Chapter 025: Are You Together?
Huo Shiqian took the chopsticks, "You're not eating?"
Jiang Yu's smile deepened: "Will you feed me?"
Huo Shiqian was silent, and Jiang Yu didn't get upset, she had the impression that he didn't reject her so much anymore.
He was also a sight to see when eating. His elegant, unhurried gestures were very attractive. Perhaps her stare was too intense, he put down his chopsticks in the middle of his meal and simply looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Jiang Yu, are you like this to everyone?"
Jiang Yu was stunned, "Which way are you referring to?"
He looked at her with cool eyes, unable to find the right words. Jiang Yu, on the other hand, looked at him for a long time before she slowly understood.
"Huo Shiqian, are you trying to say that I'm treating everyone so ..." her heart suddenly erupted with a burst of grievance. Hot anger rushed to her head, her heart was unbearably filled with sourness: "That I don't know shame?"
"Or maybe ...... Whenever I see a guy I'll be plastered on him?"
Huo Shiqian looked at her slowly reddening eyes and felt a certain panic and confusion: "I'm not ......"
"That's exactly what you mean!" She stood up abruptly, "Huo Shiqian, you're a bastard!"
As she turned to leave, Huo Shiqian suddenly stood up, but he couldn't even take a step.
After standing quietly for a while, he rubbed his eyebrows, and sat down again, stared at the remaining half of the now cold noodles. He picked up his chopsticks and ate it one mouthful at a time.
……
Jiang Yu went back to her apartment next door and slammed the door behind her shut. She nestled on the couch with her hands around her knees, her face buried inside, and her tears falling on her clothes.
How could he have thought of her that way? How could this be ...
It was her fault. She was the one who asked for a break-up, she walked away, and yet now she's chasing him. She also indirectly caused him to lose his memory in a car accident, so she deserved it all. But still, how could Huo Shiqian, that bastard, look at her like that?
……
Huo Shiqian cleared up the dishes then looked at the two identical bowls stacked one on top of the other. He stayed like that for a while before sighing and smiling helplessly.
He decidedly went out next door and pressed the doorbell. Alas, no one answered even after a few minutes. Huo Shiqian looked at the locked door and pondered over what to do before he returned home. With a spare key in hand, he stood in front of the door for a while, wondering whether to use it or not, eventually, he put it back.
……
Jiang Yu was so immersed in her own emotions that she didn't hear the doorbell ring at all. After she calmed down she made a phone call to Bai Xiaotang, her every sentence was a complaint against Huo Shiqian.
"He's such a jerk!"
"Yes, a jerk."
"How can he see me that way?!"
"Yes, he shouldn't."
Jiang Yu:...
"Won't you comfort me?"
"Do you need comfort?" Bai Shinotang chuckled, "Won't you still vigorously go looking for Huo Shiqian tomorrow."
"I won't go!"
"Really not going?"
"I ...!" Her resolute tone suddenly wavered.
"Why don't you check out the other good-looking guys, just in case there's one you like better?"
Jiang Yu couldn't help inwardly refuting this, there would be no one I like more than him.
Noticing her silence, Bai Xiaotang laughed, "Jiang Yu, this is who you are. Since you implanted Huo Shiqian in your heart, he'll be there for the rest of your life. But imagine if it was not you, but another woman who had stuck to him like that, wouldn't you be mad?"
"How could it possibly not be me?!" Jiang Yu's heart just sprang: "He would never let another woman get close to him like that!"
"So confident, huh? Who was the one who just called him a flirt, a player, and even a jerk?"
She won't talk anymore, it's so annoying when she plays with her words! She didn't go that far.
But then Bai Xiaotang's words changed: "So Jiang Yu, you see, even if you say that, subconsciously, you're convinced that he treats you differently."
She rubbed her fingertips in silence and after a while spoke up, "Recently, I felt that he didn't reject me as much... However, today... "
She scratched her hair in frustration, "How could he think of me like that ..."
Hearing her voice lower again, Bai Xiaotang murmured, "Jiang Yu, although I also agree that he treats you differently. But in reality, he may think that you and he are just acquaintances and can't even be called friends... And ... Didn't you say all those words yourself... "
"That's what he can't say, I'll help him say it!"
Bai Xiaotang was surprised: "Are you a worm in his stomach? You know what he thinks without him having to say it?"
Jiang Yu huffed in exasperation.
"So what do you plan to do next, you just called someone a jerk to his face. Will, you really look for him tomorrow? Mr. Huo will think you're sick in the head."
"I... I also don't know..."
She doesn't know how to handle it now. Huo Shiqian will never come to her on his own initiative.
"I'm coming back to B-City tomorrow, how about hanging out together?"
"Okay ... "Jiang Yu answered in a muffled voice: "By the way, didn't you have a role that you wanted Xie Zheng to play? I met him at the airport today and he's back in City B. Should I arrange a meetup with him tomorrow?"
"OK."
