Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Jingchen looked at the woman’s red eyes and frowned. He reached out to touch her face, but the woman avoided him.

His hand froze mid-air.

To ease the awkwardness, he wanted to put his hand on her head, but the woman got up and kept a distance from him.

Looking at her back, he felt that something must have happened and made her very angry.

“Beibei, is there something you want to tell me?”

Tang Beibei looked down at her cell phone and played her music. “I’m going to practice now. I don’t need your help.”

Jiang Jingchen still wanted to talk, but she was dancing in front of the mirror with no intention to communicate with him.

He waited for a while before he went out and called Ruan Qi to ask if something unpleasant had happened in school.

“No, we were fine in school. What’s wrong?”

“Beibei’s in a bad mood. Did anything unexpected happen at the dance studio?”

“No. Perhaps Beibei is under a lot of pressure from her studies. Studying medicine is hard. She has to memorize facts every day, and still need to find time for dance practice.” Ruan Qi suggested.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t get his answer and hung up the phone. Maybe she was in a bad mood because she was stressed out about school.

At night, the two of them lay in bed after washing up.

Jiang Jingchen saw that the woman’s back was facing him. After he lay down, he put his arm around her waist.

“Beibei, are you feeling unwell?”

Didn’t they say that women would be in a bad mood during their period?

“No, I’m going to sleep. Good night.”

Jiang Jingchen wanted to kiss her goodnight but the woman avoided him. Jiang Jingchen endured it.

Tang Beibei had school the following day.

She saw the man take her bag and put things in it. She looked down at her toes expressionlessly and did not say anything.

But she could see clearly that he was really nice to her.

She carried her school bag and went to school. When she arrived at school, Ruan Qi asked her if she was alright because she looked pale.

Tang Beibei shook her head weakly. She was distracted in class that she didn’t even hear the teacher call her name.

Ruan Qi nudged Tang Beibei with her elbow and Tang Beibei just stared blankly at her.

The teacher called Tang Beibei’s name again, and she finally reacted. However, she had no idea what the teacher was asking, so she answered that she didn’t know. Everyone in class laughed.

The teacher was angry and scolded her to pay attention in class.

After Tang Beibei sat down, she lowered her head and felt even worse.

Ruan Qi looked at her worriedly. “Beibei, how could you not know the answer? The teacher just explained the concept.”

“Oh, if the teacher just taught it, why did he ask me to answer the question? Was he trying to make fun of me?”

Ruan Qi didn’t know what to say and felt strange in her heart.

After class, Tang Beibei packed her bag and left without waiting for Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi hurriedly chased after her. Fu Jin followed suit and asked, “Beibei, did something happen to her?”

“I don’t know. I am about to ask her.”

The two of them ran after Tang Beibei. Seeing that she was about to walk into a tree, Fu Jin quickly ran forward and pulled her away.

“Beibei, what’s wrong? Why are you so distracted?”

“I’m fine. Let’s go to dance practice in the afternoon.”

Fu Jin looked at her in surprise. “Beibei, we still have a class in the afternoon.”

“Oh, we still have class.”

Tang Beibei didn’t want to attend class. She was in no mood to listen to a lecture and her mind was in a mess.

However, she still had to continue learning.

See, when one was in a bad mood, nothing in the world would go smoothly.

“Then we’ll go to class.”

Fu Jin stopped her worriedly. “Beibei, what happened? If you treat us as friends, tell us.”

Tang Beibei chuckled. “I’m fine. What’s wrong with you guys? You keep asking me what happened. Must something happen to me?”

Fu Jin frowned. Tang Beibei, who had a gentle personality, would not have asked such a sharp question under normal circumstances.

“We should go to the cafeteria for lunch next. Not this way.”

Tang Beibei nodded and turned to find the cafeteria.

Ruan Qi and Fu Jin looked at each other worriedly. She couldn’t even tell which direction she was going, and she said that she was fine. Only a ghost would believe her.

But if she didn’t want to tell them, they couldn’t force it out of her.

When they were at the cafeteria, Tang Beibei just took a few random bites and put down her chopsticks.

Ruan Qi saw that she barely touched her food. Tang Beibei couldn’t bear to waste any food usually.

“Beibei, did you have a fight with Jiang Jingchen?”

“A fight? He doesn’t even bother to argue with me. I’m just a little girl who doesn’t know anything. It he argued with me and said something unpleasant, I wouldn’t even understand it.”

Tang Beibei laughed at herself sarcastically.

Ruan Qi was speechless.

That meant that they had a fight.

Tang Beibei tried her best to calm herself down during the afternoon class.

Even if she was divorced, her life had to continue.

Worst case, she’d remarry!

The more she tried to pay attention to the lecture, the more Jiang Jingchen appeared in her mind. It was the bits and pieces of their life together.

Damn it!

She was so angry that she pinched herself

After school, she went to the dance studio and practiced for two hours. She felt better for a little while after she worked out a sweat.

“Beibei, you should eat something. You haven’t eaten much today.” Ruan Qi persuaded.

Tang Beibei had no appetite. She looked at herself in the mirror and asked

Ruan Qi, “Qiqi, do you think I’ll be able to live well alone in the future?”

Ruan Qi did not think much of it and replied, “Of course. Weren’t you alone before? The earth would still spin when people left us.”

Tang Beibei smiled bitterly. “You’re right.”

The world would still function when people left us.

However, it would feel like her heart was missing a piece, and it would hurt badly.

If possible, she didn’t want to be alone. She wanted him to accompany her.

However, she had no say when the marriage began, and she would have no say if or when it ended.

“Beibei, your phone keeps vibrating. Your husband is calling you.”

Tang Beibei turned to look at the phone on top of her bag. It was Jiang Jingchen calling.

She hesitated for a moment before she answered the call.

“Beibei, I know you’re very busy with your dance practice, so I brought dinner to the dance studio for you.”

“Oh, I’ll go find you.”

Tang Beibei hung up the phone and went to the entrance of the dance studio. She saw the man in his wheelchair holding a thermal food container.

However, he was wearing a mask today.

Tang Beibei pursed her lips and walked over slowly.

“Sorry, I didn’t check my phone during training.”

She wanted to part with him on good terms and did not want their relationship to be too strained.

Jiang Jingchen nodded to show his understanding.

She asked him, “Why are you wearing a mask today? Are you feeling unwell?”

Jiang Jingchen explained gently, “The scars on my face will scare the other students at the dance studio and bring you trouble. So, 1 wore a mask to cover them. Beibei, rest a while after you eat before you train again. Go back inside and contact me when you are done. I’ll come and pick you up.”

Tang Beibei looked at him in surprise. He never wore a mask when he went out in the past, but today, he wore a mask for her.

She felt terrible.

If Jiang Jingchen was going to divorce her, why was he so nice to her?

She was afraid that she would cling onto the marriage, refuse to get a divorce and become a bitter and ferocious woman..
