Part 8

It is indeed I who initiated the breakup, but you refuse to acknowledge it and instead engage in intimate relations with the very person who prompted me to end our relationship, when it is clearly you.

Song Qingxi, you should go apply for a good person card—every time I see Zeng Ting and Liu Ziyu together, I tell myself this.

"Nine deaths and one life? Are you talking about your tenth love story?" Xiao Che blinked, resting her chin on her hands, and gave Zhong Shenyin a smile that was as sweet as could be. "But Zhong Shenyin, you must have been in love at least eighty times, right?"

If he doesn't poke at my heart, can he not survive! I silently imagined flipping Zhong Shenyin to the ground in my heart, and then stepping on him twice: "Compared to you, it's far from enough. Your healing is so swift and simple, like flowing clouds and flowing water, truly breathtaking."

Every time he or they see me, his expression seems as if I have cheated on him, run away, and abandoned him, revealing a hint of hurt.

There is no breath of anxious anticipation for a verdict in the words, the intonation slightly rising, drawing a perfect symbol of correctness in perception

"Zeng Ting, are you out of your mind or have you been poisoned?"

But in my heart, I truly felt at peace

What awaited me was Zeng Ting. In the dim light, I could not discern his expression, only feeling that his voice had a slight tremor

It is true. To develop a fondness for someone, to feel that they can walk together with mutual respect, is actually quite an easy matter. The only question is whether one can transform fondness into love, whether the love is deep or shallow, and whether the shadow in one's heart will exist for fifty years or a hundred years

I don't know. Perhaps it is indeed possible. I thought for a moment and replied. A friend is a friend; when facing Zhong Shenyin, I always feel that those thoughts buried in my heart, which constrict my breath, can be expressed simply and directly.

Yes, I am aware of that

But what can I do? I have already said that we should break up

"In fact, if Ke Yuchen truly perseveres in waiting for you, would you consider being with him?" asked Zhong Shenyan

Those hidden anxieties, the cautious fear of loss, are gradually, slowly being replaced by happiness

Rika said, "I am about to part ways with you, and it may be a bit sad. Regardless, I always hope to walk together with you in the same season and on the same path, to continue loving each other."

Remember those subtle temperatures and shadows that flow within the heart, those little tugs that are grasped and then released, the bittersweet emotions.

"Hey, is this how you treat your boyfriend?" Zeng Ting had a look of hurt on his face

It is indeed I who initiated the breakup, but it is clearly you who did not make any active effort to salvage the relationship

"Investigating how difficult it is to obtain your phone number. I am merely doing a favor. " Zhong Shenyan opened my hand, showing no sense of guilt, "Did he text you? What did he say?"

Then let me use my entire life now to make up for it He turned his head slightly and keenly detected the faintly willful tone in my words A familiar smile spread across his face, one that suggested he was in complete control of the situation: The person before you now is an upgraded version, an ideal one, capable of prompting you to reassess and give a high score to Zeng Ting.

Rika said, "I wish that Wanzhi would take the initiative to ask me out; there are not many times in a lifetime when that happens. If I don't wait for you to come, I will encounter the ghost of regret in my dreams at night."

Because I like you, I have my principles

If I promise you, I can accomplish it all

Alternatively, if I had never been able to be with him as I wished, perhaps I would not have seen myself so clearly.

However, at this moment, I do not feel that this scene is particularly lonely; rather, it leans more towards being lively.

It is normal to feel lethargic and unmotivated

In my solitude, I wish to open a door, to play a role that does not truly belong to me, with the aim of making another girl feel lonely

The only mistake is probably that she has fallen for someone who does not like her. Just like the person I like does not like me either

I originally thought he had taken a liking to one of the girls in our class, but he did not mention anyone else; the conversation kept revolving around Zeng Ting: "Zeng Ting stood in the corridor yesterday after school, looking at the sunset, and said to me, 'Song Qingxi will never pay attention to me again, right?' His tone was very sincere and sorrowful, and I have to admit that he definitely has feelings for you."

Knowing that I am going to Ke Yuchen's school to have fun for two days, he pounded on the table, almost roaring at me: "Song Qingxi, are you out of your mind?"

