Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 73 - Something’s Not Good

73: Chapter 73 Something’s Not Good

73 -73 Something’s Not Good

Looking at Feng Jin’s displeased expression all the way, after all, it was a loss of face for any man, anyone would be unable to bear such humiliation.

Gu Fan offered to buy Feng Jin a milk tea.

Feng Jin didn’t respond, so Gu Fan assumed he accepted and bought him the milk tea.

Sighing, Feng Jin took the milk tea, staying silent from start to finish, making the atmosphere incredibly awkward.

Gu Fan took a sip first, then said, “I won’t tell anyone about this, and I won’t let Lin Xi talk about it, either.

I won’t let everyone know.”

Hearing this, Feng Jin paused for a moment, then expressed gratitude.

It wasn’t because Gu Fan bought him milk tea; it was because Gu Fan showed understanding, leading Feng Jin to think that Gu Fan wasn’t a bad person.

Gu Fan followed up with another question: “What do you plan to do about this?”

“What else can I do, break up.” Feng Jin answered directly, showing no hint of regret, while Gu Fan showed understanding, “I know, such matters can’t be forgiven.

Anyone would feel the same.

You indeed should break up with Shen Yun.”

Feng Jin looked puzzled, completely unable to understand what Gu Fan was implying, making Gu Fan feel awkward.

Gu Fan decided to be straightforward, “Last time at the movie theater, you were the third party and were beaten up by Shen Yun’s boyfriend.

This time in the movie theater, you were Shen Yun’s boyfriend and were beaten up by the third party.

Both times it happened in a movie theater, it seems a bit coincidental.”

“What do you mean, are you saying that I deserve it?” Feng Jin’s face was filled with anger, he was about to throw his milk tea at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I meant.

I generally don’t believe in superstition, but sometimes I feel that some things are predestined, as if the heavens are reminding us of something.”

Hearing this, Feng Jin squinted his eyes at Gu Fan, as if to say, “What are you really trying to say?”

Gu Fan had no choice but to be more direct: “Actually, a woman like Shen Yun isn’t worth it.

If you can steal her from someone, then someone else can steal her from you.

Perhaps it’s a sign from heaven for you to end this relationship.”

“I see.

You mean that before I was the one snatching others’ girlfriends and making them uncomfortable, now others are snatching my girlfriend, making me uncomfortable.

So, you’re saying I had it coming, reaping what I sowed?” Feng Jin spoke angrily, his eyes nearly bulging out.

He was about to storm out.

Gu Fan forced a laugh, “When they hit you, they thought they were Shen Yun’s boyfriend and that you were the third party.

This was Shen Yun’s fault, not yours.

But what about before?

You knew Shen Yun had a boyfriend, yet you intervened, knowing full well you were the third party.

Why, really liked Shen Yun?”

At this, Feng Jin shook his head: “No, I don’t like Shen Yun that much.”

Gu Fan was instantly puzzled, “Then why?

In my opinion, unless you really like someone, so much so that even if you know they have a boyfriend and that being the third party is wrong, you still go after them.” fгeewebnovёl.com

Feng Jin gave a self-deprecating smile, then said, “Gu Fan, everyone has a different view of love.

Some people want to find someone they truly like, and some just seize any opportunity to start a relationship.”

“Oh, I see.” Gu Fan nodded, showing understanding, and then asked, “But since Shen Yun had a boyfriend, there should have been no opportunity, you intervening…”

“If there is no opportunity, create one.” With that, Feng Jin smiled dismissively.

It seemed that Gu Fan was beginning to understand Feng Jin, so he tentatively asked: “You don’t think that snatching someone else’s girlfriend gives you a sense of accomplishment, do you?”

At this, Feng Jin didn’t respond, but his eyes became cold, as if he was displeased that Gu Fan had hit the nail on the head.

“Gu Fan, actually, everyone can see that Du Jun has always been interested in Lin Xi.

I think you should take care of Lin Xi.” Feng Jin began to retaliate and after saying this, he gave Gu Fan a meaningful look.

Gu Fan appeared calm and replied, “Rest assured, Du Jun has been pursuing Lin Xi secretly for quite some time, but Lin Xi is still with me.

If Du Jun were to succeed, he would have done so already.

I trust Lin Xi.”

Feng Jin disagreed, “It’s too early to say such things.

Lin Xi is still a college student.

Once she steps into society and her pursuit of material wealth becomes greater, if one day she falls into Du Jun’s arms, your belief in love will change.”

Gu Fan shook his head, “When Du Jun was secretly pursuing Lin Xi, he never stopped giving her brand-name handbags, lipsticks, and high-end cosmetics, but Lin Xi rejected them all.

