My girlfriend (1)

The person in the driver’s seat didn’t hear anything, driving the car seriously and smoothly towards the destination.

Perhaps shaken by the deadly five consecutive questions on the phone, the subtle silence lasted for quite a while. Tang Xin finally laughed dryly.

“Your boyfriend is quite interesting.”

As soon as his words fell, the two people in the front seat turned around in surprise, making no effort to hide their curiosity.

“Qianling, you have a boyfriend?”

Yue Qianling wanted to facepalm, but her hand rose halfway, paused for a moment, and then waved her hand instead.

“You focus on driving.”

Now, everyone in the car was waiting for Yue Qianling’s answer. She couldn’t escape it, so she reluctantly flashed a stiff smile.

“You guys won’t drink alcohol later, will you? I haven’t gotten my driver’s license yet.”

But her avoidance couldn’t dispel the desire of these people to ask questions.

“Are you from the same university?”

“Where is he from? How’s his background?”

“Do you have any pictures to show us?”

Yue Qianling had never felt a 10-minute car ride so unbearable.

“He’s a classmate.”

“He’s from Jiangcheng, and his background is average.”

“He’s not very good-looking, so I can’t show his photo.”

As she brushed off her friends’ questions, she took out her phone, opened the chat with Lin Xun, and typed a few words through gritted teeth.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: You just wait for me-

Halfway through the late-night meal, the topic of the table still revolved around Yue Qianling’s “boyfriend” from time to time.

Everyone was shocked that Yue Qianling had found a boyfriend who was not only ugly but also had average conditions. In this day and age, why did flowers always like to be inserted on cow dung?

Only Tang Xin, who had drunk a little alcohol, asked, “Is he good to you?”

Yue Qianling had become numb to everyone’s inquiries and was filled with resentment towards Lin Xun. She sneered and blurted out, “He’s very good.”

“……”

The four people at the table all looked at her with an expression that seemed to say, “Your relationship doesn’t seem very happy.”

Tang Xin lowered his head and smiled, saying, “As long as he’s good to you.”

Another girl expressed her dissatisfaction and immediately retorted, “What’s the point of him being good to you? When looking for a boyfriend, it’s better to have good conditions, and at the very least, he should be handsome. Being good to you is the cheapest form of love. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be more convenient to find a nanny?”

Yue Qianling: “You’re right. I’ll break up when I get back.”

“……”

College love, after all, was not very reliable, and with Yue Qianling’s uncooperative attitude, the topic concluded. Everyone then started chatting about their respective love lives.

After more than half an hour, the group finally headed home.

Once back home, Yue Qianling was in a hurry to break up. Without even greeting her parents, she rushed into her room, closed the door, and made a voice call to Lin Xun.

The first call went unanswered, so she dialed a second one.

She continued calling four more times, but he still didn’t answer, and she called again for the fifth time.

As she waited for the call to connect, there were suddenly two knocks at the door.

Before Yue Qianling could say “please come in,” she had only turned her head halfway when the door was hastily pushed open, and a sharp voice was heard at the same time.

“I heard you have an ugly and useless boyfriend?!”

Following that, her dad trotted all the way up to her. “I heard he’s also poor?! And he doesn’t treat you well?!”

“……”

Yue Qianling bravely turned her head back, and as expected, she saw Mr. Yue Wenbin and Mrs. Ju Yunzhen with faces full of anger.

She didn’t need to ask, it must have been someone who had joined her for late-night snacks tonight had probably informed her parents, and then some uncle or aunt had likely informed Yue Qianling’s parents.

However, this piece of news underwent several rounds of processing before reaching her parents, and she didn’t know how it had turned out in her parents’ ears.

When her friends were gossiping, she could still keep a straight face and talk nonsense. However, facing her parents’ questioning, Yue Qianling really didn’t know how to fool them.

Seeing her speechless, Ju Yunzhen thought she had admitted it, and she reached out and pinched Yue Wenbin twice, “Look at you, just look at you! I said at the beginning that we should let the child participate in more summer camps during the winter and summer vacations to broaden her horizons. This way, she wouldn’t be easily deceived by some guy in the future. But you found it troublesome and disagreed. Now, see what’s happened?!”

Yue Wenbin didn’t want to take the blame and immediately retorted, “Was it because I found it troublesome? It’s our daughter herself who didn’t want to go. She preferred staying at home playing games. If you ask me, it’s your fault for indulging her and buying her such an expensive gaming laptop. Otherwise, how could she spend all day at home not learning anything?”

Ju Yunzhen: “What’s wrong if the child likes playing games? How expensive can a computer be? Are you suggesting she should go to internet cafes every day? Besides, I don’t buy her everything she wants. Last time, she wanted an incredibly expensive keyboard, and I didn’t agree. Tell me, did you secretly buy it for her?”