My sadness is not only because you have hurt me again, but also because you have become so adept at admitting your mistakes

"Who said that? Where is the evidence?" Even if one acknowledges Zeng Ting's wisdom and insight, there remains an instinctive desire to deny it, to escape from it

Zhong Shenyan asked me to tell you that "there is friendship in this world"

But if there had not been a brief overlap with him, followed by departure, perhaps the most correct direction would not have been found

"Hey, who gave you permission to say such cheesy things?"

In the end, all that remains are memories that must be desperately forgotten, so please do not show such a lonely gaze, please do not let me hold onto hope, please do not do anything at all

Afraid?

Standing at the door in a daze for a long time, I really did not want to push open that door. However, it seemed that Zhong Shenyin was aware of my hesitation and simply called my phone.

The amount of information on your face is already too much, making it quite irritating to look at. Dialogue and such are really unnecessary. My tone is soft and gentle, but the underlying meaning is definitely very cold

Isn't it just that Ke Yuchen is the one you need to worry about? You should at least have common sense if you lack knowledge! You know that Ke Yuchen likes you, right? What does it mean for you to go find him?

Therefore, I would rather confine that love within my heart, even if it is akin to a slow and painful death, cutting out flesh and blood from the deepest part of my heart, trying to escape and breathe.

Being constantly tethered to the past makes it impossible to find happiness. No matter how reluctant, how difficult, or how cruel it may be, it is still a necessary sacrifice that must be made, is it not

I do not understand what you are saying

Like a train about to arrive at the station, it suddenly came to a halt just before reaching its destination. I forced myself to remain calm while guarding a secret that I was fully aware of. When our gazes met, even our breaths seemed to resonate at different frequencies. The confusion in our eye contact might go unnoticed by others, but both of us were acutely aware of the turmoil, an uncountable performance unfolding.

Even without a breakup, the issues, disparities, feelings, and concerns that I once deceived myself into believing would not exist if left unaddressed still loom between us. Therefore, even if we are overly certain that we still care about these feelings, we cannot simply provide a resolution.

Since you said you wanted to break up, I have been thinking every day that you are just being stubborn, right? You don't really want to break up, do you? Just like before, no matter what happens, you wouldn't really abandon me, would you? If I just go to see you, everything can start over, right? Can you understand how I feel?

Zhong Shenyin was completely unfazed, still fixating on me, his gaze piercing like a torch

Rika said, "Love, in essence, is meaningful as long as you participate, even if it has no conclusion. The moment you fall in love with someone will never fade away. This will become your courage to live on, and it will turn into a ray of hope in your darkness"

Yao Xiao Che, although you have been pretending to be a young girl lately, I still do not find you cute

Song Qingxi, you have arrived

Song Qingxi, your greatest strength and problem is that you are too eager to show off. As a result, the one who suffers the most is not you?

I have been poisoned. I fell victim to a poison called Song Qingxi. Don't struggle with yourself anymore. " He had a determined expression on his face, " Clearly, you have never wanted to break up with me.

It is better to bury those memories from the past, for we do not have a future, do we

"Excuse me, what is your surname?" I was truly infuriated to the point of laughter.

I can feel that the people around are looking at Zeng Ting with surprised expressions, among them are likely several girls who usually have feelings of admiration for him

Therefore, Song Qingxi, it is better to give up futile resistance and quietly stay here

I did not anticipate that he could deceive me into coming here through Zhong Shenyin, nor did I expect that he would care about my relationship with Ke Yuchen. What I did not foresee was that he truly does not want to break up with me

I am still that impulsive, inflexible, self-righteous Song Qingxi, who makes decisions unilaterally. I have not become someone who can meet the standards I believe are worthy of Zeng Ting. Why is he unwilling to leave with the flow?

Strictly speaking, the school is not such a large place, and the probability of encountering people one would rather not meet is indeed quite high

Why can a person's mood change so rapidly

It is a good suggestion. Ke Yuchen's university is not too far from our city, and traveling back and forth on weekends is not rushed

I come to face my love.

You have confessed your feelings, and I have confessed mine as well; do not think that you can evade your responsibilities towards me. In any case, I intend to take responsibility for you.

I did not speak insincerely; I hate him. I hate the one who claims to like me. I hate that he is clearly by my side, yet makes me fear losing him more with every moment. I hate how popular he is with others. I hate that Liu Ziyu likes him. I hate that he allows me to act willfully, causing us to drift further apart.

