Heartthrob, Your Ima Chapter 81: Bro, Why Did Your Girlfriend Kiss Someone Else&#

"What?"

When the two guys heard this, they looked at Chang Hao in disbelief. They studied him carefully—he wasn't ugly and seed pretty decent, but they couldn't imagine that he was actually in a relationship with the girl who had just perford on stage. It seed a bit too ordinary, right?

"Yeah, what's the problem? We're both from Beijing. Hey, want a cigarette?" Chang Hao asked enthusiastically, making it hard for the two guys to refuse. They hesitated montarily before finally accepting the cigarette, and the three started chatting.

Chang Hao was so friendly because he wanted to figure out what had happened. Soone had asked Zheng Yanyan for her contact information, and she had said she had a boyfriend? How exactly did she put it?

There was nothing between Chang Hao and Zheng Yanyan yet, not even a hint. Who could have guessed that Yanyan would be so proactive? Could it be that she already saw him as her boyfriend? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Chang Hao felt. If he had known, he wouldn't have gone to the infirmary. If he had gone up to give her flowers, maybe Zheng Yanyan would have introduced him as her boyfriend.

While Chang Hao was happily chatting with the two guys behind the field, Zheng Yanyan and Zhou Yuwen were having a pleasant conversation up front. They were sharing a pair of earphones, listening to music, and watching so short videos.

As they watched, Zheng Yanyan complained to Zhou Yuwen that she was running out of mobile data and asked him to give her more.

Zhou Yuwen responded, "Is the store run by my family? Do I just give data away?"

Zheng Yanyan giggled. "Co on, who doesn't know you're the campus distributor? I'm practically your girlfriend now—what's the harm in giving

a little extra data?"

"Did I agree to that?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

"Well, did you refuse?" Zheng Yanyan pouted.

Zhou Yuwen smiled. "You're pretty clever."

"Of course, we're both clever," Zheng Yanyan said smugly. She felt comfortable chatting with Zhou Yuwen. When tired, she moved her chair closer to his and leaned against him, playing on her phone.

She was still wearing the pleated skirt from her dance earlier. As she leaned closer to Zhou Yuwen, her slender, beautiful legs were pressed together, so pale they seed to glow in the dim light of the field. Although Zhou Yuwen tried his best to maintain his composure, having such a pair of legs right next to him was enough to test any guy's willpower—especially since Zheng Yanyan, whether intentionally or not, kept shifting her legs closer to his.

It wasn't easy to maintain his image—he couldn't just grab her, right? That would be too low.

While Zheng Yanyan was leaning against Zhou Yuwen, playing on her phone, Su Qing, acting as a temporary host on stage, ca down and noticed them. Her expression turned sowhat subtle.

"Ahem," Zhou Yuwen cleared his throat to get Zheng Yanyan's attention.

"What's up?" Zheng Yanyan looked up and saw Su Qing staring at her. Su Qing glanced at her, then sat down on Zhou Yuwen's other side and asked, "Are you singing with Shen Yu later?"

"Yeah," Zhou Yuwen replied.

"You're singing with Shen Yu? How co I didn't know about this?" Zheng Yanyan asked in surprise.

"You didn't ask," Zhou Yuwen replied.

"Do I have to ask?" Zheng Yanyan was a bit upset, feeling that Zhou Yuwen should have told her these things.

Su Qing, on the other hand, remained calm. They had been at school for a month now. When she first arrived, Su Qing thought everything would happen as in her previous life—that things would naturally fall into place. But as the story began to unfold, she realized that the world she was experiencing now was completely different from the one she had known.

In her previous life, during military training, she and Zhou Yuwen had started to develop feelings for each other. They would take walks around the campus after training, and though life had its ups and downs, it eventually settled into peace.

But in this world, everything was different. Not only did Zhou Yuwen inexplicably get involved with people outside the school, but Zheng Yanyan and Shen Yu were now competing with her for his attention—things that Su Qing simply couldn't understand.

Moreover, Su Qing had a strong grasp of her major's coursework. After all, she had beco a sowhat famous designer in her previous life. She hoped to make extra money by leveraging her skills, so she drew a few design drafts and submitted them to a big company.

These designs incorporated advanced concepts one to two years ahead of their ti. Su Qing had clearly labeled the designs, expecting them to fetch at least five or ten thousand yuan. However, their attitude imdiately cooled when the company contacted her and found out she was just a first-year university student. They even told her that her designs had issues and weren't practical, offering only two hundred yuan to buy them to encourage her to keep creating.

