Chapter 8
Ah? I turned around and looked at him in confusion. To be honest, ever since Ruiqing confessed to me, I have not known how to face him naturally. It always feels a bit strange, yet I cannot quite articulate what exactly feels off.
I like you, like Asia, I like you, I like you
If sweetness and happiness could be measured on a scale, I believe that the sweetness and happiness I currently feel can offset all the past unhappiness and sorrow. This is what love feels like, as if every corner is filled with blooming flowers, each one, each cluster, blossoming in my heart
I raised my head in some annoyance and saw the gentle eyes of Dunsuke. My heart stirred, and I quickly lowered my head to ask, "Then, how do you know about my home? Could it be that you are following me?"
I felt a surge of concern and involuntarily moved towards the window. The torrential rain was washing over the glass, rendering the outside world indistinct, yet I still caught sight of the figure standing under the tree. He was still there, the relentless rain beating down on him, soaking him completely. Water streamed down his slightly long black hair, gliding over his chiseled face. His body leaned slightly forward, his arms stiffly raised, protecting the little dog in his arms. He was still there, the relentless rain beating down on him, soaking him completely. Water streamed down his slightly long black hair, gliding over his chiseled face. His body leaned slightly forward, his arms stiffly raised, protecting the little dog in his arms
I suddenly felt a pang of heartache; Dunga has always been the person I liked. I don't want him to become so cautious because of me. I lifted my head to look at him, petted the little dog in my hands, and said, "I don't like calling it Yaya; I need to give it a new name. What should it be?" I deliberately elongated the last syllable, tugging at the dog's ears and said earnestly, "I've got it, let's call it Xiao He. What do you think?" I lifted my head to look at him, petted the little dog in my hands, and said, "I don't like calling it Yaya; I need to give it a new name. What should it be?" I deliberately elongated the last syllable, tugging at the dog's ears and said earnestly, "I've got it, let's call it Xiao He. What do you think?"
I raised my head and saw Ruiqing listening to the phone with a sullen expression, the hand gripping the phone turning slightly pale from the excessive force.
He, like a prince, wants me to give him a chance. Am I dreaming? Is it yet another dream of Nanke?
I have mentioned that I have someone I like, and that person is you!
"I am fine," I replied reluctantly. I have a tendency to faint at the sight of blood, a condition I have had since childhood. Even though I know that the blood is all digitally added, I still can't help but feel a wave of dizziness.
The wind has risen, and thick clouds are rolling across the sky, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. The light seems to be gradually consumed by the dark clouds, and the plants in the flowerbed appear so fragile in such a fierce wind, just like the two of us standing in the breeze at this moment
As has been proven countless times, I am a person whose actions precede my thoughts. By the time I realize what I am doing, I have already stood in front of him holding an umbrella
I asked Xiaoyi. "What? Xiaoyi?" I looked up in surprise, but the latter was playfully blinking at me. "If you want to pursue a girl you like, you must first know who her good friends are." As he spoke, he scratched his head a bit shyly. "I treated her to ice cream once, and she told me your home address."
He took my left hand and gently pressed it against his chest, the strong and powerful heartbeat gradually transmitted through my fingertips, causing my heart to tremble slightly in response
I nodded and then gently placed the puppy in his arms
Are you cold?" Ruiqing stopped in her tracks, glanced at my thin school uniform, and then took off her jacket to drape it over my shoulders, but I dodged her.
"What are you looking at?" He suddenly lowered his head to meet my heart-eyed gaze. Uh, being caught peeking, how embarrassing.
He awkwardly glanced at the puppy in my arms, then looked at me, "It is actually a female."
I really like him, but he has already missed me.敦贺原, I am ultimately not the person you like, am I? Then why did you want to date me? Why?
Ruiqing, I, I actually feel very foolish and silly, and I am not beautiful either. I... God bear witness, I am not being modest; I truly believe there is nothing about me that is likable. I am muddled all day long, how could I possibly be likable
As Ya's voice echoed in the wind once more, I bit my lip hard and slowly withdrew the hand I had placed on his chest. The moment my fingertips left him, a chill instantly spread through my body. I longed for his warmth, but I knew I could no longer indulge in it.
