Chapter 8 - I Still Have You, Dont I? (1/2)

Lin Yan had no choice but to leave the house due to her aunt’s scolding.

Lin Shuya and Han Yixuan’s betrayal, coupled with the truth behind her ban from competitions, had been a severe blow. She hadn’t managed to recover after all these setbacks, and she had neglected her job as a result.

Her mother was staying in an old house in the outskirts of the city. To prevent her from worrying, she decided against heading to her place.

In the end, Lin Yan could only call the only friend she had in the country— Wang Jingyang.

“Hello, Lin Yan? What a rare caller! How come you had the time to look for me?”

“Pup… Can I stay at your place for a few days next month?”

Wang Jingyang’s voice quivered a little over the phone. “What happened? Aren’t you staying at your aunt’s place?”

“I can’t afford to pay the rent this month.” Lin Yan smiled bitterly.

“What? Didn’t they use your money to buy that house?”

“Yeah…” Lin Yan sounded helpless.

Wang Jingyang was hopping mad. “F*ck! That old woman doesn’t have a conscience. How blind could you be to be surrounded by a group of ingrates and traitors?”

Lin Yan chuckled. “That’s not entirely true. I still have you, don’t I?”

Wang Jingyang fell silent for a moment before he snorted. He sounded visibly happier as he said, “It’s good that you know! I’m near my university. Come over and look for me. I’ll give you a treat!”

Lin Yan replied, “Okay!”

She stared at the phone as the call was ended, feeling a little comforted.

It was a summer night and the food stalls outside the university were doing brisk business.

Lin Yan spotted Wang Jingyang, who was drinking beer, from a distance. He was wearing black ear studs and had a head of dark purple hair.

He knew that he was handsome, so he did whatever he pleased.

If someone else had dyed their hair this color, it would have been horrifying. However, he really managed to pull it off.
