Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 179 - 179 176 Being Petulant

Chapter 179: Chapter 176 Being Petulant Chapter 179: Chapter 176 Being Petulant Liang Yujun’s high school classmate was at Beijing University of Technology, and the two, who were already a bit ambiguous, almost didn’t need to say anything about their relationship after getting into universities in the same city.

However, after living together for over two months, this bout of acute gastroenteritis made Liang Yujun’s love-drunk mind completely cool down, as she carefully recounted every little detail of their interaction since university started.

In mid-September, after the military training at the University of Technology ended, the boy visited Liang Yujun at Beijing University, treated her to a meal, and even toured Beijing University with her, completely ignoring how she still had military training the next day after already having trained for a whole day. Before leaving, he even joked that she wasn’t very pretty to begin with and now she looked even uglier for being so sunburnt.

(It might have truly been a joke, or perhaps he was just speaking his mind, but either way, it was uncomfortable for Liang Yujun to hear.)

During the National Day holiday in October, the boy called her to buy a sleeper train ticket because he said sitting in a hard seat was too uncomfortable.

The ticket for the trip back to Beijing from her hometown was also purchased by her; oh, it was her father who had someone buy it on her behalf, which was no different from her buying it herself. In the end, it was still her money that was spent.

He hadn’t come to see her last night because it was a weekend, but because he had spent all his living expenses and had come to borrow money from her. He was also the one who suggested eating hot pot, saying he hadn’t had it for a long time and was craving it, then ordered his favorite spicy hot pot without considering whether Liang Yujun could handle spicy food.

Or more accurately, it seemed he never bothered to consider Liang Yujun’s preferences at all.

This love affair… think about it, it’s really damn infuriating!

Ding Yuanyuan looked at her with disappointment, “Among the four of us, you have the highest EQ and the most brains, so why are you so foolish when it comes to this? Break up, you must break up!”

Sha Yali thought of a critically important question, “Did you lend him the money when he came to borrow last night?”

Liang Yujun nodded with a dark expression, “A thousand.”

Ding Yuanyuan poked her forehead hard, “You fool!”

Sha Yali stared at her, “Aside from that thousand, how much else does he owe you?”

“I’ve recharged his phone credit three times, three hundred, and he still hasn’t paid me back.” This doesn’t even include the money for the train tickets.

The friends were speechless; clearly, this sister was being taken advantage of as an ATM bighead!

Liang Yujun felt agitated, “Forget it, as long as I get the thousand back, I won’t quibble over the rest with him.”

But they were obviously too young, too naive, underestimating how thick-skinned someone who could do these things could be.

Liang Yujun called her boyfriend, telling him that the spicy hot pot from last night had given her acute gastroenteritis, leading her to the hospital in the middle of the night, and that she had only returned home this afternoon, spending more than two thousand on examinations and IV drips, money she had to borrow from her roommate.

What she implied was, I’m out of money now too, so return the thousand I lent you last night.

Unfortunately, he didn’t catch the hint, and started by blaming her, “If you can’t eat spicy food, why did you pretend you could? Couldn’t you have ordered something else? Making it seem like it’s my fault you ended up in the hospital, Liang Yujun, you seem mature enough, so why are you so thoughtless? Calling me specially to tell me this, what do you mean by it?”

He didn’t even think to ask how she was feeling.

Liang Yujun’s heart sank, any lingering fantasies and affection she had held for him before calling were now thoroughly shattered.

Her voice was cold, “It means nothing special, just that I’m out of money and I want you to return the thousand I lent you yesterday and the three hundred for the phone credit, plus the train tickets, a total of one thousand six hundred seventy-eight. Prepare it within two days and bring it to me on Sunday.”

The other party was stunned, clearly not expecting her to do this, to actually calculate the exact amount down to the last cent.

“Liang Yujun, what do you mean by this?”

“What? Has your comprehension ability declined now that you’re at university? Zhou Zihao, if you don’t have money, that’s easy, I’ll call your mom and having her give the money works just as well.”

“Liang Yujun, you…”

“Remember, Sunday afternoon at two o’clock, if you don’t come to deliver the money, I’ll call your mom. Since my mom is idle at home anyway, she might as well go and ask for the payment.”

After saying that, Liang Yujun hung up the phone.

Song Jiawen and the other two watched her, and none of them spoke for a while.

The atmosphere in the dorm was a bit melancholic for a moment.

In the end, it was Liang Yujun who broke the silence, self-mockingly saying, “I have to say, this might not even count as a heartbreak, you guys probably won’t believe it.”

She adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose, “Thinking about it carefully, it seems like he never confessed to me from beginning to end. Maybe… the romantic relationship I thought we had was just my wishful thinking.”

“How is that possible,” Ding Yuanyuan immediately objected, “If he hadn’t been ambiguous with you, how could you have misunderstood?”

“Exactly.” Sha Yali agreed, “Texting you every night, coming to the campus to see you, and last time he even took the chance to touch your hair. If that’s not a couple, what is?”

Ding Yuanyuan turned her head to look at her, the two had secretly followed behind Liang Yujun and seen that guy touch her hair from behind a tree. But now you’re putting it so bluntly… Is that okay?

But Liang Yujun apparently didn’t notice this, she scoffed, “He could say that it’s just friendship, normal contact between classmates, as long as it’s not clear, it can all be denied.”

Liang Yujun had now calmed down and could see Zhou Zihao’s true colors clearly. After all, which boyfriend, upon learning his girlfriend was in the hospital, would not worry first but instead try to absolve himself of responsibility?

Song Jiawen listened on the side, contemplative.

The next day, Friday, after morning classes, everyone went to the third cafeteria to eat.

They had just entered and were about to split up, three to get the food and one to find a seat when they turned around and ran into Jiang Yan and his group just as they had gotten their food and were about to sit down at a long table.

Tian Xiaohui warmly called them over.

Song Jiawen glanced at their group, shook her head, and turned to sit down elsewhere.

Ding Yuanyuan and Sha Yali had not kept their quarrel with those two girls from Song Jiawen yesterday, mainly to warn her, in case she and Jiang Yan encountered those two girls again when together, to be cautious, as they were not good news!

So now when she saw them still eating with Jiang Yan, she immediately felt annoyed, ignoring Jiang Yan’s gaze, without turning her head even once.

“Is there room here, why not come over?”

Not knowing the reason, Tian Xiaohui still asked Jiang Yan with a chuckle, “Did you have a fight with Song Jiawen?”

On the side, Dai Lei’s peripheral vision swept over Weng Minhong and Zhang Ting, and sure enough, he found the two of them acting a bit unnatural.

Jiang Yan squinted, staring at Song Jiawen’s back for a moment, seeing that she had no intention of turning around, he stood up with his tray and said to the group, “I’m going over there.”

Jiang Yan walked over to Song Jiawen and sat down beside her, Liang Yujun and the others hadn’t come back from getting their food yet.

He turned his head to look at her, but she didn’t look back at him, her face stern, tilting her head to look elsewhere.

Jiang Yan almost laughed out loud, this was the first time this girl was giving him the cold shoulder in this manner, especially when he was completely clueless.
