"That day, you also came to Xiaoao Mountain to bring me money for medicine. You must have heard what I said at the end."
Zhao Jing's brow relaxed slightly. "I did indeed hear you."
"Since you heard, you should know that he and I have cleared the air completely. We have nothing to do with each other anymore; we're just strangers. He's probably here in the Prefecture for the Provincial Examination, not because he knew I was here and came specifically to see me. You know all this. So, what are you so jealous about?"
Having his jealousy called out, Zhao Jing felt neither embarrassed nor ashamed.
He *was* jealous.
Not only was he jealous, he was insanely so.
"During all those years I could only admire you from afar, he almost married you. Whenever I think about that, I just can't get over it."
Chen Wanqing's heart stirred at his words. But, "Jing, you were engaged to Wanyue back then. For you to be thinking of me wasn't fair to Wanyue."
