Born again who will fall in love?-Chapter 16 - : It’s None of Your Business

Chapter 16: It's None of My Business

Jiang Qin in his previous life was a student at Linchuan University, majoring in International Trade for his undergraduate studies. That's why in this life, he would still go to Linchuan because he was extremely familiar with that city.

When starting a business, it would be more convenient to begin in a familiar city.

Upon hearing Jiang Qin's response, Feng Nanshu rubbed her face and then stared blankly at the snacks bag she had just shown off, lost in thought.

At this moment, the Nokia phone on the table suddenly blinked, and Jiang Qin unlocked it to find a QQ message from Wang Huiru.

"Jiang Qin, Chu Siqi scored 632 on her exam. How about you?"

"She asked you to inquire about me, didn't she?"

"Well, you guessed it right. It was indeed her who asked me."

"My matters have nothing to do with her. Just tell her that."

Jiang Qin typed out a line using the physical keyboard and hit send.

Wang Huiru was left baffled. "Jiang Qin, do you have some deep-seated grudge against Chu Siqi? Even as classmates, it's normal to ask about each other's scores. You don't have to be like this all the time."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You're being petty!"

Jiang Qin became more adept with the physical keyboard as he typed, "If I'm petty, then I am. Let her think what she wants."

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

"Why though?"

Jiang Qin switched to one-handed typing, "She just thinks that the whole world should love her, that everyone should bend over backward for her. Whatever she says goes, and no one can go against her. I don't want to be friends with someone like that. It's annoying, really annoying."

Wang Huiru remained silent for a while. "I know Siqi can be a bit arrogant, but isn't that part of her charm?"

"Being a bit arrogant is fine, but she crosses the line. Like that day on Center Street, ordering me not to leave in front of so many people. Who does she think she is? We're not even friends, and she thinks she can stop me from leaving. Does she believe the world revolves around her?"

"Why don't you talk to her and ask her to change?"

Jiang Qin furrowed his brow, "Why should I waste my time on her? If this friendship doesn't work, I'll find another one. What's wrong with that?"

Wang Huiru's response was noticeably delayed, "There's nothing wrong with it, but are you sure you're not deliberately saying this out of spite because of unrequited love?"

"I've made it clear, and you still think like this? I bet Chu Siqi thinks the same way, that I'm rejected, and I can't handle it, so I'm playing hard to get."

"I didn't mean it that way, Jiang Qin, please don't misunderstand!"

Jiang Qin continued to type on the physical keyboard, "Wang, to be honest, I don't want to say anything more to her. I'm only explaining so much because of you, you know?"

Upon seeing this response, Wang Huiru's heart softened instantly. "Alright, I'll talk to her and ask her not to disturb you for a while."

"It's not for a while, it's forever."

"Jiang Qin, saying it like this is too hurtful. When she rejected you, she left a door open and even encouraged you. Can't you be a bit warmer towards her?"

"Damn it, every time this comes up, I'm speechless. What do you mean, 'there's hope if you persist'? How the hell is that encouragement? She doesn't have feelings for me; she just hasn't met someone she genuinely likes yet, 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."

"..."

"Wang, sometimes it's better to be blunt and hurtful with words. It helps cut ties cleanly and prevents both parties from harboring unrealistic fantasies."

Upon reading this message, Wang Huiru fell into silence because she suddenly recalled her conversation with Chu Siqi on Center Street.

"Siqi, what will you do if you meet someone you truly like in the future?"

"Then I'll definitely choose the one I like. I can't pick Jiang Qin just because he's been persistent, can I?"

She knew Jiang Qin was absolutely right, so she didn't have any grounds to argue and even felt herself leaning toward Jiang Qin's perspective.

"Alright, Jiang Qin, I know what to do now."

"Wang, it's been pleasant chatting with you, but please don't come to me again for her matters in the future. I don't want to ruin my mood for the day, alright?"

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine, as long as we're clear."

After ending the conversation, Wang Huiru sighed and her gaze became somewhat dazed.

Indeed, Jiang Qin seemed to have no attachment left for her best friend, and it had turned into aversion and rejection.

But what about Feng Nanshu? Was she really in a relationship with Jiang Qin? This was a young lady who was chauffeured in a Bentley, a dream girl for countless boys at South City High School. The boys who secretly admired her at school could line up all the way from South City High School to the city center. Yet, Jiang Qin held her face in his hands, and she transformed into someone cute and capricious beyond belief. Who would believe such a thing if it were told?

Even Wang Huiru wanted to ask one question: Why? Jiang Qin was good-looking, tall, and academically successful, but she still couldn't believe that he could win over Feng Nanshu.

Feng Nanshu was famously aloof at school, not speaking to anyone and exuding an aura of unapproachable nobility.

Forget about pursuing her; some boys felt a sense of inferiority just by getting close to her. They wondered how they could dare to have such aspirations and if they even knew what they looked like. It just didn't make sense!

Wang Huiru felt that she was increasingly unable to understand Jiang Qin, and then she couldn't help but think about her best friend.

Siqi was still acting haughty and waiting for Jiang Qin to regret, waiting for Jiang Qin to apologize, not knowing that so much had happened in just half a month.

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

"I just asked Jiang Qin, and he said his matters have nothing to do with you. He told you not to contact him anymore."

"Jerk, how can 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 a house in Maple Green, Chu Siqi, dressed in pajamas, was infuriated. She threw the career guidance brochure she was holding in her hand forcefully against the opposite wall, and tears welled up in her eyes.

That Jiang Qin, he was angry with himself just because she rejected him! Yes, he succeeded; she was indeed infuriated.

But didn't he suffer all this time? It was just a matter of pride.

In fact, Chu Siqi had her reasons for asking Wang Huiru to inquire about Jiang Qin's scores. She wanted to give Jiang Qin a way out and hint that he shouldn't compete with her anymore.

Because lately, she had been growing more and more annoyed. She kept staring at her phone, hoping for Jiang Qin to send a message saying, "I was wrong."

It was becoming her obsession.

She hadn't cared that much about Jiang Qin before, but now he occupied her thoughts entirely. Chu Siqi didn't like this version of herself, nor did she like the feeling of being out of control.

But she hadn't expected Jiang Qin to be so heartless. He really didn't know what was good for him!

Fine, no more contact it is. Whoever contacts first is the loser!
