"Leave it alone."

Xu Yanfeng's voice was cold, as if it had been tempered by ice. Chen Mian was stunned, and when he came to his senses, the call had been cut off.

Downstairs in the dormitory, Xia Xi left dejectedly, filled with disappointment. Thinking of Xu Yanfeng's apartment outside the school, which was more than ten or twenty minutes' walk away, she didn't want to walk, so she took a taxi. After a few minutes, she arrived at the gate of the community, but was stopped outside and not allowed to enter.

She asked the guard whether Xu Yanfeng had come, but the guard coldly refused to reveal the owner's information.

Xia Xi was at her wit's end. She covered her forehead with one hand and turned in circles. Suddenly, she thought of the villa where the student union had held a party last time. Would Xu Yanfeng go there? She wasn't sure.

Xu Yanfeng was very uncalm and was not suitable for driving, but the Mercedes-Benz was speeding on the road, and the female voice kept replaying in his mind.

"I still remember you made a bet with us, threatening to capture Xu Yanfeng in three months."

"At the time, I thought it was impossible for you to do it. Not to mention three months, even five or ten months would be too much. Zhou Du thought the same thing and even helped you extend the deadline to one semester."

"Even though you didn't complete it in the end, it doesn't stop me from admiring you. Xu Yanfeng is obviously not a easy person to conquer."

Is it because Xia Xi made a bet with someone that she chased him so fiercely?

Does she like him, or is it her desire to win that's at work?

Even if you like someone, how much of it is real and how much of it is fake?

He was getting deeper and deeper into it, but she treated him as a target, an object that could be "taken down". How ironic. After she got him, did she brag to others: Look, Xu Yanfeng is so difficult to deal with, no one else can get close to him, but he still fell at my feet.

Xu Yanfeng's grip on the steering wheel kept tightening, and the leather rubbed against his palms, making a crackling sound.

He can't think too much about it. If he thinks any further, he will suspect that this relationship is fake from the beginning to the end.

No, Xia Xi really liked him. Her behavior couldn't be fake, and the affection in her eyes when she looked at him couldn't be acted. He tried to convince himself, but there was always another voice in his heart that interfered with him and denied him.

Just like he once saw with his own eyes that what he thought was the most sincere love in the world was actually fake and a bubble.

From then on, he found it hard to believe in love.

Xia Xi was an exception. He had broken the inherent cognition in his heart, but now...

Xu Yanfeng couldn't drive any further, so he stepped on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road. He laid his face on the steering wheel and took a deep breath, but he still felt like he was drowning in the deep ocean, unable to breathe.