Are you really going?" Zhong Shenyan looked at me

"Have you read 'The Little Prince'?" he said. "In 'The Little Prince', it is written, 'If you fall in love with a flower on a star, when you look at the sky at night, it is as if all the stars are blooming with flowers. When you gaze at the sky, and I smile at you from one of the stars, then for you, it is as if all the stars in the sky are smiling. Only you can see it.' This is like your universe, which takes on an entirely different meaning because of a certain person." When you gaze at the sky, and I smile at you from one of the stars, then for you, it is as if all the stars in the sky are smiling. Only you can see it. This is like your universe, which takes on an entirely different meaning because of a certain person.

Can it really be confirmed that it has indeed come to an end? Even when the pain causes uncontrollable trembling, I still cannot forget you, nor can I erase you from my heart. No matter how much we have quarreled, how disappointed we have been, or how determined I have tried to be, I still cannot escape. Perhaps it is simply because love is love.

"So you will forget Zeng Ting?" Zhong Shenyan pressed for an answer, "Really?"

Well, considering your proficiency in healing, this is not the first time for you

"What is the use of saying sorry?" I said softly, "Let me tell you, what you owe me cannot be compensated by a mere apology; you will never be able to make up for it in your lifetime."

Perhaps I had been in a daze for too long, when he walked to the door where I was standing, extended his hand, reached around my right side, and pressed the button on the wall. The entire room instantly brightened, illuminating my confusion and sense of disorientation, making them even more tangible

I heard the whispers around me—stemming from a genuine feeling of dissonance regarding the identities of "Zeng Ting," "top ten in the grade," "class monitor," and "romance," as well as the pairing with "Song Qingxi"

"Would you like to come and visit our school?" said the new university student Ke Yuchen, "The environment at our school is truly excellent, and I am really looking forward to you continuing to be my junior."

Indeed, I believe that you will easily and quickly forget about it

Fortunately, in modern society, communication is highly developed. I have gradually developed the habit of calling Ke Yuchen whenever I see Zeng Ting and Liu Ziyu together. Although I am fully aware that this is essentially an act of avoidance and may cause trouble for Ke Yuchen, this small act of willfulness and dependence, even though I know it is not entirely appropriate, is something I cannot completely let go of.

You will only go the week after next; please draw it for me this weekend or on Sunday, as a favor among friends, you understand. This is the last time, I beg you, I beg you.

What are you saying ...? ... It's just a short line—have you really decided to break up

I do not know, at least I will not be disappointed, this is how I have decided. I will just close myself off, seal my emotions, and form a cocoon.

I, along with those past experiences

"Alright, alright, I will leave now," he stood up and said, "I originally wanted to share with you my harrowing love story, but it seems you are fortunate not to have been involved in it."

Remember the warmth of holding your hand, the rhythm of your heartbeat, remember the feeling of missing you while standing by the sea, remember the thrill felt from a distance as I gaze at you, remember the pain sensed in my heart when you walk side by side with others and share a smile, remember the shock and ecstasy of being unable to breathe when you said "I like you", remember your gentle embrace, remember your hand affectionately passing through my hair, remember the perfect distance when you slightly lower your head and I slightly tiptoe, remember the gradual process of thinking and coming to clarity. Remember the shock and ecstasy of being unable to breathe when you said "I like you", remember your gentle embrace, remember your hand affectionately passing through my hair, remember the perfect distance when you slightly lower your head and I slightly tiptoe, remember the gradual process of thinking and coming to clarity

What?

The moment I received Zeng Ting's text message, I directly grabbed Zhong Shenyan by the throat: "Why did you tell him my new number?!"

Biting my lip, I close my eyes and take a deep breath, then open my eyes and extend my hand. Although I am not a Christian, I silently pray in my heart, "Lord, please forgive my sins"

Clearly, every day was the same as it was before being with Zeng Ting, yet there was always a sense that something was amiss, causing the feelings within to become different. The days without Zeng Ting in life were evidently far more numerous than the days with him, but he had appeared and then vanished, leaving time and the heart feeling utterly hollow.

I was stunned

Then receive a response—why

"It is very interesting to have a conversation with me, why don't you give it a try"

I no longer wish to explore the consequences, nor do I want to know whether we ultimately face a breakup or not. I only clearly know that it is only him, just him

This does not require a particularly keen sense

The despicable person is not here, so I can only implicate their accomplices: "Zeng Ting, what exactly are you here for?"

