Lu Xiaoxiao remained silent the entire way back to her dorm room, showing no intention of saying a word.
Ye Li neither asked nor tried to persuade her; she simply stayed quietly by her side.
After washing up, turning off the lights, and lying in bed, Lu Xiaoxiao finally spoke softly, "Pear, do you think... I'm being too dramatic, making a mountain out of a molehill?"
It's been a few months since the breakup, and it's not just the girls in my class I was close to.
Lu Xiaoxiao also heard a lot about what other people thought of her.
Although no one except Ye Li knew the reason for her breakup with Xie Yunkai.
But everyone thought that it was Xie Yunkai.
That face.
There is also future potential.
Whatever mistakes he made, he deserves to be forgiven.
Not to mention, he didn't make any substantial mistakes, and he wasn't even playing both sides.
"Of course not."
Ye Li said softly, "No matter who it is, if their behavior makes you uncomfortable, you have a reason to stop them immediately. If others think you're being dramatic or whatever, it just means that you and they are not on the same wavelength."
In the darkness, Lu Xiaoxiao let out a soft breath.
She was terrified, and even Ye Li thought it was her fault.
In the period immediately following the breakup, Xie Yunkai frequently stood guard at the entrance of the Fanxing Apartment building.
Girls I know are fine; they might casually joke, "Lu Xiaoxiao, you're amazing! You've got the school heartthrob all wrapped around your finger!"
He would glare at a girl he didn't know with an unfriendly expression.
It was as if she didn't know what was good for her.
So much so that she has to mentally prepare herself before opening the door every day.
Even more disheartening, several younger female students came up to her and asked seriously: "Senior Lu, are you sure you're serious? A good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed. Don't regret it someday and try to win back the school heartthrob! At that point, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am now!"
I was speechless: Are all the junior high school girls these days so direct?
On one hand, it's unbelievable: Who gave you the confidence to think you could definitely win Xie Yunkai's heart?
But Lu Xiaoxiao's words were resolute: "Go for it!"
Even as the younger female students left, their backs were filled with joy and excitement.
But even when Xie Yunkai went abroad for an exchange student summer camp during the summer vacation, he didn't see any of the junior girls get their wish.
Then, I received a call from my mother saying that Xie Yunkai had come to our house.
"Pear, do you think I should talk to Xie Yunkai?"
What should we talk about?
"...Tell him not to come to my house anymore, and not to do anything for me."
"So you still can't let go, right?"
"??? No, I've already let it go."
"Since you've let it go, he's not your boyfriend, and you're nobody to him. He doesn't need your permission to do what he wants. He went to your house to help, not necessarily for your sake, but also out of friendship with you as fellow villagers, right? He's such a righteous person. If I were the one who made those trash talk today, I reckon Xie Yunkai would have beaten him up too, right? He has his own code of conduct. What right do you have to talk to him?"
"..."
I feel like something's not right, but I just can't quite put my finger on it.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
Ye Li's gentle, slow voice was like the best soothing lullaby, "He does his thing, you do yours, and everyone should have a clear conscience. As for what the future holds... let time tell! What do you say?"
Pear, I think you're right!
It seems like I already said that.
It seems like they didn't say anything at all.
In her mind's eye was the image of Xie Yunkai gazing intently at her under the orange-yellow streetlights.
The words he had spoken were still ringing in my ears.
"Xiaoxiao, I have no objection if you want to date."
"...I told you that you're the only one for me in this life..."
"...I won't let go."
The young man's cold and sharp voice lingered in his mind, mixed with Ye Li's gentle and soft voice.
With her eyelids drooping, Lu Xiaoxiao fell into a deep sleep.
When the two alarm clocks rang, Ye Li opened her eyes, her expression momentarily confused.
Look at the snow-white ceiling above your head.
Let's take another look at Lu Xiaoxiao, who is also still sleepy-eyed.
Ye Li then realized that she was already in her school dormitory.
Today is the first day of classes.
Milk, oatmeal, and boiled eggs—familiar breakfasts brought a smile to their faces.
At 7:30, the two left the apartment and headed to their respective classrooms for their major courses.
By senior year, the schedule is filled with major courses, so you don't even have to travel to classrooms.
Several afternoons were blank.
The thought of attending classes at school in the morning and then going to the studio to do design work in the afternoon is very appealing.
Ye Li felt that her life could only be described in two words: perfect!
Looking at the time, Xiao Bao should be on his way to school at this hour.
Ye Li sent him a text message.
【Brother Mu, starting today, you're a proud elementary school student! Keep it up!】
With a soft "ding," Xiao Bao got out of the car and casually slid the watch off.
With a smile, Xiao Bao hopped and skipped into the school gate.
Yesterday was my first day of school. The first class was a self-introduction session between the homeroom teacher and the students.
The little boy was naughty.
The little girl is quiet.
The little boys, about the same height as him, walked up to the podium and said in clear voices, "Hello everyone, my name is XXX, my hobby is XX, I am very happy to be your classmate, and I hope that in the next six years, we can help each other and become each other's best friends."
When Xiao Bao went on stage, his heart was pounding rapidly.
