"I'm not trying to say anything to you, nor am I trying to bully you. He Runqing, it's just that I know you two are married, and I feel like there are some things I need to tell you."

"You know, Chen Yifei likes me."

Zheng Fang is now calm and composed, and seems to have truly let go of the past.

"He liked me before he married you, and we were going to get married. As his ex-lover, and as a fellow woman, I'm telling you something, even if you don't like it."

He Runqing remained silent upon hearing this.

However, it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.

"What do you want to say?" He Runqing asked.

She listened patiently to others, not because she had feelings for Zheng Fang, but simply because of the polite manners she had been taught since childhood.

"He Runqing, are you really happy with him?"

"I am very happy, you don't need to worry about me. Yifei and I are doing well, and we will do even better in the future."

"Comrade Zheng Fang, you don't need to tell me these things. We are already married, so don't have any ulterior motives."

He Runqing was about to leave after he finished speaking.

But Zheng Fang stopped him: "Chen Yifei gave me this watch."

"It was something I didn't want, but I left it for you later."

At this point, He Runqing unconsciously gripped his watch, somewhat stunned.

"This is new, don't talk nonsense."

Zheng Fang sneered: "Three turns and one ring, He Runqing, even in your city, how many people can produce so many things? Now that Chen Yifei is powerful, he can't accumulate so many in a short time."

“He had already saved up for me before. He also has a house in the city, not very big, which he said he would give to me as our wedding home after we got married.”

"..." He Runqing was stunned, clearly not expecting this aspect.

"You're lying."

“I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, go ask Chen Yifei and see if he knows about that place.”

“He Runqing, I just want to say that you are not his first choice; you are just his second choice. The person he truly loves is me.”

"But none of this matters anymore. I'm getting married soon, so you can live your lives however you want. I just hope you have some self-awareness. He used to be mine, but if I want him back in the future, I can just wave him on."

"I've never taken someone like you to heart."

"You don't even know about the house he prepared for me? Do you really expect him to like you?"

"Don't make this funny. If I hadn't brought you two together, you would never have ended up together. And he wouldn't have fallen for you either."

After saying this, He Runqing clenched his fist.

"You don't need to worry about what's going on between him and me."

"I won't listen to your deliberate attempts to sow discord. Now that I've said that, I'm going home to wait for him to come back for dinner."

He Runqing's unhurried nature made Zheng Fang a little impatient.

My instinct was to shove her: "How can you be so shameless? I've already told you. Give me back my watch."

He Runqing refused to give it to her, but Zheng Fang became increasingly unreasonable.

Dealing with someone with such a soft and yielding personality feels like punching cotton; your already bad mood only gets worse.

Zheng Fang felt that this kind of person was a pushover and wanted to take advantage of her.

He Runqing took this by surprise.

Her expression remained gentle, but her actions were ruthless.

He grabbed Zheng Fang's braid and pulled hard.

"Bad comrade, you're just trying to sow discord, I thought you'd reformed."

"I never imagined they would completely forget about poisoning us."

"Detention can't stop you, so I'll take you in."

He Runqing spoke slowly and deliberately, his hands never stopping.

He kept pulling out a handful of her hair and then repeatedly hit her with his hands.

Feeling that hitting someone with his hand would hurt too much, He Runqing squatted down to get a wooden stick, which gave Zheng Fang an opportunity.

Zheng Fang quickly grabbed her watch, pulled it up, and threw it down the small hillside under the jujube tree.

He Runqing was anxious, because this was something extremely important that Chen Yifei had given her.

She insisted on taking it no matter what.

So she rushed down to get it, but because she was running too fast and it was a slope, He Runqing quickly twisted her ankle.

She crouched down in pain, clutching her hand.

When Zheng Fang saw this, she burst into laughter. Just as she was about to say something, He Runqing grabbed her foot and rolled her down from under the jujube tree.

Then he pressed a wooden stick against her face.

He twisted one ankle, but could still move the other. He kicked Zheng Fang desperately, watching her fall down, covered in mud.

He Runqing felt gratified.

The watch hands stopped moving. She felt terrible when she held it in her hand, then wiped away her tears, knowing she couldn't cry in front of bad comrades.

He limped home.

Tears blurred her vision, obscuring the road ahead, but she made no attempt to stop and wait for Chen Yifei to come to her.

They stubbornly kept moving forward.

If Chen Yifei really doesn't want her anymore, she will have to take care of herself.

Waaaaah...

Even though I think that way, it still hurts. I finally like someone, why, why are there so many problems?

The main question is whether Chen Yifei was prepared to give Zheng Fang the address of that house, since Zheng Fang was able to tell him.

She felt a little uneasy.

And is she really a substitute?

He Runqing was always afraid that he didn't like her because she liked him, and tears were falling drop by drop.

I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown.

No, she's not one to sulk, nor does she like to remain silent when there's a misunderstanding.

She still wanted to explain things clearly and asked Chen Yifei in detail.

In her opinion, arguments in a relationship are nothing to worry about, as long as things are explained clearly. If no one listens to anything, how can the relationship possibly improve?

It's a process of adjustment, after all.

She wiped away her tears as she thought about it.

But... Waaah, I miss Chen Yifei so much. I wish he were here with me right now.

——

As I was walking on the main road, Chen Yifei rode up from behind on his bicycle, humming a song.

"Forget about our past grievances,"

"The cherry blossoms have bloomed several times..."

As I was singing, I noticed a figure not far away who looked a bit like my wife.

He was just all dirty, which was strange...

Chen Yifei's heart immediately became uneasy, and he quickly rode his bicycle to catch up.

I was stunned when I saw He Runqing.

Bicycles are left aside, regardless of whether their wheels are rolling or not.

"Qingqing!"

After he called out, He Runqing looked up at him, her face covered in tears, looking like a little kitten.

She just stood there, clutching her tattered watch, looking at him pitifully.

"Chen Yifei..."

Seeing Chen Yifei approach, a wave of grievance washed over her, making her feel even more aggrieved than before.

With her lips turned down and her mouth wide open, she burst into loud sobs.

Her eyes were as red as a little rabbit's.
