"That's great. I also want to take a good walk around the campus before leaving. Let's just walk around. I'll show you the campus where I have lived and studied for four years." After hearing Qiu Mengyun's suggestion, Xia Tian happily agreed.

"Then I'll have to trouble our tour guide Xia to explain it to me in detail." Qiu Mengyun said with a smile.

"No problem, just follow me." Xia Tian responded with a smile.

The two walked side by side along the artificial lake. Perhaps because he was about to leave the campus, Xia Tian did not walk fast. Qiu Mengyun followed him quietly, accompanying him silently without saying a word to disturb him.

After walking for a while, Xia Tian pointed to the basketball court in front and said, "Do you see that basketball court over there? This is one of the busiest places in our school after school. Every time after school, many boys come here to play basketball. Of course, there is another important reason why it's so lively here. That's because when the boys are playing basketball, there are many girls watching outside. Every time someone makes a good shot, you can immediately hear the screams and cheers of the girls outside the court."

Qiu Mengyun laughed and said, "Haha! I think those boys may not really like playing basketball, but they definitely like hearing the girls' cheers and enjoying their admiring looks."

Xia Tian chuckled and said, "Almost! But it's a two-way street. It's not just the boys playing basketball who like to hear the girls screaming. The girls watching the games also like to see the boys running hard on the court and showing off their youthful passion."

"Of course, the boys who come to watch the game every day are there purely to see the girls."

"It seems that you know a lot! To be honest, have you ever been a member of the football-watching team?" Qiu Mengyun asked curiously.

Hearing this question, Xia Tian's eyes dimmed slightly. "No, actually, in the beginning, I was one of the players off the court. But later, for some reasons, I stopped playing, and since then, I rarely come to the court anymore."

"Is it because of your ex-girlfriend?" Although she already knew the answer in her heart, Qiu Mengyun still couldn't help asking this question.

Xia Tian nodded: "Yes."

"Why? If she doesn't allow you to play cards or games, I can understand that. She is afraid that you will go astray. But playing ball should be considered a very healthy hobby. Why does she have to stop you?" Qiu Mengyun continued to ask.

Xia Tian sighed and said helplessly, "Haha, it was mainly because I was quite good at basketball at the time, so every time I played, a lot of seniors would come to watch and cheer me on. Then she thought that my motives for playing basketball were not pure, that I didn't really play it because I loved the sport, but that I played every day to attract the attention and likes of other girls. So, she had a fight with me because of this. After the fight, she didn't talk to me for a week, and I gave up my hobby of playing basketball to avoid making her angry."

Feeling the loss and sadness in Xia Tian's tone, Qiu Mengyun felt an inexplicable heartache for no reason. She took a step closer to Xia Tian and stretched out her white and tender little hand to hold Xia Tian's rough big hand.

"Ah? This...you..." Xia Tian, who was strolling with his head down, had never expected Qiu Mengyun to suddenly attack and take his hand. Completely confused by the situation, he looked up at Qiu Mengyun beside him and stammered several times, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Feeling the struggle in her palm, Qiu Mengyun not only did not retreat, but instead held Xia Tian's hand even tighter.

She looked at Xia Tian with a smile on her face. "That's all in the past. Don't dwell on the unhappiness of the past. No matter what, those were your experiences and part of your college life. Whether happy or sad, they are all memories of your youth."

"As human beings, we should look forward and let go of past unhappiness. This is forgiving others as well as forgiving ourselves. Don't worry, with me in your life, you will definitely live a happy life every day."

Qiu Mengyun felt that she must be radiant at this moment. She was using her kindness, gentleness, and understanding to heal a boy who had been scarred by love. She wondered what Xia Tian would think of her. Did he feel so powerful now, that he was the light of his life?

Oh, why is he suddenly silent? Is he too moved? Did I push too hard? Will he burst into tears soon? If he cries, should I comfort him? If he wants my shoulder, should I lend it to him? Or should I just give him a warm hug?

"Uh! Are you okay? Why do you suddenly seem strange?" Just as Qiu Mengyun was still thinking about how she should completely heal Xia Tian, a love-sick man who was hurt by love, Xia Tian's words, mixed with doubt and a little surprise, completely brought her back to reality.

Qiu Mengyun: "What could possibly happen to me? I'm just worried that something might happen to you, so I came here to comfort you!"

Xia Tian spread his hands and said, "I'm sure I'm fine. I've let go of the past a long time ago. If I really minded, do you think I could tell you about this?"

Qiu Mengyun: ...

At this moment, many questions popped up in her mind. So: Am I being too sentimental?

After figuring out what was going on, Qiu Mengyun felt a mixture of shame and anger. It was all in vain that she had felt sympathy for him just now; it turned out he was completely fine. If you said you were fine, why not just speak normally? Why are you speaking so softly and in such a low tone? I thought you were depressed. You're really deceiving me.
