Chapter 39
The next day, at the coffee shop.
As soon as Xia Ruirui arrived at the coffee shop, she saw the matchmaker and the man had arrived.
Although she knew she was not late, she still took two quick steps out of courtesy.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
The man had his back to her and the introducer was sitting opposite him, so Xia Ruirui could only see the back of his head.
Until she sat down opposite him and saw his face, her expression froze instantly.
However, Zhang Ye on the opposite side's eyes lit up when he saw her.
"It's you, Xia Ruirui. Long time no see."
When the introducer saw that they knew each other, the smile on his face became extremely ambiguous: "So you two know each other, this is fate."
"How did you two young people know each other?"
Zhang Ye: "Classmate."
Xia Ruirui: "Just an alumnus."
Two voices sounded at the same time, but their tones and attitudes were different, one was enthusiastic and the other was intimate.
The introducer was also experienced and quickly moved past the topic.
"Since you all know each other, I, an old woman, won't be a light bulb anymore. You young people can have a good chat." After saying that, she picked up her bag again, stood up and left.
Zhang Ye didn't stop her and waved at her: "Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
After the matchmaker left, Xia Ruirui looked at her blind date opposite her without saying a word.
Zhang Ye on the opposite side was extremely enthusiastic: "I haven't seen the class beauty for so many years, but she is still as beautiful as ever."
While speaking, he kept looking up and down at Xia Ruirui opposite him, his eyes somewhat blunt.
Looking at his fixed gaze, Xia Ruirui subconsciously felt physically uncomfortable.
She stood up without saying a word and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Ye who saw through her intention.
He grabbed Xia Ruirui's wrist and couldn't help but squeeze it.
Xia Ruirui couldn't dodge in time, and couldn't hold back the disgust in her heart, so she picked up the coffee beside her and poured it over his head.
"Don't make me tell the introducer about the shit you did."
The warning in her words was obvious, but Zhang Ye looked like a gangster.
He reached out to wipe the coffee off his face and deliberately moved very close to her.
Xia Ruirui couldn't hold it in any longer, and clamped his jaw with her right hand, squeezing every word out from her lips.
"You stalked me in college. If you keep pestering me..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhang Ye opposite her: "Do you have any evidence?"
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Ye's expression became even more arrogant and presumptuous.
Xia Ruirui was amazed by his shamelessness. She didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and just walked around him and left the cafe.
However, not long after she left the cafe, she felt as if someone was following her.
She looked back calmly and saw Zhang Ye's dodging and wretched figure on the glass door across the street.
Xia Ruirui snorted in her heart and had already thought of a countermeasure.
She pretended not to notice anything and returned to the hotel in front of him.
Seeing that Zhang Ye still wanted to follow her into the hotel, Xia Ruirui informed the waiter downstairs before him.
She said that Zhang Ye was following her outside and asked them to be more careful.
Zhang Ye already looked a bit wretched, and Xia Ruirui's face was extremely convincing.
He was stopped at the hotel entrance, and looked unwillingly at Xia Ruirui as she got on the elevator and went upstairs, his eyes vicious.
But she looked at him fearlessly, with undisguised contempt in her eyes.
When she returned to the hotel, she received a call from Shen Qingli.
When they were in Yunjin, they learned that Xia Ruirui would leave Yunjin the next day, so she and Gu Zijin did not go to Yunjin anymore and took a direct bus to Linzhen.
As a result, he just missed Xia Ruirui who was coming to Xijing by bus.
When they learned that Xia Ruirui had come to Xijing, they followed her.
However, because there was only one train to that small town a day, they arrived one day later than Xia Ruirui.
Noticing that something was wrong with her friend's eyes, Shen Qingli asked another question.
Because the matter was too outrageous, Xia Ruirui told her that she was being stalked by a perverted man.
She also complained to her that the pervert was her college classmate.
When Shen Qingli heard the word "stalker", her face was filled with anger, and Gu Zijin's eyes flashed beside her.
He remembered that when Shen Yuqing went to Xia Ruirui's school, the man he beat up seemed to be a stalker.
