Chapter 125 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
"But it seems pointless to compare how miserable we are. If we're going to compare, we should compare optimism, resilience, and who lives a better life."
The sadness in Zhou Mu's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a firm belief.
She seems very confident in herself?
In comparison, Song Lifan thought that she was not as good as this girl who was two years younger than her. Her life was not easier than hers, but she was still strong, positive, and even kind enough to stand up for a stranger.
"Okay, let's see who is more optimistic and resilient, and who can live a better life."
"That's right!" Zhou Mu smiled and stood up, asking Song Lifan, "How are you going to get home? I'll take you?"
Song Lifan looked at the unfinished flyers in her hand and shook his head. "No need, thank you!"
Zhou Mu: "Then you promise you've really come to terms with it."
"Pfft~" Song Lifan suddenly laughed, "Actually... I didn't want to commit suicide."
"Um?"
Zhou Mu was stunned. So... she had misunderstood?
Song Lifan pointed to a bodyguard in black not far away, "I brought a bodyguard. He just went to buy me water. I was just looking at the fish in the water."
"Haha~" Zhou Mu laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't understand the situation."
When I first took the initiative to interact with a stranger, I thought I was spreading goodwill, but it turned out to be all a misunderstanding.
"Why should I apologize? Although I didn't intend to die, the pressure was really overwhelming. I'm telling the truth. Thank you for your comfort!"
Zhou Mu's embarrassment eased slightly. "You're welcome. I didn't do anything."
Song Lifan handed Zhou Mu a business card. "This is my contact information. You can contact me if you need any help in the future."
Zhou Mu declined, "No need. My life isn't actually that difficult. I'll just keep my family matters to myself."
"Take it. My name is Song Lifan. Although I am at odds with my family, the name of the Song family should be enough to deter a petty person like me. But I hope you will never need to use it."
Having said that, it would be impolite for Zhou Mu to refuse again. "Okay, thank you, Song Lifan. My name is Zhou Mu."
Zhou Mu put the business card in her pocket, but she didn't plan to use it. They were just strangers, and she couldn't possibly ask a stranger for help. She picked up the hood and the flyer. "Well, since you're alright, and I've rested enough, I need to get back to work. Goodbye!"
"Wait!" Song Lifan called out to Zhou Mu, gesturing for the bodyguard to come over. He took the water from the bodyguard's hand. "We should be friends now, right? I'll offer you a bottle of water. You won't refuse, will you?"
He gestured for Zhou Mu to look at the bottle opening, "It's unopened, don't worry."
"Then I won't be polite, thank you!"
Zhou Mu gulped down more than half the bottle in one go, then pulled out a milk candy from his pocket. "Then I'll treat you to this candy. Life is so tough, you should eat more candy. I hope your future life will be smooth sailing and sweet."
"Okay, thank you!"
Song Lifan held the candy in his hand and watched Zhou Mu leave.
Zhou Mu noticed the gaze that hadn't disappeared from behind him, turned around, waved to Song Lifan, and gave him a bright smile, but then vanished.
"As expected, I'm not suited to be a little sun like Feifei."
Zhou Mu felt her face was about to freeze from smiling. She thought he was going to commit suicide, so she tried her best to be optimistic and positive to encourage him, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding!
She will always remember how much motivation Feifei's smile gave her when she was in the dark, which is why she imitated Feifei. Although today was a misunderstanding, she also comforted a fellow sufferer.
She rubbed her somewhat stiff face, unaware of the trouble her well-intentioned act would cause her.
On the other side, Song Lifan kept an eye on Zhou Mu's figure until she completely disappeared from sight, then he said to the bodyguard, "Isn't she cute?"
"yes."
"What a strong, optimistic and kind girl!" Song Lifan couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it. "She would actually reopen her own wounds to comfort a stranger."
How could Song Lifan, who had never experienced such selfless kindness, not be attracted?
How could someone in darkness not try to seize a glimmer of light?
Song Lifan unwrapped the candy and put it in his mouth. It was so sweet! Just like her smile, it sweetened his heart.
"Go check, she should still be in school," Song Lifan instructed.
"yes."
Zhou Mu, who was handing out flyers, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. "What the hell? With such a thick hood and such a bright sun, why am I shivering?"
When Feifei returned, she brought Zhou Mu a lot of gifts, and the two arranged to meet at a coffee shop.
"Mumu, I heard that our high school sent you an admission notice? Is it true? Can we be classmates?"
Zhou Mu smiled and nodded.
"So, did you agree?" Feifei asked eagerly.
“I agreed. Mingzhu International High School waived all my tuition and fees, and I also received a scholarship every year that was much higher than that of Nan Yi High School. I had no reason not to agree.”
"That's great!" Feifei hugged Zhou Mu's shoulders. "With our grades, we'll definitely be in the same class, and then we can be deskmates. Kong Ying is gone, but with you here, all my sadness is gone."
Zhou Mu chuckled, "If Kong Ying heard this, he'd probably be angry."
"He can't hear us, and besides, he's probably having a great time with his new British friends right now. He might have already forgotten about us."
Song Lifan sat in the car, his eyes fixed on the two girls in the shop window. "What a small world."
When he received Zhou Mu's information, he couldn't calm down. He had finally met his light, but this light had such a good relationship with Yan Songyu of the Yan family. In fact, Zhou Mu had ruined his plan to scheme against Yan Feifei.
But he couldn't hold a grudge against Zhou Mu, nor could he abandon her. So he blamed everything on Yan Songyu. It must have been Yan Songyu and Yan Feifei who bewitched her. She had done such a great favor by saving Yan Feifei, yet the Yan family still allowed her to work part-time and struggle to make a living. This showed that they weren't sincere towards her.
"Is the transfer all done?" Song Lifan asked the man in the passenger seat.
That was someone his uncle gave him; he was his assistant and bodyguard.
"Young Master, not yet. Your father doesn't agree to transfer you to another school, and I'm still negotiating with him."
Enraged, Song Lifan slammed his fist on the chair. "He gave up on me a long time ago, what right does he have to tell me what to do!"
"Transfer schools?" Yan Songyu frowned. "Song Lifan wants to transfer to Mingzhu International High School?"
Chen Jin replied, "Yes."
"No, Song Lifan is too dangerous. Feifei is still at Mingzhu International School. We can't let him transfer there."
Feng Yu patted Yan Songyu on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, don't forget the backup plan I left behind. Since he has time to run around, just find him something to do. I think he should be very happy to have a smart and healthy younger brother."
