"Hong Yan, Jiang Qin has liked me from the very beginning. Why must you compete with me?" Chu Siqi spoke first, her eyes filled with resentment.

Hong Yan slowly raised her head, "He doesn't like you. Even if he did, you wouldn't deserve his affection."

Wang Huiru's mind went blank. She couldn't believe that the always gentle Hong Yan could say such a thing: "Hong Yan, calm down."

"Am I wrong? Chu Siqi, what do you want? To have him continue to like you, and then reject him, just to gain a sense of satisfaction?"

Chu Siqi's breath hitched, her face instantly turning pale: "You're talking nonsense, I didn't."

Hong Yan looked at Wang Huiru: "Huiru, you know many things better than I do. Who do you think is talking nonsense?"

Wang Huiru pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time: "I don't know, I don't understand anything."

"Even you don't dare to tell the truth, which means Chu Siqi is truly hopeless."

"Hong Yan, don't twist the facts. Jiang Qin has liked me since the first year of high school!" Chu Siqi gritted her teeth.

Hong Yan looked at her calmly: "So what? What did it get you? Do you like him?"

"I..."

"You just enjoy being chased, right? Selfish, vain, and foolish."

Hong Yan's words were as sharp as knives, instantly turning Chu Siqi's face deathly pale.

She couldn't understand how she could be so easily overwhelmed by the other party's words, even after going back to change into her most beautiful and sexy clothes and putting on beautiful makeup. South Street was crowded with people coming to eat on the weekend. The tables in front, behind, and on both sides, a dozen people in total, were all staring at Jiang Qin's table, wondering what these beautiful women were trying to get from surrounding this guy. He was clearly so ordinary!

"Hong Yan, you've only met Jiang Qin twice. You don't understand him at all."

Hong Yan's lips slightly curved upward: "Does that matter? I'll have plenty of time to understand him in the future. After all, I won't waste my time chatting with senior students."

Chu Siqi's eyes widened instantly: "How can you distort the truth like that? There was a problem with my student record. What could I do if I didn't go?"

"Is that so?"

Hong Yan reached into her handbag, took out a BBK Mobile Phone, opened the text messages, and flipped to one of them.

[Junior, there's a problem with your student record. Do you have time to come out and chat?]

Chu Siqi's eyes widened slightly. She stared blankly for a long time, then took out her own phone and compared it with the text message. It was exactly the same! "I also received his text message, but I didn't go because I knew he was just making an excuse. Didn't you know that?"

"I..."

Hong Yan put her phone back in her bag, her eyes calmly looking at Chu Siqi: "You're not stupid, you're just pretending to be. You want more people to chase you, to make you feel smug, so you pretend not to know Zheng Qinglong's intentions, pretending to be innocent."

Chu Siqi felt extremely wronged: "I didn't. I didn't think about it carefully at the time. My student information had a problem once in high school. You're wronging me."

"Stop pretending to be naive. It's really annoying."

Si Huiying couldn't stand it anymore: "Hong Yan, we're sisters in the same dorm. Is it worth it to fight over a scumbag?"

Scumbag????? Jiang Qin frowned, thinking that he had been desperately trying to make money and not dating from beginning to end. How was he a scumbag?

In both his lives, this was the first time he had received the honor of being called a scumbag.

But Si Huiying clearly didn't plan to stop once she started, so she immediately pointed the finger at Jiang Qin.

"You're sitting here without saying a word. Do you think it's glorious that two women are fighting over you? Are you enjoying this feeling?"

"We had a good dorm, four sisters, but your existence has made us hate each other. How can you still have the nerve to eat here?"

"If you like Siqi, then like her properly. She said she would give you a chance. Why do you still provoke Hong Yan? Does it feel good to play two women at once?"

Jiang Qin looked up at her, thinking, Why the hell would I explain anything to someone I don't even know?

As a result, Si Huiying thought he was feeling guilty because he didn't speak, so her tone became more intense and her words became sharper.

"Why aren't you talking?"

"You're right. I have nothing to say."

Jiang Qin opened another bottle of beer, took out four more glasses, and poured the beer: "If you're tired of scolding, then eat something. After drinking this cup, let's forget about each other."

Si Huiying immediately let out a contemptuous sneer: "You think we can just forget about it? Our dorm relationship has become like this. Shouldn't you be responsible?"

"Four is too many. The country doesn't allow me to be responsible for that many."

Just then, a shrill scream suddenly came from the middle of South Street, causing everyone present to tremble and look in the direction of the sound.

In the middle of the road, a boy in a white T-shirt was kneeling on the ground, wailing incessantly. Scattered around him were roses, their stems broken and mangled, a truly pitiful sight.

Directly in front of the kneeling boy, a girl with dyed flaxen hair was staring at him in astonishment, her arm linked with another boy, her eyes filled with panic.

"Tang Xiaoyan, I've liked you for five whole years, five whole years!"

"From the first year of high school to the second year of university, I thought I'd eventually have a chance to win you over. You always encouraged me, saying you'd be with me when you felt it. I believed you!"

"I held onto that hope, took an overnight bus to get here, only to find you strolling around with someone else?"

"I don't blame you for not liking me, but why did you say last night that you couldn't help wanting to be with me?"

"How can you do this to me? How can you do this to my five years of youth?"

"Tang Xiaoyan, I've been chasing you for five damn years, everyone knows I like you, even my mom knows!"

"Ah!!!!!"

In the midst of the anguished screams, the entire South Street fell into an endless silence.

The girl seemed to curse him as a lunatic, then threw her bag at the boy's face. The boy didn't even dodge, only wearing a miserable smile.

Jiang Qin was dumbfounded by the scene, thinking, I just came out for a meal, who the hell is holding up a mirror to me? Chu Siqi, on the other hand, stared blankly at the boy kneeling on the ground, feeling a sudden tightness in her chest for some reason.

"Five years is a long time to be devoted, and that boy is quite handsome. I wonder if that girl will regret it..."

"No."

Si Huiying raised her head and glanced at Jiang Qin, her face instantly turning cold: "Who asked you? Scumbags have no right to speak!"

Jiang Qin picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, his gaze calmly fixed on the flaxen-haired girl: "She will never regret it. She won't even realize she once had the chance to have the best love. The fact that the guy can be let down shows that this girl has no perception of truly beautiful things. Heaven will never give anyone a chance like this twice. But don't worry, that guy has already met a girl like this, he will never be hurt by love again."

"..."

The four golden flowers of the Department of Law stared at him blankly, speechless for a moment.

Especially Si Huiying, her eyes were somewhat astonished, not understanding how a scumbag could say such profound words.

Wang Huiru, as an outsider, saw things more clearly. She felt that Jiang Qin seemed to have matured to the point of being able to see through everything, and talking about love in front of him seemed particularly naive.

But they didn't know that at this moment, Jiang Qin was actually seeing his past self. He had also asked himself again and again where he went wrong, but no one had ever given him an answer.

He felt a little heavy in his heart at this moment, and feared that only Feng Nanshu's pink little feet could comfort him.

"Love is something even dogs wouldn't bother with."
