Gu Jinâs eyes widened in surprise. Of all people, why would Cheng Xin speak so self-righteously about being âfaithfulâ? This was simply ridiculous.
She lowered her eyes and suddenly smiled. âYou didnât know? That I broke up with Shao Chong?â
âBroke up?â Cheng Xin repeated. âHow did you break up? Did Shao Chong did something wrong to you?â
Cheng Xin angrily said: âWell Shao Chong, how dare you bully my best sister. Gu Jin, you wait, Iâll bring Jing Hao with me to go teach that guy a good lesson!â
âItâs not his fault,â Gu Jin explained. âI was the one who broke up with him.â
Just when Cheng Xin was about to make a phone call, she suddenly paused in disbelief at what she heard. âHow canâ¦you were the one thatâ¦â
She knew Gu Jinâs temper and how much she liked Shao Chong.
While she did had not confirmed her relationship with Jing Hao, every time they went out with a group of people Gu Jin would always look at Shao Chong and quietly blush.
Cheng Xin had never met a girl as reserved and gentle as Gu Jin.
So after she rejected Shao Chong, she helped to put the couple get together.
To her, Gu Jin and Shao Chong were two very kind people who would definitely have a happy life together.
But now Gu Jin was telling her that she gave up Shao Chong, and Cheng Xin could not understand.
âThatâs because person he likes is not me!â Gu Jin said openly. âMom told me that I shouldnât find a man who doesnât like me so that my future wonât become a tragedy.â
Cheng Xin opened her mouth and but found herself speechless. She couldnât bring herself to admit that the person Shao Chong liked all along was her.

âWell, you canât just find another man and be together right away,â she muttered after a long pause.
Gu Jin raised an eyebrow. âYou, donât know who that man was?â
Cheng Xin wasnât able to see the new boyfriendâs appearance from such a far distance. She frowned and asked curiously, âShould I know him? Who is he?â
âNo one,â Gu Jin assured with a smile. âIâm not feeling well. Iâm going to take a bath first, and you should sleep early because there are classes tomorrow.â
âYeah.â Cheng Xin moved away.
As Gu Jin was about to close the door Cheng Xin couldnât help but say: âGu Jin, I think you should reconsider Shao Chong. He has been asking me about you for the past few days.â
She pushed down the slight discomfort in her heart and said, âHe cares about you.â
âYeah, I know,â Gu Jin replied, then closed the door.
Gu Jin took a hot bath, completely exhausted. Later when she lay in bed with a hot-water bottle, she felt bewildered as she thought of the events earlier that day.

He could she agree to Mu Mingchengâs ridiculous demands?
Was it too late to go back?
It was definitely too late.
Her cellphone chimed with a message from Mu Mingcheng.
âBaby, go to bed early. You donât have to call me today.â
The term of endearment alarmed Gu Jin and she dropped her phone on the bed. She shuddered as goosebumps prickled on her skin.
She thought for a moment, then picked up her cellphone and changed the name on the contact list to âIdiot Tyrant Muâ.