She drew her confidence from herself and not from material possessions.”

Hearing this, Feng Jin couldn’t help but laugh, “It seems everyone can see this, only Du Jun never gives up.

I’ve always looked down on how self-important he is, thinking that having a wealthy family means entitlement to superiority.

It’s pretty rare to see a girl like Lin Xi who can stick with you, a poor boyfriend.

Lin Xi is a great girl.

Such girls are becoming scarce, Gu Fan.

You should really cherish her.”

“Thanks for that, but I’m not exactly dirt poor,” Gu Fan said.

Spotting Feng Jin’s look of deep reflection, especially when discussing Du Jun, he seemed furious.

Gu Fan suddenly had a daring thought, “Did you face a heartbreak in the past, that makes your perspective on love different from mine?

That’s also why you think my perspective on love might change if Lin Xi falls for Du Jun?”

Feng Jin hesitated for a moment then replied with a bitter smile, “That’s right.

I dated a girl in high school who ended up with my best friend.

Then again, after graduating high school, I was in a relationship with another girl, who eventually ran off with a wealthy playboy.

Ever since then, I’ve come to realize why she should choose someone else over me.

Why can’t I do the same thing?”

Gu Fan sighed, “But have you ever thought, if she could be taken away, that means she wasn’t worth it.

You shouldn’t change yourself because of a girl who isn’t worthy.

There are trashy men and women in this world.

We can’t easily discredit everyone just because we encounter a few bad examples or seek revenge.”

“Gu Fan, it’s easier said when it didn’t happen to you,” replied Feng Jin.

He continued, “Many people start off good but end up changing due to unfortunate circumstances or their circle of friends.

Some were not trashy at first but turned to that path after encountering a few trashy ones.”

“I understand what you mean, but not everyone would change after encountering bad people or events.” Gu Fan agreed, “True, some people don’t easily change, but some are easily influenced by their surroundings.

Like me, I’m in the latter category and can’t take your advice.

We’re college students who know nothing, hence can’t give each other valuable advice.” After these words, Feng Jin bids him farewell, “Thanks for the milk tea.

I hope you and Lin Xi will last.”

“I hope so too,” said Gu Fan, watching Feng Jin’s departing figure and thinking about his words, “We’re college students who know nothing and can’t give each other valuable advice.”

At that moment, Gu Fan felt like an absolute fool.

He had the audacity to believe he could give other people good advice, then realized that his advice amounted to nothing in Feng Jin’s eyes.

He even implied that it’s not about listening to advice.

Embarrassing, isn’t it?

Even if it’s the right advice, he would refuse to listen.

What was laughable was the fact that many people believe their advice to be genius and expect others to heed it, oblivious of what others are actually going through or thinking.

Gu Fan didn’t anticipate not only was his advice unwelcome, but he also got some enlightenment from Feng Jin.

He resolved not to consider himself smart, and to stop giving advice to others.

Just then, Lin Xi called, sounding upset.

He guessed she had a falling out with Shen Yun.

He quickly asked for her location and went to console her.

When he arrived, Lin Xi was sulking, her face buried in her arms on the table.

Gu Fan asked, “What happened, beautiful?

Who upset you?”

“It’s Shen Yun.

I kindly advised her to change her behavior and I got a sermon in return.

Are people so ungrateful nowadays?”

Gu Fan comforted, “Maybe it’s because she thinks it’s better this way.

She just doesn’t want to accept your advice as she’d feel inferior, losing her face.

You’re already so pretty which makes others envious, your offering advice struck as condescending to her.

You’ve hurt her pride.”

“Really?” Lin Xi looked confused, then she understood and concurred with Gu Fan.

Seeing Lin Xi cheering up, Gu Fan felt relieved.

As long as Lin Xi was happy, his day would seem better.

Then Gu Fan asked, “Where’s Shen Yun?

If she’s been bullying you, I’ll stand up for you.”

Lin Xi replied, irritated, “She left a long time ago.

Wait for your defense?

No point.

It’s already too late!

What about Feng Jin?”

“Oh him, he thanked me for the milk tea and left after sharing his thoughts.” Saying this, Gu Fan frowned, as if he had thought of something.

Curiously, Lin Xi asked, “What thoughts?

Tell me.

What are you men thinking about?”

Gu Fan signaled her to be silent, his face grave which scared Lin Xi as it’s usually a sign that he’s thought of something dreadful.

“Shen Yun and Feng Jin left in a huff, separately…

That means…” Gu Fan trailed off, causing Lin Xi to break out in cold sweat.
