After dropping that line, Xie Xiaoyan covered her face and ran away in tears.
Qin Youbei looked at Zhou Xiyu, pushed him away, and said irritably, "Aren't you going to chase after her?"
"Chase what? Shell, you know very well that I like you!" Zhou Xiyu angrily tugged at his hair, "After all these years, how can you not understand that my intention was never just to be friends with you."
How had things gotten to this point between them? It was all because of Xie Xiaoyan. He had everything planned; for years he had stayed by Shell's side, driving away every man who tried to approach her, ensuring she had no choice but him.
And he intended to propose to her as soon as she graduated.
But why had he fallen for Xie Xiaoyan's ploy?
He felt he had wronged Shell; he became scared; he couldn't wait for Shell to graduate.
Previously, he had suggested that Shell pretend to be his girlfriend, hoping to eventually turn the pretense into reality, but Shell rejected him.
