Chapter 120: Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing Got Into a Fight!

After being snapped at by Lu Lin, Zheng Yanyan was in a foul mood. When she returned to the private room and saw Zhou Yuwen chatting happily with Tao Tian and some other girls, she immediately walked over.Zhou Yuwen asked, "Where’s Lu Lin?"

"She went back to the dorm early."

"Oh."

Zhou Yuwen responded casually, not thinking much of it.

Zheng Yanyan was feeling frustrated. She wasn’t on good terms with Su Qing and Shen Yu, and now things were tense with Lu Lin as well. At this point, it seemed like she only had Zhou Yuwen left.

So after sitting down, she clung to Zhou Yuwen's waist and snuggled into his arms, not caring that others were around. She nestled deeper into his embrace.

Lying in Zhou Yuwen's arms, Zheng Yanyan thought to herself, “Fine, if they don’t want to talk to me, I’ll just move in with my boyfriend and live with him!”

Zhou Yuwen could tell something was off about Zheng Yanyan, but he didn’t take it seriously. He continued chatting with Tao Tian and the others.

Tao Tian mentioned wanting a higher-paying part-time job, and Zhou Yuwen found her a job as a car show model. However, such a job obviously couldn’t just use one girl.

When Manager Zhao heard that Zhou Yuwen could find attractive college students for the job, and at a low price, he eagerly asked, "Bro, could you get me more? We need at least 20 models for this car show. Money’s no problem."

Zhou Yuwen replied, "They’re amateurs. One or two might be fine, but if you take on too many, there will definitely be problems."

"Come on, bro, just do your best and get me more."

Zhou Yuwen wasn’t keen on this. He initially started his labor company to find reliable part-time work for Liu Shuo and his friends, but car show models were a mess to manage.

"I’ll ask around," Zhou Yuwen said.

"Thanks, bro! I owe you!" Manager Zhao sent a 2000-yuan transfer right after. "Here’s a little something for tea!"

Seeing the transfer, Zhou Yuwen refunded it and said, "For financial matters, deal directly with Liu Shuo. If there’s anything specific, you can come to me."

"Got it!"

Recently, there had been several incidents of college students being cheated out of their wages, causing a stir in their circle. Liu Shuo had been leading the fight, and within just a month, he had gathered a group of strong, simple-minded young men around him. These guys, who had come from rural areas to attend school, just wanted decent part-time jobs, but the big city was full of scams targeting honest people like them.

Liu Shuo, who wasn’t short on money, stood up for his friends, and his crew had developed a sense of unity. During their fight for back wages, a few of the young men even cried.

There were some small scuffles during the process, but nothing serious. However, those who had previously tried to scam Liu Shuo's group didn’t dare mess with them again.

Most importantly, after clashing with Liu Shuo's crew, it became harder to find college students willing to do part-time work in the university town. And even when someone was found, the moment anyone tried to scam them, Liu Shuo would immediately call: "Mr. Li, I heard you’re trying to shortchange my brothers?"

"Of course not, Brother Liu! I wouldn’t dare!"

Manager Zhao had also dealt with Liu Shuo several times and realized that, though Liu Shuo was strong, he wasn’t very smart. He always deferred to Zhou Yuwen for decisions: "Don’t talk to me about that. If my bro says it’s okay, I’ll do it."

Manager Zhao was shrewd enough to know that he needed to stay on Zhou Yuwen's good side.

Zhou Yuwen asked Tao Tian if anyone else was interested in doing the car show modeling. "If there are enough people, I’ll gather them for some training. There will be more events like this in the future, so a bit of training will make it easier to find work later."

Zhou Yuwen's plan was to offer 300 yuan per person for the show, with the money going directly to Tao Tian, who would handle the distribution.

Tao Tian was thrilled. Zhou Yuwen was helping her earn money. She raised her glass with a smile, saying, "Thanks, Boss Zhou. Let me toast to you!"

As she toasted, Tao Tian leaned close to Zhou Yuwen, her ample chest and deep cleavage brightly highlighted under the lights. She noticed Zhou Yuwen's gaze but didn’t mind, instead giving him a subtle look.

