Chapter 518 Xia Junan extra [17]
The school's Xiyuan Restaurant is the most refined and clean of the several restaurants. It has a wide variety of dishes, but the average price is not expensive, so it is very popular among students.
Xia Junan seldom came to this restaurant to eat before, because compared with other restaurants where a vegetarian meal only cost three yuan, a bowl of snail noodles at more than ten yuan was still too cost-effective for him.
But after Jiang Ting came to school, he brought Jiang Ting here to eat many times. Except for the time when they went out to eat, they basically ate in this restaurant.
Every time, Xia Junan only ordered a basic version of egg-filled pancake, which cost six yuan. For a boy in a military academy, it was actually not enough to fill him up.
Every time he finished eating with Jiang Ting and sent her to the dormitory, he would go to a cheap restaurant, order half a vegetarian dish and two steamed buns, and spend two dollars and fifty cents to fill his stomach.
He never told Jiang Ting about these things. He just didn't want to make Jiang Ting feel wronged, not because he wanted Jiang Ting to feel grateful or guilty for his efforts.
He just wanted to be nice to her within his ability.
He knew how much she, a girl, had sacrificed to give up everything and come here to be with him. He felt distressed, pity for her, happy, and guilty.
Xia Junan stood in the newly opened Malatang restaurant, silently picked up the transparent basin and tongs, and put various foods into the basin.
They were all Jiang Ting's favorite foods, lotus root slices, potato chips, squid, beef rolls, fish roe lucky bags, crab sticks, fried eggs, and fried dough sticks.
He selected according to Jiang Ting's usual appetite and handed it to the cashier, "Mildly spicy, tomato soup base."
This is what Jiang Ting often orders when she eats spicy hot pot.
The cashier weighed it and said, "Handsome, total is twenty-nine, swipe card or scan code?"
Xia Junan took out his meal card and swiped it on the sensor next to him.
Then he sat down in the corner.
When Jiang Ting arrived, the spicy hotpot had just been prepared. Xia Junan brought it to her, then stood up to get Xiaowan and a spoon for her, and put some in Xiaowan to cool it before handing it to her, saying, "Eat it."
Jiang Ting's heart was in turmoil, and she looked at him anxiously, "Brother Jun'an, what's wrong with you?"
She tried hard to pretend that she knew nothing, still looking innocent and lovely as usual. Xia Junan looked at her deeply, and said after a while, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Eat first."
When Jiang Ting heard this, she felt a little proud. She knew that Xia Junan would not really blame her. He knew that she had lied to him, but he still thought about the fact that she hadn't eaten yet and let her eat first.
With a clear mind, Jiang Ting did not ask any more questions, but asked Xia Junan, "Brother Junan, are you just watching me eat? Aren't you hungry?"
Xia Junan shook his head and forced a smile, "I ate some on the way back, I'm not hungry."
Jiang Ting nodded and lowered her head to eat quietly.
The way she eats is also very cute. She eats in small bites and it is very difficult for her to eat. Sometimes when she eats something delicious, she will greedily take a few more bites. When she stuffs too much in her mouth, her cheeks will bulge out like a little hamster.
Xia Junan felt like crying.
Just then, his cell phone rang and a new email came into his mailbox.
Sister Yansang sent me a file of two megabytes in size, titled “Investigation on Jiang Ting’s Situation in the Past Three Years.”
His heart suddenly tightened. With such a large file, he realized something...
With trembling fingers, he opened the file.
Then he saw what had happened to his girl in those three years.
In her first year of high school, before she met him, she was secretly dating the top-ranked boy in her class. She used the boy's meal card to eat out and spent more than three thousand yuan on him in half a year.
Then, Jiang's father suddenly fell ill and the family was short of money. She found an online friend who wanted to buy New Year's Eve sex on an online forum. The other party was a otaku in his thirties. He paid her 16,000 yuan, and she sold her virginity to him.
Afterwards, in order to make quick money, she went to work in a high-end bar. Because she looked innocent, although she did not perform, she was ordered many times, which aroused the jealousy of other girls. Later, she ran into Qin Kang's gun and was bullied and insulted, and a video of his prank was taken.
Then, she met herself.
After he learned about her family situation, he took the initiative to ask Sister Yansang for help and helped her solve the problem.
