The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 816 - 323: The Phoenix Man’s Rebirth (Part 7)

During this period, He Jingtian had just begun pursuing Su Anqi.

He Jingtian was good-looking and did not perform poorly academically, and he was actively involved in club activities.

Although he came from a remote mountain village, he wasn’t self-conscious or sensitive at all. Instead, he was confident, sunny, and cheerful.

Aside from doing well in his major courses, He Jingtian also wrote some short articles, which he occasionally published in magazines or newspapers, earning him the reputation of a budding talent.

In this era, the concept of a "male idol" didn’t exist yet, but He Jingtian was considered quite the prominent figure in their department.

Su Anqi, being a young and naive girl, was at the time exposed to the influx of romance novels into the mainland market.

QY dramas were beginning to dominate the screens, and the ideology of love above everything else filled the hearts of young people.

Su Anqi had read many romance novels and longed to meet her own Prince Charming who would treat her as his everything.

Her heart awakened, yearning for love!

It was just at this time that Su Anqi received a love letter from He Jingtian, with a rose pressed inside.

He Jingtian’s pursuit was not too flashy; it was subtle but romantic in a small bourgeois way.

Su Anqi was moved.

However, the two had not made their relationship explicit, and they were in a stage of budding romance.

This time, He Jingtian suddenly took leave to return to his hometown, and he had discreetly "reported" to Su Anqi.

But when He Jingtian returned with a middle-aged woman who seemed to be his real mother and did not contact Su Anqi immediately, Su Anqi felt somewhat disappointed.

Su Anqi wanted to be angry, yet she felt that she shouldn’t be—

Humph, who am I to him? If he came back and didn’t contact me right away, what kind of mistake would that be?

Reason told her that this was the way it should be.

But Su Anqi couldn’t help but wonder in her heart. When He Jingtian was pursuing her, he would discreetly fantasize about their future together.

The relationship between him and her was aimed at marriage.

If he planned to marry, if he regarded the other as his future partner, then shouldn’t He Jingtian report his every move to her?

When making decisions, he should also seek her opinion.

So the result—

Looking at He Jingtian not far away and that middle-aged woman with an expression somewhat abnormal, Su Anqi’s feelings were very complicated.

In the end, she pretended not to care and deliberately distanced herself from He Jingtian, saying, "He’s him, I’m me. Whatever he does, what does it have to do with me?"

After saying this, Su Anqi just left on her own.

Leaving several roommates looking at each other—

"Didn’t they say He Jingtian and Anqi got together?"

"Yeah, last time I even saw them go to the movies together."

"Oh, well, if Anqi says it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter. Honestly, I always thought He Jingtian wasn’t good enough for Anqi."

"Exactly, exactly, Anqi is Professor Su’s real daughter. He Jingtian isn’t bad, but his family conditions are too difficult."

"...hiss, did you notice that the woman next to He Jingtian seems odd, is there something wrong here?"

The girl speaking pointed to her temple.

The other few girls seemed inspired and quickly turned their heads to look.

After a moment, they nodded with different expressions.

If you don’t look closely, that woman looks just like a normal person.

But upon closer observation, you’ll find that her mind seems not quite normal!

"Heavens, could she be mentally ill."

"He Jingtian is already quite poor, and if he has a mentally ill relative, that would really be deadly!"

Several girls glanced at each other and increasingly felt that there was no future between He Jingtian and Su Anqi.

"...let’s hurry back to the dormitory, we have class this afternoon!"

After a moment of silence, one of the girls felt the atmosphere was too gloomy and quickly jumped in to smooth things over.

"Right! Right! Let’s hurry up and go."

As for He Jingtian, it had nothing to do with them.

As for Su Anqi, she didn’t need her friends to persuade her; even Professor Su and his wife wouldn’t agree!

Thinking of this, they no longer paid attention, changed the topic, and left the cafeteria while chatting away.

He Jingtian was unaware of what took place in this corner.

After finishing his meal, He Jingtian didn’t linger; he had already checked the address and contact information of the Provincial City’s Mental Health Center Hospital and went there with his real mother.

"Mom, don’t be afraid, let’s have the doctor give you a good check-up!"

Arriving at yet another unfamiliar environment, Mrs. He was, unsurprisingly, afraid again.

He Jingtian gently comforted her, then registered, paid the fee, and accompanied his real mother to various examinations.
