She had ignored his opinion and prepared this interview at the end of the celebration by her own accord. She could understand why he’d be unhappy about this matter, but she never thought that he would treat her so heartlessly.
She really liked him. She’d liked him ever since the start of her first year. For the past three years, no matter which man tried to court her, she would always distance herself from them.
He was the only person she would put in effort and courage for.
But as the facts had shown, her efforts and courage had been put to the wrong use.
She had failed completely.
From now on, when other people talked about her, would they mention her as the admired and envied campus belle, or as a mere laughingstock of the school?
She couldn’t let it end this way. She couldn’t lose just like that…
With such thoughts in mind, she stared at Lin Jiage as if he was a heartless man, with tears streaming down her cheeks. With a miserable tone, she asked, “H-how can you say such a thing?”
“I-if you really didn’t want to have anything to do with me, why did you accept the thousand paper cranes I folded for you? Why did you have dinner with me at the school canteen on Valentine’s Day? Why did you agree to this interview in the first place?”
As Qin Yiran spoke, more and more tears welled up in her eyes, and her crying intensified.
By the end of her words, her face was already completely stained with tears, a sight which evoked pity from the crowd.
“You might not like me, but I’m not someone you can bully just like that!”
Seeing that her plan had failed, Qin Yiran put on a pitiful look in front of the entire campus while pinning Lin Jiage with the image of a heartless man who trampled on the feelings of others!
There was indeed an adage saying that a gentleman should never get into a confrontation with a lady, but it was a pity that Lin Jiage never planned on playing the gentleman in front of a woman who had nothing to do with him…
Since she decided to bring that all up here, he didn’t mind settling the debts she owed him once and for all!
Facing the sorrowfully sobbing Qin Yiran, Lin Jiage didn’t look at all moved by the display. On the contrary, the cold aura surrounding him only seemed to deepen, and even the tone he took left people feeling on edge.
“First, I didn’t accept your gift. You had someone deliver it to my dorm room, and then I had someone deliver it back to where it came from.”
“Second, the dinner at the school canteen was for us to discuss the school’s anniversary celebration. That should be the only time we’ve met. If I’m not wrong, I believe that you gave me the gift the night before that…”
At this point, Lin Jiage shot a glance at Qin Yiran and spoke meaningfully, “…You sure did time it well…”
After mocking her, Lin Jiage continued, “Third, regarding the interview, until the moment the emcee called my name and made the announcement, I wasn’t aware of this program at all.”
After saying all that had to be said, Lin Jiage turned around decisively and left, not bothering to remain on the stage any longer.
It was as if he’d thrown a bomb—his composed and steady words caused an uproar among the students in the area.
“What Lin Jiage said, doesn’t it mean that he’s just a victim of Qin Yiran’s schemes…”
“All this time, we thought that it was a touching romance between a charming gentleman and a beautiful lady, but in the end, it turned out to be just the lady’s one-sided show!”
“But honestly, I couldn’t even tell that Qin Yiran was such a devious person. She was obviously the one who started this mess, so how could she have the face to cry so pitifully now?”
