“He’s already twenty-one this year. If you pursue him for another six years, he’ll be twenty-seven. In a few more years, he’ll be thirty. Can you bear to do that?”

Is it as serious as you say?

"How can it not be serious? Then tell me, do you regret spending six years pursuing Sun Qing?"

Chu Jiang was also a little embarrassed. It was impossible for him not to regret it. After all, he had loved the wrong person for the past six years. He had been so good to Sun Qing, but she called him a simp and a backup plan. Even Buddha would be angry, let alone a human.

When he overheard Sun Qing and Zhong Xue saying those things, he felt so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.

I never expected that the person I've kept in my heart for six years would evaluate me in this way.

Six years of unwavering devotion to Sun Qing were nothing more than a backup option in her eyes. Six years of sincere affection had been wasted, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken. So he chose to leave Sun Qing without hesitation, without a trace of lingering affection.

Recently, Sun Qing came over and asked him what was wrong? Why wasn't breakfast being delivered anymore, and why wasn't he helping him get his meals in line anymore?

Chu Jiang sneered inwardly. What else could it be? He didn't want to be a backup option or a simp anymore.

He wasn't that despicable. He knew perfectly well that he meant nothing to Fang Qing, so why make things difficult for himself? Getting away sooner would be better for everyone.

He just stared at her with a cold expression, not saying a word.

Sun Qing was quite embarrassed. She hadn't spoken to Chu Jiangyi for several days, and the two of them tacitly understood that there was no future for them.

Chu Jiangyi's thoughts returned, and he stopped thinking about things that had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that the two were on the verge of fighting over his own affairs, Qiu Bojie felt a little guilty.

"Stop arguing, please let me have some peace and quiet, okay? Yi-ge, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

"Show some warmth to your goddess too, but don't follow my example and say the wrong thing, leaving a bad impression on Zhong Xue."

"Okay, I understand. Try to calm yourself down first."

Chu Jiang didn't say anything more, turned around and left. He and Xiao Zhebin didn't get along for the time being, and getting together would only lead to endless arguments. It was better for both of them to leave for the time being.

He knew Xiao Zhebin meant no harm; he was just heartbroken that his sincerity over the years had been wasted and didn't want his other brother to follow in his footsteps. He understood, so he left for the time being to let the two of them calm down.

Chu Jiang also stepped outside, looking at Xi Ran who was running panting not far away. She was so tired. Seeing other girls drinking water and swallowing hard, he felt a little sorry for her.

Even in this state, she still can't bear to buy a bottle of water from the convenience store to quench her thirst. This girl is exceptionally short of money.

What happened to this girl's family? She looks so worried at such a young age.

He and Chu Jiangning were pampered by their parents since childhood and never suffered any hardship or injustice, so they couldn't truly empathize with her. Xi Ran must be suffering and exhausted, so he could only take care of her as much as possible.

Looking at that slender figure, I felt a pang of heartache for no reason. It wasn't mealtime yet, so I decided to buy some good food for her to have something to eat.

She's so thin, does she never eat?

Before long, Chu Jiang also came out of the convenience store, carrying a bag of snacks.

Chu Jiang didn't know what Xi Ran liked to eat, so he bought a little bit of everything.

Chu Jiangning is a girl who loves to eat snacks; all girls love to eat snacks, right?

He slowly walked towards the shade of the trees, carrying a plastic bag, and a group of gossipy girls began to exclaim in surprise.

"Chu Jiang is really generous. He always buys Fang Qing lots of delicious food. Only we finance girls get to enjoy this treat. We always get a lot of good food."

Sun Qing smiled shyly. Although she had accepted Chen Yang's pursuit from the law department, it didn't mean she couldn't accept the advances of other men.

It's an honor for her that these boys can eat the things they buy.

"Actually, Chu Jiangyi is quite nice. I've always considered him a good friend. He's been pursuing me for so many years, but I'm not attracted to him. However, even if we can't be lovers, we can still be good friends."

Zhong Xue sighed helplessly. She thought Chu Jiangyi had given up his obsession with Sun Qing, but it turned out that she had been overthinking things.

Such a good boy, how could he be so devoted to Sun Qing? It's really not worth it. Chu Jiang deserves a better girl. I'll have to give him a good scolding later.
