Chapter 5, Symphony of Youth

I guess you must have some good news to share with me. Has the game given out equipment again

"Why should I tell you? Who are you to me? Besides, you wouldn't understand even if I told you; our views on love are too different, and we cannot collaborate when our paths diverge."

Only when one is bored would they say such a thing? Does this mean that He Huanhuan is very bored?

I am impatient: "Come down here immediately!"

Moxi, didn't you say that you never believe in love

Ye Bihan smiled and said, "Why aren't you quick to answer?"

After countless twists and turns, I finally arrived at the place he mentioned

Did you not say that the girl you loved is already dead

Still ignoring.

At that time, I did not know who was looking for me, nor did I think much about it, yet I was unaware that the appearance of this person would stir up great waves in my life

Lin Xiaozhu

Qingtong, it is better to let the trivial matters go. I do not wish to escalate the situation, nor do I want to involve you any further. What if he harbors any ulterior motives towards you? You must not wade into this murky water; safety comes first

I stared at that unfamiliar number for a long time, having never seen it before

Suddenly, I feel that this sky is no longer the same sky I used to see; the world has changed, and everything is different now

I held her tightly and whispered in her ear: "We really are like conjoined twins... but it's alright, we will face difficulties together."

The phone suddenly rang

Hello, Mom. You haven't called for several days. Are you very busy? Is the child not behaving well recently?

This posture lasted for about a minute without any progress, and I gave up: "No, I can't do it. Lin Xiaozhu, you can kiss so many people every day without a care in the world, that's impressive!"

Senior Mo ... ...

I spoke to her about my matters over the past few days

Lin Xiaozhu instead became serious, his brown pupils filled with questions. His gaze penetrated directly, unflinching, making me feel a chill in my heart. His lips parted slightly as he gently said: "Cheng Qingtong, can you tell me, what exactly do you like about Mo Xi?"

The owner of the bookstore is a woman in her thirties, with thick eyebrows and eyes that are not very large but particularly bright. From the moment I entered, she has been smiling.

I quickly hung up the phone and said to others: "Cai Qihang, my mother's dry cleaning shop is on fire, I need to rush over there immediately. Ye Bihan, please help me call 119, I have to go now..."

I am asking you, have you called the police?

My dear wife, I was wrong... This phrase sounds truly sweet

Well

Moxi tossed the sketch aside, grasped my hand, and said with a somewhat stern tone: "Why are you still so reckless, never knowing to be careful!"

Thud

It does not matter, going a few more times is also fine

I continued to comfort her by saying, "Let's have a good talk later, and strive to resolve any grievances or resentments between the two of you today, so that your trip here won't be in vain"

I understand, I will return immediately

I felt a sudden panic, so anxious that I became incoherent: "Convenient! I... I... I... I... will go right away!"

I like her, but I have never told anyone, including her. Until the very last moment, the only one who knew was me alone

I was assigned to the calligraphy and painting group by him. Perhaps he believes that, as a literature major, I have some connection to calligraphy and painting.

Cai Qihang, seeing that we had been dawdling for quite some time, felt a bit anxious and hurried over: "Can you sit down and talk if you have something to say? Why be so polite!"

How should I balance such a huge gap? And on which side will he stand?

It turns out that he has long had someone he likes, and it is neither gentle nor me

I covered the receiver again and said to Ye Bihan, "She said she wants to know when Mo Xi will be free, as she wants to come to school to see him!" After saying this, I immediately turned back to the receiver, while Ye Bihan waved her hands vigorously at me, indicating that I must not tell her.

You should leave. I have said that it is best for you not to appear in front of me in the future, otherwise, I will strike you every time I see you.

Qingtong, you will understand in a moment

I was taken aback, realizing that I was solely focused on revenge, without considering that this matter would be extremely detrimental to Ye Bihan if it were to get out.

Ye Bihan climbed up to the bathroom door again and asked: "Cheng Qingtong, just now a girl with a particularly gentle voice called, and it was from an unfamiliar number. Do you have any impression of her? I don't think I've met this person. I know all your friends, so who could this be..."

"Moxi, it has been a long time since we last met." Her voice was gentle and cheerful, her cheeks flushed, and she blinked her eyes, evoking a sense of tenderness.

The three words "Moxi" suddenly awakened me. I restrained my temper and asked, "Do you really think I shouldn't like him?"

