Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!-Chapter 352 - 186 Stealing a Flirtation
The BMW X7 was quite a large vehicle for a girl, and Tao Tian felt somewhat cautious driving it, especially in her high heels, which she definitely had to take off while driving.
Driving such a nice car for the first time always made Tao Tian feel a bit uneasy.
Zhou Yuwen, on the other hand, didn’t mind at all; he just squinted his eyes and waited to get home from the passenger seat.
Tao Tian said, "I haven’t driven much since I got my license."
"If I really do bump or crash it, I can’t afford to pay."
Zhou Yuwen said, "If that happens, you could just give yourself to me as compensation."
After hearing this, Tao Tian couldn’t help but smile, saying that the deal didn’t seem fair.
So Tao Tian drove the car slowly in the direction of Zhou Yuwen’s house, aware that he lived in Lan Garden, although she had never been there before.
Just before entering Lan Garden, Tao Tian said, "This is one of Jinling’s famous upscale neighborhoods; I’ve always wanted to come in and see what it’s like."
"Thanks to you, I finally got in."
Zhou Yuwen feigned sleep, not speaking at all.
Once Tao Tian parked, Zhou Yuwen said, "It’s getting late now, you might as well just take my car back to campus."
"The security guards recognize my car; they won’t stop you."
Tao Tian’s slender, bony fingers rhythmically tapped on the steering wheel. Clearly, managing to successfully drive the car back had filled her with a sense of achievement.
She leaned on the steering wheel, looking interestedly at Zhou Yuwen, and said with a laugh, "I finally bring you here, and this is how you treat me?"
"Is girlfriend time over?" she asked, turning her head with a rather mischievous air.
In fact, as soon as she entered the neighborhood, Tao Tian had expressed her desire to visit Zhou Yuwen’s home. Zhou Yuwen initially wanted to be vague, but now he could only state plainly, "Yanyan is upstairs."
Tao Tian, who had been happy, visibly stiffened at these words, her smile fading into a look of disappointment: "Oh, so girlfriend time really is over."
Seeing Tao Tian like this, Zhou Yuwen felt somewhat guilty. He said, "She’s usually not here; I just haven’t spent much time with her lately, I had to come today."
"Let’s pick another day, I’ll bring you to my place specially to visit."
Tao Tian then asked, "What status should I come with then?"
Zhou Yuwen said, "What status do you want to come with?"
"Whatever you want, I guess."
The two sat in silence in the car for a while. Tao Tian didn’t say she was leaving, and Zhou Yuwen felt embarrassed to get out of the car.
And so they sat for a while longer.
Tears suddenly started forming in Tao Tian’s eyes, and she began to cry softly.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuwen stretched out his hand and patted her back, asking what was wrong.
Tao Tian wiped her tears and said with a hurt expression, "I just feel..."
"I feel a bit unlike myself..."
Zhou Yuwen’s car had tissues, and he handed some to Tao Tian to wipe her tears, but her tears seemed to come more abundantly. Her eyes, brimmed with tears and reddened, painted a pitiful sight.
Zhou Yuwen gently patted her back and whispered in her ear not to cry.
However, Tao Tian’s sobs grew louder; she said that ever since she met Zhou Yuwen, she felt less and less like herself.
"This is the last time, the last time I cry for you; never again," Tao Tian said with red eyes.
Zhou Yuwen patted her back, blaming himself,
It’s my fault.
I’m not a good man.
"Tiantian, my senior, you are a good girl; honestly, you have better options."
"But why, why must I choose you?"
There was a plaintive tone in Tao Tian’s voice. She said she didn’t know when it started, maybe it was from the night she first met him,
when he was playing guitar and singing in the sports field.
Or perhaps it was when he appeared in the arts department, holding Zheng Yanyan’s hand.
At that time, she felt, he was unlike any other freshman.
Later, we from the dorm were all led by you to work part-time,
rushing around like a big house steward."
"Back then, all the girls from the dorm liked you; we’d talk about you behind your back, saying how handsome and talented you were," Tao Tian said, seeming a bit more energized, and even chuckled as she talked.
Her delicate hands had light pink transparent nail polish, her eyes, which had been red from crying, brightened as she continued to speak, and she couldn’t help but laugh.
She kept on saying, really, all the girls in our dormitory liked you,
saying you didn’t seem like a freshman at all, but more like a big brother taking care of us.
Zhou Yuwen smiled and just quietly listened to Tao Tian appraise him, then asked, "What about you? Did you see me as a big brother too?"
"Me?"
Tao Tian thought for a moment and then said, "I think...
I started to like you when you handed me a band-aid."
"A band-aid?"
This, for Zhou Yuwen, was trivial; he had even forgotten the incident.
But Tao Tian remembered these small details; she said it was the first time they worked part-time, and Zhou Yuwen mentioned that wearing high heels could hurt the heels, so he bought some band-aids.
At that point, Tao Tian felt embarrassed, adding: "I still keep them."

Zhou Yuwen chuckled upon hearing this, "You kept that too."
"Yeah."
Zhou Yuwen watched Tao Tian without saying a word as she asked if he was making fun of her again.
