Chapter 1894

In the end, he wrapped his other arm around her waist and held her tightly. His lips landed on hers.

A low gasp sounded in the canteen.

It wasn’t that Chu Boyang and Ji Fengmian being together had shocked them, but the scene of them suddenly kissing in public without any warning…

The impact was too great.

The boy who was still holding the roses was stunned and at a loss.

Even if she was rejected by Ji Fengmian, she felt embarrassed in this situation.

Gritting his teeth, he threw the roses to the ground and left with a low curse.

When she felt Chu Boyang’s lips, Ji Fengmian’s mind went blank.

She inhaled his breath and her pupils dilated.

It was only when she regained consciousness that she retracted her gaze and pushed him away forcefully.

Chu Boyang seemed to know what she was going to do next. He allowed her to touch his shoulder. At the same time, he held her hand and pressed it against his heart. His grip on her waist tightened.

He took advantage of her lips and released her a second before she lost her temper.

“He’s gone.”

He spoke immediately, not giving Ji Fengmian any chance to speak.

She didn’t need to look to know what was going on.

This idea was really good…

She turned to look at Ji Qing, who was sitting beside her. Her shocked expression was no less than anyone else’s.

She pursed her lips and pushed Chu Boyang away. “You really know how to attract hatred.”

Chu Boyang stared at Ji Fengmian’s red lips and smiled faintly.

“You’re so capable. Who would you be afraid of?”

Ji Fengmian glanced at him coldly. “You’re not solving my problem.”

Chu Boyang followed her gaze and saw Ji Qing.

His eyes moved and he looked at Ji Fengmian again. “I think you seem to have some misunderstanding about me.”

Ji Fengmian scanned his surroundings.

The onlookers dispersed one after another.

“Your idea is indeed good, but I don’t think it’s a last-minute idea. If you had told me earlier, I don’t think I would have needed your help.”

Chu Bo raised his eyebrows. “That’s why I didn’t tell you earlier.”

Ji Fengmian sat opposite Ji Qing. When he heard Chu Boyang’s words, his eyes flickered and he stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

“All in all, the effect is not bad.”

The photo of the two of them kissing in the canteen exploded on the school forum.

There were all sorts of comments, but Ji Fengmian couldn’t be bothered.

Those words were selective to her. At the very least, if she didn’t want to read them, she wouldn’t be affected.

It was much better than someone appearing in front of him one after another.

The way the two of them interacted was the same as usual. However, with the incident in the canteen, the two of them looked like a normal couple in everyone’s eyes.

However, compared to the suffering of other couples, they seemed too indifferent.

Just like…

In the past, everyone thought that the two of them were a couple. But when the two of them kissed in the canteen, it shocked them as though someone had made love in front of everyone.

It was too rare.

Ji Fengmian had a cold and arrogant expression. She couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be with a man.

Chu Boyang, on the other hand, had the same cold expression. He didn’t look like he was interested in women.

So the two of them being together was indeed…

It was reasonable and unbelievable.

The calmness between the two of them was normal.

Out of curiosity, Chu Jing asked Ji Fengmian what he was thinking. Ji Fengmian only gave a calm answer that saved him a lot of trouble.

Chu Jing shook his head at her attitude. This woman was indeed a woman who drove men crazy.

Her brain seemed to be working well, but her EQ was too low.

“You really don’t intend to date him? Aren’t you afraid that your true fate will slip away?”

Ji Fengmian flipped the book in his hand and took a bite of the apple without looking up.

“Is it fate that she slipped away?”

“Have you ever thought about Chu Boyan?”

Ji Fengmian gradually stopped chewing the apple. After a few seconds of silence, she nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right.”

Chu Jing was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Ji Fengmian remained silent.

When she reached school the next day, the first thing she said to Chu Boyang was, “Let’s break up.”

She had no intention of hiding it. In fact, she wanted to announce this matter in front of everyone.

The state of the surrounding people was almost the same as when they confirmed their relationship in the canteen.

Chu Boyang didn’t expect Ji Fengmian to do that.

He narrowed his eyes at her. “Why did you suddenly say that?”

