Chapter 8, no matter what, as long as you are willing to stay by my side, that is enough

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Yujia's淡蓝色 eyes gazed deeply at her, the expression as confused and earnest as that of a child: "Will it?"

Under the moonlight like water, the carefully nurtured roses bloom in abundance. A gentle breeze wafts by, and the fragrance of the roses instantly permeates the lungs

All illusions and phantoms vanished in an instant

Jing Xuan was momentarily taken aback; she seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to understand. However, she ultimately nodded and said: "Uncle, we are still studying, and I will absolutely not do anything that would let my family down or disgrace the school's reputation."

The smooth floor reflects a tranquil glow, surrounded by enormous transparent glass windows, where the afterglow of the setting sun flickers, warm and bright

I will go with you

A black Bentley drove past her, its tires rolling straight over a muddy puddle on the ground, splashing high droplets of water that flew onto her. She came to her senses in a daze, her skirt covered in mud, looking utterly disheveled, a chill spreading from her calves to her entire body

Yu Jiaxi extended his hand, unable to restrain himself as he grasped Jingxuan's delicate palm. The skin made contact, and their body temperatures were exchanged. In that instant, Yu Jiaxi's heart suddenly fluttered, and a vast expanse of tenderness bloomed in his eyes like flowers. He gazed deeply at her, his hands gradually tightening their grip.

Jing Xuan, filled with deep concern, rushed to his back and embraced him tightly

It is difficult to express the feelings in my heart. Jiaxi, what are you doing now? ... Are you with Ou Yiqian? ...

However, soon, Ou Yiqian discussed with the classmate sitting in front of Yu Jiaxi, and after she said a few words, that classmate gladly gave up their seat for her

Yujunming and Jingxuan found themselves amidst a cluster of roses

He did not speak, and Yu Junming took it as a tacit agreement. He sat down beside him, gazing at the distant trees, with faint lines at the corners of his eyes: "Father and son, we have never sat side by side like this before, if we could continue sitting like this, it would indeed be quite nice"

Jingxuan appeared much calmer, comforting Xiaotan: "Xiaotan, don't be angry, this has nothing to do with us."

Jingxuan extended her hand, gently caressing his soft hair, her fingertips flowing with strands of affection. She parted her lips slightly and softly hummed a lullaby. In the dark night, her voice seemed to be enchanted, so soothing and melodious, gradually transporting this wondrous night into a heavenly realm

Jingxuan stared blankly at her

Time stands still eternally

On a Sunday morning, sunlight streamed through the glass window into the room, and beneath a window that had a hole in it, the sunlight flickered on the scattered shards of glass on the floor

She trembled as she shouted: "Jiaxi, please don't..."

A look of astonishment burst forth from Jingxuan's eyes

Yu Jiaxi stared blankly as she pulled her hand away, turning around to look at her as if he had never known her, gazing at her intently...

Jing Xuan watched others glide past her with ease, hesitation glimmering in her clear eyes. She slightly tilted her head to look at Yu Jiaxi and said, "I really can't skate..."

Regardless of anything, as long as you are willing to stay by my side, that is enough

There was no hint of warning in Yu Jiaxi's voice; instead, it carried a touch of sweetness.

Jingxuan sighed helplessly: "What else can I do?" How could I not worry, how could I not be afraid...? Although there are various possibilities, what else can I do besides believing?

"Son, please let me finish what I have to say," Yu Junming's voice trembled slightly as he spoke. "Do you know? Yiqian is the daughter of the person your mother liked in her lifetime. I have always thought that if your mother were to see her son with that person's daughter, she would surely feel comforted—because you have fulfilled her wish.

Yu Jiaxi's expression was as calm as that of a sculpture, showing no response

Scalding tears finally could no longer be restrained, and the overwhelming flood of tears blurred her vision, yet the feeling of heartache was exceptionally clear

The rear window of the black Bentley was lowered two-thirds, revealing the slightly turned profile of Yu Jiaxi, who was looking at the beautiful girl beside him, as if he were whispering something.

Yu Jiaxi smiled without speaking, gently pulling her forward. Often, just as she was about to fall, he would swiftly catch her with lightning speed. Each time, she would grasp him in shock, while he only smiled more brightly.

