Bai Xiyue just smiled and put a piece of beef in Qiao Song's bowl.
"I never gave him any food. Are you happy?"
She had never picked up food for Chu Lan, but they had eaten the same thing.
"Just happy."
"You and he didn't show up all afternoon, and I thought we were out."
Qiao Song had a look of disappointment on his face. He looked a little pitiful.
"Stop acting in front of me. I'd trust you more if you let Da Qiao do it."
Bai Xiyue rolled her eyes and continued eating her ramen.
This aggrieved look really doesn't suit Xiao Qiao, it seems like she's not serious at all.
"Big Qiao? Am I Little Qiao?"
"Yes, it's easy to distinguish and sounds good, right?"
Qiao Song actually had a sincere smile on his face.
This is the first person to see him as separate from the main personality, and the only one who knows his secret.
Although saying this may sound a bit contradictory, because this is a causal relationship, after all, only Bai Xiyue knows it, so Bai Xiyue is the first person to distinguish them.
But that's not all he wanted to express.
She did not regard this secondary personality as something that should not exist or that existed only dependent on the main personality. She knew that they were Qiao Song, and she also knew that he was just him.
It's a very relaxing feeling. You don't have to pretend or worry about a lot of things.
When it came time to pay, it was Qiao Song who paid.
When Bai Xiyue was about to give him the meal money, he refused.
"How can you ask girls to pay when you are courting them?"
Qiao Song waved his hand and took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in Bai Xiyue's hand.
“Strawberry flavor.”
Like her, it's both sour and sweet, but when you taste it, it's mostly sweet.
"I didn't realize you carried a lollipop with you."
"He brought it."
Qiao Song immediately put the blame on his own personality, while Bai Xiyue looked like she saw through it but didn't say anything.
Looking at Qiao Song's natural movements in taking the candy, whether Big Qiao likes it or not is another matter, but Little Qiao definitely likes it.
"It's almost time to go back to class."
"Well, let's go."
Bai Xiyue hailed a taxi and went to school with Qiao Song.
The lights in the classroom were on. Chu Lan didn't have dinner and went to school very early.
He sat in his seat, staring at a book in a daze. When Shen Wan came, he saw that he looked a little lonely.
"What's wrong, Chu Lan? You don't look very happy."
"There is a sequel to the incident I saw last time."
"Which website did you tell me about this news with such a follow-up?"
"It's a post, but my phone was taken away by my mom, so I can't share it with you."
Chu Lan continued talking without changing his expression. Shen Wan sat down and put on an expression of listening attentively.
"Go ahead, I'm listening, what did that boy do again?"
Chu Lan briefly described the process of what happened today.
"This girl...actually, she was a little interested in that boy, otherwise why would they stay together for an entire afternoon? And the girl saved that boy. I guess it's hard to explain this, but it's reasonable to reject the confession, after all, that boy has a criminal record."
"So you also think that she actually still has some feelings for that boy?"
Chu Lan grasped this point in Shen Wan's words, and his eyes lit up slightly.
“I think there is.”
Shen Wan thought for a while and said, judging from the development of the story before, there must be some lingering feelings.
"Then as long as you persist, you will succeed, right?"
"That's right...but why are you so happy, Chu Lan?"
Shen Wan looked puzzled.
"Yes?"
Chu Lan had a calm expression and sat up straight.
The atmosphere between them in the afternoon was so good, so she must have some feelings for him.
"Not necessarily..."
Shen Wan hesitated for a moment, and Chu Lan was immediately worried again.
"Maybe what?"
"Didn't you say before that there was someone else pursuing that girl?"
"Yes, that girl is very good."
"The situation is different. If there is someone who has never hurt her and cares for her, maybe it will work. And if she is so outstanding, she should be surrounded by outstanding people."
Chu Lan felt that his mood, which had just been encouraged, immediately returned to its low point.
“But…”
Chu Lan looked at Shen Wan with a death stare.
Dear classmate, could you please not be so tortuous in your speech?
"According to the general development routine of the story, the heroine usually can't let go of the hero, and the caring second male lead is always a backup. But the reality is probably not so bloody. Well, in the end it depends on what the heroine thinks. If the hero wants to be moved, he should be sincere."
As soon as Shen Wan finished speaking, the bell for the evening self-study class rang.
Chu Lan looked behind him. The crowd blocked his view and he could only see a part of Bai Xiyue's sleeve.
What does she think?