Originally, it was optional to go or not, but with their interference, I unexpectedly developed a sense of tragic necessity to attend.

Song Qingxi, I believe that Zeng Ting now knows how to make a phone call, yet he cannot grasp the feelings of the other party.

This is a fact, and it is stated in a declarative sentence. Therefore, I do not intend to respond, directing my gaze to the upper left corner of the desk, my face devoid of expression

He looked at her meaningfully and said, "I know, you know."

I simply forgot to change it. Being told that it was the main issue, I angrily snatched back my phone and said, "I will change it immediately"

I am very afraid, the distance is too far, you will really leave me like this. Because I understand better than anyone what kind of focus Song Qingxi has, I am more afraid than anyone that your focus will shift away, turning into a seriousness that I can never reclaim.

"If it is because I have not formally said that I like you, then I now officially tell you, Song Qingxi, I love you." His fingers moved slowly, yet the pressure he applied was irresistible, lifting my chin to meet his gaze. "Therefore, I do not accept your suggestion of a breakup, and I do not permit you to go to Ke Yuchen's side."

"What, is your boyfriend jealous of us?" Zhong Shenyan and Xiao Che were bantering. "However, Zeng Ting has already started to discuss the truths of life and the mysteries of the universe with me. What do you think of him?"

Can it be done? Hasn't it already begun to be done this way?

The intoxicating atmosphere lingers and permeates, while the sweet tension kidnaps reason

Cut. Zhong Shenyan and Zeng Ting, are they species of the same concept? Moreover, the movie is only a little over two hours long, so all movies are beautiful, while life is indeed too long

To speak earnestly, there was not much lingering affection in the past. Therefore, I did not expect that Zeng Ting would rush into the liberal arts class to personally confirm that I was sitting in my new position, with a face full of disbelief and a hint of hurt in her eyes

Upon pressing the connect button, he indeed shouted from the other end of the phone: "Song Qingxi, have you arrived yet?"

There is nothing I can do about him. I looked up and gave him an overly sweet smile: "Not at all, Young Master Zhong ~ I simply do not wish to engage in dialogue with you."

And how can you so presumptuously say such things in the manner of a "boyfriend"

I have waited for so long, yet you do not return to tell me that we are reconciled, I am truly frightened

Just like Akina Rika, in the end, she did not end up with Nagao Kanji

"Hello, are you cosplaying your true love again? Zhong Shenyin, please don't create too much trouble, alright? I don't want to help you; I certainly don't want to accompany you to hell" I lamented

Where can there be an exit from you, yet after I leave, where can I go

It is clearly an atmosphere where one can reach out and grasp it, a relationship where taking a step forward can eliminate the distance, yet it remains awkward, shy, and unable to feel natural and at ease

The time and place have been set, and I will inform you. He completely ignored my protests

What are you doing

Ke Yuchen is a good person. He does not value another "friend" more than he values me, he does not make me wait for him endlessly, and he does not allow me to like him far more than he likes me.

"There is no need for your opinion. Goodbye." Xiao Che waved his hand, indicating that he would not see them off.

"Song Qingxi, do you know? Your face is inscribed with four characters—pain beyond endurance." That scoundrel Zhong Shenyin, taking advantage of my moment of contemplation, actually reached out and poked my cheek.

I can only keep telling myself that this will pass. In less than a year, in just over 200 days, all of this will gradually fade away, forgotten, like a boat passing through water without leaving a trace, becoming a joke or amusing story that is seldom mentioned during class reunions, and even something I can share with future partners

Now is not the time to run away. If we escape, happiness will truly vanish into thin air, won't it

Zeng Ting never responded again

Little Che, who was engrossed in his homework, was almost scared to death by Zhong Shenyan's sudden bang on the table: "It seems you are crazier than I am!"

There is no way, said classmate Zeng Ting, life is clearly the same as every other day in the past, but for some reason, without Song Qingxi, it feels so hollow. Hey Song Qingxi, do you feel that your life has been hollow lately? Boring?

I said that the decision to "break up" should not be made solely by you, do you remember? He was not planning to let my silence go this time, and used a question.

