Chapter Seventy-Three: A Confused Relationship

  "Give me a reason, if it's just because you like Xia Xuan and want me to quit, then sorry, I don't accept this reason!" Lu Lingfeng could see that Jiang Jue wasn't simply infatuated with Xia Xuan. If he were, his reaction should have been the same as Wang Rui's.

  "How much do you know about Xia Xian?"

  Jiang Jie asked faintly, was it just to understand Xia Xian that he could be with Xia Xian? That was something from the past, nowadays' Xia Xian wouldn't be like that.

  But it was precisely because Jiang Liche knew Xia Xian like the back of his hand that he ended up hurting her so badly, hurting the woman he loved most, pushing her far away from his world, and never intersecting again. Looking back, everything had changed.

  "Not understanding each other at all, but that doesn't hinder our interactions. Any couple starts from being strangers and becomes familiar, knowing each other inside out is called incest."

  Lu Lingfeng was rather nonchalant, and at present, he wasn't even clear about his feelings towards Xia Xian. He neither rejected nor drew close to him, and even if he did get close, it would be unintentionally.

  "Since it's like this, let's have a fair competition with Xia Xuan."

  "What about Wu Jiajia? I'm alone, and what about you? Settle your own emotional affairs first, then come pursue Xia Xian, otherwise it's an insult to her."

  Lu Lingfeng smiled faintly, "You, Jiang Jue, are really quite interesting! You eat from the bowl and look at the pot, you don't seem like a playboy, so why do you have so many romantic entanglements in your belly?"

  "Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it." Jiang Jie was full of confidence.

  Xuan Xuan, I hurt you once and I will absolutely never let you get hurt again. No one can ever hurt you!

  But Jiang Jie, did you know? By doing this, it's equivalent to indirectly harming Xia Xuan!

  "Xuan Xuan, have you thought about what to do next?" Mo Xiao Xiao sighed and looked up at the sky.

  She was puzzled, having stayed in Beijing quietly for three years without incident, but now that graduation is approaching, all sorts of troubles are emerging one after another. Is this a deliberate attempt to prevent her from ending on a perfect note?

  "I'm imagining a scenario, if you were to accept Xue Zhi Xiang's pursuit, what would be the outcome?" Xia Xuan looked at Mo Xiao curiously.

  Xue Zhi Xiang's concern for Mo Xiao Xiao, Zhang Zhi Bo had already told Xia Xian about it, hoping that Xia Xian could persuade Mo Xiao Xiao. However, what Xia Xian understood more clearly was that Mo Xiao Xiao would not easily give up on Yang Yan Jie, so she decided to test her intentions first.

  "Open, play, laugh!" Mo Xiao Xiao stared with wide eyes, saying one word at a time.

  "If she agrees, next time we meet will be in the underworld." Zhang Zhibo said with a smile.

  "You think I haven't thought of this problem? Although I don't have any feelings for Xue Zhi Xiang, but now I'm in this situation all because of him! Of course, I want to take revenge! The best way isn't it to be with him and then deceive his emotions, wait until he can't extricate himself from me, and then kick him away? But is this interesting? I ask myself, it's not something I can do. Besides, would Wu Xin Xin let me off so easily? I have to consider my own life, so even if the stakes are high, I won't gamble like this." Mo Xiao Xiao simply analyzed.

  She was telling the truth, she didn't have the heart to play with emotions, so at first she would say "have a love affair that doesn't break up" to Yang Yanjie. In fact, Mo Xiao had never broken up, it was only Yang Yanjie who did.

  "I'm with Lu Lingfeng now." Xia Xuan lowered his head, as if he had committed a crime.

  "What?! You two are really playing for real?!" Mo Xiao was clearly startled by this news.

  Although she could see that the two of them had somewhat different feelings for each other, the fact that they were together so quickly still surprised Mo Xiao.

  "It's not really true either. He is my nominal boyfriend, and I am his nominal girlfriend. We are nominally together." Xia Xuan sighed and explained slowly.