He looked at me with a puffed-up expression, relaxing from his earlier seriousness, and smiled slightly in the sunlight, revealing a row of neat teeth. In that moment, I suddenly realized that I didn't actually dislike him very much. Although he had stolen a kiss from me, crossing my boundaries and making me want to drive him away with my claws bared, deep down, I wasn't entirely averse to him. Because if I truly disliked him, the most effective way to express that would be indifference, and the fact that I was still willing to be angry with him proved that I didn't dislike him that much.

Because if I truly disliked him, the most effective way to express that would be indifference, and the fact that I was still willing to be angry with him proved that I didn't dislike him that much.

When will Moxi say to me, "My dear wife, I was wrong," "My dear wife, I miss you," "My dear wife, good night"?

You should be grateful to be here; if it weren't for me, you would have lost both your wealth and your life long ago. However...

Could you please ask Yi Dan to inquire?

After that, those who desperately tried to pull me down no longer did so. I turned to look at the boy and smiled at him particularly happily: "Moxi, you came? I haven't drunk too much..."

Can I also do it?

Ye Bihan lowered her head, hesitating and remaining silent

Then, everything before my eyes became a blur

I know I was wrong

My eyes hurt terribly, and I do not wish to say anything more; I just want to go home

Cheng Qingtong, I am gentle

Passing by the supermarket, I bought some food and beer. After walking a few steps, I felt extremely tired, so I simply sat down by the roadside, shook the beer can, and with a hiss, opened it, letting it spray freely.

Hearing him say this, I feel that something significant must have happened; otherwise, the game is indeed Cai Qihang's life.

After arriving at school from home on Saturday, I spent almost the entire time at the exhibition center setting up the venue. Meanwhile, he stayed up several nights designing the layout and compiling a list of decorations

Then, Moxi Yi is my enemy

As Ye Bihan hurried from the library to the dormitory, someone handed her a flyer for a part-time job. She brought it back and placed it on the table. I casually picked it up and took a glance; it was a part-time position at the bookstore near the north gate of the campus. Well, it was much better than those jobs at restaurants as a waiter, perfectly suited to my preferences

She approached me with a hint of tenderness and embraced me with her arms

What am I? Insignificant, hardly worth mentioning

However, at this moment, what truly pains him should be that naive and innocent love, along with the innocent and carefree smile of his first love.

When I arrived, I told the hotel staff to bring me a bottle of drink in a while, and then I went to the room, but I only saw Yi Dan alone

Gently? He lightly pursed his lips, revealing a faint smile, a smile that is rarely seen on ordinary days

After hanging up the phone, Ye Bihan rolled her eyes at me and said: "Cheng Qingtong, you may not be able to win over Mo Xi, and it’s fine if he doesn’t love you, but at the very least, you shouldn’t push him into someone else’s tender embrace, right? That vixen on the phone, her voice is so sultry; are you planning to cry on my shoulder from now on? My shoulder isn’t available for service every time!" After saying this, she turned around in a huff, deliberately ignoring me.

Fortunately, at that moment, Ye Bihan interjected, providing me with a way out: "I am a good friend of Qingtong, my name is Ye Bihan"

Upon pushing the door open, a multitude of sketches came into view

I continue to dawdle

This is probably the clearest three words she has said on the phone; I can finally hear them without having to press my ear to the microphone

As she spoke halfway through, I already understood the seriousness of the situation, listening to her in silence without interrupting.

His voice was deep and muffled: "She only lived until the age of 17, and then she had a car accident, leaving just like that. I have never used the word 'death' to describe her departure, because that word is truly terrifying, and it is too cruel to use it to describe her."

Approximately half a minute later

Senior Mo, don't! I quickly stepped forward and snatched the lighter from his hand

At that moment, she was overwhelmed with joy and wept, leaning against his chest. I clearly saw, in the instant she closed her eyes, the flood of tears that burst forth. ... Meanwhile, his arm tightly embraced her shoulders, and his chin rested on her forehead ...

While I was taking a shower in the dormitory, Ye Bihan shouted at me from outside the door: "Cheng Qingtong, your phone is ringing!"

Qingtong, mother has resigned

While I was busy tidying up things, I seemed to hear a familiar voice, as if it were Lin Xiaozhu's. I thought I was imagining things, so I shook my head and dismissed it.

Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. He Huanhuan has arrived and is inviting you to lunch at noon, you must come! By the way, be sure to bring your good friend Ye Bihan along, the more the merrier

I have thought it through; it will be this Saturday. Just in time for you to have a break since you don't have class, we can tidy up together

Time seems to blur; it feels as though a long time has passed since that vibrant summer when I first met him, yet it also seems that the years have been rich and full. In the vast river of time, we are but minute and insignificant, and have not strayed far from each other

Just this once, he brought me unnecessary trouble again, because every time Ms. Zhang called, she would ask: "Qingtong, how is that young man named Lin Xiaozhu who came last time? Don't let it interfere too much with your studies..."

You are the biggest fool in the world

This world is always wondrous; just when you are about to give up, or feel utterly exhausted, or have lost hope in life, it begins to treat you gently

Throughout the entire banquet, Cai Qihang appeared to be in high spirits, as if he had never been this happy before. He did not forget to serve dishes and pour water for He Huanhuan, who occasionally turned to him with a sweet smile.

I forced a smile, feeling utterly confused: "What are you saying? There was no argument, so you..."

Lin Xiaozhu is not at home, I grabbed my coat and headed straight to the hospital

I suppressed the overwhelming joy within me and gave her a knowing smile: "Sister Zhang, what kind of work do I need to do on a regular basis?"

The icy liquid soaks my tongue, swirling freely at the tip, creating wave after wave of foam. I have not drunk much alcohol, finding it both bitter and wondrous.

Tears welled up in her gentle eyes, as if a mere blink would unleash a flood of tears; her cheeks, which had just been flushed, were now pale. Her voice trembled as she said, "Moxi, if you are willing to love me, could you please come over and give me a hug?"

She turned her face away, and a stream of clear tears slid down.

I worry that tenderness may lose its way, waiting alone can be quite lonely, so I will accompany her while we wait together

The drooping eyes were lifted, and I felt a sense of doubt. Slowly, I turned around to see him facing a painting. In the painting, a girl was smiling brightly, holding up her skirt, her eyes filled with hope

He picked up the sketch, clicked the lighter, and it was just a centimeter off.

Everyone is working hard, how can I be afraid of fatigue? In front of him, I always feel a bit embarrassed

Still ignoring.

I have never seen him so serious before, and I am unsure whether I should answer this question. If I do respond, how should I say it...

But this sound is becoming increasingly clear

Saturday

"Xiao Rou, why didn't you say anything when you came? I could have come to pick you up." Such a rare gentle tone... ? ... Damn it, Mo Xi Yi, when will you be able to speak to me more gently?

My heart skipped a beat; it seems I have heard this sound somewhere before, yet I cannot recall it.

Cai Qihang arrogantly replied, "What kind of good news is that!"

Oh, you can use idioms too, and you use them so accurately. Every time we chat, I always forget to tease her a bit.

At this moment, Ye Bihan was still vigorously waving her hand at me, urging me not to agree to her.

What is he trying to do

A thunderous sound echoed in my mind, and I was filled with mixed emotions; comforting words seemed to be blocked like a cork in a bottle, and I could not utter a single one.

But I still couldn't stop: "Alright, I will help you ask."

He Huanhuan: "Is it not acceptable that I met them too late?"

I rushed to her side and asked anxiously, "Xiao Han, what happened to you? How did you end up in the hospital for no reason?"

While I was setting up the venue at noon, my phone rang. I put down the calligraphy and painting in my hands and saw the name Cai Qihang flashing on the screen, so I answered: "Hello, Cai Qihang, what made you think of calling me?"

Since it is destined to have no outcome and to be hurt, why are you so attached? Isn't it better to be like me? Free and unrestrained, without being troubled by love! In fact, you can achieve this too

I shook my head and asked, "Lin Xiaozhu, how did I end up here? What have you done to me?"

So that's how it is. Is there something you want to discuss when you call me

I am somewhat bewildered, yet there is still a hint of joy in my heart, after all, I can be considered a friend of Moxi

After the call was connected, a stranger spoke: "Are you Cheng Qingtong, a friend of Ye Bihan?"

What are you doing? I heard a boy's voice, which sounded somewhat familiar

Please help me answer it; I will call back in a little while!

