Chapter 86

Seeing the trio leaving, Yi Duanfang stood there dumbfounded. “What did you mean? It’s going to be me?”

Everyone stared at him with envious looks.

Chen Keren turned her head. The sunshine fell on her face, giving an air of unspeakable charm. Seeing the man standing in a daze, she chuckled and asked, “Do you want to stand there forever?”

Yi Duanfang immediately came to his senses. He threw the apples away and caught up with them.

Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin got into their own car while Yi Duanfang intended to drive his own car and he thought that Chen Keren would drive hers. Little did he expect that Chen Keren got into his car.

“That… you want to sit in my car?” It was unbelievable! Yi Duanfang sat in the driver’s seat while staring at Chen Keren with his eye opened wide.

Chen Keren smiled and said, “Am I not allowed?”

Yi Duanfang shook his head and said, “Of course not, but… you don’t like my car, do you? Don’t you think it’s too cheap and let you lose face?” He wished Chen Keren, this witch, could leave because he feared that she would seek revenge on him, yet he did not know that Chen Keren had fallen for him.

However, Chen Keren did not expect that Yi Duanfang was a silly boy. She felt a bit sad. “I thought that he cared about me and I would have some position in his heart, so he helped me like this.”

“Who knows that I’ve given him a clear hint to this extent, but he had no idea of it.”

Chen Keren was somewhat lost, but she was not disappointed, because even if Yi Duanfang did not fell for her, maybe his love seed had sprouted. Otherwise, how could he help her like this? Thinking of this, Chen Keren felt at ease and laughed out.

“Why are you laughing?” Yi Duanfang asked curiously while driving. He felt Chen Keren looked weird today, but he could not tell it. “Now she laughed out. Could it be because she was so happy to shake off Zheng Ban?”

Chen Keren calmly stopped smiling and put on an expressionless look as she did yesterday. “No, the president said that I could take a break in the afternoon, so I’m happy for it.”

…

Yi Duanfang rolled his eyes and thought, “Forget it if you don’t want to. Why did you tell me a lie? Chen Keren, when were you happy for such a trivial thing? Do you think you’re an ordinary girl?”

Chen Keren glanced at him. Seeing his unbelievable expression, she did not try to explain.

There was one who was dull in love. For example, one told his feeling for you in a euphemistic way, but you did not get it and even worried that you were carrying a torch for him. Actually, he thought he had been dating you for a long period of time.

Chen Keren was not anxious about it. Although she was worried about the so-called loved one Yi Duanfang had mentioned before, she did not like to be trapped in the past. Moreover, she often met Yi Duanfang, so she believed that she would win him back from the one who was unable to be with him.

Until she saw Yi Duanfang profess his love by committing suicide later, Chen Keren found that living in the Cao camp but with one’s heart in the Han camp was not a historical saying. Staying with Yi Duanfang did not mean anything and could not guarantee anything.

Wang Weixi drove the car, following Yi Duanfang’s all the way along. Chen Kexin laughed her head off in the front passenger seat.

Wang Weixi turned to look at her from time to time. Seeing her innocent smile, he always wore a curious look. Then he turned back quietly and a faint smile lifted the corners of his mouth. He did not expect that his wife would laugh until now.

It had been half an hour since they left the Creation Company. It was rare that she could keep her chin after laughing for half an hour.

“Dear, did Sister Duanfang understand what Keren said? He is so smart. I guess he must get it, right?” Chen Kexin held back her laughter and asked.

Chen Keren had not given an affirmative answer. He smiled faintly and said, “I’m not sure, because… you know, Duanfang is very sensitive in other aspects except… Do you know why he has never dated anyone?”

Chen Kexin shook her head and responded with surprise. “Never dated anyone?”

“How is this possible?” she thought, “Yi Duanfang really looked like a playboy.”

“Right, he is sensitive to other people’s affairs. But as for his own things, he either reacted slowly or ignored it. No matter how brilliant the woman was, the most beautiful girl in a class or a campus belle, they could not catch his attention.” At the thought of those women who were eager to attract him, Wang Weixi secretly felt pity for them.

These women were excellent. As for mediocre ones, it was impossible to appear in front of Yi Duanfang. Probably because Yi Duanfang was too beautiful, the competent or even more brilliant girls did not dare to talk to him.

“Then… Didn’t Sister Duanfang fell for someone?” Chen Kexin did not believe it. Seeing Duanfang give no response to Chen Keren’s love profession, she felt she had an obligation to help her sister get more information about his future brother-in-law.

Hearing this, Wang Weixi frowned, silent for a good while.

Chen Kexin was a bit anxious and asked, “What happened? Tell me, Did he?”

