âIt doesnât matter if I believe you or not. What matters is that weâve already broken up. I didnât quarrel with you or blame you. I just felt that we werenât compatible. Is there a problem with breaking up peacefully?â Shi Niange looked at him calmly.
âBut I donât want to. Iâm innocent.â Tang Shao anxiously raised his hand to touch the back of his neck. âI really like you. That day in the infirmary, it was the doctor who asked me to help support her. Thatâs why I didnât have the time to call you to clarify things. You canât break up with me because of this misunderstanding. Itâs not fair to me.â
âTang Shao, for the sake of our two families, letâs be rational. Letâs part on good terms and not make things too awkward. Letâs split up. I donât want too much nonsense and entanglement.â Shi Niange said softly, âBut you said it wasnât fair. When your love song with another girl was taken and posted on the school forum, everyone said that I relied on the Shi familyâs wealth to get you to be with me. In fact, the two of you are a couple. Iâm the interloper. Is this topic fair to me?â
âAlso, youâve been playing basketball for the entire summer vacation. I didnât look for you much. It wasnât easy for us to meet when school reopened. On the first day of our date, you carried another girl to the infirmary. You didnât even explain to me patiently over the phone. I waited for you in the field for an entire afternoon. Is this fair to me?â
â...â Tang Shao looked like he wanted to cry, but he couldnât. He just felt that her attitude and her expression explained everything, as though no matter how he explained, it was useless.
âI didnât make any principled mistakes, did I? Otherwise, donât break up with me. You can just ignore me for now. You can watch my performance. When you forgive me, you can reconcile with me...â
âTang Shao, youâre in your third year of high school. Youâre an adult, arenât you? I should be an adult next year. Iâm not a child. Why are you playing such childish games?â
After speaking, Shi Niange was about to leave. Tang Shao rushed forward to pull her in another direction. Shi Niange stumbled and almost bumped into him. She looked up at him. âWhat are you doing?â
âItâs lunchtime now. Iâll take you to lunch. Letâs talk while we eat.â Tang Shao held her hand and walked towards the other staircase.
Shi Niange couldnât shake him off, and they couldnât make a big fuss in the corridor. She lowered her voice with an unhappy expression. âLet go, Tang Shao, let go. If you go back like this, Iâll tell my family that youâre pestering me. You know that the reason we met is because our parents are business partners. You donât want anything to go wrong, do you? If youâre sensible enough, let go of me. In the future, weâll walk our own paths and be ordinary friends. At least, no one will be embarrassed!â
âBut I like you! I didnât like anyone else. Why the f*ck did you break up with me!â Tang Shao suddenly stopped and turned back to shout at her. His voice was full of energy, as though he had been wronged.
Shi Niange was suddenly speechless.
She didnât feel that she had done anything wrong, but could his shout erase his central air conditioning?
At this moment, a figure suddenly walked up the stairs by the side. He was tall and slender, and had the unique charm of a young man. He had already taken off his school uniform and was wearing a white T-shirt. He held a bottle of mineral water in his hand.
When she saw Qin Siting walking up the stairs, Shi Niange felt a headache coming on.
There were stairs on both sides of the corridor. There were more people on the right side, and the left side was quieter. Qin Siting usually walked quietly on either side, but she didnât expect to meet him here. Furthermore, it had been less than twenty minutes since he left the class.
They had already broken up, yet she suddenly fell in love with a male god and secretly wanted to treat him well. As long as Qin Sitingâs brain was fine, he would definitely be able to tell that she liked him. Regardless of whether he paid attention to it or not, he would definitely be able to tell. Now that he suddenly saw her and her ex-boyfriend entangled here, who knew what impression she would leave in his heart.
In the past, Shi Niange was a person who did not care about anything. She never cared about what others thought of her or gossiped about her in private. This was the first time she was so afraid of drawing a strange name in othersâ hearts.
She quickly pulled her hand out again. Tang Shao also saw Qin Siting. When the two of them stood together, they were both tall and had good family backgrounds. However, when he saw Qin Siting, he instinctively became timid. Perhaps it was because of the trauma he had caused last semester.
At this moment, Tang Shao did not dare to hold Shi Niangeâs hand. He only looked at her and begged her to go out for a meal with him, giving him a chance to explain and perform.
Shi Niange was not in a good mood. After all, she had been seen just now. When she saw that Qin Siting had walked up and brushed past her, she was too embarrassed to call him. Initially, she had wanted him to help her get rid of Tang Shao. After all, Almighty Qin had the right to speak in the third year of high school. In the end, he didnât even give her a chance to speak before rejecting her. Now, she couldnât even open the door. She could only wait for him to walk away before she made things clear with Tang Shao.
The tall and thin boy walked past just like that. There seemed to be the smell of mint on him. Tang Shao looked at Qin Siting warily. Seeing that he had already taken a few steps with his back facing him, he looked at Shi Niange and said, âWhat do you want to eat? Itâs already so late. You should be hungry, right? You usually have to eat on time. If you eat less, your stomach will hurt. Donât be angry with me. Letâs go eat first?â
âStomachache is better than nausea.â Shi Niange didnât have a good temper to deal with him, but she was indeed worried that her stomach would hurt. She picked up her phone and was about to call Zhao Xiaoqing to ask her to pack a lunch box for her.
All of a sudden, a cold voice came from behind. âDidnât you say that you donât know the last question of the Physics paper? Come here.â
That voice belonged to Qin Siting. It was still cold and indifferent, but when she suddenly heard this, Shi Niange couldnât react in time. When she saw Tang Shaoâs stunned expression, she turned around and saw Qin Siting standing there, tall and handsome, looking at her indifferently.
Shi Niange immediately reacted and rushed over to him, leaving the student from the central air conditioner standing there with his mouth agape. He was so surprised that he could not say a single word.
She stepped forward and stood by Qin Sitingâs side. She did not dare to believe that he would actually help her out. Qin Siting only glanced at her and his gaze was not even inclined toward Tang Shao. He walked straight to the classroom, and Shi Niange quickly followed him in obediently.
