Seven

One day, my cousin was doing math problems, and she did not yet know what pi was. She asked me what π is. I told her that there are many, many numbers after π, which can get infinitely close to that value, but may never actually reach it

If Lu Yihan had nothing, would you still be with him

But I have no regrets, I do not regret

My head, which was already lowered, sank even lower after hearing his words. I dared not look at him. I thought anyone would find this unbearable—having one's girlfriend betray them with their best friend... This is a double betrayal

Lin Lanshan glanced at me, then at Chen Mobei, and smiled gently

Lan Shan is majoring in fine arts. I said, "No wonder, you have a certain artistic temperament about you, and this kind of temperament cannot be feigned."

But where is it clearly stated? Before I could say anything, Lu Yihan threw a punch at Zhou Jianian. Just as I was about to rush in to separate them, Zhou Jianian pointed at me and shouted, "Su Wei, don't move!"

She said: "My feelings"

I turned my face towards her and forced a helpless smile, not knowing how to tell her, "Perhaps for you, she is also a very important person"

However, ever since I received that phone call from Lu Yihan, my tears have been flowing continuously throughout the day

Yet I still waved vigorously, and he no longer wasted words, directly grabbing my hand that was filled with enthusiasm and stuffing it into his pocket. Our fingers were interlocked, and the position of our hands remained unchanged until we got off the train and met Lu Yihan and Qing Tian.

I was crying to the point of nearly dehydrating when I received a call from Chen Mobei. He first mumbled a few complaints, but upon hearing that something was off with my voice, he immediately returned to normal, saying, "What’s wrong? Let’s meet up!"

Zhou Jianian said: "Don't bother, she can't see clearly."

She continued, "I met someone, I handed this burden over to him, and he said he would take responsibility, so I am very happy"

When he asked this question, I was twisting my two hands together with such force that they were about to break. I wished so much that Lu Yihan would say, "Isn't it just one woman? You can have her" or even just "I don't know"; either of those would have made me feel a little better

I said, Lu Yihan, if you don't stop, I will die in front of you!

She scoffed and said, "Nonsense, there are countless country bumpkins in our courtyard who consider themselves artistic youths and wear heavy makeup every day"

However, she then objectively commented: "The figure is indeed very good"

Is there any way? Sometimes, love means betraying the whole world

I am so angry that I am rolling my eyes; I want you to cry for a few days to see what comes out, but I fear that even in my current state, I may not compare to you!

But he did not hesitate; he said, "No more."

I am someone who rarely sheds tears, not because I am particularly resilient or strong, but because in my previous life, there have been almost no unfortunate events. The most common reason for my tears has been watching very moving films, where I cry for the stories of others, which have no relation to Su Wei's life.

That afternoon, we sat on the second floor of the cake shop, separated by glass from the sweltering air outside, and I felt somewhat dazed

Lan Shan is such an astute observer of people's expressions and moods; she nudged me and asked, "Is this a very important friend?"

I fell silent at once, knowing that he was right. Lu Yihan usually appears to be quite gentle and refined, and no one has ever seen him lose his temper. However, such individuals are often the most frightening, as no one knows what they are like when they become angry

The faces of the four of us are all gloomy, and I wonder why this is necessary. I do not want anyone to be hurt; in fact, Jia Nian and I just want to be together, we simply want love.

Mo Bei looked at me for a long time. He told me that his father passed away when he was still quite young. He said to me that the reason he works so hard in life is that he hopes to ensure a happy life for his relatives and children in the future

She glanced at me, perhaps my expression made her feel there was no need to greet me, and so she walked straight past me. By the time I turned around, that red MINI was already nearly disappearing at the street corner

I was rendered speechless by her directness

Lan Shan had never smiled so gently before, her previously cold and piercing demeanor instantly dissipating. As she pierced a small piece of cake with her fork, I suddenly realized that she was also just a little girl.

I thought about it, and it doesn't make sense. Why call Qing Tian over for this?

However, I cannot cry; perhaps in my subconscious, I truly do not feel that I am unforgivable

But in the end, I simply shook my head and walked into the cake shop

I truly can no longer recognize her, I wonder how much time has passed, which devil has corrupted that pure soul? Who is this person before me that has the exact same face as Gu Meng?

Time flies like a white horse passing through a gap, and before we know it, it is already the time of Chen Mobei's graduation. Reflecting on when we first met, he with Gu Meng, and I with Lu Yihan, our lives were so simple then, and our happiness came so easily.

We inopportunely mentioned each other's most unwelcome names at the same time

I looked at the radiant Lanshan, who was smiling like a blooming flower, and suddenly felt a strong urge to shed tears for her. I nodded vigorously and, rather clichéd, said to her: "Lanshan, may you be happy"

Now I am no longer foolish, he is right, it is indeed necessary to clarify things with Qing Tian

Zhou Jianian and I were sitting on a stone bench in the square waiting for Lu Yihan and Qing Tian. I asked him, "Why choose this place?"

During that period, whenever I was not with Zhou Jianian, I was certainly with Lan Shan.

Jia Nian, I must admit that I am truly very sad, more sad than I have ever been. I do not even know if this wound will heal in my lifetime

I, as a person of stature, do not hold grudges against those of lesser character and have graciously forgiven her

He said: "Are you foolish? I have undermined my own brother, and this fight is undoubtedly going to happen. The space is larger, making it easier to take action"

Then we heard ourselves and each other simultaneously shout: "Shut up!"

Zhou Jianian asked him: "Do we still count as brothers?"

I covered my mouth, crying in a very ugly manner

It was a late night, and he remained silent on the other end of the phone for a long, long time. The moment I saw his name light up on my phone, I began to cry. I knew I was not an innocent person; I had indeed plunged a knife into his heart with my own hands.