That nearly made Su Qing explode angrily, and she coldly replied that she wouldn't sell them. She tried submitting her work to a few other companies, but the big ones wouldn't even look at her designs, while the small ones didn't have any use for them. In short, without so status or recognition, even her best designs were nothing more than scrap paper—unless she had so extraordinary luck.

Art, design, and other seemingly lucrative professions ultimately served a very small audience. Without finding the right clients, even the best designs were just illusions.

Fortunately, Su Qing had grown a lot over the past month. She realized she didn't have many advantages, so the best option for now was to finish her first year of college, earn a scholarship, and then study abroad. She had missed many opportunities in her previous life because she hadn't studied abroad. If she could go this ti, she believed that she would be much more successful by the ti she was 29.

As for Zhou Yuwen...

Watching Zhou Yuwen being teased by Zheng Yanyan, Su Qing naturally hoped they could rekindle their past relationship. But if that didn't happen right away, it was okay. The saying goes, "If you bloom, the butterflies will co."

Su Qing believed that as long as she beca excellent enough, Zhou Yuwen would eventually return to her.

anwhile, Zheng Yanyan asked Zhou Yuwen what song he and Shen Yu would sing.

Zhou Yuwen kept it a secret and said, "You'll find out soon."

Zheng Yanyan pouted. "You're so stingy."

"That Shen Yu is sneaky too," Zheng Yanyan continued, "In the dorm, we all agreed to pursue you and see who you like. But she said she'd give up and just compete with Su Qing. Now look at her—she's secretly arranged to sing with you! If I had known, I would've done the sa."

Zhou Yuwen was speechless. "Is that all you girls talk about in the dorm?"

As he said this, he glanced at Su Qing, who blushed and quickly said, "I never said I was giving up on you."

"Really?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

Su Qing avoided his gaze.

Zheng Yanyan, on the other hand, was delighted. "Great! If both of you give up, that ans Zhou Yuwen is all mine."

Just then, Zhou Yuwen's phone rang. It was Shen Yu calling.

"Zhou Yuwen, we're about to go on stage," Shen Yu said.

"Okay, I'll be right there," Zhou Yuwen replied, standing up.

After Zhou Yuwen left, Zheng Yanyan sat beside Su Qing and asked her what song Zhou Yuwen and Shen Yu would be singing.

"I don't know," Su Qing replied.

"You don't know? How could you not know? Aren't you the host?"

"It's not a formal performance, and Shen Yu wouldn't tell . How could I know?" Su Qing said.

Zheng Yanyan pouted and huffed, then glanced at the stage. At that mont, two guys were performing a cody sketch. She said, "That Shen Yu is really sneaky. She pretends to give up, but she's more proactive than anyone else. Su Qing, we have to be careful."

Su Qing shot Zheng Yanyan a disdainful look. "If you need to be careful, then you be careful. Don't drag

into this. I'll just give up."

"Hmph! You can't fool

now. You all say you're giving up, but you're just planning secret relationships with Zhou Yuwen, right?" Zheng Yanyan said, acting as if she had seen through everything.

"You're talking about yourself, aren't you?" Su Qing said, exasperated.

When Shen Yu first said she liked Zhou Yuwen, Su Qing was quite shocked. But she wasn't worried about Zheng Yanyan. After all, in her previous life, Chang Hao had chased Zheng Yanyan for four years, and Zheng Yanyan had many admirers.

But Zheng Yanyan never accepted them because her standards were too high. Even when Zhou Yuwen was with Su Qing in their previous life, he had shown little interest in Zheng Yanyan, often criticizing her for not treating Chang Hao well.

So, Su Qing wasn't worried about Zheng Yanyan at all. To her, Zheng Yanyan's talk of pursuing Zhou Yuwen seed more like a joke—sothing she would soon lose interest in.

"If you really like Zhou Yuwen, you should talk to Chang Hao and make things clear. Otherwise, it's just going to cause problems between them as roommates," Su Qing advised.

"Yeah, I've been thinking about that. You know, Su Qing, I really do like Zhou Yuwen, but it feels like he's not interested in

at all. I'm afraid…" Zheng Yanyan trailed off.

"What are you afraid of?" Su Qing asked.

