four

Today is the first day of school. I packed my luggage and was cheering for my ability to escape from home openly when I heard Li Qiuyang arguing with my dad in the living room about not going to school.

"So, are you here to see me today?" Yi Tian asked again.

Yi Tian tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a forced smile

In the end, I returned to that home

I would like to see the environment you live in, as well as your friends and such. You are my sister, and I want to learn more about you.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I saw a hint of sadness and sorrow in Yitian's eyes

After several days of reluctant interaction, I am certain that the Li Qiuyang described by Yi Tian as indifferent, cool, and incredibly handsome is definitely not the same person.

Tore up all the photos with Lin Chujian, the fairy in my world, has finally been reduced to just one.

Many friendships become increasingly fragile through the accumulation of such doubts, but I am grateful that this is not the case with Yi Tian and me

However, unexpectedly, Li Qiuyang retracted his hand, causing the suitcase handle to slip away, and the entire suitcase fell heavily to the ground

Li Qiuyang was taken aback, then looked at me again. After I shot him a glare, he helplessly replied to Yi Tian: "Yes, I was thinking that since school is starting, I could see if you need any help."

Li Qiuyang glanced at me, retracting the previous playful demeanor and adopting a cold, aloof, and handsome expression as described by Yi Tian. He replied evasively, "There have been some matters at home recently"

For a moment, I thought Yi Tian would suspect that there was some improper relationship between me and Li Qiuyang, and I was considering how to explain it. Fortunately, she did not pursue the matter further, but instead turned to Li Qiuyang and asked, "Hey, where have you been lately? You haven't been answering my calls."

After Yi Tian finished speaking, her lamenting appearance was quite amusing to behold

Yitian said that living is like a gamble; it is better to choke others than to suffocate oneself

Li Qiuyang's expression was somewhat dejected, as he lowered his head, resembling a child being scolded

Both Li Qiuyang and I felt somewhat awkward, not knowing how to respond

Watching that kid wave at Yi Tian while glancing at me, I cursed him a thousand times in my heart

I fear that she may find herself in a dilemma because of my position

That sound struck the hearts of the three of us

Who would have thought that it was Yi Tian who broke the awkwardness first? She picked up the box and pulled the handle, pretending to be angry as she said to Li Qiuyang: "Hey, how come you can't even hold onto a box? Never mind, I'll take it myself. There are quite a few things to deal with today since school is starting, so you should head back first!"

Upon arriving at the school gate, in order to avoid causing any misunderstandings, I turned back and said to him: "Alright, alright, you've seen me off, now you can go!"

It was only after Li Qiuyang had walked far away that I let out a long sigh, turned to Yi Tian beside me, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"

I was dragging my suitcase, thinking about making a quick escape, when I saw a figure dart between the two of us

For a long time, I had not noticed the subtle sacrifices she made for me, those imperceptible acts of endurance.

It was only a long time later that I understood how naive I had been at that time. In fact, at that moment, Yi Tian had a knot in her heart, but she did not voice her doubts because she cared about me

I must say, when he said that, I was indeed a bit moved. However, it only lasted for a mere few seconds. Thinking of his mother, who laughs so hard every day that she nearly cramps up, I certainly won't show him any kindness: "Stop right there, stop right there, don't ever refer to me as 'sister' again; I don't have a brother like you"

Such a contrast made me feel somewhat reluctant. I took the suitcase from his hand and couldn't help but soften my tone: "Alright, alright, I'll take you to see it another time. Today is the first day of school, and everything is quite chaotic."

I do not know how to explain all of this; I only know that I do not want anyone to know about my relationship with Li Qiuyang, especially Yi Tian

"Do you have a twin brother or something?" I turned my head and asked him, who was dragging a suitcase.

Seeing me like this, Li Qiuyang could only reluctantly say: "Alright, then I will take my leave. If you need anything, feel free to contact me at any time"

"Ah, that's great! Then please help me with the suitcase!" Upon hearing this, Yi Tian joyfully handed the suitcase handle to Li Qiuyang.

It is not for any other reason, but simply because you do not allow me to live comfortably, I will not let you live with ease either

"Oh, how did you two end up together?" Yi Tian asked, dragging a large box with one hand while linking arms with Li Qiuyang with the other.

He kept looking around all the way, and after getting out of the taxi, a journey that should have taken a few minutes took more than ten minutes. Fortunately, it is not hot today; otherwise, I might have just beaten him up.

How should one explain all of this before us

I stood by, watching his transformation, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration; his acting skills could lead him into the film industry

I have become much more composed; it's just changing two roommates, what's the big deal!

Seeing my father fuming with anger, I actually felt quite pleased; what goes around comes around, it's just that the time for retribution has not yet arrived

She smiled sweetly at me: "Of course, when we are together, we fear nothing."

He is truly a naive child, taking everything said seriously

Do not, send the Buddha all the way to the West

Of course, there is also the unexpected presence of Li Qiuyang in this matter

I hurriedly waved my hand, fearing that if I engaged with him, he would take it as an opportunity to climb up the ladder, mistakenly believing that my attitude towards him had changed

After speaking, I naturally prepared to go over and get the box

What happened to the promised cool persona? The supposed aloof lead singer persona of the band, how did it all fall apart when it came to me?

Alright, it's settled then! With my coaxing, Li Qiuyang immediately brightened up with a smile.

What I just saw in her eyes, the sadness, may truly be just my illusion

"You are the one who should go to the West!" I have always held a deep disdain for those who, despite their limited vocabulary, insist on forcing out some pretentious phrases.

The beginning of the senior year is no longer filled with the novelty and anticipation that characterized the first year. As I walk along the school paths, I can easily distinguish between the freshmen and those who are about to graduate

Li Qiuyang looked utterly perplexed: "Huh?"

However, in the next moment, she returned to her usual bright demeanor and said to me: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that the senior who lived with us before has graduated, and new people will be coming to our dormitory. Moreover, due to the tight availability of beds at the school, we can only have mixed living arrangements. Just think, how nice it would be if it were just the two of us living together without anyone else coming in!"

I dragged my suitcase down the stairs, stepping lightly as if I were about to hum a little tune. Just as I was about to retreat, Li Qiuyang dashed in front of me, shamelessly insisting on accompanying me, under the pretext of escorting me.

As long as we are together, we fear nothing. I turned my head and held her hand

Li Qiuyang hesitated for a moment, and I, feeling as if I had been granted a reprieve, gave Li Qiuyang a push and urged, "Yes, yes, you should hurry and leave!"
