When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds

Chapter 3: Tan Jiao 01 (3)

A few steps ahead were a group of colleagues from the same company. They were harmonious but did not seem close enough to be considered best friends. To their right was a mother and daughter pair. They looked wealthy and seemed very timid. At the corner sat a lonely woman, probably an office worker. Not far from her stood a man, who seemed like a gentleman but had a gloomy look in his eyes

Right then, he walked past the window.

My heart skipped a beat before I saw the girl following him. The girl held onto his arm, and the two of them stuck together closely. He looked away from the ship so I could not see his expression. However, I was able to see the girls face. Her facial features were delicate but her eyes were teary.

At this moment, my heart sank, and anger slowly crept up. I got up without hesitating and followed them to find out what was going on.

If this is his girlfriend, then its very likely hes a jerk. He even had the gall to drink my plum wine!

There was no one around this part of the ship, as it was far away from the restaurant and almost at the end of the corridor. As expected, I heard his cold and deep voice coming from around the corner. Tell me. How are you going to not let everyone down?

I stopped in my tracks. After hesitating for a moment, I peeked my head out slightly to find a dramatic scene around the corner.

Pressed against the wall, the girl lowered her head and kept on wiping her tears. The guy, however, had a somber look on his face and veins popping out on his forehead. He was like a different person now. He held a book in his other hand firmly, almost crumbling it.

He yelled out, You said youve never traveled, so I brought you here. Did you think this money fell out from the sky? I had to burn the midnight oil, helping my professor to earn this money. When can you grow up a little? How many times have you failed the fourth-grade exam? All day long you indulge yourself. How are you going to find a job in the future with your poor grades? Are you going to depend on me? Huh? Is that your plan? Why arent you talking? Look me in the eye, dont look down! Why wont you look me in the eye?

The scolding he gave was rather harsh.

Suddenly, I felt like I did not know him anymore. The fact was I did not know him at all. No matter who this girl was to him, I abruptly felt like I had lost interest in him.

I felt an emptiness in my heart once more.

As I was turning to leave, the guy continued his scolding once more, Even if your grades are poor, why cant you participate in more social activities to improve your overall skills? Maybe learn something useful and obtain some certification? Dont you know how competitive our current society is? All you do is read these stupid books, nonsensical romance. Utter trash! What future could you have?

He threw the book to the ground.

I had intended to simply forget about the matter; not caring about whether he was two-timing.

However, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the books cover.

As though a weak current of electricity had shocked my head, my brain suddenly jolted into action.

On the cover were the words: Author: Qi Zhu.

Piece of sh*t, I wrote that book.

I slowly raised my head. At this moment, he noticed that someone else was there. He turned to look at me, but the malicious look meant to teach the girl a lesson had not faded away.

Raising the corner of my lips, I let out a cold snort. My gay friend told me that this expression of mine was perfect, bitchy and annoying. Then immediately, as shock covered his face, I strode away.

That was my first encounter with him. I thought he was a great guy. Thought I was so lucky and had found myself a treasure. Who would have known he was merely a scum that had trampled on my book.

After I got back to my room and shut the door behind me, I thought, This scummy guy. Even if he chases after me desperately, I wont accept him.
