School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 476 - 477: With an Unprecedented Coldness She Had Never Seen Before

Shen Tan was capricious in her youth, treating love like a game. She fancied good looks and enjoyed flirting but was stingy with her true feelings.

Determined to become a female playboy, it was only when she met Jiang Yu that year that her heart truly stirred.

Love often starts without warning and, before you know it, deepens profoundly.

The wild rose retracted its thorns, wanting to learn to be a good wife and mother, only to find that the boy had an ulterior motive from the start. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Not for love, but for revenge.

The beginning of the fissure came from a photo.

She discovered a joint photo in his mobile phone and curiously asked who the other person in the photo was?

After all, she had met nearly all of his friends, but she had never heard him mention the person in the photo before.

However, the expression on Jiang Yu’s face changed the instant he saw the photo, especially the way he looked at her, with a coldness she had never seen before, "You don’t recognize him?"

"Should I recognize him?" Shen Tan was perplexed.

Could it be that she had met him before but forgotten?

Yet Jiang Yu didn’t explain further and instead took his phone back, excusing himself for having things to do and left.

He came back very late that night, reeking of alcohol.

He had always been gentle in front of her, like a sweet puppy, until that night when he drank and lost his composure.

"You’ve been drinking?"

"Mind your own business."

"What happened?"

"I told you, just leave me alone."

That was the first time in nearly a year together that he spoke to her coldly and distantly, even with a tinge of disgust in his voice.

"Jiang Yu, why are you acting crazy drunk all of a sudden?"

"Shen Tan, do all men in your eyes only exist as targets for your hunt? As toys for you to pass time when you’re bored? Do other people’s affections and lives mean nothing to you?"

Jiang Yu’s words became increasingly outrageous.

"Jiang Yu, watch how you speak!" Shen Tan frowned.

Shen Tan wasn’t one to be trifled with either; anyone else would have received a slap from her and seen her walk away. But because it was him, she still wanted to clarify what had happened.

She admitted she hadn’t been serious about relationships in the past, but having been together for so long, she had already cut ties with everyone else.

She was sincerely trying to be with him.

Yet he would say such things about her.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t angry, but she still wanted to hear his explanation.

Until Jiang Yu said that phrase: "He died for you, and you say you don’t recognize him."

"What on earth are you talking about? Who died?" Shen Tan was thoroughly confused.

Later, she specifically had someone look into it, only then did she learn that it was his childhood friend.

Someone who had been suffering from heart disease since childhood and, coincidentally, was also from their school.

After thinking hard, Shen Tan finally remembered that she indeed seemed to have met the person before. She vaguely remembered that he was particularly shy, his face turning red even before speaking.

In this day and age, it was rare to find such an innocent boy.

She found it interesting and teased him verbally a few times but immediately forgot about it afterward.

Upon closer thought, their encounter was just that one time, and they had not even added each other on WeChat.

But he insisted that she was responsible for his death.

Jiang Yu: "He had a heart condition and was especially sensitive and self-conscious from a young age. You were the first girl he ever liked."

In Shen Tan’s eyes, it was merely a casual flirtation that no one would take seriously, but it unexpectedly stirred the naive heart of the youth.

That day, he had intended to confess his feelings to Shen Tan but ended up seeing her with another guy, which led to overwhelming sadness, triggering his heart condition.

Although he was rescued in time, he became despondent and unwilling to cooperate with the treatment, even secretly discontinuing his own medication.
