Chapter 1685: Forced to Break Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Do you need me to call our parents over and ask my family to issue a certificate to prove that Zhou Xing is our cousin? Since when did we have to prove our family background, ancestors, and all our family relations when coming to university? Do you have that privilege, or do we have an obligation to do so?”
Was it normal for cousins to spend time together alone? Of course! Nowadays, families had fewer children, so it was normal for children to address their cousins as elder sisters or brothers. The line between cousins and siblings was not so clear-cut anymore.
Even so, they were still relatives!
Since they were relatives, the younger sister was simply sending soup over to her two elder brothers to thank them for their concern. Was it normal? Of course! Even though Zhou Xing was still young, she was only young in age. She was actually very mature. Because she felt immensely grateful toward Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin, she wanted to do a little something to express her gratitude toward her two elder brothers.
It was such a pure and innocent kinship. What was the problem? What went wrong?
The moralist girl’s cheeks were flushed and were as red as a pig’s liver. “No, that’s not necessary.” This was a family matter between Zhou Xing and the Zhai family. They had no obligation to report the matter to outsiders. More importantly, Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were not even students from their school. Even if the two brothers had wanted to report the matter to the people in the girls’ school, the brothers would have had no chance at all. The students of PLA National Defense University were outstanding and extremely busy with both their academic workload and training. She knew all that.
The problem was that Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin might not have had the time to explain the relationship between the three of them, but Zhou Xing did have the time and opportunity to do so.
At this moment, the girl finally came back to her senses. “That’s not right, Zhou Xing. Didn’t you tell us that Zhai Xin was your boyfriend? How did your boyfriend become your cousin?” Zhou Xing had been the one to say that Zhai Xin was not only her boyfriend but had gone missing on purpose so that she could not contact him. This was why she was in tears about Zhai Xin’s attitude toward her.
If it was not for Zhou Xing’s words, they would not have come all the way to PLA National Defense University in anger to seek justice for Zhou Xing. If they had known that Zhou Xing was Zhai Xin’s cousin, they would have found nothing wrong with Zhai Xin busying himself with his studies or even spending time with other girls. Did Zhou Xing really expect Zhai Xin to give up his rights to a girlfriend just because Zhou Xing wanted Zhai Xin to take care of her as an elder brother?
Was this not just pure nonsense?
Most importantly, she was sure that Zhou Xing had always told them that Zhai Xin was her boyfriend, not her brother. If she had known that Zhai Xin was Zhou Xing’s elder brother, she would never have come to PLA National Defense University and embarrassed herself in front of all these handsome guys from PLA National Defense University.
How could there be such pure and simple moralists in this world? This girl was also a female, after all, and had heard about how brilliant Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were. It was just that Zhai Xin had already gotten together with Zhou Xing and was already her classmate’s boyfriend. She was unwilling to be the third party, and thus, she naturally did not try to interfere. But who would have known that she would have a chance to show herself to this Prince Charming, Zhai Yi, because of Zhou Xing’s incident? What’s more, she would even be able to express her strong sense of righteousness and justice, which was sure to make Zhai Yi have a deep impression of her.
The girl had heard about Zhai Yi’s family background and knew that the Zhai family members were all righteous and just. As long as she expressed her sense of righteousness, it would leave a positive impression on Zhai Yi. But Zhai Yi’s initial stubbornness and inability to tell right from wrong shocked the girl.
Best of all, there was nothing that was most shocking. There was only something even more shocking. The so-called couple only had a sibling relationship between them!
What the hell? She had just embarrassed herself in front of her Prince Charming!
Thinking about this, the girl’s tone was tinged with blame and disapproval when she questioned Zhou Xing. This was all Zhou Xing’s fault. If Zhou Xing had not misled her by lying that Zhai Xin was her boyfriend, and if she had known that Zhou Xing had such a familial relationship with Zhai Xin, she would never have done something so foolish.
She had also been wondering how such an intelligent person like Zhai Yi, who was even a top scholar, would choose to behave so unconventionally against all logic and push all the blame to Zhou Xing alone.
“Zhou Xing, be honest with us. Are you actually cousins with Zhai Xin, or are you guys in a romantic relationship? Don’t think that we’ll believe everything you say and that we won’t be able to find out the truth. Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin are both from the capital, so their mom is probably in the capital too. Didn’t you say that their mom came to visit them a few days ago? Don’t force us to do it.”
Feeling that they might have been taken for a ride, the expressions of many people’s faces changed, especially the girl who had been the most agitated. She had wanted to show off her sense of righteousness to her Prince Charming, not leave the impression that she was a fool who was even more foolish than a pig!
If Zhou Xing did not give her a reasonable explanation, Zhou Xing should just wait and see how she would gang up with the other students in school to deal with Zhou Xing! She had all reason to believe that there were many girls who were waiting to deal with Zhou Xing because of this matter. After Zhai Xin became Zhou Xing’s boyfriend, it was not just the girls in PLA National Defense University who went into mourning. Even girls from their art school had secretly cried under their covers.
It was too shameless to have advertised a sibling relationship as a romantic relationship. Because of Zhou Xing’s deliberately vague words, they had all misunderstood their two Prince Charmings. Zhou Xing had to bear the responsibility for this matter.
Zhou Xing’s face was covered in tears, and she looked pitifully at the girl with those doe eyes of hers, hoping that the girl would not try to pursue the matter any further at the moment. She would explain the matter fully once they got back to their university. As long as Zhai Yi was not around, the truth was whatever she said.
After this time, she would never be so foolish as to bring so many people to find Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin. The only one at a disadvantage was her. Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin had nothing to worry about and would be completely released from their predicament.
“What do you mean by this? Why are you looking at me? Do you still want to continue with your lies?” Yes, the girl had started to use the word ‘lies’. “Did you really treat your brother, Zhai Xin, as a boyfriend?”
What did she mean by treating him as a boyfriend? Just a few days ago, Zhai Xin was indeed her boyfriend, and she was Zhai Xin’s real girlfriend! It was Qiao Nan’s appearance that had ruined their relationship, forcing them to break up.