However, he had never seen that perverted man, so he didn't know if the one Xia Ruirui was talking about was the same person.
But just in case, he still sent a message to Shen Yuqing and informed him of this matter.
However, there was no response from the other party.
On the phone, Shen Qingli was already challenging Xia Ruirui to a fight, saying that she would go and teach that pervert a lesson for her tomorrow.
Of course, Gu Zijin would not let the two girls face this matter on their own.
He has also made preparations. If Shen Yuqing does not show up, he will handle this matter for Xia Ruirui tomorrow.
On the other side, Xia Ruirui came out of the hotel alone at night and planned to buy some food on the street across the street.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she turned a corner, she saw Zhang Ye following behind her.
Seeing that he had not left and was still following her, Xia Ruirui was a little surprised but not afraid.
She practiced Sanda when she was a child. Although she is not very good, she can definitely fight with masters.
As for Zhang Ye, who was as thin as a chicken, that was naturally no problem for him.
When I was a freshman in college, this chicken would bother me several times.
He even followed her to the dormitory. Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Xia Ruirui was ready to resolve the issue with force.
During that time, she had made up her mind that if he followed her again, she would lead him to a blind spot where the surveillance was blind and give him a good beating to vent her anger.
After all, he followed her first, so he wouldn't dare to expose her.
But what Xia Ruirui didn't expect was that Zhang Ye stopped following her after a week.
Although she didn't know why, she was happy that it could save her a lot of trouble.
I didn't expect that after so many years, he still hasn't changed his bad habits. A dog will always eat shit.
Xia Ruirui took Zhang Ye around the street again and again, and finally found a remote alley.
She just took a quick look and found that the alley was safe because there were no surveillance cameras.
Looking through the reflective glass of the hair salon opposite, Xia Ruirui sneered in her heart as she saw Zhang Ye, who looked unable to control himself and happily followed them.
She pretended not to notice him and walked straight into the alley.
But no one followed her until she reached the end of the alley, and there was still no movement behind her.
Xia Ruirui instantly became alert and glanced back, only to find that Zhang Ye was being beaten by a man in the alley.
The man was dressed in black and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but he seemed to have a grudge against the stalker and his attack was very severe.
Zhang Ye wanted to beg, but because a handkerchief was stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't make a sound.
Xia Ruirui felt strange and took a few steps forward to find out what was going on.
Unexpectedly, when the man saw her coming, he raised his head and looked at her viciously.
“…”
Looking at Shen Yuqing with a fierce look on his face, Xia Ruirui was also a little dumbfounded.
Isn't he in Beiyi now? How could he be in Xijing?
And how did he know she was here?
She was about to ask him, but the next second Shen Yuqing looked at her with a fierce tone as if he wanted to eat her alive.
"Are you stupid? Don't you know someone is following you?"
"You're going into an alley like this so late at night. Don't you know there's no surveillance in this kind of place?"
"Don't walk at night after dark, don't you know?"
“…”
Xia Ruirui didn't say anything. She held her breath and glanced up and down at Shen Yuqing, and found that he was covered in dust.
His breathing was a little unstable, as if he had run. Although the hand that hit Zhang Ye was steady, it was still obvious that he was actually a little out of breath.
Xia Ruirui looked at him, but she didn't look happy at all. Instead, she was a little angry at his self-willed behavior.
She had clearly planned everything secretly, but Shen Yuqing suddenly jumped out of nowhere and now she was blaming her.
And who is stupid?
She originally wanted to give him a good beating, so she led people here, but it was Shen Yuqing herself who interrupted her plan.
Okay? ?
Hearing them talking, Zhang Ye, who was beaten black and blue, got up timidly and realized that they knew each other.
He seemed to be getting excited. He picked up the glasses on the ground and put them on, looking at Xia Ruirui with an arrogant tone.
"I'm going to put both of you in jail. I'm going to make you pay for hitting me."
“…”
What was originally a very simple matter has now become much more complicated. Xia Ruirui felt a throbbing headache when she thought about it.
Not long after, the police arrived and took all three of them to the police station.
Zhang Ye said that Shen Yuqing beat him, and Shen Yuqing did not quibble about anything, as if he agreed.
