A few days later, the academy discovered that the horse had been given a laxative, which was why it suddenly went wild during the assessment.
Su Wanwan came to my door to apologize.
Once lively and radiant, she now looked pale and haggard.
I sat down beside her and asked, "Why did you do this?"
I couldn't understand why she hated me so much, to the point of wanting to put me in danger.
If Qi Qianyu hadn't saved me, I shuddered to think of what I might be like now.
Su Wanwan looked into my eyes, tears welling up, "Qingyu, I'm sorry."
My feelings were complicated; the harm had already been done, and I couldn't forgive her.
Once a relationship has a crack, no matter how much one tries to smooth things over, the rift still exists.
I knew I had lost a friendship.
"Qingyu, He Xiao and I have broken off our engagement."
I was slightly taken aback and felt a bit surprised. "Why?"
She sniffled, "He said he doesn't love me."
"He was with me just to test your feelings for him."
"He didn't want to lose you."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
I fell silent.
I didn't know how to comfort her.
I recalled the last time He Xiao left, his back appearing lonely and desolate.
In the past, I forced a smile to help them connect, never imagining that the three of us would end up in such a situation one day.
It truly is a twist of fate.
"I was just angry that you two used me; I acted impulsively when I gave your horse a laxative."
I looked at her, feeling a pang of sadness in my heart.
For a man, both of us got hurt.
"I'm sorry, Qingyu, I regret it. I shouldn't have been so impulsive; I was just too upset."
"You didn't do anything wrong to me."
I sighed and said, "You just made the choice you thought was right."
Her eyes brightened, "Do you really forgive me?"
"I'm not forgiving you."
I shook my head, "I've just let go of the past."
She shuddered slightly, her eyes misty with tears, "I know, I know, it was my mistake."
I patted her shoulder, "Alright, don't be sad anymore."
"Let's just consider it a lesson learned."
"Next time, don't encounter such people again."
"Yeah!"
She wiped her tears and asked, "Qingyu, are you with Qi Qianyu now?"
I nodded and smiled, "Yes, we are together."
"That's great."
"I'm really happy to see you come out."
After a while, she softly said, "Qingyu, you must be happy."
"I will be."
Her eyes turned red again.
But this time she didn't cry; instead, she forced a smile at me.
I thought she must have found her own answer by now.
However, that no longer had anything to do with me.
The next morning.
In a daze, I heard a strange noise.
I opened my eyes and saw a pigeon standing on the windowsill.
I curiously unwrapped the note tied to the homing pigeon's leg and discovered it was a letter from Qi Qianyu addressed to me.
"Wait for me, I’ll buy you the best osmanthus cake in the city soon!"
I chuckled softly, what a silly boy.
I can imagine the scene when he wrote those words, surely gentle and earnest.
Being with Qi Qianyu is truly wonderful.
He plays with me, jokes with me, cries with me, and laughs with me.
He gives me everything that He Xiao could not.
I leaned on the windowsill, gazing at the scenery outside, feeling an immense sense of tranquility within.
The wind gently brushed against the letter, tickling my palm slightly.
I was just tripped by a stone on the road of life, but now I have grasped the person most worthy of love.
That person cares for me and holds me close to his heart.
I closed my eyes.
This must be what happiness feels like.
I will definitely continue to be happy.
