Three days later.

As soon as Yan Can got on the subway, a girl from her class who was on good terms with her sent her a message, asking if she had a fight with Leng Shan.

"Why do you say that?" she asked.

The girl said that Leng Shan and Ling Yu invited some classmates to go hiking. The three of them used to be inseparable, but Yan Can was not seen this time, so many people are speculating about this.

As for the reason, apart from the few people who were present that day, the other students had heard about it to varying degrees.

Some people think Yan Can is making a mountain out of a molehill, being petty and calculating.

But many others, like her, believed that Yan Can was right. After going through so much, shouldn't she be angry? Shouldn't she feel resentment?

Moreover, Yan Can, the victim, hasn't said anything yet, but Leng Shan has already told several classmates what happened when they went to Yan's house, and her words were full of complaints and accusations against Yan Can.

Yan Can said, "It's not a contradiction."

But I will no longer have any connection with those two.

This is a task requirement.

It was also her subjective will.

After reading it, the girl replied with three words: "Understood."

It's not a contradiction; given Yan Can's personality, she might not even be that angry. But it's impossible for her and Leng Shanlingyu to ever go back to how things were before.

When Yan Can arrived at the high-speed rail station, the girl sent her a few more messages.

[Being safe and sound is the best outcome!]

[I was also invited, but I didn't go.]

She took a picture of a desk covered with exam papers, with a famous quote framed on the desk: "Study a little more every day, and you'll get a little closer to Yan Can."

[During winter break, I'm determined to work incredibly hard, studying like a madman, and crush you in the exams when school starts!]

[Crush (not), Chase (correct)]

Yan Can replied to her: "Then good luck."

After getting off the bus, she saw that the girl had sent a picture of a little figure running and sprinting with all its might.

Just then, her phone rang.

Yan Can smiled when she saw the caller ID.

"Brother, you got off the bus?"

"Turn around."

The sound coming from the phone overlapped with the sound coming from behind me.

Yan Can turned around, looked at the familiar figure, and quickly hung up the phone.

Yan Yuren is just as her name suggests. She is as tall as a pine tree, with a face as beautiful as jade, and her voice is as warm and pleasant as jade.

He strode forward and embraced his sister, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, giving her a big hug. After a while, he looked her over carefully and asked, "Have you been studying too hard? You've lost weight."

Yan Can said, "You haven't lost weight, you're mistaken."

"How could that be? I have 5.2 vision, I can't be mistaken." After saying that, Yan Yu cupped Yan Can's face and pinched it like a child, "Don't be so serious, smile for your brother."

Yan Can silently pushed his hand away and went to push her suitcase, leaving Yan Yu with a regretful expression.

She hadn't walked far when Yan Yu caught up with her, took the suitcase from her, and asked if she had eaten breakfast and if she wanted some hamburgers or something.

Yan Can said, "If you're hungry, we'll eat before we go home."

Yan Yu said, "I won't eat."

Not eating doesn't mean I'm not hungry.

Yan Can then took out a few cookies from her bag. "Let's have something to eat first. Lunch should be ready by the time we get back."

As the brother and sister boarded the subway to return, Yan Can's phone rang again.

Why aren't you answering the phone?

Who is it?

Yan Yu didn't peek at the caller ID on the screen; instead, she stared at Yan Can's face.

He frowned slightly when he saw his sister's downturned lips.

Yan Can said, "Ling Yu."

Yan Yu was immediately puzzled, "Ling Yu?"

Yan Can nodded.

I don't want to say anything more.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, and since the subway wasn't a good place to talk, Yan Yu refrained from asking further. Later, when Ling Yu kept calling, he got a little angry.

He knew his sister well; she would never get angry with someone for no reason, let alone with Ling Yu and Leng Shan being her friends.

Given the current situation, Ling Yu must have done something wrong.

Knowing full well that she was in the wrong and that Can Can didn't want to forgive her, Ling Yu kept harassing Can Can with phone calls. Was Ling Yu out of her mind?

When I finally got home, I found several cars blocking the entrance.

"What are you doing?"

Yan Yu got out of the car and was about to go over to ask what was going on when she heard Yan Can say, "They're our classmates..."

Before the words were even finished, Ling Yu and Leng Shan came out from inside.

Yan Yu subconsciously looked at Yan Can's reaction.

The two also saw Yan Can. Leng Shan quickly ran over and, as usual, tried to take Yan Can's hand, but Yan Can dodged her. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ling Yu with a wronged expression.

This is the second time!

She said, "Let's go hiking! Why did you ask Yan Can to go?" Yan Can was still angry and definitely wouldn't go hiking with them.

But Ling Yu said that it was precisely because Yan Can was still angry that they should let Yan Can see their care and concern for her, and let her know that everything that happened that day was just an accident, so as to resolve the knot in her heart.

So she agreed to Ling Yu's suggestion and brought so many people to invite Yan Can.

And what was the result?

Leng Shan, who has never been able to hide her feelings, was now wearing her emotions on her face. Ling Yu stepped forward and explained to Yan Can, "We agreed to go hiking together before the holiday. We both had time today, so we arranged to meet up. We came to your house because we couldn't reach you by phone."

He had called the Yan family before he came, and the nanny said that Yan Can was not at home.

Shanshan said that Yan Can must not want to play with them, so she made the nanny lie. Unexpectedly, she had just come back from outside.

Yan Can said, "I said yesterday that I'm not going mountain climbing."

Leng Shan was already very angry. She grabbed Ling Yu's arm and started to leave, saying, "I told you she's still angry and definitely won't come with us. You insisted on coming, and you're dragging so many people along here, trying to be nice to her butt..."

Yan Yu's face suddenly darkened. "What does Miss Leng mean?"

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs between young people.

But Leng Shan's words went too far.

Can Can clearly refused. They can't understand human language, yet they brought so many people to her home, making unreasonable demands and morally blackmailing her. Then they turn around and scold Can Can for being unreasonable and petty. What kind of logic is that?

Leng Shan was stunned for a moment, as if she had just realized that Yan Yu was also there. Her face immediately showed a flustered and embarrassed expression.

Ling Yu quickly said, "Brother Yan, don't be angry. Shan Shan misspoke. I apologize to you and Yan Can on her behalf..."

"No need."

Yan Can and Yan Yu spoke in unison.

All of Ling Yu's words got stuck in her throat.

Even if he didn't open his mouth, Yan Can knew what he was going to say next. It would be nothing more than that Leng Shan had been carefree and straightforward since childhood, with a bad temper sometimes and speaking without thinking, but she definitely didn't have any malicious intent.

But Yan Can wasn't her parent, and she didn't want to tolerate her bad temper.
