Chapter 18 Romantic History

Whether Jiang Wanjun was talking nonsense or not, only heaven, earth, she, and Zhu Tingyue knew, but Shen Yanqiu did not. Therefore, the one who was angry today was Shen Yanqiu.

He knew he was not good enough for Zhu Tingyue, but he never expected that he would be so unworthy in Zhu Tingyue's eyes.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at Jiang Wanjun, and said coldly, "Oh, the one you mentioned, I do like it. What else is there? Tell me."

Jiang Wanjun liked "her" personality, so she started to chatter on and on: "Do you remember that senior who pursued you in college? He was a top student. He was the unattainable beauty of the art department, but didn't he fall at your feet?"

"There was also a junior from the same school who was incredibly handsome and eloquent. He would bring flowers and wait for you on your way to school every day."

"If you ask me, those two aren't even the best. The most amazing one has to be Xu Qingjia. You two were so happy back then! It's a pity he went abroad later. He should be coming back soon, right? Doesn't he often like your posts on WeChat Moments?"

As if deliberately trying to provoke Shen Yanqiu, she went to pull Zhu Tingyue's hand as she spoke.

However, her usually close friend seemed like a different person today; she wouldn't let her hold her hand, and the two of them kept a great distance between them.

Shen Yanqiu listened expressionlessly. Zhu Tingyue's romantic history was indeed quite rich. Compared to these people, she was really nothing. Fortunately, she had self-awareness.

Zhu Tingyue was already ashen-faced. Although the two had broken up, there was no reason to be sarcastic to her face like that.

Seeing that Shen Yanqiu remained silent, she panicked. She wanted to signal Jiang Wanjun to stop talking with her eyes, but she had no right to do so.

She desperately wanted to cover her best friend's mouth. If only Jiang Wanjun were more seriously ill, she would be so happy that she would faint.

Perhaps sensing the glint of swords flying at her from the two, Jiang Wanyun finally spoke up: "Alright, you can leave now. I'm tired, I need to rest!"

The two people who were kicked out of the house felt no sadness, only resentment.

Zhu Tingyue arrived with concern for her friend. If time could turn back, she would never have stepped through this door! Let Jiang Wanjun lie here; she wouldn't even glance at her.

Shen Yanqiu thought to himself: It's a good thing I came, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see through Zhu Tingyue's true nature!

"Aren't you going to explain?" Shen Yanqiu's cold voice came, even though she no longer had any grounds to stand on.

"Haha, it's all in the past." Zhu Tingyue said with a grin, "They're all in the past."

"Yes, that's all in the past, and so am I."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tingyue experienced for the first time what it meant to be drenched in sweat.

So this is what it feels like to deal with someone who's unreasonable and unforgiving. She hadn't experienced it before, but now she truly understood.

She didn't feel the need to explain herself. Even if the two hadn't broken up yet, Shen Yanqiu, given her status, couldn't question her.

But Shen Yanqiu didn't give her a chance and turned to leave.

Zhu Tingyue then became anxious and grabbed his hand, saying, "Don't go yet, let me explain."

"I won't listen." Shen Yanqiu shook off his hand.

"Don't go, I promise I'll tell you the truth and I won't hide anything, please listen to me!"

"I won't listen, I won't listen." At this moment, Shen Yanqiu acted like an unreasonable person.

Zhu Tingyue quickened her pace, ran in front of him, blocked his way, put her hands on her hips, and shook her head, saying, "I won't listen, I won't listen, this is the right way, what you're doing is wrong!"

She was actually teaching Shen Yanqiu!

Shen Yanqiu was caught off guard by her sudden teaching. It was really funny that she used her face to make such a gesture!

He couldn't help but smile, wondering why she was still paying attention to such details. Wasn't the main point that he was angry?

"I'm very angry right now, Zhu Tingyue!"

He pushed aside Zhu Tingyue's figure blocking his way and still left.

In a moment of panic, Zhu Tingyue grabbed his waist, which was also her own. It was so soft; she had never felt anything like it before. It turned out that holding her was quite comfortable!

"What are you doing? In broad daylight, this is indecent."

"I'm hugging myself, what's it to you? If you want to hug someone, hug yourself too," Zhu Tingyue said shamelessly.

"You..." Shen Yanqiu couldn't think of a word to retort to her.

I simply let her hug me. After all, she's right; it's her own body, so she can hug me however she wants!

"Have you had enough hugs?"

After a while, Shen Yanqiu asked her.

"So, have you calmed down?" Zhu Tingyue asked back.

Shen Yanqiu tried to break free from her embrace, but he forgot that he was now Zhu Tingyue, the weak and frail Zhu Tingyue. The person in front of him only needed to use a little force to hold him captive in her arms.

"Let me go!" Shen Yanqiu was weak and gave up struggling.

"Will you listen to my explanation?"

"I'll listen to everything, just let me go."

Hearing Shen Yanqiu say this, Zhu Tingyue finally let go of her hand.

Taking advantage of her agility, Shen Yanqiu jumped far away, maintaining a safe distance from Zhu Tingyue.

"Just stand there and say it."

Looking at the distance between the two, Zhu Tingyue sighed helplessly: "I didn't agree to the seniors and juniors who pursued me. As for Xu Qingjia, that's really all in the past. There's nothing between us, and there won't be in the future."

She tried to explain, but Shen Yanqiu wouldn't listen: "Who wants to hear about your love history? It has nothing to do with me! I'm leaving, don't stop me."

"Then why were you angry just now?" Zhu Tingyue pressed on.

"I'm not angry! Who said I'm angry!" Shen Yanqiu retorted, raising her voice, her attempt to cover up her anger was all too obvious.

"Tsk tsk tsk, alright, I must have misheard! I'm old and my hearing isn't good. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."

Zhu Tingyue coaxed him like a child. Sometimes he really was like a child, easily angered, stubborn, and easily appeased.

"Hmph!" Shen Yanqiu snorted, making a sound that was hard to decipher—whether it was disdain or something else entirely. He wasn't angry! He meant it! Nobody could pin anything on him!

Despite her cold expression, a hint of red crept up her earlobes. Upon seeing this, Zhu Tingyue first smiled, then began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Zhu Tingyue!"

Shen Yanqiu knew she was laughing at him, and he was both angry and ashamed. He called her name loudly.

"Hey, pfft, I'm here, hahaha!" Glancing at Shen Yanqiu's even colder face, she stood obediently, hands at her sides, head bowed in apology: "I'm sorry!"

"roll."

"okay!"

She agreed quickly, turned around and went out, then quickly came back.

"Shen Yanqiu, look who that person is."
