Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

There's a college basketball game in mid-October, and Rong Zixuan's team is definitely going to be selected. But recently, Zheng Lan and the others have been telling me about a pretty freshman who watches them practice at the basketball court every day and even brings Rong Zixuan water and tissues. I was skeptical, since Rong Zixuan hadn't told me anything. But with so many people telling me, and with so much evidence, my resolve began to waver.

One afternoon, we finished class at 4:00, and he was going to practice as usual, so I didn't take it seriously. But as we reached the library entrance, I remembered Zheng Lan's words, and my suspicions began to grow. I turned and left the library for the basketball court, but halfway there I turned back. What if it was just a misunderstanding? Rong Zixuan hadn't told me about this. Couples should trust each other!

I was halfway through reading when my phone vibrated twice. I picked up the phone to check the messages. It was from Liang Yan. Two photos, one of a girl handing water to Rong Zixuan, and another one of Rong Zixuan and the girl chatting and laughing! I was shocked when I saw this, but I still believed that it was not what the photos showed on the surface. Maybe every schoolmate was given water! I put down my phone and continued reading my book. After a while, another message came. It was a photo sent by Hu Ning. This time it was more intimate. The girl wiped Rong Zixuan's sweat, and Rong Zixuan was smiling and not avoiding it! My eyes went dark. I couldn't help but think about such an intimate action, but I still wanted Rong Zixuan to explain it to me himself, so I continued reading as if nothing had happened.

When they returned to the dormitory at night, Hu Ning was the first to ask, "Qing'er, why didn't you reply to my message?"

“I don’t know what to say.”

"No, you've already made such an intimate move, why don't you ask?"

"No matter how much you trust him, you have to ask him. It's impossible to ask him to say it himself! Men will not refuse the kindness of other women, especially such a beautiful woman! What they are best at is playing ambiguity!" Zheng Lan said, putting her arm around my shoulder.

"Breaking news!" Liu Xiu rushed in and said breathlessly.

"What news?" Hu Ning asked in confusion.

"Rong Zixuan was having dinner with a girl. She was so pretty. My boyfriend said she was a beautiful, rich girl! Her family was very rich, and she drove a Porsche 911 when she was in school!"

After hearing this, I felt like the sky was falling. My face turned pale and I didn't say anything for a long time.

"Qing'er? Are you okay?" Liu Xiu asked ashamedly.

"It's okay!" I was as stiff as a robot.

None of them knew how to comfort me, and they only suggested that I go to Rong Zixuan to ask for clarification. But first I went to Zhao Wenlong, a classmate of mine who was also on the basketball team, to get some details.

"Wenlong, has your basketball team trained with anyone else recently?"

Zhao Wenlong should know what I mean, because everyone in the grade knows that Rong Zixuan and I are a couple. "No, but you should probably ask that girl. She's a freshman in our major. One day last week, we were training, and Rong Zixuan made a shot, and she suddenly started screaming on the sidelines. We didn't think much of it at the time, but then she came every day. But strangely, she only bought water for Rong Zixuan. I wanted to get a bottle, but she yelled at me!"

"Oh, I see! Then what is Rong Zixuan's attitude towards her?"

"To be honest, from a boy's perspective, Rong Zixuan is just playing with her ambiguity! Liang Yan has already told that girl that he has a girlfriend, but Rong Zixuan actually said that you won't be angry, that we are just ordinary friends."

"okay, thank you"

Zhao Wenlong and Rong Zixuan didn't have any grudges, so his words were more believable and impersonal. Later, I asked my teammate Liang Yan, and his answer was similar to Zhao Wenlong's. But Liang Yan had a frontal photo of that girl. She was beautiful, prettier than a celebrity! Seeing her so beautiful, I felt a strange sense of inferiority. After much deliberation, I decided to forward the photos Liang Yan and Hu Ning had sent me to Rong Zixuan and ask him what was going on. He didn't reply for a long time. Then, my classmate Lin Yu sent me a photo of Rong Zixuan eating with that girl, and she was even feeding him! I was furious! I started calling him non-stop, but he didn't answer! I had no choice but to do other things, but my mind was filled with intimate photos of Rong Zixuan and that girl, and I couldn't concentrate on my work!

Much later, Rong Zixuan replied to me, "Just an ordinary friend, are you angry?" followed by a mean emoticon.

"Ordinary friends will feed you?"

"Don't listen to what others say, it's not true!"

"You can't say this photo is photoshopped," I sent the photo of feeding.

“She insisted on feeding me and I couldn’t refuse.”

"Then why did you want to eat alone with her? Did you save her life? Or is he your cousin?"

"How can you not trust me now?"

"Don't change the subject. I'm asking you why you want to have dinner alone with her?"

"It's hard for me to refuse the invitation."

"Why did they only invite you? Don't you know it in your heart?"

"I do not know"

"Don't play dumb, you're doing this knowingly!"

"Please don't be angry, I was wrong."

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing he still hadn't realized his mistake, I simply ignored him. Later, he sent me a bunch of apology emojis, but I ignored them all. Perhaps he realized something was wrong and called me, but I hung up. I called Zheng Lan and the others, but I didn't answer either.

The next day I didn't buy him breakfast, nor did I go to the library cafeteria with him. I just ignored him. He also realized the seriousness of the problem and stopped me on the way to the library.

"A Qing, wait for me! Tell me what I did wrong, I can change it. But don't ignore me like this!"

"If you don't even know what you did wrong, how can you correct it?"

"I can only change if you tell me!"

I rolled my eyes at him and walked away without looking back. He stood there, bewildered. Later, he asked Zheng Lan and the others for help.

"Sister Lan, please help me. I can even call you grandma."

"You don't even realize where you went wrong! You're hopeless!"

"Is it because of Yin Yin?"

"That girl's name is Yin Yin!"

"Yes, her name is Zhu Yinyin. She likes my playing, she just regards me as an idol! There is nothing between us!"

"Feeding? Wiping sweat? That's nothing?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Let me ask you, what do you think if Liang Yan wipes Wei Qing's sweat and feeds him?"

"He dares! I'll just punch him!"

"So you know! You also know that it's wrong for the opposite sex to wipe the sweat off his girlfriend and feed her, but why is it okay for you? You're really good at playing double standards!"

Zheng Lan's criticism left Rong Zixuan speechless. He stammered, "But a girl like her is so beautiful. Such attention to detail is irresistible to any boy."

"You finally spoke your mind! Since you like someone else, then go break up with Wei Qing! What's the point of this situation now? Two-timing?"

"Why are you trying to persuade them to break up instead of reconcile?"

"You've already cheated on me mentally, and your body is moving towards infidelity step by step. If I continue to try to reconcile, am I still a human being?"

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I will go and explain it to Zhu Yinyin right now."

"Now, it's too late!"

"Then what should I do?"

"You ask me? Why weren't you anxious when you did these things that let Wei Qing down? Do you regret it now?"

"This is a hormonal impulse, not my intention"

"Still quibbling, your crime is even more serious!"

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Zheng Lan, Rong Zixuan left in shame.
