Recently, a significant event occurred at school—Lin Weiwei, the school beauty, began openly pursuing Lu Zixuan.
Lin Weiwei, true to her name, was stunningly beautiful, like a vibrant rose that drew attention wherever she went. She excelled academically, came from a well-off family, and had a pleasant personality; she was practically the embodiment of a perfect goddess. In comparison, I felt like an inconspicuous weed, or even like a patch of dogtail grass by the roadside.
Ever since Lin Weiwei started pursuing Lu Zixuan, he became the center of attention wherever he went. "Wow, the school beauty is actually chasing Lu Zixuan! How romantic!" "A match made in heaven!" Various comments filled the air.
Every morning, his desk would be piled high with an assortment of gifts from Lin Weiwei—heart-shaped bento boxes, limited edition sneakers, luxury watches... it was dazzling.
"Goodness, Lu Zixuan, are you planning to open a convenience store?" I couldn't help but say with a hint of envy.
"Yeah, thanks to Miss Lin, I'm about to become a millionaire," Lu Zixuan shrugged helplessly, but there was no trace of happiness in his tone.
I stole a glance at him and noticed he paid no attention to the gifts. Instead, he walked straight over to my desk. "Xiaoli, what did you have for breakfast today?"
"Just... bread and milk," I replied softly, feeling sweet inside.
"That's it? Not enough nutrition! Here, take this." He handed me a sandwich he had brought. "My mom made it; it's really delicious!"
I accepted the sandwich with warmth in my heart.
"Lu Zixuan, Lin Weiwei brought you breakfast again! Wow! Today it's a heart-shaped sandwich and strawberry milk!" My deskmate Xiao Ya gossiped while pointing at Lu Zixuan's desk, her tone filled with envy. "You really are on a lucky streak!"
I pretended to be indifferent as I flipped through the pages of the book, but inside, my emotions were a tumultuous mix, tinged with a sourness and a hint of bitterness.
"Oh." Lu Zixuan replied lightly, showing little enthusiasm as he pushed his breakfast aside.
Seeing his cold demeanor eased my heart slightly, yet an undercurrent of unease lingered.
One day after school, as I was about to head home, I suddenly spotted Lin Weiwei standing at the entrance of Lu Zixuan's classroom, holding a beautifully packaged box of chocolates tied with a pink ribbon.
"Zixuan, these are chocolates I made for you. Please try them," Lin Weiwei's voice was sweet and gentle, making my teeth ache with jealousy as if I had fallen into a vat of vinegar.
Lu Zixuan accepted the chocolates and politely thanked her. "Thank you, Lin Weiwei. You’ve worked hard."
"Zixuan, how about we go see a movie together tomorrow? The new romance film just came out, and I've been wanting to see it," Lin Weiwei continued, her tone laced with a hint of coaxing. "What do you say?"
My heart sank like a stone pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe.
"I have plans tomorrow," Lu Zixuan declined Lin Weiwei's invitation.
"What plans? Are they very important? Can you tell me?" Lin Weiwei pressed on, a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Yes, they are important," Lu Zixuan replied firmly.
Lin Weiwei looked somewhat disheartened but managed to force a smile. "Alright then, maybe we can go another time. I’ll take my leave now. Bye!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
I hid in the corner, watching the scene unfold, my heart a tangled mess. Although Lu Zixuan had rejected Lin Weiwei's invitation, I couldn't feel any happiness at all.
Lin Weiwei was so outstanding, so beautiful, and I… I was nothing.