Ji Fengmian said calmly, “I feel that I shouldn’t have blocked your fate. If I miss your true fate, the gains won’t make up for the losses, right?”

Chu Boyang sneered. “Ji Fengmian, have you ever thought about how long we’ve been together?”

Ji Fengmian pondered for a few seconds before replying, “Three years.”

When she said that, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She couldn’t describe how she felt.

It turned out that they had been “together” for three years.

“Three years… Do you think my so-called true fate will always be waiting for me and try not to appear in these three years? I don’t think she can be so obedient.”

“Maybe she’s really obedient? Since we’ve been together for the past three years, it means that your true fate hasn’t appeared… If it has, I think we should have separated long ago.”

Anger gradually rose in Chu Boyang’s chest. “So you don’t have to feel burdened. As you said, since we’re still together, it means that she hasn’t appeared yet. You and I don’t have to do anything meaningless for an unknown person.”

Ji Fengmian frowned. “Chu Boyang, you’re actually being unfair to that person. Since we’re friends, I naturally hope that you’ll live well. I don’t want to affect you…”

“Friend?”

Chu Boyang interrupted her coldly, “In your eyes, we’ve been friends for the past three years?”

Ji Fengmian was shocked by the coldness in his eyes before he found it ridiculous.

“Am I overthinking? Didn’t you say that you wanted to help each other back then?”

Chu Boyang stared at her for a long time before he suddenly sneered.

“Yes, you’re right. We’re indeed friends who help each other.”

Ji Fengmian nodded. “Yes. So from now on…”

“I’ve said it just now. When it’s time, we will naturally separate. So now is not the time.”

Ji Fengmian frowned. “So everything I said just now was nonsense?”

Chu Boyang couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. “No.”

“So what happened?”

“So I’ll have to trouble your friend to continue helping me. I don’t want to be in a relationship now.”

Ji Fengmian paused and smiled speechlessly.

“So I have to wait until you find her before you dump me?”

“There will never be such a thing between us.”

Ji Fengmian’s head hurt. Talking to this man would tire him to death.

“Up to you.”

She turned to leave, but Chu Boyan reached out to stop her.

She was in a bad mood and turned to look at him impatiently. “Is there anything else?”

Chu Boyang stared at her silently for a long time.

“Ji Fengmian, have you thought about what it would be like if we were really together in the past three years?”

Ji Fengmian didn’t hesitate and smiled. “I’ve never thought about it.”

With that, Chu Boyang loosened his grip on her wrist.

Ji Fengmian’s heart sank.

“Is there anything else?”

Chu Boyang shook his head and released her slowly. “I’m fine.”

—

The breakup of Ji Fengmian and Chu Boyang was undoubtedly another topic, and it spread like wildfire in school.

However, the two of them seemed to have argued face to face, but they didn’t break up in the end.

These two people were considered influential figures in the school. In their eyes, their words and actions were strange.

Their relationship was unique. Even their breakup was like a debate. They were calm and indifferent. They could salvage the situation with just a few words. It was as if nothing had happened.

Their relationship was still as insipid as ever. They had never been so inseparable.

“It’s been three years. The two of them have been holding hands for days on the forum, let alone kissing. Is that normal?”

“What a waste. That Ji Fengmian is now a famous cold beauty in T University. How many men want to conquer her? Is Chu Boyang a man or not? In three years, he probably hasn’t even had a taste of meat soup.”

“Sigh, I’m too ignorant. Who would date like that?”

The boy gossiped, his tone full of envy and disappointment.

With a beauty in his arms, the man remained calm. To them, it was… unforgivable.

There were too many of such words. Naturally, Chu Boyang heard them.

In summary, there was only one word.

Cowardly.

She had tricked him into becoming her boyfriend. He had been by her side for three years, but he had never warmed her heart.

It was fine even if she wavered a little. Today, she said “break up” perfectly without even blinking.

From the beginning to the end, even if they didn’t agree to break up, he was the one who used “friend” to suppress her.

Ha.

He was a coward.

He was afraid that if they crossed the line one day, they wouldn’t even be friends.

He had chosen to stay by her side carefully. Three years later, he suddenly realized that this was a wrong decision.

