After that day, the two didn't see each other for a long time. Song Yu started a life of going between school and home every day. Occasionally, when she had free time, she would call Ya Ya to ask about her recent studies, and the answer she got was nothing more than that everything was normal and her grades were stable.
She knew that Yaya usually only reported good news and not bad news, but she usually knew what was going on, so Song Yu was not very worried about her. If there was something big, Yaya would usually tell her first.
Lan Lin has been very busy with his self-media work recently. Apart from classes, the two of them rarely eat together. After Xie Yunchao finished his classes, his father took him to the company for an internship. The few of them haven't seen each other much during this period.
That day, Song Yu was sitting in a cafe in the school, doing her homework with her head propped up. Xie Yunchao sent her a message asking where she was. She took a photo of her surroundings and sent it out. Not long after, Xie Yunchao came.
When he walked in, he was holding a laptop in his hand. He sat down without saying a word, turned on the computer and started typing. He was dressed as casually and handsome as ever, but you could tell from him that he looked like a student even before he graduated.
Song Yu propped up his head with one hand and teased him, "Office animals, don't mess around with us students. The smell of class is all over my clothes."
"I can't kill you." Xie Yunchao didn't even raise his head, his eyes still fixed on the screen.
Knowing that he was busy, Song Yu didn't say anything else. He went to the front desk to order a cup of coffee for him, then came back and sat down to continue doing his homework, glancing at the computer from time to time.
Lan Lin had just finished a business trip. When she was passing by a coffee shop with her luggage, she saw these two people sitting face to face, one doing homework and the other looking at a computer. She pushed the door open without even putting down her luggage and walked in front of the two people. The three of them looked at each other, and a trace of sadness appeared in each of their eyes.
"Let's gather at the bar tonight, who will respond?" Lan Lin announced with narrowed eyes, and everyone responded.
"I've been exhausted lately." Lan Lin collapsed on the sofa, almost forgetting the taste of wine. "Sleeping in the early morning and waking up at five or six every day, is this how a human being should live?"
Xie Yunchao, who was sitting opposite her, raised his glass towards her and said, "Same."
Song Yu reached out and forked a piece of cantaloupe from the fruit plate on the table. It was crisp and sweet. She pushed the fruit plate in front of the two of them and said, "Try it. This cantaloupe is really delicious."
The two looked at each other and realized that human sorrow and joy could not exist at the same time.
Song Yu glanced at the two people's speechless expressions and said, "What's wrong? It's you who want to work in advance."
"Don't you have any ideas? We're graduating in a year. No, it's June now, and we'll be seniors in a few months."
"No." Song Yu reached out and forked a piece of watermelon with a calm expression. "My expectation for myself is to live a happy life. Besides, I won't starve to death if I manage my finances. I just go with the flow. If I don't live long, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't spend this time on myself?"
This is indeed Song Yu's true thought. She will enjoy every day she lives. Even if she dies suddenly one day, she will not leave any regrets for herself. She has nothing to be nostalgic about. The first person she cares about most is herself. Yaya will grow up and will not need her at all, so the most important thing is to make herself happy.
After a few drinks, Lan Lin suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, "By the way, did you find the person you were looking for?"
Xie Yunchao: "Looking for someone? Who?" He was indeed too busy recently and had hardly met Song Yu. Song Yu had never told him about this kind of thing.
"You don't know?" Lan Lin said, "She's been looking for a man recently, saying he's her former lover."
"Don't talk nonsense." Song Yu stopped him, and then facing Xie Yunchao's inquiring expression, he said, "I told you before that the boy whose family had a car accident recently found some of his things here, and I plan to return them to him."
"What is it?" Xie Yunchao asked, "Why didn't you tell me all this? I'll help you find it."
"You've been too busy lately, and I'm afraid you don't have time." It's true that with a few more people it would be much faster than for her to find it by herself, but she didn't really want to trouble others with this kind of thing.
"Send me the details and I'll ask for you." Xie Yunchao's heart instantly relaxed. He took a look at the WeChat message Song Yu sent him and asked, "Is that all the information?"
"It's been many years." Song Yu said, "Can we find it with this information?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on luck."
Lan Lin raised his head and gestured to Song Yu, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if you can't find it?"
"Or maybe you find him, but he's already turned into a greasy 200-pound fat man. What will you do then?"
Song Yu took a sip of wine. No matter what, the things had to be returned.
"What if I find that White Moonlight by then, and that White Moonlight is rich and well-groomed? What should I do?"
"Oh, by the way, have you told Xu Qiao? What was his reaction?"
Song Yu held the wine in his hand for a long time, "...He has ignored me now."
Xie Yunchao felt something was amiss when listening to the conversation between the two. He glanced at the two people with different expressions, and finally set his sights on Song Yu. "What's going on? What are you talking about?"
Song Yu didn't say anything. Lan Lin looked at him and pointed at Song Yu, "She broke up with Xu Qiao not long ago."
"For that man?" Xie Yunchao asked.
"yes."
"What do you mean by breaking up? That's not breaking up. We've never been together." Song Yu retorted.
He glanced at Song Yu, then opened his phone and retracted the message he had just sent. "How many things have you been hiding from me these days? How come I don't know anything?"
"You are so busy with your daily affairs that you don't have time to care about the affairs of ordinary people like us."
