Chapter 240: Feelings to Were Destined to Fail

If Jian Yiling wanted to let them know the truth, then she wouldn’t have failed so many subjects at school.
“Thank you,” Jian Yiling replied.
Although she wasn’t worried about Qin Chuan telling anyone, it would be best if Qin Chuan could help her keep her secret.
Following this, Qin Chuan and Jian Yiling chatted for a while in the cafe.
And then, they left the cafe together.
As Qin Chuan didn’t have a car, he couldn’t send Jian Yiling home.
Due to this reason, he merely said his farewells at the doorway of the cafe before he watched her leave.
Mo Shiyun watched the two of them leave the cafe from the bookstore across the street.
She saw the smiles that repeatedly appeared on Qin Chuan’s face as he had chatted with Jian Yiling.
As Qin Chuan and Jian Yiling were seated by the window seat, she could see them clearly even though they were across the street from her.
A bitter feeling sprouted in Mo Shiyun’s heart. She couldn’t explain why she felt this way.
She didn’t know the reason behind such a feeling either.
However, she felt that all the bitterness and unlucky events that recently happened in her life had something to do with Jian Yiling.
And thus, Mo Shiyun picked up her phone to take a photo of Qin Chuan. In the photo, Qin Chuan had a big smile on his face.
And this radiant smile was because of Jian Yiling.
She had unconsciously taken the photo on her phone right now. She didn’t know why she had taken such a photo. However, she desperately stared at the photo in front of her. In her heart, she tried to find an explanation for Qin Chuan and Jian Yiling’s meeting. She tried to find evidence in the photo that the relationship between the two was not as close as it appeared in the image.
However, the longer Mo Shiyun looked at the photo, the more her thoughts drifted. Her thoughts drifted in the direction that she didn’t want them to go in.
This was the first time in her life that she had feelings for a guy. However, it appeared as though her feelings were destined to fail before they even began.

In the following few days, Mo Shiyun was quite absent-minded. Her thoughts kept wandering to the photo she had taken.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her. The scene from a few days ago kept haunting her mind.
When Zhu Sha walked behind Mo Shiyun, she saw the photo on Mo Shiyun’s phone.
“Isn’t that Jian Yiling?” Zhu Sha said. She had immediately recognized Jian Yiling.
When Mo Shiyun realized that Zhu Sha was standing behind her, Mo Shiyun immediately put her phone away.
“Hey, let me take another look. I feel as though I’ve seen that man before,” Zhu Sha said as she reached for Mo Shiyun’s phone.
“It’s nothing,” Mo Shiyun replied. She refused to give her phone to Zhu Sha.
“No, isn’t that the guy who came to our school to give us a lecture last time? What was his name again… Qin Chuan! Yeah, it’s Qin Chuan!” Zhu Sha cried out. She managed to figure out the man in the photo.
Mo Shiyun didn’t reply.
Zhu Sha was quite confused as she continued to speak, “Why is Jian Yiling sitting with Qin Chuan? Is there something between them? Are they dating?”
Dating was not allowed in Shenghua High School.
Although it wasn’t forbidden, the teachers had indirectly told the students that studying was the most important thing in their stage of life right now.
“No, it’s not. Please don’t talk nonsense.”
Mo Shiyun didn’t like the way that Zhu Sha defined the two as ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’.
“It’s not like that Shiyun. It doesn’t matter whether or not they’re dating. If you post that photo, everyone will definitely think that there’s something fishy that’s happening between them.”
Zhu Sha’s words made Mo Shiyun pause.
Zhu Sha continued to convince Mo Shiyun, “Let’s just post the photo. We don’t need to say anything. If we don’t say anything, we can’t wrongly accuse them. Furthermore, the photo is real. You didn’t photoshop it. It’s just the truth.”
Zhu Sha saw that Mo Shiyun had begun to hesitate. She decided to put more effort into her words, “How about this? Why don’t you send the photo to me? I think it’s fine for you to send a photo to a friend, no? As for whether or not I post the photo, that’s my business. It has nothing to do with you.”