As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, I truly wished I could dig a hole and bury all four of us; in the end, I took on the heavy burden of cleaning up the mess.

My heart is swirling with sorrow, pain, shame, and self-reproach

If I could cry at this moment, perhaps the atmosphere would not be so awkward

She suddenly smiled very happily. She said, "Su Wei, I have a burden that I have been carrying on my back for over 20 years, it is very heavy and oppressive, I am very tired"

I and Jia Nian, it is not like that

We happened to run into Gu Meng coming out just as we were going to buy a cake

Lu Yihan will not be left with nothing, yet Su Wei still left him; Su Wei did so for the sake of love

I made a slight effort to dress up for the first time and went to her school to find her. I stood under the camphor tree waiting for her, and when she approached, she raised an eyebrow and nodded, saying: "I really misjudged you; you are indeed a great beauty."

His voice was slightly choked, "Su Wei, I think it is impossible for me to reach a point where I can forgive you. However, you were once the most important people to me. I have no other choice; I can only leave this place and go far away. I hope that time and distance can dilute this anger and hatred."

Lanshan suddenly called out my name, and I snapped back to reality, staring at her in a daze

I shouted a phrase at Landing Meaning, and he stopped.

Qingtian, who was originally sitting on the stone bench crying sorrowfully, fainted at the sight of blood. I had no choice but to hold her tightly and slap her face vigorously. Those who were unaware of the situation might have thought that this rival was knocked out by my slaps...

Zhou Jianian gave my head a light slap and scolded me in a rough voice: "Did you not say so? A formal girlfriend should be introduced formally. If I don't clarify things with her, can you handle it if she comes looking for me for no reason?"

He waved at me and said, "Su Wei, although you must understand, I still want to say it to you in person: I am truly, truly, very serious about wanting to be with you well. I am really doing my utmost to love you. I do not want to say goodbye to you anymore; I truly do not want to see you again."

Regarding this answer, will Gu Meng be satisfied

After he left, I sat on the concrete floor of the balcony, crying until dawn

Carnival, to me, you are π; perhaps I have once been infinitely close to you, yet I can never reach you.

You and Gu Meng ... ...

What is in that bundle

I stood in the corridor wearing a thin nightgown, looking at him below the dormitory building. He stood like a child in the shadow of a large tree. We were separated by five floors, but this was not the final distance

The four of us emerged from the clinic, with Zhou Jianian's face covered in medication and a plaster applied, while Lu Yihan had her hand bandaged.

As Lu Yihan was leaving, Zhou Jianian called out his name towards his back. He stopped and turned to look in our direction, but he was backlit, and we could not see his expression.

But it turns out that it is not like this; in fact, you can treat a person gently, and you can also give up your freedom or even your best friend for someone.

When Zhou Jianian and I left the countryside, Grandma Zhou cried for a long time, saying that she was getting older and that each visit was fewer than the last. I sat beside her, crying along, and was shot several fierce glances by Zhou Jianian.

But I think, burdened with such deep sins, their happiness cannot be far-reaching

After we had walked a long distance, we could still see the small figure of the old man standing at the gate of the yard, and I waved vigorously at that figure with tear-filled eyes

I was completely startled by his shout, and by the time I reacted, Zhou Jianian was already covered in blood from his nose

We gazed at each other from five floors apart, and I was so choked with emotion that I could not speak

I looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she wanted to say

I once read a story about a woman who rushed into a church on the day her beloved was getting married and took the groom away. The bride was left alone, supporting her future father-in-law, crying out "Dad, Dad." The cake that day had many layers, with a pair of newlyweds on top, inscribed with "A Hundred Years of Harmony"

I was speechless; I believe Chen Mobei must not have told Lanshan that the relatives he mentioned also included Gu Meng, who had just crossed paths with us.

I believe I can answer Gu Meng's question now

I understand

When Qing Tian was leaving, I squatted on the ground and cried like a tearful person, hugging my knees. I did not see the hatred in her eyes when she looked at me; I only heard her say a long speech to Zhou Jianian.

Everyone says that woman is very brave, but I wonder if they ended up happy later

You and Lu Yihan ... ...

The one who broke the deadlock was Lu Yihan. He said: "Su Wei, I am not as foolish as you think. When you kept asking me about him, I realized that something was amiss... But I thought if you didn't come clean, then so be it; who hasn't had moments of indecision? I really didn't expect you... you all, to treat me this way"

She suddenly became somewhat melancholic, "One day I told Mo Bei that my mother once said that life is about luck. Throughout her life, she never encountered a man who treated her well and could protect her, but that’s okay, because many women do not. Mo Bei asked me, what about your father? I said I don’t know either. I have never seen him and have never asked about him.

How many unnamed emotions, actions, and intimacies exist in this world, how many embraces and kisses lack formal recognition, yet I know that we will not be like that

He said: "You have been with me for so long, and whenever I do something you dislike, you only argue with me; you never cry. I never expected that by the time you would cry for me, our relationship would already be different"

I appeared before Lin Lanshan in a truly disheveled state. This girl has a sharp tongue; as soon as Chen Mobei made a brief introduction, she remarked, "You are not as beautiful as I expected."

Ultimately, there will be vast mountains and rivers between us, as well as diverse groups of people with different skin colors, and there will be barriers of different languages and cultural environments.

My tears suddenly burst forth like a dam breaking

Once, I thought that you simply did not want to lose your freedom. I once believed that even if you were not with me, you would not be with anyone else. I deceived myself into thinking that this was acceptable; although you did not like me, at least you had not developed feelings for someone else. This was a comfort to me.
