Chapter 53 Escape
"Li Qianni, Shi Jin is a good man and he likes you very much. You shouldn't pretend to be an innocent little flower in front of him to deceive him. If he knew that you had so many boyfriends before and almost became an unwed mother, do you think Shi Jin would still like you?"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Li Qianni immediately glanced around nervously, afraid of being overheard.
She threatened in a high-pitched voice, "Bai Zhenzhu, you're not allowed to talk about these things again! If you do, I'll get my dad to teach your father a lesson! And your beloved brother, I heard he's currently applying for a professional title. If anything goes wrong during this time, your brother might only ever be a lowly attending physician for the rest of his life!"
"Li Qianni, what else can you do besides threatening me? You've bullied me since we were little, and I've tolerated it all. But this time you're going to hurt my brother. I will absolutely not tolerate it anymore!"
"So what? How are you going to stop tolerating this?"
"I, I..."
"Hehe, Bai Zhenzhu, you're really naive. Do you really think you can beat me? Also, let me tell you clearly, I'm going to confess to Shi Jin soon. I'm going to make Shi Jin my boyfriend, Li Qianni's boyfriend, and I'm going to be the rightful young mistress of the Shi family!"
Having achieved her goal, Bai Zhenzhu smiled smugly and easily.
Then, in a nonchalant tone, he said, "Alright, I wish you a speedy rise to become the young mistress of the Shi family."
Li Qianni looked at Bai Zhenzhu's sudden change in attitude with suspicion, feeling that she was up to no good.
"White Pearl, what are you plotting now?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to wish you well~"
Later, Li Qianni was called away by Ren Xuening.
Bai Zhenzhu then closed the door. In a very good mood, she slowly walked towards the bathroom.
She knocked on the bathroom door and asked, feigning concern, "Shi Jin, are you alright?"
After waiting for a long time, Shi Jin finally came out.
He looked like he had washed his face; the stray hairs on his forehead were still wet.
He looked a bit lonely and down on his luck.
"Shi Jin, did you hear everything?"
To Bai Zhenzhu's surprise, Shi Jin did not show anger at being deceived; instead, he laughed.
"Shi Jin? What's wrong with you? Are you so angry that you've gone mad?"
"White Pearl, do you think I'll believe you just because you say a few suggestive things? I know Qianni better than you do what kind of person she is."
"What did you say? Didn't you hear me? Do you want me to repeat it to you?"
"I heard everything."
"and you……"
I don't believe a word of it.
So you can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep; Shi Jin just fell into a deep sleep!
After Shi Jin left, Bai Zhenzhu thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't figure it out.
Finally, a conclusion was drawn: Shi Jin must have been bewitched by Li Qianni, which is why he was so unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Actually, that's not the case. Shi Jin isn't stupid; he has his own judgment.
He heard everything, and while he didn't believe everything, he believed most of it.
Half anger, half disappointment.
The reason he didn't reveal anything in front of Bai Zhenzhu was that he didn't want to please Bai Zhenzhu and make a fool of himself in front of her, and he didn't want to admit that he had misjudged people.
As for Li Qianni, he should seriously consider it.
Should his love, his obsession, his loyalty be gambled on a woman with such a deep cunning?
So for the next period of time, he deliberately avoided Li Qianni's concern, allowing himself to clear his mind and find the best balance.
Li Qianni was almost internally injured by Shi Jin's coldness these days.
He doesn't reply to WeChat messages, doesn't answer phone calls, and avoids me when I go to the school to look for him.
What's wrong with Shi Jin?
Bai Zhenzhu quietly observed Li Qianni's changes and finally smiled broadly.
It turns out that Shi Jin wasn't indifferent to everything after all.
He's just pretending.
So he took out his phone and sent Shi Jin a WeChat message to test him.
[Shi Jin, Li Qianni seemed to be crying just now. I wonder if it was because of you?]
This WeChat message seemed to have sunk without a trace, leaving no response whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Li Qianni's side was eerily quiet.
She knew that there was still a conflict between Shi Jin and Li Qianni.
Things are quietly developing in the direction she wants.
She was very satisfied.
...
Because of Shi Jin's disappearance.
Li Qianni lived in constant fear; she could no longer sit idly by and wait for her fate.
According to Ren Xuening, she had to take the initiative and confess her feelings to Shi Jin.
Otherwise, she might never have another chance.
So Li Qianni had no choice but to find Qin Shen and ask him to do her a favor.
"What happened between you and Young Master Shi? Why do you need me to help you find him?"
"We...we're fine..."
"But Shi Shao has been in a bad mood lately. He's stopped playing basketball and games. It must be that you two had a fight. If you ask me, you should apologize to Shi Shao. After all, he's a man and he has his pride."
She would very much like to apologize if an apology were helpful.
The key issue now is that she doesn't know why Shi Jin is distancing himself from her.
Later, Qin Shen still helped Li Qianni arrange to meet Shi Jin.
We arranged to meet in the grove of trees near Kyoto University.
Li Qianni wore the white dress she wore when they first met, with an oversized denim jacket over it, and her hair was styled in a side braid with light makeup.
It has that feeling of first love, the white moonlight.
Shi Jin hesitated for a long time about whether he should come, but he also felt that there was no solution to keep running away from some things.
Besides, it's not safe for Li Qianni, a girl, to wait alone in the woods.
After much thought, I decided to come.
He saw Li Qianni's big, watery eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering. Although the light was dim, he could still see her rosy cheeks, and she looked as innocent and beautiful as when they first met.
But he knew that some things were still different.
For example, his feelings for her no longer made his heart race as they did when they first met; instead, they calmed down.
That fluttering feeling was quietly soothed away without anyone noticing.
"Shi Jin, you've finally arrived!"
Li Qianni was so excited she almost cried; she thought he wasn't coming.
She immediately rushed forward, wanting to throw herself into Shi Jin's arms.
But Shi Jin skillfully avoided her, maintaining a safe distance.
In that instant, Li Qianni's heart felt like it was being tightly gripped, each breath carrying a sharp pain, as if even the air itself was filled with shards of glass.
"Shi Jin, do you... hate me that much?"
