The summer wind was always strong. Jiang Hua carried two books in her arms, her dark blue hair tied with a pale yellow ribbon, wearing a floral skirt and white sneakers. She walked on the leaves, making a "whoosh" sound.
Standing beside her was Xiang Yu, who was wearing a cotton shirt, with neat short hair and glasses on his nose that added to his refined appearance. His fair skin shone in the sunlight. Such an outstanding man could not win Jiang Hua's heart.
Jiang Hua's heart was set on Gu Yiming, while Xiang Yu's heart was set on Jiang Hua. That's youth, isn't it? Knowing your choices will cause you pain, yet still stubbornly persisting in them. High school romances should have ended in high school, but fate brought Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming together into university. What's meant to happen will happen; as Fairy Zixia said, "When it comes to marriage, fate is the ultimate arrangement!"
In the chaotic war of love, one can only fight alone; no one else can help or offer assistance.
Xiang Yu turned her head and glanced at Jiang Hua. Her dark blue hair was lifted by the breeze, revealing a face that was not stunningly beautiful but still delicate. Her usually bright and lively eyes were now filled with melancholy, an unyielding melancholy.
After hesitating for a long time, Xiang Yucai slowly said, "I shouldn't have 'interfered' in your affairs."
Jiang Hua lowered her eyes: "Yes, I know."
Xiang Yu put his hands in his pockets, looked at the coffee shop in the distance, and continued, "I'm an outsider when it comes to your relationship. I can only offer some analysis and suggestions. Ultimately, it's up to you two to decide what to do."
Jiang Hua smiled with relief: "Of course, it's because of me after all."
Looking at Jiang Hua's feigned strength, Xiang Yu suddenly wanted to reach out and pat her back, but he quietly lowered his hand because of something he was thinking about.
He could only protect her; he couldn't think of anything else.
Xiang Yu smiled and said softly, "We've arrived at the coffee shop. Let's go inside and talk."
Jiang Hua nodded and followed Xiang Yu inside.
This coffee shop is different from others; it's decorated very warmly, with a piano at the back and a warm color scheme.
Xiang Yu found a spot by the window and sat down with Jiang Hua. A waiter immediately came over, showing his understanding.
Xiang Yu didn't even glance at the tea menu and said directly, "I'd like a latte, less sugar. Jiang Hua, what about you?"
Jiang Hua took the tea menu, looked at it for a long time, and frowned: "I have decision-making phobia..."
Xiang Yu chuckled softly, looked up at the waiter and said, "Bring this lady a strawberry milkshake."
The waiter answered and went to prepare.
Jiang Hua looked at Xiang Yu and smiled: "Do you come here often?"
Xiang Yu shook her head: "No."
He used to often see a simply dressed girl working at the bubble tea shop next door. Once, when he didn't have any money, she bought him a drink. Now the place has been renovated, and the bubble tea shop has moved. And that girl has grown up...
Jiang Hua suddenly said, "I don't know why, but I always feel like I've been here before."
Xiang Yu also replied, "Really? This place has been renovated before."
Jiang Hua seemed to be saying this unintentionally, but suddenly said, "I don't know why, but every time I see you, I feel like I know you."
Xiang Yu didn't speak, but just looked at the tablecloth, which she had seen in both games and reality.
"Okay, the stuff is here."
Seeing the waiter walking towards them in the distance, Xiang Yu smiled and handed her the strawberry milkshake: "Miss Jiang's strawberry milkshake!"
Jiang Hua took a small sip and felt all her irritability disappear.
Xiang Yu took a sip of coffee and said, "Now you can tell me, what exactly happened?"
Jiang Hua recalled what happened that day and slowly began to speak: "When we were playing the game, we encountered a special quest that required men and women to do separately. When I was doing the quest, I met another player. This player kept pestering me to become his partner. The quest had a time limit, and I was afraid that this player would interfere and cause him to fail the quest. So, I kept going along with this player's wishes and told him that I would think about it and give him an answer later."
Xiang Yu raised an eyebrow. No wonder Jiang Hua was in such a hurry to fight that boss at Huaqing Pool that day. So she was doing a quest. The player she was talking about who was bothering her must be Fengliu Shudai.
Jiang Hua continued, "But after the quest was completed, this player suddenly laughed and, in front of us, said that I had agreed to become his partner. I was very angry and stopped talking to him."
Xiang Yu took a sip of her latte: "So that's how it is..."
As if remembering something, he asked again, "Did you log off immediately, or after a while?"
Jiang Hua thought for a moment and said, "After some time."
Xiang Yu pondered for a moment: "So, it must be that the player gave Yi Gu something. Yi Gu didn't believe it at first, but after seeing these things, he believed it and then logged off."
Jiang Hua continued, "How could that be? What could this player possibly offer!"
Xiang Yu thought for a moment: "Chat history?"
Jiang Hua seemed to realize something and exclaimed in surprise, "The game chat history isn't deleted; he must have taken a screenshot and sent it to Yi Gu. But even if he did, Yi Gu wouldn't believe it, since I didn't explicitly say so..."
Xiang Yu shook her head: "Won't he use deceptive photos?"
Jiang Hua frowned and snorted coldly: "I knew he wasn't a good person."
“He went to great lengths to separate me from Yi Gu. What was his purpose? I don’t believe it was just to become my partner.”
Xiang Yu also realized something: "That's right, he seems to be setting up a huge trap."
Jiang Hua felt increasingly uneasy: "I need to tell Yi Gu to be careful of him."
She had intended to leave, but then realized she and Yi Gu were still arguing, and slumped back into her chair: "Yi Gu and I are still arguing..."
Xiang Yu said, "So what if we argued? Weren't you worried about Yi Gu?"
Jiang Hua scratched her head: "You don't understand. When you're in a relationship and you argue, whoever apologizes first loses face. Besides, it wasn't my fault."
Xiang Yu rested her chin on her hand and said slowly, "In love, there is no right or wrong. If you truly value this relationship, you won't consider anything else. Otherwise, once you lose it, you'll know you'll regret it."
Jiang Hua pondered, recalling the kindness Gu Yiming had shown her, scene after scene playing in her mind like a slideshow.
"Yes, I'll explain it to him when I get back."
Xiang Yu nodded: "That's more like it."
Then, as if remembering something, Jiang Hua suddenly asked, "Xiang Yu, do you play this game too?"
Xiang Yu's heart skipped a beat, but she smiled and said, "Yeah, I'll play too."
Jiang Hua continued, "Which server are you on? What's your game ID? Let's add each other as friends and grind monsters and dungeons together to level up."
