Chapter 40 part 2

Clearly, during Chinese New Year, her parents said they were putting this matter on hold. Yan Shiqing also disagrees.

She instinctively turned her head to look at Yan Shiqing and noticed that her expression was off as if she was arguing or fighting with someone on the phone. After a few seconds, Yan Shiqing dialed another number and walked away to talk to the person on the other end of the line.

Although Shen Qiaoyu couldn’t hear what she was saying, she could tell that Yan Shiqing was not in a good mood. She furrowed her brows, and there seemed to be an unresolved frustration in her eyes.

Shen Qiaoyu couldn’t help but frown and made a phone call to her mother.

Shen Qiaoyu: “…”

Indeed, what the Yan Family did was unprincipled. The matter hasn’t even been thoroughly discussed, and they’ve already made it public without their consent.

However, thinking about it, with Madam Yan’s authoritarian personality, she’s capable of such actions.

Yan Shiqing might compromise in the future. After all, her mom has always been unequivocal with her decisions. It’s just unfortunate for her partner.

Shen Qiaoyu remembered back when she was friends with Yan Shiqing, Madam Yan frequently interfered in their relationship. Initially, she was very amicable, urging Shen Qiaoyu to take care of Yan Shiqing, especially since she had a leg problem and required extensive rehabilitation training to walk again.

But at some point, it seemed to have changed, and whenever they met, Madam Yan would have a sour expression. On one occasion, she even asked Shen Qiaoyu to stay away from her daughter.

Shen Qiaoyu was utterly bewildered and angry at the time.

They had been neighbors for so many years, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? What’s the point of pushing her away from their daughter?

She was in a bad mood at the time and thought she didn’t want to be friends with Yan Shiqing anymore.

As a result, their relationship got even worse.

Looking back now, it wasn’t a big deal. But back then, when youthful arrogance prevailed, she couldn’t stand being scolded by adults.

She didn’t do anything wrong, so does it warrant that attitude? It was like she is a virus and must stay away from their daughter.

Shen Qiaoyu hung up the phone after chatting with her mother for a few more minutes.

It seemed that Yan Shiqing’s call had also ended. She glanced at her phone and, for some reason, her mood seemed to improve.

Shen Qiaoyu couldn’t help but ask, “You…”

But before she could finish her question, Yan Shiqing smiled and replied, “It’s fine, I’m used to it. It’s just that this incident affected all of you a bit, so let me apologize.”

Now that the conversation had reached this point and Yan Shiqing indeed seemed fine, Shen Qiaoyu interjected, “It’s okay.”

There was a faint sense of desolation hidden beneath Yan Shiqing’s smile. Shen Qiaoyu didn’t know how to interpret that feeling but sensed its contagiousness, so she stopped talking about it.

Following that, both of them fell silent and started doing their things.

Finally, Shen Qiaoyu received a message from Qingning.

[How could it be? My heart broke when Shiqing fell, but luckily you caught her and held hands and stuff. It’s just a small matter, nothing serious. Swimming was part of the program, after all, and Shiqing doesn’t know how to swim.]

[From now on, I’ll rely on you to take care of her. Thank you, thank you. (Kitty emoji)]

In the past, she would have been happy without hesitation because it meant Qingning trusted her. But today, for some reason, she just felt strange.

Could it be because Qingning didn’t show any signs of jealousy?

She felt like an ordinary person would feel jealous if they saw their partner getting too close to another woman, even during a game. But Qingning was so generous that she even let her take care of Yan Shiqing, which made her heartache.

It seemed like Yan Shiqing was mentioned in every sentence. Her girlfriend had become like a stranger.

As she read the few words sent by Qingning, her heart grew more sour, and she felt somewhat disappointed.

Why didn’t her girlfriend care about her?

With this in mind, she immediately sent a message to her.

[I’m jealous. Why don’t you ever care about me? You only think about having me take care of Yan Shiqing.]

She was always straightforward in her speech.

Suddenly, Yan Shiqing beside her burst into laughter. Shen Qiaoyu involuntarily glanced at her, wondering what was so funny. Her mood seemed to improve instantly.

Then Qingning sent another message.

[Silly, of course, you’re the one I care about the most. It’s just that you have such a good physique and are so capable. Being able to swim with someone in your arms for so long is amazing. Just thinking about it makes me happy. I don’t have to worry about you. You’re the best!]

Upon seeing this message, Shen Qiaoyu couldn’t help but curl her lips upward, but quickly restrained herself and continued to respond, [Yeah, I’m fine. I’ve done weighted swimming in the military before. I was so exhausted back then, almost drowned.]

[Pats.jpg]

The other person replied, [That must have been tough.]

Yes, Shen Qiaoyu thought back to that time and couldn’t help but darken her gaze. If it weren’t for someone intentionally bothering and annoying her, she wouldn’t have left so abruptly.

Due to her physical condition, she had been selected for the most rigorous training team as soon as she enlisted. She trained as a special forces soldier. She had a good relationship with a girl initially. They trained together, ate together, shared the same dormitory, and they were almost inseparable. But then something went wrong…

She really couldn’t accept that relentless pursuit. It seriously disrupted her training, mainly because she had no interest in that girl.

But she had fallen for Qingning in just one night.

Whether it was love born from lust or something else, she had simply fallen.
