Chapter 34: He Cares About You
Gu Jin’s eyes widened in surprise . Of all people, why would Cheng Xin speak so self-righteously about being ‘faithful’? This was simply ridiculous .
She lowered her eyes and suddenly smiled . “You didn’t know? That I broke up with Shao Chong?”
“Broke up?” Cheng Xin repeated . “How did you break up? Did Shao Chong did something wrong to you?”
Cheng Xin angrily said: “Well Shao Chong, how dare you bully my best sister . Gu Jin, you wait, I’ll bring Jing Hao with me to go teach that guy a good lesson!”
“It’s not his fault,” Gu Jin explained . “I was the one who broke up with him . ”
Just when Cheng Xin was about to make a phone call, she suddenly paused in disbelief at what she heard . “How can…you were the one that…”
She knew Gu Jin’s temper and how much she liked Shao Chong .
While she did had not confirmed her relations.h.i.+p with Jing Hao, every time they went out with a group of people Gu Jin would always look at Shao Chong and quietly blush .
Cheng Xin had never met a girl as reserved and gentle as Gu Jin .
So after she rejected Shao Chong, she helped to put the couple get together .
To her, Gu Jin and Shao Chong were two very kind people who would definitely have a happy life together .
But now Gu Jin was telling her that she gave up Shao Chong, and Cheng Xin could not understand .
“That’s because person he likes is not me!” Gu Jin said openly . “Mom told me that I shouldn’t find a man who doesn’t like me so that my future won’t become a tragedy . ”
“That’s because person he likes is not me!” Gu Jin said openly . “Mom told me that I shouldn’t find a man who doesn’t like me so that my future won’t become a tragedy . ”
Cheng Xin opened her mouth and but found herself speechless . She couldn’t bring herself to admit that the person Shao Chong liked all along was her .
“Well, you can’t just find another man and be together right away,” she muttered after a long pause .
Gu Jin raised an eyebrow . “You, don’t know who that man was?”
Cheng Xin wasn’t able to see the new boyfriend’s appearance from such a far distance . She frowned and asked curiously, “Should I know him? Who is he?”
“No one,” Gu Jin a.s.sured with a smile . “I’m not feeling well . I’m going to take a bath first, and you should sleep early because there are cla.s.ses tomorrow . ”
“Yeah . ” Cheng Xin moved away .
As Gu Jin was about to close the door Cheng Xin couldn’t help but say: “Gu Jin, I think you should reconsider Shao Chong . He has been asking me about you for the past few days . ”

She pushed down the slight discomfort in her heart and said, “He cares about you . ”
“Yeah, I know,” Gu Jin replied, then closed the door .
Gu Jin took a hot bath, completely exhausted . Later when she lay in bed with a hot-water bottle, she felt bewildered as she thought of the events earlier that day .
He could she agree to Mu Mingcheng’s ridiculous demands?
Was it too late to go back?
It was definitely too late .
Her cellphone chimed with a message from Mu Mingcheng .
Her cellphone chimed with a message from Mu Mingcheng .
“Baby, go to bed early . You don’t have to call me today . ”
The term of endearment alarmed Gu Jin and she dropped her phone on the bed . She shuddered as gooseb.u.mps p.r.i.c.kled on her skin .
She thought for a moment, then picked up her cellphone and changed the name on the contact list to ‘Idiot Tyrant Mu’ .
