Chapter Six, To the Dawn That Will Eventually Arrive

She was still full of grievances, and how could I not be filled with confusion as well? However, I said not a word about the dry cleaner being vandalized or the injuries. I took her hand and said, "Xiao Han, I have booked a private room; let's go sing!"

I will take you to the hospital for a bandage; if it gets infected, it will be troublesome to recover. Let's go disinfect it while we still can

Moxi, is your heart really made of flesh? If you have never liked me, why did you not refuse when I helped you fetch water? Why did you accept my help when I served you food? Why did you let me go to the library to borrow books for you? Why did you allow me to clean your office? If you truly dislike me, there is no need for you to agree to these things, and I would not have to foolishly believe that I could still win your love

I made an appointment with Lin Xiaozhu at the restaurant located at the entrance of our school

I reminisce about that carefree past, when she and I were still carefree and untroubled. At that time, she was busy evading romantic advances every day, while I was constantly revolving around Moxi.

I turned around and left the ward, calling Sister Zhang from the bookstore. She is the only person in this chaotic world who lives a life of tranquility and peace

Sister Zhang, are you busy? Because things are going very well at the bookstore, and I get along particularly well with her. Moreover, this is the season for graduate school entrance exams, so the bookstore should be quite busy. It is indeed not ideal for me to leave at this time.

There are no results, yet I am very happy

Hello, Qingtong!

Lin Xiaozhu did not notice Mo Xiyi's expression at that time, but I saw it very clearly

I was stunned, and at that moment, all the scenes came to a halt.

He was so angry during the listening process that he stomped his feet and cursed loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire restaurant

I was taken aback for a moment, then I smiled wryly; how could I not also envy you

"Alright." He responded cheerfully as always

I smiled at her gently: "Sister Zhang, you are mistaken in saying that. You are the boss, and I am the employee. It is only natural for you to ask me to work. Why should you feel embarrassed about it?"

I stood behind him, observing the sharp contours of his profile

Moxi, why didn't you tell me earlier that you actually don't like me at all? That way, I wouldn't have to shed so many innocent tears

I was in a panic. After the last incident, fear arose in my heart, and for a moment, I was at a loss for words. I quickly called Aunt Li, and with her help, we rushed to the hospital

I was organizing the customers' orders in the store when I heard some noise outside the door. I stood up and glanced towards the entrance a couple of times

I once thought that she had deceived me, and I still had reasons to hate her. At the very least, I remained that kind-hearted Cinderella.

If I previously had a somewhat negative impression of him, and that impression had not been completely eliminated, then after this incident, my view of him has changed

Convenient

Why did Moxi's entire face become anxious and dejected after he finished speaking

He was intently reading the book in his hands, seemingly unaware that someone was approaching him

You probably feel that your presence has been too weak, which is why you suddenly speak up at this moment: "Lin Xiaozhu, if you really like her, then tell her. Don't wait until you miss the opportunity and regret it later"

Qingtong, are you still angry about the last time I deceived you? I... I really didn't mean to... Her pitiful appearance truly made it impossible for me to be harsh, and I almost surrendered in that moment.

Tears streamed down my face without my realizing when it happened, but I wiped them away in just a second. The moment I looked up, I saw his eyes.

Goodbye, never to be seen again

The sky at this moment seems somewhat different from usual, a bit desolate, a bit vague, yet it possesses a greater sense of expansiveness

Indeed, he certainly does not know why. To him, I have always been an inconspicuous presence. How could he possibly understand my thoughts

I even want to say, Moxi, are you a puppet? Why do you always remain motionless when everyone speaks to you

Every time I visit Ye Bihan and see her in silence, I feel that the slap I gave Yi Dan back then was not harsh enough, not harsh at all

She was intimidated by my stern demeanor, it seems I still hold a bit of authority at home. She had no choice but to compromise: "Alright then, just for one week. After one week, once I am well, you will obediently return to school."

I am not busy, do you have time this afternoon? Come to the bookstore for a visit, don't worry, today is not about making you work, I have prepared some delicious food today

Qingtong, would it be convenient for you to come out and sit together?

Why is my heart beating so violently

Now, he and I are gradually drifting apart, like two parallel lines, and there will no longer be any intersection between us

Cheng Qingtong, you really can meddle in other people's affairs!

