Chapter 128 "We didn't break up, she didn't abandon me."
"Was Fang Qizhou really cheated on?"
"Dude, are you still using 2G? It's true, I have pictures and videos!"
"This has been circulating for three days now, and you're only finding out today?"
"The week after New Year's Day is the final exam week. I've been in the library all holiday. Today, thinking about New Year's Day, I gave myself a two-hour break. When I went back to my dorm to rest, my roommate who didn't go home called her friend and said that Zhu Fan cheated on Fang Qizhou. We ate the gossip for more than an hour."
"Send me the post again. Is the server down or was the post deleted? I can't open it!"
"I have some photos and videos saved here, I'll send them to you now."
"Holy crap, passionate kissing in a bar! They didn't leave the hotel all night!!! Seriously, is this some kind of sensation?"
"There are many AI-generated videos and photos nowadays."
"The videos and photos are all real..."
Yi Jia stood outside the library waiting for Qiu Chen. Everyone who walked past him was saying that Zhu Fan had cheated on Fang Qizhou.
She looked coldly at the two boys who were chattering incessantly and standing a few meters away from her, loudly gossiping.
Yi Jia walked up to the two men, annoyed. "You two grown men, why are you so gossipy? What's it to you?"
Two boys, both over 1.8 meters tall, stood in front of Yi Jia. Their faces were filled with the excitement of witnessing the gossip about their best friend.
Boy A asked excitedly, "You and Zhu Fan are best friends. I heard she dropped out of school for her boyfriend and went on a trip abroad with him?"
Boy B chimed in, "It's only rich people who can be so capricious. They can just quit school whenever they want, and they can just switch partners when they get bored with a great relationship."
Yi Jia's face was cold and stern. She didn't know how many times she had repeated these words. Her tone was firm: "I'll say it again, Zhu Fan did not cheat on her boyfriend, nor did she do anything to betray him."
Zhu Fan likes Fang Qizhou so much, these must be misunderstandings.
She couldn't get in touch with Zhu Fan, and all she had was her mouth.
She couldn't silence the gossip of the onlookers at all.
She went to the Zhu family home to look for Zhu Fan several times, but the housekeeper said that Zhu Fan had not yet returned from abroad.
Yi Jia went to Ge Fei to look for A Yuan, but couldn't find her.
Boy A: "There are photos and videos. Do you even believe what you're saying? She cheated on you and kept it from her best friend?"
Boy B: "Have you seen that guy? Is he even more handsome than Fang Qizhou?"
Yi Jia swore, his hands trembling with anger.
Qiu Chen approached Yi Jia, his face, which had been sour for several days, was no longer so gloomy. He pulled Yi Jia away, saying, "It's not worth arguing with these people."
Seeing him dressed in all black for a funeral, Yi Jia asked, "Is the funeral for Old Madam Leng over?"
Fang Qibai's maternal grandmother passed away three nights ago, and the funeral was held this morning.
Qiu Chen went to the funeral of Old Madam Leng with his grandfather, and came to Peking University as soon as the funeral was over.
Seeing Qiu Chen nod, Yi Jia glared at the two boys who were still standing in front of her.
Qiu Chen pulled Yi Jia away and showed her his phone with the screen lit up, saying, "A-Yuan replied to my message."
Yi Jia instantly forgot about the two boys.
Seeing Qiu Chen constantly typing messages to A-Yuan, she became extremely anxious. "Why don't you video call A-Yuan and ask her where Fanfan is?"
Why didn't she reply to messages or answer phone calls? And why did she leave without saying goodbye two days before Fang Qizhou returned?
Fang Qizhou couldn't find Fanfan when he returned, and he was frantic with worry.
Zhu Fan didn't reply to any of the messages or calls.
The phone is always switched off when I call it.
They couldn't even find out which country or region Zhu Fan was in; all they knew was that she had left Beijing three days ago on a private plane.
