Yan Cuo ran out quickly, the summer evening breeze blowing in her ears, Su He calling her from behind, but she seemed to hear nothing, and kept running until she stopped at the school corridor.
She just sat there, her eyes dull, not knowing what she was looking at. She seemed to be stuck in a dead end, she didn't want to hurt him, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get the result she wanted.
Su He watched her from a distance and did not come forward. She should let herself calm down and think carefully.
Xu Lin's feelings were passionate and unstoppable, but before him, there was Yu Muyang. Su He understood their past and knew how difficult it had been for them.
But she could only watch and could do nothing. Yan Cuo was very good, she had always known that, but her heart was too small and could only accommodate a small person. No matter how hard others tried, they could not enter her heart.
Yan Cuo sat for a while and then stood up. Her expression had returned to normal. Su He looked at her with some concern, only to see her smile at him. Su He knew in her heart that she had vented her anger. Now Yan Cuo was still as full of strength as usual.
It was true that the strong Yan Cuo rarely lost control of her emotions. Even if she did, she would recover quickly, just like now. Perhaps only in front of Yu Muyang would she show her true self, wanton and real.
The two of them walked slowly towards the classroom. Just as they turned the corner, they saw a figure standing in front of them. They recognized it immediately: it was Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao walked towards them, with anger and sadness on her face. Yan Cuo knew in his heart that she was doing it for Xu Lin.
Sure enough, she walked straight towards Yan Cuo, gritting her teeth, "Yan Cuo, how could you, how could you hurt him like that?"
Yan Cuo looked at her without saying a word, but Su He stepped forward and argued with her, "How did Yan Cuo hurt him? Is it wrong not to like someone? Does he condescend to say that he likes her, so Yan Cuo should jump on him with joy? You don't understand the hurt Yan Cuo has suffered before, so don't make rash comments here."
Xu Xiaoxiao bit her lips tightly, her face flushed with anger, "He was such a proud person, but he became like this for you, drinking every day and still calling your name when he was drunk. Do you know how uncomfortable I am? My heart is so torn and broken.
You told me you were not wrong, so was he wrong? He just liked you, was he wrong? If liking someone is wrong, then wouldn’t I be guilty of a heinous crime?
She kept looking at Yan Cuo, tears sliding down her eyes from time to time, but she didn't wipe them away, just letting them stay, with a look of grief on her face.
Yan Cuo and Su He were both shocked. They knew Xu Xiaoxiao liked Xu Lin before, but no one expected that this love was so deep. In more than two years of being classmates, they had never seen her show such an expression. It looked like she had lost the whole world.
Yan Cuo suddenly felt his throat extremely dry and he couldn't speak for a long time. All the words he had prepared in his mind were completely forgotten at this moment, and in the end only one sentence was left.
"I'm sorry, but I can only do this, and I have to do this. Only when he completely gives up on me can we have the best ending."
Xu Xiaoxiao kept crying silently, tears constantly falling from the corners of her eyes. She suddenly felt a despair she had never felt before. She squatted down and covered her face, "I really like him, I like him so much that I'm about to die, but what can I do? He doesn't like me, he said he only wants you.
I poured my heart out, but he didn't even look at me and just walked away. I really don't know what to do. I can only watch him become more and more depressed because of you, but I have no way to do anything.
Yan Cuo couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he walked over and handed her a tissue. Then he squatted down and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Xu Xiaoxiao, you are a good girl. I misunderstood you before. If you like him, you should be brave enough to pursue him. He will be moved by you one day. As for me, he may be unwilling, or it may be a youthful obsession, but that will slowly dissipate with time.
Maybe you two will be a good couple in the future. Be brave, because I will never be an obstacle to you."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at her in a daze, as if she hadn't reacted to her words immediately. But she stood up and looked at her with a faint smile, "Come on, believe in yourself, you are very good."
After saying that, she followed Su He away, leaving Xu Xiaoxiao alone there, thinking blankly.
Is it really possible? Will there be such a day?
If there really is one, then I must not give up. Since I have decided to hold his hand, then even if they are separated by a long distance, I am willing to go.
I am willing to walk those ninety-nine steps alone, walk up to him and tell him, look, Xu Xiaoxiao is not bad at all, will you really not consider me?
As if suddenly filled with strength, Xu Xiaoxiao walked towards the classroom. There was no sadness or despair on her face anymore, only fighting spirit remained.
Xu Lin, are you ready to accept my pursuit?
The three of them returned to the classroom one after another, their faces looking normal. Some classmates who wanted to gossip had to put their thoughts aside.
Time passed by, and the busy study life every day was fulfilling and satisfying. In the blink of an eye, autumn came again.
The autumn in Ancheng is beautiful. The golden maple leaves fall on the streets, but it does not add any bleak atmosphere, it just feels beautiful.
This city is so beautiful, full of human touch, pure hearts and sincere feelings.
Just like when Yancuo came here five years ago, she was all alone and helpless, but now she has everything. She has gained her best friends, her closest family, and, most importantly, him.
When she came here, she didn't understand what love is. Now she understands that love is mutual and love is giving. Love is looking for you regardless of everything. Love is trying to let oneself settle down little by little and accumulate little by little.
During these long years, they have transformed themselves into gentle people, and they only hope that the years will be gentle to them.
Yan Cuo and Su He continued to repeat their daily routine, which was simple but satisfying. The atmosphere in the class became more and more tense, and they even had to run to eat.
There are too many variables this year, and no one knows what will happen in the future, but all we can do now is to live in the present without regrets.
After that, Yancuo returned to her perennial second place position. She wasn't annoyed at all, nor did she have the same obsession with being number one as before. Instead of pursuing that false ranking, it was better to be simple and open like now.