Zhou Yuwen clinked glasses with her and said, "No problem."

At that moment, Zheng Yanyan, who was resting her head on Zhou Yuwen's shoulder, nudged him and, in a soft, pleading voice, said she wasn’t feeling well and wanted to leave.

Zhou Yuwen replied, "Let me finish chatting with Minister Tao, and we’ll go, okay?"

Zheng Yanyan nodded and, in front of Tao Tian, leaned up and kissed Zhou Yuwen.

Tao Tian just smiled at the sight.

Zhou Yuwen wrapped up the conversation with Tao Tian, during which a few other Arts Department members, hearing about the modeling opportunity, excitedly came over to toast him. Each of them wanted to make a good impression.

Zhou Yuwen accepted all the toasts graciously, but Zheng Yanyan became more and more irritated watching the girls one by one drinking with him. She kept complaining that she didn’t feel well and wanted to leave.

Finally, Zhou Yuwen said, "All right, let’s go."

He turned to Tao Tian, "Minister Tao, we’re heading out."

"Okay, take care," Tao Tian nodded and even walked them out of the room.

During the entire walk out, Zheng Yanyan didn’t give Tao Tian a single smile. By the time Tao Tian escorted them to the elevator, Zheng Yanyan was still scowling and didn’t say goodbye.

Once the elevator doors closed and the silence returned, Zhou Yuwen gently asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Is it your period?"

Zheng Yanyan didn’t respond. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Zhou Yuwen's neck and kissed him.

Zhou Yuwen didn’t resist.

The elevator walls were mirrored, reflecting Zheng Yanyan's slim figure as she clung to Zhou Yuwen.

After a moment, Zhou Yuwen moved his hands away, finding it a bit uninteresting.

To his surprise, Zheng Yanyan insisted that he keep his hands on her.

"You smell like smoke," Zheng Yanyan mumbled.

Zhou Yuwen said, "I had a cigarette outside with Lu Lin."

"Don’t smoke, okay?" Zheng Yanyan's tone softened, lacking her usual assertiveness.

Zhou Yuwen simply replied, "Okay."

After kissing for a while, Zheng Yanyan rested her head on Zhou Yuwen's chest.

Zhou Yuwen held her and she whispered, "I love you more and more."

"Mm."

Zhou Yuwen continued to hold her.

Since Zhou Yuwen hadn’t driven that day, they walked back to Zheng Yanyan's dorm. It was already past 11 PM after spending about two hours at the KTV.

The streetlights were dim, and there weren’t many people around the dormitory.

Having had a few drinks at the KTV, Zhou Yuwen wasn’t in the mood for anything intimate. He just wanted to drop Zheng Yanyan off and head back.

But Zheng Yanyan seemed upset. She held onto Zhou Yuwen and didn’t want him to leave, asking him to stay with her for a bit longer.

With no other option, Zhou Yuwen asked, "Do you want to come to my place?"

Zheng Yanyan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Can you just sit with me for a while?"

Not pushing the issue, Zhou Yuwen took her hand and led her to a pavilion near the dormitory.

The night was quiet and peaceful. Zheng Yanyan, clearly still affected by her spat with Lu Lin, leaned against Zhou Yuwen's shoulder without saying a word.

Zhou Yuwen asked, "Didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well? Why not just go back and lie down?"

Zheng Yanyan shook her head, saying, "I feel fine as long as I’m with you."

Zhou Yuwen chuckled and asked, "What kind of body do you have?"

While speaking, he slipped his hand under Zheng Yanyan's top, teasing her. Zheng Yanyan didn’t mind, seemingly enjoying the attention, and let out soft sounds of pleasure.

"Does it feel that good?" Zhou Yuwen asked playfully.

Zheng Yanyan giggled and nodded, her body going limp as she leaned into Zhou Yuwen, murmuring, "What should I do? I can’t live without you anymore."

"Maybe we don’t have to wait three months. Let’s move in together now."

"Really?"