In the restroom

He is asking her to stay by his side? To never leave? ... She is still dreaming, isn't she? She hasn't woken up at all, it's just a dream ...

Realizing the error in his words, Yu Junming quickly made amends: "That is not what I meant. If we are to speak of misfortune, it is your mother’s misfortune. I have always wanted to compensate her, from the very beginning I wished to make amends, but it seems there has never been an opportunity, and whatever I do is wrong"

A gentle breeze brushed against their bodies

Jingxuan pretended to be indifferent as she took out her books, placing the materials and textbooks needed for the upcoming class on the table. She made a concerted effort to keep herself busy, unable to afford the distraction of other thoughts.

Class 2 (1) once again became the center of attention in this school, with many male students wanting to transfer to this class through connections. Soon, the name Ou Yiqian spread throughout the campus

Jing Xuan subconsciously stepped aside to make way for the small groups of students walking to the roadside, then unintentionally glanced back at the source of the horn sound—a luxurious and elegant black Bentley was slowly approaching

After that class meeting, on the rooftop of the teaching building, he stood at the edge of the roof, arms wide open, ready to fly to heaven at any moment

Xiao Tan glanced at her, a knowing light in her eyes: "After this experience, you will surely love him even more, right"

A few droplets of water fell on Jingxuan's cheek, cool and refreshing, yet she remained completely unaware

The sunlight silently moved towards the center of the room and the books, falling upon the tightly closed eyes of the young boy. The bright light caused his long eyelashes to flutter slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

The grassland is lush and picturesque

The black Bentley gradually disappeared from her sight

After a long while, he gently nodded his head

The increasing pressure in his palm inadvertently disturbed Jingxuan, who was deep in slumber. She suddenly opened her eyes, and upon meeting his incredibly gentle gaze, she was momentarily taken aback, followed immediately by a blush that crept onto her cheeks.

They first met in the KTV, and when the enraged girl lunged at Jiaxi with a knife, he showed no intention of dodging at all

He is as quiet as this

"This is merely your one-sided wish." Yu Jiaxi's voice was as cold as frost

A wave of sighs immediately arose from the crowd

At that moment, she felt both envious and sad

In a little over ten minutes, the Otaku Garden

This feeling of being needed is truly wonderful

But Yu Jiaxi held on tighter, his voice deep and powerful: "Stay by my side, and never leave me."

Jingxuan answered almost without thinking: "Is there still a difference now? I like them all!"

Jingxuan gently tilted her face up, her slender fingers softly caressing his sorrowful brow: "However, the Jiaxi from just now has already died; from this moment on, it is a brand new you! From now on, I will accompany you as we walk towards an incredibly bright future together"

Of course, " Jingxuan replied confidently, " but I must first help Jiaxi tuck in the quilt, otherwise he will catch a cold. " After saying this, she hugged the quilt and strode towards the second floor

She is so close to him, it seems as if she is right outside the window, smiling and waving at him...

Jingxuan frowned slightly, her mood in disarray, and she retorted sharply, "Why do you care about me! My skirt is wet, what does it have to do with you!"

When they returned to the classroom, Yu Jiaxi was already seated in her place

"Yu Jiaxi?" Liu Cheng stared at her in disbelief, "Is that the strange guy who acts like an iceberg all day?"

The young man stood quietly in the center of the room, as solitary as a sculpture

Yu Jiaxi expressionlessly removed the petal from her face, gently pinching it in her palm, and sat up from the lawn

After warming up in the venue, Ou Yiqian gracefully glided over to them. She smiled at the two and said, "Why aren't you playing? How about we play together?"

Jingxuan stood silently beside for a moment, then suddenly said softly: "Xiaotan, Ouyiqian has really transferred to our school."

Xiao Tan angrily said: "What do you mean it has nothing to do with us? She is now openly trying to steal your boyfriend! Does she have no shame anymore!"

Yu Junming shook his head and let out a sigh: "You need not comfort me; I deserve this."

