Where have you been before? When you handed Qinglan over to that person, where did you go? When Qinglan needed you, where were you? You disappeared during those times.
Well, now that I have appeared, why did you run into her mind again? What were you doing standing at the door just when I was humiliated by her? Are you here to humiliate me too? Do you want to see my embarrassment and anger?
An Shaojie's anger had reached its peak; throwing a punch at Xu Wen's face was already quite restrained.
No, it wasn't restraint; after experiencing the emotional turmoil just now, he had become disheartened.
What good would hitting him do? His heart had already been completely torn in two by them, battered and bleeding.
He no longer wanted to swing his fists, nor did he want to look at him, let alone say a word to him. After landing a punch on Xu Wen's face, he angrily closed the door. Besides shutting the door and driving him out of his sight, keeping the dark world outside, he didn't know what else he could do.
At that moment, all he wanted was for them to stay away from him. He just wanted to curl up in some dark corner and lick his wounds alone.
He hadn't expected that after coming back with a heart full of joy and clarity, at the moment he made this decision, he felt an unprecedented warmth inside. But the outcome turned out like this. The previously unbearable chaotic scene first gave him shock and anger. Well, in the end, he calmed down and didn't act impulsively like before; see, he has changed a lot. Yet still, it ended with an unbearable conclusion.
An Shaojie furrowed his brows against the car, his heart truly aching in waves.
For him, for Qinglan, tonight he made what he considered the biggest concession and endurance of his life, but the outcome was not as he had hoped.
It seems that he had misjudged things in the past; he had always been overly confident and self-centered, overestimating himself. It turned out that he still didn't understand her.
It turned out she had always followed him; it seemed she liked him very much, but she never truly took the time to understand him. She didn't know what he needed or what he was wary of; she never really cared about him. Otherwise, why would she be so unreserved in front of him after having him in her life while still harboring feelings for someone else?
Ah, in the face of love and an infinite bright future, who does not hesitate? Who does not weigh their options? Who does not bow to reality?
What does An Shaojie have, besides a cold face and a heart like a porcupine?
Childhood Sweethearts? Or innocent friends?
How ridiculous it is to believe and wait!
"Where to?" At a traffic light on a crossroads, Su Hailu asked, "Do you want to grab something to eat?" She casually raised her hand to check the expensive watch on her wrist. "At this time, even if we go back, we won't be able to sleep. It’s better to eat something; time will pass faster."
Su Hailu's other hand rested casually on the steering wheel, her fingers lightly tapping it, looking both capable and elegant.
Her eyes were on An Shaojie in the rearview mirror. All the way, she had been watching him through that mirror.
She had never seen him in such pain as he was tonight, like a helpless child who had suffered great injustice with no one to turn to, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.
He did not know what had just happened to him.
During dinner together tonight, she mustered her courage once again and extended an olive branch to him, almost begging as she tearfully confessed her feelings and even offered generous terms in exchange. He did not move an eyebrow, did not say a word, shook off her hand, and walked away.
After he left, she thought he would never come back because after that confession on New Year's Eve, he had walked away and never returned. Later, when she actively sought him out and swore before him that she would no longer disturb him or harbor any selfish feelings towards him, he agreed to come back.
But every time they shared a meal together, lived under the same roof, studied, and experienced life while observing his extraordinary demeanor compared to other boys in the world today, she found herself gradually sinking deeper into the quagmire of love.
The so-called calmness in the face of temptation and the ability to remain unshaken in the world were the most fitting words to describe him. She had rarely seen such a handsome boy, and in front of a beauty like her, he had never once made a teasing joke. Even when she intentionally or unintentionally hinted and seduced him, he remained oblivious.
His attitude not only left Su Hailu feeling disappointed but also intensified her feelings for him. Su Hailu was mature and intelligent; as she prepared to enter a romantic relationship, she envisioned her future partner as someone who was both smart and composed, as they would eventually take over their family business together. With intelligence as the foundation, he didn't need to be extraordinarily handsome; as long as he met the height and physique requirements, she believed that with their family's financial strength, cultivating a refined potential son-in-law would be easy. Moreover, he had to be absolutely devoted and someone she liked. The first few criteria were not an issue; there were many boys at A University who met these conditions. Every boy surrounding her exceeded these criteria, yet none were to her liking because they all failed the devotion test.
From the moment Su Hailu met An Shaojie, she was certain he was the one regarding devotion. His gaze towards Lin Xi was focused and unwavering, devoid of the flamboyance and restlessness exhibited by some boys today. There was no exaggerated arrogance or pretentiousness, nor any superficial flattery. He exuded a calm determination and naturalness, as if everything around him ceased to exist except for the person he was waiting for.
Later on, when Lin Xi rejected him, he remained dignified despite having an exceptionally beautiful companion, Qinglan, who had always liked him. He treated love with neither arrogance nor servility. Even after losing love, he did not fall into despair; he did not blindly follow trends or lose himself in his current situation.
In fact, through several encounters, Su Hailu realized that he liked Qinglan. He had a resistance to all girls around him because his heart was devoted to Qinglan. However, this stubborn boy, who was actually quite foolish when it came to love, did not even realize that he liked her.
Thus, his subconscious display of devotion in front of an unrecognized love further moved and fascinated Su Hailu. How silly and foolish it was—yet unwavering and unaffected by anything—that kind of devoted love captivated her deeply. It wasn't passionate but rather tender and lingering. Therefore, she could not resist her infatuation with him. As the days drew closer to processing her overseas travel documents, she made one last desperate struggle: whether rejected or ignored upon leaving, she wanted no regrets—though she would leave with regrets nonetheless.
