Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Lin Qingxue was momentarily stunned upon hearing the voice.

The hand that had been in the pocket loosened and fell to the side.

Lin Qingxue turned to look at Li Wenyan, her voice very soft.

"It's nothing, I was just a little late."

"Let's go to the cafeteria."

"Don't rush, isn't this Brother Kei?"

As Li Wenyan stepped forward, he kept glancing at Chen Jianji.

He had a smile on his face the whole time, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"How did you get into this mess? You look so disheveled!"

Chen Jianji glanced at him briefly before looking away, his voice cold.

"It's none of your business."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Qingxue again.

Chen Jianji looked at the woman who hadn't given him a single glance since Li Wenyan appeared.

His voice was low, hoarse, and gloomy.

"I don't want to repeat myself. You promised me at Liu Hai's house, so please keep your word."

"I'm cutting ties with you from now on. Don't come here to disgust me again."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Qingxue paused for a moment, then finally looked at Chen Jianji.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

"You're calling me disgusting?"

Chen Jianji looked at the two people in front of him with a cold smile.

He countered with, "Ask yourself, aren't the things you've done just that?"

Lin Qingxue's fingers twitched slightly, then she fell silent.

But Li Wenyan, who was standing to the side, sensed something was wrong.

He turned his head to look at Lin Qingxue.

"Xiaoxue, you went to Liu Hai's house, were you looking for him?"

"Didn't you tell me you didn't see him?"

These words were spoken.

Lin Qingxue finally came to her senses.

Chen Jianji could clearly see that she panicked for a moment, but it quickly disappeared.

She patiently explained.

"I only found out when I arrived that my tutor was Liu Hai's younger brother."

"I'm not familiar with that neighborhood. When you sent me the message, I hadn't found the place yet."

Her expression was calm, but as she spoke, her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Chen Jianji noticed this detail.

In her previous life, Lin Qingxue rarely lied, and on the few times she did, her body would unconsciously make these small movements.

The smile on Li Wenyan's face gradually faded.

He looked at Lin Qingxue, his expression gradually darkening.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"So what are you doing now? What did you promise him?"

"He just said he wanted to draw a line? Hmm?"

One question after another came from Li Wenyan's mouth.

His gaze kept shifting between the two of them.

Seeing his expression, Lin Qingxue showed a hint of helplessness.

"Ayan, it's not what you think."

"During this time, we received a lot of help from him, and I have recorded every single one in my ledger, which we will repay."

"I promised Liu Hai that I would give him the first tutoring fee and settle all the previous debts."

"I was just about to give it to him."

Lin Qingxue patiently explained.

In order to appease Li Wenyan, she did not hesitate to sever ties with Chen Jianji.

Lin Qingxue finished explaining, before he could even speak.

He continued, "Ayan, wait for me a moment. I'll finish these chores and then we'll go to the cafeteria."

trivia?

The hot wind brushed against Chen Jianji's cheeks, and even his breath felt stuffy.

But at that very moment, his heart felt as if it had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

It turns out that whenever Lin Qingxue is in front of Li Wenyan, she will unconditionally put him first.

And my own affairs, like those of others, are all trivial matters.

Chen Jianji watched as Lin Qingxue gradually walked up to him.

His lips, slightly chapped from exercise, curled up slightly as he extended his palm, which bore several red marks from nearly falling.

Chen Jianji's low, husky voice rang out.

"money."

Lin Qingxue stopped in her tracks.

She saw the determination and resolve in the other person's eyes.

Chan Kin-kei wasn't really after the money; he genuinely wanted to distance himself from her.

Lin Qingxue met his gaze, her expression indifferent.

She put her hands back into her pockets almost without hesitation.

She took out two brand-new 100-yuan bills that she had received after the tutoring session.

A gust of wind swept through the area, making the banyan trees rustle.

Under the banyan tree.

The boy, covered in bruises and grime, stubbornly stretched out his hand.

Before him stood a girl with indifferent eyes and a blank expression.

Lin Qingxue handed over two banknotes.

The moment she placed it in Chen Jianji's palm, her voice also rang out softly in the wind.

"From now on, we are even, and we will have nothing to do with each other."

She was talking about something trivial.

After saying that, he turned around without any hesitation and walked to Li Wenyan's side.

"Ayan, let's go eat."

Li Wenyan glanced at Chen Jianji with a gloomy expression before nodding.

He was the first to step away.

Lin Qingxue followed, and from beginning to end, she didn't give Chen Jianji a single glance.

Watching their figures gradually disappear into the distance, one after the other.

Chen Jianji's lips twitched slightly.

Lin Qingxue was truly humble in front of Li Wenyan.

It's as if no matter what kind of dissatisfaction her Ah Yan has.

She would try to appease and comfort him, even rushing to distance herself from him.

Chen Jianji gripped the two hundred-yuan bills in his hand tightly.

This is the girl I once cherished and carefully protected.

But in front of others, she always acts like she's worthless and ingratiating.

This scene truly left him feeling uneasy.

But thankfully...

Chen Jianji put the banknotes in his hand into his pocket and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally... we're even.

From now on, Lin Qingxue will no longer have any reason to bother him.

After all, aside from the names on her ledger, she usually doesn't actively interact with anyone.

now.

As if his obsession had been released, Chen Jianji felt a sense of relief.

The pains he had ignored gradually began to flare up.

Intense pain shot through my cheeks, arms, and calves.

Chen Jianji's face turned pale, and cold sweat immediately poured down his back.

He simply leaned against the flower bed and slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

Before he could catch his breath, a sudden downpour began from the previously clear sky.

Splash!

The raindrops fell quickly and heavily.

The students passing by were immediately thrown into an uproar and scattered in all directions.

Chen Jianji remained seated on the ground, tilting his head back and letting the rain wash over his face.

I wonder if others would think he's stupid if they saw him like this.

Chen Jianji was getting soaked in the rain when this idea suddenly popped into his head.

The rain that others would avoid at all costs was like a long-awaited rain to him, refreshing and invigorating.

At this moment, Chen Jianji was huddled in a corner of the flower bed, being drenched by the torrential rain. To outsiders, he looked like a drowned rat.

It's like a dog licking its wounds all by itself.

But only Chan Kin-kei himself knew.

At this moment, he finally welcomed the freedom he had waited for for ten years!