In just three days, countless love letters have piled up on her desk, and the most sensational confession occurred that afternoon

"Go back and change the dress!" Yu Jiaxi raised her voice, as if issuing a command that must be executed

Her voice was low, yet filled with burning emotions: "Jiaxi, please live, please make sure to live well! The suffering of the past is behind us, from now on, you will definitely be happy, I will make you happy... because I love you! I am willing to give you the whole world, my entire world!"

A hint of hesitation flashed in Yu Jiaxi's淡蓝色 eyes, yet she vaguely felt that what she said made sense, and the steps she was about to take came to a halt.

Jingxuan looked back at him steadily, nodding firmly, her lips curling into a gentle, watery smile: "I will."

Almost at the same time, otaku

Last night, it rained continuously until morning. The rain washed the grass and trees along the way clean, and glistening droplets of water slid down the lush green leaves. A gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves to tremble slightly, and the water droplets rolled down a few times before falling straight down

In Yu Jiaxi's淡蓝色 eyes filled with confidence, she raised her hand to tousle her hair and said, "Aren't I here? I'll teach you."

In Ou Yiqian's smile, a hint of coldness suddenly emerged: "Please do not speak of him in such a manner. The more you belittle him, the more you lower yourself to an even lower level. For, in every aspect, you do not measure up to even a single finger of his."

Xiao Tan gazed at her with increasingly profound eyes and said meaningfully: "I know that at first, you were attracted to him because of Jia Xi's eyes. But do you know whether you truly like Su Junhao's substitute or Yu Jiaxi?"

Standing in the corridor, at a glance, all the rooms appeared similar. Jingxuan held her breath nervously as she passed one room after another, the closed doors making her chest feel suffocated.

Liu Cheng's face turned pale, and he stood rigidly upright: "What are you saying? How dare you compare me to that useless person? This is too much!"

The popularity of Ou Yiqian is beyond doubt

Faced with Yu Jiaxi's deep gaze, Ou Yiqian's face flashed with a hint of shyness, yet she still smiled graciously and greeted them, "Hello, Uncle Yu." After greeting Yu Junming, her pair of eyes sparkled with joy as she fixed her gaze on Yu Jiaxi, as if they were familiar friends, and affectionately said to him, "Jiaxi, I will soon be transferring to the high school you attend. Can I go to school with you on Monday?"

When Jingxuan walked into the classroom, the first to notice her disheveled appearance was Xiaotan. She widened her eyes and almost exclaimed, "Jingxuan, did you fall into a mud pit?"

Yujunming's footsteps came to a halt beside him, backlit by the sunlight, his gaze complex as he stared at him, his voice cautious and low: "Can we talk about it?"

Night falls

Yu Jiaxi wearily closed his eyes. Jing Xuan, however, was so heartbroken that she could not fall asleep; she gazed intently at his handsome face from close range, listening to his even breathing

The corners of Yu Jiaxi's mouth curved into a gentle arc as he extended his warm palm to grasp her hand: "Trust me, come."

After being forced to skate with her for a while, Yu Jiaxi could not shake off the thoughts of Jingxuan, frequently glancing in the direction where Jingxuan had just left, hoping to see her figure reappear in the skating rink

Indeed. Jingxuan took a deep breath, her delicate features revealing determination, "But uncle, rest assured, such things will absolutely not happen again in the future!"

Yu Jiaxi looked at her sternly and said, "Yan Jingxuan, do you not have even a little bit of courage to face challenges? The you of the past was not like you are now"

After school that day, Jingxuan made a great effort to suppress her somewhat gloomy feelings deep within her heart, cherishing every moment spent with Jiaxi without any distractions in her mind

"Leave! I will naturally leave!" Liu Cheng retreated while narrowing his eyes dangerously, "But remember, the humiliation of today, I will repay it double!"

Yu Jiaxi's steps came to a halt, stunned for a moment, his light blue eyes dimmed, losing all their luster, as if he had fallen from the clouds. He knelt on the ground, overwhelmed by such sadness and despair, feeling utterly defeated and powerless.

Jingxuan stared blankly at her for a moment, her complexion gradually turning pale, a tangled pain rising from within her heart. At first, she was indeed captivated by those identical light blue eyes, but after such a long period of interaction, she had come to understand that her feelings for Jiaxi were different from her longing and attachment to her brother Su Junhao.

