Chapter 418 I like this little thing

Zhou Mukai was disillusioned.

He never imagined that one day he would become a relationship guru, sitting in the school cafeteria, analyzing (mediating) a couple's arguments.

And all of this stemmed from a question Lu Yanhe asked him.

"Have you ever found that you and your girlfriend have completely different opinions on a matter?"

Zhou Mukai inexplicably got caught up in the question by answering it, and then became a witness who helped Wang Xiao prove that he might not have received any hints.

How does he know whether Wang Xiao received any hints from another girl?

He wasn't there.

What does it have to do with him?

Regardless, Lin Miaomiao ultimately accepted this explanation with some skepticism.

The anger on his face lessened.

Wang Xiao sighed and silently lamented that it was really not easy to fall in love.

He held Lin Miaomiao's hand and said with deep affection, "Miaomiao, you are the only one in my eyes, there is no one else."

Lu Yanhe and Zhou Mukai both showed the same "disgusted" expression.

-

Wang Xiao and Lin Miaomiao are both among the most well-known students at Zhenhua University.

The former was because of her position as president of the youth association, and the latter was because of her beauty and reputation as a mathematical genius.

Their relationship caused a huge uproar at the school.

Especially Lin Miaomiao's many suitors.

Just because Wang Xiao is quite outstanding doesn't mean he's a good match for Lin Miaomiao. In the eyes of a rival, no matter how great you are, you're still just a dog.

There was a lot of noise and commotion.

Someone on the forum mocked: "Look at you guys fighting like dogs over a girl, you have absolutely no class of Zhenhua University students."

A second later someone replied: If you have such class, why are you browsing forums? Go read your Tao Te Ching.

"There are always people who think that Zhenhua students should establish moral principles for the world, establish a life for the people, continue the lost learning of the sages, and bring peace to all generations." Mao Jiayang saw this while browsing the forum in his dormitory and curled his lip. "It seems that as long as we are not in a high-class place, we are considered to be wasting our lives, and it seems that we can't even have romantic relationships."

"Who cares what they say?" Xiao Jing pouted. "I'm going to England for a year of exchange studies. Do you know what my relatives said when they heard about it?"

"say what?"

“They said I was a foreign worshipper, that I didn’t study properly at Zhenhua High School but insisted on going abroad, and that the country had worked so hard to raise me, but I was only thinking about immigrating.”

"Six, he can bridge the gap between exchange studies and immigration with just a few words."

"Anyway, on one hand, some people think that Zhenhua students are very good, very outstanding, the pride of heaven, while on the other hand, they are always looking at you with colored glasses, speculating about you, judging you, and acting as the judge of your life."

“You can tell by looking at Yan He these past few years. He’s usually praised to the skies by his fans, but the moment something doesn’t meet their expectations, Yan He acts like he’s committed a terrible mistake. One minute he’s not the person they have in mind, and the next he feels like Yan He has let them down.”

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. We've learned this saying since we were little. But what if the water itself isn't peaceful? What then can the boat do?"

"You two, come on, you're talking about Wang Xiao and Lin Miaomiao's relationship and you've turned it into a philosophical discussion about the relative existence of water and a boat," Zhou Mukai couldn't help but interject with a sarcastic remark.

"Haven't you ever encountered this situation before?" Xiao Jing asked in surprise. "You studied literature, and your relatives didn't ask you to write Spring Festival couplets for them. Then you said you couldn't write calligraphy, and they looked at you with disbelief and asked how you couldn't even write calligraphy? Aren't you from Zhenhua?"

Zhou Mukai said, "I don't really look at their expressions."

"ha?"

Zhou Mukai said, "Because they always feel very proud and honored when they see me, I feel embarrassed, so I don't look them in the eye as much anymore. As for the situation you mentioned, I haven't encountered it."

"Different fates for the same people?"

Lu Yanhe was lying in bed reading when he heard the three of them having a lively discussion, so he sat up.

“Actually, as long as you don’t take what others say to heart, it won’t affect you no matter what they say,” Lu Yanhe said. “I think that no one can avoid being talked about, so learning how to block out other people’s voices is a compulsory course for everyone.”

Xiao Jing was shocked: "Holy crap, Lu Yanhe has actually started giving motivational pep talks."

Mao Jiayang: "I understand the principles, but I can't put them into practice."

“Hmm—” Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment, then lay down again. “That’s true. I’m a practitioner, not a theorist in terms of teaching experience.”

Mao Jiayang said, "However, Yan He, I've always been curious, you must see people criticizing you every time you open your social media, right? Don't those voices really affect you at all?"

“Yes,” Lu Yanhe said. “But because I watch it every day, the impact will become smaller and smaller. As I said, I am a practitioner. No matter what others say, I am hypnotizing myself that it is not important and I will not take it to heart. Over time, this kind of thinking habit has been formed.”

"Wow, that's impressive, they've even started self-hypnotizing," Mao Jiayang said.

Lu Yanhe laughed.

-

Just when Lu Yanhe really thought he was a pragmatist and that his defensive capabilities were getting stronger, it was as if fate was going to test him, and another piece of news broke on the school forum.

Lin Miaomiao once had a crush on Lu Yanhe.

Suddenly, the nature of the story changed.

