“Of course I know that you don’t understand him! That’s why you should ask yourself why you chose him! I’m warning you, you’d better stay away from him…”
A sneer cut Chu Boyang off.
The two of them turned their heads in unison.
Ji Fengmian walked out of the bedroom slowly with a smile on his face.
However, her smile was cold.
!!
Looking at the clothes she had changed into, Chu Bo raised his eyebrows in frustration.
“Why did you come out?”
“Can’t I come out?” Ji Fengmian replied with a smile. “Aren’t you tired, Chu Boyang? Why do you have to interfere in everything? What does it have to do with you whether he has a boyfriend or not?”
Chu Boyang rubbed his temples and exhaled. “Mian, stop fooling around…”
“Who’s fooling around with you?” She walked to the sofa and pressed it against her coat. “I happened to see the two of you arguing. I’m not considered someone unrelated to you at the moment. I suddenly wanted to reason with you… Of course, it’s mainly because I’m a little confused…”
“I’m used to being carefree. I’m too content with the current situation and I rarely think too much about some things. That’s why I don’t like to reason with others now. I don’t want to reason either, so there might be a problem with my worldview… The confusion in my mind now involves a few people. I’ll take the opportunity to figure it out and see if my worldview is wrong… If the conclusion is that I’m the one causing trouble…”
She paused and gave a laugh before picking up her coat and putting it on. She tidied her hair as she spoke and looked at Chu Boyan.
“You haven’t answered my question. Ji Qing isn’t your long-lost sister, and she didn’t sacrifice herself or her life because you were in danger. You wanted to buy a house for her, and you also arranged for her to attend school. You said that we’ve known each other since we were young. Alright, I’ll take it as a reasonable reason.”
But I don’t understand why you wouldn’t agree to her dating no matter what.
Ji Qing finally understood what Ji Fengmian meant. “…Sister Mian, it’s not what you think…”
Ji Fengmian reached out to stop her. “At the moment, you don’t have the right to speak for him.”
Ji Qing bit her lips with a complicated expression.
Ji Fengmian blinked slowly and looked at Chu Boyang. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did my question stump you?”
She buttoned her coat and her slender fingers slowly slid into her pocket. Looking at his frosty face, she continued to smile calmly.
“Or… are you actually curious about the answers to these questions?”
Chu Boyang said coldly, “No.”
Ji Fengmian frowned and said, “Then tell me, why did you have such a big reaction when Ji Qing found a boyfriend?”
“Because that man isn’t trustworthy.”
“Oh.” Ji Fengmian nodded. “Which man do you think is trustworthy?”
Ji Fengmian took two steps towards him with a smile and said, “You?”
Chu Boyang frowned.
“What nonsense are you spouting?!”
“Let’s break up.”
It was still that smiling face and that unhurried voice.
Chu Boyang suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time. It wasn’t until he was sure that the words he had heard were really from Ji Fengmian that his cold voice sounded.
“I disagree.”
“I didn’t ask for your opinion.” Ji Fengmian turned to look at Ji Qing. “There’s no need to find a man to reassure me.”
Ji Qing’s face paled.
So she could tell.
“I’m not. I just want to be in a relationship…”
“You just want to use this method to stay by his side with a clear conscience.”
Ji Qing was speechless.
Although she had always known that Ji Fengmian had always been smart, she realized that she had underestimated her.
“You know what kind of person you are. You also think that no one knows him better than you. So, what’s the point of showing your sincerity in front of me with this trick that you’re sure Chu Boyang will see through?”
Although he was asking her, Ji Fengmian didn’t want an answer.
With that, she pursed her lips and turned to leave.
Chu Boyang wanted to hold her hand, but Ji Fengmian said coldly, “I don’t think you have a better ending than asking me to leave. It’s obvious that I don’t want to hear anything from you now.”
Chu Boyang’s hand froze on the spot. Ji Fengmian walked to the door and changed his shoes. He opened the door and left without any hesitation. His back view was so resolute that it sent chills down one’s spine.
Chu Boyang’s face was ashen as he brushed his hair in frustration.
Ji Qing stood rooted to the ground with a pale face. Looking at Chu Boyang, her heart trembled in fear.
“Brother Boyan, I’m not…”
Although Ji Fengmian said that she suddenly had a boyfriend because he wanted to reassure her, she didn’t want her to care so much about her staying by Brother Boyang’s side. She wanted to tell her that she wasn’t a threat to her.