The sunlight outside poured over her beautiful figure, dazzlingly bright

When the news that Ou Yiqian publicly expressed her affection for Yu Jiaxi spread like wildfire throughout the school, Xiao Tan could no longer contain her anger and slammed her hand on the table: "This is truly shameless! This woman refuses to accept someone's pursuit, yet insists on being someone else's third party, and shamelessly makes it public!"

If you are not obedient again, the same punishment will apply

Oh! No problem! Yu Junming immediately instructed the servant beside him, "Xiao Liu, quickly go and fetch a quilt for Miss Yan."

Xiao Tan's sudden appearance and stern questioning made Ou Yiqian feel somewhat embarrassed: "I apologize, I didn't notice earlier. I just sat down because it was next to Jiaxi. Is this your seat?"

"What a beautiful thought!" Jingxuan's ears turned warm, clearly forgetting where she was. She suddenly pushed Jiaxi, but not only did she fail to push him, her own body lost balance first and nearly fell backward.

Without the support, Jingxuan's body instinctively trembled. She subconsciously wanted to move closer to him to lessen her fear, but he remained at a distance from her.

Ou Yiqian looked out at the campus scenery with a face full of joy, her radiant smile shining like the stars

"Will you catch a cold like that?" The concern and seriousness in Yu Jiaxi's tone shattered Jingxuan's efforts to remain calm. A bit petulantly, she replied, "How would I know? It would be better if I caught a cold."

Ah ... ...

It now appears that death was, in fact, the goal he had long anticipated; for him, it was a grand event he yearned for

Jingxuan tugged at the dirty hem of her skirt with some embarrassment, a hint of bitterness appearing at the corners of her mouth: "It's about right."

"Oh dear, how dirty! Hurry up and wash it! I'll go with you!" Xiao Tan took the backpack from Jing Xuan's hand and placed it on her seat, then grabbed her hand and walked out of the classroom. Just before leaving the classroom, Jing Xuan couldn't help but glance back at the empty seat beside her.

As soon as Yu Jiaxi's words fell, Jingxuan's kiss swept across his lips like a shooting star, bringing with it a fragrance reminiscent of flowers, enveloping him completely

He suddenly extended his finger and struck her forehead with force

Liu Cheng, a boy from the neighboring class, knelt on one knee at the entrance of the teaching building of Class 2 (1) with a large bouquet of roses in his hands, remaining in that position until the end of the school day, waiting for Ou Yiqian to pass by with her backpack...

At that moment, he was surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. Under their watchful gaze, he raised the rose in his hand and said: "Yiqian, from the first moment I saw you, my heart has only beat for you; from the very first instant I laid eyes on you, you have been deeply embedded in my heart; without seeing you, I find no joy in food and cannot sleep at night... My princess, please go out with me! I will always treat you well and make you the happiest woman in the world!"

Jiaxi, where are you? ... Where are you, where are you ...

He slowly walked towards the window step by step, getting closer and closer...

His voice was filled with sorrow, calling out again and again, like a lost and desperate child, unable to be rescued by anyone but his mother

That is not what I meant, you misunderstood. I just transferred to this school today and am not familiar with everything here. Jiaxi is the only person I know, and I would like to sit next to him so that I can ask him questions whenever I do not understand something

The room is quiet. She feels a strange sense of satisfaction within her.

In her mind, there was only one thought: she would soon see Jiaxi! Her mood was exceptionally bright as she walked through the school gates, filled with anticipation, amidst the crowd

The sky outside is filled with twinkling and dazzling stars. The night breeze blows quietly through the imperial garden, sneaking into the room, and a faint fragrance permeates the air, rich and melancholic

His blurred, sorrowful face was reflected on the transparent glass window

She barely had time to think, before she picked up the decorative vase from beside the door and hurled it forcefully towards the glass window

The quieter the surroundings became, the clearer her thoughts grew, as memories flooded into her mind one after another

In the silent space, he suddenly murmured, his voice childlike, pure and helpless. In his hollow gaze, a face strikingly similar to his own suddenly materialized, "You are here to take me away, aren't you? You won't abandon me, will you..."

