Chapter 336: 329: Where Have I Wronged You?

“Anything else?” Zhang Yong’an questioned, chewing on his simple stir-fried cabbage, with hardly any oiliness, it tasted as if it were boiled.

Tang Yuxin pointed around them with her chopsticks, “Don’t you wonder why everyone’s so far from me?”

Zhang Yong’an was taken aback. He had assumed that Tang Yu was alone, and so he came over to join her, but he found it strange that today it was different, usually the place was full of people. Even if less people were around Tang Yuxin, she was still amongst her group of roommates. How could he seamlessly join her and engage in such a long conversation?

Why were there fewer people today?

He looked around once more, finding people giving him sympathetic looks. Sympathetic towards him? What a joke. He doesn’t need any pity, he’s a student at Qing University, a top scholar. Once he graduates, he will become society’s new talent. Sympathize with him? They should look at their own appearances first, still trying to get close to this top scholar.

Tang Yuxin stood up, her arms propped on the table.

“Because …” she laughed, mocking Zhang Yong’an’s ignorance and stupidity.

“Last night, I just happened to dissect a corpse, I took out the heart, lungs, liver, gallbladder, and kidneys, studied them in my palms, then put them all back. The corpse has been soaked in formalin for a long time now, you know the feeling? Like touching cold, slippery …”

“Blargh…”

Zhang Yong’an suddenly covered his mouth and almost tumbled in his haste to run to the restroom. All the food he’d just eaten was entirely vomited out.

All the food he’d eaten was gone. He wasn’t content, he had only eaten half of his meal, he couldn’t just not eat the remainder. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the next meal today; how was he supposed to survive this afternoon? Would he have to go hungry?

By the time he returned to the dining hall to collect the leftover meals, he found that they were all gone, not a single grain of rice was left.

He was so angry he could feel it in his guts.

Over two dollars gone, he had only a four-dollar meal allowance per day, but now two were missing. He only had one dollar for this evening, how was he going to get by?

Despite his despicable past, Zhang Yong’an deserves credit for one thing: he didn’t want to add any burden to his parents. However, he got involved with the stupid woman, Tang Yuxin, who brought suffering upon herself and her poor father, who even sold his blood to ensure that his daughter was fed and warm at school.

This was something Yuxin could never forgive herself for.

It took until the age of thirty before she realized the magnitude of her past mistakes. Unfortunately, no form of redemption could ever mend the wounds that resulted from her father’s hard life. It was impossible for him to become younger, just as it was impossible for her to come back to life after death.

Tang Yuxin, with her backpack, decided to find Qin Ziye, as they hadn’t seen each other in quite a while. He was always busy, but, once he returned, he made sure to find her immediately.

A lot of things took shape subtly.

Many feelings developed from habits.

“Tang Yuxin, where are you going?” Suddenly, that same voice rang out, as if it were eternally present.

Tang Yuxin stopped and turned around, gazing impassively at Zhang Yong’an running towards her. It seemed as if he had specifically stayed behind to see her, to contrive an encounter, to feign amazement at crossing paths coincidentally.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Did he think Yuxin was a fool?

This practice was overused in her past life, so stop using it. She found it disgusting.

“Tang Yuxin, where are you going? Shall I accompany you?”

Tang Yuxin didn’t even bother to respond, she just continued walking ahead.

After receiving cold treatment from Yuxin, Zhang Yong’an still stupidly followed her.

“By the way, where are you going? Let me escort you. It’s getting late, it’s not safe for a girl to be alone. It’ll be fine as long as I’m with you.”

“You, sure?” Tang Yuxin was too weary to laugh. She examined the man in front of her; who looked like a plucked chicken. If it weren’t for another woman willing to sacrifice her meals to feed him during her past life, he would likely look like a starving African refugee. He was reluctant to spend his parents’ money but perfectly okay with spending others’ parents’ money.

To be selfish to such an extent was incredibly noteworthy.

Zhang Yong’an thought Tang Yuxin agreed and proudly puffed up his less-than-robust chest. “Don’t worry, I’ll certainly protect you.”

“Oh….” Tang Yuxin merely curled her lips into a small smile. Sadly, Zhang Yong’an, who was in the throes of joy, failed to notice the mockery and derision in her eyes.

“Can you even beat a cat, or a dog?”

Zhang Yong’an’s face went through several noticeable color changes – first white, then yellow and finally, an ugly greenish yellow.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to retort, a car pulled up in front of him. The car door opened and out stepped a tall, handsome man dressed in a classic suit and tie, his shoes untouched by dust.

This is completely the image of a successful man. Zhang Yong’an started daydreaming, imagining himself wearing such an outfit, driving such a car, and exuding an air of dominance. But a sudden gust of cold wind brought him back to reality, causing him to shiver.

He looked down at his own clothes, the only ones he had that he could be proud of. He touched his trainers, he had no suit, no tie, and certainly no car.

He was currently an impoverished student, barely managing to afford three meals a day. Even if he sold blood, or his organs, he couldn’t afford such a car, and even if he could afford one, he definitely couldn’t maintain it.

Right now, he stared daggers at Tang Yuxin, wishing that he could pop his eyes out. Who was this man, what did he do, and what was his relationship with her?

“Who is he?” Qin Ziye walked over and stood in front of Tang Yuxin. He was here to pick up his girlfriend. Could it be that she was being unfaithful to him?

“Just some amusing fellow,” Tang Yuxin played with her fingers while speaking. The two men were face to face, were they rivals? Zhang Yong’an certainly looked like it, his outraged expression resembling that of a man who had just realized his wife’s infidelity.

But did she have any relationship with him?

“Amusing?” Qin Ziye arched an eyebrow. “Explain yourself, what’s so amusing?” As he spoke, he put his arm around Tang Yuxin’s shoulder. It was clear that he was doing this deliberately, trying to provoke a certain stupid man.