It is known that Lu Yanhe and Lin Miaomiao knew each other before, and Lu Yanhe and Wang Xiao are good friends. Wang Xiao and Lin Miaomiao are currently in a romantic relationship. It has been revealed that Lin Miaomiao once had a crush on Lu Yanhe. The questions are: Does Wang Xiao know that Lin Miaomiao once had a crush on Lu Yanhe? Does Lu Yanhe know that Lin Miaomiao once had a crush on him? Can Wang Xiao and Lu Yanhe remain friends?

Lu Yanhe's face turned green.

I don't know which idiot posted this anonymously on the forum.

At school, everyone's gaze towards him changed.

It became filled with gossip and ambiguity.

If Lin Miaomiao had stood up at this point and called the person spreading the rumors crazy, and directly denied the matter, then the matter might have remained a mystery, with the truth unknown, but at least the person involved would have denied it.

However, Lin Miaomiao remained noncommittal and did not respond. Even when her classmates asked her, she did not give a direct answer. This information made everyone start to believe the person who posted the anonymous message.

Lu Yanhe was in an extremely awkward position regarding this matter.

He felt that Lin Miaomiao had liked him, but Lin Miaomiao had never confessed her feelings to him or made it clear.

This situation has put him in a difficult position, as he's caught between wanting to respond and not wanting to remain silent.

It's not something he can respond to in the first place.

The clip of Lu Yanhe meeting Jiang Zhi and Lin Miaomiao when he went to record "City Travelogue" has also been dug up.

There was more and more discussion about it at school.

This even became a trending topic on Weibo.

Besides Chen Siqi, there is another girl in Lu Yanhe's life!

This topic has stirred up a small but significant wave of discussion.

This time, however, Lu Yanhe was unable to righteously condemn those who spread rumors.

Lin Miaomiao didn't respond, Wang Xiao didn't respond, and Lu Yanhe didn't respond either. The silence of the three of them formed an ambiguous and ambiguous question mark in everyone's minds.

However, this matter cannot be allowed to continue to escalate.

Nobody knows how it will eventually be magnified.

If we stand idly by, the result will most likely be a complete mess.

Lu Yanhe made a phone call to Wang Xiao.

"Senior, let's go out for a meal together," Lu Yanhe said.

Wang Xiao teased, "You invited me out for dinner at this time because you're afraid they haven't talked about us enough, so you're going to send them oil and firewood, right?"

Lu Yanhe smiled; Wang Xiao's teasing attitude relieved him.

At least Wang Xiao didn't seem to mind the matter particularly.

You must mind, right?

Putting yourself in someone else's shoes, definitely.

Wang Xiao said, "Don't bother asking me to dinner. From the first day I started dating Miao Miao, I knew she used to like you."

"ah?"

“She told me.”

"Did she really say that to you?"

"Hmm, what's wrong? Don't you believe me?"

"Because...she didn't tell me."

“She said she had been waiting for you to pursue her.” Wang Xiao laughed. “She even scolded me for a long time, saying that you were annoying and had never taken the initiative to pursue her. Later, when you got together with Chen Siqi, she gradually stopped liking you.”

"Okay." Lu Yanhe said, feeling embarrassed.

Wang Xiao said, "She's embarrassed to face you right now."

"Why?"

"Because the whole school knows that she used to like you."

"Why doesn't she just deny it altogether? Just pretend it never happened."

"Her personality wouldn't allow her to deny her past self."

"Too."

Lu Yanhe asked, "However, senior, the reason I invited you out to dinner wasn't to explain this to you, but to show them that no matter how much they spread these rumors, it actually has no impact on us at all."

Wang Xiao: "Huh?"

"We don't explain because we don't want to respond to these baseless rumors. The fact that we can go out to eat together normally proves that we haven't been affected by this. Once we've made our stance clear, people won't care so much about it anymore," Lu Yanhe said.

Wang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you're the expert, I'll listen to you, it's me?"

"Just the two of us," Lu Yanhe said.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and was about to send Lin Miaomiao a message when Chen Siqi suddenly called.

Lu Yanhe slapped his forehead, sighed, and answered the phone.

"Hello--"

Chen Siqi said, "I've arrived at your school gate."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was taken aback.

To demand an explanation?

Was Chen Siqi here to confront and demand an explanation?

Surely not? This matter doesn't have much to do with him...

Is Chen Siqi jealous?

While Lu Yanhe was feeling uneasy, he heard Chen Siqi say, "I've made plans to have dinner with Lin Miaomiao. Do you and Wang Xiao want to come along?"

A completely unexpected statement.

Lu Yanhe was surprised at first, but then he couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Siqi asked, puzzled.

Lu Yanhe sent Chen Siqi a screenshot of his call with Wang Xiao, saying, "I sent you a picture, take a look for yourself."

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Yanhe heard Chen Siqi chuckle.

When did his way of thinking become so similar to Chen Siqi's?

The ways and perspectives used to solve a problem, a problem, or a trouble are so similar.

Chen Siqi: "I said, when you received my call just now, were you a little nervous?"

"ah?"

"Do you think I'm jealous, that I'm so jealous that I've come to confront you?"

"How could that be? You're not like that at all," Lu Yanhe quickly denied.

Chen Siqi gave a soft hum and said, "Say whatever you want, I have no way of verifying what you think anyway."

"I swear, what I said is absolutely true. In my heart, you have never been a girl who gets jealous easily."

Lu Yanhe felt ashamed.

I'm sorry, God of Acting, I must also use a little bit of the talent you bestowed upon me for my own personal matters.

I'm so tired, but I still wrote a second update. I'll try to keep the update length high! Please vote with monthly tickets!