After returning to school, Jiang Ting broke up with the boy who ranked first in the class and got closer and closer to him. They fell in love with each other and their relationship reached a certain level. He and Jiang Ting agreed that they would confirm their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend after she finished the college entrance examination.
Later, he was admitted to this military academy through the college entrance examination, and Jiang Ting continued to study in the second year of high school.
During the two years when he was away from school, he never failed to give Jiang Ting living expenses, but Jiang Ting still worked part-time for a few hundred dollars a day and met a man named Jiang Tong.
They fell in love, they had sex, they frequently checked into hotels, Jiang Ting became pregnant, and had an abortion.
Xia Junan's eyes gradually turned red as he stared at the two words "Jiang Tong" on the document.
It turned out that the Jiang Tong who called that day was this Jiang Tong.
But he thought that person was Jiang Ting's relative and wanted to leave a good impression on her.
How stupid.
Later, Jiang Tong became addicted to online gambling. Jiang Ting broke off contact with him and prepared for the college entrance examination. During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, Jiang Tong threatened Jiang Ting with past entanglements and asked for money.
Jiang Ting has given him tens of thousands of dollars in total.
The 18,000 yuan that I took from him last time and the 100,000 yuan that I cheated him out of this time were all money for Jiang Tong.
This information filled in the missing part of his understanding of Jiang Ting and presented a complete Jiang Ting to him.
Xia Junan read very slowly. After finishing, he closed the file and never dared to open it to take another look.
It turns out that the person he likes is this kind of person.
She is pure, kind, lively and cute.
She is snobbish, vain, selfish, profit-driven and narrow-minded.
The information said that the student who was top of the class when she first started dating, after she broke up with him, his grades plummeted and he only passed the second-tier line in the college entrance examination and chose to repeat his senior year.
Jiang Ting put down her chopsticks, looked at the half-full spicy hotpot left in the bowl, pouted at Xia Junan, and said pitifully, "Brother Junan, I can't eat anymore, what should I do?"
Xia Junan looked at her with a soft look in his eyes, as if he was looking at her, and as if he was looking at her past self through her. He smiled for the first time today, a little unreal, and his voice was as gentle as always, "I'm really not hungry. You don't have to deliberately eat only a little to leave it for me."
Jiang Ting was secretly delighted, for she knew that Xia Junan would definitely see her good intentions.
She still stubbornly pushed the remaining half bowl of spicy hot pot in front of Xia Junan, and said sensibly, "Brother Junan, although I don't know what trouble you've encountered, but people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. You can't live without food, so eat a little."
Xia Junan looked at the spicy hot pot in front of him and sighed softly.
Finally...it's time to face it.
He didn't eat the spicy hot pot that Jiang Ting saved for him. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ting and said softly, "Aunt Jiang doesn't have a heart disease, right?"
Jiang Ting's eyes flashed with panic, but then she returned to normal. She lowered her head and said guiltily, "I knew that this matter could not be concealed, but I didn't expect you to know it so soon. Yes, brother Jun'an, my mother does not have a heart disease and does not need surgery. The reason why I want to borrow 100,000 yuan from your sister is because... I am in trouble."
Xia Junan asked, "What's the trouble?"
Jiang Ting was about to cry, "I... became addicted to online gambling some time ago. I don't know why I became addicted to it. I felt like I was crazy and borrowed a lot of money. Brother Jun'an, I know I was wrong. I borrowed money this time just to stop and never touch those things again."
Xia Junan felt a deep sense of disappointment.
He was even a little bit expectant just now, expecting Jiang Ting to tell him the truth.
But she didn't even bother to tell the truth.
He knew all her shortcomings, but she still tried to deceive him.
Xia Junan closed his eyes and whispered, "Jiang Ting, let's break up."
His heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, it was the sound of his young and ignorant love relationship being completely shattered.
Jiang Ting couldn't believe her ears and subconsciously asked, "Break up? Why break up? Brother Jun'an, just because I owe you 100,000 yuan, you don't want me anymore? Have you forgotten that I gave up everything and came to this school, all for you, how could you do this to me..."
Xia Junan originally thought that some things were enough for two people to know each other secretly, and there was no need to talk about them openly. After all, they were in love, and he didn't want to end up like enemies.
But Jiang Ting obviously didn't want to separate in a decent way.
Even at this time, she still brought up the matter of coming to the military academy for him.
