I Understand! (Part 1)

(A quick heads-up: In these next two chapters, I want to try writing from an internal perspective, but my writing skills aren't quite up to par, so it's a bit clunky and longer than it needs to be. If you don't like it, feel free to skip it; it won't affect the plot.)

In the end, Shang Qian got her wish and came in.

It was just that her expression wasn't great, feeling like she had been acting flirtatiously in front of a gay man just now.

Shang Qian was very confident in her appearance and figure, with red lips, white teeth, a slender waist, and a large bust.

A young man Shen Jin's age would be overwhelmed if he just bent over in front of her.

But at this moment, instead of taking the opportunity to do what men want most, he actually laughed at her.

(*￣︿￣)

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!

"Shen Jin, are you gay?"

Shen Jin was stunned. He had discovered something:

Women are very strange. If you have thoughts about them, they think you're a useless pervert driven by lust.

If you ignore them, they think there's something wrong with your body.

If you tease them, good heavens, they'll immediately assume you're gay.

Shen Jin pondered for two seconds, "Whatever you think it is, it is."

If being mistaken for gay could help him avoid some trouble, Shen Jin had no psychological burden whatsoever.

Although she was nice and had a great figure, reaching the position of Director probably... maybe...

He didn't want to end up like the nursery rhyme popular in Dongguan:

Arrived in Guangdong with empty hands, Forced by life. Returned to the village to mend my ways, remarried a husband.

He absolutely wouldn't be the one to take responsibility for this situation!

Even though he was a virgin, he had his own principles!

However, Shen Jin glanced at Shang Qian again.

'Da Qian Qian' wasn't just a rumor; this was the real deal. If it was just for a bit of fun...

Shang Qian was also stunned when she heard Shen Jin's affirmative reply. She had only said it out of anger, wanting to save face.

She hadn't expected...

Thinking back on Shen Jin's two years at the company, he really hadn't been ambiguous with any other women; instead, he had been quite close to Zhao Mingkai.

Coincidentally, Zhao Mingkai was sullen all day and didn't talk much with girls. On the contrary, he often chatted and laughed with the strong and robust security guard Lu Qiang.

Moreover, the only two men living alone after the apocalypse were Zhao Mingkai and Lu Qiang!

"Hiss~"

Shang Qian gasped. The events of today had become increasingly mysterious.

"So, you didn't come here today because of me at first, did you?" Shang Qian tentatively asked.

Shen Jin nodded, "Indeed not. It was a coincidence."

Shen Jin had initially just come to find two walkie-talkies. He hadn't expected to stay there all day and miss home...

Shang Qian thought, just as she suspected! He must have gained powers and wanted to find his former lover, and coincidentally ran into Lu Qiang assaulting me.

Settling old and new scores at once!

But then, who was the handsome guy who rushed in?

Shang Qian had heard Qi Tong describe him. That handsome guy's name was Sun Can, and before he fainted, he said to Shen Jin, "It was destiny that I would come to save you."

Could it be...

I understand!

This sentence didn't make sense before and seemed very strange, but as soon as she accepted that Shen Jin was gay, the answer became obvious!

Sun Can was Shen Jin's new lover!

He clearly knew that Shen Jin, who had awakened his powers, was coming to find Zhao Mingkai. He was heartbroken but still worried about Shen Jin and secretly followed him.

That's why he rescued Shen Jin at the most dangerous moment!

"Zhao Mingkai treated you like that before, and Lu Qiang isn't a good person either. Are you still taking Zhao Mingkai with you?" Shang Qian tried to ask.

What did Zhao Mingkai do to me? Oh! He said such infuriating things. His emotional intelligence is terrifyingly low. Why would I take him with me?

Shen Jin found Shang Qian's question strange.

"Of course not. Why would I take him? I'm only guaranteeing Sun Can's safety."

Shen Jin's words were a subtle refusal to Shang Qian, implying he only cared about Sun Can and she shouldn't think about leaving with him.

Shang Qian nodded inwardly after hearing this.

Everything is clear now!

It seems that after everything that happened today, Shen Jin has realized who his true love is.

One is a scumbag who found a bodyguard to send away his loneliness behind his back, and the other is a handsome guy who dared to risk his life for him in a moment of crisis.

Naturally, the choice isn't difficult.

It's likely Shen Jin is completely heartbroken over Zhao Mingkai, not even wanting to be in the same room with him, and deliberately brought Sun Can here.

It's enough to guard his lover.

"Okay, I think I understand what you mean."

Shang Qian's gaze towards Shen Jin had changed, it was an understanding look.

(°°)

Shen Jin was startled by Shang Qian's sudden calm and gentle gaze.

What is it? Why is she suddenly like this?

Wait! She doesn't want to live anymore, does she?

I get it!

After such humiliation, a proud woman would likely already have thoughts of ending her life.

And she is a smart woman, knowing that the only motivation for her to keep living is to leave here, to leave this place that left her with terrifying memories, to leave these colleagues who watched her fall from a goddess to a dog.

That's why today, she was willing to give up the dignity she once fiercely protected, just to have him take her away.

And himself? He had just mocked and teased her.

Rejected her again and again!

She must be desperate, afraid to face tomorrow, afraid to face the future.

She intends to die!

"Relax a little, actually, these things will pass. What others think is only temporary, there's no need to go looking for death.

Like me, I was once lost and anxious, often feeling sad because of what others thought, but now? I don't care anymore. When you're alive, you just need to please yourself, you don't need to care too much about others' opinions.

Remember! Definitely don't make a decision you'll regret!"

Shen Jin remembered when he resolutely decided to resign, ignoring everyone's opinions. He had also faced a lot of cold treatment and ridicule back then.

During that period, he often felt lost and anxious, afraid that he would throw all his savings away and end up with nothing. But in the end, he succeeded, making a huge profit with Bitcoin.

And he also started living the life he wanted, no longer working for others, no longer having to curry favor.

He wanted to tell Shang Qian through his own experience that even if everyone looks at you differently, you must live strong, and use your future to slap them in the face. Don't make a decision you'll regret because you can't think straight for a moment.

What if you regret it halfway through when you jump from the third floor?

Shang Qian nodded. Shen Jin's words had now very directly explained his experience:

From the very beginning, when he knew he was gay and felt lost, anxious, even suicidal, to later casting aside others' opinions and honestly accepting himself, pleasing himself with a man's chest.

His decision not only spoke of facing his true self but also implied that she too would make the right decision today.

Shen Jin had decided to spend his life with Sun Can!

I understand everything now!

She was just a minor interlude in Shen Jin's romantic journey, no wonder she had no attraction for him.

Then the last question.

Is Shen Jin the top or the bottom?
