Xu Yan, why aren't you wearing the military training uniform? Are you also in the sports class like Lin Jiarui?

Qi Xuan also learned about it; it was An Xiaoduo who informed him. Would he also think this: Little eyes, you are truly dirty

Are you really leaving without eating anything? How disappointing. I don't want to eat anymore either, let's leave together. Jian Le Ning, are you still going to eat?

An Xiaoduo knows, Qi Xuan also knows, they all know about the harm I suffered from Xu Yan

My hand holding the cup couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the cup fell to the ground, shattering into many pieces. In a panic, I crouched down to pick it up, and as soon as my fingers touched the glass shards, I was cut, with bright red blood seeping from my fingertip, yet I felt no pain

We are no longer the An Xiaoduo and Jian Lening of our childhood

Except for Tang Yu who is speaking alone, the three of us remain very silent; usually, it is only when she asks a question that someone responds with a word.

It was Lin Jiarui who said this; he unilaterally informed his beloved An Xiaoduo about the harm I suffered. Does he really think that An Xiaoduo would feel sorry for me because of this

Lin Jiarui was not angry; he continued to leisurely pick up the dishes.

Lin Jiarui stood under the sycamore tree by the roadside, talking on the phone, with a look of both tension and joy on his face

I secretly criticize Lin Jiarui's foolishness, yet I cannot help but feel sorry for him. His stubbornness is reminiscent of my own from childhood, when a mere glance from Xuanxuan could make me forget his indifference, instantly bringing a smile to my "little eyes".

Seeing the rain intensify, I bought an umbrella from a roadside stall, opened it, and walked towards the boy in the rain

Did you tell Qi Xuan about her? What did he say? Does he know that Xiao Yan Jing likes him

My steps suddenly came to a halt, and my body stiffened as I watched Lin Jiarui, who had walked to the side and continued his phone call in the newsstand.

I just wanted to cross the distance of those five steps, to shout at Lin Jiarui, why did you have to tell everything to An Xiaoduo? Why did you make me so pitiful? Why did you expose my wounds in front of the friends who have already abandoned me? Why did you trample on my remaining dignity? How am I supposed to stand tall in front of An Xiaoduo and Qi Xuan in the future? How can I proudly declare to them that the abandoned me can still live well without them? How am I supposed to stand tall in front of An Xiaoduo and Qi Xuan in the future? How can I proudly declare to them that the abandoned me can still live well without them?

Yes, this time it is truly dirty

Xu Yan slightly raised her head, glanced at Tang Yu, and then shifted her gaze to Lin Jiarui, who was focused on eating. She casually remarked: "I am someone who has just survived being stabbed; how could I have the energy to mess around in the sports class?"

... ...

Lin Jiarui glanced at the phone screen, paused for a moment, then waved to us and ran outside to answer the call

Before Lin Jiarui hung up the phone, I turned around in time and walked expressionlessly into the incessant rain, leaving only an umbrella on the ground, turned upside down, collecting a full measure of rainwater

This is really delicious, Lin Jiarui, your ice cream will melt if you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, I will help you eat it

In certain aspects, I am so similar to Lin Jiarui

Tang Yu was still persistently questioning Xu Yan about that matter. Xu Yan stood up from his seat and smiled at Tang Yu, saying, "Lin Jiarui was indeed not wrong; Tang Yu, you are just like a child, believing everything you hear. I am full now, so I will take my leave. Thank you for today, Lin Shao; I will treat you another day."

I watched Lin Jiarui's hurried departure, feeling an inexplicable sense of panic in my heart, as if something was slowly fading away.

What Jian Le Ning desires the least is the sympathy of An Xiao Duo, and what she values the least is the pity of Qi Xuan, as those would undermine her self-esteem

While Xu Yan was speaking, Lin Jiarui's phone rang

"Let me do it!" Lin Jiarui had squatted down beside me at some point, casually grabbing a tissue from the table to wrap around my bleeding finger, and then proceeded to pick up the glass shards from the floor.

How could a boy who is so particular about cleanliness be attached to someone as filthy as me

Xiaoduo, I feel a bit tired. I know your heart is not with me, but I am still waiting. If you do not plan to come back, just tell me; if I cannot wait, then I will stop waiting. I tell myself to wait for three years, and if you do not return in these three years, if no one wants Xiaoyanjing, then I will take her.

It turns out that they all knew.

I saw his emaciated back trembling

Tang Yu snatched the partially melted chocolate double sphere from Lin Jiarui's hand, a triumphant smile adorning his bright face

Even if she called, there was no need for him to be so agitated; he did not care even if he got drenched in the rain

I was running desperately in the rain, which was getting heavier, and it hurt a bit as it hit my body

Tang Yu, holding onto Xu Yan who was about to leave, tilted his head and said to me

According to what you said, it was purchased and given to her, she also accepted it, so she should be pleased

I feel that she is quite lonely, and I am also quite lonely. If only I had liked her when I was younger

Tang Yu wanted to buy skincare products, so she brought Xu Yan along, while I waited for Lin Jiarui at the entrance of the restaurant

My eyes feel a bit sore and dry, I blinked, wanting to cry but unable to do so

Will you return after your eyes are healed

The sky began to drizzle lightly, and I stood under the eaves, gazing at Lin Jiarui in the rain, instantly realizing who had made that phone call

How I despise you, An Xiaoduo, who once hurt me. You must be very happy to know about this, thinking to yourself: Look, Jian Lening, how pitiful you are, Qi Xuan doesn't want you, and now even heaven has abandoned you. Your parents probably don't know about this, do they? If they did, your mother's heart condition would surely act up again. Qi Xuan knows about it too, but so what? Will he sympathize with you? He is still in America with me, treating my eyes. Jian Lening, you are truly a failure! If they did, your mother's heart condition would surely act up again. Qi Xuan knows about it too, but so what? Will he sympathize with you? He is still in America with me, treating my eyes. Jian Lening, you are truly a failure!

I stood just five steps away from him, listening to his gradually hoarse voice, along with the faintly delicate sound emanating from the phone. The warmth within my body was slowly fading, and the heart that had recently been filled to the brim was gradually being hollowed out.

I shook my head, gazing at the untouched dishes on the table, unable to muster any appetite.

"Were you stabbed? When did this happen? How come I didn't know? Where were you stabbed? Who did it? What deep-seated enmity do you have with them?"

I feel very sad, and I feel sad for all of us

Tang Yu, with an ice cream in his mouth, mumbled a question to Xu Yan beside him
