"Haven't we just been waiting for the right opportunity? I'll find a suitable time to talk to her in a few days. After all, we're from the same place, and she's a bit shy."
"If I wait until I tell her the truth, she won't bother me anymore," Sun Jie awkwardly explained. Actually, he was still a little reluctant to let Zhou Meiling go. Otherwise, he would have confronted her long ago.
If things really come to a head with Liu Yanjiao, there will be no turning back.
She shoved the lunchbox into his arms and walked toward Zhou Meiling.
Upon seeing this, Sun Jie quickly followed. He couldn't shout, so he could only watch as the person walked past.
Seeing the adulterous couple approaching, Zhou Meiling didn't leave but waited where she was.
Liu Yanjiao walked to her seat and stopped, looking her up and down: "She is quite good-looking, no wonder she was so reluctant to part with her."
"Yanjiao, what are you doing?" Sun Jie stepped forward and tugged at her sleeve.
Liu Yanjiao swung her arm: "We need to get to the bottom of this today. Should I tell you or do it myself?"
Unexpectedly forced into this situation, Sun Jie looked at his former lover and thought of the beautiful times they once shared, but he couldn't utter a word.
Looking around, Liu Yanjiao was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
Zhou Meiling then spoke up: "My relationship with Sun Jie ended a long time ago. It's just that he still owes me some money and hasn't paid me back yet."
Can you help him pay it back?
Liu Yanjiao: ...
This was different from what she had imagined. The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss; she just asked her for money.
There was no emotion in his eyes; he looked at them as if they were strangers.
How much money does he owe you?
“289 yuan. Let’s not count the money from before, since I haven’t kept a record of it. This money is for his tuition at the beginning of the semester, and also for the meals I gave him. Will you pay it back for him?” Zhou Meiling’s only concern was the money; once she had given it, she wanted it back.
He's just a jerk, she doesn't care.
"I don't have that much money on me." Liu Yanjiao hadn't expected to owe so much. She only took out one hundred yuan from her pocket and left it for today's meal. She handed over the rest of the money.
"Take this money first, and I'll give you the rest tomorrow."
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that." Zhou Meiling reached out to take the money.
Sun Jie lost his composure and wanted to snatch it.
Zhou Meiling took the money first: "What do you want to do? This money should rightfully be returned to me."
"Our money didn't grow on trees. Paying back debts is a matter of course. Are you trying to renege on your debt?"
Sun Jie clenched his fist: "How could you do this to me? I have such deep feelings for you."
The expression on his face was as if he were the one who had been abandoned.
Zhou Meiling laughed: "You're quite interesting. Why do you get to borrow money and not have to pay it back?"
Sun Jie pressed on, unwilling to accept it: "So many years of friendship, gone so quickly?"
"When you chose to be with her, didn't you already make your choice? Now you're asking me, how despicable are you?" Zhou Meiling was incredibly grateful that nothing had happened between them, not even a kiss. Otherwise, she would have felt disgusted for a long time.
Sun Jie couldn't bear such a blow. He had never been so disgraced before, with the pointing fingers and whispers of the students around him.
Zhou Meiling put the recovered money into her pocket, feeling quite pleased with herself. She had initially thought the money was gone for good, but this unexpected windfall had come her way.
