"After high school graduation, it's been over two years now. Whether we knew each other or not didn't matter. That night, he kept calling another woman's na. I knew his heart didn't belong to . Yet, inexplicably, I didn't refuse him."
"So, what happened afterward? Did he not take responsibility for you? Or did he offer you any compensation?" i continued to ask.
"Actually, this wouldn't have happened if I didn't agree, so there's no need for responsibility or compensation, and anyway, I left the hotel early the next morning. Until now, he probably doesn't know what really happened that night."
"No, really?"
"Isn't this a bit far-fetched?"
"I'm not lying to you. So, i, I'm still living well now."
"Then why haven't you found another boyfriend? Aren't you scared because of this? Why didn't you tell that man about that night?"
"As I said, when it cos to boyfriends, I'll think about it after graduating from university and getting a job. If soone can accept this fact, we'll be together; if not, there's nothing I can do. Besides, there are so many single n in our country; isn't it possible to find one who genuinely loves you? As for why I didn't tell him..." Chen ngying fell silent again.
"ng Ying, just tell us, why?" Lin Biyu pressed on.
"There's really no reason. He doesn't love . Even if I told him, even if he's willing to take responsibility, life might not be happy. He would only be with out of guilt and a sense of duty. What's the point in forcing a relationship? It's better to let each other be free." Chen ngying spoke sincerely, feeling there was no need for pretense.
"So, you an you actually like him?" Lin Biyu continued to question.
"Hmm?" Chen ngying was caught again but decided that since she had co this far, admitting wouldn't hurt: "Yes."
Seeing Chen ngying nod, the two were a bit surprised. Who is the person she liked since high school?
"It seems you really like this person, given you'd do so much for him."
"It's not exactly sacrifice. Maybe I was hoping for it... who can clearly explain matters of the heart? i, after telling you all this, you should understand, it's no big deal. We can still live well, even if it hurts, even if it's painful, we must bravely move forward." At this point, Chen ngying didn't forget to comfort i.
"Ah, hearing you say this does make feel less sad, but I really can't face things as honestly as you do."
"As long as you've thought it through. Only your ex should be sad, after all, you just lost a man who didn't love you, but he lost a woman who loved him deeply. Isn't that his great loss?"
"Wow, that seems to make sense."
"Hey, ng Ying, who is that man?" Lin Biyu kept asking.
"Hmm? Don't ask, I won't say. If not for i, I would never have shared this." Chen ngying said softly.
"Co on, just satisfy our curiosity, won't you?"
"No way..."
"Are you hiding it because we might know this person too?" Lin Biyu suddenly realized.
"Ah, yeah, maybe. Otherwise, even if I ntioned a na, you wouldn't know who it is."
"Ah, even if I tell you, you don't know them, so stop guessing. i, as long as you co to terms with it, just let it go. Things will be better in the future."
"Yeah, if you can get through this, I believe I can too. Let that man go to hell."
"That's the right way to think! Okay, let's all go to sleep. Tomorrow we'll have fun as usual, forget about it all..."
"Okay..."
Here, Chen ngying had persuaded i, and she felt relieved.
anwhile, i and Lin Biyu had gotten what they wanted, waiting for tomorrow to reveal the recording. Those boys would surely be shocked.
The image of Chen ngying as the pure girl would be tarnished. Let's see if those boys would continue to hover around her. They raised her so high, only to find she's been with another man.
One should always be cautious... Chen ngying trusted the two, but who knew it was a trap.
The night passed quietly. The first light of dawn shone through the window.
As usual, Chen ngying got up early to freshen up. Life continued, and each day she needed to be in full spirit to embrace the day.
But this day wasn't as good for Chen ngying as she had imagined.
During breakfast, everything seed fine. But later, things began to feel off.
The way classmates looked at her changed, and they seed to be whispering behind her back unnecessarily.
An ominous feeling crept over her, this unease lingering in Chen ngying's heart.
As for our classmate Xiaofan, he slept until dawn and continued to doze... He's like that, if there's nothing to do, he'll completely relax and rest.
Breakfast, delivered by Chen ngying to his room, didn't disturb him, since there were no activities planned, everyone freely wandered around, and they heard there would be available karaoke rooms tonight.
So, no one planned to leave early; they stayed another day at this hot spring resort.
When Xiaofan finally woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he saw the breakfast Chen ngying had prepared for him. Though it had long gone cold, Xiaofan finished it nonetheless, given there was still quite so ti before dinner.
"Hey, Ye Xiaofan, you're up?"
"Yeah. Good morning."
"Good morning? It's afternoon already."
"Oh. Any plans later?"
"Just playing around. Ming has booked the karaoke room, so we'll go sing together tonight."
"Oh, what about the class leader?"
"Her? God knows where she's hiding now."
"Hiding? Why?"
"Hmm? You don't know?"
"What happened?" Xiaofan's expression suddenly turned tense.
"A recording was just released in the group files, sothing Chen ngying personally said. Wow, who would've thought... the well-mannered class leader has such a bold side."
Recording? What recording? What boldness? What could force the class leader to hide? After saying goodbye to Li Youjin, Xiaofan quickly dialed Chen ngying's number. It connected, but then was hung up. What exactly happened?