When I came to my senses, I had already held it in my arms
After finally enduring until the end of school, just as I was packing my bag and preparing to go home, I was called by Ruiqing.
I was lying there in a daze when a faint sound pulled me back to reality. I lifted my head and saw a remote-controlled airplane wobbling outside the window, with a small bamboo basket tied underneath it. To my surprise, there was an adorable little white dog lying in the basket, and the sound that had just interrupted my daydreaming was coming from it.
The corner of Dunhua Yuan's mouth twitched slightly
Fairness? Dunhua Yuan had a look of helpless amusement on his face. Perhaps at this moment, I was witnessing the true him, without distance, without the superiority of being above others. He is simply himself, and I am simply myself. Everything felt so beautiful, as if I were in a dream, and I found myself unwittingly lost in this fairy-tale-like dream
I lowered my head and calculated with my fingers, no, April Fools' Day has already passed for almost two months
Xiaoyi had a knowing expression on her face, casting a meaningful glance at me before she continued to immerse herself in her romance novel
Woof woof woof
You called me? I smiled awkwardly
"Even if you do not accept me, there is no need to belittle yourself like this." He reached out his hand and pulled me closer to him. For the first time, I did not push him away, as I did not know what reason to use to do so. He gently grasped my shoulders, turning me to face the advertisement board at the subway station, allowing me to see our reflections on it, and then he softly ruffled my hair.
After speaking, I turned around and ran home without looking back. I dared not turn my head, nor did I dare to linger, for I feared that I would soften my heart, forgive him, and be hurt once again
"The most beautiful?" My head is a bit dizzy, and I don't know why. For a moment, Xin Xin's face flashed before my eyes: her brown long hair, large almond-shaped eyes, slightly upturned thick eyelashes, lips always coated with pink lip gloss, and her perpetually elevated demeanor. Only someone like her can truly be called beautiful. So, compared to her, who is more attractive?
What’s wrong? Is the name I chose not pleasant? How about this, let’s be democratic. I said cheerfully, gently patting the little one in my arms on the head, then poking its nose with my index finger and saying, "You choose for yourself. If you call out once, it means you agree to be called Xiao He; if you call out twice, it means you do not oppose being called Xiao He. How about that, fair enough?"
"I will take you to a beautiful place," said Tsunuga, suddenly smiling childishly and speaking mysteriously
Uh... I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on my forehead
I expressionlessly shoved the umbrella into his hand, and while he was still confused, I reached out and pinched the soft ears of the little thing in my arms, saying: "Forgive you? Let's talk about that later. Right now, I need you to answer a few questions for me"
Woof woof woof! The little one immediately barked joyfully a few times in my arms
Today's gains are truly significant; I have seen a different side of敦贺原. He seems so real. In the past, whenever I saw him, he was always so elegant and composed, perfectly like a prince, almost unreal. But the person before me now can smile, frown, feel disappointment, and even experience awkwardness.
Is this the place connected to the heart? I gaze at my fingertips, and his heart beats like this, one after another, so clearly, so truly
I lay quietly on the bed, and before my eyes were the images of him just now: his serious expression while apologizing, his nervous demeanor while explaining, his stillness standing in the rain, and his embarrassed, flushed face.
Ruiqing's body stiffened for a moment, and then he slowly turned around while holding my arm, his eyes filled with sadness. His tightly pressed lips parted slightly: "Ruya, can I rely on you for the rest of my life?"
Whispers from my classmates kept reaching my ears, and my face involuntarily turned red. I secretly glanced at Dunsuke Hara, who appeared calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard any of those remarks at all, merely softly instructing me to eat.
Do you really like him
A flash of lightning split the night sky, as if it were about to cleave the heavens and the earth apart, piercing my eyes. With such heavy rain, is he still there?
I am not cold. Seeing Ruiqing's eyes dim for a moment, I felt a pang of guilt in my heart, but I cannot deceive myself, nor can I deceive someone who likes me. If I do not like him, I cannot give him any hope. This is the most useful lesson Xiaoyi taught me, for she once said that one should never hurt someone who truly cares for them.
