At this moment, Han Xinyue was wearing the school uniform of Linchuan Middle School, but the seat she was sitting in belonged to a specially admitted student.
Linchuan Middle School is also a well-known key middle school in Jiang City, only slightly inferior to Weiyang Middle School.
In order to achieve good results in student competitions in various fields, each middle school usually recruits students with special talents in various fields. These students may not have very good grades, and they would not be able to enter these key middle schools if they were only judged by their grades.
However, as long as one has special talents in other fields, there is an opportunity to be admitted through special admissions, commonly known as "talented students." These students can take a different route to enter key middle schools.
Clearly, this mysterious Miao girl is a special student admitted to Linchuan.
"I was originally planning to play around in the college league and then come find you after it's over. Interesting guy... we've met again so soon?"
Han Xinyue stroked her chin, her beautiful eyes looking at Xia Che with interest. Then, as if sensing something, she turned her head to look at a certain place, where a beautiful girl whose looks were no less than her own was staring at Xia Che in disbelief.
Rather than saying they were staring at Xia Che, it would be more accurate to say...
He was staring at the girl in Xia Che's arms.
"oh?"
Han Xinyue's smile became even more amused.
She recognized the girl's eyes.
Shock, doubt, confusion, and a barely perceptible hint of jealousy.
As expected of a man who can find me interesting, he seems to be quite popular in Weiyang...
...
"Careful, what's wrong?"
Mu Yingying was a little confused. She had just gone to buy milk tea and finally managed to squeeze back to her seat. Before she could even give the milk tea to her best friend, she saw her friend staring in disbelief with an abstract expression that looked like an egg could fit inside her mouth.
What did you see?
Is this some kind of ghost?
"No...it's nothing."
Shen Yanxin turned around and then realized that she seemed a little nervous just now. Although she was in a bad mood, in order not to let others see it, Shen Yanxin still pretended to be happy and took the milk tea from Mu Yingying's hand: "Wow! Is this strawberry coconut? You really remember my preferences. I love you the most."
Shen Yanxin inserted a straw into her milk tea, took a big sip, then stroked her cheek with one hand with satisfaction, and smiled with her eyes narrowed, "Delicious!"
"...Really? Okay...alright."
Mu Yingying's eyelids twitched incessantly.
Although I don't know what happened, Shen Yanxin is definitely hiding something from me, right?
To avoid arousing suspicion, she even resorted to such an exaggerated performance; it must have been quite a challenge for her...
But since Shen Yanxin had already kept it a secret from her, Mu Yingying felt it would be somewhat impolite to pry and ask further.
Oh well, let her be.
Mu Yingying held the straw at an angle, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"So...they really are a couple? I don't think so, right? If they are, why don't they go public? But...can people who aren't a couple be this affectionate? Giving someone a princess carry here is already considered showing affection, isn't it? I just don't think Xia Che would do something like keeping a relationship secret..."
"Given how badly Jiang is doing, and how good Xia Che is to her, it's hard to imagine what Xia Che would want from her... Could it really be love?"
"This is so complicated... I can't figure it out at all. What exactly is their relationship?"
Shen Yanxin's mind was racing with chaotic thoughts, a complete mess.
In fact, Shen Yanxin had fantasized countless times about what would happen if she didn't win Xia Che's heart and Xia Che ended up with someone else.
Every time Shen Yanxin imagines this scene, her heart aches so much that she can hardly breathe, and sometimes she even cries.
She was the kind of person who would imagine countless worst possible endings in her mind. For Shen Yanxin, as long as she imagined the ending to be bad enough, even if she couldn't actually achieve it in the end, at least she would be mentally prepared.
This approach can be applied to all aspects of life, including romantic relationships.
If you prepare for the worst, then even if things really do turn out badly, it will be easier to accept them if you are mentally prepared.
But just now, when she witnessed the intimacy between Xia Che and Jiang Yu, Shen Yanxin found that she was not as sad and upset as she had imagined countless times before.
Her entire mind seemed to freeze.
Thoughts solidified into cement. In that instant, Shen Yanxin's mind was blank, yet it wasn't calmness; it was more like something within her had secretly died.
His heartbeat quickened uncontrollably, and an unbearable palpitation surged up. Shen Yanxin even found that he couldn't move a single finger.
My heart is pounding.
From Shen Yanxin's perspective, however, she could clearly see that her fingers, which she clearly couldn't move, were trembling slightly. She tried hard to lift her fingers, a kind of obsessive stubbornness, but the harder she tried, the less she could do it.
Unbeknownst to her, Shen Yanxin suddenly felt a coolness on her cheek. She looked up and, with the help of the reflection from the silver-white plastic decorations on the podium in front of her, saw two lines of clear tears slowly flowing down her cheeks.
"Is everything really as I thought...?"
Shen Yanxin pursed her lips. Even though cheerful music was playing in her ears and the students were having an enthusiastic discussion, people's moods are affected by their surroundings. Despite the cheerful atmosphere, Shen Yanxin was so sad that she couldn't speak.
Mu Yingying seemed to have figured something out as well, after all, she was the only one who could clearly understand her own thoughts.
"Be careful, be careful! Do you think our school can win the championship this time? It would be too embarrassing if we, as the organizers, didn't win the championship, wouldn't it?"
"Watch out! Look, there are so many handsome guys from Linchuan Middle School next door!"
"By the way, did you catch up on yesterday's show? It seems like it's almost at its finale. I'm starting to worry. What am I going to eat with my meals after it ends?"
Mu Yingying kept trying to find topics to talk about, attempting to wash away her best friend's unhappiness.
She understands Shen Yanxin and can sense his unhappiness.
But there are some things Mu Yingying cannot say outright.
She could sense it, but didn't know how to comfort her.
Perhaps, diverting Shen Yanxin's attention would be a good solution?
"Yingying".
Suddenly, Shen Yanxin let out a long sigh, a serene smile on his face.
"Here I am."
Mu Yingying nodded, looking at her best friend who had been with her day and night for so many years, sitting next to her. For no reason, she suddenly felt a little nervous.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine."
Shen Yanxin smiled faintly.
Even if you see something with your own eyes, it may not be the truth.
