Nian Ueno

Jiang Weixi simply stopped moving, sat back down, and continued eating, completely ignoring him.

This completely indifferent attitude annoyed Xie Ziheng, so he sat down opposite her and leaned forward slightly.

"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You must feel bad being left out like this, right? It's better to back down now than to keep dragging this out and only humiliate yourself."

Jiang Weixi lifted her eyelids, her gaze clear and cold: "I really don't understand, what does all this have to do with you? Whether Ji Xingzhou and I break up or not is none of your business!"

"You're occupying the position of Ji Xingzhou's girlfriend, which is getting in the way of Zhenzhen. Her business is my business."

Jiang Weixi sneered, "Don't you like Xu Manzhen? Why are you hoping Ji Xingzhou will get back together with her? You keep telling me to break up with Ji Xingzhou. Do you like Xu Manzhen or me?"

Jiang Weixi said that on purpose, just to annoy him. She knew Xie Ziheng didn't like her, but she just couldn't understand Xie Ziheng's actions.

Xie Ziheng paused for a moment, a fleeting, unreadable emotion flashing across his eyes. He sneered, "You little country bumpkin are quite confident. What kind of woman haven't I seen? Why would I be interested in a country girl from the mountains like you?"

Jiang Weixi deliberately patted her chest, pretending to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good. I thought Young Master Xie had really taken a liking to me, and he kept coming to me to provoke me and try to get my attention."

"Hehe." Xie Ziheng chuckled a few times: "You've got some nerve, saying things like that."

Jiang Weixi rolled her eyes: "Want me to break up with Ji Xingzhou? It's simple, just give me 100,000..."

Xie Ziheng raised an eyebrow: "You really are a materialistic and vain woman. But, in your eyes, is Ji Xingzhou only worth 100,000 yuan?"

Jiang Weixi: "If you're willing to give more, I don't mind."

Xie Ziheng: "Sure, I..."

Jiang Weixi stared at him, a hint of anticipation appearing in her eyes.

But Xie Ziheng was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"What are you talking about?"

Ji Xingzhou appeared behind the two of them at some point, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Just now, not far away, he saw Jiang Weixi and Xie Ziheng sitting face to face chatting happily, so he subconsciously walked over to listen to what the two were saying.

Xie Ziheng and Ji Xingzhou had a lukewarm relationship; after all, they were former rivals in love, and could only maintain a semblance of harmony.

Xie Ziheng stood up and left.

Ji Xingzhou looked at Jiang Weixi, who shook her head: "It's nothing."

Ji Xingzhou frowned, sensing that there was some secret between the two.

A boy came over and called to Ji Xingzhou, "Xingzhou, come on, let's play together, bring your girlfriend too."

Seeing that Jiang Weixi was sitting there bored, Ji Xingzhou gestured for her to come with him.

Jiang Weixi followed him into the small hall.

A group of young people gathered together and started playing an adventurer's game.

"Xingzhou, come, sit here."

"Zhenzhen, sit here with me."

Ji Xingzhou and Xu Manzhen's mutual friend deliberately tried to bring them together.

"Oh dear, there are no seats available, Miss Jiang, please sit here."

Zhao Feimu gave up her seat, gripped Jiang Weixi's wrist tightly, and pressed her shoulder to make her sit down.

Zhao Feimu walked over and sat down on the other side of Xu Manzhen.

After shuffling the cards, Li Jiaoyu began dealing. "Alright, everyone sit down, the game is about to begin."

Jiang Weixi could tell that today's event was designed to bring Ji Xingzhou and Xu Manzhen together, and the questions were all deliberately set to evoke memories of the past between the two.

They chatted, laughed, and joked, while Jiang Weixi watched like an outsider, unable to join in the conversation.

She didn't want to talk; she just felt mentally exhausted.

Xu Manzhen lost the game.

Li Jiaoyu smiled and handed the wine glass to Ji Xingzhou: "Xingzhou, Zhenzhen has already drunk three glasses, why don't you drink this one for her?"

Ji Xingzhou glanced at Xu Manzhen's flushed cheeks and saw that her eyes were already tipsy. He took the glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Weixi watched this unfold, her fingers clenching together. She suddenly remembered the time she lost a game at the bar, and he watched her drink five glasses of wine with a blank expression.

Whether someone loves you or not, it's really obvious.

To be honest, Jiang Weixi envied Xu Manzhen, envying that so many people favored her and always stood by her side to protect her.

Xu Manzhen seemed to have really drunk too much. She stood up unsteadily and waved her hand, saying, "I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore, my head is spinning."

Zhao Feimu helped her up: "Zhenzhen, are you alright?"

Xu Manzhen's voice was slurred: "I can't, the alcohol is taking effect. Feifei, take me home."

Li Jiaoyu stood up: "It's getting late, it's already midnight, let's call it a day and get together again another time."

Everyone got up and left.

Jiang Weixi followed behind Ji Xingzhou.

His gaze remained fixed on the fiery red figure in front of him.

Doorway.

Zhao Feimu helped Xu Manzhen into Ji Xingzhou's car, which could only seat four people.

Li Jiaoyu rushed up to grab the last seat, then rolled down the window and smiled apologetically at Jiang Weixi, "Oh dear, it seems there's no room left. Why don't you take a taxi?"

Xu Manzhen sat in the passenger seat, seemingly asleep against the back of the seat.

Ji Xingzhou turned his head to look at him, opened his mouth, but hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

Xu Manzhen leaned to the side, resting her head on his shoulder, and mumbled with a frown, "A-Zhou, my head hurts so much."

She acted coquettishly very naturally.

Ji Xingzhou was taken aback, suddenly remembering how she used to lean on his shoulder and act coquettishly when they were deeply in love, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Weixi sensibly stepped back: "You guys go ahead, I'll take a taxi."

Ji Xingzhou looked up and glanced at it.

Jiang Weixi had already turned around and walked away.

She stood under the dim streetlights, her figure slender.

Ji Xingzhou sent her a message.

[I'll take them back first. Let me know when you get to your dorm.]

[Jiang Weixi: Mm.]

Ji Xingzhou drove away; she wouldn't dwell on such trivial matters.

Jiang Weixi squatted down by the roadside, a habit she had long since adopted.

Anyway, it's not the first time I've been abandoned.

This place is a bit far from the school, and I haven't had a car to pick up passengers for a long time.

September has a large temperature difference between day and night.

It was nearly midnight when the night wind blew by, and the chill seeped into my pores.

After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, someone finally accepted the order, and a taxi drove up from the other end of the road.

Jiang Weixi waved, and the car stopped in front of her.

The car looks like a legitimate taxi.

She didn't think too much about it, took a seat in the back row, and gave her address.

After driving for ten minutes, it got darker and darker outside the window, and even the streetlights disappeared.

She opened the map and found that the route had deviated, something was wrong.

Jiang Weixi glanced at the rearview mirror, and the man's eyes met hers. The driver was a young man with a diagonal scar on his brow and a fierce look in his eyes.

A chill ran through her, and she felt an urge to get off the bus. Instinctively sensing danger, she tried to call Ji Xingzhou.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off."
