Chapter 492: Chapter 236: 3 Is Too Noisy, 4 Is Just Right
Gu Wanqing found herself in a rather distressing situation.
She hadn’t wanted to ruin the relationship between Lin Shen and Jiang Wan. But when she saw him, she couldn’t hold back and ended up crossing the line with him.
’Thinking about it now,’ Gu Wanqing felt she had been a little too bold.
’Even though there weren’t many people around at night, what if someone had seen them? Wouldn’t the campus be buzzing with rumors about me kissing Brother Lin Shen the very next day?’
’Most importantly, Brother Lin Shen’s publicly declared identity is my brother—and Jiang Wan’s boyfriend!’
’If this news gets out, it might even affect Jiang Wan’s work.’
The thought of such consequences sent a chill of fear through Gu Wanqing.
But what was done was done. The only thing to do now was to figure out how to resolve this properly.
On the way back to her dorm, Gu Wanqing took out her phone several times and opened her WeChat chat with Jiang Wan.
She typed out long messages, only to delete them all in the end.
At only eighteen, Gu Wanqing had no idea how to handle such a complicated romantic situation.
It would have been easier to solve if she and Jiang Wan weren’t on good terms.
But the problem was, Jiang Wan was so good to her!
Their relationship was as close as that of actual sisters!
This left Gu Wanqing completely clueless about how she should face Jiang Wan from now on.
’And most importantly, Brother Lin Shen has other women!’
’I’m not the first "other woman"!’
’He might even have a fourth or a fifth!’
Gu Wanqing pouted slightly, extremely annoyed by Lin Shen’s promiscuous, scumbag behavior.
Of course, what annoyed her wasn’t that he was such a player, but that it had taken him so long to tell her!
’He could have told me sooner.’
’That way, I could have devised a strategy to get rid of a few rivals.’
Now, not only did she not know how to handle the situation with Jiang Wan, but there was also this other woman named Qin Yuenan.
"Sigh—! Shen is really so popular!"
Gu Wanqing was troubled.
She knew Lin Shen was popular.
After all, a guy in his twenties who was handsome, had a great body, a gentle personality, and was also incredibly rich and capable would absolutely be in the top tier when it came to romance.
Calling him a "hexagonal warrior" of romance wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
So while Gu Wanqing expected Lin Shen to be popular, she never imagined he could win the affection of so many girls at the same time!
Including herself.
"What on earth should I do..."
Gu Wanqing was out of ideas. She decided to head back to her room, take a shower, and then think carefully about how to resolve the situation with Lin Shen and Jiang Wan.
Dorm Room 224.
When Gu Wanqing went upstairs and returned to her dorm, she found that Zhou Min and Wang Meng had already gone to shower.
However, Sun Jialin was curled up in her chair, staring into space.
"Huh? Linlin? You haven’t gone to shower yet?"
Gu Wanqing was a little surprised, and her startled call snapped Sun Jialin out of her daze.
She blinked, looking at Gu Wanqing’s pretty face. The image of her kissing Lin Shen kept replaying in her mind.
This made Sun Jialin’s expression turn flustered. She averted her gaze and said softly,
"I was waiting for you."
"Okay! Let’s go then!"
Girls are a strange species.
Whether it’s eating, shopping, going to the bathroom, or showering, they always find a friend to go with.
It’s as if they’d be embarrassed to do it alone.
So Gu Wanqing didn’t think anything of it and started gathering her things for a shower.
Meanwhile, Sun Jialin remained seated silently on her chair. After Gu Wanqing finished packing, she suddenly spoke up.
"By the way, Qingqing, what did you and your brother talk about?"
"Oh, nothing much."
Gu Wanqing had already prepared her answer. So even though she wasn’t good at lying, her tone was no different from usual—completely calm and composed.
"We just talked about life and my studies. My brother’s busy with work, you know? It’s not often we get to see each other, so of course we had to have a good chat."
"Oh, right, he also gave me a bank card for my living expenses, hehe."
"Your brother is so good to you."
Sun Jialin said, her words carrying a double meaning. Then she added hauntingly,
"So what kind of feelings do you have for your brother?"
"Huh? What kind of feelings could I have for him? It’s just the affection between a brother and sister, at most."
Gu Wanqing’s expression froze. Being smart, she seemed to realize something and quickly added an explanation.
"My relationship with Shen is actually really good."
"Good enough to kiss?"
!?
Huh?
Sun Jialin’s words hit her like a bombshell, leaving Gu Wanqing’s mind reeling and blank. For a moment, she couldn’t react and just mumbled subconsciously,
"Linlin, what are you talking about..."
"Was I not clear enough?"
Now that the cards were on the table, Sun Jialin didn’t hold back. She stood up from her chair, walked over to Gu Wanqing, and looked at her dazed expression, offering a soft apology.
"First, I’m sorry. It was wrong of me to follow you, and for that, I apologize."
"But I saw what you and Lin Shen were doing behind the academic building."
"..."
Gu Wanqing’s delicate body trembled, and she swayed slightly back and forth.
She reached out to steady herself on the edge of the desk. Her eyes lowered, her lips pressed into a tight line, and she fell into a long silence.
She felt all the sound around her fade away, leaving only the frantic thumping of her heart in her chest, growing louder and clearer.
THUMP-THUMP—!
—THUMP-THUMP!
’She saw!’
