Wen Nian’s smile remained intact as she deftly dodged the incoming hand sanitizer hurled by Wei Lai. Seizing the opportunity, she swiftly struck back with her baton before Wei Lai could mount a counterattack.
With a bang, they fell to the ground. Wen Nian looked at the two unconscious people and poured a basin of water on each of them.
As Wen Nian prepared to depart, she thoughtfully opened the washroom window, allowing the fresh, chilly air from outside to circulate within. In addition, she located the key to the washroom in Wei Lai’s bag, ensuring that the door could be easily unlocked for their release.
After securely locking the washroom door, Wen Nian noticed that the key was attached to their phones. Without hesitation, she discarded the key, along with their phones, into a nearby trash can on the street outside the mall. Letting out a sigh, she commented, “You brought this upon yourselves.”
In the month of May, the weather exhibited significant fluctuations, with a mix of hot and cold temperatures. Over the weekend, the temperature dropped to single digits, but by Monday, it soared above 20 degrees Celsius. This sudden change led many students, eager to embrace the arrival of summer, to forgo long sleeves and instead opt for short-sleeved shirts and summer attire.
Upon entering the classroom, Wen Nian was taken aback to see Shen Jun already seated in his usual spot. She expressed her surprise, saying, “You’re actually here earlier than me today.”
Shen Jun smiled in response and quipped, “Sometimes, I do manage to be a diligent student.”
As the conversation unfolded, Jiang Chun, wearing a displeased expression, turned around to face Wen Nian. With an accusing gaze, she confronted Wen Nian and said in a reproachful tone, “Wen Nian, you’ve gone too far! Do you even realize that you could have become a murderer?! Jiang Ning and Wei Lai are currently hospitalized because of you!”
Turning to face Jiang Chun, Wen Nian’s expression remained indifferent as she responded, “They provoked me without any justification. Considering the circumstances, I have actually shown restraint in my response.”
Jiang Chun gazed at Wen Nian with a mixture of disappointment and sadness. “I’ve always seen you as a gentle and kind-hearted girl. I couldn’t believe it when they told me you were vain, manipulative, and willing to go to any lengths to achieve your goals. I understand that Jiang Ning and Wei Lai may have said hurtful things to you, but they have already been harmed by your actions. Yet, you still intended to lock them in the washroom for the entire night! Wen Nian, how can you be so heartless?”
Observing the pained expression on Jiang Chun’s face, Wen Nian’s frown deepened.
As Wen Nian recalled their limited interactions, she realized that it had only been a mere two months since they first met. They had exchanged no more than ten sentences during that time. Yet, Jiang Chun’s words made her contemplate the sense of familiarity that seemed to have developed between them.
After considering Jiang Chun’s heartfelt words, Wen Nian paused for a moment before responding, “You can trust me.”
Jiang Chun was taken aback by Wen Nian’s unexpected response, leaving her momentarily perplexed. “Huh?”
Wen Nian offered a kind gesture, helping Jiang Chun complete her sentence. “You can choose to believe them if you wish. After all, we aren’t particularly familiar with each other. Whether you believe me or not doesn’t make a significant difference.”
Jiang Chun was momentarily stunned by Wen Nian’s words, her gaze instinctively shifting towards Shen Jun.contemporary romance
Shen Jun quickly turned Wen Nian around and nervously examined her from head to toe. With concern in his voice, he asked, “You are not hurt, are you?”
Wen Nian quickly replied, “I’m fine.”
Shen Jun, his expression turning serious, looked at Wen Nian intently. His voice carried a tone of concern and determination. “Someone is causing trouble for you? Why didn’t you tell me? What happened?”
Hearing Shen Jun’s three consecutive questions, Wen Nian responded with a helpless expression. “I knew you would react like this. But don’t worry, it’s the other person who is causing trouble, not me.”
Wen Nian provided a brief account of the events that transpired that day, carefully omitting the fact that she had a red mark on her arm.
Shen Jun listened to Wen Nian’s version of events, understanding that she had retaliated without experiencing any losses throughout the encounter.
Wen Nian relished the tender display of concern from her boyfriend, savoring the sweet moments of his caring nature.
Jiang Chun, taken aback by Shen Jun’s unconditional belief in Wen Nian, quickly realized her misjudgment and the distorted version of events she had been fed. Realizing her mistake, she swiftly formulated a solution and offered a sincere apology to Wen Nian. “I’m truly sorry, Wen Nian. I didn’t anticipate the truth to be so different from what they told me. I deeply regret my earlier words. Please forgive me.”
Jiang Chun’s apologetic expression, sincere attitude, and heartfelt tone conveyed her genuine remorse.
Jiang Chun’s sincere demeanor and the realization that her words were not meant to deliberately cause harm dispelled much of Wen Nian’s suspicion. Considering that Jiang Chun’s voice had not been overly loud and only a few nearby tables had heard her, it seemed unlikely that she intended to tarnish Wen Nian’s reputation or seek revenge for her cousin.
Wen Nian smiled faintly. “It’s fine. 1 realized that you’re quite trusting. You believe everything you say.”
Wen Nian’s words were not sarcastic. After all, Jiang Chun’s image was that she was kind and innocent and easily trusted others.
Jiang Chun smiled awkwardly and replied frankly, “I always feel that it’s wrong to lie, so I’m willing to believe what everyone says. Although I’ve been deceived many times, I’m still willing to give more trust to my friends and family.”
Wen Nian glanced at Jiang Chun and smiled without saying anything..
