Actually, looking back now, she must have thought that I would accept Rowan’s pursuit.
She only came to me and said those words because she wanted to show off that she could take away someone chasing after me."
"Isn’t that obvious? How did you react back then?"
"At that time, my feelings..." she pursed her lips: "were like stepping on shit."
"So, did it affect your college entrance exam results?" Kay listened very seriously.
Jane shook her head: "It did affect my mood, but not enough to affect my scores.
Didn’t I tell you, I never intended to be with Rowan in the first place.
When Savannah came to me at that time, I just felt disgusted.
I somewhat regretted how I could have been friends with two such people over the past half year.
But that year during the college entrance exam, I performed very well, probably even better than usual.
Though I wasn’t the top scholar in our small city, I still got into Anchester University with the third-highest score.
My score was a whole 47 points higher than Savannah’s, so I considered it a complete victory."
"And after that, didn’t you take revenge on them?"
Jane shrugged: "Why bother?"
"Damn, you’re really tolerant. If it were me, I would have definitely given them a piece of my mind," Kay’s eyes widened, this woman, she actually swallowed that anger.
"But I’m not you, and besides, if I had taken revenge on them in that situation, it would have proved that I truly cared about them, right?
I think making myself better, reaching a point where they can only look up to me and can’t even reach me, that’s the best revenge.
So, after graduating from university, I stayed in Anchester and found a job I liked, and I’ve been working hard to live and make progress.
I heard Rowan didn’t do well on his college entrance exam, but he still followed Savannah to South Town to chase her.
Later, after Savannah graduated from university, Rowan pulled some strings to get her an office job in a factory in Rongford, and he has been running business ever since.
Adriana tells me that Rowan is quite a playboy outside, often seen drinking with other women by classmates.
Rongford is not that big, he doesn’t even try to be discreet.
Although I don’t know if that’s true or not, I actually feel quite relieved."
She laughed: "I should be grateful that Savannah told me all this early on, so I didn’t ruin my life over Rowan, right."
Saying this, she looked up at him and smiled with a curl of her lips.
Kay looked down at her lying on the ground, her complexion softened by the moonlight, her slightly upward-curled eyelashes fluttering...
In that instant, he actually thought this woman was a bit pleasing to the eye.
"Hmph, you’re just lucky," he turned over, back facing her: "You sure talk a lot, woman. Just go to sleep already."
Jane really had a million ’grass mud horses’ [a homophonic metaphor for swearing in Chinese] galloping through her heart, trampling her into dust.
Damn it, it was him just now insisting on talking.
The next morning, Jane took him out for a stroll, sat on a boat ride, and also took a walk.
After lunch, Kay went to take a nap, and Jane chatted with her mother in the courtyard. When her mother urged her to take a rest, her phone rang.
After looking at the phone, she stood up and walked aside to answer the call.
The call was from Savannah; she didn’t want to answer, but didn’t want the other party to think she was afraid of her.
"I know, I have your number saved in my phone."
"Hmm... Can I talk to you for a bit?"
Jane pouted: "I’m currently with my boyfriend, maybe..."
"It won’t take much of your time, just come out and meet me."
Jane sighed and ultimately nodded: "I can’t go to the New District today, you come to me instead."
"There’s a coffee shop near your house entrance; I’m already here, come over."
After hanging up, Jane snorted, they were preparing to trap her.
She went back to her room to change clothes, but Kay was sleeping inside.
He was sleeping soundly; she had no reason to wake him up and kick him out.
Anyway, he was asleep... he probably... wouldn’t see, right?
With that thought, she tip-toed to open her suitcase and found a simple dress.
She crept to the window to pull the curtains, then glanced at him to make sure he was asleep before turning around and changing with her back to him.
When Kay opened his eyes, she had already taken off her upper garments.
He smirked, watching her without making a sound.
