Chapter Seventy-two: Embracing

  The next afternoon after class, Mo Shaokun packed up his things and was about to leave when Wei Qianqian called out to him.

  "Shao Kun, do you have time? I have something to talk to you about." Wei Qianqian gazed at him with peach-blossom eyes.

  Mo Shaokun hesitated for a moment before nodding his head, as it happened that he also wanted to have a good talk with Wei Qianqian.

  "Let's talk while walking." Wei Qianqian said softly.

  The two left the classroom and walked out of the teaching building all the way to the artificial lake.

  At the end of October, the lake water sparkled with phosphorescence in the gentle breeze, and the willow branches, whose leaves had begun to turn yellow, hung listlessly, swaying gently in the wind.

  Wei Qianqian stood by the lake and turned around. She looked at Mo Shaokun and said, "Shaokun, are you free tomorrow night?"

  "What's wrong?"

  "Tomorrow is my birthday, I want you to accompany me, okay?" Wei Qianqian looked at Mo Shaokun with eyes full of expectation.

  Mo Shao Kun smiled lightly and said: "Okay, we are classmates, of course I will attend your birthday."

  "I mean just the two of us, can we?" Wei Qianqian bit her lip and looked slightly shy.

  Mo Shaokun was taken aback, if there were other people going with her to celebrate her birthday, that would be fine, but if it was just the two of them...it seemed a bit too ambiguous.

  Thinking of that night when he and Chen Hai sat on the playground chatting, Mo Shaokun took a deep breath and looked at Wei Qianqian seriously: "Little Qian, you're a good girl, I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me in this period of time, but...I think we don't suit each other."

  Wei Qianqian's face turned slightly pale upon hearing this, she lifted her head to look at Mo Shaokun, and a hint of tears appeared in her eyes.

  "Why? Is it because of Yinfie? Or is it because I didn't do well enough? If it's because I didn't do well enough, then you can tell me and I'll try to do better."

  Looking at Wei Qianqian's pitiful appearance, listening to her intoxicating words, Mo Shaokun suddenly felt a pang of heartache. From military training to now, the two had been together for almost two months, and he had to admit that Wei Qianqian was really good to him, but unfortunately, his heart was already full of someone else.

  "Xiao Qian, I'm sorry. It's not that you didn't do well enough, it's my own problem."

  "Can you tell me why?"

  "I... " Mo Shaokun opened his mouth, then let out a soft sigh and shook his head. "Don't ask anymore, okay? In short, I think we're not suitable for each other. You look so beautiful, you're such a good person, you can definitely find someone better than me."

  "No! I just like you! I've liked you since we first met at the wine house." Wei Qianqian shook her head frantically, with a look of despair on her face.

  Suddenly, Wei Qianqian rushed into Mo Shaokun's arms and whispered: "Shaokun, don't be so ruthless to me, okay? I really like you."

  Mo Shaokun's first reaction was to push Wei Qianqian away, but after hearing her words, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. He let out a soft sigh and gently patted Wei Qianqian's back, saying, "Many things can't be forced."

  Wei Qianqian didn't say a word, but Mo Shaokun could sense the faint sobbing coming from her shoulders. He wanted to let Wei Qianqian leave his arms, but she said: "Let me hold you for a while, just for a little while."

  Mo Shaokun couldn't see that at this moment, Wei Qianqian, who was leaning on his shoulder, had some tears in her eyes, but her gaze didn't have the slightest hint of sadness, instead it was filled with thick sarcasm as she stared at a place not far behind Mo Shaokun.

  There stood a girl, her face was pale and her hands tightly grasped the textbook in her arms.

  Yin Fei never thought she would see this scene, since the last time she and Mo Shaokun performed on the same stage, she felt that the relationship between them had gradually improved. She has also been quietly paying attention to the progress of Mo Shaokun and Wei Qianqian, but she found that Mo Shaokun's attitude towards Wei Qianqian was still unchanged from before, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

  Today in class, when Wei Qianqian asked Mo Shaokun to go out and talk, Yin Fei didn't know what she was thinking and followed them over.

