Chapter 839: Chapter 829: Still Haven’t Found the Right Person?

On the ginkgo pathway at Jiangcheng Science and Technology University, a young man and woman walked side by side. Although there weren’t many students around, those who were frequently glanced over at the pair.

Of course, part of the reason was Shen Yi’s good looks and aura, but more importantly, these people recognized him.

Recently, Su Qing had been quite the hot topic online, especially here in Jiang City. First, as a social media influencer with millions of followers, he and Tang Nan had promoted a store together, then his gossip news broke out, with various shipping rumors. Soon after, he himself revealed his relationship.

There were still plenty of people eager for the gossip. A social media influencer with millions of followers might not be as well-known as a celebrity, but he wasn’t just any influencer. He had too many halos around him, making his popularity much greater than that of influencers of the same level.

Su Qing was still somewhat unaccustomed to this. He wasn’t someone who thrived in crowds. Being stared at by so many people, especially in his daily life, made him feel a bit tense.

Shen Yi, sensing his state, directly reached out and interlocked her fingers with his, smiling, "Wow, I didn’t expect my brother to be so famous, even more so than little Tang!"

With this interruption, Su Qing felt considerably better and tightly held her hand, replying, "You better stop teasing me. Don’t you know the real reason why things are this way?"

"Okay, okay, I won’t laugh. By the way, when did you realize I was here?"

"I noticed the tagalong as soon as I got off the car. What happened to trust? Didn’t you invite me here?" Su Qing replied with a face full of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately stopped walking: "Oh, so you’ve just been laughing at me all this while. You’ve really grown bold, huh? Just now, I saw her with open arms trying to hug you. If I wasn’t here, would you have entertained her?"

As she spoke, Shen Yi leaned closer, standing on tiptoe, and their faces drew nearer. Her eyebrows arched, feigning an angry expression.

But she didn’t neglect her hand’s action, placing one directly onto his waist, pinching some skin with her two fingers, poised as if saying if he didn’t explain clearly, she wouldn’t be polite.

"No, you’re falsely accusing me! I already turned her down. I do have a girlfriend, you know. I might accuse you of slander!" Su Qing responded with a righteous tone.

Hearing this, Shen Yi smiled, glaring at him, and then leaned her head up, planting a hard kiss on his neck.

’Mwah~’

"You pass!"

The couple’s intimate gesture astonished several students nearby who were taking photos with their phones, with the female students covering their mouths in envy, and those accompanied by friends began stomping their feet.

The male students, however, were more direct. Their expressions seemed to say: ’Damn Su Qing, not only is he secretly successful, but he also has a girlfriend!’

"By the way, have you clarified everything?"

"Yeah, she’s leaving!"

"Leaving? Where to? It can’t be, right? I didn’t do anything to her. Didn’t I even ask you to send her off? You didn’t say something harsh, did you?" Although Shen Yi said this, the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears.

Though generous and trusting with her partner, she wasn’t completely without temper, and she found such things quite amusing.

"I didn’t say anything. It’s been two years, is it necessary? It was all just talk about the future. She said she was going to pursue a PhD. I don’t know if it’s true. She didn’t tell me where she’s going. Maybe, if nothing unexpected happens, we might not see each other again." Su Qing shrugged and smiled.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it’s better not to see her. This is fine, since I already knew even when we weren’t together, but if another ex-girlfriend shows up, don’t blame me for not being polite. If there is one, you’d better confess now. I’m a really open-minded person!" Shen Yi said as she swung their joined hands and strode forward, obviously in a good mood now.

Though running into an ex isn’t pleasant, at least it provided her with some amusement. What satisfied her most was Su Qing’s reaction, as he surely placed her first.

Women, after all, are the same, even career-driven ones like Shen Yi have their whims.

"Open-minded? Then why are you here? Did you attend school here too?" Su Qing teased.

Oh, pretending to be generous on the outside but actually following me, huh!

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi burst out, pulled her hand away, and raised her hand wanting to show him the ways of a female CEO.

