"You finally agreed..."
Xia Yuxin's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Despite wanting something so badly, Xia Yuxin felt a sense of emptiness after her plan finally succeeded.
There is a kind of disappointment that cannot be described.
"Am I really doing the right thing?"
Xia Yuxin had no answer. She sat on the chair with its soft silk cushions, which gave her a solid feeling, but at this moment she felt as if she were standing on empty air, with an abyss below her feet.
There was no resolution.
She wasn't sure whether this feeling of emptiness was good or bad.
Xia Yuxin only knew that she had done her best for her brother.
Whether the consequences will be good or bad, and whether what I did was the right thing to do...
Xia Yuxin knew nothing about it.
In an instant, she was overwhelmed with emotions: longing for Xia Che, the deception of her childhood lie, guilt towards Tang Yanyan, and a hint of wariness that arose upon learning of Qing Ning's appearance...
A complex mix of emotions welled up in Xia Yuxin's heart, forming a complex and indescribable blend of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty feelings.
She sat there in the chair, staring at the fried egg on the plate in front of her, which was gradually going from scalding hot to completely cold, but for some reason she lost her appetite.
Just watch quietly.
I've been watching.
...
Jiang City, Weiyang Middle School.
The sky, which has been overcast for so long, still holds your smile.
For the students of Weiyang High School who have just finished a large-scale event like the university league, the start of a new school day means it's time to bring their scattered minds back together.
Therefore, even though the weather was nice today, it couldn't dispel the gloom in the students' hearts.
"Tsk tsk... You can see the overwhelming gloom from this far away, how much resentment must there be?"
Standing by the snack stall at the corner of the school gate, Xia Che looked at the Weiyang Gate in front of him. There seemed to be a thick cloud of silver-gray haze directly above him. He raised his eyebrows.
As expected...
For students, the intensity of their resentment was no less than that of a vengeful ghost.
"It's truly magnificent..."
Xia Che sighed.
If there really are psychics in this world, and not someone like Chu Yuying who's a fraud, then purifying this thick mass of resentment would probably require several psychic masters, right?
He leaned lazily against the telephone pole, his dark eyes partially obscured by his yellow, side-swept bangs, giving him a somewhat melancholic air reminiscent of an old-fashioned, non-mainstream style.
What was fashionable in the past seems so out of place in modern times. It was trendy back then, but nowadays, people would only avoid it and find it disgusting.
But as the students of Weiyang School, who were coming from all directions to go to school, passed by, not one of them dared to look at Xia Che for more than a second.
Dao Ge's name is deeply ingrained in the hearts of everyone in Weiyang.
In some ways, Xia Che's words were more effective than what the teacher said.
At school, Xia Che can do anything that teachers can do, and he can also do things that teachers can't do.
Execution first, notification later: Imperial envoy.
This is Brother Dao!
"Hurry up, hurry up... How dare you still stop here and look? That's Brother Dao! Are you crazy?"
"That's strange. Dao-ge has been going to school so diligently lately. I haven't seen him at school before. Could the rumors be true? Is he really with Shen Yanxin?"
"Shh...say less. At a time like this, you're still wondering about this kind of thing? Isn't it obvious?"
Several students whispered among themselves, occasionally glancing up briefly before quickly looking away, afraid that Xia Che would discover they were spying.
Although there have been constant rumors about Shen Yanxin and Xia Che since recently, most people believe that their relationship is already a done deal.
—Otherwise, given Shen Yanxin's status at school, if it weren't true, why would she let the rumors spread and never stand up to refute them?
This silent tacit agreement is powerful evidence.
Some students who were originally shipping Li Junyang and Shen Yanxin as a perfect couple decisively abandoned Li Junyang upon seeing this and instead joined the new pairing of the blond guy and the goddess.
While it might seem a bit too bizarre for a blond guy to win the heart of a beautiful woman, it would actually garner a lot of approval if the story were set in a school setting.
Students living in the ivory tower lead a dull and monotonous life. They are already tired of seeing perfect couples who excel in both character and academics. They would rather see something new and exciting than this uninteresting thing.
Xia Che, on the other hand, is precisely the representative of resistance.
He was not a good student. As a school bully, he rarely followed the rules that bound ordinary students.
People always admire those who can easily do things they can't. Xia Che, who never followed school rules and regulations, was worshipped by them in an almost pathological way.
Moreover, places like schools are precisely where violence is most encouraged, and Xia Che, with his large enough fists, perfectly fits that description.
—In the entire school, whose fist is bigger than Xia Che's?
Without a doubt, Xia Che is the true overlord.
"Then... what about Li Junyang? Weren't there a lot of rumors that he was pursuing Shen Yanxin? And the two of them were indeed very close before, I thought they would get together."
"Tch, don't mention him. Didn't you see the forum? Our Weiyang almost lost the championship in this college league because of him! This guy has no sportsmanship at all. He just quit the game without warning. I heard the teacher in charge of the club called him more than a hundred times, but he didn't answer a single one. The teacher was furious and threatened to report him to the school and have him punished. Does such an irresponsible guy deserve Shen Yanxin?"
"Ah... I thought he withdrew from the competition because he encountered some trouble, but it turns out he just didn't want to come?"
"That's right. It's said that after the competition, students from the neighboring Linchuan Middle School saw him partying in a bar. He simply didn't want to play. If he didn't want to play, he should have said so earlier. Why did he sign up in the first place? He made it all the way to the finals, and then he just withdrew to support Linchuan Middle School, right? What an irresponsible guy."
The students drifted further and further away from each other as they talked. Not long ago they were talking about Xia Che, but in the blink of an eye they were talking about Li Junyang.
Xia Che had excellent hearing and had overheard their conversation long ago.
The rumors and gossip surrounding Shen Yanxin...
Xia Che didn't care.
Anyway, these rumors had been around for a while, and after a while, he got too lazy to clarify anything, because no one would believe them anyway.
Trying to clarify a scandal is as foolish as trying to find a lost sword by marking the boat.
