novel(I Come here to Break up with You) Drawing Water in a Sieve
| ← Ch.040 | Ch.042 → |
At noon, Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and their new friends went to have lunch together. Among their new friends, there was a girl named Wang Zhengjuan. She was good at playing basketball and had outshone Wang Xiang in the game just now. To their disappointment, Zhao Yuan refused to join them. He bought some food and went back to their dorm again.
"We'd better call Wenxi Baby Lin in the future." Wang Xiang twitched his mouth and said.
"Are you jealous?" Wang Zhengjuan asked while swishing her ponytail. The boys found her very charming and looked at her. She said, "Why do you guys keep looking at me? Don't you know that I'm not available now."
Upon hearing that, the boys all shifted their gazes toward something else. They all knew about the relationship between Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan.
"What... why do I have to be jealous?" Wang Xiang stuttered.
"Little Xiang'er, you know what. The biggest tragedy in one's life is that he or she dares not to do something that he or she really wants to do, such as not having the courage to love the person that he or she really loves. Sometimes, people even fail to notice that this is a tragedy. I love Zhou Nannan and I decide to love her without worrying about what others will think of us. If any of you has a disagreement with our relationship, I'll teach this guy a lesson in a basketball game. If he stills refuses to accept us, just feel free to challenge me. I'm a level-10 taekwondo black belt, " Wang Zhengjuan said plainly. The boys all gave her thumbs-up."
"Well, I'm not that tragical. I know what I want, and the person I love is one of your roommates. But still thank you for your advice, " Wang Xiang said with a smile.
Wang Zhengjuan gazed at Wang Xiang for a moment, and then looked at Zheng Kai, who looked confused. She smiled slightly and said excitedly, "Come, let's dive in."
When Zhao Yuan returned to the dorm, he was surprised to see that Lin Wenxi was sleeping again. He could not help but wonder, "Does he can somehow read my mind or something?" He never knew that a few minutes ago, Lin Wenxi had received a text message from Wang Xiang."Brother Yuan went to buy lunch for you."
Zhao Yuan put the lunch down and felt lost for a moment. After a moment of thought, he turned around and left. He went to the girls' dormitory building and asked Chen Wanxin to come out.
Chen Wanxin knew that Zhao Yuan still needed some time to accept her as his girlfriend. She was prepared to give him some more time.
She had discussed this matter with Mo Qian and asked for his advice. In the beginning, Mo Qian was reluctant to discuss it with Chen Wanxin, but as Chen Wanxin insisted, he said, "You did take a risk to confess to that boy in the public, but it's actually a clever move. I used to tell you a story. Do you still remember it? The Wang family wanted to give a project to the Li family, and the Liu family wanted to compete with the Li family. The Liu family sent their daughter to drink the son of the Wang family under the table and sleep with him for a night. Acctually, nothing happened between them during that night, but the Liu family made a fuss about it and managed to let the Wang family know about this matter. The son of the Wang family didn't like the girl from the Liu family, but the girl never complained about this. She often called him as a friend and would even go to fetch him when he got drunk. After some time, even the young man's girlfriend felt somewhat stressed by the girl. In the end, the son of the Wang family and the daughter of the Liu family became good friends, and the Liu family got the project. Miss Chen, do you understand?"
Chen Wanxin was a clever girl. She understood what Mo Qian meant immediately. She thought, "Now I just need to separate Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi and to take things slow with Zhao Yuan."
She had been angry when she had first heard that Zhao Yuan chased after her just to win a bet. In the meantime, she had somehow been determined to make Zhao Yuan her boyfriend. After that night, she often thought, "If there's really something between Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi, I can hardly win him over for the time being. I'd better keep the bet between Zhao Yuan and me a secret and give him some time to calm down. When he's relaxed and ready to accept me, I'll influence him day by day. As long as everyone knows that I'm his girlfriend, he'll still take me into consideration.
"I can tell that he's a very responsible guy although he looks reckless. He didn't tell me about the bet when I took the risk to confess to him in the public. I'm sure that he didn't do that to protect his reputation. He did that because he did not want to hurt me. If he didn't care about me at all, he would never do this. I guess that I still have a chance."
Despite that, Chen Wanxin was really surprised by this sudden and unexpected invitation from Zhao Yuan. She asked Zhang An'an to go down the dormitory building together with her.
What Zhao Yuan was going to say was totally beyond her expectations.
"Wanxin, I, I come here to break up with you, " Zhao Yuan said flatly.
Chen Wanxin tried her best to curl her lips into a slight smile and asked, "If I agree with you, what you'll do? And if I disagree, what you'll do?"
"I just want to unilaterally, unilaterally break up with you. I've thought about it for a whole night. I don't think that we'll be happy together, " Zhao Yuan said earnestly.
"Then who do you think will make me happy?" Chen Wanxin asked.
"I don't know, " Zhao Yuan said honestly."I think you deserve one of the best guys in this world, but I'm not one of them."
"Then who do you think will make you happy?" Chen Wanxin asked. At this moment, she felt perfectly calm and kept looking tentatively at Zhao Yuan with her bright big eyes.
"Well, I think we don't need to discuss this matter here. You're a great girl. I'm sorry, " Zhao Yuan said, ready to leave.
"Hey, you're being unreasonable now. If you want me to agree, you'll have to buy me breakfast every day for a whole month. After that month, we'll break up. What do you say?" asked Chen Wanxin.
Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan thought in relief, "This is what she wants. She's really nice to give me this chance to extricate myself from this awkward situation." He felt somewhat grateful for Chen Wanxin and nodded while saying, "Well, that's it."
After Zhao Yuan's departure, Chen Yuxin heaved a sigh of relief and asked Zhang An'an, "An'an, have you reached a conclusion?"
"What conclusion?" Zhang An'an, who had remained silent all this while, asked in surprise.
"Why do you think Zhao Yuan want to break up with me? Is it because of Zheng Kai or Lin Wenxi or because he just doesn't like me at all?" asked Chen Wanxin.
"I really don't know what he thinks, but I don't think that he dislikes you. He never hates to spend some time together with you. He has to meet with you every time when he delivers breakfast food to you. It's somewhat like a date. If he hates to meet you, he'll never grant your request, " said Zhang An'an.
"An'an, you just know how to comfort others. I know that apart from dancing and music, you're also good at psychology. I reached this conclusion a long gao. How can you not know this? I guess that you were just worried that you might mislead me by telling me what you thought. Am I right?" Chen Wanxin gently smoothed Zhang An'an's hair over her forehead and then added seriously, "You know what. I'm always nice to the ones who don't act against me."
Upon hearing that, Zhang An'an felt a shiver went up her spine. She blinked and said, "Sister Wanxin, you're right. I'm indeed interested in psychology, but psychology can't enable me to read someone else's mind. I dared not to tell you my opinion not only because I was worried that I would mislead you but also because I really could not read Zhao Yuan's mind."
"Alright, alright. I see. I overestimated you, " Chen Wanxin said and then put her arm around Zhang An'an's shoulders signaling friendship.
Zhang An'an clenched her fist slightly. Her hand started to sweat due to anxiety.
