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

Song Lingge shook her head. "His real purpose was to target me. You were just an excuse he made up."

"This guy is disgusting. I should have beaten him up more back then." Jing Chu spat. Fang Guanghua is no man at all.

If I had known he liked to play dirty tricks, I should have done as he pleased and beaten him so badly he couldn't get out of bed.

Song Lingge glanced at Jing Chu sideways; he had no idea what storms he was about to face!

Noticing Song Lingge's gaze, Jing Chu scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile, "It's not that I'm being aggressive, it's just that Fang Guanghua is too annoying."

Although Song Lingge strongly agreed with this view, Jing Chu was already arrogant enough, and there was no need to go along with him and encourage his arrogance at this time.

"What do you plan to do if Fang Guanghua causes you trouble?"

Jing Chu glanced at Song Lingge with a mocking look: "Didn't you just say that his real purpose was to target you, so why should I be worried?"

This doesn't sound like typical of people from Jingchu; it seems there's a master behind this.

Song Lingge laughed and teased, "Even if he came for me, I wasn't the one who made the move, so I don't need to care. I can just watch the show."

Jing Chu looked like he'd been hit where it hurt, and kept saying "Hey!" several times: "Song Lingge, that's not very kind of you! Don't you even think about who I'm standing up for?"

"Oh?" Song Lingge looked at him thoughtfully: "Then who are you standing up for?"

"What do you mean?" Jing Chu suddenly became as if facing a formidable enemy, abandoning his usual carefree demeanor.

Song Lingge glanced around, a mysterious smile appearing on her face, before looking into the distance.

Actually, some things were just her guesses.

"Yesterday, Fang Guanghua didn't actually do anything too outrageous; I was perfectly capable of handling it..."

"What exactly do you mean?" Jing Chu frowned, looking very uneasy.

"Do I need to make myself clearer? Nansheng asked you to protect me. If he finds out this is how you protect me, what do you think he'll think?"

Upon hearing Qiao Nansheng's name, Jing Chu guiltily turned her head away.

"When did you start dating Li Meimei?" Song Lingge asked.

"What?" Jing Chu's face immediately turned flustered. This was a secret he had kept hidden deep in his heart, one that even Qiao Nansheng did not know.

When was Song Lingge discovered?

Several birds were startled from the bushes, and the traces of those birds mirrored the current state of panic in Jingchu.

“Jiang Yize just came to see me, and he made a very good point. Fang Guanghua was drunk last night and talked nonsense while intoxicated. Plus, there were so many people around, so he couldn’t have caused me any real harm. But you were so impulsive and suddenly rushed at me.”

At this point, Song Lingge looked directly at Jing Chu, her eyes filled with inquiry.

Jing Chu averted her gaze, but still stubbornly insisted, "You and Nan Sheng are boyfriend and girlfriend, and Fang Guanghua even confessed his feelings to you. I couldn't stand it, so I stood up for Nan Sheng and taught him a lesson. What's wrong with that?"

"Don't bring up Nan Sheng for everything," Song Lingge yelled.

Jing Chu was stubborn, but she could slowly pry him open. However, Jing Chu couldn't always use Qiao Nansheng as a shield.

Song Lingge rolled her eyes at him and continued speaking, but her tone was even colder.

"If I weren't absolutely certain, would I have avoided everyone else to come find you?"

Jing Chu sighed; he didn't want to cause trouble with Song Lingge.

It wasn't just for Qiao Nansheng; he considered himself to have become good friends with Song Lingge during their time together.

However, some things are his private matters, and there's no need to reveal everything.

"How did you find out?" Jing Chu asked.

Since they asked that question, it means Song Lingge's guess is true.

Does Jingchu like Li Meimei?

It was too unbelievable; even though Song Lingge said it, she still couldn't believe it.

"You suddenly rushed up there not because Fang Guanghua confessed his feelings to me. If that were the case, you would have acted long ago. Why wait until the end? Your anger stems from Fang Guanghua's slander of Li Meimei, right?"

When someone bluntly exposed his secrets, Jing Chu didn't feel the shame and anger one might expect. Instead, he felt more at ease and relaxed.

This was a secret that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time.

He had no way to express it; everything could only be buried deep in his heart.

My first crush on someone became an unspeakable secret.

That fondness seems to have become a sin.

Therefore, he could only keep it bottled up inside, unable to reveal even a hint to his best friend.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause you trouble. I just think that Li Meimei has sacrificed so much for Fang Guanghua, and Fang Guanghua is the least qualified person in the world to slander her. She's just a stupid woman who fell for a scumbag."

Jingchu said Li Meimei was a stupid woman, but wasn't he also a stupid man?

Having lived through two lifetimes, Song Lingge understands all too well the impact of a healthy relationship on a person.

To love someone is not just about loving them; it's about loving someone who is good to you, not just someone who is good to you.

Everyone wants favoritism and exceptions.

However, crossing the line can easily escalate into paranoia and accidents.

Li Meimei is like this, Fang Guanghua is like this, and Song Lingge does not want Jingchu to be like this either.

"When did it start?" Song Lingge asked.

Jing Chu was momentarily stunned and looked at Song Lingge with a puzzled expression.

So Song Lingge patiently asked again, "I'm asking when you started liking Li Meimei."

"Do you still remember last year's freshman welcome dance?" A blush could still be seen on Jing Chu's dark face.

"At that dance, we changed partners; you went with Nansheng, and I went with Li Meimei. She danced so beautifully that night, so beautifully..."

How can you not remember?

Song Lingge couldn't remember how beautifully Li Meimei danced; perhaps the only one she remembered vividly was Jing Chu.

Song Lingge remembered it because it was the first time she and Qiao Nansheng had been in close proximity.

So it seems that Li Meimei and Qiao Nansheng switched partners. According to Jing Chu's intentions, after that switch, Li Meimei and Jing Chu should have been together as dance partners.

It turns out that Jing Chu wasn't entirely acting as a matchmaker for Qiao Nansheng that time.

Unwittingly, he got himself involved as well.

It's such a poignant story.

It brought together a loving couple, but also led to several ill-fated marriages.

Fortunately, not much time has passed, and it's unknown how deeply Jingchu has fallen into this predicament.

"No matter how beautiful you are, it has nothing to do with you anymore." Song Lingge's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Jing Chu from head to toe.

Jing Chu's expression wasn't exactly ugly, but it looked rather comical.

The first person you liked, once exposed, seemed to become a stain on your life—that's how it felt.

"And now? Do you still have feelings for Li Meimei?"