If you are going to help, then help; being able to take the blame for each other is what makes us brothers

Indeed, once a friend becomes your opponent, they become the most formidable enemy—how despicable it is that he returned my words of sarcasm to me unchanged through Zeng Ting

I was wrong; it is not that I "once" liked you very much, but rather that I still like you very much now. However, could we refrain from mentioning the past?

Sent, successful

"Light beauty, how are you? Feeling quite down?" Zhong Shenyin persistently disturbed me.

The only concept, akin to traveling back in time 15 billion light-years to the initial singularity, is that I once believed the universe exploded violently from that singularity, expanding infinitely, giving rise to galaxies, and providing us with the Earth to inhabit, all merely for the encounter between me and Zeng Ting. This is the sole meaning of the universe's existence for me

Although I am certain that Zeng Ting has feelings and attention towards me that are different from those towards others

The heartbeat resonating from the chest against the ear feels like the deepest promise

I continue to read the magazine, blocking out their conversation. Whether or not Zeng Ting is doing well, I have no desire to know

How wonderful, I have trained a good man to be given to others for their enjoyment, am I not great

Am I hearing things?

Even if it is fragile, merely a cocoon of a simple posture, it has already exhausted all its forbearance and reason. Layer by layer, it wraps around, sealing away the memories that traverse time, sealing away the person who once spoke the ambiguous yet unforgettable words of "like".

The matters of this world are not as simple as one plus one equals two, nor are they as clear-cut as being either black or white

I need to think it over before deciding whether to give you the opportunity to appeal

Zeng Ting said that he finally understands my feelings, his own feelings, but he is mistaken; we are merely deceiving ourselves. He will never truly understand. As for me, I understand all too well.

I cannot smile in front of you

"If you want to talk, then talk." I sighed, feeling the most complex emotions of my life, unable to distinguish them myself. I could only keep staring at Zeng Ting, believing that the complexity in my gaze resembled a continuous layer of dark clouds.

So you see, how great I am, unable to give him the sky, I simply let him fly free. Although he does not, like Zhong Shenyin, take pleasure in dancing among the flowers.

It is indeed I who initiated the breakup, but it is clearly you who did not make any active effort to salvage the relationship

I really can't help but feel the urge to curse—Zhong Shenyan is truly infuriating. Can you please get it straight? I am the one who has been his desk mate since the fourth grade of elementary school, the one who has cosplayed as his girlfriend N times, and the one who has warded off countless unwanted suitors for him. It is I, Song Qingxi, not Zeng Ting!

My body is completely beyond the control of my own nerves, and I can only stare blankly at Zeng Ting, who is so close at hand

Indeed, I feel very sad not being able to see him. It is hard to bear the sight of his disappointment. However, I find some happiness in watching him wholeheartedly search for himself. Yet, seeing the lonely figure of him leaving brings me great heartache.

You just need to dress a bit more ladylike and appear at a specific time and place, it's quite simple

Zeng Ting looked at me, his voice not loud, but I could sense the certainty: "Then I will speak for myself. I know that heartbreak can be painful, but I did not expect it to hurt to this extent"

His attitude had returned to its former assertiveness, and the hand he extended exuded an unwavering determination, exuding a significant sense of pressure. I had no choice but to take out my phone. He took it, turned on the screen, and then smiled brightly: "Look, your phone's standby screen is still me. Are you still going to say you don't like me?"

Rika said, "I cherish all the memories of having loved you, the memories of being in love with you, and the memories of having been loved by you"

"Staring at the screen will not make it bloom into a flower." This fellow, Zhong Shenyan, is clearly in the science class, and is a classmate of Zeng Ting, who is in a loving relationship, yet for some reason, he enjoys sneaking into our liberal arts classroom to hang around as soon as class is over

I know that turning around means the whole world, but all I want is you

The first day of the third year of high school, a new classroom, a new environment, a new seat, I believe I should also have a new mood

I pretended not to hear his words, my gaze fixated on the magazine in my hands. The poignant and lingering love stories of others always evoke a certain resonance, and within their narratives, I find that my own emotions serve as a good means of alleviating my melancholy.

The standby screen is actually me

What kind of boyfriend? At most, he can only be considered an ex-boyfriend

At the very least, it will certainly be this way for him

Xiao Che probably finished the casual emotional exchange with Lu Wen and walked back to the classroom, interrupting the boring conversation between Zhong Shenyan and me: "Qingxi, you really seem to lack energy. Are you okay?"

