Chapter 18: Earning Money in the Provincial City! (1/2)

Today was supposed to be Liu Ruoxin’s happiest day.

Since Zhao Qingfeng’s leap from the building and his subsequent withdrawal from school, Liu Ruoxin’s heart had been filled with a sour feeling, finding everything unreal.

But she later came to a realization, thinking that Zhao Qingfeng was ‘pulling a big move’.

After all, having been intimately involved with him for a month, she knew best that Zhao Qingfeng was always ‘full of tricks’. Perhaps this time, he jumped from the building to catch her attention, aiming to be with her?

Men, after all, care about their pride, which is quite normal.

So, Liu Ruoxin’s visit this time was to ‘lower her own value’, to close the distance between them, and return to their sweet times before.

But, unfortunately.

She encountered Shen Lingyao.

All the wonderful fantasies that had just ignited were extinguished in an instant.

“Who are you, touching me like that? Don’t you know that men and women should not touch each other?”

Shen Lingyao swiftly broke free from her grip, standing proudly beside Zhao Qingfeng.

The way she stood.

It was as if she was declaring sovereignty.

And Zhao Qingfeng did not stop her.

This made Liu Ruoxin’s originally joyous heart twist instantly.

“Who is she?”

Liu Ruoxin asked Zhao Qingfeng, unable to hide her resentment.

“What are you doing here?”

Zhao Qingfeng asked, frowning. If possible, he never wanted to see this woman again in his life.

“I asked you who she is!”

Liu Ruoxin’s voice grew louder. A woman understands another woman best; she could see love and hostility in Shen Lingyao’s eyes.

Shen Lingyao was also angry.

Why did this woman suddenly appear? Brother Qingfeng had never mentioned her before.

But she guessed something.

This might be related to Brother Qingfeng’s one-month transfer experience in the provincial city. She immediately took over the conversation, saying to Liu Ruoxin, “Who I am is none of your business. Who are you? Brother Qingfeng asked you what you are doing here, why don’t you answer?”

Brother Qingfeng?

Such an intimate nickname…

Liu Ruoxin felt even more upset, turned to leave, but couldn’t let go of her feelings.

Just a few days ago, Zhao Qingfeng was so nice to her.

But now.

He was so cold, and there was this girl beside him whose beauty was not inferior to hers, which was unbearable for her.

Suddenly, Liu Ruoxin remembered something, glaring at Shen Lingyao, “I get it, you must be his childhood sweetheart! I tell you, Zhao Qingfeng doesn’t like you at all!”

Before Shen Lingyao could react, Liu Ruoxin quickly pulled Zhao Qingfeng aside and spoke in a somewhat humble tone.

“Zhao Qingfeng.”

“I shouldn’t have rejected your love.”

“I never thought you would be so brave.”

“I’ve realized it.”

“You forced the vice principal to let you withdraw from school by jumping off the building, not because of this woman, but…”

“Because of me, right?”

“You’ve always had me in your heart, otherwise, why would you have such a big reaction after I rejected you?”

“You’re with her just to make me jealous.”

“She’s just your second choice.”

“Just like…”

Saying this, Liu Ruoxin pointed to the trunk of the Santana, looking in Shen Lingyao’s direction, “Like a spare tire.”

There were many students passing by, and the noise was loud, so Shen Lingyao didn’t hear anything.

Zhao Qingfeng looked gently at Shen Lingyao, smiling and raising his eyebrows at her, then turned back to Liu Ruoxin with a hint of sarcasm.

“Do you think you are RMB that everyone has to remember you?”

“I was young and naive before, causing you trouble, and I apologize. From now on, let’s go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other.”

“And please remember, the girl you just pointed out is not any kind of spare tire.”
