Chapter 207

Chapter 207

Under the quiet night sky, there are still places that are not so peaceful, such as Su Qingwan’s home.

Su Qingwan’s parents were startled when their daughter suddenly rushed into her room and locked the door upon returning. What had happened?

A quarrel between the couple? That seemed like the only plausible explanation.

However, they didn’t ask her. Their daughter was the type who wouldn’t say a word if you asked directly, but would insist on telling you everything if you didn’t want to hear it.

Still worried, they sat in the living room, waiting for her to come out.

By around 11 p.m., the old couple started feeling sleepy, but their daughter’s bedroom door remained shut. Instead, there was a noise from the front door.

Mother Su got up, walked quickly to the door, and opened it to find a spirited young woman in uniform standing there.

“Xiao Qin, why are you here so late?”

“Auntie, I’m here to see Wanwan.”

“Wanwan, she...”

Mother Su didn’t know what to say, but since the two were close friends, maybe letting Xiao Qin talk to her would help.

Before she could finish, Qin Yunhe spoke up.

“Auntie, I know what’s going on. Let me talk to her.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

“Mm.”

Qin Yunhe walked straight towards Su Qingwan’s room. Despite appearing calm, she felt a bit nervous. After all, it was her best friend she was dealing with; she had to be careful with her words to avoid making things worse.

“Wanwan, it’s me.”

She knocked on the door and waited for about half a minute. If there was no response by then, it meant the door wouldn’t open.

After waiting for about ten seconds, she heard the sound of the door unlocking. The door opened slightly.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to talk.”

“I don’t want to talk. It’s all lies.”

“But I don’t even know why you’re angry. Have I ever lied to you over the years? Do you think I’m lying now?”

Inside, Su Qingwan’s low spirits were evident as she peered at Qin Yunhe through the crack. Finally, she opened the door.

She wanted to know the truth, even if it was something she didn’t want to hear.

“Come in.”

After entering, Qin Yunhe looked around and found that Wanwan was quite composed. At least nothing was broken; the room was still as neat and tidy as ever.

“I wouldn’t throw things around. I worked hard to earn the money to buy them. I wouldn’t even throw away a pen cap.”

“Of course our Wanwan wouldn’t throw things~”

Qin Yunhe genuinely felt that their current situation was pretty good. They didn’t disturb each other; when they wanted sweetness, they’d be affectionate for a while, and when it was time to work or study, they’d part ways.

“You two aren’t even in a romantic relationship, this is too... too... just too strange.”

“It’s not strange. This is a trial period. If he still likes me when he’s old enough, I’ll accept it and we’ll get married.”

“Have you considered my feelings?”

Hearing her best friend speak so lightly, Su Qingwan felt like she hadn’t considered her feelings at all. Xu Lin was still her nominal boyfriend after all.

“I said, if he still likes me. There’s still a year and a half until he graduates. You’ve seen the girls around him, he might not like me anymore by then.”

“Qin Yunhe... if that happens, won’t you...”

“Wanwan, marriage isn’t just about impulsiveness; it’s long-term, it’s about family. So, if he can change his heart, it’s the same even if we become a couple now.”

After hearing her best friend’s words, Su Qingwan felt a sudden surge of courage from her. Qin Yunhe could have used responsibility to tie Xu Lin down.

But she chose to let go, giving Xu Lin the freedom to make his own choice, not fearing any of the girls chasing after him.

“You’re that confident?”

“No, I don’t believe in myself. My temper isn’t particularly good, and I don’t have the skills to please a boyfriend like some girls do, but I believe in him.”

She believed in his words—that he would marry her, have a child with her, and create a family together.

Feeling her best friend’s determination, Su Qingwan’s anger completely dissipated, and her momentum deflated.

Normally, this would be like her best friend openly declaring war to steal her man, but it seemed like Qin Yunhe came first.

And with a huge advantage, far ahead of everyone else...

“Sister Qin, maybe I should just...”

“What? Did my rambling scare you?”

“No, I just think that you two being together is actually...”

“Don’t. Wanwan, you need to stand up and resist hostile forces, draw their fire.”

“Sister Qin... are you sure you’re doing this for my sake?”

“No, you’re an enemy too. I’m just temporarily cooperating with you. When it comes to men, even best friends have to be clear.”

“Qin Yunhe, you’ve been like this since we were kids! Always bullying me!”

“So, you’re still too naive.”

They stared at each other, but the previously tense atmosphere had now become lighter.

But Su Qingwan still clenched her fist. “But I still can’t accept this.”

“Then don’t accept it. We’re the same; I just jumped the gun a bit. Once others find out, I’ll probably become the public enemy.”
