I Heard That I am a HeartBreaker - Chapter 95
She had a stable job here now, and she had sworn never to return to that place. As for the things Gu Su had mentioned, they had vanished like a stone sinking into the sea since that day—most likely, there would be no follow-up, and Zhang Heming no longer cared.
She thought she had long since forgotten the prosperity of Beijing and everything that had happened there. But in reality, every night when Zhang Heming closed her eyes, she would still dream; she would dream of that place.
However, later on, a hazy figure began to appear in the depths of every night. Zhang Heming didn’t know what Qiu Feng looked like; she only knew the person’s voice and the things they said. She felt that the other person must be someone very gentle.
Zhang Heming waited for Qiu Feng’s reply.
Ding, ding, ding. The specific notification sound for a “Special Concern” rang out. Zhang Heming immediately and swiftly picked up her phone. Her eager appearance made a colleague beside her chuckle.
“What’s up with Old Zhang? Staring at the phone with a long face every day—could it be that she’s in love?”
Zhang Heming didn’t pay attention to the teasing between colleagues. She simply clicked on the screen hurriedly, waiting impatiently for the other person’s reply. Was the other person sick? Or had they encountered something bad? Zhang Heming felt her mind was in a total mess.
Qiu Feng: It’s nothing. I ran into some things and was forced into another relationship…
Looking at the message on the screen, Zhang Heming understood what it meant. Qiu Feng had told her before that in order to avoid certain troubles, they had once been in a “contract relationship.”
And now? What bad thing had happened again to make the other party engage in this so-called contract love once more?
Was it that annoying first love hurting them again?
Zhang Heming didn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t like a person as good as Qiu Feng. The other party’s inconsistency was even more incomprehensible to her. Was it because of cowardice? Or was it due to a natural tendency toward being “lowly”?
Two Large Grains of Rice: Did something bad happen again?
In the quiet night, Qiu Shuang looked at the message from the other side and sighed. She didn’t actually have any place where she had invested her true heart. The internet provided everyone with a beautiful filter; at least here, she could say anything without anyone refuting her or intentionally prying into who she was.
Qiu Feng: Two Large Grains of Rice, I’m thinking about a question. Tell me, why are people so strange? Why can they inexplicably like someone and become so perverted? My heart has been very messy lately. I don’t know how to face those so-called suitors of mine.
Qiu Feng: I don’t know why they like me, and I don’t know why they do what they do. I thought liking someone and pursuing them meant silently guarding them or making them a better person. But I didn’t expect that in order to be with me, they would play so many little tricks, even to the point of letting themselves get hurt.
Looking at the message on the screen, Zhang Heming clenched her fists. She knew Qiu Feng was a very good person, a very tolerant person. People like that were inevitably surrounded by “flies”—at least, that’s how it looked in Zhang Heming’s eyes.
She looked at the words on the screen, imagining the other person’s sad expression. Why did someone as good as Qiu Feng always have to encounter so much rubbish?
Why did these so-called suitors claim to love someone while constantly committing such filthy acts?
At this moment, Zhang Heming had never wanted more to grow a pair of wings and fly to the other person’s side to comfort them. But immediately, the cage of reality pulled her back.
Two Large Grains of Rice: I’m so sorry that I’m so far away from you. If I were by your side, maybe I could help you.
Qiu Shuang looked at the reply on the screen and smiled. At least in her impression, “Two Large Grains of Rice” was that kind of person. Perhaps because they had entered society, the other party was very tolerant and willing to solve problems for her. Qiu Shuang had only felt this kind of feeling around Lu Chen.
However, between the two, Qiu Shuang was more willing to reveal her true feelings to this person. Yet, precisely because she revealed her inner thoughts, Qiu Shuang was unwilling to meet in person.
It was a bit strange to say, but people are willing to discuss things randomly with total strangers, yet they often remain silent toward those who are somewhat familiar.
Qiu Feng: Two Large Grains of Rice, you’ve already helped me enough. If we actually met, maybe I wouldn’t pour my heart out to you or chat this much. After all, I still can’t accept telling the people around me about the fragility in my heart.
Two Large Grains of Rice: I am honored to be your listener.
Qiu Shuang saw the reply and smiled, then lay on the bed, turned off her phone, and fell into deep thought.
Sometimes the fate between people is hard to explain, and it feels like a series of mistakes. Just like now, Qiu Shuang felt that “Two Large Grains of Rice” was a very good person, and “Two Large Grains of Rice” also understood the real Qiu Shuang.
But if they were to truly meet, Qiu Shuang would be unwilling. If “Two Large Grains of Rice” weren’t her online friend but someone by her side, Qiu Shuang wouldn’t be willing to say so much to her.
Going in circles, there always have to be those discrepancies.
Zhang Heming was replying to the messages when she was forced to interrupt the conversation by a colleague’s call. After realizing the other party was temporarily fine, the busy-with-work Zhang Heming could only reply “later” before throwing herself cautiously into her tasks.
Qiu Shuang sighed. Being a corporate slave really wasn’t easy.
At this very moment, Gu Lingxi, who had also become a “beast of burden,” bit her lip hard. Her sister was busy dealing with the affairs of the Second Branch, so the company side couldn’t be left unattended.