It is currently the time when school is dismissed, and the entrance to the classroom is particularly crowded with people coming and going. However, for some reason, even though he is standing in the throng, I can still spot him at a glance.
"I, we also do not know, it was already here when we arrived in the morning." A girl seemed to be intimidated by Ruiqing's presence, lowering her head and explaining in a soft voice
I gently stroked its fluffy little head, and to my surprise, this little creature licked my finger without any fear, wagging its tail at me in a seemingly endearing manner, which made me laugh. My mood, which had been suppressed all day, seemed to improve significantly.
What a lively place you have here!" A familiar voice suddenly broke the previously oppressive atmosphere
"It's nothing, have a pleasant date," he said, and then he strode out with his backpack. I don't know why, but I always feel that Ruiqing's back seems a bit lonely. Sigh, could it be that I am too sentimental?
"Ruiqing, it seems he has been watching you all day today." Xiao Yi said mysteriously, blinking her eyes.
He said, "No matter what, I will show you through my actions that I have already fallen for you."
I stood in front of the window, holding the puppy, as if I had been cast under a spell, completely motionless. I did not know how to face him; should I accept his apology? Now, I am uncertain about everything concerning him. I felt like a lost child standing at a crossroads, unsure whether to go left or right
"Like Asia, listen to my heart, it will not lie."
Walking side by side with Dunhua Yuan, I cannot express how joyful I feel inside, and I occasionally sense envious or jealous glances directed at us. I stole a glance at the person beside me; from my angle, I could clearly see the perfect and gentle lines of his profile. I must admit that Dunhua Yuan is someone who has no flaws, no matter from which angle one looks at him.
Why isn't he taking shelter from such heavy rain
I like you
"Hey, what does it mean to call out three times?" I shouted at it, but then I thought for a moment and immediately started to laugh. So I looked up at Dunsuke, who was standing beside me holding an umbrella, and said, "The meaning of calling out three times should be that it agrees and does not oppose calling Xiao He, so it's settled!"
I opened the card with a heart full of suspicion, and the neatly and elegantly written characters quietly presented themselves before my eyes
Dear Ruya
The sky today is exceptionally blue, the clouds are particularly white, and the breeze is especially refreshing. Even the noisy chirping of the cicadas seems to have transformed into a pleasant melody. I arrived at school humming a tune and bouncing along to the rhythm.
I was feeling inexplicably confused when I suddenly heard Xiaoyi behind me exclaim, "Ruya, look!" Following the direction of her finger, I turned to see the photo and words on the blackboard, and my face turned pale at once
I understand. Since you have all made your decision, why ask me?" Ruiqing's last words were almost shouted. The moment he hung up the phone, I seemed to catch a glimpse of the pain that flashed through his eyes.
Xiaoyi's eyes sparkled as she rushed in front of me, excitedly asking: "What happened? What happened? Have you and Dunhe Yuan confirmed your relationship? Did you successfully confess your feelings to him? Or did you two kiss last night?"
As if, like Asia... a girl looked at me timidly, as if she had seen something terrifying
He suddenly tightened his grip on my hand, and I raised my head in disbelief: "What did you say? The person you like is me?"
Wow, Ge Ruya is so happy!
A despondent voice from Ruiqing came from behind me, I did not open my eyes, nor did I turn around, I merely nodded weakly
It doesn't matter? What can I say? Is everything I have witnessed with my own eyes a lie?
Should I trust him? Should I forgive him? Can I do that?
"It's nothing, really, just taking a look. Where are we going? Why have we been traveling for so long and still haven't arrived?" I kept talking to cover up my embarrassment
The rain continued to pour heavier, and during this period of my silence, Dunhua Yuan kept holding my hand. He sneezed several times, yet he did not speak to me, as if he were afraid that if he said anything, I would leave.
The moment I closed the heavy door, the world suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sound of my heartbeat and the occasional whimper of the little one in my arms. All sounds were blocked behind that thick solid wood door, and along with the sounds of wind and rain, the last words spoken by Dunsuke were also kept outside.