But now, it seems that many scenes have settled into dust, yet they have become unhappy, and everything has turned sorrowful, mixed with an impenetrable haze, while all of us are shrouded in this haze, unable to see the past, let alone the future

Cheng Qingtong, your bones are quite tough

Why did Lin Xiaozhu say "Aren't you the same?"

Cheng Qingtong, weren't you very arrogant? Weren't you very impressive? Why aren't you being boastful now! Let's perish together! Come on! He advanced towards me aggressively, and I retreated step by step. Although I was reluctant to admit it, I was indeed trembling all over.

Easily angered yet speechless, those people saw things being smashed and others being frightened. When they saw someone approaching, not wanting to get involved, they all turned and left.

And have I not also felt that I have changed from who I was before, but can this be blamed on me? Who can say that this world has not become so cruel and inhumane! I can only choose to change myself to adapt to it, making myself less susceptible to being hurt.

Such a beautiful face, such dark eyes, yet I have never been able to discern what he is thinking in his heart

Mom! Mom, what happened to you...

Alright, I promise you

Xiao Han, I have completed the discharge procedures, let us go

Later, I took her to our favorite barbecue restaurant, retracing the familiar paths of the campus, seeking out some images from memory, and also slowing down the pace of life

His expression was: It turns out I do not need to be present, or perhaps, I am merely an unnecessary person

Even now, I cannot be completely honest with her. Although it is a lie told with good intentions, it is truly quite difficult for me to keep something from her, as I have never hidden anything from Xiaohan. Regardless of the reason, I have never concealed anything.

Having said that, we exchanged a smile.

Regardless of whether it was out of humanitarianism or compassion, he ultimately made me feel a little warmth

The white-clad youth of that time still appears to me as flawless and perfect

"Stop talking nonsense, I have endured more pain than you have eaten meals, how could I not know whether it hurts or not?" His voice was impossible to refuse, so serious yet it made me feel incredibly warm, even more so than the warm sun in winter.

In this light, she seems to be the gentle and beautiful girl she once was, yet the smile on her face is gone. That girl, with such a lovely appearance, so kind-hearted, who only knew how to think of others, has been cruelly toyed with by life.

He sat across from me, skillfully lighting a cigarette and exhaling smoke in front of me

He chuckled lightly: "What, why?"

I walked up to Yi Dan, and Lin Xiaozhu took down the burlap sack

Ye Bihan: "Qingtong, thank you for being there; it is with your companionship that I have been able to persevere"

Look, we are all reminiscing, reminiscing about that blazing summer, that moment when everything had yet to begin

What he said today was no longer just simple "uh", "oh", and "you’re welcome". He walked up to me, shielded me behind him, and I caught a whiff of his pleasant scent, which suddenly made me feel at ease, as if the moment he appeared, the entire world became safe.

I instead went straight to the point: "Gently, I have some matters to attend to this afternoon. If you have something to say, please do so quickly." I can even feel my own impatience in my words.

It was only then that he noticed someone standing beside him. Upon seeing me, he was initially a bit surprised, and then smiled slightly: "Cheng Qingtong? What are you doing here?"

Yi Dan, what do you intend to do? Do you still consider yourself a man, bringing a group of people to bully a girl?

He chuckled, his face full of smiles: "Rest assured, my lips are tightly sealed."

He still left his back to me, but this time I did not watch him walk away. At this moment, Sister Zhang came out from the inner room. She did not speak, but just stood there looking at me. I looked up and saw pain in her eyes.

What is the matter, do you have something to discuss with me

Lin Xiaozhu, are you not going to ask me what I want you to do

Alright! I understand now, I will come back when I have time in the future

My thoughts drifted to the infinite distance, recalling that midsummer

"Why give me hope! Why walk with me in the hospital? Why ultimately let me join the literary club? Why take me to your secret base? Why tell me the story of the girl you have a crush on? Don't you know that all these things you do will only lead me to misunderstand you, making me think that, in fact, you don't really dislike me, and that you actually like me a little!"

It is just that sentence that sounds strange: I envy you for being able to live so beautifully all the time

Ah, Cheng Qingtong, isn't it a bit late for you to say that now? When you brought a group of people to beat me up back then, did you ever consider that one day I might come to seek revenge on you!

Perhaps it is an illusion, or perhaps it is not

I detailed the matter of Ye Bihan to him and spoke about Yi Danping's character.

I mutter to myself: "It's good as long as there is nothing wrong, it's good as long as there is nothing wrong." My heart can finally settle down

At this moment, I was not happy, and I hoped even more that he had not been beaten.

