The longest-lasting expression of love is to be there for someone.

Unless that person turns a blind eye and pretends not to understand.

That kind of companionship is one person's persistence, one person's wishful thinking.

A person died in despair.

...

Ye Zhou disappeared into the library without ever looking back at Jiang Jiayan.

The girl was chilled by the wind, her body slowly descending until she squatted on the ground, hugging her legs.

She never imagined it would end like this.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock."

"Tick-tock".

"Is it raining?" Jiang Jiayan looked at the water droplets on her knees. She looked up and saw that the light shining through the green leaves was very bright.

When I touched my face, it was covered in water.

"How is that possible?"

The girl spoke to herself with a heavy nasal tone.

She haphazardly wiped the "water" off her face.

But the more you wipe, the more it spreads.

"How could that be? How could I possibly cry?"

Jiang Jiayan took out her phone and the call was answered almost as soon as she dialed it.

"Jiayan, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Susan's voice, Jiang Jiayan choked up and couldn't speak for a long time.

She desperately needs someone to comfort her.

Susan immediately realized what was happening and said aggressively, "You're crying? Did Ye Zhou make you cry? Where are you now?"

Jiang Jiayan wiped away her tears and said in a choked voice, "The city library."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there."

Jiang Jiayan sat on the bench and took the tissue Susan handed her.

"Where is Ye Zhou? I'll get revenge for you right now! Tell me, what did he ever do to you!"

Even when a beautiful woman sheds tears, she is still stunningly beautiful, making one feel even more heartbroken.

He said he didn't like me and told me to stop stringing him along.

"Oh, he really said that? This guy won't take the opportunity when I offer him one. He's really asking for trouble! Keeping him hanging on is giving him face!"

"So what if he's first in the grade and handsome? What's with the attitude? In terms of family background and connections, he's nowhere near good enough for you. Look at how arrogant he is."

"But, but, I didn't keep him hanging on at all; I had my own plans."

Jiang Jiayan explained, feeling wronged.

"I've already made up my mind. After the college entrance exam, when we're both in college, we can start dating and be together openly. Right now, I just want to focus on my studies."

“Ah—” Susan deliberately dragged out the last syllable, “You really intend to be with this poor boy? Isn’t that like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung?”

Jiang Jiayan blushed and said shyly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You're just too kind. Ye Zhou is really not good enough for you."

The two were arguing so much that Jiang Jiayan almost forgot why she had been crying.

Susan lay casually on the recliner.

He muttered, "Simps are common, but handsome simps are rare."

"Huh? What?" Jiang Jiayan was distracted for a moment and didn't hear what Susan said.

Susan immediately said seriously, "It's nothing, I just meant that Ye Zhou is a very cunning person. People who are good at studying are usually very cunning."

He does this so that he can watch you fall into his trap step by step, make you love him so much that you can't extricate yourself, and eventually become his slave.

Haven't you heard the saying, "It takes ten years to dig a hole, and the best time is now"? Tsk, just thinking about it is terrifying.

Jiang Jiayan paused.

Is it not over between them yet?

Is Ye Zhou still throwing a tantrum at her?

However, he spoke so firmly, as if there was no room for negotiation.

It was as if Jiang Jiayan was the one begging for reconciliation.

She is Jiang Jiayan!

I never need to ask anyone for anything.

She was always asked for help by others.

A princess, high above all, will never bow her head.

He lowered his head, and the crown fell off.

Jiang Jiayan wiped away her tears and held Susan's hand tightly.

"Please don't tell anyone about what happened today, okay? Only the two of us know about it. I feel ashamed if others find out about this."

Susan nodded firmly.

"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."

"Thank you, Susan. I've always considered you my best friend. You're always the first one to appear whenever I'm sad or upset. You're the best person I've ever met, so there are many things I only want to say to you. This is our secret."

Susan's hands were held tightly, and she felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Alright, alright, stop talking, it's too cheesy."

Jiang Jiayan smiled.

...

When the homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang, was explaining a problem on the podium, he knew exactly what the students below were doing.

The chalk stub was almost completely used up.

*Smack*

Accurate hit.

Liu Tian, ​​who was still asleep, suddenly stood up again.

Old Wang said coldly, "After class, you and Ye Zhou come to my office."

Ye Zhou, standing nearby, claimed that he was an innocent victim of serious injury.

After class.

Old Wang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and placed the large transparent plastic cup on the table, where much of the red paint had chipped off.

The plastic cup had clearly been used for a long time, as its surface had turned yellow.

Old Wang glanced at Liu Tian and said, "Let's talk about you first!"

Liu Tian prepared his usual, well-rehearsed lines, after all, he had written quite a few self-criticisms.

"Teacher, I will never sleep in class again. I will study hard and make progress every day, aba aba aba..."

"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. You're so stubborn! Look at the good seat we've arranged for you, third row, middle, next to the top student in the grade. You should study hard and get into a university, wouldn't that be better? This is the last year, blah blah blah..."