A melodious female voice, reminiscent of a yellow oriole emerging from the valley, suddenly resonated within the ice skating rink

The sunlight shimmered like a sprite, filling the room and casting a layer of dreamy colors.

After Xiaotan helped Jingxuan wipe the dirty stains off the hem of her skirt, she turned on the faucet, and water gushed out. She focused intently on washing her hands

Yujunming was completely enveloped in the shadows of the night, his voice filled with sorrow: "Until today, I never knew that Jiaxi actually hated me this much"

Ou Yiqian looked at him, took two steps closer, gently reached out to take the rose from his hand, smelled it, and with a faint smile said: "It smells wonderful and is very beautiful, thank you"

Oh, you are also ice skating

Yujunming, however, did not mind; he was already content to speak quietly with this younger son. Thus, he continued, "You are luckier than I am... It is evident that that girl truly likes you."

A glimmer of joy flashed in Liu Cheng's eyes, but she then heard her say: "However—I'm sorry, I now have someone I deeply care for, just like you, so I cannot accept you."

"Trust me, don't be afraid. If you learn it, I will reward you." Yu Jiaxi promised her with tempting conditions

She avoided the gazes of the two, not knowing where her sudden courage came from. She took the initiative to release Yu Jiaxi's hand and staggered step by step towards the exit.

Ou Yiqian was also unwilling to be evasive, and said candidly and straightforwardly: "Yujiaxi."

The fire in Xiaotan's chest was immediately ignited: "Do you have to give way to this position just because you need it? Why should I! Is it because you have money at home? Or is it because you are good-looking?"

Yu Jiaxi gazed at him with deep eyes and said: "Is encountering your mother your misfortune?"

However, with her having such intentions and thoughts, what can we do? In fact, all you need to do is continue to stand by my side and support me, right? Moreover, I believe in Jiaxi

Jingxuan's little Tan saw this scene and her eyes immediately widened. She strode over to Ou Yiqian with an imposing demeanor and coldly questioned, "What are you doing sitting here? This seat is already taken!"

You ... ... "" Yu Jiaxi glared at Jingxuan anxiously

The school's ice skating rink

Yu Jiaxi suddenly froze, slowly recalling the face of that girl in his mind. She was the daughter of someone his mother liked? If his mother successfully married that person, then the girl might just be his sister

Xiao Tan's expression darkened: "Yes, if you continue to be vague, sooner or later you will hurt Yu Jiaxi, and it will be more serious than any other harm!"

Wow! It hurts! You bad guy!" Jingxuan covered her forehead in pain, pouting in grievance, the earlier imposing demeanor completely vanished.

The first day of the new week

His heart was stirred, and at that moment—at the edge of the grass not far away—Ou Yiqian, dressed in a light pink chiffon gown, walked gracefully towards him, her light figure resembling a butterfly, with movements that were elegant and natural

In that case, Yan Jingxuan, I will not allow you to leave me again

In the dark of night, his淡蓝色 eyes瞬间 emitted a光芒, a光芒 of希望 for解脱, a光芒 that yearned to cast aside everything

The two individuals appear to be somewhat tired, lying quietly on the floor facing each other

Jingxuan also stood up defiantly, meeting his gaze: "I told you, I told you! What do you think?"

I just want to tell you that the reason I introduced Yi Qian to you is that I want to make amends for your mother's actions. Yu Junming finally got to the point and mentioned what he truly wanted to express. This is also why he had the driver take Jing Xuan and Xiao Tan away in advance. If they were here, he would not be able to discuss this matter with his son, and moreover, Ou Yi Qian would inadvertently lose the opportunity to get close to his son.

Jingxuan's expression gradually darkened, and she weakly said: "I just saw them coming to school together in a car."

Seeing her not respond, Yu Jiaxi felt an inexplicable anxiety rising within him, and his palms began to sweat slightly: "Even if... if I have to take Su Junhao's place, I don't mind. You can treat me as Su Junhao, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't leave me, always by my side—never abandoning or betraying me"

Jingxuan's eyes sparkled with a happiness and warmth akin to sunlight: "I have always liked him, you know."

