"I didn’t," Xu Chenxi’s voice suddenly grew a lot louder.
"If they really liked each other that much, they wouldn’t have broken up so easily. Since they did break up, it only shows that their feelings weren’t that strong. And there’s no need to cling to someone persistently after a breakup." Feeling increasingly confident in her logic, she continued, "Besides, they are already broken up. Even if I like him, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?"
"You heard all that?"
Then Shen Weiyi’s gaze suddenly shifted behind her.
"Deal with your own emotional debts, please."
Xu Chenxi’s breath hitched, and she had an ominous premonition. Her movements stiff, she turned around only to see Jiang Zhiyi and Gu Xun, along with a group of people, standing behind her, especially Jiang Zhiyi whose facial expression was frighteningly cold.
Xu Chenxi’s face turned pale, as if the warmth of her blood had retreated in an instant.
Jiang Zhiyi didn’t wait for her to finish her sentence and cut her off, "You’re right, we are not blood-related siblings, so from now on, you better stop calling me brother. Also, I don’t like you. I have someone I like."
He seemed eager to clear the air.
And as he said this, his gaze turned earnestly pleasing in the direction of Shen Weiyi.
Was this considered a public declaration of love and loyalty?
The latter, however, didn’t even spare him an extra glance and simply walked away dragging Qin Zhen with her.
"Brother!" Xu Chenxi stepped forward, pulling at his sleeve, trying to explain.
But at that moment, Jiang Zhiyi had no time for her, shaking off her hand and quickly chasing after Shen Weiyi. "Yao Yao, I really didn’t know she liked me before, don’t be angry."
"You can’t reject me just because someone else likes me; it’s unfair to me. I’m innocent." His voice wasn’t deliberately subdued, and the people around could hear it.
The looks the crowd gave Xu Chenxi became increasingly strange.
This wasn’t a case of the new student clinging to Jiang Xiaocao; it was clearly Jiang Xiaocao who couldn’t forget about the new student.
Moreover, their breakup seemed to have something to do with Xu Chenxi.
Could it be because she liked Jiang Xiaocao, so she secretly did something underhanded, causing misunderstandings between the couple, leading to Jiang Xiaocao and his girlfriend’s breakup?
Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Behind her, Xu Chenxi’s face was as white as paper, her body teetering on the verge of collapse, her eyes filled with shame and humiliation.
How could he, how could he treat her this way?
On the other hand, Shen Weiyi stopped in her tracks and turned to the person behind her, "Jiang Zhiyi, can you stop following me?"
"No, I have to explain things clearly to you." Otherwise, losing his wife, whom could he turn to?
"There’s nothing to explain." Their issues weren’t just about Xu Chenxi; even if he rejected the other party publicly today, it wouldn’t mean their relationship could go back to the way it was.
"Who says? You’ve misunderstood me; we have to talk things out today." She had been ignoring him for several days, and he was nearly driven mad.
With that, he turned to Qin Zhen at her side, "I need to borrow her for a bit."
"Sure, you two talk it out, take your time, I’ll head back to the classroom," Qin Zhen said with a smile, waving at them and unceremoniously leaving Shen Weiyi behind.
Jiang Zhiyi then grasped Shen Weiyi’s wrist tightly, as if afraid she would run away...