"Mm," Zheng Yanyan nodded while lying on Zhou Yuwen's chest.

Zhou Yuwen kissed her cheek and said, "Think it over before you decide."

"I’m afraid I can’t hold onto you," Zheng Yanyan confessed.

She rarely spoke so seriously, and her voice trembled as she said it.

She genuinely feared losing him. What had started as a casual competition to win Zhou Yuwen over Su Qing and Shen Yu had turned into a real attachment the longer they were together.

Zheng Yanyan wasn’t the type to get insecure, but watching all the other girls flock to Zhou Yuwen made her jealous.

"When I saw you singing with Lu Lin earlier, I felt really uncomfortable," Zheng Yanyan admitted.

"I know you don’t like Lu Lin, but it still bothers me seeing you with her."

Zhou Yuwen said, "There’s no need to feel that way."

"And Tao Tian, and all the other girls… I just don’t like seeing you with them."

Zheng Yanyan mumbled softly.

Zhou Yuwen didn’t say anything, and they sat in silence for a while. Zheng Yanyan began playing with Zhou Yuwen's fingers, comparing the size of their hands. His hand was wide and strong, while hers was slim and pale, with long manicured nails.

She interlocked her fingers with his.

Zhou Yuwen held her close and said, "Why do you need to hold on so tightly?"

"Don’t you know? Love is like sand—the tighter you hold, the more you lose."

"But I want to hold on. I want to keep you in the palm of my hand," Zheng Yanyan said, squeezing his hand tighter.

Zhou Yuwen smiled but said nothing.

Just then, Zhou Yuwen's phone buzzed. He saw it was a message from Tao Tian.

Zheng Yanyan grabbed the phone and saw messages not only from Tao Tian but also from other girls in the Arts Department, all checking in on Zhou Yuwen.

Seeing this, Zheng Yanyan grew unhappy.

"Let’s get matching profile pictures," she said.

"Okay," Zhou Yuwen didn’t care.

"When I get back to the dorm, I’ll buy us matching T-shirts."

"Whatever you want," Zhou Yuwen replied.

"Gosh, you’re so good to me, hubby."

"Well, you’re my wife, aren’t you?"

Hearing Zhou Yuwen say this, Zheng Yanyan was thrilled. She continued to ask softly, "Will you love me forever?"

"I will."

"I’ll love you forever too."

They talked until almost midnight before Zheng Yanyan reluctantly parted ways with Zhou Yuwen.

When Zhou Yuwen dropped Zheng Yanyan off at her dorm, Su Qing was on the balcony watering plants, witnessing everything.

Zheng Yanyan, having been sweet-talked by Zhou Yuwen, felt much better.

As she walked back to the dorm, she thought about how it didn’t matter if Su Qing and Shen Yu didn’t like her, or if Lu Lin smoked and wasn’t a great friend. She didn’t need to be friends with them.

As long as she had Zhou Yuwen, that was all that mattered.

They were just jealous that she had such a good boyfriend. If they chose to ignore her, that was their problem. She wasn’t living for them anyway.

She had her husband!

The more Zheng Yanyan thought about it, the more content she felt. She wore tight-fitting dark blue skinny jeans that accentuated her figure, walking back to her dorm with a noticeable sway in her hips.

When she arrived at the dorm, she noticed that Lu Lin wasn’t there and curiously asked where she had gone.

Shen Yu replied, "Lu Lin came back for a bit but said she didn’t have class in the morning, so she went to an internet café to pull an all-nighter."

"What’s a girl doing pulling an all-nighter at an internet café?" Zheng Yanyan laughed, chatting casually with Shen Yu.

Su Qing chimed in, "Who knows? Maybe she just doesn’t want to be in the same dorm as certain people."

Immediately, Zheng Yanyan's temper flared. "What’s that supposed to mean, Su Qing!?"

"I didn’t mean anything by it. I didn’t name names, did I?" Su Qing sneered. She had been in a bad mood ever since watching Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan get cozy on the balcony.

