At the beginning, Jian Chi hesitated for a long time when he agreed to date Ji Huaisi, not only because Ji Huaisiâs gender and identity were all beyond his expectations, but the most important point was that Jian Chi canât tell whether he liked Ji Huaisi more or was moved more.
When Jian Chi and Zhang Yang talked about this problem, he got Zhang Yangâs disbelieving eyes, and before he could speak, they started talking incessantly: âNo, Jian Chi, you are actually struggling with this? To be honest, if someone chased after me so hard, someone as good as the vice president, no matter if itâs a man or a woman, Iâll agree.â
Jian Chi: ââŚâ Yes, how could he ask Zhang Yang about his relationship?
So that night on the boat, Ji Huaisi had always been a master at stirring his emotions. With such a good atmosphere, a gentle âlikeâ falling in his ears, and sensibility occupying the high ground of reason, Jian Chi couldnât remember what Ji Huaisi said specifically, but one thought became more and more clear-why not give it a try instead of escaping?
Although it had circled his mouth countless times, the moment he said it, it was still so impulsive that his whole heart was beating non-stop.
Originally, Jian Chi wasnât sure, but at the moment when the âbreak upâ exited his mouth, he was sure â he liked Ji Huaisi besides being moved. Thatâs why he couldnât bear to see Ji Huaisiâs stagnant and gradually broken expression, so there was a needle-like tingling in his heart, making it hard to breathe.
Reason told Jian Chi that liking canât solve the problem between them. Ji Huaisi wanted his obedience and unreserved love, and him giving back was always a little less enthusiastic.
In this relationship, Ji Huaisi had been unconditionally tolerant, accepting, and filling the gap between them with the wrong materials. This kind of thing will always break down one day, and at that time, it may be more difficult to end.
Jian Chi looked at the screen without any message prompts and buried himself in the pillow.
After saying that, he couldnât bear to see Ji Huaisiâs reaction and turned to leave. Ji Huaisi didnât chase after, it was so quiet that he lost all sound. He walked a long way on the open road, his feet were sore from the leather shoes. He had to stop by the street light, two lights flashed behind him, and when he turned his head, a sports car rolled down the window, revealing Shao Hangâs face. Dressed in the suit from the banquet, facing the embarrassed Jian Chi, he didnât ask a single question.
âGet in the car, Iâll see you off.â
Jian Chi was in a turmoil all the way, and lost his direction and physical strength in the cold wind. At this moment, he didnât want to think about why Shao Hang appeared here, and he didnât want to think about any twists and turns. He opened the door in front of him.
On the way back, Shao Hang seemed to see Jian Chiâs depressed mood and kept silent all the way. It was not until he returned to school that Jian Chi woke up like a dream before getting off the car, âI will return the clothes to you after I wash them.â
âThank you for sending me back.â
Who would have expected Shao Hang to shake his head, the warm headlights cast half a shadow on his facial features, and his lips moved slightly: âDid you quarrel with Ji Huaisi?â
Jian Chi wanted to open the door. He tried it twice, but it didnât move.
Just as he was about to turn his head to question him, Shao Hangâs face suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, his arms propped up against the car door and trapped him in a narrow corner of the seat. He could almost count every eyelash supporting his eyes, as well as the dark and deep meaning in his eyes. .
âYou two broke up, right?â
âWhat does it have to do with you?â
âI saw it all,â Shao Hang pulled the corner of his lips, âAfter you left, the guyâs expression was very scary, do you need a bodyguard to protect your personal safety after the breakup? Itâs free, they can be on call, accommodation provided.â
Jian Chiâs eyebrows twitched, Shao Hang was still in the mood to joke at this time, but the stuffiness in his chest miraculously dissipated a bit.â No, open the door, Iâm leaving.â
This time, Shao Hang didnât entangle him. Perhaps seeing that Jian Chiâs mood and state was extremely bad, he opened the lock, but took Jian Chiâs hand a second before the soles of his feet touched the ground, and restrained his smirk. The deep eyes made Jian Chiâs eyes scalded.
âI mean it seriously.â
Jian Chi didnât answer.
He was really tired now. After returning to the dormitory, he simply took a shower and buried his body in his bed. He took out his mobile phone. There was no news, and when he opened HS, it was deserted. Thatâs right, everyone was still at the banquet. Even if you hear the shocking gossip, you canât post it on the Internet immediately. Those who didnât attend should have rested early.
Everyone was excited by what happened at the dinner party, but Jian Chi couldnât sleep all night thinking about Ji Huaisi.