Your He Yuan. I whispered softly, He Yuan, when will you be mine?
The puppy gently barked twice, its two big, watery eyes looking at me pitifully, its furry body curled up into a small ball, and its pink ears trembling slightly. I looked down; although my home is on the second floor, it must seem terrifyingly high for such a small puppy.
As Ya ... ... '' he called my name from behind me, his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness, nothing like his usual self
"Like Asia, I like you because you are you." Ruiqing suddenly put away the mischievous smile on his face, lowered his head, and looked seriously into my eyes, "Because you are the only one, irreplaceable, the person I like is just like this."
Because this place is somewhat distant from the school, by the time we arrived, it was already dark. We stood quietly by the crystal-clear lake, with faint bird calls emanating from the lush green woods, and the purple lavender scattered all around exuded a dreamlike and enchanting fragrance
Downstairs, Dung Hu was still shouting, his voice lingering in my ears like a spell permeating the air, never ceasing, repeating over and over again. I sat on the bed in a daze, as if I had lost my soul. So much had happened today, too much for my mind to bear. It seemed that ever since the day I met him, my brain had started to feel insufficient, with too many things I couldn't understand or fathom, to the point that I felt exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Little one, please do not cause any more trouble, alright
"Hey, Ruya, have you noticed?" Xiaoyi suddenly poked my arm and said mysteriously
I gazed out the window in a daze, the sky had already darkened, and the fierce wind caused the branches to sway, resembling phantoms. The howling of the wind sounded exceptionally sharp and piercing in my ears
Now you understand the benefits of having a master of love! Xiao Yi said proudly as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder, her face full of self-admiration
Ruiqing's voice sounded very abrupt in the empty subway station, and I helplessly shrugged my shoulders. Is he confessing? It turns out that a confession can be so audacious.
Hello, isn't this the handsome guy from the neighboring school
How should I respond? Oh my, who can tell me how to answer? It's the first time in so many years that someone has said such a thing to me... Boohoo... If I had known this day would come, I should have read a few more romance novels like Xiaoyi to see how the female protagonist deals with such situations
Why am I so useless, that I became soft-hearted like this? I think if I had the time to make a judgment and choice, I definitely would not have come out, I definitely would not!
Perhaps, my liking for him is truly just my own affair I spoke softly, as if addressing Ruiqing, yet also as if speaking to myself
I... I pursed my lips and said with difficulty, "So what were you just saying to her..."
How is that possible? What is Yoshihara Dunga saying? I hurriedly shook my head, unable to believe my ears
I held the soft teddy bear, gently resting my face against the glass, the cool sensation seemingly alleviating the turmoil within my heart
What is it? Who is leaving? I turned my head to ask her after hearing the sound
A fleeting thought, a persistent notion... The familiar melody resounds once more... I instinctively glance at my phone, and only upon seeing the black screen do I remember that I had turned it off the moment I hung up on Dung Huayuan's call, so this ringtone is...
I will pick you up after school," he said to me gently
Hmph! It's nothing." He snorted coldly, seemingly not taking it to heart at all, "My parents are divorced, I..." He let out a light laugh, "I was just abandoned, that's all.
I have already developed feelings for you
Don't come here! I shook off her hand, and I haven't settled the score with you for sneaking off to have ice cream with Dung Huayuan behind my back!
Why don't you explain to me? Why only say that you like me? Why did I see Xin Xin kiss him? Why can't I find you at the subway station? Why is all of this happening? None of these things can be clarified with just a "I like you".
I gently rubbed the fluffy head of the puppy, repeatedly asking myself
"I have gone mad, ever since the moment I began to understand my own feelings." His voice remained so gentle, as he gently raised his hand and presented the little dog that was shivering in the rain before me. "Will you accept it? It is my gift of apology, and also my gift of confession. Luya, I like you, will you forgive me?"
She likes me and has confessed her feelings to me, but I have never accepted her. Seeing that I remained silent, he, who is usually so graceful, unexpectedly grabbed my arm in a fit of urgency
"Could you please give me a chance?" he said sincerely
Woof woof
I lay on the bed crying, my mind recalling that day at the bus stop when the boy gently patted my head and said, "It's okay, take your time." Thinking of his past tenderness made my tears flow even more fiercely. I clearly liked him so much; I could forgive him for one or two instances of hurt, but this time, I truly did not know how to forgive.
