I Heard That I am a HeartBreaker - Chapter 92

Lu Chen looked at the other woman. From just a few short sentences of conversation, she had already guessed that Shuangshuang was only with this junior to escape their pursuit.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen only felt a deep sadness. What was their love? If their love was nothing but a burden to Shuangshuang, then it shouldn’t exist at all.

“Whether I am happy or not is my business; it has nothing to do with you…”

Qiu Shuang wanted to say something harsh, to tell the other person to get lost and stay far away so that she wouldn’t feel so miserable.

But in the end, the cruel words remained unsaid. She was always like this, unable to say truly nasty things to others. It was as if, because she had heard too many cruel words herself in the past, she wanted to treat others with kindness—even though this kindness never yielded good results, and instead allowed people to walk all over her time and time again.

Lu Chen saw Qiu Shuang’s hesitation. She thought she should let go, or perhaps reflect deeply on certain issues. She had to find a way to pull the other woman back, or rather, find a way to make Qiu Shuang happy.

Just as she had once thought: it didn’t matter who Qiu Shuang was with, as long as she was happy, Lu Chen was willing to let go.

But it was obvious that the other woman wasn’t happy at all right now; she was in pain, and the root of that pain, ironically, came from them.

“Shuangshuang, I want you to be happy.”

After watching the other woman walk away, Qiu Shuang let out a sigh. For her, arguing with people was truly a difficult task.

Actually, Qiu Shuang really wanted to grab the other person by the collar and demand to know why they did this, but in the end, she only remained silent.

When Xin Zhu arrived, what she saw was Qiu Shuang sitting there, silently weeping. To be honest, she had never seen her cry before; even when the truth was exposed, she had only been silent.

And now, seeing her shed tears because of someone else’s actions, Xin Zhu felt incredibly jealous. Why weren’t these tears shed for her?

Senior, who do you actually love in your heart? Who is the one you really care about? The answer had actually long been expressed by Qiu Shuang, but no one could see it—Qiu Shuang herself hadn’t even realized it.

Xin Zhu found it hilarious. Who would have thought that she would be the one to discover the answer? But she wouldn’t say a word; Xin Zhu certainly didn’t want the Senior to grow old with anyone else.

She wanted to watch and see exactly when these awkward people would finally open their arms to one another.

“Regrettably, I didn’t come at the right time.”

Qiu Shuang looked at her and wiped the tears from her face with her fingers. The moment Xin Zhu looked at her, she felt her heart racing incredibly fast.

That pitiful expression and gaze of the other woman somehow attracted her even more. Sure enough, she was a genuine pervert.

“Senior, don’t look at me with such a contemptuous gaze, or I really won’t be able to stop myself from doing something to you.”

“Oh, then you really are quite the pervert.”

Xin Zhu smiled and, like a salute, raised her hand to signal the other to place her hand in her palm.

Qiu Shuang cooperated habitually. The two of them stood up and walked toward the distance, their silhouettes reflected in the dimming sunlight.

Xin Zhu watched as their shadows grew longer and longer, until they reached the shadows where no trace of them could be seen anymore.

“I’m out of the running, aren’t I?”

“What do you mean?”

Qiu Shuang answered indifferently while continuing to walk. Xin Zhu looked at her.

“Since Senior agreed to be my ‘contract girlfriend,’ that means you will absolutely never actually be with me, right? After all, in Senior’s world, people who are truly worthy of respect and love can never be tainted by these fake things. Both I and Senior Chen Jining have been eliminated, haven’t we?”

“You’re very smart. And then? I’m not the College Entrance Exam, nor am I a postgraduate or civil service exam. Being eliminated by me isn’t some world-ending event.”

Xin Zhu smiled and looked toward the distant horizon, her thoughts drifting to the past. Love, it seemed, truly wasn’t the most important thing in a person’s life.

But love wouldn’t stop; it seemed it would always be tightly cherished by people until the day they completely ceased to be—only then would they forget it all.

“Yeah, it really isn’t that important, Senior. It’s just… it makes one very sad.”

Qi Sijiao was waiting for the judgment of fate, or rather, waiting to be kicked out. She truly didn’t understand where she was inferior to Xin Zhu. According to her past experience, her appearance should definitely be more popular than Xin Zhu’s.

She had practically begged to be played with by the other woman, so why hadn’t she moved up in rank yet? After thinking about it, however, Qi Sijiao stopped obsessing over it. Anyway, as long as the hoe works hard enough, there’s no corner of the wall that can’t be dug out. Qi Sijiao didn’t believe she couldn’t beat a woman like Xin Zhu.

Regardless, for Qi Sijiao, things couldn’t get any worse.

The only thing she worried about was the Senior questioning her. Sure enough, that GPS tracker had been discovered, and the Senior probably knew she was the one who placed it.

She had already used the excuse of dating to avoid suspicion and drive her away. After all, based on Qi Sijiao’s understanding of Qiu Shuang, the woman would never let her partner feel insecure—just like during the year she dated that Senior Chen Jining.

The Senior didn’t even have many female friends around her then. Well, the Senior didn’t really have many friends to begin with.

