Chapter 192: Guilty

Shen Jun pondered for a moment, “Wen Nian and I don’t talk much in our daily conversations. We rarely contact each other on WeChat. Whenever she reaches out to me, it’s always about specific matters. We’ve never had casual chats. How could this be considered as someone showing interest in another person? No one would suspect that she likes me if they read our chat history.”

After saying that, Shen Jun immediately opened his chat page with Jiang Chun, but Wen Nian pushed it back without looking.

Upon witnessing Shen Jun’s attitude, Wen Nian subtly started feeling a bit uneasy. She believed that she had grasped some clues from tonight’s events, but she couldn’t completely untangle the mess just yet.

Wen Nian’s intuition told her that it would be better not to dwell on this matter for now. After all, from Shen Jun’s perspective, her behavior might seem like an unreasonable fuss.

Suppressing her discontent, she slightly smiled and said, “Alright, you should go home quickly. It’s already half-past nine.”

Shen Jun, observing Wen Nian’s sudden change in attitude, couldn’t help but feel a bit worried and asked, “Do you really believe what I said? Are you not angry anymore?”

Wen Nian nodded affirmatively, “Yes! You should hurry and leave.”

Shen Jun didn’t perceive any other emotions on Wen Nian’s face, so he felt relieved and left.

Shortly after Shen Jun arrived home, he received a message from Jiang Chun.

Jiang Chun: “Did Wen Nian misunderstand my grandmother’s intentions? I feel like she’s a bit upset.”

Shen Jun: “No, don’t overthink it.”

Jiang Chun: “Really? She didn’t get mad at you?”

Shen Jun believed that the matters between him and Wen Nian were personal affairs, and even if they had an unpleasant experience, there was no need to share it with others. After all, it’s best not to air one’s dirty laundry in public.

Shen Jun: “Really, just stop worrying about it.”

Jiang Chun felt disappointed with this response, but she couldn’t determine whether Shen Jun was just reluctant to tell her or if it was the truth. After thinking for a moment, she sent another message.

Jiang Chun: “That’s good to hear. I’ve been worrying about it, so I decided to message you and ask. Those were all childhood matters, and my grandmother suddenly brought them up. I almost embarrassed myself earlier. If Wen Nian misunderstood, you have to let me know. I’m afraid things might get worse for you if it continues, and I can explain it better to her.”

Shen Jun, seeing Jiang Chun’s attempt to distance herself from the situation, smiled in relief.

Shen Jun replied, “Okay.”

It can be said that Shen Jun’s understanding of romantic relationships is limited, and coupled with Jiang Chun’s skill in disguising her intentions, patiently setting up this situation, everything was just the beginning according to Jiang Chun’s plan.

Shen Jun, being a bit slow in matters of love, still had the image of Jiang Chun from childhood due to nostalgic filters, remembering her as the kind-hearted little girl.

If it had been any other girl with whom Wen Nian was displeased, Shen Jun’s response would have been different. For example, Jin Ting.

Time continued to move forward as usual, and quickly, it was the end of May.

Wen Nian received some good news from Xu Chang.

Xu Chang: “Our film has been edited! I just watched the final version, and 1 can feel it. I can feel that we’ll definitely be able to make a profit this time!”

Xu Chang’s self-demands remained unchanged, consistently low.

Wen Nian smiled and shook her head.

Wen Nian: “1 have a feeling too, it’s definitely going to break even! You really went all out to invite Bai Zheng.”

Xu Chang sent a series of laughing emojis.

Xu Chang: “Absolutely! He can even be a selling point for the film. His fans in the piano community are extremely loyal. It shouldn’t be a problem to attract attention through them.”

Xu Chang: “By the way, has he been feeling down lately? I feel like his recent works have been lacking vitality.”

Wen Nian furrowed her brows slightly upon reading that. Since their parting in the capital, they had been in contact through WeChat and hadn’t met privately.

Wen Nian: “I’m not really sure about that. We didn’t notice anything unusual in our WeChat conversations.”

The two of them chatted for a while more before going about their own business.

After finishing her evening tutoring session, Wen Nian decided to visit Bai Zheng. When she walked downstairs with Shen Jun, she thought about how Shen Jun had injured Bai Zheng to the point of fracturing his bones. Originally, she wanted to tell him the truth, but subconsciously, she concealed it and said, “I’ll go straight home later and won’t go to the noodle shop. You go ahead.”

After saying that, Wen Nian felt extremely guilty and frustrated. She wanted to tell him the truth, but Shen Jun interrupted her.

Shen Jun didn’t pay much attention and didn’t suspect anything. “Alright, ride safely and contact me when you’re home.”

Wen Nian also lost the courage to speak up, nodded slightly, and then went to the bike shed pretending to fetch her bike. She turned her head and stole a glance, only to find that Shen Jun was still standing there. She raised her voice and asked, “Why aren’t you leaving?”

Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian with confusion and replied, “Aren’t we heading in the same direction at the school gate? I’m waiting for you to go together..”
