Chapter 336
Tong Yan immediately snatched Xu Xinduo’s mobile phone after listening to her speak and sent another,”You don’t need to come, scram.”
Very soon, Wei Lan replied, “You two are still together even though it’s this late? Okay, I understand, hahaha!”
The laughter at the end had an evident tone of lewdness to it that made Xu Xinduo unable to recover for a long time.
After she came back to her senses, she immediately kicked Tong Yan, “You bastard!”
Tong Yan asked innocently, “What’s with me?”
“I’m leaving, I don’t care anymore.”
After Xu Xinduo finished speaking, she opened the window and Tong Yan brought her padded jacket over. Afterwards, he followed her actions and jumped out the window as well with the intention to send her off.
Finally, he felt relieved only after he saw Xu Xinduo going into De Yu’s car. No matter how strong she was, in his heart, she was going to need some form of protection— otherwise she would be a lone tiger facing a pack of wolves.
When he was walking back, Tong Yan saw Shao Qinghe sitting in the vending machine room. He sat there with an open window as he smoked a cigarette and looked at him.
Tong Yan, “…”
The smart kid of the Advanced Class was behaving more arrogantly than he was.
Shao Qinghe still looked like he was smiling and didn’t panic in the slightest when they saw each other. Instead, he said indifferently, “Let’s keep our respective secrets.”
Tong Yan nodded and replied, “Okay.”
After walking for a while, Tong Yan turned back and stood in front of Shao Qinghe before asking, “What is your standing with her?”
Shao Qinghe thought about it seriously before replying, “I’m very interested in her.”
Tong Yan raised his chin slightly and continued to ask, “And?”
“There’s no such thing after that; I’m afraid no one can get in between you two,” Shao Qinghe liked to observe others, so he could see that the friendship between Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan was extraordinarily close.
In this relationship, as long as Tong Yan didn’t do anything that would greatly disappoint Xu Xinduo, she would never leave him. Similarly, Tong Yan would always keep an eye on Xu Xinduo. Even though they maintained their distance ever since the start of the school term, his train of sight never once left her.
The shackles were tied between the two and no one else could force their way in.
This answer seemed to have pleased Tong Yan. He had a slightly better attitude towards Shao Qinghe as he asked again, “Have you lost hope or something?”
“Not really. When you’re annoyed or troubled, you have her to accompany you, but I don’t.”
“How about Mu Qingyi?”
“He’s also an annoying guy, so there’s no need for us to worsen the other.”
Tong Yan didn’t say much as he looked at Shao Qinghe again who took a whiff of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke from his nose.
Tong Yan really felt that this was quite an eye-opener. Suddenly, he remembered that Xu Xinduo once mentioned Shao Qinghe’s possible attempt in committing suicide.
After Tong Yan returned to the dormitory, he sent Xu Xinduo a message about this.
Xu Xinduo was in the car as she replied quickly: [I think Shao Qinghe is just making a choice— whether to settle down for once and for all or leave his actual family. The first choice would enable him to free himself and sort of take revenge on the family as his parents would lose another child, which would be heart-wrenching. The second choice would be to live for himself.]
Tong Yan: [Yo, you understand him pretty well.]
Xu Xinduo: [I only like you.]
Tong Yan: [Okay, you coaxed me enough.]
Xu Xinduo: [I’m afraid that it would be around his college years when he comes to terms in making a choice; I don’t know if he can still hold on for more than another year and a half.]
