Chapter 91 Beautiful and Materialistic School Beauty—Jealousy and Resentment
On the last day after the exam, Xu Shuangshuang finally couldn't contain her frustration and sent a message on WeChat.
Jiang Chen, let's go back to Suzhou together.
The message was sent, and Xu Shuangshuang stared at her phone. There was no reply for a long time, until she lost all hope.
Just as Xu Shuangshuang was about to make the call, Jiang Chen suddenly replied to her message.
Sorry, I plan to work part-time and start my own business here during the winter break. Please go home by yourself and be careful on the road.
As expected, Xu Shuangshuang looked up with tears in her eyes and continued texting: "Let's meet before we go back."
Jiang Chen: [I've been very busy lately and haven't been able to find the time.]
Upon seeing this sentence, the anger she had been suppressing finally erupted, and she began pounding her phone screen repeatedly.
[Jiang Chen, I know you're deliberately avoiding me. I just want to ask you one question: do you remember what we said at the hotel that night?]
Upon seeing this message, Jiang Chen on the other end frowned deeply, unsure how to respond.
Xu Shuangshuang stared intently at her phone screen as if punishing herself, waiting for Jiang Chen's reply.
"I remember," Jiang Chen replied with two words, without saying anything more.
Xu Shuangshuang felt as if she had punched cotton; her bitterness was not relieved at all. Was a simple "I remember" all it took?
So what exactly is our relationship now? Why haven't you been seeing me?
Jiang Chen pondered for a long time before typing out the text, word by word:
Shuangshuang, I apologize for my impulsiveness that night. We both need time to adapt to the changes in the external environment. You know, ever since high school, I've been determined to start my own business, to prove myself and my mother. Right now, all I want to do is start my own business, and I don't want to bring this pressure to you anymore.
Shuangshuang, wait for me.
Without a direct answer to her question, an apology, a series of ambiguous words, and the final "Wait for me," these words only made Xu Shuangshuang feel suffocated.
Even a simple "I still love you" or "We're boyfriend and girlfriend" wouldn't have made Xu Shuangshuang so upset.
How long can I wait? Is it okay if I date someone else?
Jiang Chen: [Shuangshuang, stop fooling around.]
"Heh, making a fuss?" Xu Shuangshuang didn't reply to the message. Her usually timid gaze became complicated at this moment.

After the final exams, students gradually left the school.
Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, seemingly celebrating the upcoming holiday for students, but this was tough on the students who needed to travel.
Xiao Yanzhi drove to pick up Yaoyao today. Since Yaoyao has temporarily moved to the neighborhood, he packed two suitcases full of things she would need for the next two months.
Her newly purchased guzheng was placed directly in Xiao Yanzhi's study, and she would practice playing it whenever she had free time.
Because of the snow, Xiao Yanzhi held an umbrella in one hand and pulled a suitcase with the other, while Yao Yao pulled another one.
Xiao Yanzhi originally planned to send a suitcase over himself first, and then come back to pick up Yaoyao. It was cold, and he couldn't bear to let Yaoyao do it herself.
"Let's go, it's okay. It'll be warm in the car, no need to run back and forth."
Yao Yao made the final decision; her boyfriend felt sorry for her, and she felt sorry for her boyfriend too.
The large umbrella completely covered the two of them, and the slender girl pulling the suitcase put on Xiao Yanzhi's fur gloves.
The two chatted and laughed all the way.
"Ayan, snow and hot pot go perfectly together! I'll treat you to hot pot today!"
"Thank you to my beautiful and generous girlfriend for treating us. We'll drop the food off at the apartment complex later and then drive to eat."
"Hehe~ Aren't you lucky to have me as your girlfriend!"
"I'm so happy! Being with you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me!"
"Sweet talk~"
"No, it's the truth from the bottom of my heart!"
"Ah... I have to get up early for my training class tomorrow~ I want to sleep in."
“Baby, how about… you stop teaching pipa and become my secretary? I guarantee you can sleep in every day.”
"I don't want to go to your place! I don't care, you have to get up early tomorrow to take me!"
"Yes, baby! Don't worry, I'll make breakfast in the morning and then wake you up. I'll make sure to get you to your destination safely. I'm used to doing this."
"Hehe~" Yao Yao chuckled shyly, it seemed that it was really true, this routine was performed almost every day.
Before, when she slept in the dormitory, Xiao Yanzhi would call her to wake her up in the morning, so she didn't even need to set an alarm clock!
Her boyfriend is such a gem!
"Ah! Someone's here!" Yao Yao said shyly, then angrily slapped Xiao Yanzhi.
Xiao Yanzhi successfully stole a kiss, and even when he was slapped, he laughed happily.
"Sweetie, the umbrella is blocking the view, you can't see it."
"That won't do! Can't you just hold it in!"
"I can bear it, baby, but you were just so cute!"
"Hmph, so glib..."
"Baby, are you cold?"
"It's not cold, it's not cold, don't worry about it!"
"Baby, are you annoyed that I'm being long-winded?"
"Hmph~ Disdainful. Shut up! You've asked me at least ten times since I left the dorm, 'Am I cold?'"
"I'll try to ask nine times next time."
"Ugh~"
The two were so engrossed in their flirting that they didn't notice the girl with the blue umbrella not far away.
The umbrella completely concealed the girl's appearance, but their conversation reached her ears without being missed.
Xu Shuangshuang smiled bitterly under the umbrella. She was like a voyeur, eavesdropping on the two people's conversation. She didn't want to leave, as if she were torturing herself by watching other people's happiness.
She felt like a complete failure. Some people disdain their boyfriends' concern, but she kept praying that her uncertain boyfriend would send her some care.
It's snowing today, but Jiang Chen hasn't been able to send her a single message. It really shows how different people are.
She never imagined that one day, the things Yu Yao disliked would become what she longed for.
Xu Shuangshuang walked to a corner and watched as Yu Yao and her boyfriend arrived at the parking lot.
Under the man's care, Yu Yao sat in the passenger seat first, while the man went to the trunk alone with an umbrella, where he both held the umbrella and put the luggage in.
Finally, the man put down the trunk with satisfaction, smiled, and opened the driver's side door to get in.
Xu Shuangshuang couldn't see what was happening inside the car, but the car didn't drive away immediately. Instead, it waited for almost ten minutes. It was obvious what the couple could be doing inside.
Xu Shuangshuang was filled with bitterness and didn't know how to vent it. Her jealousy and resentment reached their peak. For some reason, she really disliked Yu Yao. She had disliked her from the very beginning.
Watching the car leave, Xu Shuangshuang, alone with her umbrella and heavy luggage, walked towards the school gate.
She got into a taxi and looked out the window at the falling snowflakes, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