Ou Yiqian seemed completely unconcerned, her smile youthful and lively. She waved her soft arms, dancing around him in circles like a butterfly

In the dark night, the glass shattered with a sound, countless fragments scattered across the ground, and the cold moonlight cast upon the transparent glass shards, with countless cold lights flickering silently

A trace of anger inexplicably arose in Yu Jiaxi's heart: "Do not use Mom as an excuse!"

Ou Yiqian let out a sigh: "Ah, what a pity, ice skating with friends is a joy, but playing alone is not fun. Jingxuan, you must learn quickly, otherwise, Jiaxi will have a hard time."

The warm sunlight of late spring gently falls, and the air is exceptionally fresh

Yu Junming stood up with a heavy expression, gazing deeply at Jingxuan: "Miss Yan, could you come downstairs to talk with me for a moment?"

Why didn't Yu Jiaxi come down with you?

Yujia Xi fixed her gaze upon her, her light blue eyes as deep as a lake

Seeing her able to skate by herself, Yu Jiaxi could not hide his joy. Just as he was about to quickly follow her, Ou Yiqian pulled him back and whispered, "Let her skate on her own; the first thing she needs to learn is independence"

Jingxuan's heart tightened as she looked up at her good friend: "It's not that serious, perhaps Jiaxi just happened to come over with Ouyi Qian, since Ouyi Qian is currently staying at his house."

Under the tassel-like crystal chandelier

Xiao Tan's hand froze in the act of washing, as the water from the faucet flowed over her gradually clenched fist: "Jing Xuan, you must be careful and keep an eye on Jia Xi. The methods of that kind of woman are not ordinary! That night, seeing the way she looked at Yu Jia Xi, it was clear that she has an interest in Jia Xi!"

The room was momentarily enveloped in profound silence, as if it had undergone a lengthy cycle of reincarnation

Jingxuan's expression instantly turned to stone, and her body became rigid

However, this is truly a beautiful and enchanting dream. Is it possible to never wake up from it?

Xiao Tan immediately wore a look of gritted teeth: "If Yu Jiaxi dares to betray you, I will never forgive him!"

He is asleep," Jingxuan said as she shifted her gaze to Yujunming beside her. "Uncle, I would like to take the quilt upstairs to cover Jiaxi.

Yujia Xi fixed her gaze on her as she slowly approached. This girl's father is the person her mother admires, so he must be a very outstanding person...

Oh—" Ouyiqian responded with disappointment, then broke into a gracious smile, "It's alright, I'll ask other classmates to see if I can switch it.

Jingxuan lowered her gaze and shook her head: "He didn't see me."

As soon as Ou Yiqian finished speaking, Jing Xuan pulled the anxious Xiao Tan over and calmly faced Ou Yiqian: "I apologize, but I have been sitting in this position for quite some time and have grown accustomed to it. I do not wish to change."

She stood blankly by the roadside

On the lush green lawn, a young boy dressed in a white shirt lies quietly, while the tree behind him is adorned with numerous small white flowers. Occasionally, a few petals swirl down gently, landing softly on his eyelashes

Jingxuan's movements stiffened for a moment, then she busied herself again, whispering: "It's nothing, I accidentally got it dirty on the way, I've already washed it with water."

Jingxuan calmly gazed at him: "Uncle, I am not trying to comfort you. The reason I say this is based on a summary of past events. Although Jiaxi's thoughts are very extreme, his previous desire to rely on others to end his life is the best proof. Perhaps he also did not wish for his father to bear such a sin."

At this moment, everyone is seated in the spacious living room

She rushed through the restaurant, holding the hem of her royal blue long dress, like a beam of vibrant light, and dashed up to the second floor

Indeed, Yu Jiaxi echoed, "Jingxuan is too slow-witted; if she can't learn any more, I won't care about you anymore." His intention was to motivate Jingxuan, but her heart sank instead. In a fit of pique, she said, "You all go ahead and play; I'm tired and want to take a break."

Immediately afterward, Ou Yiqian suddenly grabbed his hand: "Jiaxi, please play with me for a while."