"I'm afraid that if everyone finds out I like Zhou Yuwen and he rejects , I'll lose face," Zheng Yanyan admitted.

Su Qing couldn't help but laugh. "And since when do you care about saving face?"

"Of course, I care about saving face," Zheng Yanyan retorted.

"Real love ans not caring about face," Su Qing pointed out.

"Oh, give

a break!"

Su Qing knew Zheng Yanyan too well. She had a bit of a diva complex—she was used to being pursued by many guys and wanted to pick the best. As a result, even after Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen divorced in their previous life, Zheng Yanyan was still single in Beijing.

Out of consideration for their four years as classmates, Su Qing couldn't help but give her a piece of advice. "I suggest you stop worrying so much about your pride. Otherwise, you'll end up alone even after Zhou Yuwen and I are married."

"Hah!" Zheng Yanyan burst out laughing. "Wow, Su Qing, I never realized you were so thick-skinned!"

She even reached over to pinch Su Qing's cheek, making Su Qing slightly angry. "What are you doing?!"

As they were joking around, the cody sketch on stage finally ended, and the audience applauded.

At this point, quite a few performances had taken place since Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin's dance, and the excitent surrounding them had died down. With a few lackluster acts following, the atmosphere of the military training showcase had beco a bit dull.

"Next up, Zhou Yuwen and Shen Yu?"

"What song are they going to sing?"

Hearing that Zhou Yuwen and Shen Yu were going on stage, both Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing couldn't help but feel curious.

The host stepped up to announce the act: "Now, please enjoy a duet by two freshn from the class of 2013."

"Because of Love!"

"Oh!?"

"Wow!"

College students love to stir things up. On the last day of military training, having a boy and a girl sing "Because of Love" together was a public declaration of their relationship. The couple must be confident to publicly show their affection like this. If they ssed up or didn't have enough skill, they'd be laughed at for the next four years.

Their faces froze as soon as Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing heard the song title. It was as if a fly had flown into their mouths—unpleasant. They had expected Shen Yu to make a move but hadn't anticipated such a bold and decisive one!

Before the audience's cheers could die down, and before Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing could fully process what was happening, the music started playing through the loudspeakers.

The intro to "Because of Love" was soft and beautiful, slowly drawing in the listeners with its tender lody. The stage was shrouded in darkness, and then a female voice rang out:

I'll give you an old CD, listen to our love ??

Shen Yu's voice had a slight huskiness to it. The song wasn't particularly difficult, and Shen Yu's performance wasn't stunning, but given the context of a military training showcase, it was certainly interesting.

When the spotlight finally illuminated the stage, revealing Shen Yu, the audience shouted, "Wow!"

No wonder Shen Yu had left early—she had gone to put on makeup.

Her long hair was down, and she was dressed in a simple white sweatshirt paired with a pleated skirt. Unlike Zheng Yanyan's outfit, Shen Yu looked more reserved and sweet, fitting her image as the "good girl." She stood in the center of the stage, holding the microphone with one hand while nervously clutching the hem of her sweatshirt with the other. Her cheeks were lightly flushed, and her eyes sparkled under the stage lights.

Shen Yu was already pretty, but she looked even more beautiful with her makeup. Her voice was soft, sowhat reminiscent of a contemporary singer nad Fu Yu.

Sotis I suddenly forget, that I'm still in love with you... ??

After the first verse, which belonged to the female vocalist, there was a brief instruntal interlude. Shen Yu lowered her microphone and gazed into the darkness.

Then, a male voice joined in:

I can't sing those songs anymore ??

The ones that made us blush and avoid each other ??

Even though I often forget ??

Another spotlight illuminated Zhou Yuwen, revealing his figure. Zhou Yuwen hadn't dressed up for the occasion—he wore his regular military training pants and a gray shirt. But he looked good in anything, thanks to his strong physique.

When Zhou Yuwen started singing, the audience imdiately noticed how good his voice was—it was a bit like a baritone, smooth and deep.

I'm still in love with you... ??

From the start, it was clear that Zhou Yuwen knew what he was doing. When he stepped into the light, Shen Yu looked at him with eyes full of admiration, as if he was the only person in the world.

As Zhou Yuwen walked toward her, Shen Yu instinctively reached out her hand, wanting to hold his.

Zhou Yuwen didn't refuse. The two naturally held hands as they continued singing together:

Because of love ??

There is no sadness ??

