Zheng Yanyan sat on the toilet, staring at Zhou Yuwen’s profile picture, which was a young Leonardo DiCaprio. She had to admit, Leonardo was incredibly handso in his youth, especially when he smiled, exuding a warmth that was hard to describe.
As she sat there, she couldn’t help but wonder why Zhou Yuwen still hadn’t ssaged her. It had been twenty minutes since they last saw each other. He should have been back at the dorm by now, right? And after what had happened, it was clearly his fault. Why couldn’t he just reach out and apologize?
Thinking back to what had happened earlier made her feel a sudden wave of frustration...
It was like the feeling of a spoiled kitten desperately seeking attention from its owner. That was exactly how Zheng Yanyan felt at that mont.
This was the first ti she had ever felt this way, and she still had enough rationality left to think, It’s my first ti—how could I just give in so easily? Besides, she and Zhou Yuwen had only just started dating. If she really let him have his way, would he still treat her well afterward?
Was he like this with every girl?
This thought snapped her out of her daze, and she quickly pushed Zhou Yuwen away. But even though she managed to stop him, Zhou Yuwen’s skillful moves had left a lasting impression on her. Now, back in the dorm, even just thinking about it made her body react uncontrollably. She found herself wanting to be with Zhou Yuwen again, to be held by him all the ti.
This realization scared her.
Zheng Yanyan, you’re so shaless! You’ve only been dating for a day, and you’re already falling apart. He’s not even paying attention to you, and you’re still thinking about him. Aren’t you embarrassed?
But she really missed Zhou Yuwen.
She looked at his profile picture—Leonardo DiCaprio still smiling warmly at her. It felt like Zhou Yuwen was mocking her, as if saying, "I know you miss , baby. Co on, talk to ."
The more she stared at his picture, the more annoyed she felt.
What a jerk! Even his profile picture is that of a player!
Hmph! I’m not going to ssage you first. Let’s see how long you’ll wait before reaching out to !
As these thoughts ran through her mind, Zheng Yanyan felt a little upset. She had so many things she wanted to talk to Zhou Yuwen about—why he had acted that way when they had only been dating for a day, whether he had done the sa things with other girls, and how many relationships he had been in before.
But Zhou Yuwen didn’t reach out, and Zheng Yanyan didn’t want to swallow her pride. So, neither of them ssaged the other. She stayed in the bathroom for almost twenty minutes before finally coming out.
By this ti, Lu Lin had already co back in from the balcony and was sitting at her desk, playing on her phone. When she saw Zheng Yanyan co out, she said, "Your stuff is over there."
"Oh," Zheng Yanyan replied, suddenly rembering all the makeup and clothes she had bought earlier that day. She told herself not to think about Zhou Yuwen, then started packing away her purchases.
Actually, when Lu Lin brought all the bags back to the dorm, both Shen Yu and Su Qing were quite curious. Shen Yu even asked, "Did Zhou Yuwen buy all that for her?"
"No, she bought it herself," Lu Lin replied.
Hearing this, both Shen Yu and Su Qing seed to breathe a sigh of relief, which was strange.
Since returning to the dorm, Zheng Yanyan had been silent, quietly packing her things into her suitcase. It was clear to anyone who looked that she was in a bad mood.
Aside from Lu Lin, both Shen Yu and Su Qing were already in bed. Shen Yu couldn’t help her curiosity and asked, "Yanyan?"
Zheng Yanyan kept her head down, busy packing, and didn’t respond.
It wasn’t until Shen Yu called her a second ti that Zheng Yanyan finally looked up, "Huh?"
At that mont, Zheng Yanyan had deliberately placed her phone on the desk, trying not to look at it. But she still couldn’t help but think that Zhou Yuwen might have ssaged her, though she wouldn’t check it right away. She wanted to leave him hanging for a while. But her mind kept drifting back to the phone, so she didn’t notice when Shen Yu first called her.
"Are you okay?" Shen Yu asked, noticing that sothing seed off.
Zheng Yanyan didn’t understand the question.
"You seem like you’re in a bad mood," Shen Yu clarified.
