Chapter 104 -101: Misunderstandings Deepen
“Jingjing, do you see that? Isn’t that your classmate who got into Beijing University?”
Jiang Yan was first spotted by Fan Jingjing’s father. He had just gotten out of the car, and as he turned around, he happened to see Jiang Yan walking toward the service area with the girl he had seen before.
Actually, apart from being tall, Jiang Yan’s appearance wasn’t particularly outstanding, and he was far from being unforgettable at first glance. But the girl with him was strikingly attractive, making her hard to overlook.
Plus, Fan Jingjing had placed particular emphasis on Jiang Yan getting into Beijing University, so her father naturally took note.
Fan Jingjing’s mother was clueless and turned her head to look in the direction her husband was pointing, still saying, “Who? Are you talking about Zhang Ze? I know both of those classmates who got into Beijing University.”
But there were only three young people walking not far ahead toward the service area: a bald guy, a tall guy, and a girl. It was a somewhat odd combination.
The mother didn’t recognize the bald guy or the tall guy, and she only glanced at the girl without much interest.
Turning her head, she teased her husband, “You’re mistaken; that’s not her classmate.”
“Not?”
Fan Jingjing’s father looked surprised and turned to look at Fan Jingjing. He wanted to ask her, but he saw that she was staring blankly in that direction, her spirits clearly much lower than when they had set off.
Fan Jingjing’s father fell silent.
That boy…
He frowned and turned to look over, just in time to see the girl walking ahead of the boy about to bump into a bollard. The boy effortlessly grabbed the back of her collar and hoisted her to the other side.
The gesture was not gentle, even a bit rough, but it felt very natural.
It suggested the two were close.
Especially since the girl, after being pulled aside like that, just kept walking forward without looking back.
Fan Jingjing’s father sighed internally and called to his wife, “Let’s quickly go to the restroom. We’ll rest a bit before we have to hit the road again.”
Meanwhile, Jiang Yan had just come out after freeing up some memory when someone patted his shoulder, “I suggested we go together, but you didn’t agree. Look, we’ve bumped into each other.”
He turned to look at Yin Shen, and said with a smile, “I saw you on the road.”
Yin Shen punched him lightly, “Then why didn’t you call me?”
“Are you stupid? How do you call someone on the highway?”
“…Fine, you’re forgiven.”
The two were chatting when Huang Mao came out after finishing his business. At first, Yin Shen didn’t pay attention, until the bald guy walked next to Jiang Yan and stopped, then flashed him a broad, white-toothed grin.
“Fuck!”
Yin Shen recognized him as Huang Mao and stared at his bald head in shock, “Ergou, what happened to you?”
Ergou’s smile immediately disappeared, he snorted coldly at Yin Shen, and turned to walk away.
“Is this… Fan Jingjing?”
Before Yin Shen could finish his sentence, he saw Fan Jingjing walking past Jiang Yan with her head held high. Subconsciously, Yin Shen reached out and pulled on Jiang Yan, “Dude, Fan Jingjing…”
“I’m not blind.”
Jiang Yan shook off his hand. As Fan Jingjing walked past them and stopped not too far away to turn and look back, he patted Yin Shen on the shoulder, “Bro, since we’ve graduated, there’s no need to hold back. If you have something to say, go ahead, such chances are rare.”
After speaking, he gently pushed Yin Shen in Fan Jingjing’s direction and then turned to leave.
As he reached the entrance, he ran into Song Jiawen, grabbed her wrist, and walked briskly toward where the car was parked.
Song Jiawen had to jog to keep up with him, looking slightly disheveled. When they reached the car, she couldn’t help but stomp on his foot hard.
Caught off guard, Jiang Yan yelped, jumping up on one foot, “You stinky girl…”
Song Jiawen rolled her eyes at him, snorted coldly, pulled open the car door, got in, and then slammed it shut.
The guy sitting in the passenger seat looked puzzledly at the two of them and asked, “What’s the problem with you two?” Why did you start fighting out of nowhere?
After the pain faded, Jiang Yan pulled open the driver’s door, got into the car, buckled his seatbelt, and calmly started the car, replying, “It’s nothing, she’s just too slow. I urged her a bit, and she stepped on me.”
“Aren’t all girls slow? Can’t you just be patient? … But Jia Wen is different from the average girl, she’s pretty efficient, she wouldn’t be slow.”
Song Jiawen in the back seat withdrew her icy gaze and huffed.
Jiang Yan slowly drove the car away from the service area and let out a gentle sigh.
Meanwhile, Yin Shen, who had been pushed away by Jiang Yan, first scratched his head in confusion, then offered Fan Jingjing an embarrassed smile, “That, Fan Jingjing, I…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Fan Jingjing turned and walked away.
Yin Shen opened his mouth, thinking how the hell did everyone become so weird today?
First there was Jiang Yan, spouting all that nonsense, and now this attitude from Fan Jingjing—what’s going on?
Ordinary classmates greet each other; why is she throwing a tantrum?
But then he remembered how arrogant Fan Jingjing usually was at school, like a peacock, and he understood her behavior just now; it’s just that…
Comparing Song Jiawen’s face to Fan Jingjing’s, tsk, there’s really no harm without comparison. No wonder Jiang Yan no longer even spares Fan Jingjing a glance these days.
However, his previous attentions to her were only meant to sabotage Liao Ergou’s chances, even the love letter he gave Fan Jingjing was stolen from Liao Chenyu’s desk.

Luckily, Fan Jingjing didn’t read it and tore it up on the spot, which delighted Jiang Yan back then, making him feel like he had met a soulmate when seeing her thereafter, almost wanting to swear a brotherly bond with her.
This came to an end when he was expelled from school after fighting with Liao Gou.
But the misunderstanding with Fan Jingjing was also rooted then, and it seems it still hasn’t been cleared up to this day. At least now, many students from Experimental Middle School think Jiang Yan likes Fan Jingjing.
This guy—just now he couldn’t have been trying to get me to explain for him, could he?
Dream on, he should clean up his own mess.
Thinking this, Yin Shen couldn’t help but smirk proudly, feeling like he had something over Jiang Yan, which he could use to manipulate him in the future. If Jiang Yan ever annoyed him, he could just complain to Song Jiawen.
“Little Shen, let’s go.”
Yin Shen’s father, who had finished smoking two cigarettes, came over and patted the back of his head, “What are you grinning about by yourself? You look as happy as if you’re getting married.”
“What getting married? Dad, don’t talk nonsense.”
“You know I’m talking nonsense, but why is your grin so wide? Really think you can get a wife?”
“Dad…”
Not far behind, following after just coming out of the restroom, were Fan Jingjing and her mother. Hearing the father and son’s conversation, Fan Jingjing’s face darkened, and in her heart, she cursed Yin Shen a hundred times over.
To think a toad lusting after swan meat! Doesn’t he even know his own standing?
Now, she almost believed what Jiang Yan had said before—that letter might really have been from Yin Shen to her.
Thinking back on how, after delivering the letter, each time she saw Jiang Yan he would greet her with a beaming smile, while Yin Shen followed behind, too shy to even utter a word.
Logically, after she publicly tore up the letter, Jiang Yan should have felt awkward or embarrassed seeing her again, but he didn’t. On the contrary, it was Yin Shen…
At this moment, Fan Jingjing’s mood worsened even further.
