"Of course it's true."
Mu Yingying smiled broadly and readily agreed.
"Yay! I knew you were the most reliable! Let me tell you, that guide was useful, but it was written too superficially. There were many parts I didn't understand. Now you're right, what does it matter whether Xia Che likes me or not, or whether he has a girlfriend or not?"
"If he likes me, then I'll pursue him and he'll be with me."
“If I have a boyfriend, I can just investigate and then cut ties with him, right? Seeing is not always believing... Luckily you're here, Yingying.”
Shen Yanxin let out a deep breath, feeling that the tension that had gripped her all night had finally eased, and she felt completely relaxed.
"Yes, I will definitely help you."
Mu Yingying maintained her smile, but felt a slight pang in her heart.
Consider it an attempt to make amends for Chen Yanxin's actions...
I must help her win over Xia Che!
Human nature is like this: one can give up someone they like once for the sake of friendship, but it is often difficult to make the same decision a second time. Human nature is ultimately selfish.
In the face of love, in Mu Yingying's heart, love outweighed friendship at this moment.
...
Meanwhile, Chu Yuying stared blankly at Yu Shiyue in front of her. The theories Yu Shiyue was talking about were not only unheard of to Chu Yuying, but were even somewhat shocking.
"Sister Xiaoyue, are you serious? This so-called... 'bumping into a wall' desensitization method, does it really work?"
Chu Yuying clicked her tongue: "It sounds like self-harm, doesn't it?"
"That's to make you hurt yourself, otherwise what better way could you possibly do it?"
Yu Shiyue shrugged. "I've already analyzed the pros and cons for you. The person you like is most likely straight, so it's not impossible that he won't understand your hints."
"I'm not trying to be mean... but the kind of hints you gave me, even I would probably be confused at first. Just say what you mean directly... being straightforward is the way to go, sis."
Yu Shiyue sighed and held her forehead, feeling for the first time that she might be getting old.
My thinking can't keep up with these young people.
This kind of hint is something Yu Shiyue already did back in middle school, but thinking about it, it makes sense, since Chu Yuying is at that age now.
"What should we do then..."
Chu Yuying panicked upon hearing this, reached out and hugged Yu Shiyue's arm, swaying it back and forth and pleading, "You can't abandon me, Sister Xiaoyue, I can only rely on you."
At this moment, Chu Yuying gradually emerged from her grief, and the more she listened to Yu Shiyue's comforting words, the more reasonable they seemed.
—Isn't that blond guy a straight man?
Isn't it perfectly normal for a clueless straight man to not understand the hints he leaves behind?
Things might not be as they seem at all; it's just that I'm overreacting and mistakenly believing that Xia Che doesn't like me anymore.
Chu Yuying's eyes darted around, recalling the scenes she had experienced with Xia Che before, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xia Che was interested in her.
If Xia Che didn't like her, why would he celebrate her birthday with her? Why would he ride the Ferris wheel with her? Why would he be so good to her?
In summary--
Xia Che must like me!
Chu Yuying felt relieved, and her gaze towards Yu Shiyue became even more urgent: "Sister Xiaoyue, please say something! You won't just stand by and watch me die, right?"
"You... I never said I wouldn't help you."
Yu Shiyue smiled helplessly. She really didn't know what to do with this roommate who was like a younger sister to her. After thinking for a moment, she beckoned to Chu Yuying and said, "Come here, I'll tell you what to do..."
"Uh-huh."
Chu Yuying, like an obedient kitten, leaned in to listen to Yu Shiyue's plan. When she heard something that pleased her, she couldn't help but beam with joy and nod her head like a chick pecking at rice.
After Yu Shiyue finished explaining her plan, Chu Yuying's smile became even more relaxed.
Sister Xiaoyue is such a good person.
The ideas he came up with always seemed useful, and my eyes grew brighter and brighter.
With Sister Xiaoyue, the love strategist, helping to come up with ideas...
You little blondie, just wait until you get taken down by yourself!
...
The bus traveled smoothly on the road, and a bus stop sign and a few passengers could be faintly seen ahead.
"Next stop: Weiyang No.1 Middle School"
A mechanical female voice announced from above the bus. Hearing this, Xia Che, who had been silent with Jiang Yu the whole way, immediately lowered his head and smiled, "You should get off at this stop, right?"
He also felt a sense of helplessness.
Throughout the journey, no matter what topic he brought up, Jiang Yu remained silent, sitting in her wheelchair with a tense expression, seemingly lost in thought.
Even though Xia Che racked his brains, he couldn't get this girl to utter a single word.
"It seems that what I just said touched a raw nerve in Jiang Yu's heart..."
Xia Che frowned slightly, but Jiang Yu's experience was a blank slate in his mind. Through the few fragments in the comic, Xia Che couldn't find any useful information at all.
All that is known is that Jiang Yu was bullied a lot in her previous school. Then, because of her excellent grades, she was noticed by the school leaders of Weiyang and received a scholarship, which gave Jiang Yu the means to transfer schools.
Looking back now, it's very likely that the dark experiences she had at that school, and some of the things she said without realizing it, touched on the scars in Jiang Yu's heart.
Xia Che felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't know exactly what went wrong, so he could only remain silent and stand beside Jiang Yu, silently protecting her.
"Um."
Jiang Yu gave a soft "hmm" through her nose, moved her wheelchair to the exit door, and instead of letting Xia Che continue to help her, she raised her head and stared intently at the passing scenery outside the window, waiting for the moment they arrived at their destination.
As the bus came to a stop and the doors opened, Jiang Yu pushed her wheelchair off the bus.
Every bus in Jiang City has accessible facilities. If it weren't for that middle-aged man's deliberate attempt to make things difficult for Jiang Yu, she could have easily gotten on and off the bus by herself.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to handle the transfer procedures alone.
"be safe."
Xia Che couldn't find anyone to help, so he could only offer a meaningless remark.
"……Thanks."
This time, even Xia Che himself hadn't expected any response, but Jiang Yu paused slightly, turned her head and quickly squeezed out a thank you, then moved her wheelchair and walked towards the school gate of Weiyang without looking back.
"……Oh."
Xia Che touched his nose, somewhat bewildered by the sudden gratitude. By the time he realized what was happening, Jiang Yu had already gone to school, and the bus slowly started moving again.
"I look forward to your guidance in the future, Jiang Yu."
Xia Che lowered his hand and smiled knowingly.
He beat Li Junyang to the punch and got to know the female lead whom Xia Che considered the most pitiful. With him around, Li Junyang, that hypocrite, wouldn't be able to get close to Jiang Yu.
