4 Leave the Past Where It Belongs and Start Over

"Hello, I want to cut my hair!" Jian Dan came in and said to the receptionist.

A hairstylist came over to Jian Dan and said, "Hello, Miss." Under the hairstylist's lead, she first washed her hair. After the shampoo, she sat in the salon chair and the hairstylist asked, "What hairstyle do you have in mind?"

"I want to cut it short, up to the neck!" Jian Dan gestured with her hand near her neck.

After knowing what Jian Dan wanted, the hairstylist draped the hairdressing gown around Jian Dan and made preparations. A second before he was about to cut her hair, he asked, "Miss, have you really thought it through?" Perhaps even the hairstylist felt that it was a pity to cut off her waist-length hair!

Jian Dan looked at her long hair and recalled everything that had happened between her and Zhong Tianhao. They had been so good together in the past, and he even said, "We'll get married on your 20th birthday. I'll only love you for the rest of my life!"

But now… he was engaged to someone else?

They did not even have an argument…

It just happened. She watched as he held another woman's hand…

Zhong Tianhao liked Jian Dan's long hair very much, so she kept it for him. But now…

"Yes, cut it!" Jian Dan's soft tone brimmed with determination.

Some time later… Jian Dan looked at her shoulder-length hair in the mirror. Not only did her entire neck feel relaxed, but even her heart felt much more relaxed.

The moment she left the hair salon, Jian Dan told herself to put him in the rearview mirror and move on.

At the entrance of J University, a person suddenly appeared and hugged her from behind…

A big smile appeared in front of Jian Dan. Xu Mengmeng! She was Jian Dan best friend and inexplicably liked Jian Dan very much.

"Mengmeng, why are you here?" Jian Dan reciprocated with a big smile.

"Jian, what happened to you? I didn't even recognize you from afar just now. Why did you cut your hair? Zhong Tianhao agreed to that? That would be news," Xu Mengmeng asked in one breath.

Just as Jian Dan was about to say something, Mengmeng said, "Oh, I know… Because you are married. Is this your new look as a wife? Sigh… I just came back and have to put up with your lovey-dovey display of affections!" Mengmeng pretended to be angry.

"Mengmeng, actually…" Jian Dan's smile disappeared as she said slowly.

"Oh, come on. I was just kidding. You don't know how happy I am! Seeing you and Zhong Tianhao tie the knot made me believe that there is still true love in this world!" Mengmeng said with envy…

"No, Mengmeng, I"…

Jian Dan looked at Mengmeng's excited expression and really did not know how to tell her.

"I want to hear the details. When you proposed to Zhong Tianhao, was he moved to tears?"

Mengmeng knew all about her love story with Zhong Tianhao. Naturally, she also knew about Jian Dan's plan to come back—she would propose to Zhong Tianhao on his birthday, and then go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage the next day, which also happened to be Jian Dan's 20th birthday.

Just then, Qin Rou walked out of the school gate with her arms around Zhong Tianhao's waist… They were surrounded by many people…

When Mengmeng saw this, she looked at Jian Dan. "Why is Zhong Tianhao with that woman, Qin Rou?"

"Because…" Just as Jian Dan was about to speak, she heard the conversation of two girls passing by them. "That's her! She should have looked into the mirror and see if she's worthy of our dreamboat, Zhong Tianhao. It's fine to date her. But when it comes to marriage, only a rich girl like Qin Rou can marry into the Zhong family!"

"That's right! Can anyone just marry into the Zhong family? Zhong Tianhao and Qin Rou's engagement says it all."

"What did they just say?" Mengmeng looked at Jian Dan in disbelief.

"It's what you see. Zhong Tianhao and I are over," Jian Dan said with a relaxed expression.

Mengmeng flew off the handle. She was about to rush over and beat Zhong Tianhao up…

Jian Dan pulled Xu Mengmeng away forcefully…

When did Jian Jian come back?

Zhong Tianhao immediately saw Jian Dan at the gate. Her short hair pierced his heart deeply.

He knew that he could not hide it.

Zhong Tianhao subconsciously wanted to walk over to her, but Qin Rou held him back…

"What are you doing? Don't forget that you're my fiancé now," Qin Rou said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Zhong Tianhao stared after Jian Dan's departing figure as she gradually fell out of his sight.

"Jian, why are you pulling me away?! Such a scumbag should be beaten up so badly that his mother can't even recognize him!" Mengmeng said through gritted teeth.

"Is that necessary?"

"That's true! A scumbag like him would dirty my fist."

"Exactly."

"He'll regret it in future. That's why you cut your hair, right?"

"Leave the past where it belongs and start over."