Do not say anything more; whatever you say is of no use.

Gentle, aren't you in a very good relationship with Moxi? Even if it is a question, it shouldn't be for me to ask, right? Can't you just call him and resolve it yourself?

Everyone is watching me

I see, but Senior Mo has a lot of responsibilities in the student council, and the literature club always has activities, so the schedule can change at any time. Even if I tell you, it might still be in vain.

You are really foolish

Not to mention the previous remark about fearing that others might look down on her, I am genuinely happy for her willingness to take initiative and break away from convention

Classmate, why are you still being so unreasonable? I came here to be free labor, and you treat me like this? Forget it, forget it, I won't blame you. Hurry up and pack your things, there is still a lot that needs to be done.

The night is very tranquil, with almost no other sounds except for the cars rushing by. I can hear my own heartbeat, and I can also hear his breathing. I would prefer to continue walking like this, even if we do not reach the destination.

As long as it exists, there will be warmth

I had just taken a few steps when I suddenly heard him call me: "Cheng Qingtong!"

On that day, I was sitting by the window basking in the sun when my phone rang; it was Ye Bihan.

I only felt the temperature dropping lower and lower, and it was only when I noticed that everyone had left that I realized it was almost dark.

Until very late, after hanging all the paintings and calligraphy, when almost everyone had left, my legs were so sore that I could barely stand. I felt someone gently support me from behind, and when I turned around, it was unexpectedly him

Hello, may I ask who you are

When I woke up, everything before my eyes was particularly unfamiliar, the sun shone in through the large window, bright and dazzling. I turned around and saw a single photo on the bedside table—Lin Xiaozhu.

That is great

At this moment, Moxi walked beside me, and I was the tenderness of that day, walking side by side.

"Did I disturb you by calling you suddenly?" Her voice was very soft, and I had to press the receiver tightly against my ear to hear her.

Upon pressing the dial button, a beep sounded briefly before the call was answered on the other end

In other words, these garments are all designed by you

However, what?

The well-defined contours of the profile appear slightly gaunt in the shadows of the lighting, while the pitch-black pupils capture every detail of the venue

Well, Xiaohan, I will go ask Moxi, but I estimate he won't be willing to say anything, hehe... hehe...

Hurry up, what are you standing there for!" He urged repeatedly

He leaned his face close to mine, almost touching my face: "Try to kiss me!"

What happened, Senior Mo?

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives

Then I will inform you once I have news

I was taken aback, not because I resented her for not going to work, but rather because since she arrived in this city, she has been working as a nanny for the family of a librarian, and she can now almost be considered a top-notch nanny. It was indeed surprising to hear her suddenly say that she would no longer continue in this role

I was so angry that I was pacing back and forth: "Ye Bihan, what can I possibly say about you! Playing cards, ha, do you really need to go to a hotel for that? You should think for yourself; that Yi Dan usually looks decent, but in reality, he is selfish and cunning. If you can't even recognize that, why would you jump into his trap!"

Only then did she stop her tears

She understands gentleness, so at this moment, she is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, her eyes wide open, urging me to quickly answer the phone

Qingtong, I indeed have something that requires your assistance. Could you please tell me when Moxi Yi is available recently? I would like to visit him at school

He stood motionless in place, gripping the book tightly with his left hand, the veins on his neck bulging, and his brows furrowed tightly.

I had no mind to continue pushing forward, so I hurriedly dried myself off and ran out

She raised her eyes to look at me, as if waiting for me to scold her for being careless

Oh, can't I just go out and call her later? Besides, why didn't you ask just now? It might be a new client at Sister Zhang's shop...

Alternatively, he might not choose to take a side at all. He has always been a person of such high standing, never deigning to involve himself in our disputes. For him, work, study, and caring for his mother are the most important matters in his life

During the last meeting of the literary society, arrangements were made for the art exhibition. Since the school's art exhibition emphasizes a scholarly atmosphere, the final style was determined to be antique and elegant. The school also requires frugality, and Moxi emphasized that when making arrangements, functionality should be prioritized over decorative elements.

To transform from a deeply loved one into an enemy can happen in an instant

Alright, hurry up and have breakfast. After finishing, go do whatever you need to do. It's not worth it for a Moxi one!

