The situation was as Zhang Mei Xing predicted.
The humble-looking guy was the original boyfriend of the pretty girl and they had been in a relationship for more than two years. At first, the two were sweet. But the guy was poor and there was a persistent rich suitor hovering around the girl whenever her boyfriend was not around.
When comparison began to take root in her mind, she found the love she had for the humble guy was not as strong as she thought it to be. Time passed and this became the result.
The girl dumped the humble guy for the second ten rich one.
"Sorry, I don't love you anymore. He's now my new boyfriend, and he's more amazing than you," she said.
The two even shared a passionate French kiss before the guy as if to force him into a nightmare. When the girl admitted she had cheated on him and even slept with the second rich gen, he was very devastated.
Yet this was the saddest thing about betrayal. It is painful because it never comes from the enemies.
'It hurts because that one person you loved and trusted proves to you that you are blind.' The observing guide could only shake her head and smile wryly.
Zhang Mei Xing felt a bit distressed as she watched the man threw himself to alcohol and cried buckets near the riverside. This was a scene she only saw on the screen before. In real life, she knew no guy who had cried this much for a lost love, those who did were all her foolish girl friends.
Now, what would this poor guy do after that betrayal?
"Long Lingqing! Please! I love you! Come out and tell me you were just joking earlier!"
The drunk man thankfully did not jump to the river. But when he returned to the dorms, instead of going to the boy's building, here he was in front of the girl's dormitory, making a ruckus.
It was almost nearing the curfew time, yet there were still many students awake. Due to the commotion, the woman called out rushed out feeling embarrassed.
"Chen Fang, what time do you think it is now? Do you know what you're doing, huh?!"
To the enraged woman, the handsome man reduced into a crying boy tried to hug her. "Qing… Qing… Don't break up with me, please. Say that you were just lying earlier… I'm willing to forget it all and treat it as if nothing happened. Just please… Don't do this to me…"
"Gosh!" Long Qingling rolled her eyes before looking up at the sky, looking like she was too annoyed and angry to find the words to say.
A moment later, she pushed the drunk guy with all her strength. Chen Fang might be tall and good built, but none of those could be of help now that he was dizzy, heartbroken, and confused.
"Qing…" As he held his head, he called out her name again. He was having difficulty standing up due to his unstable gait. Since it was nighttime, nobody saw the redness spreading on his sleeves.
The girl looked around to see the curious and amused faces of the students and school staff and more blood rushed into her brain. Angered, she pushed him again, this time towards the gate.
"Chen Fang, we're already over, okay!? Stop bothering me! We've broken up because we're not suitable for each other. Do you understand!"
"Why!?" The boy could not help but raise his voice, the unwillingness and sadness in it made Long Qingling paused.
However, after that brief moment of hesitation, she checked if they had already several meters away before she looked him in the eyes and spat out slowly and viciously. "Chen Fang. Look at yourself and tell me what part of you deserves me. Huh? Just look at you. Poor. Unambitious. Average in grades and capabilities. But what about me?"
That question stunned Chen Fang and his tipsy mind momentarily regained clarity. Many thoughts flitted across his mind. When the anger that rose from being mocked dissipated, what replaced it was hopelessness and self-loathing. Right. He was poor and average in terms of qualifications while she was smart and admired by many. She had a bright future ahead of her, especially if that second-gen rich boy was serious about her. But…
"Qing... I thought everything's okay and that you'll wait for me to give you a comfortable life." Deep sadness showed in his eyes.
Long Lingqing saw and she was not truly unaffected.
Yet, she still chose to force the cold and piercing words out of her lips. "You know, you're right! Everything's bearable. But that was when I was still in love with you! Now, I no longer feel anything for you other than disgust and annoyance. Do you understand? If so, could you please not show your unsightly face in front of me ever again?"
'Ouch, poor guy.' The guide spectating from the Static World cast a pitying glance at Chen Fang. Even she could hear the guy's hearts further breaking into pieces. His red eyes that stubbornly held back the droplets forming on the edges made him look more miserable.
Chen Fang seemingly did not know how he managed to go back to his own dorm room. His roommates were not close to him so after ensuring he got into his own bed, they no longer bothered with him. When the morrow came, Chen Fang did not attend the morning classes as he woke up late. In the afternoon, as he rushed towards the classroom where his afternoon lesson would take place, he got ambushed by several delinquents.
This was not the usual case of campus gangsters teaching lessons to defenseless, weak guys. When Chen Fang realized that he got set up under the orders of Long Lingqing's new boyfriend, it was already too late. The injured boys appealed for Chen Fang's expulsion and it was swiftly passed.
Since then, the orphan ex-boyfriend who was kicked out of university had to survive in the city through odd jobs and construction works. The second rich gen was not obsessed with making his life hard, only wanting him to get out of Long Lingqing's sight forever. However, no decent college accepted him for his violent records, and government assistance stopped too.
The moment he stepped out of university, he further sank into mediocrity, with seemingly no more chance to turn his fate around.
A year and a half later, he died from an accident at the construction site. As he was an orphan, there were no relatives that claimed his body. The one who handled his funeral was the kind-hearted old lady director of the orphanage.
On that same day, the ex-girlfriend whose eyes had been awakened to gold-digging just gained her fifth spare tire. It caused Zhang Mei Xing to harbor mixed emotions about Chen Fang's case. She felt like all the miseries Chen Fang went through, which started from the breakup with Long Lingqing, was totally not worth it.
'Ah, what a shame for such a devoted boy to fall for a two-faced green tea.' She could only lament.
Of course, unlike the first examination, Zhang Mei Xing did not become too caught up in her emotions. She knew the guy still had a chance for a proper life once his test passed.
'Now I want to see if he will counterattack or just voluntarily steer away from the cheating girlfriend.'
Since she badly wanted to know what decisions Chen Fan would make once he went to the 'test world', she cooperated without complaint and activated the transfer through the system.
