Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 116 I Only Like Women
Chapter 116: Chapter 116 I Only Like Women
Jiang Kechu didn’t expect Wan Chu’er to be so clever and quick-witted, guessing his purpose for coming so quickly and even obediently admitting her mistake and promising not to interfere anymore.
He thought that Wan Chu’er would, like last time, sing the praises of Mai Qiqi, urging him to get along well with Mai Qiqi.
But that didn’t happen; this girl didn’t seem to be brushing him off.
Looking into Wan Chu’er’s clear, bright eyes, Jiang Kechu felt somewhat restless.
He nodded, then suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of me?" He could naturally see Wan Chu’er’s guard against him.
Wan Chu’er didn’t expect Jiang Kechu to ask this. Thinking quickly, she nodded twice and said, "Yes, a lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room, it doesn’t sound good. Uncle Jiang, if you don’t have anything else, then..."
"You’re not telling the truth," Jiang Kechu stared at Wan Chu’er aggressively.
This girl was bold, she had fought against those three hoodlums that day without any of these concerns, yet she always kept her guard up and distanced herself from him.
Wan Chu’er felt like going crazy; whether I am telling the truth or not, can’t you just understand what I mean? I’m trying to get you to leave, leave!
Seeing Wan Chu’er trying to get angry but holding it back, Jiang Kechu felt a tickle in his heart, and he unconsciously clenched his fists and stood up.
He couldn’t stay any longer.
"Remember what you said today, don’t meddle in my affairs anymore. I’m leaving."
Wan Chu’er didn’t expect Jiang Kechu to suddenly stand up to leave, feeling somewhat overjoyed, she quickly stood up too, "Take care, goodbye."
Seeing her so eager, Jiang Kechu raised his eyebrows but didn’t say anything else, only reminding her to lock the doors and windows well before he left.
After that, Wan Chu’er didn’t see him for two months.
Mai Qiqi would occasionally sigh, "Brother Jiang has been on a mission for so long and has not yet returned. Could something have happened?"
Wan Chu’er directly picked up a book, "We have a holiday exam coming up."
Mai Qiqi wailed for a while and then quickly hugged Wan Chu’er’s notebook, entering a frantic review mode before the exam.
Li Gang finally cornered Wan Chu’er after the exams.
Wan Chu’er looked at him expressionlessly, waiting for Li Gang to speak.
Li Gang, a typical rich second-generation, always had confidence in front of others, but when facing Wan Chu’er, he felt short of breath.
"Wan Chu’er, consider being my girlfriend. I’ve never pursued anyone this hard before. In this lifetime, I have set my heart on you."
Ever since Mai Qiqi brought Wan Chu’er to share a meal with them at the beginning of the semester, he’d been smitten with her at first sight, yet Wan Chu’er had never given him the time of day.
He’d blocked Wan Chu’er numerous times, but unfortunately, each time Mai Qiqi would interrupt, allowing her to slip away.
Seeing her but unable to touch her made him unable to give up, especially after that startling glimpse at the freshman welcome party, he became obsessed with Wan Chu’er.
Wan Chu’er coldly said, "I don’t need a boyfriend."
But Li Gang, who had been pursuing Wan Chu’er for so long, was not someone to be dismissed with just a sentence; he laughed and said:
"I know about your family’s situation. If you become my girlfriend, I can cover your tuition and living expenses for all four years of college, and after graduation, if you want to study abroad, I can go with you and I will also cover those expenses."
In recent years, studying abroad has been a dream for many, especially for graduates from the first university; more than half of them would go to top universities in Europe and America for further studies.
Others might be swayed by the prospect of going abroad, but Wan Chu’er, having lived an extra decade or so in her previous life, knew the moon was not rounder abroad; sparse population, inconvenient life, staying in the country provided more opportunities, especially with the national fast development occurring in these recent decades.
Therefore, she had never considered studying abroad. Going abroad for a visit and gaining some experience, however, she was not opposed to.
As for tuition fees and such, she was no longer worried. If worse came to worst, she would sell the house and immediately have a large amount of money.
Wan Chu’er gave a playful smile and said, "Are you trying to keep me as a kept woman?"
Li Gang was dazzled by Wan Chu’er’s smile. He hurriedly said, "It’s not about keeping you, I’m pursuing you. I’m willing to spend my life with you and share all my wealth with you."
Seeing his earnest words, Wan Chu’er only felt it troublesome. She then coldly responded, "Not interested."
And then she walked a few steps to the side, trying to bypass Li Gang.
It wasn’t easy for Li Gang to block Wan Chu’er without Mai Qiqi causing a commotion, and Li Gang was certainly not about to let her slip away easily. He blocked her path once again.
It seemed it wasn’t easy to get rid of him.
Wan Chu’er stopped again, took a couple of steps back, and stared at Li Gang, asking, "Do you know why I’ve never had a boyfriend and don’t want to find one?"
Li Gang was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Wan Chu’er would ask such a question. He shook his head.
Wan Chu’er lowered her voice and said, "Because I don’t like men, I only like women."
Li Gang was petrified, he stared blankly at Wan Chu’er, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
What did he just hear?!
This time, it was easy to get rid of Li Gang. Before departing, as a prank, Wan Chu’er whispered in the baffled Li Gang’s ear: "Keep it a secret for me."
After a while, Li Gang finally turned around slowly. Watching Wan Chu’er walking away, he felt as if he had been struck by ten thousand points of damage.
After the exams came the winter break, Lin Yufei and the other two in the dormitory were packing their luggage. Even Ma Tianjiao skipped her usual pretenses and hurriedly packed, getting ready to board the train.
Mai Qiqi asked, "Chuchu, are you going back to S Province for the winter break?"
Would she go back?
Who’s left in Wutong County?
Wan Chu’er shook her head and said indifferently, "Not sure yet."
Mai Qiqi thought Wan Chu’er was reminded of some sad memories, and then said, "If you’re in Beijing alone during New Year’s, Xiaoxiao and I will come and visit you."
"Okay," Wan Chu’er casually replied.
"There’s someone looking for you, Wan Chu’er."
Wan Chu’er was daydreaming when someone outside shouted. Lin Yufei nudged her, and she quickly came back to her senses and rushed out of the dormitory.
Who could it be?
Upon leaving the dormitory building, Wan Chu’er saw An Gang holding a bag of apples, standing in front of the bulletin board.
"Wan Chu’er." He greeted her when he saw her.
She didn’t expect An Gang to come looking for her. When she left Wutong County, An Lian had given her An Gang’s phone number and address, but she had never thought of visiting him.
Wan Chu’er smiled faintly and asked, "Brother An Gang, why are you here?"
An Gang had seen her once when she was in her second year of high school. Wan Chu’er had changed a lot since then, her demeanor now carried more human warmth.
He smiled and said, "I was thinking since you all are going on vacation, my dad was worried you might not go back, so he sent me to check on you, see if you had nowhere else to go. You’re welcome to stay with me; there’s room at my place."
It was a simple statement, and especially since she was just reminiscing about Bai Zhixi, it touched a tender chord in Wan Chu’er’s heart.
