Shen Xingye asked me to take his dog for a walk while he went to the store. I was initially hesitant, but then Shen Xingye mentioned it would be two hundred for the day. I could walk the dog and make some money at the same time. Deal!
Since I had no classes today, I ran downstairs and bought two bags of dog treats to officially start my job. As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone who is smiling at you. Thanks to the treats, my relationship with Shen Wansan improved rapidly. Seeing him obediently let me pet him, Shen Xingye couldn't help but scoff, "Hmph, a mother is only as good as her milk." Shen Wansan ignored him completely, wagging his tail and happily following me out.
Just as we stepped out of the community gate, a pretty girl blocked my path. "Isn't that Shen Xingye's dog?" she asked. "What are you doing walking Shen Xingye's dog?" The accusatory tone in her voice was hard to miss.
I quickly explained that Shen Xingye had asked me to take his dog for a walk. The girl clearly didn't believe me; her gaze swept over me, and her eyebrows shot up in disbelief. "Then why are you wearing Shen Xingye's clothes?"
At that moment, I felt my face heat up. I had overslept that morning, and when Shen Wansan tried to wake me, he accidentally tore a small hole in my shirt while trying to pull me out of bed. If Shen Xingye hadn't told me before leaving, I wouldn't have even noticed.
Just as I was trying to figure out how to explain myself, the girl suddenly got angry and huffed, "Another wild woman trying to get close to Shen Xingye, huh? You want to steal the dog to grab his attention?"
"I've seen plenty of people like you; just give me back my dog." She suddenly lunged for the leash. But Shen Wansan, known for being quite slippery, was not going to let go easily. Besides, he represented my two hundred bucks for the day!
I swear to defend my sponsor with my life. I plopped down on the ground, gripping the dog leash tightly, and wrapped my arms around Shen Wansan's neck. I shouted, "How dare you! Robbing a civilian's dog in broad daylight!" Shen Wansan cooperated perfectly, letting out a "woof" to express his dissatisfaction. We looked like a pair of unfortunate mother and daughter being snatched by human traffickers, drawing the attention of passersby.
"You!" The girl's face twisted in anger. Suddenly, she saw something, stomped her foot, and regained her arrogance: "Just wait." I followed the direction of her gaze. Emerging in the morning light was Shen Xingye, frowning. The girl quickly ran up to him to take credit: "Xingye, that woman is wearing your clothes and trying to take Shen Wansan away. Luckily, I stopped her."
However, Shen Xingye bypassed her directly and walked over to me, lifting me up as if I were a small chick. "Let's go," he said, taking my hand. The smile on the girl's face instantly vanished as she chased after us again: "What is your relationship?" Shen Xingye lazily raised his eyes: "Does it concern you?"
Tears almost welled up in the girl's eyes: "Shen Xingye, don't forget we have an engagement!" Oi~ It seems I've stumbled upon some juicy gossip. But why did my heart feel sour and uncomfortable? I unconsciously pulled my hand back a little, only to have Shen Xingye grab it firmly again, intertwining our fingers.
His voice carried a lazy impatience as he addressed the girl: "Sister, please wake up. I've never liked you." He smiled and added, "Do you think that's why my father stopped my allowance?" He continued, "Even if your family doesn't break off the engagement, I will." So, Shen Xingye had cut off his living expenses to avoid marrying her? That was quite bold of him. He would rather sell Egg Fried Rice than bow down to his father.
At this point, the girl could no longer contain herself and glared at me: "Is it because of her?"
"Shen Xingye, I advise you to wake up."
"I've seen plenty of women like her; they are only after your money."
Shen Xingye smiled instead of answering, "Aren't you?"
"If I were poor and broke, would you want to marry me?"
The girl gritted her teeth, unwilling to admit, "Would she marry you then?"
Shen Xingye lowered his head, his large hand covering my head as he gently rubbed it.
With a certainty mixed with ease, he said, "She would."
"But I wouldn't want to."
Shen Xingye had always been the center of attention at school.
So when I heard gossip about him at the school supermarket, I wasn't surprised at all.
"Have you heard? Shen Xingye is going to marry Ji Rushan."
"Isn't she the beauty from the Finance Department?"
"Yes, yes! I heard Shen Xingye hasn't been attending classes these days because he's preparing for this."
That day, I asked Shen Xingye what those words meant.
He just smiled, sent me back to my dormitory, and mysteriously said, "You'll know tomorrow."
But the next day, Shen Xingye did not show up as promised.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and my Egg Fried Rice order still hadn't received a reply.
My hand paused on the shelf; after hesitating for a long time, I still didn't know what to take.
I realized I was feeling lost.
This wasn't good.
In a daze, a figure appeared in front of me.
It was Qin Heng.
He seemed to be in a good mood as he casually grabbed a bottle of coffee and said, "Here, have this."
I walked around him to leave: "No need."
But he quickly blocked my way again:
"Yuyu, you heard it too."
"What kind of outcome can there be between someone like Shen Xingye, that rich young master, and you?"
"It's just for fun; if you take it seriously, you'll lose."
I was a bit annoyed: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Qin Heng took a deep breath, unusually serious:
"Yuyu, I just want you to know."
"I'm different from Shen Xingye; my feelings for you are genuine."
What a weirdo, I'm already irritated.
I tossed a bag of dried plums into his arms.
"Even if there's no outcome with Shen Xingye, there won't be one with you either."
"Could you please gather yourself and leave gracefully?"
Seeing that I was unyielding, he simply took out his phone and showed me a photo.
In the picture, Shen Xingye was hugging the girl I had seen last time.
Since it was taken from behind, I couldn't see Shen Xingye's expression.
I also couldn't tell if he was enjoying himself.
Although I didn't want to admit it, Qin Heng's words did affect me.
My heart felt like it was being constricted by vines, making it harder to breathe.
Qin Heng continued to casually advise me:
"I don't need to say much more."
"Yuyu, Shen Xingye isn't right for you."
Before he could finish speaking.
"Who am I not suitable for? You?"
"Do you even deserve it?"
At the end of my line of sight, Shen Xingye appeared with his hands in his pockets.
He casually picked up a toy sword from the nearby shelf and poked it at Qin Heng's chest:
"Don't let me see you bothering my Lin Yu again."
Wait, my... Lin Yu?
Qin Heng is someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Catching sight of Shen Xingye's expensive Patek Philippe on his wrist, I unconsciously swallowed hard.
But this time, for some reason, I didn't leave immediately.
With a slap, he knocked the toy sword off my chest.
"Is having money enough to do whatever you want?"
"You already have a fiancée and you're still trying to flirt with Lin Yu."
"I won't say who is shameless."
I was taken aback, internally leaning towards the belief that Shen Xingye wasn't that kind of person.
But I couldn't explain his disappearance these past few days.
"A loser grasping at straws."
Shen Xingye snorted coldly, turned to look at me, and softly coaxed,
"I've already called off the wedding."
"The reason I haven't contacted you these past few days is complicated."
"Give me a chance to explain and apologize properly, okay?"
I looked at Shen Xingye and felt that the sincerity in his eyes didn't seem fake.
Finally, I let out a breath and told Qin Heng to get lost.
"A photo doesn't prove anything."
"Until Shen Xingye explains himself to me, I won't listen to your side of the story."
After saying that, I looked at Shen Xingye.
He relaxed his shoulders and smiled slightly.
His large hand rested on my head as he beamed, "Good girl."
Qin Heng wanted to say something else.
But upon seeing a few tall guys behind Shen Xingye, he fell silent.
So Shen Xingye crouched slightly, his long arm wrapping around my waist.
With a lift, he... pulled me away.