“…”
"What did you mean when you said Xu Qiao ignored you?" Lan Lin nudged her. "Did you two meet again later?"
Song Yu shook his head and said vaguely, "Not really. I just met him at a convenience store once. He happened to be buying water, so I paid for it together. He even transferred the few dollars back to me via WeChat later."
"Tsk tsk." Lan Lin sighed, "You're being so cautious. It feels like we can't even be friends. Our elective class hasn't even ended yet, and you still have to attend classes with him. If I had known, I would have advised you to wait until after the elective class to avoid awkwardness on both sides. But luckily, it's only a few weeks away, so just hold on."
"It's just a class, nothing to be embarrassed about."
Xie Yunchao listened from the side, his eyes filled with gloom. He glanced at the information and sent it out again, "Find this person for me."

When Song Yu arrived at the classroom, the seats were still very empty with only a few people sitting there. There were even a few people studying on their own, writing furiously with a pile of books next to them.
She found the seat they usually sat in before and sat down. There were still 20 minutes before class. She laid out all her books one by one, put down her pen and flipped through a few pages. Then she lay on the table with her hands folded, looking sideways at the leafy tree outside the window. She heard footsteps coming from behind her, she turned her head to take a look, then turned back without interest.
The students in the classroom came one after another, the footsteps began to become noisy, and the classroom gradually became lively. From time to time, there was the sound of stools being turned over and sat down. She moved her ears, but the one next to her did not move.
The bell rang, and the teacher walked in, stood at the podium, and began to call the roll. After he finished taking attendance, he closed the roster and prepared to start class. At this time, a student in the audience raised his hand and said, "Teacher, you didn't read Xu Qiao's name just now."
The students around her looked over at her. The teacher waved and said, "Oh, you mean Xu Qiao? He asked for leave today because of something."
"...Thank you, teacher."
After the class, Song Yu packed his schoolbag. Why should he tell his teammates about asking for leave? Of course, it would be more convenient to tell the teacher directly. Everyone did that, so there was nothing strange about it.
There was only this one class today, and Song Yu didn't want to go anywhere after class, so he just went home.
She changed her clothes, cooked herself a simple bowl of noodles, brought it to the small table, and sat on the carpet to start eating. She held the TV remote control in her left hand and used her mobile phone to cast a TV series to watch while eating.
The room was very quiet, with only the noise from the TV and the occasional swallowing sound.
After dinner, she rinsed the bowl and put it in the dishwasher, then lay down on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the chat page on her phone. Should she ask him? What if he asked for leave because he was sick? Wouldn't it be too unkind not to ask after he knew he was on leave?
Click, Song Yu turned off the phone. Forget it, there is no need to greet such a grown-up person. Maybe sending a message will cause trouble to the other person.
Last time at the convenience store, he had nothing in his hands and was obviously not wearing the bracelet she gave him.
She lay on the sofa silently for a while, and soon jumped out of bed, grabbed her cell phone, and asked, "It's not a big deal, why think so much?"
His finger hovered over the phone for a moment. [Song Yu: The contract renewal we talked about earlier.]
As soon as the message was sent, Song Yu received a reply before he could type the second sentence.
The message was instantly replied, "Yes, I've thought about it carefully. I really may not have the energy to teach Yaya anymore next semester, when she's a senior. She's very smart and hardworking. There are many teachers who are better than me. I believe that under their guidance, Yaya will be able to get into her ideal university next year. I wish her dreams come true."
After receiving the message from Xu Qiao, Song Yu was stunned for a long time before replying, "Okay, thank you for your hard work during this period."
As expected, there was no reply from the other side.
Song Yu was silent for a while, then sent a message to Yaya to explain this special situation. Then she asked Lan Lin for the contact information of the educational institution she had mentioned before. After adding it, the other party quickly sent several experienced teachers over. She picked a few of them and sent them to Yaya, asking her to tell her which one she liked when she had time.
Yaya is currently in class, so naturally he has no time to reply to her, but there is no need to rush. There is still a month left before this year's summer vacation, and Xu Qiao said that he will still finish teaching in this month.
After dealing with these miscellaneous matters, Song Yu browsed the forum and just clicked on a post whose title caught her attention: [What should I do if I confessed to my friend but we can no longer be friends?]
The post is very new, having been published only a minute ago, and there are not many comments below, but everyone seems to be very experienced in this kind of thing, and they all give advice to the author in the comments.
[3rd floor: The original poster should have anticipated this situation before saying it. Even after saying it, his friends still didn't do it. The value of this statement is still increasing.]
[4th floor: OP, what you need to do now is stay with your friends and scold anyone who says something bad about you. This is the only way to rebuild a pure friendship.]
[6th floor: 3rd floor's "King of Understanding" is here again, 4th floor, please stop using shady tactics every day, okay? If you ask me, the original poster, you should first find out how your friends feel about you right now. Some people can't tell the difference between love and pure friendship after being friends for a long time.]
After scanning all the comments, Song Yu felt everyone was making sense, so he joined in the fun and replied, "My situation is exactly the opposite of the original poster's... After I declined, my friends started avoiding me."
Not long after this comment was posted, the poster of the thread sent her a private message, "Our situations are exactly opposite. We can analyze each other's situations. Can you add me in touch?"