Thinking of this, Qi Sijiao felt a bit strange. It seemed that besides them, the Senior really didn’t have any other friends. Where did those friends go? Were they driven away by them, or did the Senior just choose not to socialize?

Remembering that before they arrived, the Senior had always been a loner and seemed very used to solitude, Qi Sijiao clenched her fists.

The Senior was perfectly adapted to living alone, but they were the ones who could not adapt to a life without Qiu Shuang.

Qi Sijiao didn’t know why this thing had eventually turned into a kind of obsession, tightly winding around her chest, or perhaps it was a kind of refusal to admit defeat.

Qi Sijiao was unwilling to lose to someone like Xin Zhu. If it were anyone else, she could calmly say it was a deep childhood affection or a long-term bond, but why did it have to be Xin Zhu?

That woman, who had inexplicably been competing with her since high school, had somehow won the Senior’s heart, while she was left far behind in this race.

Qi Sijiao sat on the bed lost in thought, her hands stroking her own face as she looked at her features in the mirror, completely unable to fathom where she had lost.

After a while, Qi Sijiao lowered her head. Maybe… the Senior didn’t like proactive women like her?

Did she prefer someone more reserved and shy?

When Qiu Shuang pushed the door open, this was the scene she saw: the other girl was sitting in the corner with a distressed face, seemingly deep in thought. To be honest, now that everything had been brought into the light, looking at this felt a bit ridiculous.

The hidden details of the past were now connected. Qiu Shuang felt she had looked down on herself a bit too much; after all, what normal person would ever imagine that all these people she was close to would inexplicably be in love with her?

Qiu Shuang felt that even a Mary Sue novel wouldn’t dare to write such a bold plot. Thinking of this, she shook her head.

“Long time no see, Junior.”

Qi Sijiao looked at her, surprised to see her greeting her so casually. Their relationship seemed to have returned to how it was before everything was out in the open.

Qi Sijiao thought seriously: Is it because she’s in a relationship now that she doesn’t care about us as much? Qiu Shuang didn’t know what the other was thinking; she simply didn’t want to play with this group of people anymore.

After all, that’s how people are. When you treat someone as a friend, you always have to pretend a little, showing your best side as much as possible. But when you no longer want to please them or be their friend, those things don’t need to be faked.

Qiu Shuang’s moral bottom line was very high, and her values were normal. From every angle, she was a very good person.

But that didn’t mean she had a good temper. Although everyone thought Qiu Shuang was a kind girl, in reality, among those who had witnessed her other side, no one would think she was a good-tempered girl.

No one knew about these hidden sides—not even Song Ya, who claimed to be Qiu Shuang’s best friend. After all, the Eldest Miss only cared about the emotional value her follower provided; she wouldn’t care what was actually going on in the follower’s head.

“You look surprised. Are you not used to me returning to a normal state with you now? Humph, do I have to mock you with a few cold words for you to be satisfied?”

Qi Sijiao’s eyes widened. This looked quite “out of character.” She truly didn’t expect the Senior to say such impolite words.

“Senior, are you okay? That dead girl didn’t do something to you, did she?”

Qi Sijiao couldn’t figure out how the gentle, seemingly normal Senior of the past could become like this overnight!

It was impossible for the Senior to turn “bad” in a single night. Therefore, there was only one conclusion: that dead girl Xin Zhu had corrupted her!

She knew it! That wicked woman who only knew how to make her exes kneel and beg for mercy would definitely not do anything good. They had probably been gone for a few days, and the other woman had already done something sordid.

As the ancient saying goes, your enemy is the person who knows you best. Qi Sijiao believed she was the woman who understood Xin Zhu best in this world—that woman was a master of disguise.

She could churn out over 800 different personas a day to woo young girls. Even though she was frequently called out on the campus “confession wall” as someone to avoid.

But the truth was, no one could refuse a woman with exceptional looks and a seemingly sincere heart. Everyone would think they were the “final work” in this pervert’s collection, but in reality, they were just the next stamp.

“Interesting.”

After Qiu Shuang said this, she ignored the other woman completely. She walked straight to the bathroom to wash up, then lay on the bed and pulled up the covers, acting as if nothing had happened.

Sure enough, these people were so strange. Once she showed even a sliver of her inner self, they would explode with disbelief.

Lying under the covers, Qiu Shuang found it a bit funny. she couldn’t forget the look on Qi Sijiao’s face when she said that—it was as if she thought Qiu Shuang had been possessed.

Seeing that the Senior was ignoring her, Qi Sijiao felt relieved. To be honest, maybe she was a bit of a masochist; at this moment, she felt that what the Senior was doing was right.

Sure enough, in Senior’s heart, I still have a chance. But it’s okay, I’ll just be a good ‘third party’ and keep digging. Xin Zhu isn’t anything good anyway, and since they just started dating, they’re in the honeymoon phase. It doesn’t matter.

Relationships between people are like eating; there’s no way the upper teeth won’t occasionally hit the lower teeth. Qi Sijiao would eventually find a perfect opportunity to make her move.