"You came to the military academy partly for me and partly for the Fu family behind me. You should know better than me." Xia Jun'an laughed at himself, "Jiang Ting, let's part ways in peace. Let's end it here."
His last words were almost a plea.
But Jiang Ting didn't understand his good intentions at all, and immediately said angrily, "I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person, Brother Jun'an, am I not as good as the 100,000 yuan in your eyes?"
"In my heart, you are much more precious than 100,000 yuan." Xia Jun'an looked at her with red eyes, no longer caring about her face, and growled, "But you want that 100,000 yuan to give it to Jiang Tong!"
Jiang Ting's body froze, her face clearly showing panic, "Brother Jun'an, you...how do you know Jiang Tong? Did he say anything to you? Don't believe him, believe me, there's nothing between him and me!"
"You dated for two years and beat up a child. Is that nothing?" Xia Junan looked at Jiang Ting with a broken heart. "When you started your freshman year, you were already with the top student in your class. Then your father got seriously ill and you auctioned off your New Year's Eve online. Then you met me and immediately broke up with that boy in your class... Do you think these things are nothing?"
Jiang Ting's face was pale. Jiang Tong didn't even know so much about her, but Xia Jun'an knew. There was only one possibility, "You...you investigated me? Just because I asked you for 100,000 yuan, you asked your sister to investigate me. You don't even have the most basic trust in me..."
Xia Junan didn't understand why she could still say the word "trust" at this point.
"There has been no trust between us since the beginning." Xia Jun'an smiled bitterly, his eyes saddened, "Let's just leave it at that, Jiang Ting, I'm sorry for pretending to love me during this period of time. I hope that in the future...everything will go as you wish."
He stood up, turned around and was about to leave.
Jiang Ting also stood up and grabbed his arm, begging in a tearful voice, "Brother Jun'an, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't leave me, can you give me another chance? I really love you, I can't live without you!"
Xia Junan's hands were shaking and his heart was bleeding. For a moment, he almost turned around and hugged Jiang Ting. He even felt that he didn't care about those things. As long as he could be with her, as long as she admitted her mistakes and as long as things were fine in the future, he could forget about the past.
But these thoughts only lasted for a second, and he calmed down again.
If all his feelings were built on deception, how could he guarantee that there would be no more deception in the future? He knew clearly that the Jiang Ting he fell in love with was a fake Jiang Ting, a persona she deliberately created in front of him. How could love without a foothold be considered love?
He just couldn't bear to let go, but it didn't matter. Sister Yansang said that everyone would be reluctant to say goodbye to the past. How many people could face it calmly? It didn't matter if you were reluctant or heartbroken, as long as you chose to end it when it was time to end it.
This was the wrong relationship, the wrong person, the wrong path.
He must not continue doing something he knows is wrong.
He closed his eyes, turned his back to Jiang Ting, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye. He listened to Jiang Ting's crying, not knowing whether it was real or fake, and said after a while, "Don't do this, it's meaningless."
Then, he gently but firmly pushed Jiang Ting's hand away and left without hesitation.
Jiang Ting looked at his back in disbelief. She had never thought that Xia Junan would break up with her so decisively. Didn't he love her very much? He treated her so well, even better than a dog, and he agreed to all her requests. Why did he leave so easily?
She had already begged him for forgiveness, why did he leave so heartlessly?
Was it because he was angry? Of course he was angry because of her deception. Of course he said something so ruthless.
As long as she sticks to him and pesters him, he will definitely come back to her.
Jiang Ting was very confident in herself. She was sure that she had Xia Junan in her control. As long as she took the initiative, Xia Junan would definitely come back.
In the next few days, Jiang Ting called Xia Junan from time to time, and even went to the bottom of Xia Junan's dormitory building to wait for him, but he never answered her calls. When he saw her downstairs of the dormitory building, he walked straight over without looking at her.
Jiang Ting was unwilling to give up, so she chased after him and hugged him, but he pushed her away.
Once, twice, so many times that Jiang Ting felt numb.
She didn't believe that Xia Junan gave up on her so easily. When she couldn't find him downstairs of Xia Junan's dormitory, she ran to the student union office to look for him.
But he was seen standing with Zhao Minmin, talking and laughing. Someone nearby joked and asked, "Senior, when will you give our senior sister Minmin a status?"
