~4 min read 764 words

"I passed the interview, Jiang Tu."

Jiang Tu gave a faint "mm," "Congratulations."

"Do you... have nothing else you want to say to me? Let's celebrate together tonight, I'll cook," Song Ziqi said.

"You should celebrate with your friends; I have a dinner engagement tonight and no time. Also, your house has been renovated and the formaldehyde has been treated; you can move in. I will arrange for a moving company to help you move tomorrow. Alright, I have things to do here, I'll stop talking now." After Jiang Tu finished speaking briefly, he didn't give Song Ziqi a chance to speak again and hung up the phone directly.

Song Ziqi stared at her phone, lost in thought for a moment.

Was this him chasing her away?

How could Jiang Tu be so heartless and indifferent to her feelings?

He...

Why wasn't he as tolerant of her as he used to be?

At this moment, she suddenly felt a heavy discomfort in her heart, with a vague feeling that she and Jiang Tu would become strangers in the future.

Song Ziqi's face gradually turned pale.

She sent a WeChat message to Jiang Tu, "Jiang Tu, are you going to distance yourself from me too?"

After graduating from university, she could accept the separation from classmates across the country.

But she could not accept someone she had known for so many years distancing themselves from her.

And then...

Dividing the affection he had for her among others.

This message, unexpectedly, sank like a stone into the sea; Jiang Tu did not reply.

She didn't know if Jiang Tu saw it and didn't want to reply, or didn't see it, or perhaps saw it but forgot to reply because he was busy.

Song Ziqi returned to Jiang Tu's house; the house was pitch black.

She turned on the lights and saw the darkness of the room.

Jiang Tu was not at home, nor had he returned.

Yesterday, Jiang Tu was still at home cooking dinner for her.

Someone who didn't know how to cook had actually cooked for her personally; although the food didn't look appetizing, she could feel Jiang Tu's care and affection for her.

But...

How could Jiang Tu change so suddenly today?

An hour later, Song Ziqi lay on the bed, her mind restless.

While chatting aimlessly with a friend, she scrolled through her Moments.

Suddenly, she saw the post Jiang Tu had just made.

Her expression changed abruptly, and she sat up from the bed.

Jiang Tu was engaged!

The reason he was busy tonight was because he had returned to the Jiang family and gotten engaged; the person he was engaged to was a socialite with an excellent background.

The two could be said to be a perfect match.

Song Ziqi suddenly felt it was difficult to breathe.

No wonder he asked her to move out tomorrow.

Because of the engagement, he had to draw a line between them.

Not long ago, when he went to K City to find her, he even said he had waited for her for several years just so she could nod and be with him; as long as she nodded, he would never see those women he was just playing around with again, and he had only been with those women to make her jealous.

She knew very well that Jiang Tu hadn't lied to her and that what he said was true.

But now...

She immediately called Jiang Tu.

Jiang Tu answered.

"You're engaged. Jiang Tu, didn't you say you didn't like arranged marriages? Didn't you say you wanted to pursue love? Didn't you say the one you liked was me? How could you just get engaged like that? Do you like her?"

A series of questions followed.

Jiang Tu chuckled, "I do like you, but that doesn't mean that liking you requires me to keep foolishly waiting for you in place. Everyone knows my fiancée is a good girl; I might just grow to like her in the future."

"Jiang Tu, don't lie to yourself, you..." Song Ziqi didn't know how to continue.

She felt truly uncomfortable in her heart.

Jiang Tu seemed to see through Song Ziqi's thoughts across the phone and the distance, "You want to get close to Qiao Muting on one hand, while still wanting me to wait for you in place? Song Ziqi, I, Jiang Tu, am not a fool."

"I... it's not what you think, I... I just didn't want you to make the wrong decision." Song Ziqi suddenly felt the embarrassment of having her thoughts exposed.