"I don't know about that matter." Dunge Yuan suddenly grabbed my hand, his expression urgent as he said, "Ruya, believe me, I really don't know. At that time, I was completely focused on waiting for you on the subway and had no idea she would come. When you saw us, I hadn't even reacted yet. Please believe me, I am not lying to you, nor do I want to deceive you." His gaze was very sincere, and I secretly felt a bit pleased in my heart. Please believe me, I am not lying to you, nor do I want to deceive you." His gaze was very sincere, and I secretly felt a bit pleased in my heart
As I was staring blankly at the card, a voice pulled me back to reality
"Who did this?" Ruiqing did not know when he had entered the classroom. I barely lifted my head to look at him, and saw him standing at the podium with a dark expression, glaring at the students below. The few people who had just been speaking incessantly were now completely silent.
The little creature in my arms was restlessly squirming. I lowered my head to look again at the card in my hand and the blooming rose, bit my lip, picked up the puppy, and turned to walk outside
As I watched his lonely figure, a wave of bitterness surged in my heart. How much suffering and pain has he endured alone? Behind his daily smile, how much loneliness and desolation lies hidden?
I raised my head to look at the sky outside the window, where thick cumulus clouds weighed heavily on the canvas of the heavens. The leaves rustled in the wind, resembling a group of frenzied dancers, twisting their waists to the rhythm of the breeze.
I playfully bickered with Xiaoyi as we arrived at the classroom, where I saw classmates sitting together in small groups, seemingly engaged in some discussion. Upon my entrance, they suddenly fell silent, causing my heart to skip a beat, and an ominous premonition washed over me
What happened? I asked, raising my eyebrows
I am really curious about this issue, because Ruiqing should be considered a boy who is quite popular among girls. When I say "should be," it is because Xiaoyi keeps mentioning to me that certain individuals from Class 1 and Class 3, as well as some others, are pursuing him both openly and subtly. However, from my perspective, I really do not understand what these girls see in him; what is so appealing about this boy who is always so cynical? By the same token, what is so good about a confused girl like me? But from my perspective, I really do not understand what these girls see in him; what is so appealing about this boy who is always so cynical? By the same token, what is so good about a confused girl like me? Why would he like me?
The puppy shivered, its big eyes wide with a look of sorrow as it gazed at me, as if blaming me, its new owner, for leaving it not only hungry but also out in the rain
The vividly beautiful rose appears exceptionally striking beside the snow-white puppy, with its green sepals seemingly cradling a ball of flame. The red petals gently curl back, revealing the delicate stamens within, while a waft of fragrance lingers in the room. The red rose symbolizes love, I wonder who has given me such a gift
Xiao's expression changed, and with a worried look, she said to me: "Ya Ya, what’s wrong? Is something the matter?"
Fool, of course it is possible
"Have you forgiven me?" Dunhua Yuan finally curled his lips into a smile, but then immediately sneezed, his nose turning red, resembling the wooden puppet Pinocchio from the story. Noticing me staring at him, he awkwardly reached out to rub his nose, which still had raindrops clinging to it
"Why aren't you taking cover from such heavy rain? Are you crazy?" After saying this, I felt a pang of heartache, unsure whether I was feeling sorry for him or for the poor little dog in his arms
I did not expect that the perfect prince could also have such childish moments
That night, I did not know how I fell asleep; I only knew that I was dreaming the entire night. The phrase "I like you" from Dunjia Yuan kept appearing in my dreams repeatedly, to the extent that the next morning, for the first time, I did not linger in bed. My mother found this very puzzling and commented on the event by saying— the sun has risen from the west.
Parents divorced, abandoned, such cruel words, yet he spoke them so lightly, how much pain must be in his heart? I suddenly recalled the scene from my last visit to his home, that battlefield-like room, and Ruiqing, who was so ill yet received no attention, now it all makes sense.
