He casually returned to Yao Yuyan's side and handed her the water.
Yao Yuyan narrowed her eyes and took the water that Bai Ye handed her.
She suddenly asked, "Are there any pretty girls at your school?"
Bai Ye broke out in a cold sweat; he knew Yao Yuyan was testing him.
"Not as good-looking as you."
She stared intently into Bai Ye's eyes: "Really?"
Bai Ye's expression remained calm, but his heart was churning: "Really."
Yao Yuyan exclaimed, "Bai Ye, your habits haven't changed at all!"
"What?"
"When lying, his hands always restlessly go behind his back, rubbing his fingers together."
white night:……
He was speechless, wondering if he really had this habit.
His face stiffened slightly as he recalled that he did seem to make that little gesture when he lied.
"Fine, fine, play ball with me!"
Yao Yuyan decided to let Bai Ye off the hook and then go back to check the school's surveillance footage to see which girl Bai Ye was being very close to.
Then find an opportunity to make that girl back down, so that Bai Ye can only belong to her alone, and no one else can disturb the two of them!
Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yao Yuyan didn't keep pressing Luo Qingyan for information. He was afraid she would interrogate him about Luo Qingyan's whereabouts.
Bai Ye stood opposite her, not daring to hit too hard, since she was a girl and a novice.
After going back and forth like this for a few rounds, Bai Ye felt really bored.
He was the one who mostly played, and Yao Yuyan couldn't return the balls. Occasionally she would catch one or two, but they wouldn't go over the net.
Bai Ye suspected that Yao Yuyan was deliberately acting this way towards him.
So all I could do was patiently teach her again and again.
The two classes passed quickly, and Yao Yuyan was able to play badminton with some difficulty.
After the teacher announced the end of get out of class, Bai Ye was about to get a drink of water when he saw Yao Yuyan take a sip of his water.
Bai Ye said with a troubled expression, "Yu Yan, that bottle of water is mine, you took the wrong one."
Unexpectedly, Yao Yuyan said, "I know, but what I want to drink is the water you drank. In exchange, I'll give you the water I drank."
Bai Ye fell silent again.
But Yao Yuyan's heart was burning with passion.
Does this count as an indirect kiss?
I've kissed Bai Ye before, but this is the first time we've exchanged drinks like this!
Bai Ye looked at the water in his hand that should have belonged to Yao Yuyan, feeling endless annoyance.
Do you think he should drink the water or not?
If it were Bai Ye a year ago, he wouldn't have hesitated at all; drinking water that such a beautiful woman had drunk would have been an honor.
But now their relationship is extremely complicated, and Bai Ye really doesn't want to have too much contact with her.
But then I thought about how I'd been forcibly kissed several times, and drinking water that someone else had already drunk from seemed like nothing in comparison.
Bai Ye asked, "get out of class is over, it's lunchtime, aren't you going home?"
I secretly hoped she would leave quickly.
Yao Yuyan invited with some anticipation, "How about we go eat barbecue? I know a newly opened restaurant."
"No, I'm not going. I don't have money, I'm poor!"
The restaurant Yao Yuyan mentioned must be very expensive; Bai Ye simply couldn't afford it. He didn't want to end up eating instant noodles like he did last semester.
Yao Yuyan was somewhat displeased: "Who said you had to pay?"
Bai Ye rolled her eyes: "I can't afford to split the bill either."
"I have money, I'll take care of you, you don't need to pay anything."
"No, I'm strong-willed and can't live off a woman."
After much arguing, Bai Ye still refused to go.
Yao Yuyan originally intended to threaten him with the word "bodyguard".
But Bai Ye's words made him change his mind.
"Yuyan, I'm just a rough guy, an ordinary boy. I don't really understand the thoughts of you upper-class people."
What you call love may be different from what I think of love. Love is something that provides emotional value to each other.
And I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm not good with words. I don't think I can really offer any emotional value. Maybe you're just acting on a whim right now. Have you ever considered that this idea is just a passing fancy?
Once the initial excitement wears off, the so-called emotional value becomes meaningless; a relationship that cannot provide emotional value has no reason to exist.
Do you understand what I mean?
Bai Ye clenched his fists, his eyes reddening, but he couldn't bear to keep his words to himself.
How easy is it to change your feelings for someone? Yesterday, Yao Yuyan waited for him all night under the overpass, and Bai Ye was really touched, but the more she did that, the more fake it felt to him.
The figure he had waited for countless times appeared before him just when he was about to forget about it.
Yao Yuyan has liked Gu Yanzhi for so long, would she change her mind so easily?
Yao Yuyan's feelings for him were different from her previous pure friendship; perhaps it was truly love.
But Bai Ye was afraid... afraid that she was just a substitute for Gu Yanzhi.
He was afraid, afraid that what he had longed for would be obtained in this false form.
I don't want to be his replacement!
Bai Ye didn't say it aloud, but Yao Yuyan should have understood what he meant.
Moreover, the two of us were never a good match in the first place.
Bai Ye lowered his head, turned away so Yao Yuyan wouldn't see him, and forced a smile onto his face.
"Go home quickly, have a good rest at noon, you have class in the afternoon."
As Bai Ye walked out of the stadium, he felt a little empty.
He seemed to have some expectations in his heart, hoping that Yao Yuyan would chase after him.
But it seems that my obsession is just a pipe dream.
He hoped Yao Yuyan would catch up with him and tell him: You are not his replacement.
A hint of self-deprecation played at the corners of his mouth.
She kept saying she liked him, but she always used that coercive way to make demands of him.
Her so-called affection seemed to be nothing more than a handout; she was nothing more than an ugly duckling, a clown whom they could dismiss at will.
Class divisions are established from the outset, and those who attempt to transcend them will find it difficult to reach the end.
He can no longer distinguish himself.
Even if he doesn't admit it, Yao Yuyan still leaves a mark on his heart.
The marks cannot be erased, no matter how dim they become.
On the way to the cafeteria, the sky seemed a bit gloomy. Groups of couples and friends ahead of me were laughing and joking. It seemed that being alone was quite nice.
Carrying a badminton sash and looking at my phone, this seems to be the fun I have after class.
"white night."
He felt as if someone was calling his name from behind, but he felt an unprecedented heaviness in his body. Without turning around, he continued walking forward.
The next moment, a figure hugged him from behind.
Yao Yuyan's face was streaked with tears, looking somewhat like a pear blossom in the rain, and her voice trembled slightly.
“I like you, but it has nothing to do with Gu Yanzhi. You are not his replacement.”
I used to think that love was like the dependence a younger sister has on her older brother, like I have on Gu Yanzhi since childhood. But after meeting you, I realized that love is warmth that is within reach.
I love you, and I don't believe in the idea of being an unequal match. No matter what happens to you in the future, I don't care.
All I know is that I want to be with you right now.
Bai Ye's heart skipped a beat as the girl behind him hugged him tightly, pressing against his back.
Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, and the dampness on his back could not conceal the turmoil in his heart.
The passersby did not stop walking, but they would occasionally turn around to look at them.
The two stood there for a long time, until their tears left traces and the dark clouds dispersed.
The ice seemed to be melting, and the remaining marks appeared to be gradually becoming clearer.
The figures of Xia Qingyue, Luo Qingyan, Ye Qingcheng, and Su Zhimeng reappeared before his eyes.
