Dressed in clean clothes, I sat on the sofa in the living room and suppressed my inner anger towards the three people, who were presumed dead but had also changed their clothes, and asked, "Why did you do something like this?"
"Sen...Senior, you look really scary now,"
"Give me a serious answer!"
I slapped the coffee table, producing a loud noise, which startled Jasmine Wen like a frightened cat.
"Senior...I can't answer you in this state,"
"What about Feiya?!"
I turned my gaze towards Feiya, who didn't dare to meet my eyes.
She trembled and said, "Brother Youjie...Feiya...Feiya knows she was wrong,"
"Why did you play such a game with them? Don't you know that deceiving people is very wrong!?"
"Feiya...Feiya knows she was wrong..."
Feiya repeated this sentence with a shrunken body. It seemed impossible for me to find out the truth from her, as she seemed very afraid of me. So, I turned my gaze towards Su Yuqian. However, Su Yuqian didn't have the remorseful look one would expect when someone has done something wrong. Instead, she had a relaxed expression, which made me even more furious.
"Su Yuqian! Tell me! Why did you do such a thing with them? Are you still young? Don't you know the consequences of doing this? Do you know how serious it is?"
"I won't answer your question,"
Her words poured cold water over me, extinguishing my anger. With nowhere to vent, my anger burned inside me, and blood seeped from my lips that had been bitten earlier.
"Senior...Senior...I admit it..."
When I heard Jasmine Wen say this, I eased up slightly.
"You should wipe away the blood from the corner of your mouth..."
Jasmine Wen handed me a tissue, and I wiped the corner of my mouth. I mustered a weak "Thank you."
"I didn't expect to make Senior so angry... It's my fault. It seems I joked a bit too much. I just wanted to scare Senior and find out our position in Senior's heart."
Jasmine Wen said apologetically.
"Just for this... just for this purpose... you did this?"
"No... it's not just for this purpose. The most important thing is to let Senior know how he is regarded by Zhiye, Xu and Raina," Jasmine Wen explained.
"What do you mean?"
I asked, confused.
"It's not fair to neglect Zhiye. Of course, the fewer opponents I have, the better it is for me, but I sacrificed my appearance and still couldn't win Senior's heart. On the other hand, Xu, who has been wearing the girlfriend halo of Senior, holds an unshakable position. It's really unfair. Besides, hasn't Xu already dumped Senior? Did they rekindle their old relationship after not seeing each other for a year?"
"No... that's not true..."
Su Yuqian blushed and replied.
"But Xu seems to enjoy it. I thought Xu was really Senior's girlfriend until I asked Taohong. I was completely in the dark," I said with frustration.
"Taohong..."
I mentioned the name angrily.
"Senior, this is what Taohong said..."
Jasmine Wen pointed at the message on the screen of her phone and handed it to me. I took it and read, "I'm really sorry... I'm truly sorry for not keeping Senior Youjie's secret, but... I also want fair treatment and fair competition..."
"What is this?" I almost shouted.
"Senior... it seems like you have quite a few girls who like you," Jasmine Wen said.
"Enough! Su Yuqian should be my girlfriend," I shouted.
"Are you still evading, Senior? Or are you unwilling to accept the fact that Xu dumped you? And... wake up to the fact that you have neglected Zhiye for a year," Jasmine Wen said.
"What a joke,"
I gasped in anger.
"Jerry... Your lips are bleeding again..." Zhiye helped me wipe away the blood from my lips.
"Senior... Don't underestimate the feelings of each girl for you,"
Jasmine Wen said to me, "Yuqian, if you want to start over, I don't mind... But at least, at least there are five... no... four rivals for you." She then counted on her fingers while speaking to Su Yuqian, who remained silent. "Ah... I need to work harder... How about we find a time to make the senior fall for me, so that I can have them for myself." Can my plan work if I reveal it like this?
"Senior, please think about it carefully... Everyone likes you so much, you should take it seriously. If you choose Taoxiang, or Ziye, or that BL-loving rotten girl, Ye Kongmei, or if you go back to choosing Yuqian, those are all your choices. But I hope you consider me more... because I'm the one who can't live without you. If you don't choose me, then let me be your secret lover..."
I couldn't give any answer, so I remained silent. Later, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. I still couldn't believe that Su Yuqian had dumped me.
On the third day, the enjoyable beach camping came to an end. Sitting on the subway heading home, my emotions were more complicated than ever. I stared at the blazing sun in the sky, not having any concrete thoughts, just emptying my mind.
