After shaking her head to dismiss those timid thoughts, Shang Yunmiao rallied.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, she prepared to confront the other party directly.
Fake Chen Bing (Shang Yunmiao): When you came here, did you see the pretty girl next to me?
Tranquil Heart: Hmm, I saw it. What's wrong?
Shang Yunmiao felt looked down upon. She thought to herself, "Since you saw it, how come you said it without batting an eye? Didn't you see my subtext?"
Fake Chen Bing (Shang Yunmiao): It's that girl who was hugging my arm and leaning against me! Are you sure you saw her?
Tranquil Heart: I saw her, right? She's the girl with the red scarf, isn't she?
No, the point isn't what color scarf I was wearing, but that I was holding Chen Bing's arm so intimately, didn't you notice?
Shang Yunmiao decided to give the other party more hints.
Fake Chen Bing (Shang Yunmiao): Yes, that girl who's very close to me. You... should know about our relationship, right?
She spoke out—for the first time in her life, Shang Yunmiao had spoken out. Although she hinted at it in a very subtle way, she did mean it—that she and Chen Bing were in a romantic relationship.
However, whether the other party was pretending to be stupid or just being oblivious, they replied very calmly.
A peaceful heart: Of course I know, it must be a very close relationship.
Even if Shang Yunmiao were stupid, she should have sensed something was wrong. If she ruled out the possibility that the other party simply liked guys with girlfriends or was looking for excitement—a possibility she wouldn't even dare to imagine—then there was only one truth left.
After regaining the upper hand with her intelligence, Shang Yunmiao posed a thought-provoking question.
Pseudo-Chen Bing (Shang Yunmiao): What kind of intimate relationship are you referring to?
A peaceful heart: Cousins, right? I've heard people say that.
After seeing this reply, Shang Yunmiao remained silent for a long time. Finally, perhaps out of a sense of pent-up anger, or perhaps out of resentment, Shang Yunmiao acted impulsively again and replied directly.
Fake (Chen Bing) Shang Yunmiao: She is my girlfriend.
The other party was clearly taken aback for a moment, then struggled again. The small text "The other party is typing" appeared repeatedly several times.
Noticing this small detail, Shang Yunmiao felt a surge of joy for some reason. To put it bluntly, she was secretly pleased.
Ultimately, amidst Shang Yunmiao's joy and the other party's surprise, a line of text that looked strange even through the screen appeared on the chat page.
A Tranquil Heart: Hahaha, senior, you're so funny! Are you joking again? I don't believe you! ^_^
"You've got it wrong, she is my girlfriend. I do have a cousin at school, but she's in the first year of junior high. You're probably trying to get me into a relationship with her..." Xiao Shang read what she was going to write while tapping on her phone screen.
When she got to this part, she suddenly realized that she had used the wrong title, so she quickly changed "I" and typed out the rest of the message before sending it to the other person.
Fake Chen Bing (Shang Yunmiao): You've got it wrong, she is my girlfriend. I do have a cousin at school, but she's in the first year of junior high. You've probably confused the two of them, that's about it.
These cold and heartless words were spoken by Shang Yunmiao while she harbored a passionate heart. She was in a very good mood at the moment, feeling as if she had been exonerated.
Huh? My name has been cleared. Was I wrongly accused? Although I was mistaken for Chen Bing's cousin, I don't think I'm his girlfriend...
Such a thought briefly crossed Shang Yunmiao's mind, but was quickly overshadowed by her joy and vanished without a trace.
Ning Jing seemed to still feel resentful, and she asked a series of questions, but Shang Yunmiao silenced her with clear and unambiguous evidence.
The two engaged in an hour-long debate about the relationship between Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao.
The long and intense debate did not make Shang Yunmiao dizzy. On the contrary, she became more and more excited as she argued, and all sorts of arguments came out one after another, such as how close she was to Chen Bing, how long she had known Chen Bing, and how most of the classmates knew about it. She told the other party to just ask around and find out that what she said was true.
It's a complete mess anyway.
Ultimately, the debate ended with Ning Jing silently deleting her QQ account.
After repeatedly reviewing her battle records, Shang Yunmiao turned off her phone with satisfaction, embraced her victory, and fell into a sweet sleep.
Nothing was said that night.
...
The next morning, when Xiao Shang woke up from a comfortable dream, she suddenly realized that she had done something extraordinary.
After blushing and going through last night's chat history again and again, Shang Yunmiao's face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
What...what is all this?! Did I really write this?!
Shang Yunmiao tossed her phone aside, then buried her head in the pillow, her slender, fair legs swaying involuntarily.
No, however. Shang Yunmiao came to her senses and thought for a moment.
The person who said these words was Chen Bing, what does it have to do with me, Shang Yunmiao? As a well-behaved child, the moment this thought crossed her mind, Shang Yunmiao couldn't help but condemn herself for slandering Chen Bing like that.
No, no, no, how can this be called slander? I was just telling the truth.
Is that the truth...?
Shang Yunmiao suddenly realized, were all those things she said last night really the truth? Could all those ambiguous behaviors between her and Chen Bing, whether it was holding hands or kissing, just be a misunderstanding on her part?
The girl was struck dumb at this thought. She stood there for a moment, then questioned herself in her heart: was it possible that Chen Bing didn't actually have the same bad feelings for her as she did for Chen Bing?
Actually, it was all just wishful thinking on my part. The other person might really only see me as a younger sister. Otherwise, why would Ning Jing have such a misunderstanding?
No, no, Chen Bing definitely likes me. My cousin can vouch for it; she even said she'd help me…
Perhaps this point wasn't very convincing, and the more Shang Yunmiao thought about it, the less confident she became about the issue. After all, she hadn't directly heard Chen Bing say anything like "like."
Holding hands, taking a walk together, kissing, etc., can be interpreted as behavior towards the younger sister, which seems reasonable.
The girl eventually came to her senses from these doubts. She put them aside for the time being and began to think about her initial worry: how to deal with her boasting.
Although the conversation was only between Ning Jing and herself, what if the other person casually told others about it, and it eventually reached Chen Bing's ears?
This vividly illustrates the complex and contradictory psychology of teenage girls when facing love.
Shang Yunmiao was just wondering what kind of feelings Chen Bing had for her, but in the blink of an eye, she became afraid that he would find out her feelings.
Returning to the worried girl, just as Shang Yunmiao was lying on the bed deep in thought, her bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside...
