Chapter 360: Why is there a bite mark on your neck?

Sniffing her nose and smelling the familiar lavender scent on Shen Yan, Hao Anqi's heart gradually calmed down, and she finally had the time to look at the interior of the car.

The colorful ambient lights were dreamlike and illusory, and every decoration was meticulously placed, giving one a romantic and warm feeling.

With Shen Yan's lazy personality, he couldn't come up with this kind of style.

It was clearly the handiwork of a girl.

There were even two astronaut ornaments on the center console, which made Hao Anqi feel deeply unsettled; the ones that used to be in that BMW were a pair of little pigs she had decorated herself, engraved with "Peace" and "Luck" respectively.

Sure enough, the new generation replaces the old.

As she thought about this, she began to cry aggrievedly again: "These were all set up for you by Chen Shanni, right?"

Shen Yan did not answer, wiped her tears again, and comforted her: "Stop crying, go back and get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow will be another beautiful day."

"Have you kissed her?" Hao Anqi continued to press.

Shen Yan remained silent.

Hao Anqi's heart tightened, and she asked again: "Have you... slept together?"

Facing this series of interrogations, Shen Yan still maintained his silence.

At this moment, Hao Anqi could finally no longer control her emotions.

She immediately began a new round of heartbroken sobbing.

The moonlight cast a silvery-white radiance, which, passing through the car window, was reflected in those beautiful and sorrowful fox eyes, just like a broken heart trembling in the darkness.

Shen Yan was somewhat agitated by the crying and simply said: "Why are you thinking about these things? You said before that being with me is very tiring. Since things have developed to this point, there is no need for you to dwell on the past. Pull yourself together and prepare to welcome a new life."

"Do you not feel even the slightest bit of reluctance to let me go?"

Tears swirled in Hao Anqi's eyes, giving her a pitiful and heart-wrenching appearance. Shen Yan did not hide anything and said bluntly: "I am not a good man; I am fickle and promiscuous. I like you, but I have also come to like someone else, and you have always had a knot in your heart. This relationship is destined to not be able to continue."

Hao Anqi hurriedly wiped her face, raised her head, and held up three fingers as if taking an oath: "I promise you, I will never let my imagination run wild again. Will you break up with her? From now on, I will listen to everything you say."

"I will cooperate however you want; whatever clothes you buy, I will wear them."

Only after drinking does one know the strength of the wine; only after loving does one know the weight of the affection.

At this very moment, Hao Anqi had a sudden realization: compared to those ethereal and illusory things, Shen Yan was the one she cherished and cared about the most. She did not want to lose Shen Yan.

"Sigh!" With another long sigh, Shen Yan indicated that the two of them really could not go back.

First love is certainly unforgettable, but he would not let go of Wu Yueer and Chen Shanni.

Hao Anqi did not understand why Shen Yan would make such a choice. He had only been with Chen Shanni for a few days; could they really be closer than the months of feelings between the two of them?

She was unwilling to let go just like that, so she snatched the lollipop out of Shen Yan's mouth.

She kissed him in one motion.

She even grabbed Shen Yan's hand and placed it on the winding and rugged Kunlun Mountains, where Shen Yan used to like the flowers, plants, and the various creatures scattered about the most.

However, Shen Yan no longer had that interest at this moment. He grabbed Hao Anqi's shoulders and said firmly: "Be rational, we really cannot go back."

"Why? Does she attract you that much?" Hao Anqi asked through her tears.

"The reasons for this are very complicated; I cannot explain them clearly."

This answer obviously could not satisfy Hao Anqi. She hugged Shen Yan, acting spoiled, cute, and pitiful, trying to use all sorts of ways to make Shen Yan change his mind.

But she never got her wish.

In her anger, she bit Shen Yan on the neck and left behind the words, "You bastard."

Then she got out of the car and left in sorrow.

Meanwhile, the heavily made-up girls outside the car had not yet left. Seeing Hao Anqi crying like a tear-stained mess, they couldn't help but mock: "Yo! Someone usually acts so high and mighty, but it turns out she was secretly planning to latch onto a rich man. What a pity, it looks like the other party isn't very satisfied with you."

