Chapter 6, Love has become blurred

It's nothing. I'm going to sleep, feeling sleepy! After seemingly taking a deep breath, Qi Yan heard him coldly reply, and before she could react, he had already hung up the phone.

"Ji Ruoning, this is a matter between us, you need not interfere..." Han Nuo quickly fell silent, realizing the significant position Ji Ruoning held between him and Qi Yan, and did not wish to speak harshly.

"Ruoning, do you think everything has already changed?" When Qiyan turned her face, her expression could not hide her melancholy. She understood that Ruoning brought her back to school merely hoping that she could face it bravely, while cherishing the memories, also completely letting go of the past.

Over the course of three years, she occasionally spoke on the phone with Ruoning, not because she did not miss her, but rather out of fear of being asked too many questions. The fragile her had reached a point where she could not bear the concern of a close friend. However, the friendship they shared during their four years of close companionship in university remained unbroken, even across thousands of miles. It flowed silently like a gentle stream, quietly coursing through their hearts. Thus, even after three years without seeing each other, there was no sense of estrangement.

"Did I wake you up?" The phone rang only once before being answered, startling Xi Yan, who glanced at the time and realized it was not yet 7 o'clock.

Staring blankly at his figure disappearing from view, Ji Ruoning felt confused

Hmm? Shaoyan's Hanno was taken aback, but Qiyan could not help but laugh out loud

On that evening, she sat side by side with Ji Ruoning on the steps of the playground, quietly watching the setting sun gradually disappear below the horizon, observing the faint twilight, as thin as a layer of mist, swirling and hazy, while her state of mind was subtly undergoing a transformation. Even many years later, that seemingly tranquil day, yet filled with turbulent emotions, would repeatedly appear in her dreams, hinting at something elusive.

She smiled with great difficulty, and that smile was no longer pure and innocent, but rather filled with bitterness and pain

"Yes. I cannot forget... I have never forgotten." She said helplessly, her voice choked, "But we can never go back..."

I do not understand, you knew it was him at that time, yet you both were fine, why did it suddenly change?" Ruoning did not know what had happened that she was unaware of, why did Qiyan leave without a word, not even explaining anything to her, her closest friend?

Yet she could not understand why the affectionate Han Nuo suddenly changed overnight ... She still vividly remembered when she found Han Nuo, she did not miss the obvious panic and tension on his face, but she could not ignore the beautiful and graceful ... new girlfriend by his side

As her gaze shifted, she looked at the handsome and reticent Han Nuo, and for some reason, Ji Ruoning felt a faint pain in her heart

The once optimistic self has vanished, the once cheerful Qi Yan has disappeared. After experiencing harm, she chose to walk alone for such a long distance, feeling both lonely and willful.

"Are you eating? I haven't been able to contact Yan Yan for several days, and you tell me you are eating and don't want to talk? Has your heart been eaten by a dog? How have you become so cold?" Ji Ruoning was instantly enraged, cursing for the first time in her life, "Aren't you worried that something might happen to Yan Yan?"

Xi Yan fell silent, slightly tilting her head to watch the clouds roll and disperse. It seemed as if everything related to this place had been instantaneously severed, as if she were in another world, isolating everything around her, resembling both a memory and forgetfulness

"Hmph, fox friend." Xi Yan glanced at him, rarely choosing to ignore him this time.

Xie Yuandong pressed his lips together, a flicker of shame and anger flashing in his eyes, yet he ultimately restrained himself from speaking. He picked up his cup and took a sip of his drink, waiting for Han Nuo to speak.

She recalled his silhouette once more; the slender and elongated figure was the deepest impression Han Nuo left on her, as well as the most profound pain.

I have grown accustomed to returning whenever there is a slight change in life. In the three years since you left, I cannot recall how many times I have come back. At first, I came alone, and later, Yifan accompanied me, but I still prefer being with you. " Ruoning turned her head to glance at her, and Qiyan smiled with pursed lips. As she turned her face away, she made an effort to swallow back the tears that quickly welled up in her eyes.

Ji Ruoning could not clearly remember what she had said; in any case, she had said a lot and asked many questions. Han Nuo, however, remained silent the entire time. It was only when she mentioned that she had exhausted her words that he replied softly, "Ji Ruoning, love is not everything in life; I just hope she can have a better time." And the books.