Everything looks so beautiful ?? (Shen Yu)

Because of love ?? (Shen Yu)

We grow simply ?? (Zhou Yuwen)

And we're always ready to go crazy for each other ?? (Both)

By this point, the chemistry between them was undeniable. On stage, they looked like a real couple, completely in sync. The audience had no doubts—these two were definitely in a relationship! They were so in tune with each other, and their gazes were practically sparking with affection.

"Their eyes are like magnets!"

"Ah, I'm so jealous of this kind of love!"

The song may not have been as explosive as an original hit. Still, it perfectly captured the romantic fantasies of the college students watching—dreams of what their university romances might be like.

Because of love, how could there be sorrow? ??

At this point, Shen Yu was incredibly nervous. On the outside, she maintained a calm and loving expression, locking eyes with Zhou Yuwen. But in reality, she was squeezing his hand so hard that she was leaving marks on his skin.

Zhou Yuwen, trying to stay composed, gently released her hand and continued singing.

We can't sing those songs anymore ??

Listen, that's our love... ??

Zhou Yuwen naturally cupped Shen Yu's face in his hands as they sang.

This smooth move drew gasps from the audience and turned Shen Yu's cheeks a deep shade of red.

As the audience cheered, Zheng Yanyan stood by, grinding her teeth in jealousy.

Yes, she was jealous.

A simple duet didn't bother her, but she hadn't expected Shen Yu to sing Because of Love!

How could Shen Yu play so dirty, launching an all-out attack like this? Zheng Yanyan stood there in silence, glaring at the stage where Shen Yu looked so happy.

Fine, Shen Yu wanted to play this ga? Then, Zheng Yanyan would play along.

The song ca to an end.

The final note rose, asking, Because of love, in that place... ??

Are there still people wandering around?... ??

In the crowd... ??

When the song ended, the audience erupted into applause. Zheng Yanyan, staring at the stage, muttered to Su Qing, "You can tolerate this? Didn't you say you like Zhou Yuwen? How is this any different from Shen Yu dancing on our heads? If you keep quiet, everyone will think Zhou Yuwen is her boyfriend!"

Zheng Yanyan was right. Many people in the audience were saying how perfect they looked together.

Especially after the song, as they stood together on stage, Shen Yu looked so petite and delicate next to Zhou Yuwen, who wasn't short. The two stood side by side, thanking the audience, and many couldn't help but think, "Wow, they really are a couple!"

"What do you want to do about it?" Su Qing asked. She had always been more concerned about Shen Yu than Zheng Yanyan. Shen Yu never gave up on what she wanted, and from the mont Su Qing heard about Shen Yu's duet with Zhou Yuwen, she should have expected this. But she hadn't imagined Shen Yu would go this far.

"I bet it's thanks to you," Su Qing snorted.

"How is this my fault?" Zheng Yanyan was confused.

Su Qing said, "If you hadn't pushed her so hard, she wouldn't have done this."

Su Qing was right—Zheng Yanyan had pushed too hard. Instead of liking Zhou Yuwen, she insisted on making it a competition.

And when did Shen Yu ever lose a competition?

She pulled a sneaky move, and now what?

"How is this my fault?" Zheng Yanyan puffed her cheeks in frustration.

Su Qing sighed, not wanting to argue anymore. She stood up, saying, "I'm going back to the dorm—it's getting boring."

Zheng Yanyan, already upset, beca even more frustrated by Su Qing's words. Was she just going to let Shen Yu win?

After Su Qing got up, the flowers gifted to Zheng Yanyan and placed behind Su Qing's chair were now visible.

As she looked at the bouquet, an idea suddenly struck Zheng Yanyan.

"You're giving up? Well, I haven't lost yet!" Zheng Yanyan suddenly stood up and shouted to Su Qing.

Su Qing frowned, not understanding what she ant.

But without another word, Zheng Yanyan grabbed the flowers and marched toward the stage.

anwhile, Chang Hao was still in the back, chatting with the two guys he had just t. He hadn't expected to hit it off so well, and he originally wanted to brag about how Zheng Yanyan was his girlfriend.

The other guys had been curious and asked, "Hey, bro, what's the na of the other girl?"

"Oh, her? That's Lu Lin!"

"Lu Lin? That's a nice na. Does she have a boyfriend?"

Chang Hao glanced at Li Qiang, who hadn't said a word, and after taking a drag from his cigarette, he replied, "No, she doesn't have a boyfriend."

