"Lin Xun, we're not a good match!"
"Thank you for your help over the past year, but I have always considered you a good friend."
"I apologize if this has caused you any misunderstanding."
Look at this! Is this something a human being would say?
Looking at Su Qing who had said those words, Lin Xun felt that she was a complete stranger at that moment!
How could she say such a thing?
Can she really pretend that nothing happened over the past year?
Although nothing had actually happened, Lin Xun couldn't believe that Su Qing had no feelings for him after spending so much time together!
"Ha, so you're saying you're treating me like a fool?"
Lin Xun stared at Su Qing with hurt in his eyes.
Su Qing didn't dare to meet his eyes at all. It was Qin Hao, who was next to her, who spoke up: "Lin Xun, don't be like this. It's like Qingqing owes you something. She just studied with you for a year. Nothing happened. You two were just helping each other out."
"Yes, Lin Xun, Su Qing and Qin Hao are together now, you should wish them well," said Zhou Ting, the homeroom teacher.
Lin Xun glanced at his homeroom teacher. He had a gut feeling that the teacher must have been bribed by Qin Hao. For a moment, he felt disgusted. He had originally planned to offer the teacher a cup of tea to thank him for his guidance over the past three years, but now it seemed unnecessary!
"You guys are going too far! What did our brother do to offend you? Huh? And you, Qin Hao, since things have come to this, stop being sarcastic! My brother doesn't care!" Li Erpang couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Qin Hao.
The students remained silent, sensing the awkward atmosphere. Although they had previously been quite optimistic about Lin Xun and Su Qing, who knew Qin Hao would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
What could they do? Of course, they'd side with Qin Hao! After all, without him, they simply couldn't afford to eat at the Forest Royal Court!
Lin Xun, I'm so sorry!
Qin Hao smiled slightly and said, "How can you say that? Ask Qingqing if she's with me willingly."
Lin Xun's eyes flickered, and he looked at Su Qing again, hoping to see a trace of struggle on her face.
But he was disappointed.
Su Qing calmly said, "I only agreed to date Qin Hao because I really like him. Besides, Lin Xun and I are innocent. You should stop gossiping about us."
Lin Xun suddenly smiled.
Alright, alright, he's just being delusional!
It's him again, the Joker!
"Lin Xun, alright, let's just leave it at that. There are plenty of pretty girls in college, you'll definitely meet your true love. But I also hope you can give my blessing to Qingqing and me." Qin Hao looked at Lin Xun, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Sunny!
Haha, they call each other so intimately!
Lin Xun had regained his composure. He shook his head and looked at Su Qing calmly, saying, "I wish you happiness."
Although there was sadness in Su Qing's eyes, she still nodded: "Thank you, I will."
Soon, the banquet proceeded as normal, with waiters bringing in dishes and drinks one after another. The earlier incident was inexplicably forgotten and passed by.
"That's too much! That's too much!" Li Erpang and Lin Xun sat on the sofa in the corner, the former glaring angrily at Qin Hao in the crowd.
"Why are you so agitated?" Lin Xun looked at him calmly.
"Brother Xun, I think that guy surnamed Qin deliberately embarrassed you in front of the whole class!"
Li Erpang said with a look of hatred.
Lin Xun said calmly, "The facts prove that he succeeded, didn't they?"
He looked at Qin Hao, who was intimately embracing Su Qing, who was also all smiles, as they both accepted toasts from the crowd.
Ha! How ironic. Just a moment ago they were mocking him and Su Qing, and now they're rushing to curry favor with Qin Hao.
That's so realistic!
This graduation banquet served as a lesson for him.
He had originally planned to confess his feelings, but now he has given up.
I and Su Qing are from different worlds.
Of course, from today onwards, they are indeed from different worlds.
Qin Hao glanced at Lin Xun out of the corner of his eye, his gaze filled with a hint of mockery and smugness. He had liked Su Qing for a long time, but he had never had the chance because of Lin Xun.
He knew that Lin Xun and Su Qing had been studying and supervising each other and had long harbored feelings for each other, so he knew that the latter would not be willing to pursue him. Therefore, he used his money to his advantage.
With just a little trickery, Su Qing took the bait!
He realized that even the most beautiful girl couldn't refuse money; if she did, it meant he hadn't given her enough!
Su Qing came from an ordinary family and wanted to go to university for a better future. At first, she was somewhat resistant to Qin Hao's advances, but after Qin Hao took her to experience the life of the wealthy during a holiday, she became very interested in it.
Expensive cosmetics, high-end dining, rare brands, cutting-edge technology—spend the most luxurious money and dine in the most luxurious places!
Most people really can't refuse!
So she gave in to life.
There was no way around it; Qin Hao had given too much!
Even if she secretly harbored feelings for Lin Xunzhen, they were washed away by Qin Hao's wealth!
She longed to live a high-society life!
That's just how reality is!
"Would you like to toast your old flame back then?" Qin Hao whispered in Su Qing's ear.
Su Qing frowned: "He's not my old flame."
"Hehe, alright, alright, go toast them and say goodbye properly," Qin Hao said nonchalantly.
Su Qing nodded, then picked up a glass of wine and walked towards Lin Xun.
As Qin Hao watched Su Qing's graceful figure from behind, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes.
"Lin Xun".
Lin Xun was cracking peanuts with Li Erpang when he heard the sound and was startled. He looked at Su Qing and asked, "What are you doing here? Your boyfriend won't be jealous, will he?"
Su Qing glanced at Qin Hao, who was already dealing with his classmates, then looked away at Lin Xun and said, "I'm sorry."
Lin Xun's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Do you think saying sorry now will do any good?"
Looking at the arrogant and aloof boy, Su Qing took a deep breath and said calmly, "Lin Xun, although I admit that I am very grateful for your help during this time, there is no possibility between us."
"Is it because I'm poor?"
Lin Xun looked directly at her.
Su Qing nodded seriously: "Yes, you can't give me the life I want!"
Lin Xun didn't want to talk anymore.
He's only eighteen years old, how could he possibly provide for a girl's livelihood?
"This glass is for you. Let's end our friendship here."
Ignoring Lin Xun, Su Qing tilted her head back and downed the glass of wine.
Lin Xun's eyes held a complex expression.
"I hope you take good care of yourself in the future. Also, I've decided to take the entrance exam for Peking University with Qin Hao, instead of Nanjing University with you."
After saying that, Su Qing turned and went back.
Lin Xun watched her retreating figure without saying a word.
"Erpang, are you still going to eat?"
"I can't afford it, but I want some skewers."
"Let's go then, it's my treat."
Just as the two, feeling out of place, were about to leave, the door to the private room suddenly opened.