Wang Weixi was about to speak before Chen Kexin added, “You expression told me he had one. Don’t lie to me.”

Wang Weixi shook his head helplessly and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t lie to you.” Then he sorted out his thoughts and told her a story which happened when they were freshmen.

That story should be the only one where a trace of Yi Duanfang’s sadness could be found. It was a bit long and dramatic.

When they were freshmen, Yi Duanfang and Wang Weixi were assigned to a class because they chose the same major. And they also were told that they would live in the same dormitory. Both of them felt delightful, so they naturally sat together in the classroom.

Only a girl sat behind them. She looked ordinary. Maybe because of it, Yi Duanfang thought a girl with an ordinary look did know her limits and would not covet him. Hence, Yi Duanfang naturally talked to this girl.

The girl’s name was Zhang Ting. She was extrovert. Although she looked ordinary, she was pretty when she smiled. She had two cute protruding canine teeth. Yi Duanfang rarely attended class and he said that he decided to go to college for he was afraid that the introvert Wang Weixi did not have friends on campus.

There were many courses that needed students to take notes. Although he wanted to help Yi Duanfang, Wang Weixi took up the post as a monitor and sometimes had no time to take notes for him. Zhang Ting seemed thoughtful. Wang Weixi still remembered that the first time she gave Wang Weixi the notes she made for Yi Duanfang, she was not bashful and only naturally said, “It was not a big deal.” Her expression had been engraved on Wang Weixi’s mind, for everything was so natural. It seemed like what Yi Duanfang said—She knew her limits and did not intend to attract him.

Wang Weixi handed the notes to Yi Duanfang and described Zhang Ting’s performance. Yi Duanfang had a deeper affection for Zhang Ting. He even joked at the time. “I just like such a cool buddy.”

Later, Yi Duanfang got closer and closer with Zhang Ting. Even for a period of time, Zhang Ting was sick and had been recuperating in the dormitory all day. Yi Duanfang actually ran to attend class, regardless of the large and small classrooms. He did not miss a class and also diligently took notes.

At that time, Wang Weixi felt that Yi Duanfang was a little different. At least his attitude towards this girl was completely different from the past. He even thought that Yi Duanfang had fallen for the girl because he knew that the reason why Yi Duanfang hated taking classes most was that in some big classrooms, there were always girls who thought they were very beautiful and crazily tried to flirt with him. Every time he attended class with Yi Duanfang, they were encircled by different girls.

Wang Weixi particularly hated the perfume smell of girls. Such a kind of cheap perfume had a strong smell. Every time he smelt it, he wanted to vomit. Because of Yi Duanfang, he had to always get through every tough class in the unpleasant smell of perfume.

Yi Duanfang not only sent notes to Zhang Ting, but he even bought her fruit, meals, or something, which quickly caused the attention of some girls who liked him. Out of jealousy, they actually did some bad things to Zhang Ting. The most serious one was to push Zhang Ting down the stairs and let her lie in the hospital for two months.

Wang Weixi still remembered the guilty look on Yi Duanfang’s face. Although he told Yi Duanfang that Zhang Ting was hoping to see him and did not blame him, Yi Duanfang had already regarded himself as a dangerous person and thought that he made Zhang Ting suffer all of it, so he decided to stay away from her. Therefore, their love that should have been gorgeous in Wang Weixi’s eyes ended before it started.

After the story was over, the car in front finally stopped.

Wang Weixi always felt that he was not the one who was good at telling a story, but when he turned his face, he still saw the tears in Chen Kexin’s eyes.

“Sister Duanfang must like the girl very much, so he would rather leave alone than bring any trouble to her…” Chen Kexin said. She did not expect that Yi Duanfang, who seemed to have no sorrows on the surface, had the sad past buried in his heart.

Wang Weixi said while parking the car, “Everyone has an indescribable pain, right? Let’s go. Keren and Duanfang are waiting for us.”

Chen Kexin nodded thoughtfully and then suddenly asked, “Dear, the pain you can’t talk about… Is that called Tong Siqi?”

Wang Weixi was stunned and looked at Chen Kexin with a serious look. He could not deny it, but he also knew that if he did not deny it, Chen Kexin would definitely be paranoid again. Moreover, Tong Siqi’s love for him seemed to have been unable to be covered up.

Women would become horrible when they were serious.

“Of course not. My first love is nothing compared to what I have suffered.” He smiled slightly.

It was nothing. Actually, he did not mind what he had suffered. It was just that his first love had deeply hurt him.

Chen Kexin bit her lip and said softly, “I’m sorry, dear.”

Wang Weixi smiled and shook his head, saying, “Okay, let’s go.”

Chen Kexin nodded. She opened the door and got out of the car.