But how could Su Qing willingly accept punishment? Naturally, he darted away!

"Hey, you’re laughing at me, don’t run, let me catch and deal with you! Stop right there!"

"Chase me, catch me, and I’ll let you... Holy crap, you’re fast, are you on the school team?"

It turned out he didn’t know Shen Yi well enough. With her 5’7" height and long legs, her running speed wasn’t slow. On turning around, she was already behind him.

In the end, after a little chase, Su Qing let her catch him, accepting some scolding.

"You sit in the co-pilot seat, I won’t sit in a seat someone else has sat in, hmph!"

Su Qing: ...

"Then should I sell the car and buy another?"

"What car, what car? Your money is going to be mine in the future. Go pick one from Qing Jie’s underground garage. Not driving one doesn’t cost anything. Anyway, this car isn’t really mine; it’s under the company name. Oh, damn it, all your fault!"

Speaking, Shen Yi shuddered, glaring at him.

"What’s wrong?" Su Qing asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi glared at him, then started the car and drove home directly, both going upstairs.

Ten minutes later, Su Qing was alone in the bathroom manually washing a small piece of blood-stained cloth.

"Sis, can’t we just wash this in the washing machine?" Su Qing called out.

Hearing him, Shen Yi, sitting on the sofa clutching her belly, glared at him and spat: "No, it must be hand-washed. If you dare put it in the washing machine, don’t blame me for covering you with it tonight!"

Su Qing immediately fell silent at her words. At this moment, he seemed to understand how the narrative forewarned him of impending trouble with blood, although he hoped it was just on the surface.

Meanwhile, Liu Shuzhu returned to her dormitory, feeling for the first time that she didn’t want to live at school anymore.

Previously, she lived on campus initially to frequently see the person she liked, then hoping perhaps someone might suddenly seek her out here. Eventually, it became a habit. But now, she really wanted to live a different lifestyle.

Upon returning to the dorm, she sat dazedly on her chair. Suddenly, her phone rang, and she saw it was a video call from her mom.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Shuzhu accepted the call.

"Shuzhu, have you eaten?"

Seeing her mom in the video, Liu Shuzhu smiled and nodded: "I’ve eaten, Mom."

Then the mother and daughter chatted casually. Suddenly, Liu’s mom paused for a moment before earnestly speaking: "Shuzhu, haven’t you found anyone suitable yet? You’re not getting any younger, it’s time to consider it!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuzhu’s smile gradually faded, and she fell silent.

After a long while, Liu’s mom suddenly sighed and said: "I opposed you being with that young man mainly because you would be too far from home. You weren’t willing to come back. So many who marry far away don’t lead happy lives, and he’s younger than you by several years. He was still a student back then, how could we agree? There’s no future in it.

During last year’s New Year when you came home, you stayed in your room, didn’t eat or speak. Mom didn’t know what you were up to. If you’re still waiting for him..."

Saying this, Liu’s mom reluctantly continued: "Then find a time to bring him home. Mom won’t oppose your relationship anymore."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuzhu’s eyes instantly brimmed with tears, her chest as if struck by a heavy hammer.

Seeing this, the woman in the video hurriedly asked: "Shuzhu, Shuzhu? What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Mom agrees now!"

But the more she said it, the harder Liu Shuzhu cried, even to the point of breathlessness, scaring the woman on the other end. "Don’t scare mom, what’s going on? Can you tell me?"

After a while, finally feeling a little relieved after crying, Liu Shuzhu choked back:

"Yest...yesterday, he has a girlfriend now, has even met her parents, might be getting married soon!"

As those words came out, the eyes of the woman in the video gradually turned red, filled with guilt and helplessness.

Because she knew, it seemed to be her attitude that made her daughter lose the person she liked.

For a moment, mother and daughter remained silent, except for the sad sobs of one and the quiet tears of the other.

Throughout one’s life, there are many things beyond one’s control. Parents, like mountains, shelter us from storms, but sometimes they also weigh us down.