I was evasive and casually brushed it off: "The glass at the dry cleaner's broke that day, and I accidentally got scratched..."

Yet I had not heard anything; he had actually greeted me several times with "Hello" on the other end of the line.

After that, I spent almost all my spare time at the dry cleaner. It was then that I realized that washing clothes for others is such a tiring task

Fortunately, the heavens have eyes, showing mercy and not destroying this girl

It used to be that I would turn a blind eye to many things, but now, don't you think you are going too far

She suddenly saw me and greeted me gently: "Qingtong, you are here. Look at all these books scattered on the ground..." She shrugged and smiled playfully. It is quite rare to see such a playful smile on her face, and you wouldn't find it strange at all.

Through several communications and mutual cooperation, we have become very good partners

"No one is willing to be my friend, only Moxi is. He is willing to stay with me when no one pays attention to me, willing to drive away all those who bully me. At that time, when everyone else did not understand what love was, I was certain that I would definitely marry him in the future!" She spoke with a smile, gently taking a sip of her coffee: "But Qingtong, the doctor said I don't have much time left... So I have to muster up the courage..."

A faint "oh" bears a striking resemblance to his previous words of "no need to thank" spoken to me on the bus

Sister Zhang's words have warmed me for a long time

If there is nothing else... I will take my leave first, Wenrou is still waiting for me. His suddenly cold voice pulled me out of the illusion I had just experienced

My voice was cold and indifferent as it traveled through the receiver: "Hello, Lin Xiaozhu, I would like to ask you for a favor. Can you agree to it first?"

I want you to help me beat someone, his name is Yi Dan. I have been keeping my head down and not looking at him. I have never been involved in such matters as hitting someone, so now it feels almost like I am about to commit a crime.

Qingtong, do you know? I particularly envy you

However, do you know that even if time were to rewind, I would still want to see you at that moment, regardless of the cost? I want to see the slight disappointment on your face, to let you know what it truly feels like to be neglected, and how I have been struggling to survive despite being repeatedly overlooked.

The unfathomable depths of his eyes seemed to draw me into his pupils, and in that moment, I felt that I occupied a place in his heart, for I truly sensed the pain reflected in his gaze

She became busy again

It is he, Moxi Yi

Just as I was about to immerse myself in this warmth, I suddenly heard Moxi Yi's voice. He silently lowered his head, gazing at the chaotic ground. He had originally been very close to me, but after Lin Xiaozhu entered, he stepped aside, as if he felt he had no qualification or reason to stand beside me, as if it was only natural for him to move aside.

I am rarely this calm in front of him, and curiosity is evident in his eyes

Yi Dan's face was filled with suspicion, unable to believe as he turned his head back, gradually loosening his grip in his hand, and when he turned around, he saw him

Her slender arms pulled me into her embrace, and I leaned on her shoulder, beginning to cry uncontrollably

I was initially concerned that this matter would affect Ye Bihan's reputation, but seeing his sense of loyalty, I decided to inform him of the situation

The cold wind was somewhat biting, the streets were bustling with traffic, yet for the first time, I felt a sense of loneliness

Things always seem to come together at once

Doctor: "You children who have become parents do not understand how to take care of your own parents at all, you only think about yourselves all day long, sigh..." As he spoke, he shook his head and walked away, occasionally saying: "Today's children only know how to use and wear brand names, they are all spoiled..."

Alright, let's have dinner together in the evening, and I will inform you of the specific details then

If it were in the past, I might have confronted him with hostility long ago, but this time I said nothing, merely waved my hand repeatedly, trying to disperse the smoke in front of me

Cheng Qingtong, if I have done anything before that led you to misunderstand me, I apologize here, I am very sorry for the misunderstanding. Now, I can no longer delay, Wenrou... is still waiting for me. He spoke lightly, as if saying "I am going to have a meal" or "I am tired," in a casual manner.

I was unable to fathom the inner worlds of the two of them at that time, and all sounds came to an abrupt halt at Lin Xiaozhu's words, "Aren't you the same?"

"Hello, gentle one." The tone was cold and indifferent, as if speaking to a stranger

Lin Xiaozhu later told me that at that time, my appearance was quite frightening, and my crazy demeanor made me seem unfamiliar, almost genuinely scaring him

The doctor walked out of the ward, his expression quite calm, yet carrying a hint of reproach: "The patient is not in serious condition, just a bit of high blood pressure, coupled with some excessive fatigue, which is why he fainted."