I know. His gentle voice reached my ears, and I was momentarily stunned, unsure whether it was the beautiful fireworks that dazzled my eyes or if everything was simply not real. I saw Dunsuke Haruka smiling as he reached out to embrace my shoulders, and then he softly whispered in my ear, "Dear Ruya, I have known your secret for a long time"
The voice of敦贺原 has been echoing in my ears, but fearing that I might regret it, I quickly ran back home, tears had already begun to flow down my cheeks
Yes, what is his relationship with Ge Ruya? It can't be...
Your congratulations
Is it true? Is it that perfect guy named Dung Huayuan? Wow, so handsome
There is something even more beautiful, look. He suddenly pointed his finger at the sky, and as soon as he finished speaking, fireworks erupted from an unknown source, blooming against the dark sky. The brilliant fireworks rendered the already unreal beauty of the place even more dreamlike. Under the dazzling and enchanting fireworks, I looked into the eyes of Dune Yuanyuan, so clear, so bright, reflecting a girl who was mesmerized. The brilliant fireworks rendered the already unreal beauty of the place even more dreamlike. Under the dazzling and enchanting fireworks, I looked into the eyes of Dune Yuanyuan, so clear, so bright, reflecting a girl who was mesmerized.
This place is so beautiful! I exclaimed sincerely. I do not know how Dung Hu found such a place; it is truly magnificent.
Sigh, Ruiqing is quite pitiful, as she will be leaving here in a few days. After hearing my response, Xiaoyi fell silent for a moment, then began to mutter softly in her seat.
"Remember to have breakfast, otherwise you will have a stomachache." When Toshiharu was leaving, he took down those frightening photos from the blackboard, then turned back and gently reminded me.
Hehe! Dunhua originally did not know why he started to laugh. He reached out and ruffled my hair, "I was talking about the next stop. You must have been waiting for me at the station I just left, right? I knew it, so I came to your house without waiting for you."
He walked straight up to me, gently placing the bag he was holding on my desk, and then smiled at me, saying: "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I bought you breakfast, eat it while it's hot." He continued to smile elegantly, but this time his eyes were only on me.
The sudden cry of the little creature in my arms pulled my thoughts back, and the corner of my mouth twitched slightly as I glared at it in annoyance
"Ruya, please listen to my explanation." He took the puppy from my hands and looked at me sadly, "I really have nothing to do with Xinxin, please believe me."
"Ruya, although you seem a bit dazed, I like you just the way you are. I notice every expression and every action of yours; I truly appreciate the authentic you. And..." He paused for a moment, a rare seriousness on his face giving way to a faint smile, though this time his smile was subtle, seemingly imbued with sincerity. "You are beautiful; you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
This voice is ... ... I suddenly raised my head and saw that Yoshihara was standing at the classroom door with one hand resting on the door. The sunlight streamed in from behind him, golden and radiant, as if he were adorned with a layer of golden halo. "A picture of grace" must refer to someone like him.
Oh? Today can't be April Fools' Day, can it
Is all of this true? Why would he like me? I am so ordinary and so foolish, why would he like me?
"I really have no relationship with Xin Xin, nor will there be one. I just don't know how to refuse others." He paused for a moment, looked into my eyes seriously and said, "Lu Ya, I will not be with someone I do not like, please believe me, okay?"
"So pitiful." I pushed open the window, and the wind lifted my hair, the tips gently brushing against my face. I stroked my hair lightly, smiling as I reached out to bring it in, "Alright, alright, no more fear, be good."
I was so flustered by his indulgent gaze that my heart raced uncontrollably, so I had no choice but to lower my head and speak loudly to mask my current nervousness: "Why didn't I see you at the subway station just now?" Thinking about this matter made me angry; I had waited at the subway station for so long, only to end up waiting in vain.
You have arrived. He remains as gentle as ever
"I am sorry, He Yuan." I lowered my head and said with a trembling voice, "I... I don't know what to do right now. I am sorry, I have to go back, you should go back too."
I repeatedly ask myself in my heart, yet I do not know how to answer these questions. I once liked him so much that I would disregard everything for him, but I have been hurt too many times. I still like him, but I do not want to spend those tearful nights alone anymore, for I fear that I no longer have the strength to endure the next hurt.
