Chapter 204 Extra - Shu Jia (5)

Shu Jia took a deep breath. Perhaps it was time to break up. She shouldn't have continued to be with Li Qingji out of guilt. It was her hesitation and soft heart that made the rift between them grow wider and wider.

Better a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one, Shu Jia finally made up her mind.

For a whole week, Li Qingji didn't send any messages to Shu Jia or make a single phone call. Every time Shu Jia tried to call him, he hung up on her.

So Shu Jia simply stopped worrying about it and focused on her work. After submitting her thesis, finishing her video editing, and completing her project, Shu Jia finally had time to resolve the issues between her and Li Qingji.

This time, Shu Jia blocked Li Qingji's dormitory building entrance directly.

I didn't run into Li Qingji, but I did run into Li Qingji's roommate.

“Li Qingji moved out after finding a job and no longer lives in the dormitory.”

After separating from his roommate, Shu Jia felt a little uneasy. Li Qingji was right; he had indeed been too indifferent to the other person.

Following the address given by Li Qingji's roommate, Shu Jia went straight to the door.

What Shu Jia saw next made her feel disgusted.

When Shu Jia arrived at Li Qingji's apartment, she wanted to knock on the door, but found that the door was ajar and not closed properly.

Just as Shu Jia was about to greet Li Qingji, she heard unspeakable, ambiguous moans coming from inside the door.

Shu Jia immediately held her breath, and the door quietly opened.

Upon entering, clothes are scattered all over the floor in the entryway, and the most eye-catching item is a semi-transparent lace bra on the shoe cabinet that makes one blush.

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing that's unclear.

Shu Jia was not only not angry, but even breathed a sigh of relief. Now, both sides had problems, so they were evenly matched.

In all serious matters, Li Qingji's infidelity is more serious.

She didn't want to disturb Li Qingji's good time in the bedroom, nor did she want to continue listening to the increasingly exciting mixed male and female high-pitched voices from the next room.

Shu Jia suppressed her nausea, took out her phone, recorded an audio clip, took some indecent photos of the living room, and then left Li Qingji's apartment, even closing the door behind her in a rather friendly manner.

On this day, Shu Jia's worldview was completely redefined.

Li Qingji kept saying he loved Shu Jia so much that he couldn't live without her. But just a week after their argument, before they even officially broke up, Li Qingji was able to sleep with another woman without any hesitation.

Oh--

Is this how Li Qingji loves her?

Shu Jia felt nauseous.

As for her and Li Qingji, let's just leave it at that and part ways amicably.

In the days that followed, Shu Jia was busy preparing for her graduation defense. She was so busy that she almost forgot about Li Qingji's existence if he hadn't come to her door again.

"What do you want?"

“Jiajia, I’ve thought a lot about this lately. I’ve tried to forget you, but I’ve failed. I still can’t live without you.”

Shu Jia felt nauseous, as if she had eaten shit.

She wanted to part ways with Li Qingji amicably. Taking photos as evidence was also for archiving. If Li Qingji didn't come looking for her, then this evidence would never see the light of day again. If Li Qingji was shameless, then she would completely break ties with him.

It seems that Li Qingji doesn't want to part ways amicably with her.

"What's the point of saying one thing to someone's face and another behind their back?"

Shu Jia asked in return, her face expressionless.

"What do you mean?" Li Qingji asked, his face full of confusion.

Shu Jia took out her phone, and the ambiguous moans were crystal clear.

Li Qingji was completely dumbfounded and stood there stunned.

"Jiajia, listen to me. That woman seduced me. I was just feeling lonely and didn't realize she was lying. You have to believe me, you're the only one in my heart!"

"Enough! You disgust me. This is the end of it!"

Shu Jia put away her phone and turned to leave.

Li Qingji grabbed Shu Jia's arm, pleading, "Jiajia, don't break up. I truly love you, and you're the only one in my heart!"

"Sorry, I'm not worthy of your love," Shu Jia said coldly, breaking free from Li Qingji's hand and taking several steps back to distance herself from him.

"Shu Jia, are you really so heartless as to break up with me?"

"Otherwise what? You think I'm joking?"

Seeing that his pleas were ineffective, Li Qingji's face, which had just shown pain and sadness, immediately turned completely sinister: "If you hadn't hidden it away and refused to let me touch you, would I have gone out to find other women to satisfy my physical needs? Shu Jia, you just want to break up like that? Isn't that a bit too heartless?"

"I'm heartless? Li Qingji, are you a human being or a beast who can't control his lower body? If you're a beast, then I have nothing to say. If you're a human being, then you've definitely cheated on me."

"Ha! I cheated? I'm a beast? Shu Jia, don't act like you're so high and mighty! Look at any couple like us, dating for a year and not even kissing once? Is this normal for a boyfriend and girlfriend? Do you even have a heart?"

"So what? This is the high-sounding excuse you give for cheating?"

Li Qingji, we're both adults, let's be frank. In this relationship, I had problems. I didn't love you, yet I became your girlfriend and stayed with you for so long, wasting a lot of your time. But that's not an excuse for your infidelity. So, let's break up. I was wrong, and you were wrong too. Let's both be dignified and not make things too ugly.

Li Qingji gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Shu Jia, and finally sneered, "Shu Jia, you have no heart at all. You're so calm even when it comes to breaking up. I want to see how a cold-hearted and selfish woman like you will end up alone!"

The two eventually parted on bad terms.

Outsiders were saddened by this, as the couple, who were expected to go from campus to wedding, could not escape the curse of graduation season being breakup season.

——

"Cold-hearted, selfish, and destined to die alone..."

Li Qingji's words were like a curse, lingering in Shu Jia's mind and affecting her work efficiency and mood.

No--

Shu Jia thought to herself, she would never grow old alone!

How can a scumbag like Li Qingji have so many women around him?

With such a virtuous character and so many friends around her, how could she possibly end up alone?

Shu Jia rejected another man who tried to chat her up, then tilted her head back and emptied her glass in one gulp.

Look—she's not ugly, and with such a good market value, how could she end up alone?

Shu Jia sat lazily on the high platform, while the dance floor was filled with men and women dancing intimately and passionately.

Desire is fully displayed here.

Shu Jia took out her phone out of boredom, wanting to find someone to drink with her, the kind where they drink until they're completely drunk.

She opened her contacts and swiped her finger several times, but the list didn't even reach the bottom.

"Sister Chan and my crush are definitely going to be all lovey-dovey at this hour, we can't disturb them! Brother Da is probably asleep by now, it wouldn't be good to wake him up..."
