Chapter 18 New Beginning
After registration, my university campus life began steadily and became very fulfilling.
"Zhou Xiaoning, there's a handsome guy looking for you downstairs."
Handsome guy?
I went downstairs to the Dorm Room lobby and saw the person standing at the entrance was Qin Chi. Under the bright sunlight, he carried a sense of loneliness.
I stopped in my tracks, turned around, and went back upstairs.
My roommate asked curiously, "That was quick?"
My phone rang. It was a message from Qin Chi.
"I'm at your school. Come down for a bit, okay? I'll treat you to a meal."
"No need. I'm busy. Leave."
I put down my phone and put on my Hearing Aid to prepare for the CET-4 exam.
In the evening, my roommate came back.
"Zhou Xiaoning, that handsome guy still hasn't left."
I thought for a moment, picked up my phone. It was time to make things clear.
"Qin Chi, I don't need your apology. You didn't do anything wrong, so there's no need to blame yourself.
Who you chose to believe back then was your freedom.
And I want to sincerely thank you. If you hadn't stood up for me in freshman year and intimidated Liu Tian, things would have been much worse for me.
But considering I bought breakfast for you for three hundred and seventy-one days, let's call it even, okay? "
"Zhou Xiaoning, I'm begging you. Come down."
"Qin Chi, from then on, let's not be friends anymore."
