Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios contemporary romance
However, in that moment, Shen Jun realized that starting tomorrow, he would have the opportunity to spend every day with Wen Nian in their own little world. He couldn’t help but feel excited, although he maintained a calm demeanor on his face as he said, “We’ll start our tutoring sessions at 9 a.m. tomorrow.”
Wen Nian pushed her bicycle out of the shed. Her tone casual as she replied, “You’re quite enthusiastic to make time for Jiang Chun’s gathering.”
Shen Jun widened his eyes slightly. “It’s not about the gathering. Didn’t 1 just change my words? Besides, we used to start even earlier to catch up on the progress.”
Wen Nian rolled her eyes at Shen Jun and retorted, “You’re even sharing details about my tutoring progress with others. Seems like you two had quite a deep conversation!”
With a huff, Wen Nian hopped on her bike and left directly.
Shen Jun stood there, feeling conflicted. “What’s so deep about discussing tutoring progress? It was just a casual question. Do I have to keep it a secret?”
Instead of going to the noodle shop, Wen Nian rode her bike back home. She saw Wen Yu sitting cross-legged on the living room floor, engrossed in an online multiplayer game, enthusiastically shouting, “Let’s go, bro!”
Wen Nian changed into her slippers at the doorway and stood towering over Wen Yu.
Sensing the pressure, Wen Yu looked up in confusion and glanced at Wen Nian.
Wen Nian pointed to two buckets of instant noodles on the coffee table next to them and said in an annoyed tone, “No hands? After eating, you expect me to clean up after you, huh? All you do after the exams are over is stay at home playing games!”
Before Wen Yu could react, Wen Nian turned around and slammed the bedroom door shut.
Wen Yu blinked in surprise at the sound and muttered, “Did she just explode? Today, 1 had a legitimate day off from my shifts at the noodle shop, and now it’s escalated from one day to every day.”
Wen Yu swallowed nervously and continued, “Sometimes, women can get angry for no reason at all. Their mood changes faster than flipping through a book.”
After contemplating for a moment, Wen Yu suddenly thought of the missing transfer student and self-mockingly said, “Well, it sure changes faster than flipping through a book. Saying she liked me and then disappearing! What kind of person falls in love at first sight and then vanishes? What a scammer!” “In the top lane, didn’t I say I was good at this? You’ve died twice already! If you don’t want to play, then get lost and stop dragging us down!” The voice of a temporary teammate came through the headphones, filled with insults.
Wen Yu snapped back to reality, simultaneously operating the game and retorting, “You dying twice is really giving away kills. Even if I die twice, 1 can still get the MVP!”
Wen Nian, feeling annoyed by the absence of any messages from Shen Jun on her phone, sat in frustration at her desk. She couldn’t help but vent to Zheng Mo about Jiang Chun’s strange behavior.
Zheng Mo: Sister, there’s definitely something fishy going on. Don’t doubt your judgment. That girl is using the identity of an acquaintance from childhood to lower your boyfriend’s guard and subtly sow discord between the two of you!
Having her thoughts validated by Zheng Mo, Wen Nian felt a sense of relief, even though the situation was still unresolved.
Otherwise, every time Jiang Chun didn’t make a move, she would start doubting herself and her suspicions. After several repetitions, she began to feel a bit neurotic.
Wen Nian: Do you have any suggestions then?
Zheng Mo was taken aback. Being single for 18 years, this question was a bit out of her league.
Zheng Mo: I can’t think of any specific solutions, but 1 know that confronting Shen Jun directly won’t work.
Her response felt as if nothing was said at all. Wen Nian sighed silently. It seemed like she would have to rely on herself.
Shen Jun returned home and lay down on the couch. He felt that Wen Nian would overthink things whenever she encountered issues with Jiang Chun. He was getting tired of having to placate her. This time, he decided to completely ignore the situation and see who would back down first.
Just as he made up his mind, his phone started ringing. Shen Jun immediately took out his phone and saw the word “Uncle” on the screen. His mood instantly changed.
Shen Jun answered the call with a weary tone, “Uncle.”
Zhao Wu was also in a bad mood today. Upon hearing Shen Jun’s voice, he let out a soft sigh. “Seems like both of us are wanderers. Come over and have a drink with me. 1’11 have Zhao Fei pick you up.”
Shen Jun thought that staying at home would only make him more frustrated, and having someone to accompany him wouldn’t be a bad idea. “Okay!”
On the first day of summer vacation, due to her biological clock, Wen Nian woke up at her usual school time. Unable to resist, she immediately reached for her phone next to her pillow and checked it, but still no unread messages appeared. Annoyed, she tossed the phone aside..