Ji Qing looked at Chu Boyang, who looked like a traveler who had lost his way in the desert. She mustered her courage and snatched the glass from him.

“Brother Boyan, stop drinking.”

Chu Boyang glanced at her from the corner of his eye. His eyes were bloodshot and as cold as a blood-stained arrow, it pierced her heart.

Her hand was empty, and the wine glass that she had snatched was in Chu Boyang’s mouth again.

Ji Qing pursed her lips and looked at him silently for a while. Her eyes gradually turned red.

“Didn’t you two not break up? Isn’t it good to continue like this? Why did you suddenly become like this today?”

“… Not good.”

Even though he had drunk alcohol, Chu Boyang remained very quiet. He sat on the high chair, looking elegant and not at all disheveled.

She swallowed the glass of wine again and her Adam’s apple bobbed twice. The crystal glass was placed on the glass table with a crisp sound.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“We didn’t break up because we’re friends.”

When he said this, he suddenly sneered.

What the hell was this?

It couldn’t be too funny.

Because they were friends, they didn’t break up…

“Haven’t you been like this all these years? Why can’t you do it today?”

“… Because my expectations were dashed, I didn’t get any response I wanted. Three years, not even a little…”

“… In that case, why didn’t you confess to her from the start?”

“Confess?” He turned to look at Ji Qing and chuckled. “Do you think she would accept my confession then?”

Ji Qing bit her lips and remained silent, but she knew the answer.

The wine glass was filled with wine again. He looked at the light spot where the liquid met the crystal glass and smiled mockingly.

“I have ulterior motives towards her from the start. Since I know that she can’t accept me, why don’t I do it slowly? She’s so smart, I thought that she would find out sooner or later…

I’ve always thought that she understood after all these years. No matter how slow she was, she should have thought in that direction… But today, I realized that she didn’t have any consciousness at all…”

Ji Qing watched as he finished the wine in one gulp. Tears fell from her eyes.

“Maybe… she knows? She just refuses to accept it! So there’s no need for you to end up like this. The choice has never been in your hands. Just like three years ago, she still won’t accept you, but the two of you can still be together. You should be happy like then.”

Chu Boyang pinched his swollen forehead and closed his eyes.

“Do you know why I placed her by my side as my girlfriend?”

“Why?”

“Because I’m afraid that she’ll fall in love for the first time and won’t be able to resist the romantic pursuit of other men. Although she’s past the age of knowing Mu Shaoai, what about in the future? We’ll eventually end this relationship and step out of school. There are so many temptations outside… Do you want me to watch helplessly as she gets together with another man?”

He shook his head. “Impossible.”

‘I can’t imagine.’

She didn’t dare imagine.

Ji Qing reached out to wipe her tears. “That’s why you said so much. You just want her to be with you and can only be with you. Then why are you still hesitating? You have to confess to her sooner or later. Otherwise, she might become someone else’s woman at any time.”

“Shut up…”

“I’m not wrong. As long as she doesn’t think of you as her real man, that place of hers will always be empty. Anyone has a chance to barge in. If you can think of occupying her boyfriend’s identity, how can you not understand that what you really have to do now is to occupy that place in her heart?”

Chu Boyang shook his head again. “Will she give it to me?”

“Since it’s hogging, is there any meaning to her agreement?”

Ji Qingshen took a deep breath and filled his glass with alcohol.

She stood up and beckoned to the bartender.

—

Ji Fengmian was watching a popular romance drama on his laptop.

She watched as the two of them misunderstood each other and cleverly brushed past each other like gods. Then, they finally got together and kissed passionately.

The kiss on the screen made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She couldn’t remember much about the entire drama.

She stared at the computer screen and touched her lips in a daze.

The computer screen changed and the two of them were on the bed.

Just as they were kissing passionately, her phone rang.

Could it be that she was so frightened that she quickly closed the page?

Glancing at the caller ID, her expression froze and guilt appeared on her face.

After a long while, she picked up the call.

Her voice was deliberately cold. “What’s the matter?”

“Excuse me, are you Miss Ji Fengmian?”

Ji Fengmian glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was indeed Chu Boyang. He pressed the phone to his ear again. “Yes, who are you?”