Hanno felt quite embarrassed, his face showing some discomfort, yet he suppressed the anger within him, saying, "No need, just wait for me for a moment." After saying this, he pulled Ji Ruoning along and left the restaurant without looking back

"Breakup? When did that happen?" Ji Ruoning stared at him in disbelief, her voice involuntarily rising a little as she raised her hand to point at Xie Yuandong, "Don't tell me it's because of her?"

Yanyan, I have never understood why you two broke up. I believe it was certainly not because of that incident. If you do not wish to speak about it, I can refrain from asking, but I kindly ask you not to continue like this. If seeing him once causes you pain each time, then it would be meaningless for me to have you come back.

She cannot forget him, for he once cared for her and pampered her too much; she loves him, because he once loved her more deeply, but all of that is in the past, and there is no turning back now

In the early morning, fragmented sunlight spills into the room, warming the body.

We broke up..." Han Nuo turned his face away, a fleeting glimpse of sorrow flashing through his deep blue eyes, his voice particularly indifferent

Xi Yan stirred her somewhat numb legs and slowly awakened, having fallen asleep in a curled-up position like this

Once again strolling along the tree-lined path of the playground, Xi Yan felt a slight ache in her nose. Once upon a time, Han Nuo held her hand, and the two of them had walked here countless times, she even clearly remembered how many willows lined the entire path. Now, everything has changed and the people are no longer the same

Ji Ruoning assessed her appearance; she wore exquisite makeup that was neither too heavy nor too light, perfectly suited to the lighting. The apricot-colored fitted long dress clung to her body, accentuating her tall and proportionate figure. A crystal necklace hung delicately on her graceful collarbone, while her black hair was simply styled up, exuding a hint of mature allure.

Xi Yan remained silent for a long time, her lips slightly moving, revealing a faintly bitter smile, and she softly said, "I am sorry"

She certainly did not know that Wen Xingyuan had been calling her all along without anyone answering, and her phone was not turned off. Worried, she could not sleep the entire night, sitting foolishly in the apartment and lost in thought for the whole night, how could she possibly maintain her usual good temper

"So you think I'm meddling, huh? Fine, https://m.hetushucom.com Han Nuo, I must say I misjudged you..." After Ji Ruoning finished speaking, she intended to leave when she saw a waiter approaching her side with a tray. She picked up a cup and turned around to splash it on his face, "Han Nuo, you better pray that Yan Yan is okay!"

That was the place where they met. Four years of university life passed in the blink of an eye. As the dormitory, once filled with laughter and joy, gradually fell silent, Xi Yan stood on the platform, bidding farewell to one roommate after another, feeling an indescribable emptiness in her heart. Fortunately, Han Nuo was by her side, and fortunately, Ruo Ning was holding her hand.

If Ruoning enjoys walking on the tree-lined path with her, she likes walking on the tree-lined path with Hanno. Over time, after evening self-study sessions, Hanno often holds Qiyan's hand to escort both of them back to the dormitory, with Ruoning becoming the brightest light bulb between them

All matters concerning the wedding were handled by Tang Yifan, so there was naturally no need for Qiyan to assist further; her only responsibility was to "serve" the bride well, which would be a significant achievement. Today, accompanying Ruoning, she thought it was because Ruoning wanted to buy something, but unexpectedly, Ruoning brought her to the school.

She chose to distance herself, yet ultimately could not escape the sorrow hidden deep within her heart. Some say that time can dilute everything, including the once unbreakable vows of love, but the truth also proves one thing: time cannot break the bond of life and death. The rift between them is something that no one can mend.

He brought her unspeakable pain, and she, in turn, brought him a heavy sense of helplessness. She thought that when he made that decision, he must have been in pain as well, after all, they had loved deeply at that time, parting when they were most in love. However, it took Xu Yan a long time to realize this truth. Until they met again, she struggled to recall that moment three years ago when their eyes met, filled with strands of pain in his gaze. She suddenly understood how he must have gritted his teeth and brushed past her. In that moment, his pain must have been deeper than hers, his heart perhaps already bleeding profusely. Such an awkward and heartless confrontation required courage; he was braver than her, more resolute than her.

Sleep? Damn, if only he could sleep and get his act together. No wonder she always scolds him for being foolish; he truly is full of foolishness. Upon hearing her voice, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, yet at the same time, he felt a sense of relief, unable to stop himself from cursing himself inwardly.