She instinctively wanted to pull her hand away from his tight grip

Jing Xuan cast a deep and profound glance at her. After Ou Yiqian moved the books aside, she returned to her own seat. Her expression was淡淡, revealing no discernible emotion.

Jingxuan pouted in displeasure: "You are truly despicable!"

Xiao Tan sighed, saying: "I never expected that someone as indifferent as Yu Jiaxi would actually harbor such a sorrowful secret within. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that it has shaped his current personality."

Yujia sensed the breath of another person nearby with keen sensitivity. He slightly turned his head, and in his lake-like light blue eyes, a girl's serene sleeping face was immediately reflected. The bright sunlight illuminated her face, her skin as tender as that of a newborn baby, evoking an irresistible desire to cherish her

His voice carried a feather-like encouragement, and quietly, Jingxuan's footsteps began to glide along with him without her even realizing it

"What happened to your skirt?" asked Yujiaxi, who was standing beside her.

After Yu Jiaxi fell asleep, Jingxuan quietly got up from the floor and walked towards the door, her long sapphire blue skirt gliding lightly over the ground like a cloud

In the center of the room, two young figures lie quietly side by side on the clean oak floor

Standing at the doorstep, watching the black Bentley gradually fade away, Jingxuan and Xiaotan stood in a daze. In just one day, it seemed as if the colors of the world had changed, and the world itself was no longer the same.

And on that occasion beneath the ginkgo tree, the sharp edge of Su Junhao's knife had already grazed the skin on his neck, yet he remained remarkably calm

Jingxuan withdrew her gaze from the small window, her eyes dimmed with sorrow. After a moment of daze, she turned and walked away slowly, her slender figure exuding a profound sense of loneliness

She exclaimed in surprise, her complexion slightly changing, and her delicate hands instinctively flailed in the air. Yu Jiaxi quickly reached out to support her body, a hint of a smile dancing in his eyes, "You were so wicked to push me, now you have received your comeuppance."

Jingxuan, disregarding the danger, curiously asked with her bright, sparkling eyes: "What reward is it?"

"Miss Yan, thanks to you." Behind Yu Junming, Butler Mu smiled knowingly, his eyes narrowing with joy.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a familiar figure entered his line of sight

Xiao Tan opened her mouth but had not yet answered, when Ou Yiqian smiled and asked: "I wonder if I could have this spot for a moment? I really need this position!"

Liu Cheng's expression suddenly froze, and his voice trembled: "Who do you like?"

Yu Jiaxi stared blankly with her light blue eyes, the sweet sensation of her lips touching still lingering, but it suddenly faded away, leaving only a faint and elusive fragrance at the tip of her nose

Xiao Tan bit her lip, her eyes shining with a sharp light: "I hope he is just passing by."

Time moves forward, second by second

Jingxuan pondered for a moment: "... ... That may not necessarily be the case."

However, she had fallen before, and the pain from that experience left her without the courage to try again

After having lunch, Jingxuan and Xiaotan were sent home by the Yu family's driver under the arrangement of Yu Junming

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Yu Junming found it inappropriate to continue clarifying. He gently patted Jingxuan's shoulder in approval and fell silent.

Ou Yiqian looked at him with a cold expression: "In the future, I do not wish to hear any more bad words about Yu Jiaxi, please do not stand in my way"

However, when she saw someone rushing towards her, Jingxuan was terrified and dared not move. Yujiaxi was her only support, and she clutched him tightly, pitifully saying: "Jiaxi, please don't slide, okay? I was not born with any athletic talent..."

Jingxuan then smiled and said: "Jiaxi is fine, I will take care of him, you don't need to worry."

Her smile is as beautiful as a flower

Jingxuan smiled at her reassuringly: "I am fine, and Jiaxi is fine now"

"I used to learn how to skate, but I never managed to master it..." Jingxuan still hesitated

Xiao Tan thought for a moment and felt that she had a point, but she couldn't help but cast a skeptical glance at her: "Right now, you are just blinded by your emotions, only knowing to believe in him, believe in him!"

Yu Jiaxi coldly shifted his gaze away, looking ahead: "Is it useful to say these things now?"

Jing Xuan stared at him in a daze, seemingly in disbelief

Suddenly, a long blast of a horn sounded from behind.