  She saw the two of them talking by the lake, and then she saw them embracing. At that moment, she only felt a sharp pain in her chest as if her heart was shattered. Holding back tears that wanted to burst out, she deeply etched this scene into her mind and turned away.

  "Xiao Qian, there are many people here, it's not good if we're seen." Mo Shaokun finally spoke up after a long time.

  This time Wei Qianqian didn't persist, she obediently let go of Mo Shaokun. Yin Fei had already left, and she no longer needed to hold onto Mo Shaokun either.

  At this moment, her face still had a strong sense of sadness, she lowered her head and didn't speak, but in her heart, she was secretly scolding Mo Shao Kun for being ungrateful.

  I'm not going to give you face by taking the initiative to send it to your door, what else do you want? Hmph! Since you don't give me face, don't blame me for harming you. You like Yinfei, right? Now that she's seen us hugging, I'd love to see what kind of outcome there is between you two!

  "It's windy here, let's go. Tomorrow is your birthday and I'll get our classmates to help celebrate with you." Mo Shaokun said.

  Wei Qianqian nodded and returned to her dormitory with a sorrowful expression under Mo Shaokun's escort.

  The moment she stepped in, she let out a long sigh, this acting thing was really a tiring business.

  She walked back to the dormitory, throwing her books onto the bed, and saw Yin Fei sitting on the edge of the bed with a vacant expression, seemingly lost in thought. A faint, mocking smile played on the corners of her mouth.

  "Feifei, let's go eat," a girl in the dormitory said.

  Yin Fei, however, didn't react at all, and the scene from before kept replaying in her mind like a movie clip.

  "Fei Fei?" Her roommate couldn't help but walk up and pat her on the back.

  Yin Fei snapped out of it and looked at her roommate with a dazed expression: "What's up?"

  "What's wrong with you? You didn't even react at all. It's time to go eat."

  Yin Fei laughed loudly and shook his head: "You guys go ahead, I'm not going."

  "Hmm..." Her roommate looked at Yinfei with some hesitation, then said: "Do you want us to help bring it back for you?"

  "It's all right, I'm not hungry," said Yinfie.

  Like Yin Fei, Wei Qianqian didn't go to eat either, but she wasn't treated like Yin Fei. After a long time of getting along, her roommates had already seen through her pretentious face and now basically treated her as air. Since this kind of arrogant girl couldn't be messed with, it was better not to bother reasoning with her at all, so that every time they spoke to her, they wouldn't have to think twice before speaking for fear of offending her.

  Seeing her roommates being so concerned about Yinfei but ignoring herself, Wei Qianqian's eyes flashed with intense resentment. She thought to herself that Wei Qianqian used to be surrounded by people wherever she went, but who would have thought that in college, she would suffer setback after setback.

  First, the man who had caught her eye treated her as if she were air. Then, her housemates, with whom she shared a roof, kept their distance from her. Although she had always looked down on these housemates in her heart, in her mind, it was only right that she should be cold to others, but it was wrong for others to be cold to her!

  She was already unhappy with Yin Fei because of Mo Shao Kun, and now she dislikes her even more. Why is she the number one newcomer in Feng Yun Bao's female department? Why does everyone in the dormitory like to get along with her?

  "Feifei, are you in a bad mood today?" Wei Qianqian munched on her snack with a smug smile on her face as she looked at Yin Fei. What she most wanted to do right now was to annoy Yin Fei!

  Yin Fei gave her a faint glance and ignored her.

  "Hey, Shaokun is really something, just now he hugged me so tightly that it hurt."

  Yin Fei Meng turned her head and glared at her, saying: "Wei Qianqian! Put away that set of yours. What's going on between you and Mo Shaokun is none of my business. You don't have to show off in front of me!"