Although he used to assign me tasks before, this is the first time he has given me a formal assignment, no longer just trivial matters. I have finally understood a saying: a man who works diligently is incredibly handsome

When I arrived at the dry cleaner's, the fire had already been extinguished. Aside from having soot all over her face, my mother was otherwise unharmed, and I could finally set my anxious heart at ease

I was almost instantly petrified, standing dazed in place

After speaking, I felt something was off, as if there was a sense of disrupting the event and stealing the spotlight

Awake, how are you? Does your head still hurt

I got out of bed and walked around, the more I walked, the more I felt something was off: How did I get here? Why am I here?

The final message received is that Moxi is free on Saturday afternoon and will go to the library to gather information

Hello! Qing Tong! The dry cleaning shop is on fire... Hurry up...

This is a significant blow to someone like me who is single

Ye Bihan wiped her tears and said with a sense of grievance, "Don't ask anymore, I came to find you because I want you to take me out of the hospital"

When Ye Bihan was found, she had already regained consciousness, her complexion pale, lying on the hospital bed receiving an intravenous drip

I can no longer hold it in: "Lin Xiaozhu, do you think you can just cover up what happened that day? Do you think I am like that cheerleader girl whom you can kiss whenever you want? I beg you, if you want to harm someone, go find someone else. Don't come to me; I am very busy and have no time to beat around the bush with you."

Thud

That day, Yi Dan sent me a text message inviting me to play cards. He mentioned that many people were going to join in the fun, so he encouraged me to come along as well. He had booked the venue at a hotel, and I didn't think much of it

"Why is that? Did that family treat you poorly and bully you?" I asked anxiously

I almost immediately agreed to him

Qingtong, you will understand in a moment... If I had known the outcome earlier, I would have preferred to remain in ignorance all along

Before I could finish my question, I heard footsteps approaching from a distance

It's all over, I just let it slip in a moment of panic, and now everyone knows that we kissed. Even my mom, who just walked out of the store, saw this scene! If there were a window at this moment, I would definitely jump out of it.

Upon mentioning Moxi, I cautiously glanced at Yi Dan and found him engaged in a lively conversation with Ye Bihan, which eased my anxious heart

He always silently declines in this manner

Alright, make sure to rest well. I will come to see you in the evening, so don't wander around.

It turns out to be a surprise, not a matter of settling accounts

Later on, many times, I regretted why I could not be a bit more reserved! Reserved!

But what I absolutely cannot tolerate is that Yi Dan has actually bullied Ye Bihan. Throughout her life, I have never allowed anyone to harm her; even if she gets hurt, I will demand tenfold compensation. I absolutely cannot permit her to be harmed while she is by my side

No, no. How do you know my phone number? It seems I have never told you...

My fingers were originally touching those sketches, but at the moment he finished speaking, they ceased to move

Gentle, did you not say that you came to resolve the conflict

One step... two steps... He gradually approached her, pulling her into his embrace

On the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence, and after a long while, a soft voice came through: "It's because... I recently had a falling out with Moxi, and I wanted to find him in person to talk, so I didn't dare to call..." Her voice was hesitant and stammering, yet it was hard to refuse.

Oh, I saw the phone number on the mobile phone of Moxi Yi. Since I have met you, I saved your number.

Cheng Qingtong, I am gentle

I keep responding: "Look at your excited demeanor, calm down a bit, don't get too worked up."

Are you tired? If not, I will take you to a place

I helped her sit up, and there was hatred in her eyes. This hatred frightened me and made me anxious, for I had never seen Ye Bihan so angry before

I nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Sister Zhang. I am sure I can complete the task well, so please rest assured."

Her enthusiasm made me feel somewhat awkward; it should have been my duty as a host to extend hospitality, yet it was this person named He Huanhuan who seized the opportunity first

She is a gentle and reserved girl, only showing her claws in front of me. The fact that this matter can make her grit her teeth must indicate that it is not a trivial issue

I do not know why, but I felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing her. After chatting for a while, she decided to hire me, and the reason was simple: "From the first moment I saw you, I thought you were particularly clever. Through our conversation, I discovered that you also enjoy reading a lot. I am very confident in entrusting this job to you."

Hello, He Huanhuan, I often hear Cai Qihang mention you.

My heart suddenly tightened: "What happened? What is going on? Don't cry, please clarify everything to me!"

