Chapter 44: Sealing My Heart with Cement

For Jiang Qin from his previous life the three characters “Chu Siqi” were the nightmare of his entire university years.

It took him many years to walk out of that nightmare to learn to let go to learn not to treat love as everything in life to learn not to blame all mistakes on himself.

Now reborn he really had no feelings at all for Chu Siqi.

No not just no feelings.

In order to maintain inner peace and harmony he even suppressed his disgust for Chu Siqi in his heart to show her the minimal courtesy he had.

This is called upbringing.

Otherwise he would really be howling curses at her now.

But hearing Chu Siqi say to go back to before Jiang Qin really felt goosebumps rising all over his body going back to before was really too cruel this woman should go be the Minister of Punishment instead.

“Junior is this your friend?”

Zheng Qinglong slightly furrowed his brows asking tentatively.

When pursuing Chu Siqi he had inquired early on this junior didn’t have a boyfriend but he didn’t understand who this person who suddenly appeared was.

He hadn’t even moved yet the goddess junior he painstakingly asked out took initiative to go up to him but this guy still had an annoyed look hurrying to back away?!

Zheng Qinglong didn’t understand how could this discrepancy be so strong?

“Jiang Qin is my high school classmate.” Chu Siqi lightly bit her red lips.

Jiang Qin didn’t want to get involved in this bullshit anymore so he looked up at Dong Wenhao: “Dong just contact me by phone if you have something if it really doesn’t work come find me at the main campus I won’t come to the east campus anymore.”

“Ah? Oh oh okay.”

The suddenly named Dong Wenhao woke up from shock subconsciously responding then looked at Jiang Qin with a complex expression thinking the boss wasn’t bullshitting he really knew Chu Siqi!

Even more unimaginable was that a goddess junior like Chu Siqi would actually relentlessly pester Jiang Qin this was too fake right?

But what was even more fake was that footsteps sounded again from the walkway on the left side of the garden.

Hong Yan came with light and brisk steps wearing a tight-fitting short dress with a slim waist matched with thin black silk stockings and a pair of black heeled leather shoes.

She walked to the middle of the garden slightly stunned when she saw the scene in front then cutely stopped in her tracks.

“Aren’t we going to eat? What are you all doing?”

Jiang Qin coughed then spoke: “It’s nothing just a little misunderstanding let’s go eat first.”

“Oh oh okay.” Hong Yan subconsciously glanced at Chu Siqi then took steps to follow.

“Jiang Qin do you really like Hong Yan? I’m telling you if you take her away I will never acknowledge you again in this life.”

Seeing him be so gentle to Hong Yan Chu Siqi was instantly furious feeling like a few bloody holes had been stabbed in her heart.

Hearing this Jiang Qin widened his eyes: “There’s still such a good thing killing two birds with one stone? You must not go back on your word!”

“What are you saying? Jiang Qin you’ve gone too far!”

Seeing this scene the few people who had just sobered up fell into endless silence again.

Isn’t that Hong Yan one of the campus belles?

There’s a campus prince in the literature department called Wang Junyi he played guitar under her building for five days but couldn’t ask her out.

In the end Jiang Qin called out lightly and she obediently followed him to eat?

“Jiang Qin come back here I’ll give you one last chance do you hear me?!”

“Abracadabra abracadabra abracadabra.”

“????”

Jiang Qin waved his hand put away the expression on his face and took Hong Yan out of the east campus heading all the way to Food is Heaven on South Street.

It was now the busiest lunch hour South Street was crowded with noise and smoke.

All the way Jiang Qin and Hong Yan didn’t speak maintaining silence then found an outdoor seat next to the main road and sat down.

It wasn’t until the dishes were served that Jiang Qin slowly started chatting about the past.

His acquaintance with Chu Siqi the three years of secret love after the passionate confession at the end of the college entrance examination he poured it all out in detail to drink to.

Hong Yan sat in the chair with her legs together one hand propping her chin quietly listening subconsciously putting herself in the role of the female lead feeling the liking of the boy in front of her.

But after hearing these stories she was a bit puzzled feeling that Jiang Qin didn’t seem to have told everything.

Because in her view Jiang Qin was mature and steady seeming to see through the essence of all things at a glance someone like him had no reason to like a girl with Chu Siqi’s personality.

“Then do you have someone you like now?”

Jiang Qin put down his empty wine glass: “I have sealed my heart with cement.”

“What does sealing your heart with cement mean?” Hong Yan asked in confusion.

“It means not believing in love thinking dating is bullshit only believing in interests working hard to make money to let myself and my loved ones live well.”

Hong Yan’s gaze couldn’t help but dim a bit: “Then… have you ever met a girl that made you feel moved? Besides Chu Siqi.”

Jiang Qin pursed the corner of his mouth: “A boy in this life will only be love-brained once there definitely won’t be a second time.”

“But you have to get married you can’t be single for life right?”

“That won’t happen so I’m working hard hoping a rich woman can come keep me.”

Hong Yan felt he was joking but hearing the answer couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed: “Jiang Qin why are you telling me this?”

Jiang Qin filled his own glass: “I don’t want to cause trouble for others so I want to explain those misunderstandings I hope you and Chu Siqi can still get along well after all you will spend your entire university time in the same dorm room it’s not worth turning against each other for someone.”

Hong Yan pursed the corner of her mouth knowing that the “others” he was talking about was actually herself he didn’t want to trouble her didn’t want her to turn against her roommate hoped she could have a harmonious and warm university life.

You see even when this person is so annoyed he is still considerate of others how could little Hong Yan not be moved.

But he doesn’t like her.

But so what if he doesn’t like her she still wants to like him.

Hong Yan felt that she suddenly had an inexplicable courage that could support her to say her liking.

But just at this moment footsteps suddenly sounded behind her three beautiful figures strolled along the noisy long street.

One was Chu Siqi who had changed her outfit the long dress had become a short skirt slippers changed into leather shoes her originally plain face had light makeup on looking extremely exquisite.

The other was Wang Huiru her expression was very tangled her eyes full of worry one hand pulling Chu Siqi as if afraid she would rush out.

The last person Jiang Qin had never seen before she was called Si Huiying also Hong Yan’s roommate at this time her face was full of coldness murderous aura staring straight at Jiang Qin.
