Prometido sin amor en la universidad

"You still came!" Ye Xun said to Tong Tong with a smile.

Tong Tong was taken aback and asked Ye Xun, "You guys also arranged to eat here?"

Before Ye Xun could answer, Yang Ke and Dai Qiang had already entered the restaurant, chatting and laughing. She forgot everything, and her eyes were only on Dai Qiang.

Dai Qiang also saw Ye Xun. He didn't say anything, turned around and left the restaurant. Ye Xun called out and chased after him.

Yang Ke was stunned; this sudden turn of events left him speechless for a moment.

"Dai Qiang, is that someone you brought?" Tong Tong asked, staring at Yang Ke.

“Yes! What are they doing…” Yang Ke was completely baffled.

“Dai Qiang is Ye Xun’s boyfriend, and they just broke up!” Tong Tong sighed.

"How...how did you know?" Yang Ke asked in surprise.

“That’s easy!” Tong Tong said. “I’m Ye Xun’s roommate!”

Yang Ke stamped his foot, turned around, and chased after her.

This world is too small; people are constantly bumping around, trying to escape its confines, but they all get caught in the vortex. Yang Ke inadvertently brought together a heartbroken couple. He also brought together a group of friends who already knew each other using unfamiliar communication methods. He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong.

Regardless of the outcome, this scene was enough to make Yang Ke feel embarrassed and ashamed.

"Dai Qiang!" Ye Xun caught up with Dai Qiang and blocked his way. "Is there really no way for us to salvage this relationship?"

"What's the point of taking this back?" Dai Qiang questioned. "Haven't we already made everything clear?"

"What have we made clear?" Ye Xun retorted. "We haven't even had a chance to meet in over a month. What have we talked about?"

"Then there's absolutely nothing we can talk about!"

Dai Qiang left, ignoring the weeping Ye Xun. Yang Ke, who had been standing at a distance, finally walked over; he had been hesitating there for a long time.

"Ye Xun, I'm so sorry!" Yang Ke stammered, his voice filled with panic. "The world is too small. I really didn't know you and Dai Qiang..."

Ye Xun waved her hand, trying her best to suppress her tears, but she couldn't say a word.

"Come sit at my place!" Yang Ke said. He just wanted to do something for Ye Xun, and now he only felt apologetic towards her. "Dai Qiang might come back tonight!"

Accompanied by Yang Ke and Tong Tong, Ye Xun entered Yang Ke's house again. She should have been familiar with it, but a different atmosphere made her feel strange, and there was something indescribable that made her feel constrained. Night fell quickly, but Dai Qiang still hadn't returned. Ye Xun had already guessed that Dai Qiang wouldn't be coming back tonight; she knew him too well. For some reason, this outcome made her abandon her tension and inexplicably relax, seemingly without any disappointment or frustration.

The room was very quiet. Yang Ke remained silent the whole time. Only Tong Tong, who was filled with excitement, couldn't contain herself and started dancing every now and then. The friend that Yang Ke mentioned, whom he said he had "just met recently," was a complete misunderstanding. It was like a bubble in the sunlight, which burst the moment it took shape.

"Dai Qiang might not be back tonight!" Yang Ke said softly. "You guys stay here tonight, I'll go back to school alone!"

Yang Ke was about to leave when Ye Xun called him back.

"You'd better not leave tonight. How can we take your spot?"

Yang Ke thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, you guys sleep inside, I'll sleep in the living room!"

Night flowed into the living room through the window, plunging it into darkness. A dim lamp cast a milky white hue, making the room resemble a gray-toned oil painting—quiet, peaceful, and serene. Yang Ke and Ye Xun sat motionless on the same sofa, watching every piece of furniture reflect the soft light. They had become one with the scene, like two beautiful sculptures.

"Take it easy!" Yang Ke said softly. "Maybe everything will become clear after dawn!"

"Really?" Ye Xun questioned. "I feel like I'm walking step by step into the darkness, but I can never see the light!"

“Of course it will!” Yang Ke said. “Don’t night and day alternate? There can’t be an eternal night!”

Ye Xun turned her head to look at Yang Ke, seemingly not understanding what he was saying.

"The road of love is never a smooth one. Isn't that how it's portrayed in movies and scripts? The more setbacks there are between two people, the more wonderful the outcome often will be!"

Ye Xun was somewhat skeptical of the comfort Yang Ke offered. Would she and Dai Qiang really be like that?

Chapter 009 Stealing the Marriage Bracelet

“Sure…” Yang Ke said hesitantly, “Could you tell me your story? If you don’t mind, maybe I can help in some way!”

Tong Tong was jumping around in her bedroom, sometimes tossing and turning on the bed. Yang Ke and Ye Xun's conversation would occasionally drift in from outside the door, disturbing her mood. Tong Tong didn't want Yang Ke to have a private and intimate conversation with any girl, but she couldn't be sure if that included her best friend Ye Xun. So the contradiction kept bothering her, tempting her to open the door from time to time and sneak a few glances into the living room.

"Everything is still within my expectations and control!" Tong Tong comforted herself.

Suddenly, Tong Tong remembered the bracelet. She opened the drawer and took it out. The bracelet had been repaired, and the repair was flawless. Tong Tong was secretly delighted. She put the bracelet on her wrist and lay on the bed admiring it.

"...And so, we've relied on and cared for each other since we were little. I really don't know what kind of future I would have if I lost him one day!"

Yang Ke froze, staring at Ye Xun. Tears welled in her eyes, each tear reflecting a silvery light in the gray living room, like a pearl. Yet, Ye Xun herself didn't know how to cherish such pearls. Yang Ke vaguely sensed that there was no love between Ye Xun and Dai Qiang; perhaps it was more of a familial bond, or even just friendship. It was more of an unspoken responsibility, seemingly without any attachment or lingering affection. Perhaps even if they weathered this storm, they would face another test. But how could Yang Ke confirm this suspicion? Or how could he tell Ye Xun?

"Yang Ke, what's wrong?" Ye Xun asked.

"It's nothing!" Yang Ke said, "I was just too engrossed in listening!"

Yang Ke felt he should remain silent. He knew too little about love, and he couldn't use his limited understanding to criticize Ye Xun. That would be the behavior of a quack doctor, and it would ruin someone else's happiness.

"It's too late, go to sleep!" Yang Ke said. "Everything will be alright tomorrow!"

Ye Xun returned to the bedroom. Tong Tong was already asleep. She turned off the light, got into bed in the dark, and lay down, not wanting to get up again. E