Wearing a mask for too long, one becomes unable to see anything, and others cannot see your true heart either. Do not wait until you have lost something to realize its value

No one spoke anymore, I even stopped breathing, those scattered fragments lay quietly on the ground, in the corners, everything was still, as if the dust had settled.

If I had not been in the store all this time, I think I would never have witnessed this scene, nor would I have known that Mo Xi was not my enemy after all; for the first time, he stood on my side between others and me

I swear I will never forget Yi Dan's face, which bore a smile that was almost sinister, grinning at me.

"Cheng Qingtong, when did you become mute? Why aren't you speaking?" Lin Xiaozhu was incessantly shouting from over there, and it was only then that I was pulled back by his voice

No.

I still went to the hospital, but my main purpose was not to bandage my own wounds; it was to pick up Ye Bihan from her discharge. When I entered the ward, she had already tidied up her bed and was organizing her clothes. As I walked in, the sunlight streamed through the window, perfectly illuminating her face

Do you want to resign

"Little Pig, it doesn't really hurt that much, not at all, really." I said this entirely to reassure Lin Xiaozhu, but in reality, the wound had opened a large gash, and at that moment, it was burning with pain.

I called his name in a deep voice: "Moxi..."

Lin Xiaozhu was the first to rush out, placing a sack over Yi Dan's head, followed by a flurry of punches and kicks from the crowd, while Yi Dan was completely unable to resist

I haven't been to the bookstore for several days, and Sister Zhang called me, asking me to come help early tomorrow morning. I repeatedly agreed.

Qingtong, I am almost ready. You should focus on school tomorrow and not keep running back and forth. It must be exhausting for you to be running around all day! I can manage the dry cleaning shop.

Once again, it is a passage of nearly uninterrupted words, a passage that I have long silently recited in my heart countless times

"Moxi, why are you here?" His hand completely relaxed

"Cheng Qingtong, what happened to your hand? Why is it injured?" Ye Bihan asked anxiously after discovering my injury

Sometimes I envy Lin Xiaozhu's carefree nature; he can love and hate so openly, unlike me, who loves so deeply, only to find it ultimately amounts to nothing

And now, she has stated such a fact, how can I still harbor any hatred? At this moment, I can only play the role of the best supporting actress.

"Yes, Sister Zhang, I am truly sorry, I really have no other way..."

Sister Zhang! Before she could finish speaking, I quickly interrupted her, "Sister Zhang, my mother is ill, and I may not be able to work at the bookstore for a while. I want to take more time to care for her and also keep an eye on the dry cleaning shop..."

Upon hearing this, I felt a jolt in my heart. Although I do not wear or use luxury brands, I have indeed never done anything for her.

Yet within my heart, a tumultuous wave is surging

Yi Dan knelt before me like a madman, his hair disheveled, and blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. I will never forget the look of terror in his eyes at that moment, resembling a startled horse.

Why? Why is it Moshi?

Friends do not have an age gap, do they not

Lin Xiaozhu was taken aback and hoarsely asked, "What did you say?"

Moxi's expression was one of desolation, yet his tone was earnest and heartfelt. As I listened, I felt a strange sense of sadness, wanting to ask him why he would say such things, but the words caught in my throat, and in the end, I swallowed them down.

She was lacking in spirit, but I still forcibly pulled her over

I thought he merely liked me and had no ill intentions, but who could have known that human hearts are so difficult to gauge. I was almost ready to trust him and regard him as a friend I could rely on

I entered the ward and saw her peacefully lying on the hospital bed, her breathing steady, deeply asleep. It is easy to imagine that she must have gone many nights without proper rest. I do not know when it started, but wrinkles have crept onto her once smooth face, and they are becoming deeper, leaving cruel marks of time on her visage. ... It seems that I have not looked at her face so seriously in a long time ... I do not know when it started, but wrinkles have crept onto her once smooth face, and they are becoming deeper, leaving cruel marks of time on her visage. ... It seems that I have not looked at her face so seriously in a long time ...

Others overturned the hangers, knocking over many displays in the laundromat, and the glass on the door was shattered. At that moment, I truly wished to tear him apart, but my heart was willing while my strength was insufficient. He gripped my wrist tightly, causing me great pain, and tears were almost about to fall, yet I remained silent.

