Qi Yu considered himself a smart man; he could tell whether others liked or disliked him.

But he couldn't figure out what she really thought of him.

Do I love him, or do I hate him?

If you love him, why break up with him? Why treat him like that?

Even if she disliked him, the way she looked at him held a love that brought her joy.

At that moment, he was holding a knife.

He thought that if she really didn't love him, she should be with Ling Yi.

If he couldn't bring himself to kill her, then he would commit suicide in front of her.

That way, perhaps he still has a chance.

Even if she doesn't love him, he'll use any means necessary to keep her by his side.

Qi Yu knew that she was in his arms now.

But he dared not expose it.

He didn't dare to approach her when he saw her in class during the day.

What if she continues to avoid him as before?

He was already very content just to be held like this.

As long as she's still willing to let me get close, no matter what my status is.

He will do whatever she wants.

But there is only one.

That means she can only be his, and only his.

Even if she doesn't want to be with him.

He couldn't bear to see her with someone else.

Mu Tiantian discovered.

Qi Yu was really just holding her, but his lips would occasionally brush against her neck.

Just then, singing came from the playground.

Mu Tiantian looked up and saw Ling Yi standing under the light, holding a microphone, singing a love song.

It sounds pretty good.

Qi Yu, who had been burying his face in the crook of her neck, also heard the singing. He raised his head and glanced at Ling Yi on the high platform, his eyes turning cold.

Finally, the song ended.

Ling Yi, holding the microphone, said, "This song is dedicated to the girl I'm about to confess my feelings to."

The students below started to cheer him on, urging him to confess his feelings directly.

However, he did not do that; instead, he handed the microphone to someone else and walked down from the platform.

Mu Tiantian, like her classmates, was curious about who the girl Ling Yi was going to confess to was.

At that moment, she suddenly felt Qi Yu's arms tighten around her.

"Qi Yu?" Mu Tiantian patted his arm. "Loosen your grip a bit, it's too tight."

After listening, Qi Yu loosened his grip on her arm for a long time.

Next, other people performed on the platform. An Yule from the music club sang, and several girls from the dance club started dancing.

Some of the students sitting on the playground were waving glow sticks, while others were recording videos or taking photos with their phones.

Mu Tiantian's phone rang.

It was a friend request sent by Ling Yi from the class group chat.

She had just clicked "agree" when his voice call came in.

Mu Tiantian patted Qi Yu's hand, signaling him to let go, "I'm going to answer a call."

Qi Yu pursed her lips and let go of her hand.

Mu Tiantian stood up, walked to the side, and looked at the flickering screen with some surprise.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Ling Yi confess his feelings to the girl he likes now?

Why call her...?

Mu Tiantian suddenly realized a problem.

Could the girl Ling Yi was talking about be her?!

She hesitated for a moment before answering the phone, "Ling Yi?"

"Tian Tian, ​​do you have time now? I have something I want to tell you." Ling Yi's form of address changed as he said, "I'll wait for you in the small corridor."

This reminded Mu Tiantian of when he called her Tiantian that morning, and she thought she had misheard.

Mu Tiantian rubbed her temples.

After a long silence, she said, "Ling Yi, I'm with Qi Yu right now, so I probably can't go. Is it something important?"

"Qi Yu? You...you and him...you've made up?" Ling Yi asked in surprise.

"Yes, we've made up." She didn't care whether she was being narcissistic or not.

Although she and Qi Yu haven't completely reconciled yet, it's only a matter of time, so she still made sure to explain her current situation to Ling Yi.

It's better than him confessing his feelings to her and then rejecting her outright.

now.

Sitting in the school's small corridor, Ling Yi looked at the flowers in his hand and gave a wry smile.

It was still too late.

He remained silent for a long time before saying, "Congratulations."

"Thanks."

"Then I won't bother you any longer. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."

"Okay, then you get back to work."

Upon hearing the sound, Ling Yi took down his phone and looked down at the screen.

After a while, he pressed the button to hang up the phone.

He leaned against a pillar on the corridor bench, glanced at the full moon hanging high in the sky, and felt a mix of emotions.

It's a bit congested, and a bit uncomfortable.

He held the large bouquet of roses so tightly that his hand trembled as he recalled the first time he met Mu Tiantian.

Two years ago, he heard that Jiang Jialei had actually been beaten by a girl. He thought that the girl had brought a lot of people with her and was bullying the weak.

When he arrived, he saw a tall, sweet-looking, and non-threatening beauty standing opposite Jiang Jialei.

When the girl saw him, she stretched her limbs and mocked, "I have to say, you fatso are really something. You and your little brother can't beat me, so you call for help. Aren't you ashamed that you guys are bullying a girl like me?"

Jiang Jialei said angrily, "I admit I'm not as good as him, but if you're so capable, you can have a one-on-one fight with Brother Yi."

When Ling Yi heard that he was supposed to have a one-on-one fight with a girl, he felt ashamed and refused.

Before he could even speak to the girl, her fist came flying at him.

"Today I'll show you what happens when you bully me!"

"No, who the hell bullied you?" Ling Yi felt the pain of her fists hitting him, but he couldn't imagine that she would be bullied.

Besides, his underlings would never touch girls or children.

He later learned that it was those thugs who had harassed her, which was why she had given them a beating.

But the underlings didn't dare to tell the truth, so they told Jiang Jialei that Mu Tiantian had brought a lot of people and beat them up.

That led to all the things that followed.

At that time, Ling Yi and Jiang Jialei felt extremely embarrassed.

I've never been so embarrassed in my life.

From that moment on, he began to pay attention to Mu Tiantian.

"In the end, we were destined to be apart." A regretful voice rang in Ling Yi's ears.

Song Wei knew he had failed as soon as she saw his condition.

He turned his head and saw Song Wei, Jiang Jialei, and Zhang Simeng standing beside him.

Jiang Jialei handed him a pack of cigarettes.

Ling Yi stared at the pack of cigarettes for a long time before finally taking it.

Zhang Simeng joked, "What, not quitting smoking?"

"What? Didn't you bring it over for me to smoke?" Ling Yi chuckled and lit a cigarette.

Song Wei shrugged. "It seems Zhang Simeng understands you best. I told Jiang Jialei that you quit smoking, but Zhang Simeng insisted that you couldn't."

Zhang Simeng picked up the flowers from the ground. "In this situation, he can't quit."

Jiang Jialei hooked his arm around Ling Yi's shoulder and said, "Brother Yi, don't worry, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Come on, let's go have a few drinks. Look, Sister Wei and Sister Meng didn't even argue today because of you."

“Those two…” Ling Yi said with a teasing tone, looking at the two of them who were about to fight each other. “One of them is thinking about how to get revenge for yesterday’s defeat, and the other is thinking about how to drink the other person to death.”
