"That day in the library when I met you, when you and Xu Wen were standing in front of us, did you not see the look in Brother Shaojie's eyes? It was anger, born out of jealousy," Lin Xi continued.
"Wasn't it anger because he hated me?" Qinglan interrupted Lin Xi impulsively. "Hasn't he always hated me for causing him so much trouble?"
"Are you really that foolish or just pretending to be? Or is your mind just slow to react?" Lin Xi said, a bit annoyed. "What trouble have you caused him? Did you shake his desk? Did you block his view by standing in front of him? Or did you shout and make noise? Is that enough to make him that angry? If shaking his desk made him that furious, then he would have long been unable to stand in your class, let alone be elected class president."
Qinglan lowered her head, speechless, while also contemplating Lin Xi's words.
Seeing Qinglan silent, Lin Xi pressed on, "When he carried you home after you were stung by a Bee, doesn't that prove he actually wants to treat you well? But due to his personality, or perhaps because of the dynamics between the two of you, he doesn't know how to be himself around you or how to handle your relationship. For you, all you need to do is give him time and enough patience. Do you understand? Yet at this moment, you're choosing to give up on him; his world will surely collapse. I can leave him, and his world won't collapse; I'm very sure about that."
"But the person he has always liked in his heart is you," Qinglan said, pouting in grievance.
Lin Xi put her arm around Qinglan's shoulders like she did when they were younger and smiled slightly. "It's not that he has always liked me; it's that he thinks he has always liked me. In reality, that's not true. I disappeared from his life for over a decade, and he has been living just fine without me. That proves he can live without me. If you don't believe it, try disappearing from his life for over a decade; he'll understand who he truly likes."
Qinglan looked at Lin Xi with doubt. "Disappear? How can I disappear from his life? I've never thought about that."
"So this is the issue I want to discuss next," Lin Xi said as she patted Qinglan's shoulder again. "The main reason is that you love him; you've never thought about leaving him. As for me, I don't love him. My feelings for him are still those of childhood; in my heart, he's still Brother Shaojie from when we were kids—nothing more than that. Because I have someone I like, someone I love, someone I can't let go of."
Qinglan pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "But I've already promised Xu Wen."
"Just refuse him and tell him your true feelings. That boy is good; I believe he will understand," Lin Xi said decisively to Qinglan.
"Okay," Qinglan nodded.
So later, Qinglan did not go to meet Xu Wen's parents. However, because she had previously refused to book tickets home with Simple and the others, this winter break, Qinglan did not return home with Simple and Jian Ming; instead, Lin Xi traveled with Simple and the others.
After getting off at the Provincial Capital, the somewhat unruly Simple did not return home with Jian Ming and Reiko. Instead, she went to Lin Xi's Home to hang out for a few days. Having not seen Lin Xi for several years, their unexpected reunion made it impossible for someone as free-spirited as Simple to pass up the opportunity to spend more time with Lin Xi and tease her for a few days.
Before Lin Xi could finish inviting her over, Simple grabbed her bag and linked arms with Lin Xi, waving goodbye to Jian Ming and Reiko. "I'm going to Lin Xi's Home for a few days; you guys head back first."
Jian Ming barely had time to stop her before she handed her bag to a handsome guy who had come with Lu Chenyu to pick up Lin Xi, acting as if she was familiar with him. At the same time, she turned and pulled Lin Xi forward, seemingly worried that Lin Xi might change her mind.
Lin Xi was being dragged along by Simple while turning back to smile apologetically at Jian Ming and Reiko.
"I was planning to invite your brother and Sister Reiko to my house," Lin Xi said to Simple.
Simple waved her hand dismissively. "We grew up in the same courtyard; you don't know my brother's personality. He definitely won't go to your house; inviting him is pointless."
Simple's bold personality made the handsome guy helping her with the bag unable to hold back his laughter.
Simple shot him a glare and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
As soon as she asked, the handsome guy laughed even harder. Not only did he find it amusing, but even Lu Chenyu finally couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hey! Lin Xi, two handsome guys come to pick you up, and you don't introduce them? Aren't you going to let one of them come over for me?"
Lin Xi reached out and pinched Simple's chubby cheek playfully. "You've already handed your bag over to someone else; it's just a matter of sending a person over now. Do you still need me to introduce them?"
At this moment, the handsome guy stepped forward to introduce himself: "I am Chen Yang, a high school classmate and friend of Lin Xi. Nice to meet you."
Indeed, this handsome guy is Chen Yang, who came to the train station with Lu Chenyu to pick up Lin Xi, and by coincidence, he ran into Simple, someone he was familiar with.
Love is like this; it never has a budget and often arises from coincidences.
This time, Simple, who usually doesn't care much about love, unexpectedly encountered it.
Yes, Chen Yang fell in love with Simple at first sight.
Simple stayed at Lin Xi's home, and Chen Yang went to Lin Xi's home every day just to catch a glimpse of Simple. He had never seen a girl who could be so easily happy and so full of laughter.
When they went out to play, if he bought her an ice cream, she would hold it as if she were overwhelmed with joy, eating it while shaking her head and saying, "Mmm, this is delicious! I love this flavor of ice cream."
Lin Xi followed behind, secretly laughing, then leaned in close to Chen Yang's ear and whispered to him: "This girl is just a foodie; there isn't a flavor she doesn't like. So don't be fooled by her sweet words; don't think she's complimenting you." Chen Yang smiled as he watched the figure in front of him with a high ponytail bouncing along happily. He suddenly felt that he was no longer the old Chen Yang. The old Chen Yang was just like her, only knowing his own happiness and never caring about the feelings of those walking behind him. Now, the current Chen Yang secretly decided that he needed to mature, to be steady, and to follow that girl in front of him for a lifetime, watching her bounce along happily. And she didn't need to look back or care about how he felt because he was a man—a man who was gradually growing up and maturing.
