Chapter 51 A fight breaks out: Who is her boyfriend...?
"What a pity," Qin sighed, "I was hoping to invite you out for dinner during the New Year."
“There will be other opportunities in the future,” said Yu’s mother. “Let’s stop here for today. We’ll take Yu Kui back to rest now.”
"good."
Qin's mother got up and saw the three of them out. Seeing Yu's mother affectionately holding Yu Kui's hand, she felt even more envious.
She picked up her phone and called Qin You, wanting to ask him how he spent his weekend.
To everyone's surprise, Qin You didn't answer the phone; all that could be heard was a busy signal.
Qin's mother put down her phone, looked at the empty living room, and sighed deeply.
During the winter break, Yu Kui went out to play with Sun Shuya several times.
Sun Shuya took her to the arcade to play the claw machine. "Let me tell you," she said, "two boys in my class like me."
Yu Kui's eyes widened. "Really? You're not going to start dating, are you?"
“Of course it’s true,” Sun Shuya said, hands lightly on her hips. “I’m a great beauty. If there weren’t so few boys who study Chinese, even more people would like me, okay?”
“That’s for sure,” Yu Kui immediately gave a thumbs up, “You’re my certified beauty.”
"Haha," Sun Shuya laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, "How funny you are! You've become so mischievous in just three months."
"Do you like them?" Yu Kui asked.
“I don’t like it,” Sun Shuya said coldly. “Although they have fallen deeply in love with me, I am destined to be a beauty they can’t have. Let them grieve in secret.”
Yu Kui: "..."
“But there are a lot of handsome guys at the sports school nearby,” Sun Shuya clicked her tongue, “broad shoulders, long legs, and they can play basketball. I like them a lot.”
Yu Kui: "You have a target?"
“A small goal,” Sun Shuya said mischievously, “maybe I’ll find a boyfriend next semester.”
Yu Kui blinked. "Then you'll have even better friends than me in the future."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are you, and your boyfriend is your boyfriend, not my husband. How could he possibly surpass you?"
Yu Kui: "So, having a husband means you can surpass me?"
Sun Shuya hesitated for a moment, then said weakly, "My husband is definitely different."
Yu Kui: "Let's break up." She turned around, pretending to leave, but Sun Shuya grabbed her and said, "Don't leave me. You're my best friend now. Why get angry over someone who hasn't even appeared yet?"
Yu Kui: "If you go buy me a cup of fruit tea, I won't be angry."
"Okay, okay, wait here for me for a bit," Sun Shuya said as she walked toward the milk tea shop not far away. "Want some toppings?"
"No."
"okk".
After Sun Shuya walked away, Yu Kui turned around and looked at Tao Jiang, who was wearing a short white down jacket, not far away. A very tall boy was with her and was talking to her in a very intimate tone.
"I want this panda, get it for me," Tao Jiang pointed to the claw machine, "If you can't get it, don't come looking for me again."
"Okay, okay," Zhou Xiao looked at her helplessly, "It's just that I didn't have time to reply to your WeChat message yesterday, why are you so angry?"
"Is that you not replying to WeChat messages? You don't care about me at all." Tao Jiang said coldly, "If you really cared about me, you wouldn't treat me like this."
"My dear aunt, haven't I been good to you?" Zhou Xiao looked at her face and said irritably, "To celebrate your birthday, I specially took you to the beach and bought you a bag and a necklace. I spent two months' worth of living expenses."
"What do you mean?" Tao Jiang narrowed her eyes. "You regret bringing me out?"
"How could that be? But please stop being so unreasonable, okay?" Tao Jiang's aggressive attitude made Zhou Xiao very uncomfortable. "I want to date you, not be your puppet. If you want to be with me, stop harping on one thing. I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to be attached to you all the time?"
Tao Jiang's face darkened. She stared into Zhou Xiao's eyes and said in an inscrutable tone, "You didn't treat me like this before."
"The past is the past. Now we're all in college, shouldn't you have some life of your own too?"
Tao Jiang pursed her lips, looking at his angular face, unable to imagine how the boy who used to travel thousands of miles to come back from afar to celebrate her birthday could say such a thing.
Wasn't he the one who listened to her the most before?
“Besides attending classes every day, I also have to learn how to handle family affairs. I even had to take leave today,” Zhou Xiao said in a low voice. “Whatever you want, as long as I can give it to you, I can give it to you. But if you always throw tantrums at me, I won’t indulge you. I don’t have time to waste on arguing with you.”
Zhou Xiao took out the panda plush toy and handed it to Tao Jiang, saying, "We're both adults now, I hope you can understand me."
Tao Jiang looked at the doll, but hesitated to reach out and take it.
Zhou Xiao shrugged. "Miss Tao, what else do you need me to do?"
"That's enough for today." Tao Jiang ignored him and turned to leave.
Zhou Xiao grabbed her hand. "You're determined to make a scene in front of everyone, aren't you?"
“I didn’t cause any trouble,” Tao Jiang said without turning her head. “It’s you who disrespected me.”
