Chapter 25.2: Are You Expecting My Reply?
She scrolled up again, starting with the first unread
message.
Tan Shen: Are you asleep?
Why did Qianmiao change her profile picture to a smoking
man?
Qianmiao's account was hacked?
Qianmiao's hacker's friend, are you planning to borrow
money?
Tan Shen: forget it. Miao, give me some advice. I'm
devastated just hearing this. There's a British guy in my apartment who's been
making crazy advances on me, wanting to be my one and his zero. Oh my god, I
don't know where he gets his confidence from with his chubby body. I told him
I'm a straight guy. I told him you don't even have as many muscles as me, so
forget it. But he won't listen and is determined to make me gay! You have so
many tricks up your sleeve. What do you think I should do?
Seeing this, Chu Qianmiao's eyes slid downwards, stunned.
The question she'd just wanted to ask Qin Qianyu had been sent here by mistake—
Chu Qianmiao, buy him some health supplements?!!!
Thinking about the context, she felt a wave of exclamation
marks forming in her head.
—Tan Shen asked her what she should do about a British man
who was courting him. He wasn't as muscular as him, but wanted to be his top. He'd
asked her what to do, and she'd told him to buy him some health supplements?
Chu Qianmiao burst out laughing. No wonder Tan Shen asked
her about human nature.
This was truly a brilliant misunderstanding.
As she collapsed in laughter, Tan Shen sent her a video
request.
Chu Qianmiao accepted it, laughing.
A bright, handsome face appeared on the screen. Tan Shen was
already 25, but he still exuded a youthful air, like a sunny, boyish figure,
with fair skin, large eyes, a high nose, long eyelashes, and exceptionally
smooth lips. His smile was like a male Yui Aragaki, a flower-like, infectious
energy. She figured it was no wonder the British man had a crush on him; he was
worthy of such a thought.
The three older students in her dorm had told her about Tan
Shen, their classmate. He was the type of male lead in Korean dramas. So many
girls in their department had been eyeing him but couldn't get him, and finally,
he fell into the hands of a junior from another department like you.
"Social networking brings us together, so cherish this relationship,
Miaomiao."
Later, she learned that she and Tan Shen had broken up, and
the main reason for the breakup was because they were both too talkative. The
three older students were completely stunned.
The first older student said, "If you're too talkative,
just shut each other up with your own mouth!" Is that difficult?
The second older student said, "Is that a valid reason
for a breakup? Okay, I've learned that!"
The third older student said, "Miaomiao, you're in your
early twenties and already dating such an outstanding man. You're in such a
high-stakes relationship at such a young age. It's worth it! It's well worth
it!"
Tan Shen on his phone evoked Chu Qianmiao's memories.
"Miao, why did you change your profile picture?"
He started with the first question, tracing back to the
source.
Chu Qianmiao made up a story, "I suddenly think
unshaven men smoking are sexier. Look at that melancholy look in his eyes, that
stubble..."
Tan Shen stopped her. "Stop!" He rubbed his
forehead in the video, creating a handsome expression of endurance. "From
Beijing with Love" I almost vomited watching it with you before. Don't
mention the lines anymore."
He lowered his hand, leaned closer to the screen, and asked
sternly, "You said I should buy health supplements for the British man.
Are you serious? Even if we're broken up, you can't ruin me like this,
right?"
Chu Qianmiao quickly swore to heaven that it was a
misunderstanding. She explained that she actually wanted to buy health
supplements for the boss of Youfei.
"Is your boss old and useless?" Tan Shen asked,
raking his hair, projecting a look of his prime.
Chu Qianmiao wanted to reach through the screen and hit him.
Such a shame.
"Not really, not yet thirty, but almost thirty."
It suddenly occurred to her that Tan Shen must also know Ren Yan, and she
quickly said, "This friend company leader is called Ren Yan, and he's from
our school. Do you remember him?"
Tan Shen exclaimed, "How can that be explained simply
by just remembering him? He must be very impressed. He's my senior, Miao. We're
both in the Finance Department, okay? When we were in school, he even helped
his advisor with our course projects."
Chu Qianmiao looked educated.
Tan Shen suddenly said, "Come to think of it, back
then, Senior Ren was the hottie among the graduate students, and I was the
hottie among the undergraduates. We never had a chance to decide who was the
better of us. Miao, let me ask you, if he and I were standing next to each
other now, who do you think is the hottie?"
Chu Qianmiao's first instinct was to tell Tan Shen to be
nice.
Then she quickly analyzed whether this question was a
life-or-death one, and whether she needed to have a will to survive.
She quickly concluded that she didn't need one. They'd been
apart for so many years, and he'd become her best friend. What was the point?
She smiled into the camera of her phone. "I'm not sure.
How about you and him both sign up for a beauty pageant and see how the judges
judge?"
Tan Shen suddenly put on a serious, affectionate expression.
"I just want to see how you judge. I want to know, even after we've broken
up, am I still the most handsome person in your heart?"
Chu Qianmiao rubbed the goose bumps on her arms. This topic
needed to end quickly.
"Then you're handsome," she said.
"That's too perfunctory!" Tan Shen refused.
"Answer me again!"
Chu Qianmiao: "Just tell me what you want to
hear?"
Tan Shen began to urge, "You can compare us in detail,
looking at height, weight, age, knowledge, and so on. That way, you can really
show how much you care."
Chu Qianmiao felt like mosquitoes were buzzing around her
ears. Not just one. A swarm. She could now fully understand the difficulty
faced by Tang Sanzang's two dark-skinned demons in "A Chinese
Odyssey."
"Hello, everyone." She silenced Tan Shen with
three words.
Tan Shen laughed, a smile as charming as a demon.
"I think so too!"
Chu Qianmiao: "..."
Tan Shen suddenly threw a piece of gossip at her.
"Come to think of it, senior had a girlfriend when he
was abroad. Her name was Li Tang. She was a beautiful, top student at the
university next door to ours during her undergraduate studies. She also majored
in finance. After going abroad, she's now a classmate of mine."
Chu Qianmiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly covered
up the momentary daze by looking at the video.
"You finance students really love to hang out
together!" she said.
Tan Shen continued to fill her in on the gossip surrounding
the finance student community. "Later, Senior was about to return to
China. Li Tang wanted to marry him before he came back, or even get engaged if
they couldn't, because she was worried about him and thought he was so handsome
and outstanding. But Senior said he'd said before the relationship began that
he wasn't a fan of marriage, and Li Tang accepted that as a pretext, which led
to their subsequent relationship. Now she's suddenly changed her mind and is
forcing a marriage. This is a completely off-track development, and it's not a
good thing. They ended up breaking up, and for some reason, they couldn't get
over it. Even after the breakup, Li Tang couldn't stop thinking about Senior.
But it didn't matter. She was going back soon, and she could pick up where she
left off. Oh, and I'll be back too!"
