Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

"When I had this thought, I knew I was overthinking it. Lingge, I've never blamed you, that's the truth."

Yu Shaofen looked earnestly at Song Lingge.

Song Lingge knew she wasn't lying, so she returned the same firm look.

Yu Shaofen continued, "Actually, even if Jing Chu really likes you, I'm not that upset. Because Ling Ge, your excellence is obvious to all, it's understandable that Jing Chu would like someone like you."

Why did we end up going back to the same point again?

Song Lingge didn't believe that the blockhead from Jingchu would like her.

If it were said that Jing Chu liked Qiao Nansheng and had the feeling of seeing her as a wicked mother-in-law or an ex-girlfriend, that would be more accurate.

How can I make Yu Shaofen understand this feeling?

However, before Song Lingge could dwell on it for long, Yu Shaofen's next words shocked her and Zhang Xiuxiu.

"But I slowly realized that I was really overthinking it. Jing Chu's feelings for you are really because of Qiao Nansheng, or because Ling Ge, you are a very worthwhile friend, but it has absolutely nothing to do with love."

That's absolutely right," Song Lingge nodded repeatedly.

However, the light in Yu Shaofen's eyes gradually dimmed, and her tone of voice was no longer so positive and sunny, but filled with sadness.

“Jing Chu is not a typical straight man. On the contrary, he is very sensitive and serious about relationships. Before Nan Sheng and Ling Ge got together, he noticed the subtle sweetness between you two even faster than we did. I don’t believe that someone like him can’t feel my affection.”

After Yu Shaofen's reminder, Song Lingge and Zhang Xiuxiu thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

“I remember that time when we accompanied Lingge to the countryside to rescue her aunt, Jingchu was joking about Lingge and Nansheng, right in front of Song’s mother and aunt. I was terrified.”

Zhang Xiuxiu is so carefree, and you can find several instances of this in the few times you've spent together, let alone Song Lingge.

Song Lingge frowned slightly.

Yu Shaofen continued, "He has someone he likes, but that person isn't me."

Song Lingge and Zhang Xiuxiu both widened their eyes at the same time.

Song Lingge simply felt that Jing Chu might not like Yu Shaofen, so she adopted the usual tricks men use: neither taking the initiative nor refusing, pretending to be ignorant even though she knew the truth.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shaofen's words caused a huge uproar.

Song Lingge never expected that Jing Chu would have someone he liked.

Given Jing Chu's personality, she would have definitely revealed it long ago; even if it was just a secret crush, she would have made it public knowledge.

How could it be hidden so deeply? Even with the memories of two lifetimes, Song Lingge had no idea.

"Jingchu has someone he likes? Are you kidding me?" Song Lingge asked incredulously.

Since Yu Shaofen also mistakenly believed that Jing Chu had once liked Song Lingge, it is possible that she is also making the wrong judgment now.

Even if the possibility is small, what if it happens?

Zhang Xiuxiu chimed in, "Jing Chu doesn't seem to have a girlfriend at all! Besides, he's always with us. If he had other girls, we would have noticed long ago."

Yu Shaofen gave a bitter smile.

Song Lingge belatedly realized that what Yu Shaofen said was very likely true.

Her attention to Jingchu surpassed that of all of them.

She must have discovered many details that they didn't know, and she confirmed it with Jing Chu last night, which is why she dared to say it so confidently today.

"You talked to Jing Chu last night, did he tell you?" Song Lingge asked.

Yu Shaofen nodded, then suddenly shook her head.

Zhang Xiuxiu, being impatient, hurriedly asked, "What exactly do you mean? Did he say it or not?"

He said he had someone in his heart, but they could never be together.

As expected, Yu Shaofen is not one to speak carelessly.

She must have sensed Jing Chu's secret, which is why she was so determined to try, even if it meant certain death.

The moment you get the answer, you may feel sad and heartbroken, but it's better to have a short pain than a long one.

Yu Shaofen's willingness to tell them this must mean she had thought about it all night and had figured it out.

Thinking of how she had endured so much suffering alone for so long, Song Lingge felt heartbroken for her from the bottom of her heart.

So she reached out and hugged Yu Shaofen tightly.

A warm embrace from a good friend can mend Shaofen's broken heart.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuxiu pulled Song Lingge and Yu Shaofen into her arms.

Yu Shaofen's candid remarks shocked Song Lingge and also made her question the person Jing Chu liked.

She had never heard Qiao Nansheng mention it. Even Yu Shaofen, who was from the same hometown as Jing Chu, only knew that Jing Chu had someone in her heart, but she never guessed who that person was.

Jingchu has kept its secrets too well.

After comforting Yu Shaofen, the three girls found themselves getting hungry as they poured out their hearts to each other.

So the three of them got ready and decided to go out for a nice meal.

“It’s Monday today, so there shouldn’t be many customers at noon. I’ll ask my aunt to cook a few of her signature dishes, and we can have a nice meal,” Song Lingge suggested.

"We will follow Boss Song's arrangements!" Yu Shaofen and Zhang Xiuxiu said in unison.

Yu Shaofen has regained her usual cheerful and lively self, and it feels so good!

Men are all heartless bastards, Song Lingge decided to confront Qiao Nansheng about this matter.

"Delicious Songxiang".

It was past lunchtime, and there were no other customers in the restaurant.

Aunt Lu was knitting a sweater at the front desk, while Xiao Jiang and Lao Zhang each found a spot and put together a few chairs to take a nap.

"Aunt Lu, where is Auntie?" Song Lingge asked softly, while telling Yu Shaofen and Zhang Xiuxiu to find an empty table to sit down.

Aunt Lu gestured towards the kitchen.

Song Lingge smiled helplessly and walked towards the kitchen.

Unlike the quiet front hall, the kitchen was bustling with activity.

Song Jianmei was still tossing the wok.

Song Lingge stood a little distance away from her and waited until she finished cooking the dish before calling out "Auntie".

Song Jianmei finished setting the plates before noticing her: "Lingge? Have you eaten yet?"

Song Lingge rubbed her stomach: "I've already eaten, but I'm hungry again."

Song Jianmei picked up the plate and handed it to her, saying affectionately, "That's perfect, try this new dish."

"Xiuxiu and Shaofen are also outside."

"Are they hungry too?"

Song Lingge nodded, and Song Jianmei started cooking again, saying with a smile, "Then I'll cook a few more of my signature dishes. You can take them out first and eat while you wait!"

"No need to be polite with your aunt," Song Lingge said happily as she carried the plate out of the kitchen.

So as not to disturb those who were resting, the girls remained polite and quietly enjoyed their food.

They were genuinely hungry from talking.

"Song Lingge, you're here too?"

Song Lingge looked up and saw that it was Jiang Yize. He must have come to return the money.

Fang Guanghua treated everyone to a meal, and he paid the final bill—how interesting!