You have a conscience

I turned my head and looked out the classroom window. The wind quietly passed through the summer days, and on both sides of the road, scattered unknown flowers bloomed here and there.

I don't need much intelligence; I can immediately think of the fact that I have been sold by Zhong Shenyin

It is as if I have finally seen clearly that Zeng Ting and I merely encountered each other and then parted ways, which is not something worth shouting about; it is simply that those moments have become blank.

I am not going to Ke Yuchen's side, alright

She is not willing to accept it. Zhong Shenyan bent his fingers and tapped on the table to draw my attention, "Don't be stubborn. If you really like someone, go and bring them back. You should know that people like me and Zeng Ting, who are pretty boys, are in high demand, just like in the movies"

I can go wash my face now

Are you too lazy to even give me a reason?" Zeng Ting looked at me, and I couldn't see his expression clearly. "Is Ke Yuchen that good to you?"

The hand that slowly wiped away the traces of water on my face exuded a careful tenderness, and I closed my eyes

Speaking of which, how has Zeng Ting been recently? Xiao Che looked at Zhong Shenyan and said, I heard that your relationship with him has been progressing rapidly, are you two getting along very well?

Occasionally, I might feel the urge to find a boy to act as a new boyfriend, to express the childish rebellious thought of "I too have my spring." However, with Ke Yuchen not around, it is still quite challenging to put this into practice

I stared at him, and he looked at me with an unusually serious expression

The Little Prince

However, I will always remember it

What makes me feel even more perplexed is what Zeng Ting said

Taking a break can also be a good choice. After all, many people travel far and wide to heal emotional wounds, and it must be effective

"Tokyo Love Story" is a very, very, very classic Japanese drama. However, ever since Xiao Che recommended it to me, I have been loving it continuously.

I changed my phone number, so I am unable to know if Zeng Ting contacted me during the summer vacation

I pushed open that door

"Let us trust you this once." I reached out my hand and tousled his hair

The air seemed to be cast under a spell of stagnation, partially blocking the light of the entire world. My field of vision was not so bright, the light was half clear and half dim, neither sharp nor dull, strangely imbued with a sense of reassurance. His fingers slowly retracted, landing on his chest, and his voice was low, almost as gentle as snowflakes falling on cherry blossom petals: "And here."

Zhong Shenyin, with his hands clasped together above his head, indeed exudes a hint of pity

What is it about Ke Yuchen that you cannot let go of? Even when you are with me, you seem distracted, yet when you receive his call, you become incredibly animated. You say you want to break up, and then you go to see him. Song Qingxi, didn't you once like me very much? Why do you now feel that Ke Yuchen is more important than I am?

What does this amount to now

If Zeng Ting is the Little Prince, then I am merely the fox that was tamed by love, and the only one he loves is that rose in his garden

What is going on? I won't be intimidated by Zhong Shenyuan's aura. Being guilt-free is that simple. Zhong Shenyuan, can you not make your thoughts so complicated? What does it matter if Ke Yuchen liked me? That was so long ago. If I were someone so charming that people wouldn't change their feelings for me, then I wouldn't have experienced heartbreak, right?

I looked at Zhong Shenyin, then glanced at the classroom door. "Please leave our class, it's so annoying."

I did not give him that kind of superficial smile, which I excel at and is primarily based on friendship, but instead, I met his gaze with a serious and clear attitude, and then I looked away

What a world it is, my friends, one by one, no longer love me blindly. Why does the heavens show such blatant jealousy towards me? I don't even have a boyfriend to be jealous of!

When facing Zeng Ting, there have always been many aspects that I did not anticipate

Silence is the appropriate response

But I want to be as brave as she is, to love wholeheartedly when it is time to love, and to sincerely confront my own heart and feelings when it is time to part.

"Fool." I looked at him; his smile was so silly and full that it almost overflowed from his face, truly an eyesore

Now that I think about it, I have never considered things from your perspective. Even if you are truly certain that we have indeed come to an end, I still want to say to you, I am sorry

However, it is evident that Zhong Shenyan does not think this way

In the eyes of my clock, Shen Yan, there is a brilliance like that of stars: "Can you really do it?"

