Chu Jiang stared intently at the woman in front of him, observing her expression. She didn't seem to be lying, and without the slightest hint of guilt, he believed her story.
"You really didn't leave the two red and one green ones to humiliate people?"
Xi Ran nodded vigorously.
"No, no, please believe me, that's all I have."
If it weren't for the fact that one hundred-yuan bill is too little, would she have needed to leave behind all her assets?
That's her monthly living expenses!
It's quite impressive that so much was left behind!
She's having such a hard time!
Chu Jiang also sneered and said coldly, "Are you afraid I'll come after you for money, so you ran away in a hurry without saying goodbye?"
Xi Ran pursed her lips, her face full of embarrassment, unsure how to answer his question, and chose to remain silent.
Chu Jiang looked at her with interest. "If you don't say anything, that'll be taken as a yes."
Xi Ran nodded generously!
They admitted it!
"At the time, I didn't know the market, and I was going to be late for school, so I hurriedly left all my belongings behind."
Chu Jiang also looked him up and down with a suspicious gaze.
"Your entire fortune consists of only two red and one green items?"
"You think it's not enough?"
"no."
"If you think it's not enough, just say so, and I can add some more for you."
Chu Jiang's veins bulged, and he wished he could strangle the woman in front of him.
She knows how to stir up other people's emotions.
"Who cares about your paltry sum?"
Her anger subsided only after she said she didn't mean to humiliate her.
Just those few words made my temper rise rapidly!
She knows how to infuriate people!
But it was quite heartwarming that she said it wasn't intentional!
It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up!
I feel less upset now!
"You're quite something to run away after sleeping with someone!"
Xi Ran looked puzzled, her big, innocent eyes blinking. Could there be more to this?
"ah?"
Chu Jiang shrugged and slowly said, "What 'ah'? You should at least have told me before you left. Running away like this is so irresponsible. We should at least discuss the responsibility."
Xi Ran froze for a moment, her eyes widening in disbelief. "You, you, you don't mean you want me to take responsibility, do you? This is something the girl suffers from. How can you, a grown man, have the nerve to ask me to take responsibility for you?"
Chu Jiang also said casually, "What you're saying is wrong. You took your virginity from me, shouldn't you take responsibility?"
Recalling what happened that night, Xi Ran blushed. She really had no right to do so, since she was the one who took the initiative first.
"But...but...that night was mine too...mine..."
Xi Ran blushed and couldn't bring herself to say the next thing.
Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow. "You were the same that night... I know, but that can't be an excuse for your irresponsibility."
Xi Ran's face turned red with anxiety, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "Trading chastity for chastity, you're not at a loss. Stop pestering me. Let's part ways amicably."
Chu Jiang waved his hand, "No, no, I'm very conservative. My virginity is reserved for my future wife. If you take it, you should take responsibility for me."
"So you're destined to be my future wife!"
Xi Ran sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. How did she end up provoking such a scoundrel? She didn't have time for romance; she had to make money to pay off her debts.
Her younger brother was waiting for her living expenses and didn't have time to chat with others.
"This kind of thing is disadvantageous for girls. How can you, a grown man, make me take responsibility?"
"If you were unwilling, you should have pushed me away that night instead of choosing to succumb."
Chu Jiang knew he was in the wrong, so he touched his nose and argued, "I was completely drunk that night, and I had already called a Didi (ride-hailing service), but you pulled me away from around the corner, which led to this incident. Shouldn't you take responsibility?"
Xi Ran couldn't argue with her. It was her fault to begin with; the other person was walking peacefully in the corridor, and she was the one who forcibly took her away.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that to you. I'm really sorry, please forgive me."
Xi Ran bowed deeply, her attitude as sincere as could be, leaving no room for criticism.
Chu Jiang didn't want to be too aggressive, so his tone softened considerably. "This can't be entirely your fault. I was also at fault. After all, you were under the influence of drugs and your mind wasn't clear. I was just drunk, but I still chose to indulge myself and didn't control myself."
"Perhaps it was because he no longer wanted to restrain himself, or perhaps it was for revenge, that the incident that night happened."
"revenge?"
Chu Jiang also laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yeah! The girl I sincerely pursued for six years was just a backup option in other people's eyes, the most insignificant little fish in her entire fishpond. No matter how hard I tried, I could never become her."