It was only then that Zheng Yanyan realized her mood had been noticeable, so she quickly forced a smile and said it was nothing.
"Oh, I have to catch the high-speed train tomorrow, so I asked Zhou Yuwen to bring
back early. But he kept dawdling, and I haven’t even packed yet. It’s really frustrating!" she lied to cover up her real feelings.
"Oh," Shen Yu replied, slightly disappointed.
Su Qing, however, was smarter. The girls had privacy curtains around their beds, and Su Qing was reading a book with a small nightlight inside hers. She hadn’t paid much attention to Zheng Yanyan, but just by listening to her conversation with Shen Yu, she could tell sothing was off.
Su Qing pulled back her curtain slightly and said to Zheng Yanyan, "My train leaves at ten tomorrow. When is Zhou Yuwen picking us up?"
"Huh?" Zheng Yanyan was taken aback.
Su Qing reminded her, "Didn’t you say Zhou Yuwen would drive us to the station? Did you forget?"
Zheng Yanyan felt a bit panicked. She suddenly rembered she had ntioned this at lunchti, but now she was in a spat with Zhou Yuwen. If she had to ask him to pick them up, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
But if she didn’t ask and said Zhou Yuwen couldn’t make it, wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing in front of her roommates?
To make matters worse, Su Qing seed to be enjoying this, as if she was waiting to see her fail.
"Of course I didn’t forget. Since your train leaves at ten, we’ll just leave early. What ti is your train, Ah Yu?" Zheng Yanyan replied, trying to maintain her composure.
"This might be too much to ask. We can just take a taxi," Shen Yu said sincerely. She really didn’t want Zhou Yuwen to take her to the station since they weren’t particularly close.
"It’s no trouble at all. Even if it weren’t for you, I’d still have Zhou Yuwen drive ," Su Qing said matter-of-factly. Despite their complicated history, Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen had chatted quite a bit over the past month and had beco friends. In fact, she had asked him about his relationship with Zheng Yanyan the day before.
"I thought you said you wouldn’t date in college?" Su Qing had questioned him, catching Zhou Yuwen off guard.
Su Qing had been secretly angry, holding it in.
Zhou Yuwen had explained, "I couldn’t help it. I an, Yanyan kissed
in front of everyone. What was I supposed to do if I didn’t agree?"
It was a reasonable explanation. Su Qing thought back to how Zhou Yuwen had dated her for four years in their previous life without ever getting too close. She figured that even if he dated Zheng Yanyan now, it wouldn’t last long.
After all, they weren’t a good match. Zhou Yuwen was easygoing and adaptable, while Zheng Yanyan was a spoiled, headstrong girl from Beijing. She might be interested in dating Zhou Yuwen on a whim, but eventually, they would break up. It would most likely be Zheng Yanyan who dumped Zhou Yuwen.
Based on her personality, even if they were in a relationship, Zheng Yanyan would probably treat Zhou Yuwen like a toy, just as she did with Chang Hao. Zhou Yuwen might be easygoing, but deep down, he had a strong sense of pride.
They would definitely clash over ti.
And not just in the long run—they were already arguing now.
Su Qing had seen this coming.
She knew they weren’t compatible.
With this in mind, Su Qing deliberately stirred the pot, suggesting that she could ask Zhou Yuwen if Zheng Yanyan couldn’t.
"No need!" Zheng Yanyan, being a proud person, couldn’t stand such an insult. She snapped, "My boyfriend doesn’t need you telling him what to do! Ever heard of boundaries?"
She glared at Su Qing.
"Oh, sorry," Su Qing said with a smirk. "Zhou Yuwen is your boyfriend, but he’s also my friend. You’re not going to stop him from having friends, are you?"
"You!"
In that mont, Su Qing felt a strange sense of satisfaction. No wonder so girls enjoyed playing the role of a "green tea" girl—it really was fun.
In their previous life, Zheng Yanyan never had a romantic relationship with Zhou Yuwen, but since Su Qing was the only one in their dorm with a boyfriend, Zheng Yanyan would often tease her by getting close to Zhou Yuwen just to make Su Qing jealous.