Later I came to realize that Ye Bihan was right; I am a fool, a very foolish fool, the biggest fool in the world is me

The body swayed, and the world turned dark.

Has the alarm been raised? A beast like him should be handed over to the police! I refuse to believe that no one can handle him! I was only away for a few days, and you get into such trouble; can't you let me have some peace of mind?

She sat up, furrowing her brow, her eyes wide with anger: "Cheng Qingtong, how am I supposed to report this to the police? If this gets out, how am I supposed to live my life?"

This is × × Hospital, your friend is currently receiving treatment here. Would it be convenient for you to come over?

As soon as the words left my mouth, I casually turned my head and found that those who were busy with their work were all staring at me intently

She gently stepped outside and stood at a distance of one meter from him. She was wearing a loose-fitting blue sweater, making her appear petite and charming, with her long hair cascading smoothly over her shoulders, the strands dancing in the wind.

A considerable number of people gathered around, all watching them. No one knows of my existence, nor will anyone remember that someone once said the same words on the playground, confessing to the same person.

He curled his lips and said, "There are plenty of girls willing to dedicate themselves to me, so stop being so vain."

He categorized various types of artworks and displayed them in different areas, separating sculptures, calligraphy and paintings, souvenirs, and handicrafts. He elaborated on his personal thoughts for each section, incorporating suggestions from other classmates, and ultimately revised to arrive at the final plan

However, you seem rather ordinary, and your wealth is even more so; it is only to be expected that you can survive safely

As I stepped out of the store and looked up, I saw him putting up a sign together with Cai Qihang. Ye Bihan and Yi Dan were cleaning the glass, and the few of them were enjoying a harmonious atmosphere, working in perfect coordination

Let us conclude here for today, it is too late, let us go

How can you be discharged in this condition! You cannot leave! First, clarify what exactly happened.

I did not speak, I simply let her continue talking

The blunt bangs perfectly covered her gentle forehead, accentuating a pair of pitch-black eyes. Her thin lips parted and closed again, and finally, she spoke softly: "Qingtong, actually, I did not have a falling out with Xi Yi, nor did we have a quarrel..."

My heart immediately began to race: "Gentle?" I covered the microphone and grinned at Ye Bihan.

That is not the case; Mother feels that constantly showing the child to others is not a long-term solution

Well

She is a girl I once liked, very beautiful and also very kind. However, that was a long time ago

Cai Qihang immediately admitted his mistake: "Alright, alright, my lady, I was wrong."

Lin Xiaozhu chuckled and said, "Just a moment, it will be done shortly..."

Cheng Qingtong, you are truly foolish

The people around were constantly jeering, the noise was deafening, causing a buzzing sensation in one's head

I can hide in the crowd and watch him without restraint like this

I first heard a few laughs from the other end of the phone, indicating that the mood was quite good

I have a vague sense of foreboding: "Yes, who are you?"

Actually, it's not very often; it's just something I say when I'm bored while playing games

She clasped her hands together, gripping the hem of her clothes, appearing somewhat shy, yet she raised her head and said in the loudest voice: "Moxi Yi, I want to thank you, thank you for never forgetting my birthday, for lighting the birthday candles for me every year; thank you for being my good friend when everyone else looked down on me; thank you for running with me on your back, allowing me to feel what the summer breeze on my face truly feels like ... ".

Perhaps it is because of the hazy light that I seem to see pain in his eyes

She expressed her gratitude many times, and each "thank you" felt like a thorn piercing through me, causing me real pain. How I wish that one of those "thank yous" could have come from me

Yi Dan mentioned that others would arrive shortly and suggested I have some tea first. However, who could have anticipated that he had put drugs in the tea? After drinking it, I felt drowsy. At that moment, I realized something was amiss, so I forcefully threw the teacup to the ground. Fortunately, I had previously requested a drink from the waitress. When she brought the drink, she heard something unusual from inside and rushed in, which is why nothing serious happened

Recently, my mother hasn't been calling me much. While I was chatting with Ye Bihan about how quiet she has been lately, my phone rang.

Lin Xiaozhu got down from the stool in a dejected manner and brushed off the dust from her clothes: "What’s wrong, Miss? Did that Moxi Yi bully you again?"