Fortunately, although Gu Lingxi wasn’t as seasoned or sharp as Gu Su, she could at least help share the burden. Plus, as a senior in her fourth year, she was supposed to be interning anyway and didn’t spend much time at school. Playing the role of a corporate cow came quite naturally to her.
“So annoying! When it rains, it pours.”
Gu Lingxi really felt irritated. The junior she liked now had someone she liked. If she wanted to “steal” her away, it would probably be extremely difficult. But she couldn’t give up either.
Finally, just as she was about to take action, things flared up again on the Second Branch’s side, dragging out a whole mess of trouble.
The more Gu Lingxi thought about it, the angrier she got. All of this originated from that damned piece of clothing. Thinking about it, the results of that competition should be out in about a week. Sigh, if Gu Su hadn’t helped back then, it probably wouldn’t have become such a hassle.
Complaining aside, Gu Lingxi still cared about the results of the competition. After all, there were only so many contestants, and she wasn’t sure who the prize would fall to.
Even though she knew deep down whose head the final award would land on, she was still worried about the other party’s schemes. After some thought, Gu Lingxi gave Gu Su a call.
In a hotel room late at night, on a pristine white bed, two hands were tightly clasped together, though the hand on the bottom was resisting quite fiercely.
When Gu Su heard the phone ring, she didn’t even think about it; she directly hung up and threw it aside. She was in no mood to answer the phone right now, as she had more important things waiting for her to do.
“Get lost!”
Tang Yulin really couldn’t figure it out. She had set a series of traps, yet she had somehow managed to get her own person caught in them.
“My little sweetheart, I’ll get lost in a bit.”
Gu Su casually responded to the other’s words while pressing down again.
Tang Yulin was practically going crazy with rage.
To make matters worse, Gu Su didn’t just do it; her mouth was “unclean,” insisting on reciting those unbearable, lewd words.
“As expected of a dance major… Miss Tang’s flexibility is indeed impressive.”
Tang Yulin had lived for over twenty years and never imagined that her proud dance skills and talent could actually be used for this kind of thing.
“How can I compare to President Gu? Hmph! If the entertainment gossip rags knew that the dignified eldest Miss Gu was actually a lesbian, I really wonder if it would make all of Beijing shake three times.”
“They wouldn’t dare report on me. Let alone me being a lesbian—even if I liked ladyboys, they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. Miss Tang should worry about herself first. If you keep biting down, your lip is going to bleed.”
While Tang Yulin gripped the edge of the pillow tightly, she bit her lower lip hard. Gu Su smiled as she watched the other woman’s beautiful, cold face turn bright red.
She was someone who never mistreated herself. Since she liked it, she would find a way to get it. Besides, based on her observations, the other party wasn’t resisting that much, was she?
As for whether she would be insulted or even beaten tomorrow morning, for Gu Su, that was a problem for tomorrow.
Gu Lingxi looked at the hung-up phone with a face full of question marks. What is this? After thinking about it, she continued her “deadly persistent” calling.
She didn’t care where Gu Su was right now; she had to call her first to secure Tang Yulin’s spot.
Gu Su had never hated smart products so much. One interruption after another—no matter how high the mood was, it was being extinguished. Tang Yulin, however, was extremely grateful to this “lifesaving benefactor” making the calls.
“President Gu should hurry up and answer the phone. The ‘birds and flowers’ outside are probably worried to death.”
Gu Su ignored the other’s sarcasm. She pulled off her own tie, firmly bound the other’s hands together, and tied them to the headboard before picking up the phone.
After Tang Yulin struggled hard and found it only got tighter, she had to give up. Leaning against the headboard, she watched the other’s expression gradually turn extremely ugly.
When she realized what her damn sister was calling for, Gu Su’s head really started to ache.
To have her “good deeds” interrupted over these matters… Tang Yulin didn’t know what was happening on the other end of the line, but seeing the other’s frowning expression, she felt somewhat relieved.
In that case, the other person should lose interest in continuing, right? Thinking this, Tang Yulin looked down at herself.
As a dance student, she usually dieted and had to maintain a sense of power; her physique couldn’t be described as “plump,” especially for the sake of being on camera. Moreover, she wasn’t a curvaceous woman to begin with.
To be honest, Tang Yulin personally felt she was a bit “skin and bones.” Looking at such a body, the other party could still “bite” into it—Tang Yulin was truly shocked by the other’s indiscriminate taste in “meat and vegetables.”
“Mm, I, Tang, have lived for twenty-odd years and never thought President Gu’s taste would be so peculiar. If President Gu likes my type so much, buying some spare ribs from the market would provide the same hand-feel.”
Gu Su had just hung up the phone when she heard the provocation. She smiled. Truth be told, Gu Su didn’t know what kind of person she actually liked.
“Sister Tang is already ‘drooling,’ so what do spare ribs have to do with anything? Let me see where Sister is hurt; it’s no solution to keep ‘drooling’ like this. I’ll give Sister a proper treatment…”
“You!”
Suddenly being thrust into to the hilt, Tang Yulin shuddered. Regarding the “erotic” image of art students proclaimed by the outside world, her emotional history and life experience were actually as clean as a sheet of white paper.
If time could flow backward, Tang Yulin would absolutely not have stepped out of the house today!
