You didn’t accept my confession, why are you crying because I changed my mind? Chapter 9 - Invisible Slap in the Face is the Most Deadly

Chapter 9: Invisible Slap in the Face is the Most Deadly

Hearing Jiang Zhou’s words, the group chat instantly erupted with sarcastic laughter.

They all thought Jiang Zhou was disgusting.

Not only disgusting, but also terribly bad at pretending to be cool.

Why?

Because just a few days ago, he had confessed to the class goddess like his life depended on it, saying he couldn’t live without Chu Yuwei.

And after getting rejected, he had cried his eyes out.

The ridiculous part? Now he completely denied it.

Denying it would be one thing, but now he was even putting on an act like it was her who was chasing him.

Saying the class goddess insisted on coming to his house.

Saying she was annoying and stuff.

Seriously?

Zheng Yu: “@Jiang Zhou, you got rejected so now you’re slandering her? Can you act like a man for once?”

Zheng Yu: “What kind of person would even like soone like you? They’d have to be out of their mind!”

Zheng Yu: “I’m warning you, if you insult Yuwei again, I’ll make you regret it!”

The group chat fell dead silent after that.

Everyone was lurking, waiting for the drama to unfold.

Because everyone knew that Zheng Yu liked Chu Yuwei for three years.

He had even privately ssaged a bunch of classmates earlier, telling them he was planning to confess to her during the graduation trip.

He handed out tons of red packets, asking everyone to help him out.

And now Jiang Zhou was spreading lies, claiming Chu Yuwei was at his house?

Of course Zheng Yu couldn’t stand that.

But just when everyone thought the drama was about to pop off, Jiang Zhou didn’t respond.

“Damn, did Jiang Zhou chicken out?”

“Well, Brother Yu is a black belt in Taekwondo. I’d back off too if I were him!”

“Heh, not even brave enough to reply? That’s so low.”

“This guy had the nerve to confess to the class goddess? I can’t.”

“Coward. Just leave the group already, you’re annoying to look at!”

“Being in the sa class as this guy makes feel like my youth was tainted!”

The group chat flooded with comnts, but Jiang Zhou stayed silent.

This gave Zheng Yu an imnse sense of satisfaction.

Because what’s better for a man than putting soone in their place in front of the girl he likes?

Especially when the other guy completely backs down and doesn’t say a word.

Zheng Yu smiled smugly.

But just as he was basking in that glow, Chu Yuwei suddenly appeared in the group chat.

She sent a simple ssage: “……”

Six dots.

The mont that popped up, the group went quiet again.

Everyone figured she was just speechless at Jiang Zhou’s behavior.

Because everyone knew that Chu Yuwei hated being the subject of rumors.

Anyone who spread them would instantly lose her favor.

That’s why, even though she had many admirers, she had stayed scandal-free all throughout high school.

Zheng Yu: “Yuwei, Jiang Zhou was talking nonsense earlier. I already told him off for you.”

Zheng Yu: “He’s so scared now he won’t even reply. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Chu Yuwei: “Uh… Jiang Zhou went to the bathroom. His phone’s on the couch, so he didn’t see.”

Chu Yuwei: “And also, I really don’t plan on going on the graduation trip. Sorry.”

The mont she said that, the group chat was dead silent.

Fifty-plus phone screens.

Reflecting fifty-plus stunned faces.

Jiang Zhou was in the bathroom, and his phone was on the couch.

Which ant Chu Yuwei specifically ca out to explain for him.

In other words, Jiang Zhou wasn’t scared, he just didn’t see the ssages.

But the most shocking thing?

Chu Yuwei was really at Jiang Zhou’s house.

Otherwise, how would she know where his phone was?

And also… Jiang Zhou was telling the truth about her not going on the trip!

Zheng Yu: “Yuwei, are you… joking?”

Zheng Yu: “Didn’t you say you’d go with us? I even prepared a surprise for you!”

But after that, Chu Yuwei went quiet again.

Seeing this, people in the group started to piece things together.

Chu Yuwei hadn’t joined the chat to hang out.

She had co just to speak up for Jiang Zhou.

But… what is going on?

Hadn’t she rejected him?

Why on earth is she at his house?

anwhile, the toilet flushed.

Jiang Zhou walked back into the living room and picked up his phone.

Huh?

Why’s the group so active?

Oh, right. It’s about Chu Yuwei again.

He scrolled a bit and noticed Chu Yuwei’s ssage.

Interesting.

This girl actually stood up for ?

Well, that was unnecessary.

It’s not like we’d see each other after graduation anyway.

Let people say whatever.

He turned to look at Chu Yuwei, who was glaring at him. “Jiang Zhou, what’s your problem?”

Jiang Zhou blinked. “What’d I do?”

Chu Yuwei glanced around. None of the parents were paying attention.

She raised her phone toward him.

“What did you an by, ‘Even if I was naked, you wouldn’t be interested’?”

Her face flushed as she spoke.

Jiang Zhou shrugged. “Nothing. Just ant I like ‘em big.”

“Big what?”

“You know I’m not interested in you. Why ask so many questions?”

Chu Yuwei looked hurt. “If you’re not interested in , then why did you confess?”

“Didn’t I say? I confessed to a bunch of girls. If one believed , I’d score a girlfriend. Why not?”

“You’re casting a wide net?! That’s disgusting. You jerk!”

Jiang Zhou couldn’t be bothered to argue.

If he wasn’t a jerk, so what. Should he be a simp?

Just look at his eighteen-year-old self. He was such a simp.

And what did it get him? Nothing.

Now that he had traveled back in ti, he was destined to be a heartbreaker.

“Uncle Chu, Mom, Dad, you guys keep chatting. I’m gonna lie down in my room.” Jiang Zhou got up and left the group behind, heading to his room.

After walking around all day, he was exhausted.

If it weren’t for Chu Xiong and Chu Yuwei being there, he’d have gone straight to sleep the mont he got ho.

Now that he’d been polite for a bit, he figured that was enough.

If not now, when?

As he walked off, Chu Yuwei’s eyes dimd.

She started to think that maybe Jiang Zhou wasn’t pretending.

Maybe… he really had lost interest in her.

Or maybe… he was never interested at all.
