Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 38 Perform well and I'll let you chase me

"?"

Su Qing decided to forget Zhou Yuwen and tore up the drawing in her hand.

Shen Yu tried to persuade Su Qing not to torture herself.

As the two were arguing, Zheng Yanyan suddenly spoke up.

Su Qing was startled and looked at Zheng Yanyan with curiosity.

Zheng Yanyan didn't beat around the bush; she simply showed Su Qing her chat history with Chang Hao, as there were no secrets in it.

All it contained was Chang Hao baring his teeth from time to time, saying some inexplicable things.

But Su Qing and Shen Yu always directly ignored these.

No one thought Chang Hao was romantic.

Nor would any girl be moved by the things Chang Hao said.

Especially a girl like Su Qing, once she knew that Zhou Yuwen and Li Shiqi were not boyfriend and girlfriend.

But even then, he wasn't the Zhou Yuwen she wanted!

It was only after Shen Yu understood the full story that she suddenly realized she had misunderstood Zhou Yuwen.

Was Zhou Yuwen trying to help that girl?

This realization had a significant impact on Shen Yu because she had always thought that Zhou Yuwen had hurt Su Qing.

But now.

"Now you understand, right?" Zheng Yanyan put away her phone and asked curiously, "Su Qing, what's your relationship with Zhou Yuwen? You seem obsessed with him; I remember you two don't know each other, right?"

Hearing Zheng Yanyan's words, Shen Yu also turned her head curiously towards Su Qing.

To be honest, Su Qing now held an obsession with Zhou Yuwen that ordinary people couldn't understand.

Does it have to be Zhou Yuwen?

You're so outstanding, can't it be someone else?

Facing the puzzled looks from others, Su Qing realized that after being reborn, she had done many things that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, but now it was too late.

There was no turning back now.

"Why do you like Zhou Yuwen so much?" Zheng Yanyan asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"I,"

As her roommates looked at her doubtfully, Su Qing hesitated for a long time and suddenly remembered a scene from a movie she had watched with Zhou Yuwen in the past.

After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "Actually, I knew Zhou Yuwen when we were very young."

"?"

Su Qing explained that when she was young, she had been sickly and had to live in the hospital for a while.

During that time, her parents were going through a divorce.

Since she was making up a story, it definitely had to be mixed with fact and fiction, Su Qing related the events incorporating half from the movie plot, and half from real circumstances.

The real circumstances were that Su Qing grew up in a single-parent family, dependent solely on her mother from a young age.

This is also why Su Qing's personality was somewhat obsessive.

Girls who grow up in single-parent households often develop some psychological blemishes.

But Su Qing was fortunate because she met Zhou Yuwen.

In Su Qing's explanation, at that time she was only nine years old, living alone in the hospital, with neither parent bothering to visit her because of the divorce.

She was most helpless back then.

At that time, only Zhou Yuwen, who was staying in the same hospital, was with her.

Under the night sky spattered with stars.

Su Qing lay alone on the hospital bed, gazing at the stars outside the window, unable to sleep whatsoever.

It was then that Zhou Yuwen, lying on the bed opposite Su Qing's, would be sound asleep.

The nine-year-old Su Qing always liked to climb stealthily onto Zhou Yuwen's bed after he fell asleep.

Then she would lie in Zhou Yuwen's arms.

At that time, Su Qing always felt incredibly safe.

This story was so enchanting that both Zheng Yanyan and Shen Yu were mesmerized.

They also understood why Su Qing liked Zhou Yuwen so much.

Shen Yu told Su Qing that her situation was known as the "pacifier effect."

The so-called pacifier effect is a concept of psychological dependency in humans because the young Su Qing had developed a dependency on Zhou Yuwen, and this dependency grew with her as she grew up.

"Maybe that's why you're so insistently fond of Zhou Yuwen," Shen Yu said.

As the story was made up by Su Qing, hearing Shen Yu say this made her gracefully agree, "Maybe."

"Have you ever thought that this might not be liking, but just a kind of habitual dependence?" Shen Yu still wanted to rescue Su Qing.

But Su Qing shook her head; she was sure of what she wanted in her heart.

Zheng Yanyan was actually moved by Su Qing's story.

She asked Su Qing if she still wanted to be with Zhou Yuwen.

"?" Su Qing looked at Zheng Yanyan strangely.

"If you do, I'll help you!" Zheng Yanyan said with a smile, winking.

"Help me?"

"Yeah, Chang Hao is chasing me, right? I'll ask him to organize a social gathering, and then we can invite Zhou Yuwen so you can have a frank talk with him," Zheng Yanyan thought it was a perfect plan.

Zheng Yanyan said, tell Zhou Yuwen that you've liked him since you were a child.

"If he still doesn't feel the same by then, we'll just think of something else!"

"As long as you're willing, there's no man under heaven that I can't conquer!"

Zheng Yanyan had a confident look as if she had already decided to help until the end.

Shen Yu said, "Su Qing has decided to let go; you should stop meddling."

"Don't talk, let Su Qing speak. Are you giving up or not?" Zheng Yanyan stared at Su Qing; she found it quite interesting.

Su Qing suddenly fell silent.

Well, although the current Zhou Yuwen might not be the Zhou Yuwen she liked.

But it was still Zhou Yuwen.

Though not the ideal, he somewhat resembles the ideal.

After being silent for a while, Su Qing asked, "Can you really get Zhou Yuwen to come out?"

"Isn't that easy? Don't forget, I have him!"

Zheng Yanyan boasted as she waved her cellphone in front of Su Qing.

Inside the phone, Chang Hao had already sent several messages.

"You there?"

"Yanyan, why aren't you speaking?"

"Yanyan, I shouldn't have said what I said just now."

At that moment, Chang Hao in bed deeply regretted rushing into his confession and especially comparing himself to Zhou Yuwen.

While he was feeling remorseful,

Zheng Yanyan sent him a message: "Do you want to chase me?"

This message shocked Chang Hao so much that he bolted up from bed, his head throbbing: "Guys! I'm about to get a girlfriend! I'm about to get a girlfriend!"

He suddenly shouted, startling Zhou Yuwen, who was reading a novel in bed, and Li Qiang, who was working nearby.

"Brother Hao, are you sick? It's late night!"

Chang Hao, excited, got out of bed and showed his phone to Zhou Yuwen.

"Old Zhou! Old Zhou, teach me!"

"What's the matter?" Li Qiang was curious.

Upon coming over, he found out.

It was a message from Zheng Yanyan.

"Quick, tell me, how should I reply?" Chang Hao placed the phone in front of Zhou Yuwen and asked.

Zhou Yuwen said, "Just reply yes!"

"No, what I mainly want to know is, what does she mean by sending me this message? Does she want to date me now? Should I play it cool?" Chang Hao asked.

In fact, Chang Hao wasn't wrong to think this way, even Li Qiang felt a bit jealous.

It's only the second day of university, and one roommate is rich, the other is trying to get a beautiful girlfriend.

So only he is ordinary?

No matter how he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.

Chang Hao clearly wasn't paying attention to Li Qiang's feelings but just kept asking Zhou Yuwen, what did Yanyan mean by her message?

Did she like him?

"Why don't you just ask her then?"

"How should I ask?"

"Just say, 'Indeed, I do have feelings for you.'"

Chang Hao, very obedient, sent the reply straight away.

Within seconds, he received a message: "Then I'll give you a chance, invite our dorm to dinner. If you perform well, I'll consider letting you chase me."
