After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

The roommate was still telling Ji Yuqiao the information she had found out, such as seeing Wen Li go to the library to read with another boy, and hearing from a classmate who worked in Xiao Yu's studio that they had broken up...

"All kinds of rumors are going around the school like crazy, and I think nine out of ten of them are true."

"You've been waiting for them to break up for so long, right? Now's your chance!"

"I've already found out for you. The teacher in Xiao Yu's major invited him to come back to school to give a small lecture to the younger students about entrepreneurship. You can sneak in then..." The roommate talked a lot to Ji Yuqiao.

"No need. I'm no longer interested in him." Ji Yuqiao's voice was indifferent.

The words in my roommate's throat suddenly stopped, "Wha...what?"

"I said I don't like him anymore and you don't need to tell me about him anymore," said Ji Yuqiao.

The roommate was stunned: "Ah? You don't like it anymore? Why..."

Ji Yuqiao interrupted her, "The teacher is here, listen carefully."

The roommate looked at the serious teacher at the podium and had to shut his mouth and give up the idea of ​​continuing gossiping.

First, there were two consecutive English classes, and then two advanced mathematics classes. Many students in the classroom were already distracted, some were sleeping, some were playing with their phones...

Her roommate also yawned. Just when she was about to lie down to sleep, she caught a glimpse of Ji Yuqiao who was listening to the class attentively, and was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly I felt like Ji Yuqiao had changed.

In the past, in class, Ji Yuqiao either asked them about Xiao Yu or kept sending messages to Xiao Yu on her cell phone. Sometimes she would skip classes and go to see him at his part-time job.

But now, all these behaviors are gone.

She became like a model student, thinking only of studying.

Seeing Ji Yuqiao lowering her head to take notes, her roommate, who had just laid down, stood up again. She couldn't help but pick up a pen and started taking notes with her.

An hour later, the bell rang.

My roommate stretched himself. He hadn’t studied so hard in a long time. He didn’t expect to be so tired. “Yu Qiao, let’s go back to the dormitory together.”

"I'm sorry, I will go back home and won't live in the dormitory anymore." After Ji Yuqiao packed up her stationery, she left the classroom carrying her small schoolbag.

As she walked towards the school gate, she lowered her head and sent a message to Lin Xu saying that she was ready to go home.

When she looked up, she saw Xiao Yu, who was also walking towards the school gate, at the fork in the road.

Their eyes met, and they were both stunned for a moment.

Ji Yuqiao remembered that her roommate said that the teacher invited Xiao Yu to return to school to give a small lecture, so it was not surprising to meet him at school.

She withdrew her gaze and continued to walk out with a calm expression.

Xiao Yu opened his mouth, but called her, "Ji...Yuqiao..."

Ji Yuqiao did not stop walking.

Xiao Yu chased after him, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, "Can you wait for me for a moment? I have something to tell you."

Ji Yuqiao stopped and looked at him silently without saying anything.

"I've thought about a lot of things wrong before, and I've done a lot of wrong things to you. I'm sorry..." Xiao Yu took out a document from his bag and handed it to her, "I don't know if anything I say will be of any use. Consider this project as my compensation."

Ji Yuqiao didn't take it and said coldly, "No need."

As for projects, Ji Tingyang would negotiate them himself, so he didn't need his charity or compensation.

"You, you take it." Xiao Yu stretched out the document in his hand again.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ji Yuqiao was annoyed and waved his hand away, and the document fell to the ground.

The air around them suddenly became quiet.

What broke the silence was Ji Yuqiao's cell phone ringing.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the caller ID. It was Zhao Jiayan calling.

Xiao Yu saw it as well.

Thinking of how skillful she and Zhao Jiayan were before, her chest suddenly ached, as if being pricked by a needle.

When he saw her answering the phone, Xiao Yu subconsciously held her wrist.

Ji Yuqiao was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Yu's thoughts returned, and there was a hint of panic between his brows, but his hand was still holding hers, not letting go.

Ji Yuqiao frowned unhappily, "You..."

"I like you."

Xiao Yu's confession caught everyone off guard.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings seemed to fall into deathly silence, and the cell phone ringing also stopped.

Ji Yuqiao's pupils shrank slightly, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses, "You, you..."

After saying this, Xiao Yu seemed to be relieved. The panic and hesitation in his eyes all disappeared, and his expression was extremely firm. "I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Ji Yuqiao's shocked mood gradually calmed down, and there was a hint of complexity in the look she gave him.

It's ridiculous.

She liked him so much before, but he avoided her.

She had been in pain for a long time, and almost caused her eldest brother's company to go bankrupt because of this. Now that she had finally let it go, he told her that he loved her.

Ji Yuqiao pulled the corners of her lips, revealing a hint of sarcasm, "So what?"

"what?"

"You like me, so what?" Ji Yuqiao's tone was full of sneer, "You're not waiting for me to be grateful to you, thank you for confessing to me, and be with you, right?"

"I didn't mean it, I just wanted to tell you how I feel." Xiao Yu explained hastily, "I know that what I did before disappointed you, I will..."

"It's not disappointment, it's disgust." Ji Yuqiao corrected his wording.

Xiao Yu's body froze, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly. "I, I will try my best to make up for it in the future until you forgive me."

"Give up, I will never forgive you. Just like you told me before, you said you would not like me even if humans become extinct. I feel the same way. Even if humans become extinct, I will not like you." After Ji Yuqiao finished speaking, he turned and left with an expressionless face.

Xiao Yu's fingertips trembled slightly, and a hint of bitterness rose in his heart, constantly surging in his chest. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't suppress this bitterness.

Inexplicable.

He suddenly felt a little resentful towards his past self. Why did he do something to hurt Ji Yuqiao? Why did he say "I will never like you"?

If he hadn't done that, would the outcome be different now?

Xiao Yu moved his feet, wanting to catch up with her and keep her, but his legs seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move at all.

Until Ji Yuqiao's figure disappeared from his eyes, he pulled the corners of his lips with difficulty and smiled with a bit of self-mockery.

He swallowed back into his stomach all the bitterness and pain that was about to overflow from his throat, and his steps seemed to become heavier.
