Chapter 1687: There Was a Premise
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Xing, who had no choice, sighed. She seemed to be willing to compromise. “Sigh. Since you want to know about this matter, I’ll tell you. After all, you have tried to help me. I should let you understand. Zhai Xin and I are cousins, not a couple. How would it be possible for a brother to date a sister? I announced this publicly because I’d discussed it with Zhai Xin. You also know that Zhai Xin is a gentle person and doesn’t really know how to refuse girls. Although Zhai Xin and I are cousins, only insiders in school know about our relations.h.i.+p. Zhai Yi’s face is cold enough for other female students to choose to retreat.”
He was cold. One had to know that her initial target was also Zhai Yi. However, when Zhai Yi’s face turned cold and indifferent, she started to retreat.
Initially, Zhou Xing still felt that it was a pity Zhai Yi was not as easily fooled as Zhai Xin to become her boyfriend. However, Zhou Xing no longer felt this way. Thankfully, Zhai Yi was cold enough and she dispelled those thoughts early to be together with Zhai Xin.
She believed that compared to the beautiful memories she had with Zhai Xin, one wouldn’t know who would be the one taking revenge in her so-called revenge plan if the person she dated was Zhai Yi instead.
Had that been the case, she would have cursed Zhai Yi endlessly. If a man as cold as him who didn’t know how to be considerate toward girls really met a girl he liked in the future, that girl would definitely not like him. Serves Zhai Yi right to be a virgin his whole life!
“After that, Zhai Xin thought of an idea, which was for me to pretend to be his girlfriend. We are all youths with upright worldviews and values. As long as Zhai Xin had a girlfriend, the female students who were interested in Zhai Xin would naturally not be a third-party who destroyed relations.h.i.+ps. It was proven that this method was useful. It’s just that I’m Zhai Xin’s sister, after all. This fake relations.h.i.+p had to end sometime. I didn’t expect my cla.s.smates to be so righteous. This had created unnecessary misunderstandings and caused everyone to work in vain. I sincerely apologize to all of you here.”
Once Zhou Xing said so, she naturally became that kind and understanding sister who helped resolve problems for her brother. Zhai Xin managed to escape as he was carrying out a mission today. However, Zhou Xing was still around. Although both of them had done this, Zhou Xing was the only one who was apologizing.
When he saw Zhou Xing stepping on Zhai Xin and trying to restore her image, Zhai Yi laughed coldly. It was rare for him not to expose and embarra.s.s Zhou Xing further.
One doesn’t push another to the wall.
Compared to what Zhou Xing wanted to achieve in the beginning, this was already the best ending. After the turmoil today, people from both schools would quickly find out about the cousin relations.h.i.+p between Zhai Xin and Zhou Xing. If Zhou Xing pestered Zhai Xin again and wanted to date him, he didn’t even need to take any action. She would have drowned in the saliva of the people from the two schools.
“Since there’s nothing else, hurry back to school. Even if you are studying in an art school now and learning dancing, I feel that you should put in more effort into dancing and train harder. Your teacher might have arranged fewer tasks for you, but you can definitely train harder yourself. Zhou Xing, you have to remember that you’re different from other children. You’re in a more unique situation. As a youth in the new generation, as long as you’re capable, you don’t have to rely on your parents. It’s precisely because of this that you should work harder. Zhai Xin is carrying out a mission and my schoolwork is relatively heavier. I hope that you can cherish the few years of life in school.”
In other words, if there was nothing—no, even if there was something, don’t come to PLA National Defense University to find him and Zhai Xin. Their relations.h.i.+p was different from others. Not only was it bad, but it had even reached the stage where they were at loggerheads with each other.
The act was for others. If they weren’t around, Zhou Xing didn’t have to appear and be annoying.
“Big brother is right.” Zhou Xing forced a smile. Her cover was exposed. Zhai Yi didn’t want to be her big brother and take care of her in the future at all. However, in front of everyone, he put on airs as a big brother and even started lecturing her.
Zhou Xing really wanted to say that unless Zhai Yi really decided to control her in the future and let her realize her dream, he should keep his grand principles to his birth sister, Zhai Yu. Her surname was Zhou and she was a child from the Zhou family. She had nothing to do with the Zhai family. She didn’t care for Zhai Yi’s ‘invaluable advice’ at all. “I’ll head back first.”
Once Zhou Xing left, the others dispersed as well.
Actually, if one thought about it carefully, three were inconsistencies in Zhou Xing’s words. How could the show end just like that? Based on the relations.h.i.+p among the three, why would Zhou Xing do that? Wouldn’t Zhai Xin’s image be completely ruined if he used such an excuse to break up? Zhai Xin wasn’t that stupid to be so ruthless to himself, right?
Secondly, Zhou Xing’s previous words were simply too misleading. Even if it was time for the two of them to ‘break up’, couldn’t a smart person like Zhai Xin come up with better ideas? They didn’t believe it.
Most importantly, they didn’t feel that the kind of sadness and abandonment Zhou Xing portrayed was real. Zhou Xing was just putting on an act.
It was just that since the parties involved, Zhou Xing and Zhai Yi, weren’t pursuing this matter and were prepared not to mention it in the future, how would these people, who were here to watch the excitement, still have so many ‘whys’ in their hearts? They could only shut their mouths obediently. After all, it was someone else’s business.
The farce ended just as it started.
Thankfully, Zhou Xing managed to turn the tides in the end and preserve her jeopardized image in front of the students. As of Zhai Xin, he managed to get rid of the label ‘sc.u.mbag’ with the successful help of Zhai Yi.
Now, the relations.h.i.+p between the two was exposed. It was just that from today onward, Zhou Xing would have much lesser excuses to find Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin. At this time, Zhai Yi could express graciously that since Zhai Xin wasn’t around, Zhou Xing did not have to come and look for Zhai Xin or him again.
They were just cousins and couldn’t possibly neglect their studies just to take care of Zhou Xing. n.o.body was more important than their futures.
Even if Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin wanted to be good brothers, Zhou Xing had to be a good sister first.