Fang Qizhou returned to China after his business trip. Rumors spread throughout Peking University that Zhu Fan and a mysterious man were passionately kissing in a bar, and that the two went into a hotel late at night and didn't come out until the next morning.
Yi Jia didn't believe Zhu Fan was that kind of person, and neither did Qiu Chen.
Qiu Chen was so anxious he was practically burning up, but A Yuan still hadn't replied to his message.
Yi Jia was about to say something when Wen Yuxing called out to them.
Wen Yuxing searched for Yi Jia for a long time before stepping forward and stopping the two of them. His first question was, "Have you contacted Zhu Fan yet?"
Yi Jia knew Wen Yuxing was anxious, and they were also eager to find out the situation.
Suffering from hypoglycemia, Yi Jia squatted uncomfortably on the ground.
Qiu Chen poured some rainbow candy for her.
Yi Jia paused for a few seconds before speaking: "If I get in touch with Fanfan, I definitely won't hide it from you."
Wen Yuxing had a stubble beard, was wearing the wrong sneakers, and had a messy, disheveled hairstyle.
"If we can't find Zhu Fan, my brother Zhou will really go crazy."
The air was still.
Wen Yuxing grabbed her hair with both hands and spun around in a panic.
After learning that the man who went to the hotel with Zhu Fan was his cousin, he was too ashamed to face his cousin, Zhou Ge.
He begged and pleaded with everyone he could to help him find Zhu Fan.
Can't find it. Absolutely not.
Yi Jia got up from the ground. "Has something happened to the Zhu family?"
Qiu Chen gripped his phone, also sensing something was amiss.
Yi Jia glanced at the distraught Wen Yuxing, "Is Fang Qizhou alright?"
Wen Yuxing shook his head. "No, not good at all."
He wanted to find Wenhe to find out what was going on, but Wenhe wouldn't answer his calls at all.
Yi Jia instructed Qiu Chen to continue contacting A Yuan, and she went to Fang Qizhou's apartment to find him.
Wen Yuxing and Qiu Chen looked at her at the same time: "Me too."
When the three arrived at Fang Qizhou's apartment, he was about to leave with a black backpack on his back.
Zhu Fan disappeared for three days, and Fang Qizhou's world was empty for three days as well.
Yi Jia met his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat—
She never imagined that one day she would see Fang Qizhou in such a dull, lifeless state.
Qiu Chen and Wen Yuxing stood to the side, remaining silent for a long time.
Fang Qizhou closed the door, didn't even look at them, and walked straight towards the elevator.
Yi Jia pressed down on the elevator doors that were about to close: "We have news about Fanfan."
Qiu Chen and Wen Yuxing both looked at the phone she was holding.
Fang Qizhou paused in his steps.
Yi Jia gripped her phone tightly, pressed her body against the elevator door, and said in a trembling voice, "Fang Qizhou, go take a shower, change your clothes, and have a proper meal... I'll have Fanfan call you."
Fang Qizhou lowered his eyes and looked at the darkened phone screen in her hand.
"Get out of the way."
His voice was terribly hoarse, and the glimmer of hope that had just ignited in his eyes quickly dimmed again.
Yi Jia's words were false, which Qiu Chen and Wen Yuxing could tell, let alone Fang Qizhou.
Qiu Chen and Wen Yuxing had poor acting skills, but they tried their best to cooperate with Yi Jia.
Fang Qizhou's appearance was so terrible that it was unbearable to look at.
Yi Jia didn't let go, even though Fang Qizhou's gaze was so intense it made her uneasy.
“Fang Qizhou, Fanfan would never betray you… If she knew you’d gotten yourself into this state, she’d be heartbroken. There must be a reason she’s not answering the phone…”
Fang Qizhou stepped out of the elevator.
"We didn't break up, she didn't abandon me."
The voice was spoken very softly.
Yi Jia nodded vigorously, "You two didn't break up... Fanfan likes you so much, she told me that she would stay with you forever."
Fang Qizhou's cracked and bleeding lips twitched slightly, and the light in his eyes finally began to shine back slowly, little by little.
