Chapter 97 (I Never Promised to Sleep with You) Wanxin’s Affection Meets Cold Rejection

During the feast that Zhao Yuan threw, the bustle and joy of the new semester became water under the bridge.

Lin Wenxi couldn’t believe his ears when he heard Zhao Yuan declare that he was dating Chen Wanxin. His former girlfriend had now become his current girlfriend. Chen Wanxin repeatedly toasted her friends as a way of accepting their congratulations. In an instant, she became the center of attention of the feast. She was as lovely as the spring flowers blossoming in the ravine.

“Aren’t you going to toast me, Wenxi?” Chen Wanxin smiled. “I remember clearly what you once told me.”

“Why… aren’t you celebrating with Zheng Kai?” Lin Wenxi asked.

“Well, initially we weren’t able to arrange this feast but Zheng Kai took charge and got things settled. I’ve already expressed my thanks to him. Moreover, the skilled pianist I invited will arrive in a moment. The pianist will add to our enjoyment.” Smiling, Chen Wanxin raised her wine cup to the corner of Lin Wenxi’s mouth. “In the few months that you were away, I’m the one showing him concern and taking care of him. In the past, that was my role. In the future, it will continue to be my role.”

Subconsciously, Lin Wenxi felt his entire body go cold. They were once again together, but how could people believe in a love without reason and feelings without a trace? How could anyone notice the uneasiness hidden under the shadows of Zhao Yuan’s delighted eyes?

That was right. Didn’t Zhao Yuan call him his younger brother? How could he know the private affairs between him and her? Perhaps, Zhao Yuan felt a deep and profound friendship for him, and not… Then, how should he explain the gentleness exchanged between the tip of their tongues and the heavy, boorish affection that evening when they slept in the rain-enveloped village? That was right. Zhao Yuan only knew that he was bothered by all these and that he himself was unwilling. Did Zhao Yuan think that he was against it? Would their feelings rise and die in the same place? He once believed that he would be unable to see Zhao Yuan again in his life but unexpectedly, heavens took sympathy on him and allowed them to stay close to each other. Perhaps, he should already be content with this situation.

Once he understood this point, he came to understand everything.

Lin Wenxi raised his glass and downed it in one shot to wish her a long and happy life with Zhao Yuan!

The sound of the piano was intense, upright, and bold. A shiver ran down Lin Wenxi’s spine. Who was that? Yun Che? Zhu Ziping? Were they playing as an ensemble? What had happened in the time that he was away? Everything became inconceivable and impervious to reason!

Lin Wenxi raised his glass again, this time toward the two of them.

The sound of the piano abruptly ended.

“It’s been awhile, Younger Brother Wenxi.” Zhu Ziping beamed.

“Why are you two…?” Lin Wenxi opened his mouth but shock held his tongue.

“Since this is Zhao Yuan and his girlfriend’s first public banquet, Wanxin invited us here to join the fun. Ziping prefers the quiet but when he heard that you’ll be here, we decided to come and visit the kid! Where have you been lately?” A pleased-looking Yun Che looked calmly at Lin Wenxi.

“I went home to settle some family problems. How… did you meet Wanxin?” Lin Wenxi asked, somewhat astounded.

“She comes to the music store often. Not only does she introduces students to us, but she also recommends customers to buy pianos from us. All of the customers have refined tastes, too. We were still confused when she said she’s a good friend of yours and Zhao Yuan’s girlfriend. We couldn’t be any happier to meet her!” Yun Che said, smiling.

Lin Wenxi made a sound of acknowledgment pensively. He then asked, “Is everything good on your end?”

“We’re fine. We’re getting married soon. When the time comes, please attend our wedding!” Yun Che said with a laugh.

“Of course.” Lin Wenxi raised his glass and once again drained it.

When Zhao Yuan had successfully applied to live outside of the campus, tidied his bed, and was about to leave, Lin Wenxi sat there quietly and sadly.

What did he say earlier?

“Believe me. I’m still me.”
