Chapter 324: Chapter 264 - Who can understand this thing called love? (Please subscribe!)_1

Without even turning his head, Tang Qing knew it was Wang Yan. But his and Wang Yan’s home are in completely different directions. What was going on?

He turned his head and saw Wang Yan jogging towards him, her face full of surprise. Seeing Wang Yan pushing away the hair blocking her eyes, Tang Qing felt a bit fluttery.

Cough cough, his bad.

"Um, Wang Yan, why are you here?" Tang Qing curiously asked, putting aside his thoughts.

Wang Yan was very pleased with Tang Qing’s reaction. "Yesterday was my best friend’s birthday, so I stayed the night at her place."

"Oh, I see." Tang Qing nodded, and after thinking hard, he realized that he could not remember what the best friend looked like.

"Have you had breakfast yet? Would you like some?" Tang Qing offered her the bag in his hand. It had three pancake rolls left. He had bought thirty, but he had already eaten the other twenty-seven.

Wang Yan waved her hand and smiled, "No thank you, I already had breakfast. Did you not have breakfast?"

"Er, kind of..." said Tang Qing. After reaching Level 2, he no longer needed to eat in the way he used to. But it was hard to change such a habit. He always felt that eating was so interesting, so joyful. He slowly understood the happiness of a foodie and felt content in gluttony.

"Is it tasty?" Wang Yan asked as she watched Tang Qing happily stuff half a pancake roll into his mouth. Even though she was already full, she found herself wanting to eat one. She swallowed hard, affected by Tang Qing’s foodie nature.

"Mmm, it’s okay. I’d never had it before. Discovered a new place a few days ago that makes them really good," Tang Qing said.

"My mom also makes these. Next time, I’ll bring you some," Wang Yan resolved. She would learn how to make them when she returned home.

"Your mom seems to be good at everything," Tang Qing joked.

"Of course! Apart from watching those...what, her favorite thing is to research all kinds of food," Wang Yan said, too embarrassed to name the kung fu films her mother enjoyed. Not because it was humiliating, but because it was a bit unusual.

"Well, then I’ll look forward to your pancake roll." Tang Qing finished his sentence and gulped down the last piece, throwing the bag into the garbage can at the school gate.

"Okay, what do you think of these shoes?" Wang Yan suddenly asked.

"Pfft...what?" Tang Qing was caught off guard by the question. A woman asking a man’s opinion about shoes? This scared him a little.

"I mean my new shoes," Wang Yan repeated, then waited for Tang Qing’s answer while looking earnestly into his eyes.

Tang Qing was almost breaking out in a cold sweat.

This conversation was taking a strange turn.

"Oh, these? They’re not bad. Hey, are they from Sheng Tang?" Tang Qing looked closer and was surprised to find that the shoes were from Sheng Tang. He did not even own a pair of shoes from Sheng Tang. Last time, he just tried on the shirts and trousers. Sheng Tang didn’t offer customized shoes, all the shoes were mass-produced.

"Hmm, I bought them last weekend. It was too cold to wear them earlier. They’re nice. Have you ever visited our Sheng Tang store? It’s huge! Though, some things are a bit expensive," Wang Yan excitedly talked about the Sheng Tang store.

"Not yet. I still have a lot of clothes to wear. What’s the use of going there?" Tang Qing said with a light laugh. As the starting point, Qingyan City was not only home to Sheng Tang but also Liu Qian’s main domain. Thanks to his connections, Liu Qian was able to secure a prime location for Sheng Tang’s flagship store in Qingyan City. Located in the city center, spanning three floors with brand partitions, each floor was vast. Even though he had not seen it in person, Tang Qing had seen photos of it in company emails.

Wang Yan smiled and nodded, "True, as Sheng Tang’s boss, you’d never be short of clothes. Speaking of which, are you free this weekend?"

"What for?" Tang Qing asked.

"My...my parents would like to invite you for dinner?" Wang Yan said softly with her head lowered.

Tang Qing was so surprised that he asked, "Huh? Dinner? What’s the occasion?" It seemed like he was always being invited to have meals, and although the free food was great, he felt a bit uneasy around Mr. and Mrs. Wang. After all, in his previous life, they had been close to becoming family.

"Well... I told them that you’ve been really helpful to me academically. That’s why they..." Wang Yan said quietly, looking at Tang Qing, fearing that he would decline.

After listening to Wang Yan’s brief explanation,

Tang Qing immediately imagined the discussion that might have taken place between her parents.

Mrs. Wang: "Sweetie, come and eat. You can do your homework later. Are you feeling a lot of pressure from studying recently? Don’t worry. After all, you want to get into Shang Yin and we have connections there. You don’t need to score that high."

Wang Yan: "Not really, anything I don’t understand, I can ask Tang Qing. He knows everything."

Mrs. Wang: "Oh really? We should thank him then. How about we invite him for dinner next weekend, what do you think, Husband?"

Mr. Wang: "Sure, that young man is not bad. He’s handsome, rich, and studies well. He’s really...I could go on endlessly... let’s invite him over."

Mrs. Wang: "I also think that the more I look at this boy, the more..."

"..."

Can’t do it.

Can’t continue the story.

Tang Qing shakes his head.

He tosses these messy thoughts out of his mind. If he continues, it would be a total mess.

"Alright then, let’s do Saturday night. I have other things on Sunday." Tang Qing thinks for a bit before responding. Since he has been invited, it’s not polite to decline. As for Sunday, he actually has nothing planned. He just wants to spend some time with Lin Jiaxue.

Tang Qing feels a little confused.

"Yeah, sure." Wang Yan happily replies.

On campus, the two chat sporadically. It’s primarily Wang Yan talking while Tang Qing listens. This feels familiar to him because it was like this before. When they went out, Wang Yan would chatter non-stop and he would just respond and agree. Whether he answered ’um’ or anything else, Wang Yan would always be happy and continue talking, telling him all kinds of interesting things. And what comforted him was that he never grew impatient.

Just thinking about it makes him want to slap himself.

Seeing the cheerful Wang Yan beside him, he didn’t know if he felt nostalgic or what. Anyway, he felt that he owed Wang Yan, owed her a lot, so much that he did not know how to repay her. The debt of love is the hardest to bear and can be the most hurtful. He was a person who was faithful in love. When he had Lin Jiaxue in his past life, he never thought of anyone else. But when Lin Jiaxue died in a car accident, Wang Yan slowly entered his heart, but Lin Jiaxue was never replaced.

In this life, due to the influence of his past life, Lin Jiaxue is alive, but Wang Yan could not be removed from his heart. Besides these two women, no one else could ever enter his life. Other women, no matter how pretty, he had no romantic interest in them. At most, they were like Dou Jiao and Qi Yan, they were like ’sisters’ to him.

If Wang Yan had left him in her past life for a happier life, he would have no regrets and would break off all ties. He would not even be friends, but he could not see Wang Yan’s future.

He didn’t know if it was selfishness or what. Was this considered putting up a facade?

Maybe so.

Sigh.

A single word of sentiment.

Who can decipher it?
