Why haven’t you left yet? (2)

The reason the box was so big was because the shelf inside had not been disassembled much.

So, although it was a bit challenging to move, it was very convenient to assemble and only took about fifteen minutes.

Her phone kept vibrating during this time, but she ignored it, engrossed in the joy of assembling furniture.

After a while, she pushed the shelf to the corner of the wall and, seeing that the size was just right, she was satisfied and began stacking miscellaneous items on it.

It was already half an hour later when she looked at her phone messages.

Seeing Xiao Mai asking people to play games in the group, Yue Qianling surprisingly felt a sense of detachment.

Ever since she cried to them about her heartbreak, they seemed to have tacitly taken care of her mood and never invited her to play games again.

Now, they probably felt that her mood had recovered enough.

【Xiao Mai】: @GlutinousRiceTwist, are you coming?

Yue Qianling typed two words.

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: I’m coming.

Yue Qianling and Xiao Mai were the first to log in. After turning on the voice chat, Xiao Mai cleared his throat inexplicably, and his tone was a bit stiff.

“That… are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“You’re not sad anymore, right?”

Yue Qianling lowered her eyes, “What’s there to be sad about? Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but men with two legs are everywhere.”

Gu Xun heard this sentence as soon as he logged in, and he fell silent for a moment, saying nothing.

“Well, it’s good that you can think that way.”

Luo Tuo said slowly, “No matter what happens, yourself is the most important. Don’t be too sad.”

Yue Qianling responded with a quiet “Um.”

“So…” Xiao Mai hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Do you still like him?”

The three people in the headphones were suddenly very silent as if they were nervously waiting for her answer.

Yue Qianling pondered for a moment before saying in a muffled voice, “No, I don’t like him anymore.”

“Really, no longer like him?”

Lin Xun’s voice appeared very abruptly.

Yue Qianling blinked, “Do you have any objections?”

In the headphones, the person on the other end fell silent for a moment, then their tone suddenly became deep, “No, are you always this decisive?”

Yue Qianling snorted lightly, “You know what? Every time I run into him at my doorstep now, I have to restrain an impulse.”

Gu Xun: “What impulse?”

Yue Qianling: “The impulse to help him move.”

“……”

That’s not necessary.

Gu Xun covered the microphone and sighed heavily.

“He’s worthless in your eyes now?”

Yue Qianling buried her head in running away from the poison gas, not saying anything.

Gu Xun asked again, “You used to like him so much, he must be very excellent, right?”

Of course.

He was very excellent, both in appearance and in his abilities. He was exceptionally outstanding.

Otherwise, how could he be the perfect object of her love?

But Yue Qianling didn’t want to admit it at this time.

Every time she thought of his good points, it only added to her discomfort.

So she mumbled, “Of course he has some good points, but not many.”

Gu Xun let out a sigh of relief, lowered his voice, and casually said, “For example?”

Yue Qianling: “Good-looking.”

Gu Xun: “Hmm, that’s for sure. What else?”

He waited for a long time, but didn’t hear Yue Qianling speak.

“That’s it?”

Yue Qianling: “……”

Gu Xun: “……”

Damn it.

He endured for a long time before saying, “He must be very smart, right?”

Yue Qianling: “He’s still a lot worse than Einstein.”

“……”

Gu Xun endured again, “Then—is he very tall?”

Yue Qianling: “Not as tall as Yao Ming.”

Is she possessed by the spirit of nitpicking?

Gu Xun chuckled angrily, staring at the character on the screen for a while, and said, “Then he—”

He took a second to think of another of his good points. “He’s helpful, right?”

After saying that, he even choked on his words.

What the hell is that adjective?

“……”

But this time, it was Yue Qianling who was left speechless.

She always tried to find reasons for herself, telling herself that Gu Xun wasn’t that great.

She could ignore the obvious ones and pretend they didn’t exist, but when she thought back to the times she had been in trouble, Gu Xun had indeed treated her quite well.

“Oh.” But she didn’t want to admit it and stubbornly said, “Isn’t that a basic courtesy for elementary school students?”

The words “Yue Qianling” almost slipped out of his mouth, but Gu Xun forcibly held back, and asked in a suppressed voice, “Alright, then as an adult man, is he a player?”

“How would I know? I’ve never been his girlfriend—”

Yue Qianling finally sensed that something was wrong. She paused for a moment, and said, “Hey, what’s going on with you today? Why have you been speaking up for him? “

The person in the headphones fell silent for a while before saying, “I’m just curious about how you let go so quickly. Although I don’t know him, the fact that you liked him so much before means he must be someone worth liking.”

Luo Tuo and Xiao Mai, who had been unable to interject, tried to stop him several times.

Don’t say it, you bastard.

“So what? He doesn’t like me.”

Yue Qianling thought of another thing, and she felt more ridiculous and pathetic, “If you knew what he said about me to his roommate, you would…”

“What?”

“You would want to help me move him out.”