They have been regretting this all along. Han Nuo raised a smile, his handsome features appearing even more charming; he was unaware of the immense impact such a smile had on Qi Yan

I am having dinner with a friend, and I do not wish to discuss the matter of Qi Yan. Han Nuo's expression darkened slightly as he turned to meet her gaze.

Are you being too excessive?" Xie Yuandong's expression darkened as he carefully took out a tissue from his bag to wipe the alcohol off Han Nuo's face, and finally spoke up

It is well known that the few people in her dormitory do not speak well of her, and she paid a "blood" price to get to know Han Nuo. I remember after the sports meeting, she and Ruo Ning were crossing the playground to return to the dormitory, and Han Nuo was intensely playing basketball with several male classmates. A powerful pass went awry and flew directly towards Qi Yan; her scream of "ghost" nearly deafened Han Nuo. The ball lightly grazed her, but she was not "knocked down" by the ball; rather, she fell in fright, resulting in a small area of "bleeding" on her knee.

Where did he go wrong? Or is she just too stubborn? Suddenly, she felt that everything between her and him had become insignificant... Love, due to the necessary sacrifices, gradually became blurred, and pain, because of the quiet passage of time, became indistinct. The clearest memory in her heart is only that which is forever lost... family...

The clearest memory in her heart is only that which is forever lost... family...

He had almost never lost his temper, and Qi Yan was taken aback for a moment before replying with dissatisfaction, "You were the one who was dead asleep, why are you looking for me?"

"Do you all not dare to offend me? Am I a tiger?" Pouting, she glanced at the smiling Han Nuo and said, "I really do resemble a tiger..."

"Yanyan, do you know why I brought you here?" Ruoning's face also showed a hint of melancholy; how could she not understand Qiyan's feelings

After a comfortable hot shower and changing into a fresh set of clothes, Xu Yan checked the time and, finding it just right, grabbed her bag and headed out

When love arrives, it is fervent and intense; when love departs, it leaves no trace.

He particularly dislikes that group of brothers of his, why did he have to kick someone, and of all people, why did he kick me? Xu Yan wore a brilliant smile on her face, reminiscing about their acquaintance

"Yanyan, you cannot forget him, you still cannot let go, can you?" Holding her hand, Ruoning seemed to see through her heart

"Big idiot!" Listening to the beeping sound coming from the phone, Qi Yan cursed fiercely and casually threw the phone onto the bed

When Dengdeng and Hanno became familiar with each other, she once asked him: "Hanno, do you particularly dislike me?"

Understood. Xi Yan held her hand

Ji Ruoning sighed, her heart swelling with deep sorrow due to Qi Yan's unbearable pain, "Do not say sorry to me, you have not wronged me; the only one you have wronged is yourself"

Seeing over a dozen missed calls on her phone, all from the same number, she hesitated for a moment but still splashed it over.

Upon hearing this, Han Nuo and Ruo Ning exchanged a glance and both smiled. Qi Yan's greatest strength lies in her perpetual awareness of her shortcomings, which surpasses her understanding of her own strengths. Yet, she is precisely the type who speaks harshly but is soft-hearted, never willing to yield.

Xiyan managed to hold back the tears in her eyes, but upon hearing Ji Ruoning's words, she suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to cry. She realized that even her once fragile friend, who was as delicate as a kitten, had matured, while she herself remained trapped in the past, living in the memories of the time spent with him

"Who is she? What about Yan Yan?" Ji Ruoning asked Xie Yuanteng, who was sitting quietly beside her, in a dazed manner.

In just a short span of less than three months, he was no longer by her side, and she chose to leave, leaving Ruoning alone in this northern city

"They are just joking, who would dare to offend you?" Han Nuo said, putting his arm around her shoulder and explaining with a smile. Jokes aside, which of his brothers does not envy him for having a sensible, capable, and non-clingy girlfriend? It would be even more perfect if she could be a bit more forgiving with her words, but of course, no one would dare to say that in front of Miss Qi, as that would be courting death.

"Are you dead asleep? I called several times and no one answered." Wen Xingyuan's voice was surprisingly cold, completely unlike someone who had just woken up, as he scolded her right away.

Is everything alright?" Xie Yuandong looked up and saw him shaking his head, a proper smile on his face. "Shall we change to another place?"