But I heard Xia Ruirui beside me expressing her regret.
Where did his smug look go?
Isn't he quite good at speaking?
And all the time—'Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know?'
But despite this, she still explained to the police beside her.
It was Zhang Ye who followed her first, and Shen Yuqing was worried that he would hurt her, so she took action.
What she said was logical and objective. They checked the identity information of the two people and saw their previous criminal records.
They all believed Xia Ruirui's words, but Shen Yuqing hit someone first, so they had no choice but to detain him.
They locked Shen Yuqing and Zhang Ye in separate detention rooms, and then told Xia Ruirui to talk softly and get a letter of forgiveness from the other party.
After hearing this, Xia Ruirui actually went to find Zhang Ye and asked him to issue a letter of apology.
However, Zhang Ye took the opportunity to propose that if Xia Ruirui accompanied him once, he would let her boyfriend go.
Xia Ruirui looked at him coldly and said threateningly, "Zhang Ye, you stalked me during college, and that's a criminal record."
"If I tell your company about your criminal record, you won't be able to keep your job."
"But if you are willing to issue a letter of apology, I can give you 20,000 yuan in compensation privately."
Hearing this, Zhang Ye sneered: "Your boyfriend also has a criminal record, and it's not much better than mine."
"Besides, he's a live streamer, right? A big one at that. If I were to tag him online, do you think he'd be condemned by everyone, too?"
"But if you accompany me once, I will consider letting him go this time, otherwise I will ruin his reputation."
"Look at me and him, who have criminal records, what good can come of this?"
Noticing the loophole in his words, Xia Ruirui calmed down, thinking he was talking nonsense: "What is Shen Yuqing's criminal record?"
Although she and Shen Yuqing had not seen each other for nearly ten years, he was definitely not a criminal. Xia Ruirui was very sure of this and was willing to vouch for him.
Zhang Ye sneered when he heard this, thinking she was playing dumb.
"What? Don't tell me you don't remember your boyfriend beating me six years ago."
"He paid me 50,000 yuan in compensation at the time."
Shen Yuqing beat Zhang Ye six years ago?
They clearly didn't know each other, Zhang Ye couldn't even pronounce Shen Yuqing's name, so what grudge was there between them?
The only thing that happened between the two of them was her.
Xia Ruirui also reacted and thought carefully about her freshman year.
At that time, she had just enrolled in the school, but she was pestered by Zhang Ye, who was in the same major as her and insisted on dating her.
She refused straightforwardly, but Zhang Ye thought she was looking down on him.
According to him, he felt that Xia Ruirui was playing hard to get, so he followed her for several days.
Xia Ruirui's roommate on the upper bunk couldn't stand it anymore and posted the whole process of Zhang Ye harassing her on the confession wall of Beiyi University.
For a moment, everyone was condemning Zhang Ye.
However, Zhang Ye was still following her without hesitation.
But no one knows what happened afterwards. About a week later, Zhang Ye never showed up again. Even in professional classes, he never spoke to Xia Ruirui.
Xia Ruirui thought that everyone's condemnation had worked.
But judging from this incident, it seemed like Shen Yuqing did something behind the scenes, which prevented Zhang Ye from following her again.
So, has Shen Yuqing been paying attention to her all along?
He actually did so many things without her knowing.
He never let her go.
Xia Ruirui was secretly delighted at first, but after she smoothed it out, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her fingers behind her couldn't help but clench.
She felt so sorry for Shen Yuqing that she suddenly didn't want to forgive him anymore. She tore up the letter of forgiveness in front of Zhang Ye.
“We’re not reconciled.”
Shen Yuqing refused to bow his head despite such great pressure. If she bowed her head, wouldn't it be a disservice to Shen Yuqing for all the things he had done silently?
She looked at Zhang Ye and said coldly, "I have been keeping the evidence of you following me. I will send it to your company's email address after I have sorted it out."
Zhang Ye was defeated when he heard this. He didn't expect that after so many years, Xia Ruirui still kept those things.
Seeing that she ignored him, he kicked the bars of the detention room like crazy. Only when the police came did he calm down...