At that time, I finally understood that she took pride in me and had created a safe haven for me with her own youth and love. Although I was the precious pearl she raised in her hands, I could not be held by her forever. I needed to grow, to become a sharp weapon and a sturdy shield, to protect her and take care of her

Senior Mo, did you draw all of this?

Yi Dan has harmed Ye Bihan, who is my best friend, so it is evident that Yi Dan is my enemy. Moreover, Yi Dan is a friend of Mo Xi Yi!

Isn't this them arguing? I can't take advantage of others' misfortunes, can I? Hehe... Hehe...

I threw away the cloth in my hand and angrily walked up to Lin Xiaozhu: "Lin Xiaozhu, get down here!"

I find it strange that people are so sensitive to being talked about

Having settled her, I left the hospital

I staggered to the bus stop, hoping to catch the last bus home, but I was suddenly surrounded by a group of people who were making a racket in my ears. Then I felt someone yanking at my backpack, and my body was being pulled back and forth by them, making it impossible for me to find my balance.

My memory seems to have faded from the moment I was waiting for the bus; no matter how hard I try, I cannot recall it.

When I handed my first paycheck to my mother, she was almost in tears of joy, telling everyone she met and praising me to all. She went on about it for an entire day. It was only then that I realized, on her beaming face, there were already numerous fine wrinkles. My father passed away a long time ago, and she has endured so many hardships alone, gritting her teeth. From now on, I will be her strong support.

From over there came the lively sounds: "You haven't been playing games lately, I miss you, haha..." followed by a burst of cheerful laughter

Thank you for your hard work, you did very well ... ? ... Is this considered a compliment

The work is quite simple; it mainly involves selling books, and when there are no customers, you just need to organize the books a bit. It gets busier during the times of receiving and dispatching goods, as you need to count the inventory, but for the most part, it is relatively relaxed.

Qingtong, where have you been these days? Why haven't you returned to the dormitory? Have you gone home?

Ye Bihan wore an expression of deep disappointment, as if lamenting the failure to meet expectations

The lighting is somewhat dim, and I always feel that he is particularly gentle today: "Alright"

Hello, my surname is Zhang, you can call me Sister Zhang. Her humble demeanor greatly increased my fondness for her, and she exuded a strong scent of books, making one unable to resist the desire to learn more about her

Cheng Qingtong! Are you a fool? Have you even thought this through?

In the following days, I stayed in the house rented by Lin Xiaozhu, and he would occasionally share his own philosophical maxims, urging me to give up on Moxi 1. As I heard them more frequently, I gradually became numb to them. It was like telling the same joke to someone repeatedly; after a while, it naturally ceased to be funny.

I shot him a glance and continued to question, "Then how could I have ended up here?"

The door creaked open, and Lin Xiaozhu entered with soy milk and fried dough sticks.

After the gurgling sound in the stomach, it no longer feels cold; instead, there is a burning sensation in the stomach, no longer cold, no longer fearing the chill.

I looked at those pictures one by one and found that all the images depicted girls, and these girls all had the same face.

Indeed, it was he who spoke first

Moxi was wearing a dark blue sweatshirt, holding a book in her left hand, and walking towards us

Ah— I accidentally burned myself, and the searing pain slowly penetrates my heart

He Huanhuan is very much like I imagined, with a pair of big, bright eyes. She had never seen me before, yet when she saw me, she boldly rushed over to greet me: "Are you Cheng Qingtong? I often hear Cai Qihang talk about you, and I've heard that you are quite skilled at gaming." After saying this, she mysteriously leaned close to my ear and said, "When you have time in the future, please teach me how to play games."

This is certainly a matter of them knowing we dare not report it to the police, which is why they are so reckless. Alright, do not worry, I will take care of this matter for you.

It involves washing clothes for people, which is not difficult; I will learn and be able to do it.

Surrounded by applause, I hid behind a large tree and slid down its trunk to sit. I hugged my shoulders and curled up my body, not wanting anyone to see me

I stood motionless with my back to him

His figure moved swiftly throughout the entire venue, frequently instructing the staff on what to do and what not to do, while often lowering his head to check the list in his hand, before hurriedly proceeding to the next segment

Hello. The gentle voice is as clear as a mountain stream.

I secretly rejoiced in my heart, probably because there was my number in Moxi Yi's phone

My heart has always been hanging in my throat