By now, she was 90% sure that Zhou Yuwen was her ex-husband, but he refused to admit it. She couldn’t exactly tell others she had been reborn, so she just said they had dated in the past.

Seeing her "husband" with someone else made Su Qing furious.

"That’s enough! I’ve had it with you!" Zheng Yanyan's eyes reddened with anger. She had already been upset by the situation with Lu Lin, and now Su Qing was acting out of nowhere.

"What did you say to Lu Lin earlier?"

"Did you come between us?"

Su Qing was taken aback, then sneered. "Why would I need to meddle? Do you even have a relationship with her?"

"Then what did you say to Lu Lin this afternoon?"

Seeing Zheng Yanyan's aggressive stance, Su Qing's expression grew serious. "You really want to know?"

"Tell me!"

"Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you—you might not like it!" Su Qing stood up, facing Zheng Yanyan.

Zheng Yanyan furrowed her brow, while Shen Yu quickly made an exit, "I’m heading next door for something. You two can talk."

With Shen Yu gone, Su Qing finally spoke up. Google seaʀᴄh novęlfire.net

"Yes, I dated Zhou Yuwen."

"Do you think I’d be clinging to him like a fool if I didn’t have feelings for him?"

"I admit, I messed up, and we broke up. But Zhou Yuwen still has feelings for me."

"We were together since our second year of high school. You think Zhou Yuwen's apartment is nice?"

"Let me tell you, that apartment was designed by the two of us! Every piece of furniture, every appliance was something we discussed together."

"Bullsh*t!"

Zheng Yanyan wasn’t naive. She had dated before and knew couples didn’t usually talk about home decor at such a young age. Su Qing was clearly trying to make her look foolish.

Su Qing scoffed, "Believe what you want. Just know that while Zhou Yuwen is dating you, he’s still thinking about me. You’re not staying in Jinling, but I will!"

Zheng Yanyan's eyes turned red, glaring at Su Qing. After a moment, she spat, "Even if you dated before, Zhou Yuwen doesn’t want you now! What proof do you have?"

"We’re truly in love. What proof do I need?" Su Qing laughed.

But seeing Zheng Yanyan on the verge of tears, Su Qing felt a bit smug. After a moment of thought, she said, "Oh, you want proof?"

"I’ll tell you something private, though I doubt you’ll even understand."

Su Qing relished her superior position, watching as Zheng Yanyan stood there dumbfounded. Slowly, she enunciated, "Haven’t you noticed how skilled Zhou Yuwen is with his fingers?"

"?" At that moment, Zheng Yanyan froze.

Up until then, everything Su Qing had said felt like baseless insults, but this…

Seeing Zheng Yanyan's reaction, Su Qing smiled. "You get it now?"

She walked up to Zheng Yanyan, eyeing the wrinkled strap of her top.

She knew. It was obvious.

"Feels good, doesn’t it?"

Though Su Qing was also furious, she wanted to infuriate Zheng Yanyan as well. "Of course it feels good. You know why? Because Zhou Yuwen learned all of this with me."

"It was me who told him where to touch to make it feel good. And let me tell you," Su Qing smirked, "he’s made me feel even better. Have you experienced that?"

“Ahhhh!”

At this point, Zheng Yanyan couldn’t take it anymore. What girl could stand hearing another girl talk about her boyfriend like this?

Zheng Yanyan saw the smug look on Su Qing’s face and couldn’t hold back any longer. She charged at her.

"Shut up! Shut up!"

“Ah!” Su Qing was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Zheng Yanyan to lose control and attack her like a wild animal. Zheng Yanyan managed to pin her down.

In no time, Zheng Yanyan was on top of Su Qing, shouting, "Are you still going to talk? Still going to say those things?"

"Ah!" Su Qing screamed in response.

The commotion from the fight was so loud that Shen Yu, who had gone to the neighboring dorm, rushed back when she heard the noise.

"Yanyan!"

Not only Shen Yu, but the other girls from nearby dorms also heard the ruckus and came over. When they entered the room, they found Zheng Yanyan on top of Su Qing, hitting her.
