Chapter 425 It Won't Last Long



Rong Yan wavered.

She opened the alumni association program, which began with a speech by Professor Zhang Jingzhi.

When Rongyan was a sophomore, Professor Zhang, who had already retired, was rehired to teach them classical Chinese. She never used PowerPoint in class and insisted on writing on the blackboard for every class, even though she was seventy years old at the time. Rongyan's favorite subjects were classical Chinese and modern and contemporary literature.

One day after class, she mustered up the courage to ask Professor Zhang for her contact information. To her surprise, Professor Zhang agreed without hesitation. Later, whenever Rong Yan had questions to ask her, Professor Zhang always answered patiently.

Knowing that Rongyan liked writing novels, Teacher Zhang encouraged her to write online novels first and gave suggestions on the beginning of her writing.

It can be said that Rong Yan owes the most gratitude to Teacher Zhang for becoming an online writer.

What surprised Rong Yan the most was that during a chat with Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang actually told Rong Yan that she was following Rong Yan's novel and said that Rong Yan would become famous sooner or later.

Sure enough, before university was even necessary, Rong Yan's novel became a hit, though few people knew that Qingnian was her.

"I'll think about it," Rong Yan said.

“Okay, feel free to contact me anytime if you have any ideas. I’m one of the planners.” Xu Yajie raised an eyebrow.

"What are you chatting about? You seem to be having a lot of fun." Fu Jingsheng came over from the bathroom.

Rong Yan told Fu Jingsheng about the alumni association event, and added at the end, "Fu Jingsheng, you're an alumnus too, why don't you come along?"

“If you go, I’ll go.” Fu Jingsheng followed Rong Yan.

"Senior, let's think about it and then let you know." Rong Yan planned to discuss it with her husband privately before making a decision.

In the swimming pool.

Fu Yunlei, looking like a little teacher, grabbed Xiaoyu's arms and said, "Water skiing, stop now."

Fu Yunting then helped Xiaoyu correct her movements.

Two little girls swam back and forth along the swimming lanes.

Unlike Rong Yan and the others who were carefree, Rong Bing was extremely depressed.

After falling out with Zhou Luo, she knew that even if she posted the recording on a public website, it would only humiliate her and bring her no other benefits.

The original purpose of threatening Fu Jingchen was to make him break up with Zhou Luo. Now that Zhou Luo knows about the recording, she directly tells her that they will never break up, so the recording is worthless.

Is she just going to give up like that?

Rong Bing sat in the bathtub, hugging her knees. Even though it was almost noon, the room felt pitch black.

At Fu Jingchen's company, the man took half a day off in the afternoon, worried about Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo suffered from insomnia all night and fell asleep in a daze in the morning. When Fu Jingchen arrived at the hotel, she was fast asleep. She was woken up by the doorbell and got up, staggering to open the door.

"Did you just wake up?" Fu Jingchen asked, seeing the disheveled woman.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night. What brings you here?" Zhou Luo asked, head drooping.

"I'm worried. Did you skip breakfast or lunch? What would you like to eat? I'll get some to go." Fu Jingchen said with concern.

After Rong Bing told Zhou Hou what had happened, Fu Jingchen felt relieved.

Now all he wants to do is to treat Zhou Luo well.

Zhou Luo said she wasn't hungry, but her stomach started growling uncontrollably.

"I want to drink A-Xi avocado milk tea, no extra sugar, and also the 'Greedy Cat's' towel roll." Zhou Luo thought for a moment, "That's all."

Fu Jingchen beamed, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Just wait here patiently." After saying that, he kissed the woman's forehead and hurriedly left.

He only found out there were several flavors when he bought the towel rolls, so he bought them all.

Then I bought milk tea, and finally, on my own initiative, I bought some snacks.

I ran all the way back to the hotel.

When the man reappeared, panting heavily, Zhou Luo saw the sweat on his face and asked, "Why are you running? I'll starve if I don't."

“You won’t starve, but I’m worried you’ll feel uncomfortable if you’re hungry. Oh, and I bought all the towel rolls I didn’t know which flavor you liked, and I also bought some pine nuts. I remember you like them, so I’ll peel them for you. You can have your dessert first.” Fu Jingchen came in and closed the door behind him.

Zhou Luo sipped her milk tea slowly, glancing occasionally at Fu Jingchen who was peeling pine nuts. She couldn't help but say, "Actually, only the person drinking the water knows whether it's hot or cold. You should trust what you feel, rather than what others say."

"Huh?" Fu Jingchen thought Zhou Luo was talking to him, but he didn't seem to understand.

“I said I felt loved when I was with you. You are very thoughtful and good to me, and that’s enough.” Zhou Luo looked at Fu Jingchen. The man in front of her couldn’t be faking it, and it was even less likely that he was only doing it for that reason.

“I have always loved you. Who says I don’t love you? Rong Bing? Don’t believe a word she says.” Fu Jingchen was certain that Rong Bing was trying to sow discord. “She’s only thinking about breaking us up. If you believe her, you’re just doing what she wants.”

"I know, I have my own judgment, but I was just angry at the time and didn't think of a reply." Zhou Luo had already figured it out in the morning, so he was fast asleep.

Despite winning the verbal battle that night, Rong Bing became increasingly unhappy.

She sat in the kitchen, holding a cleaver, the blade pointing at her as she struggled with her own thoughts.

She kept telling herself not to do anything, while simultaneously asking herself what the point of living was.

Chen Xiu sent Rong Bing several messages in the morning but received no reply. Sensing that something was wrong with Rong Bing, she rushed to their neighborhood.

The front door of Rong Bing's house was half open.

Chen Xiu walked straight in and saw Rong Bing as soon as she entered.

The kitchen door was open and diagonally opposite the main entrance.

"Bingbing!" Chen Xiu rushed over and snatched the knife from the woman's hand. "What are you doing?"

Rong Bing hugged Chen Xiu's waist: "Xiu Xiu, I'm finished, really finished. I want to die with him, but I can't get close to him at all. I can't even get into Zhou Luo's house."

"That's no excuse for you to be foolish. Didn't you tell me that your sister and the others would arrange a job for you when they came back? The future is long. Fu Jingchen is nothing. Your sister and the others are so capable. They must know a lot of outstanding people. As long as you do well, why worry about not finding someone better?"

Chen Xiu has said this so many times, but she doesn't know if she can truly persuade Rong Bing.

"Come stay at my place for a few days." Chen Xiu pushed Rong Bing out of the kitchen. "Pack some clothes and come over."

"Xiuxiu, you're the best to me." Rong Bing looked at her friend with emotion.

"I know I'm good to you, so can you make me worry less? Honestly, I've taken so many days off this month. If this keeps up, I'll lose my year-end bonus. When you get back to Rong Yan, you'll have to make it up to me." Chen Xiu joked to ease the tension.

Rong Bing choked up as she said, "Okay."

"Promise me you won't contact him again. Living a decent life is the best revenge against him. As for Zhou Luo and him, don't worry, it won't last. Zhou Luo is no pushover." As an observer, Chen Xiu had long seen through Zhou Luo's bitchy nature. Once, Rong Bing introduced her to Zhou Luo, and she had reminded Rong Bing at the time.

"Yes, I'm waiting to see their retribution. I must live a good life. I also need to cooperate with the training and strive to walk like a normal person as soon as possible." Rong Bing finally saw a glimmer of hope.
