Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Xinghe was holding Jiahe’s hand while they came out of the Halves Hotel. While they were walking, Jiahe seemed to have something to say, but no sound came from her mouth. She sneaked a look on his huge hand which was enveloping hers from time to time.

Were they… boyfriend and girlfriend now?

However, it seemed that he had nothing to say about that.

When she was with Chi Jun back then, they never talked things out before getting into a romantic relationship. When Chi Jun dumped her, he even had the nerve to say that she was never his girlfriend in the first place.

Although she would not think that Xinghe was cut out of the same cloth, Jiahe could not shake away that feeling of unease and worry.

“Hey…”

Just as Jiahe wanted to broach the topic, a notification sound from Xinghe’s Instagram sounded.

He took his phone and checked the message. Jiahe saw it too. It was from Shirley.

Jiahe bit her lips and frowned, “You really went and added Shirley?”

She sounded a little bitter.

Xinghe raised his brows, “Isn’t it you who recommended her to me? If Shirley is your recommendation, I would need to add her out of politeness, no?”

“...”

He was trying to make it sound like it was her fault! He was really argumentative!

Xinghe would never know how reluctant Jiahe was back then when he gave him Shirley’s Instagram.

It was just that Shirley was her classmate in university and they shared the same dorm right now. They were paying for the rental together and Shirley was even paying more. If they could not get along, Shirley would leave, which left Jiahe scrambling to find another roommate. If she could not find another roommate, paying rental would become a problem.

Jiahe pouted and muttered, “You wouldn’t reject her in the first place, huh? Guys can’t resist pretty girls, can they?”

She sounded jealous and bitter.
