Jiang Hua nodded and left the restaurant. Ji Kexin watched Jiang Hua's dejected figure, shook her head helplessly, and sighed.

Jiang Hua walked alone on her way to the library. She thought of how good Gu Yiming had been to her. Although Gu Yiming had a rather cold personality, he was genuinely good to her. He would always comfort her when she was sad, buying her clothes, props, and equipment. Although she and Gu Yiming rarely saw each other, attending different schools and only communicating through games, phone calls, and cell phones—essentially a long-distance relationship—they were far apart.

However, she really did fall in love with Gu Yiming.

Jiang Hua had always considered herself a vibrant young woman who wouldn't be saddened by matters of the heart or other unfortunate events. However, after what happened today, she suddenly realized that sadness cannot be hidden.

In the height of summer, a gentle breeze stirred the blossoms on the camphor trees by the roadside. The flowers, like mesmerizing butterflies, fluttered and danced before falling to the ground, adding a touch of desolation to Jiang Hua's already troubled heart.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she suddenly bumped into someone. Jiang Hua lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry."

She was a third-year student, Jiang Hua's senior. Unfortunately, Jiang Hua stepped on her clean canvas shoes, leaving a dark mark.

A lone black stain suddenly appeared on the pure white canvas shoe.

The senior seemed like a nice person. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a soft laugh, "It's okay, just be careful when you walk next time."

Jiang Hua looked up at her. She had fairly delicate features, a neat high ponytail, a white short-sleeved shirt, and jeans, and looked very youthful.

"Thanks……"

Jiang Hua replied softly and continued walking towards the library.

Two strangers can forgive each other for making mistakes, so why can't she and Gu Yiming? They are a couple, what can't they discuss and talk about together instead of having a cold war?

He once said he would never leave her alone, that he would always be by her side, always believe in her, and always treat her well. But now? Just because of a few words from that philandering bookworm, she's ignoring him. Sure enough, men are all big jerks, full of lies, and can't be trusted.

A moment later, Jiang Hua arrived at the library.

The library at University A is quite luxurious, and even though it was lunchtime, it was still quite crowded.

Jiang Hua glanced at the bookshelf, picked out a book from the psychology section, found a corner spot, and sat down to read.

It's unclear how much time passed, but Jiang Hua remained in the same position, her left hand supporting her chin, her right hand's long, slender fingers resting on the title page of the book. Only Jiang Hua herself knew that she hadn't actually read the book; her mind was preoccupied with Gu Yiming.

She wanted to know if Gu Yiming was still angry with her, if he was still waiting for her in the game, and if he still believed in her and that it was just a momentary fit of pique.

It's a tangled mess, impossible to unravel.

Jiang Hua's mind is now completely occupied by Gu Yiming, as if Gu Yiming is her whole world. Luckily, there are no computers around, otherwise she would immediately go to play games and abandon all dignity to find Gu Yiming.

With a "squeak," Jiang Hua heard the sound, looked up, and the first thing she saw was a boy's delicate chin, followed by thin pink lips. As she saw his face clearly, Jiang Hua recognized the person in front of her.

"Xiang Yu?" Jiang Hua exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, the man in front of us is Xiang Yu. However, Xiang Yu is wearing round-framed retro glasses, which make him look gentle and refined, a style that suits him perfectly.

Xiang Yu didn't speak, but her lips curled slightly. She pulled out a chair and sat down, then took out a notebook and two pens from her bag. She picked up one of the pens and quickly started writing on a certain page of the notebook.

After stopping writing, he handed the notebook to Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua took the notebook and saw four black characters on it: "What's wrong with you?" The characters were elegant and unrestrained, just like Xiang Yu himself, which made people feel good about him.

Jiang Hua also opened her pen and started writing quickly in her notebook.

"fine."

Xiang Yu looked at the two blank characters on the notebook and found it quite amusing. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she continued writing.

"If you talk about what's wrong, you won't feel bad anymore."

Upon seeing Xiang Yu's reply, Jiang Hua bit her lower lip and slowly wrote, "My boyfriend and I had a fight."

Xiang Yu simply flicked her wrist, a little curious: "What happened?"

Jiang Hua remained silent for a long time without replying. Xiang Yu continued writing: "If it's inconvenient, then don't say it. I don't like to force others."

Jiang Hua shook her head and continued writing: "No, it's just that I feel you don't care about these kinds of games."

Xiang Yu raised an eyebrow: "Who said that? I play games too."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "I really didn't expect someone as outstanding as you to play games."

Xiang Yu continued writing: "Games are for cultivating one's character; they are another world."

Jiang Hua found Xiang Yu's words very interesting. In other people's eyes, games have always been a scourge to students and a way to cultivate their character. This was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.

Jiang Hua continued writing in her notebook: "My boyfriend and I met through a game."

Xiang Yu casually remarked, "Oh, a long-distance relationship plus a gaming relationship?"

Jiang Hua nodded shyly: "Yes, I don't think I can say anything about it. Although we meet, we don't meet very often."

Xiang Yu continued her analysis: "In that case, if a conflict arises, it should be discussed face-to-face."

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, but his phone is off."

Xiang Yu replied, "It's not clear if you talk like that. There's a coffee shop outside the school gate, let's go there and talk."

Jiang Hua nodded: "Okay, but why are you chatting like this in the library?"

Xiang Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing. There are a lot of people reading in the library, and I didn't want to disturb the quiet, so we just talked like this."

Jiang Hua nodded, thinking that Xiang Yu was a truly considerate and refined person.

Before long, the notebook was filled with writing.

Xiang Yu got up, put the notebook and pen in her bag, and tidied up the things on the desk before giving Jiang Hua a perfect smile: "Let's go."

Jiang Hua nodded, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered that she needed to borrow books for Ji Kexin, so she quickly went back: "Oh right, I also need to borrow a few books for my roommate, could you please wait for me?"

Xiang Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Watching Jiang Hua searching for books by the bookshelf, Xiang Yu's eyes were filled with doting affection. Since he couldn't be the person by her side, he could be the one behind her.

He's happy as long as she's happy...