A figure appeared at the entrance. I hoped it was a customer who could witness the disturbance here and report it to the police.

Sometimes I feel that Sister Zhang lives in another world, a world that is exceptionally tranquil, like a paradise untouched by the disturbances of the outside world. She has always been immersed in the sea of books, lost in her own little world.

A resounding slap landed on his face, and I held my head high, facing him with my nostrils: "Yi Dan, since I, Cheng Qingtong, can say such words today, I will certainly follow through. At worst, we will perish together, and both fish and net will be destroyed, I will die with you!"

If you want me to know, you will naturally tell me, but if you do not want to say, then if I insist on asking, wouldn't that be quite ungrateful?" From the other end of the microphone came a "chuckle" sound, and I could sense that Lin Xiaozhu must be laughing at that moment, and it was the kind of mischievous laugh that was endearing despite its naughtiness

But now, Ye Bihan, even we cannot be completely honest about everything

She still wore her bangs, but she seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight, not resembling someone in the throes of passionate love. Her cheeks were slightly sunken, making her eyes appear even larger. She said, "Qingtong, you are here." Her voice remained as clear and crisp as a mountain stream, yet it carried an added softness.

"Cheng Qingtong, so your weakness is that you can't stand the smell of smoke!" He still wore a playful smile.

Once, Cheng Qingtong was always accompanied by Ye Bihan, but now, even she, who has always been by my side, lies in the hospital, and loneliness arises spontaneously

Ah... so much sincerity, so much dedication, so much willingness to go through fire and water, and you think a single apology suffices? Mo Xi Yi, you are truly ruthless, you have guts, I, Cheng Qing Tong, am ashamed in comparison!

I dislike this phrase, because she greeted me the same way last time

I gave a cold smile: "Alright, goodbye, Moxi Yi."

Lin Xiaozhu seemed a bit anxious upon seeing my injury. She looked up, slightly furrowing her brows as she gazed at me, the seriousness in her eyes being a rare sight.

Do not dwell on it; it is not a big deal. You should be grateful that you recognized his true nature so early. In the future, you must avoid him.

He placed the book in his hand on the bookshelf, took down another book, slightly turned his body, revealing his familiar profile again

Do not misunderstand, I am not intentionally following you, I am an employee of this bookstore, and I work here part-time

He took a sip of tea and continued to ask, "Then tell me why I should hit him, since you want me to take action, you must give me a reason."

I went to my mother's laundry shop in the evening, where she was sorting the customers' clothes. Suddenly, she collapsed right in front of me

It is he, Moxi Yi. A scene I had never imagined unfolded; he appeared in my time of peril.

At this moment, the store is very quiet, and there are no customers.

Ultimately, life must move forward, and all stories must continue

The next day, I got up early and went to the store

It is quite rare; he smiled at me so proactively for the first time and gently called my name.

He quickly picked it up

Lin Xiaozhu, this matter is related to my best friend, and it is quite serious. I can tell you, but you must keep it confidential

As I stepped out of the hospital doors, I looked up at the sky

In the time that followed, he continuously made phone calls to his brothers. Some readily agreed, while others found various excuses to decline. Those who agreed became the brothers he spoke of, while those who could not come were all placed on his blacklist

He always makes it impossible for others to get close to him

When he saw that the person in front of him was me, the fear he had just felt diminished somewhat. People are always like this; they tend to be afraid when they do not know their enemy. However, once you understand the enemy's combat capability and the reasons behind their actions, you become emboldened.

He walked out the door, and I almost collapsed onto the ground. The dry cleaning shop was in complete disarray, and the source of livelihood that my mother and I relied on was reduced to this state by someone.

When I cannot see you, my heart will not stir; if my heart does not stir, then it will not ache

He burst into the dry cleaning shop with a group of people

Why did she hit you? Don't you know?

No, you are overthinking it. Even if it wasn't me in the last incident, you would have found someone else. Moreover, you haven't deceived me in any way.

When I saw the words "gentleness" on the phone screen again, I was stunned for a second, and then quickly answered the call

Yi Dan still refused to give up, but seeing how Mo Xi was accommodating me, I decided to let it go: "Cheng Qingtong, our matter is not over, just wait and see"

I finally understand that everyone has unspoken pain. And Moxi chose to protect her

We went singing together, I chose "To Youth," and she chose "The Summer Blown by the Wind"

I spoke at length, my voice hoarse and exhausted, while he held the book, pretending to be calm and motionless

Yet, I ultimately mustered the courage to ask the question that had been lingering in my heart. Years later, I still feel grateful that I was able to encounter him here at that moment, regardless of the pain or hurt; it was still a meeting that once occurred, and I do not regret it. Otherwise, I do not know when I would have found the courage to ask such a question, nor do I know when I would shed a tear in front of him, and even less do I know that he too would hesitate and be vulnerable.

