Chapter 7

The air fell silent for a few seconds.

Xia Ying: …..?

Huh?

Could it be that she had been right, just by saying it casually (??? )!!

As if to confirm her thoughts, a sweet voice slowly came from the other side of the phone, “Yeah, it’s him, he hasn’t changed much, but he’s not as playful as before, he’s actually quite gentle and patient.”

Xia Ying: ?

Gentle?

Patient?

Are you sure the Duan Shiyan you met tonight isn’t his twin brother, Duan Shiyan?

How could he be gentle and patient!

Don’t think that just because he has a good-looking face that screams “player” and a pair of peach blossom eyes that could make even a dog feel loved, that he’s a central air conditioner who loves to spread warmth!

He’s actually a cold and arrogant straight man!

Many girls had secretly harbored feelings for him, but before they could even take out their love letters, they were scared off by his gaze and never had any thoughts again.

Even Qin Yiyao, who was radiating the scent of green tea back then, tried to get his attention by pretending to accidentally slip and fall into his arms.

He was able to take a step back, allowing her to fall flat on the ground.

Such a cold and arrogant young master, he treats everyone the same, whether they are male or female.

He would suddenly rush out of the company to meet someone, and then be so kind as to give his old classmate a ride home?

Without any ulterior motives, Xia Ying wouldn’t believe it even if she was beaten to death.

“Wu Bao, I suddenly feel…”

Xia Ying slapped the table, the cup rattled, “Duan Shiyan wouldn’t be… in love with you, would he?!”

Jinwu: ?

She didn’t even think, she quickly retorted, “Impossible!”

“Why is it impossible!”

Xia Ying quickly retorted, “I’ve always felt that there was something different about that kid towards you, you see, every week when it was your turn to check everyone’s appearance, he would always show up on time, that kind of luck, even others wouldn’t dare to dream of it.

And when he was the sports commissioner for a day, we were supposed to be punished by running five laps, but he suddenly called you to help him get some kind of application form, wasn’t he clearly trying to avoid you from running?”

“And isn’t there a saying!”

Xia Ying became more and more excited, the cup rattled on the table again, “Boys in puberty will like to bully the people they like, otherwise, why would they do so many strange and childish things, like pulling pigtails.

I think he’s clearly trying to get your attention! This kid might be secretly in love with you!”

“Wow! That’s hot! Isn’t this the second male lead taking over that I’ve been watching lately! And he’s Fu Yulchen’s arch-rival!

I can’t wait to imagine the look on that scumbag’s face when he finds out you two are actually together, he’ll be shocked and regretful, I’ll be so happy!”

Jinwu was stunned, one after another.

This was too much information.

And how could Duan Shiyan be secretly in love with her?

Secret love is so sour, how could someone who has been a prodigy since childhood be willing to suffer such a thing.

Jinwu paused, her hand holding the fork, and couldn’t help but recall the proposal he had made to her.

“Be with me, and I’ll help you get back all the pain and grievances he caused you, with interest.”

“Jinwu, choose me, and we’ll torture him.”

It was a tempting offer, she had to admit.

She was a little tempted.

But she was also afraid that she would get carried away and end up trapped, unable to turn back.

She was afraid that she would just climb out of one abyss and fall into a new swamp, she was afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

Jinwu lowered her gaze, a trace of sadness in her eyes.

She seemed to have lost the courage to love someone again.

“Wu Bao, I’m serious, do you want to try dating Duan Shiyan? I really think he…”

Xia Ying was in the middle of her sentence when Jinwu gently interrupted her, “Okay, I just want to be happy and single right now, I don’t want to get involved in love or anything.”

What’s so good about love?

It only betrays her, only makes her sad and hurt.

It’s better to focus on my career, be a strong woman with no emotions, a fortress.

Anyway, she hasn’t received much love since she was a child, she’s used to it, isn’t she?

Feeling that her best friend wasn’t interested, Xia Ying wisely shut her mouth and immediately changed the subject to something light and fun.

After chatting for a while, Xia Ying reluctantly ended the call when it got late.

The room fell silent again.

Jinwu put down her phone and looked down at the puppy-patterned bandage on her heel.

She couldn’t help but recall the image of the man bending down and carefully applying medicine for her, her heart skipped a beat.

She slowly looked away.

Just treat it as a simple encounter with an old classmate.

She probably wouldn’t be in touch with him anymore.

“Buzz—”

At this time, her phone suddenly rang with a Weibo notification sound.
