Who could have thought that someone who used to boast about having an "allergy to girls" would now take the initiative to "pat someone's head" in front of others.
Jiang Wei walked back in a daze.
If it were someone else, they might have chased after him to get to the bottom of it, but Jiang Wei just couldn't do that. Whenever she encountered something unpleasant, she only liked to swallow it in her belly and digest it silently. Confiding was never her style.
She didn't think about going to Yi Ming for an explanation.
Fifteen years of being together day and night, it was she herself who kept rejecting him.
Now if he really found the right person, what right did she have to go ask him for an explanation...

Yi Ming pushed open the door of the dormitory. Qin Hao, who was in the upper bunk, was intensely playing a mobile game. When he caught a glimpse of the familiar face from the corner of his eye, Qin Hao was so startled that his hand jerked violently in the game, sending the concealed weapon flying right into his teammate's head.
"Damn, 'D University's Number One', where are you throwing your darts? Are you blind?"
The voice chat in the online game instantly erupted with a barrage of vulgar cursing. Qin Hao had no time to deal with his teammate. He scrambled up in a fluster and yelled down, "Yi Ming? I'm not seeing things right? How come you're back?"
In fact, Qin Hao's surprise was nothing out of the ordinary.
The reason Yi Ming enrolled in D University, apart from being together with Jiang Wei in the same university, was also because he still had a home in this city. The house in D City was left to him by his mother. When Yi Ming was seven, his mother separated from his father, and later followed her new partner overseas.
Not long after enrolling, Yi Ming moved into an apartment building less than a kilometer from the school, and rarely returned to the dormitory.
"Mm," Yi Ming murmured, which counted as answering him.
Then he flung his backpack towards the desk and flopped down on the bed, crossing his long, gangly legs on the railing at the foot of the bed.
"What's this, quarreling with Jiang Wei again?"
Qin Hao had known about Yi Ming and Jiang Wei's situation since the first day he moved into the dormitory. That day, when Qin Hao arrived at the dormitory carrying his luggage, Yi Ming was leaning against the doorframe, blocking a group of senior female schoolmates who came to help tidy up and bring gifts at the door, ruthlessly dashing their hopes:
"You're too short, I'm afraid it'll affect my offspring in the future."
"You're too tall, I'm afraid the renovation fees for the door frames in the future."
"You won't work either, your skin isn't white enough, it should at least be whiter than mine."
"As for you..." The last schoolmate stared at him with round eyes, gazing at him full of longing. Who would've thought that flirtatious guy would smirk and continue, "Your figure won't do, forget it."
Although Yi Ming was handsome, provoking three women at once naturally didn't end well for him.
"Little junior brother, there's no such woman in the world that meets your description, give it a rest, don't fail to appreciate what you have, or you'll regret it later."
"There is one, my future wife is like that..."
Yi Ming pursed his lips and smiled. He wagged his phone, and the girl in the wallpaper was wearing a white dress, her smile as dazzling as the summer sun.

Qin Hao was just thinking of that scene back then when Yi Ming in the lower bunk suddenly spoke up.
"We didn't fight."
Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief, patting his chest and laughing, "That's good then."
"We broke up."
"Ah?!"
Yi Ming's sudden words made Qin Hao gasp sharply, he almost tumbled down from the upper bunk.
To Qin Hao, Yi Ming and Jiang Wei were a pairing he had looked favorably on early on. Although the two were still stuck in the stage of tormenting each other, refusing to take the next step, this pairing was destined to be together sooner or later, just based on Qin Hao's shrewd judgment.
As the saying goes, failing many times grants an understanding of the rules; getting duped deeply enough makes one half an expert swindler.
Just based on Qin Hao's own dismal record of fruitlessly pursuing over a dozen girls in high school for three years, he felt that the pairing he was cheering for wouldn't fall apart.
"Chasing her for over ten years, and now you're ready to give up? Don't like her anymore?"
Qin Hao had to probe the male lead's true intentions.
"I do like her," Yi Ming drew out his words and sighed, "My dear Jiang Wei is so cute, how could I possibly not like her..."
Although these words sounded a bit mushy, they still made Qin Hao happy deep down.
Fortunately, the pairing was still on.
Qin Hao: "Listen to big brother. If you want to know whether you can pursue a girl, first you need to know if she likes you. And the unfailing way to verify this is just one thing."
"What is it?"
"See if she gets jealous of you."
Yi Ming was puzzled for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
"You dummy, you said Jiang Wei suddenly started distancing herself from you. You have to think, isn't it possible that one day you were flirting with some married woman, and Jiang Wei caught you red-handed, so she suddenly acted abnormal..."
Yi Ming was stunned for a moment. It was impossible he was caught cheating, his heart belonged to Jiang Wei in this life, that would never change.
But speaking of acting abnormal... after thinking for a few seconds, something did happen.