"Alright... although I don't think Ke Yuchen would do anything to you... would you like us to accompany you?" Xiao Che said

He is certainly very good. Even when he is engaged in very important matters, he will answer my calls and respond to my messages immediately. He never hangs up before I do, I said word for word

You will really stay with me forever, right

"It's just a trip to relax, you don't need to be so excited, do you?" I twirled the pen absentmindedly, "With Ke Yuchen around, what are you worried about?"

This person excels at being clingy and acting spoiled, which is truly excessive

At this moment, I just want to find an exit to escape this chaotic absurdity; whether to love or not can be discussed another day

The dimly lit private room caused my pupils to take a few seconds to finally adjust to the disparity and clearly see the surroundings

And how can you so presumptuously say such things in the manner of a "boyfriend"

Staring blankly at Zeng Ting, who was slowly approaching, my body stiffened, losing all strength, and the sensation of my heart contracting was so intense that my breathing nearly ceased. Until his soft lips brushed against my cheek and lingered at the corner of my mouth, I remained unable to move, unable to breathe. I could only widen my eyes to look into his, feeling the tears surge in my eyes, while his warm breath spread a subtle tenderness across my skin, allowing me to sense his familiar scent.

However, Zeng Ting has always maintained her own attitude in any situation: "Although you look cute when you're angry, I still prefer to see you smile"

What did she do wrong

Just like now

"I beg you, that kind of prestigious university is not suitable for me."

"It's not that; I just feel so tired. I don't deserve you. This matter, you actually sensed it from the very beginning, didn't you?" I smiled faintly, "Really, believe me, you will easily forget me."

How could I not understand? I know it won't happen, that I can't wait for it, yet I still often stare at my phone, wondering if you will call me, if you will suddenly come to find me. So, how could I not understand?

I really don't know where that energetic and lively Song Qingxi, who used to be so noisy, has gone to now said Zhong Shenyin to Xiao Che

I am not as perfect as Lixiang. Her attitude towards love is natural, frank, and stubborn. Once she has determined her love, even in the face of disappointment and discouragement, she still gives her all and sincerely invests. Even when hurt, she conceals her pain with a smile, not wanting to add pressure or trouble to the person she likes

Are you willing?" Xiao Che asked

You truly have aspirations

Ke Yuchen is truly a super good friend. No matter the time, he always answers my calls, whether I am rambling endlessly or seriously expressing my sadness, he listens attentively and offers me comfort and responses

You have no authority over me

"Oh, look, everyone is so familiar with each other, so there's no need for pretense." I swatted away his claws as he tried to take my magazine.

Are you really going to meet Ke Yuchen? Even if I ask you not to go?

The one and only him

Between black and white, there exists a multitude of shades of gray. Will those trapped in these grays ever find a way out?

"Two students, it is like this, there is friendship in this world." I am trying to satirize this matter with a sincere demeanor

Indeed, everyone else is very good; in fact, every person in the world is good. However, no matter how good they are, they are not him

"Do you have friendship? Good, then can you do me a favor?" said Zhong Shenyin

It is indeed I who said we should break up, but the one who is indifferent, who does not pursue or care, is clearly you

It is said that the loneliness felt when one is alone is merely solitude, while the feeling of loneliness experienced amidst a crowd is the true essence of loneliness. Therefore, I am lonely

I know that I am in pain, and then I think of you, who feels the same way. It turns out that you have been experiencing this pain all along because of me, and it has lasted for such a long time

He also sensed the obvious and meaningful gazes around him, and then, in his usual calm and composed manner, completely ignored it: "You have changed your phone number."

Rika and Wanzhi met, she fell in love with Wanzhi, so she honestly wanted to be with Wanzhi, so she loved with all her might, and then gently left

I let out a long sigh and said, "Go ahead, how much did you give Zhong Shenyin?"

"Have I not mentioned it before? I like you," Zeng Ting extended his hand, "Hand me your phone."

I am afraid, of course I am afraid, I am truly afraid of losing you. So from now on, entrust all your tears to me, and I will take good care of them. Entrust your smiles to me as well, and I will cherish them dearly

Your question is too shining, I refuse to answer

Go. I am resolute.

I know that once I let go, who can say there will be a future? That is why I was so sad before

I am going to travel! I am making my final struggle

It is said that traveling is a good way to relax one's mind, consider it a means of leisure

How difficult it is to wait for someone, I finally understand. I am sorry. "Zeng Ting looked at me, revealing a smile that I had never seen before, one that was completely sweet to a certain extent.

