Chapter 359: Regret

As the lamps were first lit, dots of light shone through the various windows of the dormitory building, and the two tall magnolia trees in front of the entrance stood like two loyal guards protecting this quiet corner of the campus.

After parking the car, Shen Yan followed behind Hao Anqi, carrying two storage bags.

Hearing the surrounding whispers, Hao Anqi couldn't help but ask, "Is that car one you just bought? Does it really cost over a million?"

Shen Yan did not offer much explanation, nodding in admission: "The car is mine; the on-the-road price was around three million."

Hao Anqi didn't reply further, walking forward with a heavy heart.

After registering with the dormitory warden, Shen Yan escorted Hao Anqi to her dorm, where Wen Xiaoyan and the other two girls inside looked at each other, not understanding why he had appeared here.

Could it be that the two of them had rekindled their old flame?

Putting down the storage bags and looking at the charming face before him that resembled a fox, Shen Yan's thousands of words simply converged into one sentence: "Take care of yourself, I'm leaving now."

Hao Anqi opened her mouth, but the words that reached her throat were swallowed back down.

Even though she was deeply attached to this man and thought of him day and night, now that she had actually met him, she didn't know what to say.

After all, it was she who had initiated the breakup.

Once the door closed again, the three girls could no longer suppress the burning fire of gossip in their hearts, and Wen Xiaoyan asked excitedly, "An Qi, don't tell me you've made up with Shen Yan?"

The infatuated Wen Qingqing expressed that it was impossible: "When I was browsing the forum of the school next door, I heard that Shen Yan seems to have a new girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Hao Anqi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; although she had fantasized that such a day might come, she hadn't expected it to become reality so quickly.

At this very moment, it felt as if a sharp knife had been plunged into Hao Anqi's heart, the wound bleeding profusely, and she immediately turned and rushed out, wanting to personally verify this situation with Shen Yan.

The parking space downstairs of the dormitory building.

When Shen Yan came down, several girls dressed in flashy, heavily made-up attire were surrounding the Maybach, striking various charming poses and taking photos with their phones to commemorate the moment.

This behavior was not unfamiliar to Shen Yan; he already imagined that the photos of these people with the luxury car would soon appear in their social media feeds.

Accompanied by a carefully crafted caption, they would show their friends their so-called "exquisite life."

Thinking about it was somewhat amusing.

He pressed the unlock button, and the car lights lit up accordingly.

Under the astonished gazes of the girls, Shen Yan sat into the car with effortless grace, and one sharp-eyed girl immediately said with a smile, "Handsome, I'm just a bit bored, could you take me out for a drive?"

Another girl was even bolder, leaning directly against the car door, her body tilted slightly forward to perfectly present her curvaceous figure, and she said with amorous eyes, "Handsome, want to get to know each other? I'm still single, you know."

As she spoke, the girl's eyes emitted ten thousand volts of electricity, a naked display of flirtation.

It was as if she wanted to stun Shen Yan.

Watching these girls who were actively hitting on him, Shen Yan found it secretly amusing.

Sure enough, an ordinary person picking up girls and a rich person picking up girls were two completely different concepts.

An ordinary man often needs to spend a massive amount of time and energy to pick up girls, while a rich man only needs to drive a luxury car, and countless women will take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms.

"I have things to do in a while, let's meet another time."

Shen Yan replied politely, then closed the car door.

However, just as he pressed the start button, Shen Yan noticed Hao Anqi running toward him like a gust of wind; with this vigorous movement, her full chest bounced with all sorts of charming curves.

She pulled open the passenger door and sat right in.

Those fox eyes stared fixedly at Shen Yan.

"I heard you have a new girlfriend?"

"Yeah!" Shen Yan admitted in a deep voice.

Hearing this fact with her own ears, Hao Anqi felt a complex mix of emotions; Shen Yan's speed in changing his heart was ridiculously fast, and in just ten days, he had already sought a new love.

Yet she was still trapped deep within it, unable to extricate herself.

"Is it Chen Shanni, or Yu Youwei?" Hao Anqi pressed.

She did not take Wu Yue'er into consideration; after all, the two of them had been as close as brothers before, and even the possibility of Luo Qiqi was much higher than that of Wu Yue'er.

"It's Shanni!" Shen Yan replied casually.

In an instant, tears burst from Hao Anqi's eyes like a breached flood; although Chen Shanni was more suitable for Shen Yan than she was and matched him in every aspect, she just felt her heart twitching with pain.

Shen Yan couldn't stand seeing women cry, so he couldn't help but say, "Stop crying. You used to be so lively and cheerful, how did you become so sentimental now?"

"It's all your fault." Hao Anqi shed tears, accusing Shen Yan of his conduct.

"It's only been ten days since we broke up, and you've already changed your affections so quickly. You heartless flirt, you have no conscience, only caring about your own carefree pleasure."

"Sob sob sob! I hate you to death."

Shen Yan was speechless; he suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve his worries, but since he didn't have the habit of smoking, he had to take a lollipop out of his pocket.

He tore open the wrapper.

And slowly savored the sweetness within.

Hao Anqi continued to speak with a sobbing tone, as if she wanted to pour out all the pain in her heart at once.

"Do you know how I've spent these days? I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, and my mind was full of you, you bastard. And you still have the leisure to flirt with others."

Using her mouth to scold Shen Yan didn't feel satisfying enough, so she used her hands to pound his arm.

However, Shen Yan's next sentence made her lose all her confidence: "You were the one who proposed the breakup, don't act like I abandoned you."

Uh...

Hao Anqi's sobbing stalled, and she immediately displayed the unreasonable side of a woman: "I don't care, it's your fault. Why do you haunt me like a ghost all day, wandering around in my head?"

"Sigh!" After a long sigh, Shen Yan adjusted the seat back and pulled Hao Anqi over to sit on his lap; looking at the pretty face close at hand, Shen Yan reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You must have some serious illness. You said you were tired when you were with me, and now that we've broken up, you're moping around. You're really hard to deal with."

Hao Anqi buried her head in the crook of his neck, inwardly feeling that she was indeed sick—being pretentious on one hand, while unable to let go of her feelings for Shen Yan on the other.

She had always considered herself an optimist; even after the breakup, she thought she would eat and drink as usual and be able to walk out of this relationship after a while.

But it wasn't until just now, hearing that Shen Yan had a new girlfriend, that she realized she had overestimated herself; she simply couldn't forget Shen Yan, and as time fermented, these feelings had only become more profound.

Deep into her bones!
