Chapter 1585: Once You Were Indifferent to Me

~7 min read 1,393 words

Fast Chinese.

Tian Yuanyuan glared at him: "Back then, I brought you so many delicious things and you didn't want them, even secretly throwing them away. Now you're treating me to a meal—is it because your conscience finally kicked in?"

"Yes! My conscience hurts so much, it tortures me every day. Yuanyuan, give me a chance, let me treat you well and make up for the debt on my conscience!"

When they were in high school, Tian Yuanyuan often brought delicious food for Zihan and brought him breakfast.

Because he would sleep in, he often couldn't eat breakfast.

But Sheng Zihan didn't appreciate it; he would either dump it in front of her or throw it away behind her back.

Because of this, Tian Yuanyuan didn't know how many times she had cried, but Zihan didn't know, because she always cried secretly in places where no one was around.

But in front of their classmates, she would give Zihan a sound beating!

So Zihan never knew about Tian Yuanyuan's vulnerable side; he only saw her pestering him, and he avoided her as if she were a plague.

People are easily like this: being pestered becomes a habit, and one even finds it annoying!

But suddenly one day, discovering that the person who was pestering you has stopped, you don't feel relieved, but panicked!

Afraid of losing this habit.

Thus, one desperately tries to find back the feeling from the past, even though in the past, one was so dismissive of it.

Sheng Zihan began to be very attentive to Tian Yuanyuan.

He helped her get chopsticks, carefully wiped the bowls and dishes clean with a tissue, and placed them in front of her.

He even asked ingratiatingly: "How many times did you bring me breakfast back then? I'll treat you to that many meals to pay you back, how about it?"

"No, I don't care for it."

"Don't be like that, we're old classmates, give me some face, won't you..."

"This is my first time treating a girl to a meal, don't reject me!"

Tian Yuanyuan: "I don't believe you've never eaten with a girl before, stop with your glib tongue trying to fool me."

Zihan said: "I'm really not fooling you. I have eaten with girls before, but I've never treated them. You are the only girl I've ever treated, and you are also the girl I am willing to keep treating."

At this moment, the noodles arrived.

Tian Yuanyuan buried her head in her noodles and stopped talking; only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.

The next day.

Sheng Zihan came again.

"Yuanyuan, let's go, I'll treat you to noodles."

"You're actually treating me?"

"Of course, I, Sheng Zihan, keep my word, especially to you—I absolutely cannot go back on my promise."

Tian Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, then told him: "Wait for me a while, I'll be right back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, I'll wait until the end of time."

"Smooth talker!"

Tian Yuanyuan glared at him with feigned anger, then ran out.

Zirui walked over, looked in the direction she ran off to, and asked Zihan: "Why are you pestering Tian Yuanyuan again?"

Zihan was displeased: "How can you call it pestering? That sounds really ugly."

"Even if it sounds ugly, it's better than acting ugly. Tian Yuanyuan is different from you; you can pick up and put down matters of the heart, but she can't. Whoever she sets her heart on, that's it for a lifetime."

Zihan was stunned.

A lifetime is too long; he never thought that far ahead.

He thought about it for a moment and felt that Zirui was being alarmist.

He retorted: "You've never been in a relationship and don't understand girls, so you have no right to speak."

At this moment, Tian Yuanyuan returned; because she had run too fast, her face was flushed.

"Let's go."

"Zirui, do you want to come along?"

"No, you two go ahead."

Zirui watched their retreating backs and shook his head.

He wasn't a meddlesome person, but Zihan was his younger brother, so he couldn't help but speak up.

It was just that saying it was the same as not saying it; it was completely useless!

Tian Yuanyuan was a good girl, but Zihan was not a devoted boy.

From childhood to adulthood, the number of girls he had liked was at least dozens, if not a hundred. It was just like a bear picking corn—he would throw it away as soon as he got it.

As long as it was a girl he liked, there wasn't one he couldn't chase down.

If Tian Yuanyuan had kept him at arm's length, he might have liked her for a bit longer.

But being too easy... that was trouble.

Tian Yuanyuan was their high school classmate; although she sat at the same desk as Zihan, Zirui also understood what kind of girl she was.

She and Zihan were not on the same path; they weren't a good match!

Zirui didn't usually meddle in other people's business, but he still meddled in this "business."

After Tian Yuanyuan and Zihan returned from eating noodles, he found her to have a talk.

Zirui objectively described his brother's personality traits and told Tian Yuanyuan to stay away from his brother, as he wasn't suitable for her.

If she really liked him, then she should play hard to get so it would be difficult for him to win her over; only then would he cherish her!

Tian Yuanyuan liked Zihan, but she wasn't love-struck; she knew Zirui was saying these things for her own good.

"Thank you, Sheng Zirui."

"You're welcome."

Zihan discovered that Tian Yuanyuan had blocked him on WeChat.

Why?

They were clearly laughing and talking when they parted, feeling especially happy, and had even decided to eat wontons instead of noodles the next day.

How could she suddenly block him?

He didn't sleep well all night, and after finally making it until dawn, he rushed to Jiang University early in the morning.

"Classmate, have you seen Tian Yuanyuan?"

"No."

"Classmate, have you seen Tian Yuanyuan?"

"Haven't seen her!"

"Classmate, are you in the same dormitory as Tian Yuanyuan?"

"No..."

Just as Sheng Zihan was disappointed once again, the classmate who said she wasn't in the same dormitory changed her tone: "I know her, do you need me to help you call her down?"

"Thank you, beautiful."

The girl turned and went back, came down again very quickly, and said to Zihan: "Tian Yuanyuan isn't in the dormitory; her roommate said she went to the Library."

After thanking her, Zihan went to the Library to look for Tian Yuanyuan.

Sure enough, she was there.

But she wasn't alone; there was a boy beside her, and the two of them were reading one book together, looking quite happy.

But Zihan was very unhappy.

He didn't like there being anyone else beside Tian Yuanyuan.

Could the Jiang University Library possibly be short on books?

Why did they have to read one book between two people?

He sat down opposite them, propped his chin in his hands, and stared at Tian Yuanyuan, eyes unblinking!

She felt a bit guilty and raised the book up a little to cover her face.

That male classmate also seemed guilty, shrinking his head down, and half his face was also blocked by the book.

Zihan patted the boy on the shoulder: "Classmate, would you mind going to read a different book? I have questions to ask the classmate beside you."

"Sure." The boy left immediately, very readily.

Tian Yuanyuan stomped her feet in anger: "Hey, why are you like this?"

This classmate was someone she had asked for help, helping her pretend to be her boyfriend so that Sheng Zihan would retreat in the face of difficulties, but he was too useless; he ran away without even lasting a single round.

"Why are you looking for me?" Tian Yuanyuan asked with a cold face.

It had only been one night, and she had returned to her cold attitude toward him again!

Zihan asked: "What happened after we parted yesterday? Why do you have this attitude toward me?"

Tian Yuanyuan: "You're really funny, what attitude do you think I should have toward you?"

"Isn't this attitude quite normal? You used to treat me exactly like this."
