ENC 60

Chapter 60. Dust

At this point in the memories, everything came to a sudden halt.

However, it was absolutely inappropriate for Wei Shi to tell her more. 

He hedged his words, “When you were in your freshman year, he suddenly approached me, bragging about you being his girlfriend, telling me not to fantasize about toads eating swan meat anymore…”

“Ah?” Shen Shuman was stunned for a moment, rubbed her ears, and asked him to repeat.

“Sigh~” he sighed sadly, “I knew it, I said it, but you definitely didn’t believe… Forget it, it’s all in the past.”

His mouth drooped, the worry between his eyebrows was thick and undispellable, looking truly aggrieved, far from looking like someone who could just let it go.

Indeed, he continued, “I still remember the first time you took the initiative to talk to me… but at that time, I was so jealous because of that incident that I vented my anger on you…”

Although Wei Shi briefly summed up those past events in a few sentences.

However, the human brain tends to process information further. She unintentionally imagined many details, her nose tingled, and tears quickly filled her eyes, falling like pearls one by one.

A barely audible sob quietly reached his ears, and Wei Shi froze for a moment.

Looking down, several bean-sized tears had already fallen on his chest, scalding his heart.

She cried silently, as if performing a silent play.

“Why are you suddenly crying? Hmm? Did I scare you with my fierce expression back then?” Wei Shi reached out, took a tissue, and gently wiped away her tears.

“It has nothing to do with you,” Shen Shuman sniffled. As soon as these words came out, she couldn’t hold back her tears and burst into loud sobs.

She cried, leaving Wei Shi at a loss. Besides holding her tightly and comforting her with a gentle voice, he didn’t know what else to do to make her stop crying.

Shen Shuman sniffed, her heart aching painfully. In the romance novels Cheng Tong read, there were often clichéd scenes of “green tea best friends repeatedly scheming and fighting over the female lead’s boyfriend.” Every time this happened, the female lead in the book would usually seek revenge with a sense of reluctance.

In comparison, she felt useless, only able to vent her emotions through tears—

After all these years, they each had their own jobs and families, and it seemed like there was no connection between them in this lifetime. If she clung to this matter, it would be a torment for everyone.

She knew the principle of “an eye for an eye” very well.

In her life, she was cautious and had only a few close friends. Apart from Jiang Xia, who shared similar interests, and the tactful Cheng Tong, there was also the ambiguous relationship with Xiao Ran.

But she never expected that the clear and honest boy who once confessed to having a secret crush on someone would do such a thing behind her back!

Why did Xiao Ran wait until that night five years ago to confess to her?

If he had told her earlier that the person he “secretly loved” was her, she would have definitely rejected him!

She hated these unclear relationships the most!

What infuriated her the most was that he lied to Wei Shi, claiming to be her boyfriend. Xiao Ran clearly knew how much she liked the elegant young man buried in her heart…

She had only confided in him about a seemingly unattainable presence in her heart.

Because of his presence, she was determined to get into Suming University no matter what, wanting to be with him and close the distance between them…

Even if he never knew her feelings in this lifetime, as long as she could see him, she would be happy for a long time.

This truly echoed the saying—

“Upon seeing him, she became very humble, as low as the dust. But in her heart, there was joy, blossoming flowers from the dust.”