We agreed to meet at a café near the school, and by the time I arrived, she was already there

If that is the case, it means that Ye Bihan is neither ill nor hospitalized, and our lives continue to be as joyful as ever

We scheduled the time for after school on Friday, at which point Yi Dan would be heading home. Our group then positioned ourselves along the usual route he takes to return home.

She said: "Cry, Qing Tong, if you want to cry, cry out loud; no one here will mock you"

The ground was covered with books, and she moved among them, deeply engrossed. Her hair fell down as she lowered her head, and her expression was focused, seemingly unaware of my entrance.

I envy your courage, your carefree spirit, I envy that you can see Moxi all day long, I envy that you can live so beautifully like this... Her lips curled up slightly, like a girl who yearns for infinite beauty, curiously gazing at this world

I lowered my head; at this moment, facing him is truly somewhat difficult

"Let her go." The familiar voice that reached my ears was serious and powerful, suppressing the flames within.

Qingtong, do you know what it feels like to be labeled with congenital heart disease from the moment you are born? You cannot run, cannot play like other children, cannot attend school normally, and even cannot drink too much coffee. I have been living in constant fear all this time

After a long time

Things always seem to like to converge at this moment, and at this time, Lin Xiaozhu pushed the door open and entered. In fact, he had already been waiting at the door for a while, but he just did not come in

Now is not the time to discuss my weaknesses. Let me first address the matter at hand with you

He looked completely unconcerned: "Is this it? I thought you were going to tell me something significant. It's just a trivial matter; did you really need to call me out separately for this? A simple phone call would have sufficed." In his eyes, going to beat someone up was as enjoyable as having a lavish meal.

He closed the book, turned to look at me, his brows furrowed, a look of worry etched between them: "Cheng Qingtong, do not make unreasonable demands. I came here only to help Wenrou borrow a book, do not overthink it..."

Moxi, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is best if you do not get involved. Do not forget how she hit me last time!

I was busy all day and just returned home when my mother came out of the house, looking much more refreshed.

I looked at her speechlessly and said: "Mom, you're in this condition and still thinking about going to the store! Don't worry about this matter, if I say I want to watch, then I will watch, you don't need to interfere!"

I mocked him coldly: "Yi Dan, today is your day. I want you to remember, from now on, if you dare to lay a finger on Ye Bihan, I will make sure that today next year becomes your day of mourning"

I furrow my brows, feeling very scared, afraid of being taken to the hospital at this moment. I dislike the feeling of hospitals, and I detest the stinging sensation of disinfectant being applied to my wounds. Although it is for healing, it hurts too much. "I don't want to go; is it possible not to go? I can just bandage it at home."

Oh

I took out my phone to call Lin Xiaozhu

Lin Xiaozhu forced a smile, walked away from me, and approached Moxi Yi. He and Moxi Yi locked eyes, their gazes piercing each other's pupils like swords. I stared for a long time, feeling a chill in my heart

My gaze swept over her, and I saw a familiar silhouette

Ye Bihan, one must shout out their troubles loudly for them to disappear

Then, does Lin Xiaozhu mean that there is also a place for me in Mo Xi's heart

Yet every word and every sentence feels like a mockery directed at me, and the name "gentleness" is like a thorn piercing my heart, causing me excruciating pain. Each wave of pain mocks my foolishness, akin to the derision aimed at a clown

Hello, Cheng Qingtong

She said: "There is no other way, so you have to work overtime, and you won't be able to enjoy the weekend."

Gently, you must be joking, what is there for me to envy...

Life seems to have returned to a semblance of normalcy

God proves that I am kind

His answer surprised me a bit. I had thought he would agree to help me, but at the very least, he should have asked me why. However, I did not expect him to agree so readily.

From now on, I hope she can live safely and joyfully, in good health

Qingtong, in fact, Moxi does not truly love me. I can feel that his care and affection for me will always be like that of a brother. Yet, I am still reluctant to let go. I know I am very selfish, but I have no way out.

I nodded silently