"Brother Hao, I'm heading back to my seat," Li Qiang said, not wanting to hear more about Lu Lin.

Chang Hao didn't stop him. One of the guys said, "You're lucky, bro—your girlfriend is really beautiful. How did you manage to win her over?"

Chang Hao grinned. "We t in the freshman group chat."

"The freshman group chat? Really? Teach us how you did it!"

So Chang Hao started boasting again. "The trick to pursuing a girl is like soaking wood. Wood is hard at first, but if you soak it in water long enough, it softens up. So the key is to spend ti with her!"

The two guys listened intently, feeling impressed. After all, this was the boyfriend of a goddess!

At this mont, Shen Yu and Zhou Yuwen were singing on stage.

"Wow, that girl is pretty cute too!"

"Oh, her? That's Shen Yu, also from the second class of Economics and Trade."

"Bro, you're sothing else! You know all the pretty girls!"

"Low-key, man. I just got lucky—she's my girlfriend's roommate," Chang Hao said, clearly enjoying the attention.

Hearing this, the two guys were even more impressed. They figured that if they could get close to Chang Hao's girlfriend, they'd have a chance to et her roommates, too.

"Bro, want a cigarette?"

"Yeah, bro, have a smoke."

Other guys nearby, overhearing Chang Hao's conversation, started gathering around him, too.

"Aren't you the class representative from the second company's fourth class?"

"Yeah, and you're the class rep from the sixth class, right?"

"Yeah!"

Having so influence made a difference—Chang Hao was quickly making connections with the people around him.

And then, one of the guys asked, "Hey, who's the guy singing on stage? Is he her boyfriend?"

"Yeah, probably," Chang Hao guessed, seeing Shen Yu and Zhou Yuwen singing together. They must be dating.

"Bro, isn't that your girlfriend? Why is she going up on stage too?"

Chang Hao looked up and saw that Zhou Yuwen and Shen Yu were about to step off the stage, but then Zheng Yanyan, with her long legs, hurried up onto the stage with a bouquet.

"Oh, I told you, they're roommates. " Chang Hao said, taking a drag from his cigarette, " she's probably just going up to give flowers.

But what happened next left everyone stunned.

Shen Yu's move had been bold and strategic. She enjoyed singing with Zhou Yuwen—they had great chemistry. Every night during military training, she would fall asleep listening to this song, and one night, she had the sudden idea to sing it with Zhou Yuwen.

And now, their performance had been a huge success.

As they finished the song, so of the students in the audience started chanting:

"Kiss! Kiss!"

Shen Yu blushed and smiled shyly.

At that mont, Zheng Yanyan stepped onto the stage with her bouquet.

Zheng Yanyan was taller than Shen Yu, and when she stepped on stage, she imdiately outshone Shen Yu. Wearing the sa pleated skirt, Zheng Yanyan's legs were noticeably longer and slimr than Shen Yu's.

She playfully said to Shen Yu, "Not bad! That was a great performance!"

Shen Yu smiled softly. "Thanks."

Then Zheng Yanyan handed the flowers to Zhou Yuwen. "Zhou Yuwen, when will you sing a song with ?"

"Maybe soday," Zhou Yuwen replied.

"Hmph, Zhou Yuwen, are you feeling proud of yourself?" Zheng Yanyan asked, draping an arm over his shoulder.

"What's there to be proud of?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

"You're not refusing

or Shen Yu. Do you enjoy having all the girls in our dorm chasing after you?" Zheng Yanyan teased.

Since there was a bit of distance between the stage and the audience, those sitting below couldn't hear what Zheng Yanyan and Zhou Yuwen were saying. They just saw her put her arm around him, which wasn't unusual considering her dance moves from earlier.

Zhou Yuwen wanted to deny her accusation. "You're overthinking it."

"I don't care! I won't let you have your way!" Zheng Yanyan declared.

Then, to everyone's shock, she suddenly stood on her tiptoes and leaned in to kiss him in front of the entire audience.

"?"

This sudden action left the audience in stunned silence.

Logically, if a boy and girl had just sung Because of Love together, they should be a couple, right?! But why?!

Why did the girl giving flowers kiss the boy so boldly?!

In the back, Chang Hao's eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

No, this wasn't just disbelief.

He was completely dumbfounded!

?

??

???

????!

"Bro, why... why did your girlfriend just kiss soone else's boyfriend?"
