Chapter 352: Don't Contact Me Anymore

Jiang Yuxu took nearly twenty minutes to take a shower, and only then did he feel better.

He didn't blow dry his hair, tied a towel around his neck to prevent dripping, and sat on the edge of the bed.

As soon as I sat down, the phone on the bedside table vibrated a few times and a WeChat message came in.

Jiang Yuxu's work schedule was full, and it was common for him to receive work messages on weekends. He thought there were some last-minute arrangements today, but when he opened the message, he found it was from someone he hadn't contacted for a long time.

——Cheng Mi.

His roommate during his master's degree.

There is another identity: Gui Qing’s ex-boyfriend.

At first, Jiang Yuxu didn't specifically inquire about the relationship between the two of them, but as Cheng Mi's roommate, it was hard for him not to know.

It can be said that he witnessed the entire process of their love.

Even if it can't be said to be a life-and-death struggle, it can still be described as "spectacular". When they first got together, they were extremely affectionate. Cheng Mi's life basically revolved around her every day, and their quarrels were earth-shattering.

Jiang Yuxu still remembers that once Cheng Mi had a quarrel with Gui Qing, she specifically asked her friend to ask her out and held a public apology ceremony on the tennis court with roses all over the floor.

If he hadn't recalled it today, Jiang Yuxu wouldn't have realized that his memory was so good that he even remembered such things.

Perhaps because he had rarely seen such things, this incident had a certain degree of impact on him at the time - he had never been interested in falling in love, and seeing such a cumbersome and extravagant ceremony, he found it even more troublesome.

As a result, my impression of Cheng Mi, his girlfriend, was just average.

But she never expected that one day, he would become entangled with her.

Jiang Yuxu was distracted for a while, then returned his attention to the phone screen and looked closely at Cheng Mi's message.

Cheng Mi: [Yu Xu, long time no see! Are you busy lately?]

When someone you haven't contacted for a long time suddenly comes to say hello, it's definitely not just to say a few words.

Jiang Yuxu: [Same as always, what do you want to talk to me about?]

Cheng Mi: [I've been transferred to Beicheng for work. Let's have dinner together someday. It's been years since we last met. I miss you so much.]

Cheng Mi was transferred to Beicheng?

Seeing this message, Jiang Yuxu subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the bedroom door.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he replied: [Sure, I have time tomorrow, the weekend.]

Cheng Mi: [Tomorrow is not possible. I have an appointment. I will contact you in advance next week to confirm the time.]

Jiang Yu preface: [Good.]

Cheng Mi: [Guess who I made a date with? ]

Jiang Yuxu had no interest in other people's affairs, and when Cheng Mi said he had an appointment just now, he just ignored it.

I didn't expect him to ask that - normally, if someone asked that, it could only be someone they both knew.

Jiang Yuxu: [I can’t guess.]

Cheng Mi: [Do you remember the girlfriend I was dating when I was about to graduate?]

Jiang Yuxu was originally not interested, but after seeing this message, his eyebrows suddenly jumped and his eyes were fixed on the screen.

Without waiting for his reply, Cheng Mi continued: [The one who studies programming.]

I was studying programming and we talked about it when I was about to graduate.

Who else could it be but Gui Qing?

Jiang Yuxu unconsciously clenched his phone: [Oh, I don't quite remember.]

Cheng Mi: [She's also in North City. I ran into her at the airport a few days ago and made an appointment for dinner.]

Jiang Yuxu raised his head again and looked at the bedroom door.

On WeChat, Cheng Mi was still telling him about her inner journey: [After so many years, I found that I still like her very much.]

Jiang Yuxu: [You want to pursue her? ]

Cheng Mi: [Yes, there is such a plan. She told me that she is still single. Is this a hint?]

Jiang Yuxu: [I don’t know.]

He felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation and restlessness in his chest. As a person with a stable mood, this feeling was too unfamiliar.

Jiang Yuxu took a few deep breaths, sent a message to Cheng Mi saying "I have something else to do, let's not talk anymore", and ended the conversation.

Jiang Yuxu had just put his phone back in its place when he heard a knock on the door.

When he looked up, Gui Qing had already pushed the door open and walked in.

She had just finished her meal and was feeling lazy. When she came in and saw Jiang Yuxu with wet hair and wearing a T-shirt, she immediately understood something.

Gui Qing chuckled, walked up to him, and tugged at the towel around his neck.

"Jiang Lu, come on, I just got a takeaway, and you're making me feel like I'm eating something unclean."

Gui Qing had long known that Jiang Yuxu lived a life of luxury, or to put it bluntly, he was very busy, but she had never expected it to be so exaggerated.

It was just a bowl of spicy hot pot, but he acted like he had touched some poison.

Jiang Yuxu raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him. When she smiled, she had a unique temperament, sexy and lazy, casual but always exuding a fatal attraction.

She seems to smile like this at everyone.

Jiang Yuxu remembered what Cheng Mi had just said on WeChat.

Gui Qing told Cheng Mi that she was single. This wasn't a lie, after all, their current relationship wasn't something that could be shown on the stage, but—

Jiang Yuxu recalled the thought that flashed through his mind when he just came back, and suddenly felt it was extremely ironic.

He was also very glad that Cheng Mi came to chat with him at this critical moment, so that he would not become a laughing stock.

In fact, Gui Qing has always been clear-headed, and he is the one who is confused.

Jiang Yuxu remained silent for a long time, his expression very serious, which made Gui Qing frown.

She waved her hand in front of him. "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Yuxu came back to his senses and said calmly, "You're done eating, you can go back."

Gui Qing: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Jiang Yuxu: "It has nothing to do with you."

He never liked discussing personal matters with her, so Gui Qing readily accepted this answer: "OK, just pretend I didn't ask."

Jiang Yuxu: "Take all your things with you when you leave."

The smile on Gui Qing's lips gradually disappeared. After a few seconds, she stared at him carefully, narrowing her eyes slightly: "Jiang Lu, what do you mean?"

Jiang Yuxu: "From now on, apart from work, please don't contact me privately."

He made the decision decisively, thanks to Cheng Mi's "reminder" just now.

It would do him no good to wallow in a relationship that was leading nowhere.

He and Gui Qing are not the same kind of people. There are very obvious differences in their living habits and values. Even if he really wants to develop a formal relationship with her, she may not be willing.

Also, the Jiang family would most likely not accept her.

If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. Only by ending it as soon as possible can you get back on track.

Gui Qing laughed again: "Is Jiang Lu going to break up with me?"

Jiang Yuxu: "We shouldn't have had a relationship in the first place."

"How heartless." Gui Qing said, "I thought that after such a long time, you would be reluctant to let me go."

Jiang Yuxu: "You think too much."

Gui Qing: "Yeah, it's true that I was overthinking it."

She took a step back, her posture calm and cool. "Don't worry, Jiang Lu, I will never pester you. Since you said it's over, I won't contact you except for work."

"By the way, thank you for the clothes." Gui Qing waved her hand. "Then I'll be leaving first."
