Chapter 54 Li Nian's Independent Side Story - When He Remembered It (Part 3)
If we say from the beginning—
Lu Qingyao could still take Li Nian's words as a simple provocation.
What happened next undoubtedly confirmed her sixth sense as a woman.
Just now, on her way back from touching up her makeup in the bathroom, Lu Qingyao almost ran into her ex-boyfriend.
If she hadn't been familiar with the bar's layout and had her girlfriends help her, the other party would definitely have caught her red-handed.
[I have to go now, sorry, let's talk next time~ Mwah (cute.jpg)]
Okay, be careful and remember to send a message when you arrive.
Looking at Yu Qingzhou's unoriginal reply, Lu Qingyao didn't know whether to praise his thoughtfulness or feel ashamed of his elder-like tone of concern.
I sighed and exited the chat interface.
Missed call notifications started popping up one after another, accompanied by a constant, unsettling vibration.
Almost all of them followed Li Yao—
That is, the "that person" that Li Nian mentioned, wrote a short essay to Lu Qingyao asking to get back together.
【Yaoyao, can we meet? At least answer the phone. We can discuss things further. Continuing to avoid each other like this won't solve anything.】
...
【You know I love you, right, Yao Yao? Just like you wouldn't be completely indifferent to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so angry, would you?】
...
Come back, I'm here waiting for you. Everything will be alright. From now on, I will love you and take even better care of you. We will have a grand wedding, build a warm family, just like we always dreamed of, a lifetime together.
Even though it was just an accidental turn, Lu Qingyao found it offensive.
It's not like God's father was completely oblivious...
There's a limit to narcissism, you know?!
He's clearly cheating on his wife, yet he puts on this act of being all lovey-dovey and righteous.
You've been wrongfully convicted in so many lawsuits, you've become incredibly thick-skinned, haven't you?
I've said it so many times, it's a breakup, no discussion—can't this guy understand a word?!
Or maybe he's just told too many lies, he can even fool himself. Bah! You damned scum, may you be struck by lightning!
While cursing the shameless scumbag in her heart, Lu Qingyao typed furiously on the screen, turning a touchscreen phone into a keypad phone.
But just before sending it, he miraculously calmed down.
That was close... I almost fell for their trap.
Lu Qingyao took a deep breath.
If this were sent in a moment of excitement, wouldn't it confirm the bizarre situation of "lingering feelings" and "unresolved emotions"?
With that in mind, Lu Qingyao decisively deleted the draft and added the other party to her blacklist.
Of course, the most important thing is—
She doesn't seem so angry anymore.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Qingyao finally had time to start thinking.
She was almost certain that this incident was inextricably linked to that bastard Li Nian!
This is clearly a deliberate attempt to disgust me, to get me away from Yu Qingzhou.
—Fine, she won't!
Anyway, Li Nian didn't dare to do anything openly in front of Yu Qingzhou.
As for privately, all they can do is resort to some low-class, underhanded tricks to disgust themselves.
Buzzing.
The sudden vibration of her phone pulled Lu Qingyao back from her thoughts.
Unexpectedly, it was an old classmate I hadn't seen in a long time.
The two had a good relationship when they were in school, and although they went their separate ways after graduation, they would still check in on each other every now and then.
They would also send each other greeting cards and gifts on holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions.
Lu Qingyao was wondering if it was anyone's birthday recently when she clicked on the link and found it was a screenshot of a timetable.
The destination was the city where Lu Qingyao lived.
Judging from the departure time, they should already be on their way...
[Surprised? Unexpected? (smug.jpg)]
My old classmate continued to gloat over there.
The post also included a photo, which appeared to be taken secretly.
The young man's pale profile, visible through the porthole, was almost more captivating than the scenery outside.
That is—
Lu Qingyao felt she had seen that face somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.
[Hehe, super handsome, right? I can't believe he's still so good-looking after all these years~ (drooling.jpg)]
After hearing this, Lu Qingyao finally remembered where she had seen this face before.
That was a quiet study room in the afternoon...
Lu Qingyao, still a young girl, secretly ran away to another building to find Yu Qingzhou, who was two grades above her.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other, and the latter was standing with a tall boy talking.
The two stood quite close, both with smiles on their faces.
At that moment, it seemed as if an invisible wall was blocking Lu Qingyao's path.
It was as if she had stumbled upon an unspeakable secret, and the girl's heart pounded.
Finally, he silently withdrew.
It was a summer day nearly twelve years ago.
