Chapter 103: Chapter 103: This guy’s emotional intelligence is a bit low..._1

Shen Jing gave Gao Qifeng a surprised look.

Gao Qifeng also realized he had lost his cool and quickly apologized: "I am sorry; I didn’t mean to raise my voice. Did I startle you?"

Shen Jing smiled and shook her head: "No."

After a brief hesitation, she calmly added: "I didn’t vote yet."

A touch of sorrow flashed in Gao Qifeng’s eyes. He forced a bitter smile: "Actually, you could have just lied to me and said you had voted for me. Shen Jing, sometimes, honesty hurts."

Looking at Gao Qifeng, a complex thought crossed Shen Jing’s mind as she lowered her head and whispered, "Sorry."

This apology made Gao Qifeng feel even more upset.

"Shen Jing, have you ever said ’sorry’ to Yang Gang?" Gao Qifeng asked.

Shen Jing’s heart fluttered slightly. She looked up at Gao Qifeng, "Qifeng, you..."

Gao Qifeng controlled his emotions and said lightly, "You like Yang Gang, don’t you?"

Shen Jing didn’t utter a word, her head slightly lowered.

"Why? The Yang Gang now is arrogant, domineering, even openly stealing others’ girlfriends. Isn’t that much worse than what I did in the past? You always despised such spoiled young masters, didn’t you? Why? Why would you fall for Yang Gang!" Gao Qifeng became somewhat agitated as he spoke.

Shen Jing continued to remain silent. After a moment, two clear tears silently slid down the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Gao Qifeng immediately apologized, "I’m sorry, Shen Jing, I shouldn’t blame you. I... I just wished..."

Shen Jing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she looked up and gave a faint smile, "Qifeng, I know you’ve been very good to me. You could say that apart from my family, you are the kindest person to me. I also understand your feelings towards me. It’s crystal clear from all aspects that I should accept your feelings. I may never meet another man who treats me as well as you do in this lifetime. But, Qifeng, I can sometimes be as stubborn as a little hedgehog hiding in its castle, even when I know there are better choices, and all I have to do is stretch my neck out to see the sun, I still obstinately hide in the dark castle where I cannot see the future. I know I’ve been foolish."

After a slightly pause, she continued: "About Yang Gang, although we have been classmates for more than two years, our interactions have been minimal, and I could not say I know him well. But the thing about feelings is quite strange. You’d unknowingly fall in love with someone. I also know that Yang Gang does not love me; he simply sees me as a close female friend. However, even so, I still like him. Therefore, Qifeng, I am not able to accept your feelings now. I know that my selfishness has caused you a lot of pain. I am willing to compensate you, anything but my feelings. You can take anything else, including..."

Shen Jing paused for a moment, and then calmly added, "Including my body."

Gao Qifeng clenched his fist with an angry expression on his face, "What’s the point of possessing a soulless body? Yang Gang, you bastard, I’m going to kill you!"

After venting at the sky, Gao Qifeng gradually calmed down. Looking at Shen Jing, he said indifferently: "Shen Jing, I will not give up. There is a saying ’where there’s sincere, there will be an open road. Someday, I will warm your heart."

With that, Gao Qifeng left.

Shen Jing sat on a nearby bench, covered her face with her hands, and after a while, tears trickled down her fingertips again.

"Why am I so stupid? Clearly, there are better choices, and clearly, there are people who are more suitable for me. Why, why..." she lamanted.

At this moment, someone suddenly took a seat on the bench, and then a familiar voice asked, "What’s the matter?"

It was Yang Gang’s voice.

Wiping away her tears, and composing her emotions, Shen Jing looked up at Yang Gang.

After gazing at him for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, "I guess I’ve fallen for someone."

Yang Gang seemed to be oblivious to Shen Jing’s feelings. He asked, "...and then?"

It seemed Gu Xiaorou was right; this man was really bad at reading emotions.

The Young Master Yang felt unjustly accused: I’ve never been in love, how could I understand such delicate female sentiments?

"He doesn’t like me in return," Shen Jing said, smiling.

"So that’s why you are heartbroken and crying," Yang Gang paused before adding. "I don’t really understand matters of the heart, but I do believe that a man who makes a woman cry is not a good man."

Shen Jing shook her head: "It’s my own wishful thinking. He doesn’t even know how I feel about him."

Yang Gang looked at Shen Jing, chuckled and asked, "Can you tell me who he is? Anyone that dares to bully you is challenging me. I will beat him until he apologizes to you and proposes to you."

Shen Jing laughed, "He goes to the same school as us."

Yang Gang seemed to have remembered something, and said, "Ah, yes, Gao Qifeng is after you, right?"

"Hmm," Shen Jing nodded.

Yang Gang mumbled to himself: "The only man more exceptional than Gao Qifeng is Huang Tianlin. Eh, Shen Jing, you like Huang Tianlin too?"

Shen Jing was startled, then laughed and shook her head.

"Not Huang Tianlin? Then high school boys can hardly be more outstanding than Gao Qifeng. Ah, could it be a male teacher? A teacher-student relationship!" Yang Gang exclaimed.

Shen Jing laughed and said, "That’s enough; stop guessing. I bet you probably still won’t be able to guess it by the time you graduate from college."

She realized that his emotional quotient seemed rather low.

She hesitated for a moment, quietly looked at Yang Gang, then asked softly, "Yang Gang, are you feeling better?"

Last time, on this very bench, she had met a downcast Yang Gang.

Yang Gang grinned and said, "It’s alright. Just a little upset that I got zero votes in the school hunk selection."

Yang Gang, I haven’t voted yet," said Shen Jing, suddenly flustered.

Having said that, her face instantly blushed.

"Ah? Shen Jing, will you vote for me?" Yang Gang was overjoyed.

Even if the count broke the zero, even just one vote would do. Young Master Yang, who had been battered and bruised by the brutal reality, had just that much of a wish left.

Shen Jing nodded.

"Yay! Oh, it’s almost class time; let’s go to the classroom." Yang Gang said.

When Yang Gang and Shen Jing returned to the classroom together, all eyes in class 2 of the Department of Industry and Commerce swiftly gathered on them.

"Hey, Shen Jing can’t possibly be with Yang Gang, right?" someone whispered.

"Damn! That’s absurd! In all aspects, Gao Qifeng is way superior to Yang Gang."

"I also think it’s highly unlikely. Shen Jing has always disliked rich and spoiled sons, but Yang Gang’s behavior after his car accident is even worse than the rich playboy Ling Yunfei. Even when Ling Yunfei was so arrogant, he didn’t openly snatch another person’s girlfriend in front of everyone."

...

Yang Gang returned to his seat and looked up to see Gu Xiaorou’s seat was empty.

"Could that woman be skipping class to go on a blind date?"

His eyes flickered, and nobody knew what he was thinking.

It was already past 5 p.m. when the afternoon classes finally ended.

Yang Gang left the classroom, called Lin Qingyu, and said, "Qingyu, I’ve obtained some information. Your boyfriend has booked a room at the Wankelai Hotel tonight. Shall we catch him red-handed?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Lin Qingyu gently responded, "Okay."