Such a paranoid thought, Ke Yuchen said, is very touching

Zeng Ting, I dislike you the most. I dislike that I like you so much, yet you do not like me as much.

Every time I think about the fact that the person you placed in the first position is not me, I feel a chill and emptiness in my heart. He removed his hand from the keys, grabbed my wrist, pulled me to the edge of the sofa, and pressed me down to sit. He then sat directly on the coffee table, facing me very closely, and said, "In any case, let's have a good talk; it's quite strange how our relationship has turned out like this."

So what? Liking someone is not such a simple emotion

The door to the private room was pushed open by me and was not closed again. Various songs floated into the space we occupied, creating a mixed sound effect. In the long corridor outside, waitstaff walked by continuously, along with people coming to sing karaoke.

Following the text message sent by Zhong Shenyan on my phone, I found the private room. Various songs leaked out from the room, drifting along the path I passed, creating a mixed sound effect. In the long corridor, waitstaff walked back and forth, along with those coming to sing karaoke. The environment was not particularly quiet, yet it felt exceptionally lonely

In my memory, he leaned closer to me, slowly extending his finger to touch my temple, saying, "Here."

Remember you and the days of being infatuated with love

"I've arrived, I've arrived. I'm so annoyed." With that complaint, I hung up the phone

In the month since the start of the school year, I have encountered Zeng Ting five times and Liu Ziyu seven times, and Zeng Ting and Liu Ziyu have walked side by side eleven times. Can I conclude from this that my concession is valuable and that my ex-boyfriend is very happy to embark on a new chapter in his life?

Lixiang said, "My Valentine's Day is year-round without a break"

No one can turn around. Even if one is a bit lost in thought.

It is indeed I who said we should break up, but the one who is indifferent, unpursuing, and unconcerned is clearly you

Occasionally, I selfishly think, why isn't Ke Yuchen Zeng Ting? He is so good. He treats me so well

You think it's impressive that you've experienced a breakup, but have you ever gone through the same heartbreak twice for the same person like I have

"However, I do not intend to replace it." He held his phone in his left hand, similarly illuminating the display.

It is indeed I who initiated the breakup, but it is you who does not acknowledge the separation and is intimately involved with the very person who prompted me to end our relationship.

Give it to me

"Hey, have you ever thought about what Zeng Ting would think if she found out?" Xiao Che suddenly tapped the table with the end of his pen

But I have made my decision. I looked up at him. The light cast shadows on his face; a person who usually smiles warmly, when he adopts a serious expression, still possesses an undeniable presence, and is, after all, damn good-looking. "In any case, you never had the subjective intention of being with me from the beginning, and since our time together was not long, for you, these are all things that will be forgotten once they pass, so just forget them."

Staring at the screen for a long time, I typed a single character: yes

I am not seeking depth, but rather a certain style. Joking aside, Zhong Shenyan is still seriously assessing me, saying, "Although your senior Ke has already reported to university, if you need a shoulder to lean on or a chest to cry on, I am still here."

It is meaningless. Can't you pretend to be a little down? Someone has specifically come to comfort you

Why ... I thought for a moment and gave the answer: Because I hate you

Just as I did not anticipate meeting him, did not foresee that I would like him so much, did not expect to disregard myself in order to be close to him, did not realize that he would care about me, did not expect that he would be with me, did not foresee that we would break up after such a short time together

Everything feels like a dream. Subtle currents spread through the space, and when our gazes meet, my heart tingles. The sweetness of intoxication lingers in my breath. I can feel the warmth of each other's cheeks, as if we are in a magnetic field, drawn together by an irresistible attraction

Are you settling accounts with me for the fact that I did not quickly understand my own feelings at the beginning, punishing me for my belated awareness

What can I do if I am unwilling to accept it? Should I give someone the chance to reject me for the third time? Stop joking around

She taught me that love is a matter of oneself. To love someone earnestly may lead to profound regrets, but it is absolutely, unequivocally not a mistake

The only thing in this world that can leave me feeling listless is love

Oh my, in the smile of Zeng Ting as she turned her head to look over, there was unexpectedly three parts rogue and seven parts adorable, it was simply lethal