Zhou Xiao was almost amused by her. "You really dare to push your luck. Fine, fine, I apologize, okay? I promise I'll reply to your WeChat messages as quickly as possible from now on. Please don't do this anymore."
Tao Jiang then turned around and said, "You said it yourself."
"I said it," Zhou Xiao said without blinking, "Can we just have a proper relationship?"
"Hmm." Tao Jiang knew when to stop. If she pushed him too hard, she would only anger Zhou Xiao. Unlike Qin You, he had a temper deep down.
The two continued playing the claw machine game. Zhou Xiao grabbed Tao Jiang's hand from behind and guided her to grab one of the plush toys.
Yu Kui glanced at the two of them, then turned away nonchalantly, wondering if Qin You knew about the relationship between Tao Jiang and Zhou Xiao. Perhaps he did, and would still compromise for Tao Jiang's sake.
Unfortunately, this time, she was no longer an "obstacle" between them, and they couldn't put all the blame on her.
“Here you go,” Sun Shuya strode over to Yu Kui’s side, “It’s grape flavored, isn’t that nice of you?”
“Okay, let’s go see a movie,” Yu Kui said, pulling her hand as they walked towards the movie theater on the fifth floor. “There’s a new suspense movie showing today.”
"Okay, you're treating."
"OK."
After watching the movie, the two were about to take the elevator when they suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.
"Someone's been assaulted! Call the police! Someone's been assaulted!"
Yu Kui paused, subconsciously looking down, and saw that the hot pot restaurant diagonally below was crowded with people.
"Quickly separate them, the fighting is too fierce!"
"Is it really worth getting so angry over a shameless woman?"
"What are you waiting for! Call the police!"
"..."
"Who's fighting in this hot pot restaurant? That's dangerous!" Sun Shuya asked curiously as she walked downstairs.
"Don't go," Yu Kui pulled on her down jacket hood, "Just call the police for help."
"Just look from the outside," Sun Shuya insisted. "I've never been part of such a lively event before."
Yu Kui asked helplessly, "What if we get accidentally injured?"
“How could I be so unlucky?” Sun Shuya grabbed her hand. “If you’re scared, just wait here for me. I’ll be right back.”
Yu Kui: "..."
Sun Shuya took the elevator down and approached the entrance of the hot pot restaurant. She looked at the two boys fighting and was about to see the "stunning beauty" who had caused the incident when she saw Tao Jiang standing at the other end of the aisle.
Sun Shuya was stunned; she hadn't expected it to be her.
Tao Jiang kept her head down, and Sun Shuya couldn't see the expression on her face, but she could feel her suffocation.
Because one of the people fighting for her was Qin You. He was almost being overwhelmed by the other person, but he refused to admit defeat and kept hitting that person with his head. Even when his forehead was bleeding, he did not back down.
Sun Shuya had never seen such a fearless fighting style before, and she was completely stunned.
"Yu Kui," she said slowly, looking at the girl standing at the elevator entrance, "...Yu Kui, can you come down?"
Yu Kui didn't hear her voice clearly, but she could see her expression. She took the elevator down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sun Shuya pointed to the boy inside the hot pot restaurant, "Do you...recognize who he is?"
Yu Kui followed her arm and saw Qin You, whose face was covered in blood. He was being restrained from behind, but his eyes were filled with anger and ferocity, like a ferocious beast driven to the edge, which was terrifying.
Yu Kui's pupils contracted slightly. "How... is it him?"
Yu Kui hadn't taken Tao Jiang and Zhou Xiao seriously when she first saw them, assuming they would leave soon. Little did she expect that they would be captured by Qin You.
This is quite different from the original storyline. In the original story, although Qin You and Zhou Xiao were rivals in love, they didn't end up like this.
His disheveled yet fierce appearance made Yu Kui feel completely unfamiliar with him.
"Serves them right!" Sun Shuya clicked her tongue twice and sneered, "I knew they wouldn't have a good ending. They really brought it on themselves."
Sun Shuya had seen Tao Jiang and Zhou Xiao together before and thought Qin You would be cuckolded for a long time, but she didn't expect him to realize something was wrong so quickly.
"You dare hit me? Who do you think you are!" Even after being pulled away, Zhou Xiao continued to hurl insults at Qin You. "She's my woman. You coward, you think you can compete with me? Don't you even know if you're worthy?"
Qin You didn't speak, but everyone present could feel his low spirits. He was like a spring that had been compressed to its limit, ready to bounce back at any moment.
Tao Jiang stood not far from him, remaining silent throughout, perhaps unaware that things might go wrong one day.
She told Qin You she was going to stay home today, but secretly went on a date with Zhou Xiao. She never expected to be caught by Qin You.
"Young lady, who is your boyfriend anyway?" someone shouted. "He's gotten himself all bruised and battered for you, you should give me an explanation, right? Otherwise, this fight was for nothing!"
“She’s my girlfriend,” Zhou Xiao said immediately. “Everything she’s wearing, everything she’s wearing on her wrists and around her neck, I bought for her.”
He looked at Qin You defiantly, "We were classmates in junior high school and never lost contact. We got together after we went to college, and we even went to Shanghai for a trip two weeks ago. I am her boyfriend."
