Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 252 - "I Like You
Chapter 252: Chapter 252 “I Like You
Her roommate was still telling Ji Yuqiao about the information she had gathered, like seeing Wen Li going to the library with another boy and hearing directly from a classmate working in Xiao Yu’s studio that they had broken up…
“Rumors are spreading like wildfire around the school, I think most of them are true.”
“You have been hoping for so long, haven’t you always been waiting for them to break up? Now is your chance!”
“I’ve found out for you, Xiao Yu has been invited by the teachers from his department to give a small lecture at the school about entrepreneurship. Just sneak in then…” Her roommate was endlessly chatting to Ji Yuqiao.
“No need, I’m no longer interested in him,” Ji Yuqiao’s voice sounded indifferent.
Her roommate stopped mid-sentence, not finishing her thought. “What… what?”
“I said I no longer like him, and you don’t need to tell me anything about him anymore,” Ji Yuqiao said.
Her roommate was stunned. “Ah? No longer like him? Why…”
Ji Yuqiao cut her off, “The teacher is here, let’s focus on the lecture.”
Her roommate glanced at the stern-looking teacher on the podium and reluctantly closed her mouth, dropping the idea of gossiping further.
First, there were two English classes, followed by two advanced mathematics classes. Many students in the classroom had already lost concentration, some sleeping, others playing with their phones…
Her roommate yawned. Just as she was about to lay her head down to sleep, she caught sight of Ji Yuqiao attentively listening to the lecture and was momentarily taken aback.
Suddenly, she felt like Ji Yuqiao had changed.
Previously in class, Ji Yuqiao would either inquire about Xiao Yu with them or be incessantly texting Xiao Yu on her phone, sometimes even skipping class to visit him at his part-time job.
But now, all those behaviors were gone.
She had become like a model student, solely focused on her studies.
Watching Ji Yuqiao taking notes intently, her roommate straightened up from her leaning position and couldn’t help but pick up her pen to start taking notes as well.

An hour passed, and the bell rang for the end of the class.
After saying this, Xiao Yu seemed relieved, the panic and hesitation in his eyes receded, his expression fiercely determined, “I’m not joking, I’m serious.”
Ji Yuqiao’s shock gradually returned to calm, her gaze towards him now contained a mixture of complexity.
How ridiculous.
She used to like him so much, and he couldn’t have been more avoidant.
She had suffered so much, nearly bankrupting her brother’s company over it, and now that she had finally let go, he was telling her he liked her.
Ji Yuqiao tugged at the corner of her lips, revealing a hint of mockery, “So what?”
“What?”
“You like me, so what?” Ji Yuqiao’s tone was scornful, “You’re not expecting me to be overcome with gratitude, thanking you for confessing, and to be with you, are you?”
“I didn’t mean that, I just wanted to tell you how I feel.” Xiao Yu quickly explained, “I know I’ve disappointed you before, I will…”
“Not disappointed, disgusted.” Ji Yuqiao corrected him.
Xiao Yu’s body stiffened, his face suddenly turning unpleasant, “I, I will strive to make it up to you, until you forgive me.”
“Give it up, I will never forgive you. Just like you told me before, you said even if humanity went extinct, you wouldn’t like me. I feel the same, even if humanity goes extinct, I would never like you.” After saying this, Ji Yuqiao turned away emotionlessly and left.
Xiao Yu’s fingertips trembled slightly, bitterness brewing in his heart, churning ceaselessly no matter how hard he tried to suppress it.
Inexplicably.
He suddenly resented his past self for hurting Ji Yuqiao, for saying he’d “never like her.”
If he hadn’t done that, would the outcome now be different?
Xiao Yu shifted his feet, wanting to chase after her and retain her, but his legs were as if frozen, unable to move.
Until Ji Yuqiao’s figure disappeared from his sight, he awkwardly tugged at the corner of his lips, forcing a self-mocking smile.
Swallowing back all the bitterness and pain that were cresting up his throat, he dragged his heavy steps, walking towards the school gate step by step.
