nAlthough she used irrefutable arguments to dismiss Bo He's suspicions then, she still had deep doubts in her heart.

nWhen He Jichen called the dorm room, she was right next to him. Bo He and Tang Huahua were also with her, so was he looking for Ji Yi?

nAt times, a woman's intuition is really accurate.

nShe had to admit, when she invited He Jichen out that weekend, she deliberately told He Jichen that Ji Yi was going to the hot springs too.

nSo when she unexpectedly saw He Jichen at the Peony Pavilion, she finally understood.

nHe Jichen wasn't into her. He obviously wasn't drunk in love with her, but Ji Yi.

nAnd for over a month now, I've been foolishly used as a pawn.

nHow could I just take that? How could I?

nYet she didn't want to lose face in front of He Jichen, so she plotted to ruin Ji Yi. She wanted Bo He and Tang Huahua to look down on her, and she wanted He Jichen to think she was a sly, calculative woman... so she put on that show tonight.

nLin Ya prepared well in advance for that night. She had been full of confidence, but she never imagined that Ji Yi would have a recording device on her.

nIn the end, she hadn't ruined her target but ruined herself. Bo He and Huahua definitely looked down on her now, and as for He Jichen...

nAt that thought, Lin Ya's fingers trembled. She carefully raised her head and looked up at He Jichen.

nHe was bending down to pick up her bag...

nIn that very moment, a sliver of hope surfaced Lin Ya's ashen heart. If he's doing this, does that mean he forgives me?

n

"He Dage, I...

"

nBefore Lin Ya could finish, He Jichen straightened up, raised his hand and threw the bag at her face.

nWith that, an immense pain pierced Lin Ya's heart. Her heart was instantly shattered.

nHe wasn't helping me pick up my bag; he was giving me a taste of my own medicine by throwing the bag I just hurled at Ji Yi!

nTears instantly filled Lin Ya's eyes. She turned her head and looked at He Jichen as she said, a little choked up,

"He Da...

"

nShe only managed to get those two words out before He Jichen took a step back into his room. It was as though he wasn't willing to waste any more time with her. He slammed the door right in her face.

n-

nAfter their fight, Ji Yi wasn't in the mood to spend the rest of the weekend at the hot spring resort, so the next morning, she sent Li Da, Bo He, and Tang Huahua each a text. She gave a weak excuse and returned home, back to the city.

nJi Yi didn't go back to school dorms that night since she only had class the next morning. When she returned to school, she went straight to the classroom.

nLin Ya never showed up, even after the bell rang for class.

nAfter class, when Bo He and Tang Huahua looked for Ji Yi to talk, Ji Yi learned that Lin Ya didn't come back to the dorm room last night either.

nIn the following days, no matter in the classroom or the dorms, Lin Ya was nowhere to be found.

nWhen the three of them—Ji Yi, Bo He, and Tanghuahua—finished class and went back to their dorm on Friday, Tang Huahua was just about to pull out her keys to unlock the door when someone from inside pulled the door open.

nIt was Lin Ya, who they hadn't seen for a few days. She emerged from the room with a suitcase and walked out.
