Chapter 66: Trust
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huang Yue’s ability to tolerate her after such a serious matter occurred only fueled Wen Nian’s curiosity about the schemes she had in mind.
In all seriousness, she played along with Huang Yue’s act and said, “I hope you won’t act impulsively again. We’ve been classmates for over a year now, and given our past relationship, I’m willing to forgive you. However, if you had accused a total stranger, they may demand that you pay them for the emotional distress.”
She had been disfigured and sprained her ankle, yet she was the one being blamed?
Observing Wen Nian’s continued pretense of obedience despite taking advantage of her, Huang Yue had to put in a great deal of effort to suppress her anger and force a smile. “Okay, it’s been a while since we left school together. Let’s go out for dinner tonight after class. I promised to treat you for the school anniversary.”
Wen Nian looked at Huang Yue regretfully. “Huang Yue, I have to ask my deskmate questions after school. I can’t go with you.”
Huang Yue quickly smiled and said, “It’s alright. I’ll wait for you. You can’t make me go back on my word.”
After seeing this, Wen Nian no longer refused. “Alright, since you’ve already insisted so much, it would be impolite of me to keep saying no.”
…..
After chatting and laughing, the two of them reached an agreement, and Wen Nian returned to her seat with a smile.
Although Huang Yue’s incident had occurred backstage, it caused a lot of commotion. Someone had posted about it on the school’s internet, but it was still deemed an accident.
Shen Jun had also heard about the incident. He glanced at Wen Nian, who was in a good mood, and teased softly, “Judging by your smile, it seems someone is going to suffer.”
Wen Nian’s smile froze. She covered her face with her hands and turned to Shen Jun in surprise. “Is it that obvious?”
Shen Jun chuckled. “It’s not that you’re being obvious. I see through you.”
Wen Nian looked at Shen Jun in surprise. When did she become so transparent to him?
Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian’s wide-open eyes and resisted the urge to touch her chin like a rabbit. He used the book in his hand to gently nudge Wen Nian’s head and turned her around to face straight ahead.
Wen Nian only heard Shen Jun’s cold voice. “Don’t worry. Do whatever you want. I promise that no matter what I know you’re planning, no one will hear any news from me that could affect your plan.”
Upon hearing Shen Jun’s guarantee, Wen Nian had no doubts. She thought it might be because he had helped her in Xifeng Court previously, or perhaps it was due to the trust she had developed after spending time with him.
In fact, Wen Nian had also thought about it afterward. If Shen Jun knew that she was not an innocent student at all, but a woman who was always scheming against others and seeking revenge, would he still help her like he was doing now?
Given Shen Jun’s qualifications, he was likely born into an aristocratic family. He had probably read enough schemes and plots to fill a book.
Shen Jun had been one of the people Wen Nian had interacted with for the longest time since her rebirth. It was not strange for Shen Jun to be able to pick up on things about her, but he had never asked out of curiosity. Despite this, Shen Jun never tried to create a distance.
Therefore, Wen Nian didn’t feel that her trust in Shen Jun was inexplicable. She believed that it was because of her gradual understanding of him through their interactions, coupled with her intuition.
After school, Shen Jun left first. Wen Nian packed her bag and walked slowly with Huang Yue.
Huang Yue had sprained her ankle previously, and unfortunately, she had sustained the same injury again this time, making it difficult for her to walk at a normal pace.
She didn’t dare to get close to Wen Nian again. Although she believed that what happened on the night of the school anniversary was an accident, Huang Yue was still cautious and didn’t want to let her guard down.
The two of them made a conscious effort to avoid the Bowl of Noodles Noodle Restaurant and eventually settled on a nearby eatery where they had Hainan coconut chicken.
There were not many people, and the environment was relatively peaceful. This type of restaurant was typically frequented by the working class, so most of the customers were office workers from nearby companies.
After the two of them sat down and placed their orders, Huang Yue began to chat with Wen Nian. “Have you heard about the latest popular movie, Love of the Triangular Plum? It’s been the top box office movie for over a month now! The female lead is actually an amateur actor that the director discovered. And guess what? She reportedly earned a whopping 20 million yuan for the role!” “Oh my god! If you use that 20 million yuan to buy a few houses in an ordinary neighborhood in Hai City, you could earn more than 10,000 yuan a month just by renting them out.. We could even earn money by lying down!”
