Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 370 - 368: Xue Yang, I Miss You~

A girl like that should have a good man to cherish her.

Although this Ming Cheng can’t compare to him, he’s a good man, I suppose.

"I told you, I don’t like him. Since I don’t, there’s no point in leading him on. Let’s go."

Chen Ying walked toward TianMei Studio.

Cui Hao quickly followed.

Women’s hearts are so hard to figure out. You don’t like someone when they like you, but once they stop liking you, you feel as if you’ve missed out on a fortune. What does it take to truly win a woman’s heart?

His mind conjured Xue Yang’s face, a sight that could anger both gods and men.

Dogs excluded.

At the café on the 33rd floor of Tide Fashion, Lin Xi glanced out the window. Below, the endless streams of traffic made the city look like it never slept. She looked down at the time—7:23. She immediately lifted her head to look at the girl across from her, who was leisurely enjoying her meal.

"Si Wen, it’s getting late. I have to go deliver dinner to Xue Yang."

Si Wen glanced at the food in front of Lin Xi, who hadn’t eaten much herself.

"You really can’t bear to let your boyfriend go hungry for a single moment. Alright, alright, finish your food first, and then I’ll have my driver take you over. I, on the other hand, have to trudge back to work overtime."

"Okay, thank you, Si Wen."

"What are best friends for?"

Ten minutes later, Lin Xi had devoured her meal. Carrying the already packed thermal container, she walked briskly toward the elevator.

Xue Yang will definitely be happy to see me.

Downstairs, Si Wen’s driver was already waiting.

Lin Xi considered that in the future, when Xue Yang wasn’t home, she could ask Uncle He to pick her up and drop her off.

It was just past 7 p.m., right in the middle of rush hour traffic. By the time Lin Xi and Si Wen arrived at the studio building, it was already nearly 9 p.m.

"I’ll call him," she said, taking out her phone and dialing Xue Yang’s number.

Xue Yang had just pushed back from his keyboard. He stretched his shoulders, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look out at the city’s nightscape.

Xiao Xi went to see Si Wen. I wonder if she’s home yet. With Si Wen around, I don’t have to worry about her waiting for me. That girl won’t let herself go hungry. I should give her a call to check.

Xue Yang had just taken out his phone when Lin Xi’s call came through.

Xue Yang’s eyebrows rose slightly. They were truly in sync, both wanting to call each other at the exact same time.

He answered the call and was immediately greeted by Lin Xi’s voice. "Xue Yang~"

The sound sent a shiver through him, as if it soothed his weary body and soul. "Mm, are you home yet?"

"I’m not home yet."

Xue Yang glanced at the time—9:01. He said, "Are you still at Si Wen’s? I’ll come pick you up later."

"Nope. Guess where I am now?"

"I don’t know."

"Come on, guess."

Xue Yang casually ventured a guess. "You’re not downstairs right now, are you?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

It was a long way from Tide Fashion, especially during the after-work rush hour. Xue Yang figured it would have been much more convenient for Lin Xi to go straight home.

"Hee hee, you guessed right," she chirped. "As your reward, I’ll treat you to a feast."

Xue Yang’s heart suddenly pounded in his chest. "Stay right where you are. I’m coming to get you."

After hanging up, Xue Yang immediately dashed downstairs.

At 9 p.m., the building was mostly empty. The elevator arrived without delay, swiftly taking him to the ground floor.

He spotted her almost instantly: the girl in a purple dress, its hem fluttering in the evening breeze.

For the first time, Xue Yang realized how well purple suited his girl.

Standing under the bright white moonlight, she exuded a shimmering purple glow, looking just like an Elf.

The most beautiful Elf in the world.

"Xue Yang~" Seeing his figure, Lin Xi called out and immediately ran toward him. Heedless of the onlookers, she leaped into his arms.

Her action startled the surrounding spectators.

"Isn’t that girl a bit too bold?"

"That guy is way too lucky!"

No man could refuse the embrace of such a stunning beauty throwing herself at him. The onlookers were incredibly envious. But... that guy looked kind of familiar.

"I think he’s the boss of TianMei Studio."

"Oh, it’s him. Young and successful, with a gorgeous girlfriend, and they’re so affectionate. He’s a true winner in life."

The whispers around them didn’t affect the couple. Lin Xi clung to Xue Yang, rubbing her cheek against his neck. "Xue Yang, I miss you."

"I miss you too."

「」

Cui Hao and Chen Ying walked toward the studio, one behind the other. As they reached the other side of the street, Cui Hao’s expression suddenly changed. He turned to Chen Ying and said, "Senior, I just remembered—the contract isn’t ready yet. It’s past nine now, and it might not be done until after eleven. How about you come sign it tomorrow instead? Is that okay?"

Chen Ying, preoccupied with her own thoughts, didn’t think much of it. "It’s fine, I can wait a little while."

Hearing this, Cui Hao grew anxious. He scratched his head and said, "No, Senior, I mean it might not get done at all tonight. So, I really suggest you come back tomorrow to sign. It’s not like one more day will make a difference, right?"

"Oh, alright."

Just as Chen Ying turned, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in her peripheral vision.

Wait, that person...

She stopped in her tracks and stared, her eyes narrowing. The man over there, embracing another woman—who could it be but Xue Yang?

"Senior, don’t look," Cui Hao said, stepping in to block her view and shield her from the hurtful scene.

Chen Ying suddenly understood.

They had agreed the contract could be signed tonight, but he had suddenly changed his mind right at the doorstep. Was it because he saw them?

That girl must be his girlfriend.

Although she couldn’t see her face, just her silhouette was enough to imagine how beautiful she must be.

Suddenly, Xue Xing’s words echoed in her mind: "My sister-in-law is the most beautiful woman in the world."

Yes, the most beautiful woman in the world. I already knew that, didn’t I? But seeing it with my own eyes... it still hurts so, so much. I was the one who lost him, wasn’t I? The one who let go first has no right to regret it!

"Cui Hao, I’m heading back. Let me know tomorrow after you’ve prepared the contract."

"Senior, let me walk you back to school," Cui Hao said, concerned.

"No need. The school isn’t far from here. I’ve walked this road for far longer than you have. I’ll be fine."

"But, Senior..."

"Just let me be alone for a bit."

Cui Hao opened his mouth to speak, but finally just said, "Alright."

Chen Ying turned and left without a trace of hesitation.

The moment she turned, tears were already streaming down her face.

Growing up, she had rarely cried, but today she had cried twice, both times over the same person.

Cui Hao sighed. "It’s true what they say: misfortunes never come singly."

It was supposed to be Xue Yang’s Shura Field, yet I’m the one suffering. It isn’t fair at all.
