Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Probably Because... He’s Just Too Good!

Shen Juanzhi had always protected her well, but not everyone was Shen Juanzhi, and not everyone harbored good intentions.

Due to her unique background, she was always surrounded by people looking at her through colored lenses.

So, at a very young age, she had learnt to read people’s faces, always observing the world with a cool detachment, ignoring those she didn’t like, but once someone entered her heart, she was devoted and kind.

She was always able to stay calm, no matter the situation.

But sometimes, being too clear-headed and rational could easily harm both others and oneself.

This was true for Jiang Zhiyi and also for Sheng Ting. When a relationship made her feel troubled, she chose to escape rather than confront and resolve the problems.

Shen Tan sighed and said, "That’s not right of you."

"Seeing you like this, it’s obvious you can’t let go, so why did you let him leave? You think it’s for his own good, but he might not see it that way. Besides, don’t you think you rushed into breaking up? Long-distance relationships are tough, but it’s only for a year at most. You’re not someone who needs to stick with their boyfriend all the time." Given that she hadn’t even tried and was giving up, if Shen Weiyi didn’t look so genuinely upset, Shen Tan might have doubted whether she ever truly liked the guy.

Shen Weiyi replied, "I just feel that he might be better off without me around."

"How do you know he wouldn’t be better with you by his side? Shen Weiyi, when did you become so lacking in confidence?" Shen Tan frowned disapprovingly at her.

"Probably because... he’s too good!" So good that in front of him, she actually felt inferior!

Without realizing it, Shen Weiyi had downed an entire can of beer and, leaning on Shen Tan’s shoulder, said, "But what can I do? I think I really like him a lot."

"Serve you right!" Shen Tan poked her forehead and then opened another can of beer and handed it to her, "Look, there’s nothing that a can of beer can’t solve. If one isn’t enough, open another."

"You’re right!" This wasn’t the first breakup. That sadness and reluctance would eventually pass.

Unnoticed, they finished the last can of beer, and Shen Tan looked at the drunk figure on the sofa, picked up the girl’s phone from the table, unlocked it with facial recognition, and dialed a number.

"Come pick up your girlfriend!" She said.

...

"Yiyi, you’re awake?"

Waking from her hangover, Shen Weiyi felt a terrible headache, and her memory of the events from the night before was fragmented.

The only thing she remembered was that she had broken up with Sheng Ting.

She opened the WeChat chat box to find that the most recent message was from two days ago.

In an instant, she felt an empty void in her chest, as if she had lost something very important.

When she broke up with Jiang Zhiyi before, she had felt sad, but perhaps due to being let down too many times, she hadn’t stayed sad for long after the breakup.

She thought it would be the same this time.

Shen Weiyi, still bearing a headache, washed up and joined everyone else in going to class.

It was only when she reached the classroom that she realized she had brought the wrong textbooks—something she hadn’t done since elementary school.

Looking at the teacher on the podium and the wrong professional book in her hands, she felt her headache worsen.

"Are you okay?" Fang Jing and Yan Xiaoyue, sitting next to her and seeing her pale, asked with concern.

Shen Weiyi shook her head.

In the following two days, she didn’t initiate contact with Sheng Ting, and he didn’t reach out to her either.

It was as if the relationship had just ended like that!