Although there is no School Beauty Ranking at the Communication University of China, Hao Anqi's beauty made her famous throughout the school, and there were many who knew her.

As for Hao Anqi, who was admired by the vast majority of male students, the other girls had many grievances against her. Now that they had found an opportunity, they naturally could not miss the chance to kick someone while they were down.

Their mockery was as nasty as it could possibly be.

These words were like the sharp quills of a hedgehog, piercing deep into Hao Anqi's heart one by one, making her feel a wave of stinging pain and humiliation.

That's right!

Once upon a time, she had detested the behavior of girls latching onto rich men from the bottom of her heart, yet just now, she had been begging Shen Yan, this "rich man," for his affection.

And she had been rejected by the "rich man" to boot.

How truly ironic!

Watching the beautiful figure disappear into the dormitory building, Shen Yan sighed faintly. In truth, he had the heart to have Hao Anqi follow him, just like Yue'er and Chen Shanni.

But he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

He wasn't that shameless, and besides, she might not be willing.

Why would a charming and lovely beauty follow him without status or title?

Chen Shanni was just a special case.

Furthermore, Wu Yueer was one thing, but Chen Shanni might not agree to let someone else join.

Don't look at how Shen Yan spoke so grandiosely about hoping Hao Anqi could start a new life; the moment he thought about her potentially being intimate with other men, Shen Yan felt as if his heart were being pressed by a stone—heavy and suffocating.

Sigh! Thinking about it so much is useless anyway.

Shaking his head to cast off the worries in his mind, Shen Yan took out his phone and sent a message to Wu Yueer.

"I'm not bringing you any beggar's chicken."

Wu Yueer: "??? Is this how you treat your little baby?"

"If you're not bringing it, then don't. As if anyone cares."

"It's fattening to eat. Give it to the dogs; even dogs wouldn't eat it."

For some reason, Shen Yan's mood suddenly improved significantly. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he typed: "What I meant was, do you want beggar's chicken? I'll bring some back for you."

Wu Yueer: "Eat! (Sweat)"

Shen Yan: "Didn't you say even dogs wouldn't eat it?"

Wu Yueer: "Woof woof!"

What a silly girl!

After a chuckle, Shen Yan drove back, passing by Gourmet Street, where he bought three beggar's chickens; considering Chen Shanni liked desserts, he also picked up two boxes of cheese and mochi balls along the way.

Arriving at the Chen residence.

Wu Yueer was on the balcony washing clothes, which included quite a few of Shen Yan's garments, while Chen Shanni was lying on the sofa watching TV, covered by a gray blanket, though her complexion did not look very good.

Her lips were pale.

It was likely her period acting up.

Shen Yan placed the bags in his hands on the coffee table, took out the cheese and mochi balls, and signaled, saying: "I brought these for you; eat some if you're hungry. There's also beggar's chicken here, the taste is quite good."

"Thank you!"

Chen Shanni squeezed a smile onto her face; that weak expression had a hint of the charm of Lin Daiyu, pitiful to behold, and she tilted her head and shifted to the side.

She rested her head on Shen Yan's lap.

For some reason, she had become especially dependent on Shen Yan lately.

Wu Yueer, coming out from the balcony, saw this scene and couldn't help but tease: "Yo! I couldn't tell that Shanni could be so coquettish and clingy."

Caught red-handed, Chen Shanni's cheeks instantly flushed with a rosy glow; she sat up bashfully, said nothing, and opened the packaging of the beggar's chicken as if trying to cover up her embarrassment.

Wu Yueer giggled over there, and Shen Yan glanced at her sideways, saying: "Are you eating or not? If you don't, all of this will end up in my stomach."

"Hmph! You're just being biased."

Although Wu Yueer grumbled, she still walked quickly to the sofa, sat down, tore off a chicken leg, and began to gnaw on it.

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Shanni's mouth quietly curled into an imperceptible arc.

The taste of the beggar's chicken was like delicate Jiangnan scenery, gentle and lingering, with a rich aroma and tender meat; the three of them sat on the sofa, watching TV while eating with great relish.

Suddenly, Chen Shanni carefully noticed a tooth mark on Shen Yan's neck, so she pointed at it and asked: "How did you get that?"