Thank you, Jingxuan. Yu Jiaxi extended his long and strong arm, unable to restrain himself as he embraced her, under the hazy moonlight, their bodies tightly intertwined, warming each other. Feeling the affectionate and enchanting warmth radiating from each other's bodies, they only wished to melt together forever, never to part again

Yujunming's voice trembled slightly, almost whispering as he repeated: "Has he always wanted to die at the hands of others?"

"Yes, but I have always believed that he is a kind person," Jingxuan said softly.

She kept silently reciting these words in her heart until she arrived in front of a certain door. Suddenly, she came to a halt. The door remained tightly closed, but she had a strong premonition that Jiaxi was inside! After a moment's pause, she gently pushed the door open with force.

The familiar car brought a smile to Jingxuan's face, and as she raised her hand to wave at the person inside the car, her slender arm froze in mid-air

Indeed, the worst is yet to come. Yu Jiaxi's lips curled into a smile as he held her tightly, yet his body gradually distanced itself from hers

In this scene, Ou Yiqian appeared to be oblivious, diligently organizing her books with her head down, yet beneath her delicate long eyelashes, her eyes had long since lost their luster.

This is not an excuse, I truly want to atone for my sins

Yu Jiaxi alluringly curled her lips and leaned down to whisper in her ear: "What reward do you want? A kiss?"

Yujiaxi did not see her

A peculiar emotion quietly blossomed in the depths of Yu Jiaxi's heart. How many lonely nights had he not slept so peacefully and comfortably? As long as she was by his side, he could fall into a deep sleep... whether at school or last night in this home that filled him with fear

Mom, why don't you take me with you

The room was empty, as if no one had lived there for a long time. The cold, watery moonlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, casting a veil of mist over his entire body, and in the hazy dimness, a sense of despair emerged.

"You can play by yourself." Yu Jiaxi's hand was always supporting Jingxuan, "I must first teach Jingxuan."

In Yu Jiaxi's eyes, a glimmer of moisture appeared as he scrutinized Jingxuan with suspicion, shaking his head: "It won't happen, no matter what, fear and sorrow will not come to an end"

Xiao Tan seemed to have captured her melancholy, a look of triumph flashed across her face, she pursed her lips and chuckled softly, and her once anxious heart was momentarily at ease

Yu Jiaxi's expression instantly turned cold as he stood up and glared at her: "Yan Jingxuan, try speaking to me in that tone again!"

Yu Jiaxi and Jingxuan looked over at the same time—only to see Ou Yiqian's tall figure gracefully gliding into the venue like a butterfly. Her movements were skillful, effortlessly executing several intricate dance moves within the space.

Mother

Xiao Tan was feeling a bit anxious, sitting restlessly on the vintage sofa. When she saw Jing Xuan coming down from the second floor safe and sound, she let out a long sigh of relief, stood up from the sofa, and walked over to greet her, her expression still filled with concern. She quietly asked, "I just heard a lot of noise upstairs. Are you alright? I really wanted to come up and check, but Butler Mu said that anyone other than you appearing would only make things worse. Only you can help Jia Xi."

Jing Xuan stepped back to her original position, her cheeks flushed, revealing a hint of shyness, as she gazed intently at him: "Rest assured, I will stick to you for a lifetime, even if you try to drive me away, you won't succeed."

Jingxuan, in deep pain, desperately chased after him

But I have always hoped for a chance to make amends with Jiaxi's mother. Now that I have finally waited for an opportunity, I do not want to give it up easily. Can you promise me to just be a good friend to Jiaxi? Do you understand what I mean?"

The smile at the corner of Jingxuan's mouth had not yet fully blossomed before it froze. At this moment, Ou Yiqian was sitting in her designated spot, beaming with joy as she looked at Yu Jiaxi, the two seemingly engaged in a very interesting conversation

It was evidently a remarkably delicate and well-behaved little face, yet she stubbornly held it up in defiance. In his view, her attitude held no semblance of intimidation, yet it deeply captivated his heart

"Did you see them? Then Yu Jiaxi must have seen you, right? What was his attitude like?" Xiao Tan asked nervously
