Jiang Qin was a student at Linchuan University in his previous life, majoring in International Trade for his undergraduate degree. Therefore, he will still go to Linchuan in this life because he is already extremely familiar with that city.

Starting a business in a familiar city will be easier.

Hearing Jiang Qin's answer, Feng Nanshu rubbed her face, then stared blankly at the snack bag she had just shown off, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, the Nokia on the table suddenly flashed. Jiang Qin unlocked it and found a QQ message from Wang Huiru.

"Jiang Qin, Chu Siqi scored 632, what about you?"

"She asked you to ask me, right?"

"Okay, you guessed it, she did ask me to ask."

"My affairs have nothing to do with her, just tell her that." Jiang Qin typed a line of text with the physical keyboard and pressed send.

Wang Huiru was immediately dumbfounded: "Jiang Qin, you don't have any deep hatred with Chu Siqi, do you? Even as classmates, it's normal to ask about scores. Don't always be like this."

"Like what?"

"So petty!"

Jiang Qin's physical keyboard became more and more fluent: "Petty is petty, let her think what she wants."

Wang Huiru sent an ellipsis: "Jiang Qin, Chu Siqi is not wrong. It's her right to reject you, but you can still be friends even if you can't be lovers."

"So, I'm the one who's wrong? Choosing not to pester is also my right, okay? I don't want to be friends with her."

"Why?"

Jiang Qin switched to typing with one hand: "She just thinks the whole world should like her, the whole world should follow her. Whatever she says is what it is, and if she tells someone to go east, they absolutely can't go west. I'm not fortunate enough to enjoy such a friend. It's annoying, really annoying."

Wang Huiru was silent for a long while: "I know Siqi is a bit tsundere, but isn't that part of her charm?"

"Being a little tsundere is fine, but she crosses the line too much. Like that day on Central Street, ordering me not to leave in front of so many people. On what basis? We're not even friends, and she says I can't leave just because she says so? Does she think the earth revolves around her?"

"Talk to her properly and let her change."

Jiang Qin frowned: "Why should I waste time on her? If this friend doesn't work, I'll just find another one. Is there a problem with that?"

Wang Huiru's reply clearly stuttered a lot: "There's no problem, but are you sure you're not saying this out of spite because you're in love?"

"I've made myself so clear, why do you still think that way? I bet Chu Siqi thinks so too, right? Thinks I'm just putting on an act because I was rejected and lost face?"

"No, no, I didn't think that way, Jiang Qin, don't misunderstand!"

Jiang Qin continued to press the physical keyboard: "Classmate Wang, actually, I don't want to say another word to her. I'm explaining so much to you entirely for your sake, do you understand?"

Wang Huiru's heart softened instantly when she saw this reply: "Then I'll talk to her and tell her not to bother you during this time."

"Not just during this time, but forever."

"Jiang Qin, that's too hurtful to say. She left you a way out when she rejected you and even encouraged you. Can't you be so cold to her?"

"Damn, I'm speechless just thinking about it. What do you mean there's hope if I persist? Is that supposed to be encouraging me? It's not that she has feelings for me, it's just that she hasn't met someone she truly likes, so she feels lonely and thinks I can keep her company. When she meets someone she likes, she won't even remember who I am."

"..."

"Classmate Wang, sometimes it's better to say hurtful things so that you can break things off cleanly and so that neither of you has so many illusions."

Seeing this reply, Wang Huiru fell silent because she suddenly remembered her conversation with Chu Siqi on Central Street.

[Siqi, what if you meet someone you truly like in the future?]

[Then I'll definitely choose the one I like. I can't choose Jiang Qin just because he's been persistent for a long time, right?]

She knew that Jiang Qin was right, so she had no position to refute him, and she even vaguely felt like she was on Jiang Qin's side.

"Okay, Jiang Qin, I know what to do."

"Classmate Wang, it was a pleasure chatting with you, but please don't come to me for her affairs in the future. I don't want to ruin my mood for the day, okay?"

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's good to make things clear."

After ending the chat, Wang Huiru sighed, her eyes filled with a daze.

Indeed, Jiang Qin really didn't have any lingering feelings for his close friend, and it had even turned into disgust and rejection.

Then what about Feng Nanshu? Is she really dating Jiang Qin? She's a rich young lady who gets picked up by a Bentley, the dream girl of countless boys at Chengnan High School. The boys who secretly admire her could line up all the way from Chengnan High School to City Within a City, okay? Yet Jiang Qin is pinching her cheeks, and she looks so cute and charming. Who would believe it if you told them?

Even Wang Huiru wanted to ask: Why? Jiang Qin is good-looking, tall, and does well in his studies, but she still doesn't believe he could win over Feng Nanshu.

Feng Nanshu is famous in school for being aloof and doesn't talk to anyone, practically exuding an aura that says, "Keep away."

Don't even mention pursuing her; some boys feel inferior just getting close to her, feeling like they've got a death wish for even daring to have such extravagant hopes. Don't they know what they look like? So, this is unscientific!

Wang Huiru felt like she understood Jiang Qin less and less, and then she couldn't help but think of her close friend.

Siqi is still acting high and mighty, throwing a tantrum, waiting for Jiang Qin to regret it, waiting for Jiang Qin to apologize, but she has no idea how much has happened in these short two weeks.

Wang Huiru picked up her phone again, found Chu Siqi's QQ account, and sent her a message.

"I just went to ask Jiang Qin, and he said his affairs have nothing to do with you, and he told you not to contact him again."

"Bastard, how could he say that? Didn't you scold him for me?"

"Siqi, let it go. You've already rejected him. Just forget about him."

In a bedroom in Maple Forest Green Residence, Chu Siqi, wearing pajamas, was so angry that she threw the college application guide in her hand hard against the opposite wall, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

That Jiang Qin, he's just angry that she rejected him, so he's desperately trying to make her angry! Yes, he succeeded; she was indeed angered.

But didn't he feel uncomfortable enduring it for so long? He's just suffering for the sake of saving face.

In fact, Chu Siqi had her own considerations for asking Wang Huiru to inquire about Jiang Qin's grades. She wanted to give Jiang Qin a way out, hinting that he should stop being angry with her.

Because she's been increasingly annoyed lately, always staring at her phone, constantly imagining Jiang Qin sending her a message saying, "I was wrong."

It's almost become her inner demon.

She didn't used to care so much about Jiang Qin, but now her mind is full of Jiang Qin. Chu Siqi doesn't like this version of herself at all, and she especially dislikes this feeling of being out of control.

But she didn't expect Jiang Qin to be so heartless, completely unappreciative! Fine, no contact, right? Then no contact. Whoever contacts the other is a dog!