“I really don’t mean anything else.”
Chu Boyang closed his eyes, his mind filled with Ji Fengmian’s gentle words.
They had broken up.
Indeed, she had never wondered if he really agreed.
She always seemed to be like this. When she was happy, she could do anything.
1
After a long separation, she could let bygones be bygones and continue to be friends.
If he wanted to be with her, she could accept him easily.
She was unhappy. No matter what, she could find the wrong reason.
She was still the same as when she was young.
Exactly the same.
Even their separation was clean and heartless.
Her forehead was swollen, but Ji Qing was still standing in front of her.
“If there’s nothing else, get lost.”
Ji Qing bit her lips hard and felt terrible. “Brother Boyang, I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I’ve never thought of separating the two of you. But… Sister Mian minds that I’m by your side. I also know that she has been fighting with you because of me recently. I have no choice but to think of this…”
“I still feel that it’s impossible for you to waste your time on that kind of man. If it’s your own will, I have no right to care about you. But you shouldn’t force yourself to make things difficult for me and make her feel at ease. She’s so smart…”
Her voice suddenly paused as if she had thought of something. She suddenly laughed and said, “Yes, she’s so smart. That’s why she didn’t congratulate you during dinner.”
From the start, that woman had seen through everything.
He thought he was the only one who understood.
Ji Qing was speechless. The only thing she knew was that she had messed up.
It was wrong to say anything now.
If it wasn’t a solution, it would always be nonsense.
“You can go back.”
Chu Boyang was frustrated. He had never expected things to turn out this way.
Ji Qing hesitated for a while before asking, “What about Sister Mian?”
Chu Boyang opened his eyes and his gaze was cold. “Don’t interfere.”
Frightened by him, Ji Qing clenched her fists before biting her lips and running away.
Chu Boyang leaned against the sofa and pressed his fist against his forehead. He looked exceptionally dispirited.
When Ji Fengmian returned in the afternoon, he was very calm.
The apartment was very clean. She entered the room and changed into her pajamas. She lifted the blanket and lay down.
It was as if nothing had happened.
She had always been like this. When she was happy, she was not arrogant. When she was unhappy, she was always calm.
Her temper was not good, but she was never irritable.
Sometimes, she would put on a cold face and say a few harsh words. Sometimes, she would just smile lightly, looking lazy but with hidden needles.
She didn’t seem to have any offensive power, but her destructive power couldn’t be underestimated.
Looking at her now, she looked as though the person who had broken up was someone else.
It was not unreasonable for Chu Boyang to call her heartless.
She just didn’t want to spend time on something troublesome.
Since it was a bad thing, it must be worse.
Besides, there was no need to waste time.
Was she the one who said that she wanted to break up and lock herself up?
There was really no need.
Besides, she was full and sleepy.
She didn’t have the energy to be sad.
During dinner, there was a knock on her door.
She slept the entire afternoon.
Dazed, she glanced at the darkening sky outside and opened the door.
Chu Jing stood outside the door and frowned when he saw that she looked like she had just woken up.
“You skipped class to sleep?”
Ji Fengmian leaned against the door frame. “What’s the matter?”
Chu Jing pursed his lips and said, “It’s time to eat.”
“Yeah.”
She responded and straightened her body. Chu Jing asked again.
“Did you really just take a nap?”
Ji Fengmian frowned and walked towards the dining room. “What else do you want to say?”
Chu Jing followed beside her and said, “Chu Boyang is downstairs. I heard that he has been waiting for four to five hours. Although it’s normal for couples to have a little conflict occasionally, you have to be careful! Otherwise, if you go overboard in the end, you’ll cry. Speaking of which, what happened between the two of you?”
Ji Fengmian had already walked to the dining room and sat down.
“Yes, we broke up.”
Chu Jing stopped pulling the chair and looked at Ji Fengmian in disbelief.
“You… What did you say?”
Ji Fengmian repeated patiently, “I broke up with him.”
“They broke up?!”
Chu Jing couldn’t control his volume and led Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu over.
“What… what’s going on? You’re joking, right? Why is it so sudden?” Chu Jing continued, but he silently placed his hand on another chair and pulled it open. He pulled open Ji Fengmian’s seat and sat down silently.
“Do we have to choose an auspicious date to break up?”
Chu Jing shook his head. “That’s not necessary, but… Chu Boyang is waiting for you downstairs.”
“Must I go out just because you’re waiting for me?”
