The milk tea shop was even more popular than usual because of the promotion. The shouts of the surrounding staff and the noisy crowd made Su Jinning feel...
He seems to have messed things up again, and he's looking for a quieter place.
"Tsk, it's so damn noisy." Su Jinning rubbed her temples, unsure how to begin what she wanted to say.
"You still know how to make noise?" Shen Moyu took a sip of milk tea. If you're going to make noise, why are you here? He rolled his eyes, his gaze then wandering among the crowd outside the window.
Su Jinning licked her lips and simply sat down next to Shen Moyu with her milk tea in hand.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Shen Moyu was startled and instinctively moved closer to the window.
Su Jinning looked at him with a puzzled expression, and said with a hint of disdain for his affectation, "No, big brother, we've already slept together, what's wrong with me sitting next to you?"
…………
"Oh no! I mean... well, that day, I drank too much and we slept in the same bed, so even if we slept together... no, that's not what I meant..."
"Okay, shut up!" Shen Moyu covered her ears, took a deep breath, and then looked at him with a forced expression, her face full of disgust: "You're an idiot, it's my fault."
“I…” Su Jinning pouted, having nothing to say in rebuttal.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, then Su Jinning finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Um..." He scratched his head, ready to get to the point.
“Yesterday, I didn’t know you were coming to pick me up. Because you didn’t reply to my WeChat message, I left with Gu Junxiao.” Su Jinning moved closer to Shen Moyu, wanting him to hear clearly.
Shen Moyu's hand holding the milk tea suddenly trembled, and he stared intently at his fingers.
After a moment, he slowly uttered a sentence from his thin lips: "You know?"
"Luckily I knew." Su Jinning turned to look at him, the answer somewhat unexpected.
Luckily he found out, otherwise he really didn't know if this person who wasn't good at expressing himself would have distanced himself from him without saying a word.
That's the most painful thing.
He looked at Shen Moyu's gloomy profile, bit his lip, and asked, "Are you still angry?" He regretted asking the question as soon as he did, feeling that he had asked a pointless question.
If this happened to me, I'd punch that person the next day.
"That's all, isn't it?" Shen Moyu smiled, raised his head, and looked somewhat indifferent. "It's normal for you to go with him."
"How is this normal?" Su Jinning suddenly clenched her fist, her gaze sharp as she looked at Shen Moyu: "Actually, I've been waiting for you, because I felt..." Su Jinning met Shen Moyu's slightly shocked gaze: "I felt you would come."
His eyes were shining, and you could really tell he was telling the truth.
Shen Moyu gently rubbed the milk tea bottle with her fingertips. Hearing his words, she said in shock, "You didn't... tell Gu Junxiao too?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jinning's brows furrowed immediately. He said anxiously, "I only sent the WeChat message to you. Gu Junxiao picked me up when he happened to be passing by. I noticed you hadn't replied to my WeChat message, so I thought you..." He paused, then looked at Shen Moyu with a hint of grievance, "I thought you weren't coming."
Their eyes met, each lost in their own thoughts.
Water droplets slowly trickled from between Shen Moyu's fingers onto the milk tea bottle, sending a chill through him.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He pondered Su Jinning's words, his feelings a mix of emotions.
Did you only send it to him? This answer is truly...suffocating.
Shen Moyu ultimately chose to use this word to express her current feelings. Then, as if relieved, she leaned back in her chair.
Su Jinning leaned forward: "Don't be angry." He looked at Shen Moyu, who hadn't moved, and gritted his teeth as if making up his mind: "I was wrong."
Shen Moyu looked at him curiously and asked, "What did you do wrong?"
"I was wrong about everything." Su Jinning pursed her lips and looked at him, her aggrieved expression was indeed endearing.
He patiently pleaded, "Let's make up."

Chapter 28 Going Mad
Shen Moyu didn't speak, just quietly looked at him, her eyes filled with emotions, including disbelief and a little bit of happiness.
The thing that had been bothering him for so long was easily resolved by his simple words, "I was actually waiting for you." He felt a small sense of satisfaction.
Su Jinning licked his lips lightly, as if preparing himself, then lowered his head and said again, "How about you give me some face?"
Seeing his simple and honest appearance, Shen Moyu felt an inexplicable urge to tease him: "Who are you? Why should I give you face?"
"Academic genius!" Su Jinning knew he was no longer angry, and a smile spread across her face: "Then I'll take you home? As an apology."
He didn't know if Shen Moyu would agree, but he wanted to ask.
"Okay." Shen Moyu rested her chin on her hand and looked at him teasingly, somewhat anticipating his next expression.
"Ah..." Su Jinning was indeed stunned. He really didn't expect Shen Moyu to agree. After a long pause, he finally smiled and nodded.
"Hey? Senior Su Jinning!" Qin Zhi, holding the milk tea she had just bought, ran over with her eyes lighting up as soon as she saw Su Jinning.
Shen Moyu awkwardly shifted his gaze from Su Jinning and followed the sound to Qin Zhi.
"Eh? Senior Mo Yu is here too? Are you guys here for milk tea too?" Qin Zhi nervously squeezed the milk tea bottle, worried that she might squeeze the milk tea out if she wasn't careful.
Su Jinning didn't look at Shen Moyu, but clicked her tongue helplessly and looked at Qin Zhi.
"Aren't you going to drink plain water instead of milk tea here?" Su Jinning didn't look at her, and haphazardly tidied up the snacks on the table.
"Ah! No... I..." Qin Zhi's face turned pale instantly upon hearing Su Jinning's slightly angry words, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
Seeing Qin Zhi's bewildered expression, Shen Moyu felt it was indeed a bit much and casually nudged Su Jinning with his elbow.
Su Jinning impatiently mouthed, "What?"
Shen Moyu was still a little soft-hearted. She glared at Su Jinning and said to Qin Zhi, "He's in a bad mood, don't take it to heart."
Qin Zhi looked up at Shen Moyu, forced a smile, nodded, and said in a softer voice, "It's okay."