Beautiful place? When we arrived there, I realized that the "beautiful place" he mentioned was indeed so enchanting that it could almost be called a "fairyland"
Did you not accept her? But didn't you say on your birthday that you had someone you liked? Just now you were with her... My mind is once again filled with that unforgettable scene.
May I address you this way? I apologize, everything today is my fault. I am sorry, may I explain? This little puppy is my gift of apology, shall we call her Yaya from now on?
"I don't care who it is," Ruiqing said coldly, her sharp gaze sweeping across the classmates in the classroom. "Don't let me see you next time!"
After speaking, Ruiqing lifted his foot and continued to walk forward step by step. I quietly followed behind him, watching him. His tall figure appeared quite lonely in the dusk, and the elongated shadow on the asphalt road drifted around like a solitary soul, with nowhere to rest.
Woof woof
A wave of sweetness surged in my heart, but at the moment I looked at Ruiqing, I felt a twinge of reluctance. I asked him, "Ruiqing, what were you about to tell me just now?"
Woof woof woof
I carefully looked at myself in the glass of the billboard, with my straight black hair tied in the most ordinary ponytail, dressed in my school uniform, my eyes red and my face somewhat pale from the anger I had just felt. How could I possibly compare to her? ... No wonder he ... . ... A wave of pain surged in my heart, and I quickly closed my eyes, not wanting anyone to see my vulnerability
I cannot turn back, I cannot turn back! I keep shouting in my heart
He Yuan, I have a secret to tell you I said softly, biting my lower lip as a burst of fireworks rose into the sky
"Cry it out, it will be fine once you do." I said softly behind him. I did not know what else I could offer him, apart from comfort; I just wanted to give him as much warmth as possible, just as he had given me warmth when I was unhappy.
I turned around, my fingers rubbing Xiao He’s ear, looking helplessly at Dunhe Yuan, who was still standing under the tree. Sigh, I knew he wouldn’t let me succeed so easily.
The person I have always liked is you, and only you, and that has never changed. Dunsuke looked at me gently, just as I had seen him countless times in my dreams, with such deep affection and warmth. If it weren't for the many disappointments and the countless heartaches, I would undoubtedly choose to believe in him and then throw myself into his arms to embrace that prince from my dreams, but now...
Beneath the dim sky, his eyes, clear as stars, were filled with sincerity. The wind tousled his hair and lifted the hem of his clothing, yet he remained so graceful. He gazed at me quietly, as if he could see through all my thoughts.
Xiao Yi, this traitor! I cursed him silently in my heart, angrily raising my head to look at him, and asked: "What about Xin Xin? She was just on the subway..."
"It is me, Ruya." There is a person standing downstairs, wearing a gray tracksuit, with slightly long black hair and an elegant, slender figure. ... This familiar figure ...! ... It is him.! However, at this moment, his face lacks the calm and composed smile, replaced by a hint of weariness and concern.
Just as Ruiqing was halfway through speaking, a sudden voice interrupted. He and I simultaneously turned to look at the classroom door
It was only after his reminder that I realized we were waiting in different places; I was at this station, while the one in Tsuruga was referring to the next station. These are completely different locations, so how could we possibly meet? I truly am a fool
I remember asking my mother when I was very young why wedding rings are worn on the left ring finger. My mother said it is because that finger is connected to the heart, and love can only be united in a place connected to the heart to last until old age
Xiaoyi pointed to the romance novel and smiled at me, saying, "It's nothing, nothing at all, just discussing the plot."
What have you discovered? I asked, perplexed.
I hurried towards the stairway while holding Xiao He, fearing that in the next moment, Dunhe Yuan might change his mind. I felt as if I was flying even while walking.
I rolled my eyes at her
What happened? I asked softly
"Ruya, are you alright?" Xiao Yi asked with concern
I do not know where the courage came from, but I suddenly rushed up and hugged him from behind. I did not want to do anything else; I just wanted to give him comfort. I wanted to tell him that he is not alone, that he has me.
