Ye Ju was talking about the competition to select one of the four best couples.
Lin An quickly understood Ye Ju's subtext. If he had chosen Ye Ju among Ye Ju, Jian Shuier, Xu Yaoji and Gong Ya at that time, Ye Ju would have given up revenge for him, but he chose the path of destroying everyone who was tired and ruined.
Ultimately, he was the one who made the mistake.
Lin An felt uncomfortable.
Song Chan was stunned by Ye Ju's answer, and then frustration flashed in his eyes again. He couldn't help but say, "Ye Ju, I didn't beat you back then, and I haven't beaten you now. Why are you so powerful? We are obviously both girls."
Ye Ju stood there quietly, his eyes still as clear as water, and did not answer Song Chan.
Li Baiwei said, "Miss Song Chan, are you going to admit defeat?"
"I'm not giving up." Song Chan exhaled softly, his fighting spirit ignited again: "Ye Ju, you don't know the real Lin An, you don't know what Lin An really needs. Everything you do is forcibly causing trouble to Lin An based on your personal will. You are the culprit for Lin An's pain, you don't deserve to like Lin An."
Lin An entered university and met Jian Shuier, Ye Ju, Li Baiwei, Xu Yaoji, and Gong Ya. Many stories happened with them. The stories were very lively and overall they were sweet campus love stories.
But since the Best Couple competition began, Lin An has been caught in complicated love entanglements and has always had to face desperate choices. He is in great pain.
The source of his pain was Ye Ju. Ye Ju was the culprit who exposed the contradictions hidden in the dark. She was the source of his pain.
At that time, he actually saw the contradiction hidden in the dark, but he was unable to solve it. All he wanted to do was to delay it. As long as he could delay it until graduation from university, even if everyone really fell apart, they would have spent four wonderful years together, and there would be fewer regrets and less pain.
It’s all Ye Ju’s fault.
"What does Lin An truly need? Are you talking about the ordinary life Lin An longs for? Perhaps," Ye Ju said in a dispassionate tone. "A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. A counterfeit carried to its extreme is more real than the real thing. Perhaps in a certain timeline, Lin An didn't meet us. After spending four peaceful years in college, he graduated and got a job at a state-owned enterprise. He married an ordinary-looking, family-oriented woman, had a pair of children, and died at the age of 88, living a peaceful and ordinary life."
"This is what you think Lin An truly needs. It's also the reason why you knew Lin An long ago and didn't bother him."
"But is this really what Lin An needs in his heart?"
“Humans always think they know themselves best, but in reality, driven by their instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, they deceive themselves.”
"You are wrong. What Lin An really desires in his heart is not an ordinary life."
"What is that?" Song Chan couldn't help but ask.
"A hug." Ye Ju said.
"A hug, is that so simple?" Song Chan hesitated.
"It's normal for a boy who longs for an ordinary life to desire something as low-desire as a hug. Any hug will do. What Lin An needs is a hug that can ease his inner loneliness." Ye Ju said affirmatively.
"Lin An, is this really what you need in your heart?" Song Chan looked at Lin An with great regret in his eyes.
What does Lin An need in his heart?
If the answer was six months ago, he would want to live an ordinary life.
Now, half a year later, his answer is that he wants to be alone.
But what does he really need in his heart?
A hug?
A warm hug that can give you encouragement when you are frustrated in life.
A reassuring hug that allows you to hear your heartbeat when you are lonely and lost.
A gentle hug that can melt away all the stress when you are exhausted.
A silent embrace that makes you feel completely understood without the need for any words.
A firm hug that will open up for you even if the whole world turns its back on you.
An inclusive embrace that allows you to remove all disguises and be your true self.
A true embrace that you can trust without reservation and let you know that life is no longer lonely.
To be honest, before hearing this answer, Lin An had other thoughts in his mind.
Hearing this answer, his heart longed for something so simple.
Lin An nodded: "What I want is indeed a hug."
Hearing this answer, Song Chan lowered his head, feeling even more frustrated.
