Sun Yingning's pupils contracted slightly. She instinctively wanted to move forward, but her body trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
As Wu Yue leaned against the wall, about to assume the usual pose of watching a play with her arms crossed, the system's voice suddenly rang in her mind.
"..."
"Sun, don't come near my brother. Keep your distance when you speak, or you'll disappear," a girl's indifferent voice rang out.
Sun Yingning pulled her hand back from mid-air.
Looking at her disappointed eyes, Cheng Pingxi said gently, "I've read the letter in your album, Yingning. Thank you for liking me. Anyone would feel heartbroken about your parents and your situation, always being in this cold place..."
"Yingning, are you tired?"
Cheng Pingxi's last words made Sun Yingning cry even harder.
To be fair, it was an extremely sad and tender scene, but when Sun Yingning shed blood instead of tears, the scene became very chilling.
Wu Yue didn't know if Cheng Pingxi was afraid; perhaps it was better to say that he was an actor after all, with excellent control over his expressions. His expression was calm and natural, as if the girl standing in front of him was just an ordinary girl. He maintained his gentle and approachable demeanor, with a faint, polite, and aloof smile at the corners of his mouth.
"Idol……"
Sun Yingning hastily wiped away her tears: "It's my business that I like you. I want to thank you for being willing to come see me and for agreeing to this willful request of mine."
"I know I'm filled with resentment and can't be reincarnated... Could you... could you let me hug you just once?" Sun Yingning pleaded, her voice choked with sobs.
She didn't care if she disappeared.
Upon hearing this, Yan Chiyu leisurely added, "Your resentment stems from other people, not from evil spirits. You can still be reincarnated."
It's just that it's uncertain which of the six realms one will be reborn into.
Cheng Pingxi stood still.
A few breaths later, he suddenly raised his lips, his voice gentle and warm, carrying a hidden soothing power: "Yingning, perhaps I should refuse you, so that you will have a chance to be reincarnated. But at this moment, I will respect your wishes."
The boy slowly opened his arms—
His fingers were long and slender, with distinct knuckles, and had a cool, white hue.
Sun Yingning's eyes flickered slightly. She looked down at her pale, bluish-black hands.
It really makes one feel inferior.
She even felt that her touch was a desecration to Cheng Pingxi.
"Yingning, if..."
Sun Yingning suddenly raised her head, no longer hesitating. She moved her still trembling body and ran towards Cheng Pingxi.
Their once-in-a-lifetime embrace took place on this warm, sunny morning in the misty, cold corridor. A warmth that belonged only to her was born.
Sun Yingning gradually disappeared in Cheng Pingxi's arms, looking as disheveled as starlight being shattered...
However, a single clear tear slid down the corner of that usually bloodshot eye, clear, sparkling, and as lustrous as jade.
Cheng Pingxi froze abruptly, a strange feeling washing over him.
As her body gradually dissipated like a ghostly blue flame, a gentle and happy smile appeared on Sun Yingning's face. She slowly stepped back, bowed deeply, and said emotionally, "Goodbye, my faith."
Goodbye, my beloved, the one I love but who is forever out of reach.
The chill in the room was carried away by the sunlight.
Above the Fifth Middle School, a gentle breeze blows and clouds drift lazily.
-
In the afternoon, students returned to school one after another.
Later that night, the classroom lights were on, and the atmosphere for learning gradually intensified.
During evening self-study, Mu Lingzhang called Yan Chiyu and Wu Yue to the corridor.
"Exchange student?"
Yan Chi glanced at Mu Lingzhang out of the corner of his eye, his tone unhurried and languid.
Mu Lingzhang had been teaching Yan Chiyu for two years and had figured out the guy's temperament and gotten used to his attitude.
"Yes, it's a prestigious school in the capital. Let me clarify, this prestigious school is not like those romance novels with school beauties and handsome boys. Its teachers and students are among the best in the country."
Mu Lingzhang added, "It's actually a one-way exchange, with two places for each of the three middle schools in Songcheng. After careful consideration, the school decided to send the two of you."