This was also the first time Lu Qingyao had ever experienced defeat since birth.
So even though her heart was completely focused on Yu Qingzhou, she still remembered that profile.
Later, I inquired privately and learned that she was a well-known, cold, beautiful, and academically excellent student at the school.
Deep and resonant.
I think that's what it's called.
Lu Qingyao silently recited the name that had once brought her humiliation, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
My old classmate was still gushing over her crush, and I hesitated whether to go up and try to chat her up, otherwise I'd be wasting my luck.
Finally, add a sentence.
[Don't be too jealous, okay? (evil grin.jpg)]
Lu Qingyao smiled.
How could she be jealous? She was overjoyed.
Because she finally figured out how to vent her anger.
It would be even better if my old classmate put in a good effort and managed to get the place to live right away.
While thinking this, Lu Qingyao had already saved the screenshot and then casually forwarded it to Yu Qingzhou.
I casually mentioned my student days.
I wonder if that bastard Li Nian is with Yu Qingzhou right now.
If so, Lu Qingyao couldn't wait to see the former's reaction.
That man, whose heart is barely bigger than a pinhead, would probably be driven mad with jealousy.
Hmm... I might even be thinking of silencing them.
However, Lu Qingyao wasn't too worried. In a society governed by law, would the other party really commit murder and arson?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyao couldn't help but chuckle.
I laugh at myself for being so paranoid and having such wild imaginations.
"Miss, judging from your expression, has something good happened?"
The driver glanced at the girl in the rearview mirror and greeted her warmly.
She was a very beautiful girl, but she looked gloomy when she first got on the bus.
I stared at my phone for a while, and somehow my mood suddenly improved.
This made him quite curious.
"Nothing, I just suddenly discovered something interesting."
The girl spoke with a smile, her voice as captivating as her face, yet somehow it carried a hint of gritted teeth.
After a pause, the girl continued speaking with a smile: "...Dogs, regardless of whether their bark is loud or soft, all like to bite people randomly."
The driver was puzzled.
—That's it?
What kind of interesting thing is this?
However, upon catching a glimpse of the girl's suddenly sinister smile, the older brother decided it was best to just drive and not pry into her private affairs.
...
Meanwhile, Yu Qingzhou and Li Nian had just returned to their residence.
The two people live in the same building in the same community, on the same floor.
However, Li Nian had only been living here for a short time.
Yu Qingzhou was invited to visit the young man's former residence several times.
So, even Yu Qingzhou was somewhat surprised when the new neighbor came to visit with gifts.
“My previous house didn’t get good lighting, so I moved. This place has a nice environment and convenient transportation, and you mentioned that you live nearby… I just didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.”
Li Nian explained in this way while carefully observing Yu Qingzhou's expression.
When he said the last sentence, he seemed a little less confident.
"...I'm serious, you don't believe me, do you?" he asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhou smiled noncommittally.
Upon seeing this, the young man immediately straightened his back as if facing a formidable enemy, staring intently at the other person as if he were facing some kind of major trial.
“I said—” Yu Qingzhou sighed.
"Yes!" Li Nian immediately sat up straight.
What flavor of beef do you like?
"Beef...?"
"yes."
Yu Qingzhou pointed towards the kitchen and replied matter-of-factly, "Didn't you bring it? If there are no specific requirements, I'll just do whatever I want."
Li Nian realized what was going on in a second, and immediately smiled sweetly.
"How could that be? I love any dish my darling makes."
Yu Qingzhou felt a twitch on her forehead.
"...You have two seconds to change how you address someone."
Seeing that things were going well, Li Nian immediately changed her address and called Yu Qingzhou by her real name.
--mine.
The young man silently added in his heart, a fleeting obsession flashing in his heterochromatic eyes as he gazed at the other person's back.
Feeling something amiss, Yu Qingzhou stopped at the kitchen doorway.
Turning my head, I was greeted by a smiling face... It looked extremely innocent and harmless.
"What's wrong?"
Li Nian asked with a nonchalant smile.
Yu Qingzhou frowned slightly, but ultimately said in a low voice, "What are you doing sitting there? Come and lend a hand."
"Yes, sir!"
As the young man spoke, he jumped up from the sofa with a silly, sycophantic look on his face.
Is it just my imagination?
—It must be an illusion.
Yu Qingzhou told herself that it must be because she had been working too hard lately that she was being so suspicious for no reason.
This is really... incredibly boring.
Buzzing.