"No, not at all, it's just..." As I pulled away the hand that Xiaoyi had placed on my shoulder, I recounted to her everything that had happened yesterday. Finally, with a苦 face, I asked her, "Xiaoyi, what do you think Dungeyuan actually likes about me? I still have this very unreal feeling about it, especially regarding his relationship with Xinxin..."
Is there this as well? He smiled, his eyes filled with affection, and said, "Go ahead, as long as you forgive me, any problem can be addressed"
It is a bit cold today I walk side by side with Ruiqing on the street at dusk, the cool breeze gently lifts the hem of my school uniform skirt, and the suddenly lifted skirt resembles a blue flower, trembling in the cold wind
Looking at the empty room, I felt even more desolate, as my heart was already void of emotion.
What a cute little creature, how did you come here? I gently poked its furry little head with my index finger, "Huh? What is this?" I frowned, realizing that I had not noticed a card tied to the little dog's body, along with a rose.
rumble
By the time I got home, dusk was approaching, and I leaned against the window like a plant lacking water, devoid of any spirit. Ruiqing dropped me off at the door and left. My father was on a business trip, so I called my mother to ask where she was. She said she had to work overtime until midnight and might not come back, telling me to find something to eat myself
"Where is it? What nonsense are you talking about? Have your eyes grown on the back of your head? Hurry up and look at your book." I hurriedly replied.
"You sold me out?" I replied through clenched teeth.
On the blackboard, someone wrote the five large characters "Song Ruya, go die" in red chalk. Below those characters, photos were haphazardly pasted in all directions, each photo featuring me, and in each photo, I was edited to depict various methods of death. I felt a tingling sensation on my scalp, and a wave of dizziness washed over me, threatening to make me collapse. Behind me, Xiaoyi quickly reached out to support my swaying body.
I forced a smile; perhaps it is truly as Xiao Yi said, that I, this blockhead, will never understand it in my lifetime. I feel so exhausted, not sure if it is because I just ran and expended too much energy, or if it is due to mental fatigue. I feel so tired, as if I can no longer hold on.
It should be, right
He likes you, that question... " Xiao Yi interrupted my words, appearing deep in thought. " I am also quite confused, but regarding his matter with Xin Xin... " For the first time, Xiao Yi looked at me seriously and said, " Ya Ya, I think you need to ask clearly in front of Xin Xin and Dun He Yuan, otherwise you will still get hurt in the future.
Upon seeing her affairs exposed, Xiao Yi immediately smiled and took my hand, saying in a flattering tone: "Well... I'm just doing this for your sake, right? I noticed you looking dejected before, and when Dunjia Yuan came to find me again, I naturally felt it was my duty to..."
As soon as I arrived at school, I saw my dear deskmate and friend, Xiaoyi. The moment I saw her, I felt a surge of anger. I took a step forward, slapped my hand on her shoulder, and when she turned her head in surprise, I hooked my arm around her neck and said fiercely: "Xiaoyi, how does the ice cream taste?"
I understand. "Rui said lightly, and then said nothing more
On the way home, I called my homeroom teacher to say that I was feeling unwell and wanted to request two days of sick leave. This time, my homeroom teacher did not make it difficult for me and readily agreed, even kindly suggesting that I take good care of myself and recover soon
As I approached the stairway, Dunhua opened his mouth a second before I entered.
What do you like about me
I slightly tilted my body and secretly glanced at Ruiqing behind me; he was staring at me in a daze. How did I not notice this? Even if I were to be oblivious, I could still sense his sorrow. Ever since Dunjieyuan left in the morning, he has been looking at me with this mournful gaze, which has left me with a lingering sense of unease and guilt.
What could possibly happen? It's just that yesterday, I accidentally mentioned Dune Yuanyuan.
Well, I would like to talk to you, I ... ...
Xiaoyi's words cleared my previously chaotic thoughts. I looked at Xiaoyi and smiled, saying: "Xiaoyi, thank you for telling me this. I will go find Xinxin and make sure to clarify this matter. Otherwise, I still won't be at ease, feeling as if Dunhe's affection for me is just a dream."
