Chapter 444 Red Rose and White Rose
Zhou Yuwen took Zheng Yanyan's phone and glanced at it, discovering it was a photo of Lu Lin. She was standing alone under a dim streetlight, seemingly in one of the school's small pavilions, wearing a knitted top paired with her black jeans.
She changed her hairstyle, but she looks really thin.
Zhou Yuwen said, "She's so thin that she's almost unrecognizable."
"When did she change her hairstyle?" Zhou Yuwen asked.
Zheng Yanyan said proudly, "Hmph, you didn't expect that, did you?"
"Isn't it beautiful? I did Linlin's perm." Previously, Lu Lin had long, straight black hair, but in the photo, she now had slightly wavy long hair. Looking at Zheng Yanyan's expression, Zhou Yuwen found it hard to believe and said, "You have the skill for this?"
Zheng Yanyan replied, "Isn't it just a piece of cake for me?"
"I'll give you a perm someday too."
"I wouldn't dare."
While speaking, someone came looking for Zheng Yanyan. It turned out that the program event by the Cultural Department had ended, and Zheng Yanyan, being the head, needed to go tell the members something.
Zheng Yanyan told Zhou Yuwen to wait for her, she'd be back soon.
Zhou Yuwen nodded and told her to go ahead.
After Zheng Yanyan left, Zhou Yuwen chatted with Shen Yu for a while until Shen Yu was also called away.
Zhou Yuwen noticed that, although Su Qing seemed busy in the distance, she actually had nothing to do.
Hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yuwen went over to greet her.
Zhou Yuwen said, "I heard from Shen Yu that you passed TOEFL."
"Mm."
Su Qing nodded. Studying abroad was one of her regrets from her past life. She already had enough professional knowledge, so going abroad wasn't about learning something new but perhaps getting a bigger stage.
Looking back now, it was good that both had been reborn, each able to remedy their regrets.
Meanwhile, behind the stage, others were bustling about, causing a ruckus.
Zhou Yuwen asked when Su Qing planned to leave.
Su Qing didn't look at Zhou Yuwen. After a hesitation, she replied, "Next week."
This genuinely surprised Zhou Yuwen. So soon?
He mainly hadn't known at all.
Zhou Yuwen had asked Tao Tian to accompany Su Qing, so why hadn't Tao Tian mentioned anything?
Seeing Zhou Yuwen's confusion, Su Qing said, "I asked her not to tell you. You have a new relationship now, I won't affect you anymore."
For some reason, Su Qing's words made Zhou Yuwen feel speechless.
He shifted the topic, saying it might actually be good this way.
"You have your things, and I have mine. Our past regrets are now remedied."
Hearing this, Su Qing actually felt a bit irritated.
Zhou Yuwen is like this, never willing to face anything, nor take responsibility.
Everywhere, people said the divorce was her fault.
Yet the truth was, there were times Zhou Yuwen was quite clueless, thinking not to confront the difficulties, but that it would also be fine this way.
Life can't be lived that way.
For some reason, Su Qing's eyes suddenly turned red.
She bit her lip but held back her tears.
Zhou Yuwen didn't notice Su Qing's expression.
Until Su Qing started speaking.
With her expression back to calm, Su Qing said, "I don't know what your regrets are."
"But my greatest regret is divorcing you."
"I tried to make amends, but I failed."
"Going abroad is not to remedy my regret but to settle for second best."
Su Qing looked at Zhou Yuwen, speaking each word slowly and clearly.
After saying this, Zhou Yuwen could only remain silent.
He wanted to say something.
But Su Qing no longer wanted to listen.
What could he say?
At most, he'd say, "Ah, I am now with Yanyan and Linlin."
"I can't possibly abandon them, right?"
So, when Zhou Yuwen wanted to argue back, Su Qing had already left first.
Leaving Zhou Yuwen feeling quite embarrassed.
A man with money can cover up all his shortcomings.
Meaning, every woman sees Zhou Yuwen as perfect, handsome, talented, and rich.
But only Su Qing knows the real Zhou Yuwen.
And Zhou Yuwen's feelings for Su Qing are also complex. He can't say he doesn't like Su Qing. Perhaps, in some ways, he's always enjoyed the feeling of being pursued by her.
In a man's life, he'll meet two women, the White Rose and the Red Rose.
Marry the Red Rose, and the White becomes a trace of cold moonlight by the bed, while the Red Rose becomes mosquito blood on clothes that won't wash out.
Marry the White Rose, and the Red Rose becomes an indelible Cinnabar mole, while the White Rose becomes a grain of rice on clothes, disdained by all.
"Yuwen!"
As Zhou Yuwen was deep in thought, Jiang Xinyi called out to him.
Zhou Yuwen turned around and asked why she was there?
But Jiang Xinyi asked, "What are you dazing out here for? I've called you several times already."
Zhou Yuwen responded with an "Oh," and said, "Did you?"
Jiang Xinyi seemed a bit exasperated and said, "What do you mean by that? Did you forget my mom is friends with your principal, and she came to watch the late show today."
