Qinglan paused for a moment and then said, "Now, I feel at peace instead, not afraid of losing anything. Even if I sense that he might disappear from my sight forever, I am not anxious; I can accept and face it calmly. Because I have been mentally prepared for over twenty years for his eventual departure. For more than twenty years, I have given him my happiest childhood, my most innocent youth, and my most beautiful adolescence, yet I still haven't won his heart. What else do I have to fear? It's just that he won't be in my life anymore, which is no different from when he never glanced at me before." Qinglan smiled sadly, her lips curling up with salty tears.
Lin Xi embraced her shoulder and patted it, saying, "Let's go back; it's raining heavily. In our most beautiful years, we have sincerely given our all and waited without regrets. So yes, we should be at peace, and we should have no regrets."
After returning to the dormitory, Qinglan seemed to have an epiphany. She quietly made a decision in her heart: regardless of whether An Shaojie appeared before her again, she decided to take some time to visit her rental apartment and terminate the lease.
She resolved not to be An Shaojie's shadow any longer.
She wanted to love herself more, to find happiness and no longer live in his shadow.
After making this decision, she stopped focusing on whether An Shaojie had reappeared in her sight.
Due to the pressure of her studies, she poured all her energy into her academics, striving hard to secure the last scholarship of her university years. As a result, the matter of terminating the lease was postponed until after the final exams.
Time flew by quickly, and soon May was upon them.
Xiang Yuanqiu and Chen Yang arrived as promised and called Simple and Qinglan respectively to inform them, "Beijing, we're back."
Along with Xiang Yuanqiu, Wang Wei also came.
Of course, besides Wang Wei, there was also Yao Mengni. Just as Chen Yang had predicted at that time, she followed Chen Yang without invitation and began criticizing him for not helping her along the way and for being unkind and difficult.
As soon as she stepped out of the train station, she unceremoniously threw her large backpack at Chen Yang, who was strolling ahead empty-handed.
"Hey, that dead girl Lin Xi, why hasn't she come to pick us up yet?" She held her phone in one hand while dialing Lin Xi, accidentally twisting her ankle in her high heels. She frowned and grimaced, feeling even more dissatisfied with both Lin Xi and Chen Yang.
Chen Yang awkwardly slung her large bag over her shoulder and said, "If I were Lin Xi, I wouldn't come to pick you up. You're not coming to Beijing just to see her; if anyone should pick you up, it should be your childhood sweetheart, Brother Zhe."
Yao Mengni spat lightly at Chen Yang and replied, "Don't get too smug. My Brother Zhe really will come to pick me up. Just wait and see how envious you'll be."
"Ni Ni." Just after she spoke, Yao Mengni saw Hao Chuanze waving at her as he jogged over. His fair face was slightly flushed, and his tousled hair was blown up by the wind.
Upon seeing Hao Chuanze, Yao Mengni didn't bother to pretend or hold back. She quickly pulled her bag off Chen Yang's shoulder, raised her eyebrows with a triumphant expression, waved goodbye to Chen Yang, and said, "Buddy, have a good trip. My Brother Zhe is here; I won't be playing with you anymore."
Xiang Yuanqiu smiled faintly.
Chen Yang stood frozen in place for a while before reacting. He gritted his teeth and muttered at Yao Mengni's retreating figure, "Ungrateful wretch, prioritizing romance over friendship. Just wait until a man dumps you one day."
Of course, Chen Yang carefully controlled his volume so that his words didn't reach Yao Mengni's ears. Otherwise, humph! He knew he wasn't her match, so it was better to be cautious.
Standing behind them, Xiang Yuanqiu was thoroughly amused, while Wang Wei stood nearby laughing.
Wang Wei was in Beijing for the first time and followed them closely, speaking softly and cautiously, making him quite inconspicuous. Chen Yang and Yao Mengni often forgot about his presence.
Yao Mengni and Hao Chuanze walked to the roadside to wait for Chen Yang and Xiang Yuanqiu to catch up.
"Why didn't Shen Xiaomeng come with you?" she asked him.
He replied lightly that she had something come up last minute and couldn't make it. As he said this, he looked elsewhere and asked, "Does Lin Xi know you're coming?" He skillfully avoided the topic.
"She knows. That dead girl, why hasn't she shown up yet? Luckily I told you; otherwise, no one would have come to pick us up." Yao Mengni wasn't foolish; she understood Hao Chuanze's attempt to change the subject earlier. So she subtly indicated that she had asked him to pick her up as a backup plan, not because she specifically wanted him to do so.
At this moment, Chen Yang and Xiang Yuanqiu also walked over. Chen Yang was complaining incessantly about Lin Xi's neglect, just like Meng Ni.
"Did you come to Beijing just to see Lin Xi? If I were Lin Xi, I wouldn't bother picking you up. The one you should be complaining about is Simple," Yao Meng Ni seized the opportunity to counter Chen Yang's words, returning his remarks in kind.
Chen Yang, who was gulping down a bottle of green tea, spat out the water in surprise and pointed at her, pretending to be furious. "You... you... this is called holding a grudge! Do you know that? Indeed, a gentleman takes revenge ten years later, while a petty person seeks revenge all day long!"
"So now you realize I'm a petty person?" Yao Meng Ni did not hide her amusement and did not back down.
Chen Yang feigned enlightenment, slapping his head and stomping his foot. "Yes! How could I have been so blind? You've been hiding so deeply!"
Yao Meng Ni burst into laughter.
On the side, Hao Chuanze was bewildered by their banter. Xiang Yuanqiu was enjoying the spectacle, while Wang Wei remained quietly unnoticed, looking calm and composed.
As they were joking and bickering, three beautiful women walked across the street. The one in front had short hair and wore jeans; she was lively and seemed ready to take off at any moment. The two behind her were linked arm in arm, smiling softly as they whispered to each other, appearing serene yet occasionally pulling each other playfully, showing their close bond.
"Simple." Chen Yang, who had been teasing Yao Meng Ni, immediately stopped talking, dropped her, and ran toward the street.
Soon after, Xiang Yuanqiu and Wang Wei followed suit. "He really has sharp eyes and quick feet," Xiang Yuanqiu remarked as he watched Chen Yang's retreating figure.
"It's better to say he has a connection with someone! With his 1000-degree myopia, how can his eyes be sharp?" Yao Meng Ni continued to mock Chen Yang as she walked behind Xiang Yuanqiu. She intentionally raised her voice so that the excited person in front could hear her jibe.
