Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

"Wei Qing, are you free this afternoon? Shall we go play some tennis?" After class, Liang Yan walked up to me and asked.

"She's busy!" Rong Zixuan pushed Liang Yan away, and Liang Yan stumbled back a few steps. I didn't want to have any more conversation with Rong Zixuan, so I left from the other side. Seeing that I ignored him, Rong Zixuan jogged after me.

"Aqing, let's go to the movies this afternoon!" Rong Zixuan said to me with a smile.

"Please call me Wei Qing!" I answered him expressionlessly.

"Ah Qing, please don't be like this. I was really wrong. I was wrong for not trusting you. I was wrong for provoking Zhu Yinyin to make you angry. I was wrong for being so petty. I was wrong for hurting you and our relationship. I was wrong, I was really wrong! Ah Qing!"

I stopped and looked at him. "If I had known this earlier, why did I do it in the first place? You found someone better after we broke up, didn't you? Many boys envy you for finding a goddess-level girlfriend like Zhu Yinyin. And as your ex-girlfriend, I didn't cry or make a fuss, and treated you with all my dignity. Why are you still pestering me? Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be angry?"

"Zhu Yinyin is not my girlfriend! I have already made it clear to her. I just used her to make you angry. She even slapped me twice. It hurt." He touched his face aggrievedly.

I looked at him speechlessly. "So, what does this have to do with me? I'm not interested in what's going on between you and her!"

"Is our relationship over just like that? We were so good before, how could it change so suddenly now?"

"You have to ask yourself, didn't you bring this upon yourself?" Zheng Lan said as she walked up from behind. "Our Qing'er hasn't done anything to offend you before, yet you provoked Zhu Yinyin for no reason and even made such intimate gestures in public without any hesitation. I gave you a chance to explain, but you acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water and insisted that we were just ordinary friends. Then Qing'er got angry, and you held hands with Zhu Yinyin in front of her and slapped her in the face in front of the whole grade. Do you love her? If you love her, why would you humiliate her like this?"

"I've already told you it's not what you think, and it wasn't me who provoked Zhu Yinyin, she provoked me first."

"The question of who provoked whom first is meaningless now! Let me ask you, was it our imagination that Zhu Yinyin wiped your sweat? Was it our imagination that Zhu Yinyin fed you? Was it our imagination that you held Zhu Yinyin's hand? Was it our imagination or was it just an excuse for you to escape reality?"

Rong Zixuan was speechless. With Zheng Lan around, he felt really safe and she could see clearly and thoroughly through matters of the heart.

"Now, Qing'er has broken up with you and she is single. So it's normal for a boy to pursue her! Before, I didn't really believe in fate, but now seeing you two like this, I'm starting to believe it."

Rong Zixuan was confused, "Why?"

"Originally, your relationship was very stable, and you were even at the engagement stage. Even someone as good as Li Zhanwen wouldn't have had a chance, but now you're courting death. Isn't this God giving Li Zhanwen a chance? Oh, and Shen Junhui. They're both much more handsome and richer than you, and they won't hurt Qing'er like you did! If they finally get married, I'll make sure they thank you for your help."

"Li Zhanwen is pursuing you? That's not possible. We haven't broken up yet. You are still my girlfriend! No! My fiancée!" Rong Zixuan grabbed my arm and shouted angrily.

"Let go, Qing'er and you have broken up. Whether you admit it or not, this relationship is over. You have to accept the reality! And isn't this what you want?" Zheng Lan pulled Rong Zixuan away.

"When was this ever what I wanted? I've said it countless times, it was just..."

"Angry Qing'er? Listen to what you said. A boyfriend flirting with someone of the opposite sex to piss off his girlfriend? Don't you think it's absurd that you came up with such a stupid move?"

"I didn't think so much at the time. Shen Junhui really put too much pressure on me. What do I have to do to make you forgive me?" Rong Zixuan covered his face and cried in frustration.

"Qing'er, you see, he is just trying to win your sympathy now. He has no other tricks left. In the end, he can only use tears to win your sympathy. You must not be fooled!" After saying that, Zheng Lan pulled me away.

Rong Zixuan kept messaging and calling me, but I ignored him. Whenever he wanted to sit next to me during class, Zheng Lan and the others blocked his way, forcing him to sit in front or behind me. Sometimes Liang Yan would even deliberately take the seat, preventing him from sitting near me. He kept buzzing around me after class, but I ignored him. My roommates all stood by me, so he was isolated and helpless.

"I have transferred all the money you have deposited with me to your bank card. Please check it and tell me in time if there is any mistake or omission." I sent him a message, and then his phone called me, and I still answered it.

"Are you really going to do this?"

"I will count the betrothal gifts you gave me and return them all after we get home."

"Is there really no room for redemption between us?"

“Did you consider the current situation when you did these things?”

"Don't you think you're making a big deal out of nothing?"

"Oh! You're making a mountain out of a molehill! Tell me about it!"

"Nothing happened between me and Zhu Yinyin. I was just wiping her sweat and feeding her, but I did this on purpose for you to see. I really want to get more of your attention. Ever since you and Xiao Yuan founded the company, your focus has been almost entirely on work and writing. It seems like there's very little time for me. I've been ignored, so I want to get your attention."

"Are you a child? You need to get my attention. I was watching you and Zhu Yinyin when you were having dinner, and I didn't see any acting or reluctance on your part. Instead, you seemed very happy and enjoying yourself. So at that time, I was wondering if you really had fallen in love with someone else. And you kept emphasizing that you and Zhu Yinyin were innocent. That was only physical innocence, you just didn't have sex, but your mind had already gone astray. You accepted the kindness of a member of the opposite sex and enjoyed the ambiguous process, which is also not innocent!"

“No, I was really, really wrong.”

"What happened has happened. I am devastated and regretful about the breakup of our relationship. It's a pity that the Rong Zixuan who fought so hard to protect me is now dead. The Rong Zixuan now feels like a stranger!"

"You really don't want to give me another chance?"

"What's the use of having more opportunities? If there's one, there's another. How can you guarantee there won't be a next time? If you meet someone younger and prettier than me, or even Zhu Yinyin, can you guarantee you won't do the same thing? After all, I'm still young, but when you meet Zhu Yinyin, who's prettier than me, you've already wavered."

"I told you that I was just being angry to piss you off. It wasn't my real intention!" Rong Zixuan roared on the other end of the phone.

"Come on, we have been arguing for a while now, and you always say that it was not what I saw, not what I imagined. But is it not what I thought, or is it that you refuse to accept reality? You will only cherish something after you lose it. When you have the chance to cherish it when you get it, why did you give up? Do you decide that you are charming enough to conquer two women at the same time? Or do you think I am a fool, a love-brained person, and can tolerate you cheating outside? Rong Zixuan! We are all adults, don't be so childish, okay!" After that, Rong Zixuan fell silent and did not respond, so I hung up the phone.