“Don’t wrongly accuse me, I didn’t buy it!” Yue Wenbin was never a match for his wife in a quarrel. He lacked logic and just said whatever came to his mind. “It’s not wrong to like playing games, but it’s wrong to have bad taste in men!”

Ju Yunzhen sneered and crossed her arms. “Well, there’s nothing we can do. The child takes after me, and I have bad taste in men!”

Yue Wenbin: “If you want to talk about the child, talk about the child. Why bring me into this?”

Yue Qianling was still thinking about how to deal with her parents, but she didn’t expect them to start arguing first.

She couldn’t stand it anymore, so she quickly intervened.

“Mom, Dad, can you finish arguing before coming to listen to my explanation?”

Ju Yunzhen glanced into the room and saw Yue Qianling holding her phone for a voice call. She adjusted her expression and said, “Do you have something to do? Then I’ll go out with your dad first, and you can come out later to talk to us.”

The door closed, and the room finally became quiet.

Yue Qianling’s gaze returned to her phone screen, only to find that the call had been connected for 56 seconds.

“……”

Yue Qianling’s eyebrow twitched uncontrollably. Without much emotion, she asked, “When did you start listening?”

“Probably…”

Lin Xun’s voice calmly responded, “From when your parents started saying I’m ugly, poor, and not good to you.”

Alright.

Yue Qianling decided to completely let go of any restraint.

“Since you’ve heard it, let me be honest. My parents don’t agree, so let’s break up.”

“Can’t you reconsider?”

Lin Xun said seriously, “Actually, I’m not poor.”

He paused, his deep voice carrying a hint of a smile. “And I’m quite good-looking too.”

The clear and pleasant voice of a guy saying such things gave an inexplicable bewitching feeling.

Yue Qianling’s mind began to uncontrollably imagine his appearance, and because of the hand he had shown before, his image actually had a rough outline.

Wait a minute—

Yue Qianling patted her forehead.

What was she thinking?

“If you open Zhihu now and search for ‘What’s the experience of being a handsome guy,’ you’ll see what those guys who think they’re handsome actually look like.”

“……”

Yue Qianling continued expressionlessly, “You don’t need to persuade me anymore. Now, you have two choices, either break up or eat my fist.”

“Is there a third option?”

“Yeah, eat my fist first and then break up.”

“Do you have to insist on breaking up?” Lin Xun’s tone remained casual as usual, with a hint of a teasing tone, “Why don’t you tell me what I did wrong? I’ll change it next time.”

Yue Qianling could only sneer. “No need, just remember to change it in your next life.”

While saying this, Yue Qianling’s door was suddenly pushed open again.

She frowned and turned around, saying, “Mom, can’t you knock on the door?”

“I forgot. I’ll definitely do it next time.”

Ju Yunzhen insincerely apologized, but her gaze wandered to Yue Qianling’s phone screen.

Yue Qianling, thinking she was sitting upright, didn’t try to hide anything and allowed her mother to look openly.

It was just that from that distance, Ju Yunzhen couldn’t see much, only vaguely discerning what seemed to be a man’s avatar. Putting down the things in her hands, she said, “Your Uncle Tang made crispy pork, I put it here for you. Come out and watch TV after you finish the call.”

“Oh, okay, got it.”

As Ju Yunzhen turned around, Yue Qianling suddenly thought of something and asked again, “Mom, who sent the crispy pork?”

“Of course, it was Tang Xin. Who else could it be?” Ju Yunzhen glanced at her phone again. “Why are you asking this?”

“Nothing… Mom, you go out first, I’ll be out in a bit.”

Ju Yunzhen left the room again, and Yue Qianling resumed her expressionless face.

She was about to speak when Lin Xun’s voice came first, “Tang Xin is that guy?”

Yue Qianling didn’t think about it and just responded with a simple “Hmm.”

Immediately, she heard Lin Xun give a cold laugh, and the call fell silent.

After a while, Yue Qianling scratched her head, “It shouldn’t be, he said he’s pursuing a classmate.”

Even Yue Qianling herself didn’t have the confidence when she said this, let alone Lin Xun.

“If you think it’s unlikely, why did you ask who sent it just now?”

“……”

Her little thoughts were directly exposed by someone behind the internet, making Yue Qianling embarrassed. She was dumbfounded for a moment before she remembered that the purpose of this phone call was to ask him to account.

She quickly raised her voice.

“Shut up! You heard it just now. Later, I’ll go out and explain to my parents about this boyfriend of mine. Speak up, how do you want to die?”

“Isn’t that easy to explain?”

There was no guilt in Lin Xun’s voice. “Tell them the truth, that it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Yue Qianling snorted coldly. She was about to say that she would truthfully explain when she heard him say again, “Tell them your boyfriend isn’t ugly, not poor, and treats you quite well.”

“……”

“Get lost!”
