Chapter 20 Stubborn to the end
As for Zhang Yunqing's feelings, she no longer cared.
No matter how strong Yang Lewei is, she can't beat a grown man.
Xie Yanning and Su Wanwan helped them walk outside.
Cheng Xue and Qi Jun breathed a sigh of relief; they really couldn't appease Yang Lewei, this troublesome woman.
Xue Shi'an, who was originally withdrawn, saw Xie Yanning following up and chased after him unwillingly, asking, "No, is it appropriate for you two to leave me behind? You don't need to give me an explanation. I'm all grown up, I'm grown up everywhere."
All that was left for him was a cold, indifferent back view.
"There's no love left." Xue Shi'an slumped down.
Chao Sheng stroked his chin, a hint of interest in his eyes: "Is there some secret you're not telling me?"
The groom, Xi Kangwen, who had just returned from the restroom, took a few careful glances. As he turned the corner, he saw Su Wanwan's profile and asked in confusion, "Is that Su Wanwan?"
"Zhang Yunqing, is that Su Wanwan?" Unsure of the situation, Xi Kangwen sought help from allies.
Upon hearing this, Xue Shi'an and Huang Sheng both perked up.
"You know him?"
They were all university classmates, but Xi Kangwen, Zhang Yunqing, and Xie Yanning were also high school classmates.
The number of women around Xie Yanning could be counted on one hand.
I never expected to hear any gossip from my childhood; I thought he was always a lonely monk.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on here!"
Xi Kangwen scratched his head. "Shouldn't they be considered ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend?" He wasn't too sure either, since Xie Yanning and Su Wanwan had never officially acknowledged it.
They're not blind, though.
The ambiguous relationship between these two is unmistakably tainted.
But later, for reasons unknown, Su Wanwan cut off all contact and never appeared again.
They didn't dare ask Xie Yanning for clarification.
I never imagined that we would meet again after so many years.
He stroked his chin and concluded, "Could they be getting back together?"
Zhang Yunqing watched the farce unfold, sitting silently to one side.
It's Su Wanwan again! Why is she always haunting us?!
Why can they only see Su Wanwan and not her? She and Xie Yanning have been friends for so many years!
Today, Zhang Yunqing is no longer afraid of letting the two of them know the truth about what happened back then. Anyway, the worst that can happen is that Xie Yanning will ignore her.
If I'm destined not to have him, then what does it matter?
She also knew that, given Su Wanwan's pride, she would never ask Xie Yanning about what happened back then.
Huang Sheng was more perceptive, and he had long since noticed Zhang Yunqing's hidden intentions.
It's also a bit of a pity.
What's the point of hanging yourself on Xie Yanning's tree?
"Alright, alright, stop talking," Chao Sheng interrupted. "Why are you being so gossipy, you grown man?"
Xue Shi'an rolled his eyes at him, "You talk as if you weren't the one gossiping just now."
On the way to Yang Lewei's room, she could put on a whole show all by herself.
Cheng Xue and Qi Yun didn't recognize Xie Yanning either, so they kept quiet and made their way upstairs to their room.
Cheng Xue and Qi Yun escorted the person into the room.
Outside the door, Su Wanwan thanked Xie Yanning.
"Thank you so much for your help today," Su Wanwan said.
From morning till night, she had almost completely lost face. Su Wanwan was so numb that her heart was as still as water, and even the smile in Xie Yanning's eyes could not stir her in the slightest.
Laugh it off, and you'll forget about it as you laugh.
"Are you sending me away so quickly because you want to go back to your room to meet the male model?" Xie Yanning asked.
"..." That's really bringing up the very thing I shouldn't have said.
Su Wanwan restrained herself, "In that case, Professor Xie is really tactless, disturbing my enjoyment of the night."
Even though he knew Su Wanwan was joking, Xie Yanning still couldn't help but imagine the scene when Su Wanwan said that.
Then, the scene successfully made him frown.
“I think,” Xie Yanning said, “you should get some rest.”
"Yes, Professor Xie, you should go back too, so that no one will worry about you."
Thinking of the people in the bar, Xie Yanning felt a rare headache coming on; he already knew how gossipy they would be.
After thinking for two seconds, I thought, "I think I'll go back and rest too."
Su Wanwan, who was about to turn around and leave: ? ? ?
Is it really a good idea to leave your girlfriend at a bar?
"Don't you need to go back?" Su Wanwan asked with difficulty.
"Why should I go back?" Xie Yanning said, "They are all adults and can take care of themselves, and—" He changed the subject, "They shouldn't be that drunk." His words were loaded with meaning.
"..." Okay, she didn't ask any more questions.
At the same time, my sympathy for Zhang Yunqing grew even stronger.
He can leave his girlfriend alone in a bar, I admire him.
Xie Yanning went back to her room and turned on her phone. In their small group chat, there were already quite a few messages, all asking about her whereabouts.
Gossiping is a human instinct.
Xie Yanning decided to ignore it and said in the small group, "Good night, I'm going back to rest now," and then ignored everyone's teasing.
Chao Sheng: [No, you're not coming back?]
Xue Shi'an: [Xie Yanning, you're not human! Leave us here!]
Xi Kangwen: [Haha, everyone should get some rest too, we'll be busy tomorrow.]
Xue Shi'an was a little bored that Xie Yanning wasn't coming back.
"Forget it, it's not fun, I'm going back too."
As the groom, Xi Kangwen shouldn't stay out too late, so he prepared to go home as well.
He looked at Chao Sheng and Zhang Yunqing, "Are you going back?"
Zhang Yunqing didn't look up or speak, silently looking at the group chat messages.
Chao Sheng glanced at Zhang Yunqing and said, "We'll be going back later too."
"Alright, don't stay out too late, we'll head back now." With that, she and Xue Shi'an went back together.
Zhang Yunqing put down her phone, picked up the wine on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
She understood that as long as Su Wanwan came back, even if she had another eight years, she would not be able to get Xie Yanning.
Chao Sheng frowned. "Don't drink so much."
Zhang Yunqing looked at Chao Sheng, whose face was flushed from the wine and whose eyes were slightly drunk. She leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you pitying me?"
"Perhaps you could also look at the people around you." Chao Sheng's eyes were fixed on Zhang Yunqing for the first time.
When Zhang Yunqing first revealed her feelings, Xie Yanning said that it was impossible for them to be together.
Zhang Yunqing understood Xie Yanning's meaning: if she still harbored other intentions, then they couldn't even be friends.
From then on, Zhang Yunqing kept her thoughts very hidden, and almost no one could see them. In fact, in order to dispel Xie Yanning's concerns, she dated several boyfriends, broke up with them, and dated again.
She thought she could slowly boil the frog in water, and if she didn't meet the right person again, would Xie Yanning ever look back at her?
As she saw it, once Su Wanwan returned, Xie Yanning's attention was entirely focused on her.
Xie Yanning pretended not to see her admiration, or perhaps he simply hadn't noticed it at all.
She was truly unwilling to accept it.
"Then why can't it be him looking at me!" Zhang Yunqing lost her usual composure and became somewhat hysterical.
“You understand, someone like Xie Yanning is impossible if he says it’s impossible. Why are you still so stubborn? You and him are impossible!” Chao Sheng rarely spoke harshly.
"And what about you?" Zhang Yunqing countered, "Why are you still so stubbornly clinging to your delusions?"
Chao Sheng was speechless.
He picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.
Yes, they are all the same kind of people.
Stubborn to the point of being obsessed.
