Chapter 120: I Simply Look Down on Them

Jiang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Fei, seemingly asking for his opinion.

Chu Fei shrugged, indicating he didn't care.

He truly didn't care. Guan Ya could tell her anything she wanted, including what happened between him and Song Yalan last night. As for whether Jiang Yunqi would choose to stay with him or brand him a scumbag and cut ties once she found out, Chu Fei would respect her decision. He wouldn't pester her; that wasn't his style.

However, if Jiang Yunqi chose to stay with him, he would do everything in his power to protect her and give her the best of everything. This was why he had been upfront with her from the start: he would not have only one woman. He could be a player, but he would not be a liar—especially not to the girl he liked, even if there was always more than one girl he liked. This wasn't being a scumbag; he just wanted to provide a home for every girl.

*Damn, that’s impressive—a triple rhyme!*

Just as Chu Fei was thinking this, a few girls came over to ask for his WeChat. They had been conquered by his slick demeanor just moments ago. Chu Fei turned them down one by one, explaining that he had a girlfriend, and the girls walked away disappointed.

Luo Man said with some surprise, "I didn't expect that. They all said you were a scumbag; I thought you'd take all comers and start reeling them in!"

"Don't think so poorly of people, okay?" Chu Fei retorted, "I just genuinely don't find them attractive."

Luo Man: "..."

It was a good thing those girls had already walked far away, or they might have tried to fight him on the spot.

Luo Man asked again, "Do you think they'll fight over you?"

Before Chu Fei could answer, he received a WeChat message from Jiang Yunqi. The first sentence left him completely baffled.

"If I continue to be with you, will you have a 'fecal change' of personality because of other women in the future?"

Chu Fei read it again, still not understanding. "What do you think she means by this?" He showed his phone to Luo Man.

After reading it, Luo Man remarked, "An undergraduate can't understand this. Let me get a master's degree and take another look later."

Just as Chu Fei's brain was frying, trying to figure out why Jiang Yunqi would have the delusion that she was feces, she sent another message.

"Typo, I meant a 'drastic change' of personality..."

"I thought you’d given yourself such a unique nickname!"

"...I'm in no mood to joke with you right now!"

"Where are you?"

"Downstairs."

Chu Fei put his phone away. Ignoring Wang Hai, who was still trying to convince him to become a teacher at the school, he headed straight downstairs. He saw Guan Ya just as she was about to leave. He didn't ask what she had said, but Guan Ya took the initiative.

"Don't think I betrayed you. I just felt she had the right to know the truth."

"It doesn't matter; I wasn't planning on hiding it from her anyway."

Guan Ya looked at Chu Fei deeply and said, "Regardless, thanks to you for last night."

"You're welcome, we're family," Chu Fei chuckled.

Guan Ya didn't say anything more and turned to leave. Only Jiang Yunqi remained, standing in place, looking rather dejected. Chu Fei walked over. Seeing her expression, he didn't offer any explanation, instead just lighting a cigarette.

"Guan Guan told me everything about you and that lady," Jiang Yunqi said. "You ran off suddenly last night because you went to save her, right? And you made up with her, just leaving me alone in the hotel like that—aren't you being a bit too much?"

Facing Jiang Yunqi's questioning, Chu Fei exhaled a puff of smoke and replied nonchalantly, "Oh."

"Just an 'oh'?" Jiang Yunqi said, dissatisfied. "Can you act like a decent human being? You're acting like a scumbag, swindling money, beauty, and emotions. Honestly...!"

Chu Fei interrupted, "You misunderstood; it was actually two words: 'suck it.'"

This reminded Jiang Yunqi of the scene earlier that morning, and her face turned red instantly. With that single remark, the tense atmosphere vanished completely. Jiang Yunqi was a bit angry at herself for being so weak. She gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll leave you because of this?"

"Not afraid, because if you really wanted to leave, you wouldn't have messaged me," Chu Fei said, hitting the nail on the head.

Jiang Yunqi clenched her delicate fists. "Then what should I do now?"

A normal girl couldn't accept such a messy situation with her boyfriend. Joking was one thing, but when it came down to it, these things were actually quite serious.

"If you want to break up, break up. If you want to talk, talk," Chu Fei looked at her calmly. "Just don't trap yourself, and don't be too scared to keep moving forward."

"What do you mean? Are you breaking up with me?" Jiang Yunqi said, agitated. "We only just decided to be together this morning, and now you want to break up? You..."

Chu Fei shifted the topic. "You have class in a bit, right? I remember the classroom is on the west side. Do you even know your directions?"

"?"

She couldn't keep up with his sudden change of subject, but she still shook her head. "Didn't I tell you I don't? You really didn't take my words..."

Before she could finish, Chu Fei took her hand. A slightly mischievous laugh echoed in her ear.

"Fine, since you said you don't want to break up, then we won't."

"???"

*The brat, he was waiting for me there!*

Chu Fei pulled her hand and started walking toward the next classroom.

"I won't give you any low-class speech about you having to share me with other women," Chu Fei said without looking back. "You can leave whenever you want, but if you're willing to stay, there will always be a place for you in my heart."

"What do you call that?" Jiang Yunqi muttered.

Chu Fei replied, "That's love."

One is willing to hit, and the other is willing to get hit—isn't that love?

"I love you, you twisted pretzel!" Jiang Yunqi successfully finished the punchline.

But Jiang Yunqi's heart didn't feel as heavy anymore. In truth, she knew Chu Fei hadn't lied to her. And because of the need to change his fate, it was impossible for her to be his only woman. It was just that accepting this would take time. But it didn't matter. Looking at it from another perspective, she might as well consider herself as getting a free ride!

The two arrived at the foreign language classroom. Jiang Yunqi's mood had improved significantly, and she didn't bring up the matter again. She only had one small request: from now on, when they were on a date, Chu Fei was not allowed to ditch her for other women!

Chu Fei agreed, naturally. Just then, a linguistics professor on the podium was presenting an interesting concept.

"In English, a double negative expresses a positive," the professor said earnestly. "But in Russian, a double negative still expresses a negative. However, there is no language to date that can use a double affirmative to express a negative."

Just as the students were listening with great interest, a voice came from Chu Fei in the classroom:

"Yeah, right, right, right!"

*See? Chinese is definitely the best!*

"..."

Meanwhile, inside the Shen family estate, Shen Linglong was holding an invitation, showing it off to the rest of the family...!