Unexpectedly, the tables had turned in this new life. Su Qing found herself enjoying this new feeling. By making sly remarks and provoking Zheng Yanyan, she could push Yanyan to go cry to Zhou Yuwen. Then, Zhou Yuwen might say, "Don’t I even have the right to have friends?" The two of them would argue, and Su Qing would step in, securing her place. Perfect!
"Of course, you can be friends, but please know your limits, Su Qing!" Zheng Yanyan emphasized the last few words heavily as she continued packing her suitcase and closed it with a thud.
Didn’t fall for it? What’s going on?
Honestly, if she hadn’t just fought with Zhou Yuwen, Zheng Yanyan would have surely lashed out at Su Qing, accusing her of shalessly trying to seduce her boyfriend. But now, she had her own problems to deal with.
After finishing packing, Zheng Yanyan quickly reached for her phone, thinking that Zhou Yuwen must have sent her an apology by now. I’ve left him hanging for so long; he must be desperate to make up, she thought.
But when she picked up her phone, she saw a ssage—unfortunately, it was from her parents: "Sweetheart, what ti will you be ho tomorrow?"
She looked at Zhou Yuwen’s profile again—still no ssage. Leonardo DiCaprio’s smiling face seed to be mocking her, as if saying, "I’m not going to ssage you."
This made Zheng Yanyan furious.
The worst part was that Su Qing had no idea Zheng Yanyan was upset. Seeing that her earlier remarks hadn’t provoked Yanyan, Su Qing actually gained a bit of respect for her and casually asked Shen Yu, "Hey, what ti is your train tomorrow? I’ll let Zhou Yuwen know, and maybe we can all go out for breakfast together. I know a great place."
Shen Yu responded, "Sure, I’ll treat you all to breakfast tomorrow."
"No need, let Zhou Yuwen treat us—he’s got money," Su Qing said matter-of-factly.
"Can you just stop?" Zheng Yanyan, already in a bad mood, couldn’t take it anymore and blurted out, "Can you just shut up about Zhou Yuwen?"
The temperature in the dorm dropped as Zheng Yanyan glared at Su Qing. "If I don’t say sothing, do you really think Zhou Yuwen is your boyfriend?"
"I don’t care what kind of relationship you and Zhou Yuwen had before. Right now, Zhou Yuwen is my boyfriend, and if you keep crossing the line, you can forget about being friends!"
Being from the North, Zheng Yanyan didn’t hold back. After saying this, she kicked her suitcase shut and stord out of the dorm.
It was a bit intimidating.
Lu Lin watched silently, while Shen Yu was left in shock. "What’s wrong with her?"
"Who knows?" Su Qing replied nonchalantly. If you’ve stolen her man, why would you still want to be friends? Ridiculous.
Zheng Yanyan was furious. Su Qing’s words would have infuriated any girl.
And what on earth was Zhou Yuwen doing? Why hadn’t he reached out yet?
Unable to contain herself any longer, Zheng Yanyan decided not to bother with ssages and called Zhou Yuwen directly. She needed to confront him: What’s the deal? You think it’s fine to kiss and touch
and then just break up?
Zhou Yuwen, I’m not so pushover. If you think you can dump , you’ve got another thing coming!
But when she called, all she heard was, "The number you are calling is currently on another call. Please try again later."
"???"
Zheng Yanyan panicked and started sending him ssages on WeChat:
"What are you doing?"
"Why can’t I get through to you?"
"Zhou Yuwen, I’m giving you one minute to respond!"
At this point, tears began to well up in Zheng Yanyan’s eyes. What a jerk! Did he really just play with
and then ghost ?
Is he really just going to dump ?!
In that mont, the image of Zhou Yuwen as a total player solidified in Zheng Yanyan’s mind. She felt so wronged that tears were about to fall. After all, this was her first real relationship, and it turned out the guy was a complete scumbag.
"Zhou Yuwen, don’t think you can just dump
and get away with it. If you try to ghost , I swear I’ll make you famous on campus!"