  "Your meaning is, I also have a nominal boyfriend?" Mo Xiao's gaze turned to Zhang Zhibo, Zhang Zhibo took a deep breath, sister, what are you playing? But if it's true, he wouldn't mind.

  "Actually, at first I wanted to make a big deal out of this matter. I thought I'd accept Wang Rui's pursuit and then use the Wang family to take down the Wu family. Without their family backing, the two young ladies from the Wu family would be nothing. But I found that I couldn't do it. I want to live a quiet life, so this is also an unavoidable measure." Xia Xuan was very troubled.

  "Xuanxuan, I know you're doing this for my own good and to vent on my behalf, but let's not hurt ourselves like this. The wicked will get their due, I'll consider your suggestion, but obviously Zhibo isn't suitable!" Mo Xuanxuan comforted.

  "Shall we just drop it then?" Xia Xuan asked.

  "We can give up now, but whether to put a period or an ellipsis depends on Miss Wu's decision, and we have no say in it." Mo Xuanxuan shook his head helplessly.

  She wanted to let things go, but for some reason, she always felt like there was something more going on. Especially with Xia Xuan, she always felt that something about him wasn't quite right, but specifically what it was, Mo Xiao couldn't quite put her finger on, so she just let it be.

  "Sister, do you know that Xia Xuan and Lu Lingfeng are together?" Wu Xin asked her sister Wu Jiajia while applying a face mask.

  "They two got together?" Wu Jiajia didn't believe this news at all.

  "Exactly, this afternoon in Mo Xiao's hospital room, the two of them were intimate and inseparable, just like a pair of lovers!" Wu Xinxin said, staring at the ceiling.

  "They've only known each other for a few days, and they're already getting cozy? This isn't Xiaoxian's style!" Wu Jiajia's heart started racing, what trick was Xiaoxian playing now?!

  "Look at her flirting, she must have been single for too long and can't stand the loneliness, so anyone with a bit of looks is okay in her eyes! But I just don't get it, why not choose Wang Shao? Wang Shao is a rich second generation!" Wu Xinxin looked at her own beautiful nails, carefully polishing the newly done nail art.

  "This thing won't be so simple, Xia Xian won't easily find someone to send himself out, there must be a catch!" Wu Jiajia's fingers tapped rhythmically on the magazine cover, her mind starting to think of some bad idea.

  "What's your plan, sister?" Wu Xinxin asked with a glance.

  "If they dare to say they're a couple, then let's release another issue of the magazine, stating that Xia Xian rejected Wang Shao because of Lu Lingfeng!" Wu Jiajia's face revealed a sly smile.

  "Today, Mei Ting went with me together, on the way back I asked her to continue reporting, but she said she's not interested in small characters, last time it was because Wang Shao instructed her, that's why she dared to write like that, this time if Wang Shao can't come down from his high horse, she won't be able to eat and walk away." Wu Xin Xin helplessly spread out her hands, indicating that she had the heart but not the power.

  "Guān Měitíng isn't such a timid person, otherwise she wouldn't have the nickname 'poisonous tongue' reporter. Is there something else going on here?" Wú Jiājiā leaned against her cheek, starting to think about the whole thing from start to finish.

  Jiang Jie Zhe lay on his bed in a big character shape, with a very confused mind.

  He absolutely wouldn't believe Xia Xuan would be with Lu Lingfeng because...

  "River - is my faith!"

  That's what Xia Xian said to Jiang Liche's friends back then, but at that time, Xia Xian hadn't been deeply hurt, hadn't been wounded all over her body, hadn't hovered between life and death, hadn't lost everything... Now she probably doesn't have any faith left.

  Perhaps it's impossible to love someone again, are you going to hurt her again ruthlessly? This is unfair to her!

  At first, when they went from high school to university, the two chose to attend the same university so as not to suffer from a long-distance relationship. However, it turned out that being in the same university was even more painful.

  No one could have predicted that the story would be so heart-wrenching. If I had known it would turn out like this, I might as well have chosen a long-distance relationship from the start. With just the two of us relying on our hearts and love for each other, the distance wouldn't have mattered... but...