This incident about the Fu family made headlines in the early hours of the morning. Even people who seldom pay attention to business news had a hard time not noticing such a big movement. The popularity of the news continued to rise in just one morning, and then fell without warning. He could only see a few posts in the afternoon. Despite this, the discussion of the incident in Saintston did not diminish in the slightest.
The Fu family can control public opinion, but they canât control everyoneâs mouth. This farce will eventually reach everyoneâs ears, tacitly.
In addition, Wen Chuan went to class as usual on the second day, which also became a big headline in the school. There were even high school students who couldnât help but brush past Wen Chuan inadvertently, just to take a close look at this daring â illegitimate child. Wen Chuan, who was the center of the storm, turned a deaf ear to this, as if he didnât notice the surrounding discussions at all. He went to class normally, took notes, and then brought his computer to the library for self-study.
Since being with Ji Huaisi, Jian Chi rarely participated in the study group formed with Zhang Yang and Wen Chuan. Except for sleeping in class, he spent almost all of his time with Ji Huaisi, but the day after he proposed to break up, Jian Chi chose to go to the library with Zhang Yang.
In this regard, Zhang Yang was extremely surprised: âThe vice president isnât coming over?â
Seeing Jian Chiâs embarrassed expression, Zhang Yang instantly understood and patted him on the shoulder, âHave a quarrel? I understand, I understand, I have been thinking about when you will have the first fight for the past few months. The vice president doesnât seem to have any temper, and you always look like you donât hear whatâs going on outside the window, so itâs quite rare to be able to quarrel.â
ââŚâ Jian Chi hesitated.
The moment Wen Chuan in the study room saw Jian Chi, there were slight waves in his eyes. After pressing down all of them, he didnât make a sound. Jian Chi pretended that he didnât see anything, and started to do the unfinished assessment at hand, occasionally answering Zhang Yangâs questions. Time flew, Zhang Yang packed up his things and prepared to report to the tennis club, but Jian Chi and Wen Chuan left behind, walked towards the swimming pool.
âLater,â Wen Chuan paused, as if organizing words to minimize harm, âwhat did he say?â
Jian Chi looked at the road and gravel under his feet, âI broke up with him.â
âHe agreed?â Wen Chuan said after the silence, his voice was slightly hoarse, making it difficult to capture his complete turbulent emotions.
âJi Huaisi thought I was speaking out of anger, but I donât think he doesnât know,â Jian Chi said, âEven if he doesnât agree, it canât go back to the past after saying it, right?â
Wen Chuan whispered âIâm sorry.â
âYou donât need to say sorry.â
Jian Chi knew that even though Shao Hang, Wen Chuan, and Shen Shutingâs words were absolutely inflammatory, the final decision had always been in his hands. If he chooses Ji Huaisi unswervingly, he will not be easily shaken even if he was opposed by everyone. After all, the external factors were only external, and the one who really made this decision was himself.
The moment the wavering appeared, the ending was already doomed in secret. Jian Chi was just making sure of his heart over and over again, until he made it clear last night. Ji Huaisiâs refusal to talk about all the problems finally promoted the cruelty of Jian Chiâs remarks.
Wen Chuan didnât ask any further, he understood what it meant to Jian Chi, and looked back at last nightâs pictures over and over again, thinking back to Ji Huaisi.
He didnât want to see the loss that Jian Chi showed after recalling it, he was selfish, but he didnât want Jian Chi to discover this shameful thought.
After coming out of the locker room, he routinely warmed up before going into the water. Teacher Gao supervised with a whistle, and occasionally scolded a few students who looked back at Wen Chuan from time to time. Jian Chi had always had a good impression of Teacher Gao, and now he was more relieved and grateful. Under the interference of Teacher Gao, the class returned to normal after a brief commotion. Before launching into the water, Teacher Gao announced a message.
âToday we will have a new student in class, remember to get along well, swim three groups of 400 meters after entering the water.â
After the previous words came out, everyone automatically ignored the second half of Teacher Gaoâs sentence. Saintston had strict rules. Class change is stipulated once a year, and even the date is strict. What kind of person can ignore the rules and add classes in the middle?
When they saw the people coming out of the locker room, everyone had no doubts. Except for a loud âd*mnâ to express shock.
Jian Chi was also stunned.
He looked straight at Shao Hang, who was topless and wearing swimming trunks, and walked in front of him. He raised his head and just squeezed out a word: âYouâŚâ Shao Hangâs back was slightly bent close to his ear, and he smiled leisurely and magnetically.
âPersonal bodyguard, personal protection, are you satisfied with this kind of service?â