What could Bai Xiyue think? The more sad Chu Lan was, the happier she felt.
Shen Wan is simply her little cutie, always able to help Chu Lan so accurately and without error.
In fact, what Shen Wan said was right. If it was the original owner standing here, he would probably still be attracted to Chu Lan like a moth to a flame.
But if the original owner was here, he probably wouldn't have attracted Chu Lan's attention.
Bai Xiyue's words were just a rather cold statement. That unfortunate girl covered in thorns had died forever on that winter night.
Even the second male lead that Shen Wan mentioned is not a good person.
During the break, Qiao Song came over and asked Bai Xiyue to go clubbing in the evening.
What surprised Bai Xiyue was that it was Da Qiao who said this.
Seeing Bai Xiyue's strange look, Qiao Song pushed his glasses and blushed slightly.
This idea was of course proposed by the secondary personality, who said that if there was no opportunity, one had to create opportunities to actively output. The secondary personality originally wanted to say it by himself, but was stopped by Qiao Song.
He didn't want Bai Xiyue's gaze to only stay on his other self.
He also wanted Bai Xiyue to pay more attention to him.
He likes things just as much as his secondary personality, and is even more serious about them.
It's just...it's just that his personality might not be what girls like.
So Qiao Song wanted to try to change a little and let Bai Xiyue get to know a different side of herself.
The voice in his heart was sneering, but Qiao Song didn't care and stared at Bai Xiyue.
"OK."
Bai Xiyue readily agreed, but it was just a matter of time for Chu Lan.
After the evening self-study class, Chu Lan was still ready to send Bai Xiyue home, but Bai Xiyue shook her head and refused.
"You don't have to be so polite."
Chu Lan wanted to explain, but then he heard Bai Xiyue's next words.
"If that person sees me again and goes crazy, I won't be able to explain it clearly."
Bai Xiyue spread her hands, put her books away, and walked out of the classroom.
Chu Lan stood there in silence and was patted on the shoulder by Shen Wan.
"Didn't you say you were going to send Xiyue back? Why are you standing here like an idiot?"
"She was worried about her family seeing it."
Chu Lan felt distressed when he thought about the situation at Bai Xiyue's home.
"That's easy. Follow me."
Shen Wan waved and trotted out to catch up with Bai Xiyue.
"Xiyue, I'm going home with you."
"Yeah, okay."
Bai Xiyue lived not too far from the school, so Shen Wan had to take the same road she took to go home.
"Chu Lan, let's go together."
Shen Wan waved and gave Chu Lan a look.
She is such a clever girl. If three of them walk together, she won't think anything is a big deal even if they are seen.
When they were walking side by side, Shen Wan deliberately walked in the innermost part, letting Chu Lan and Bai Xiyue stand together. It can be said that he spared no effort to go further and further on the road of assisting.
Bai Xiyue communicated with Chu Lanling the whole time, and talked and laughed with Shen Wan.
Shen Wan was attracted by Bai Xiyue's topic and forgot about Chu Lan.
Chu Lan didn't feel awkward and walked quietly beside Bai Xiyue, even though he didn't say a word all the way.
Bai Xiyue arrived home, waved to Shen Wan and Chu Lan, and turned into the road leading to her home.
Under the street light, she saw Wei Changxi with some surprise.
Although we haven't seen each other for only a few days, Wei Changxi seems to have changed a lot.
He was not wearing a school uniform, his hair seemed to have grown longer, and he looked a little more mature.
"Why are you here?"
Bai Xiyue greeted him and asked for the reason.
"I have passed the training and plan to join the club for formal training and running-in. Before I leave, I want to come and see you."
You can't just play in a professional game. Before the assessment, Wei Changxi trained for a long time, and the captain who took a liking to him helped him a lot.
Originally, Wei Changxi could only be a backup. After all, the team had already established a tacit understanding and had its own clear position. Unless there were some special circumstances or he was even more outstanding, it would be difficult for him to get to the top.
But the captain switched to a new club and needed to form a new team. The club was in need of people right now, and he went at the right time. If he had gone a step earlier or later, it might not have worked.
The captain said that he came at the right time, and only he knew who helped him seize this opportunity.
He looked at Bai Xiyue in the light of the lamp. She still looked the same as when they separated, but now she was even better. She was beautiful, confident, and fascinating.
He thought that when he saw Bai Xiyue again, he would feel more resentment than happiness. After all, every time he thought of Bai Xiyue, he wanted to take out her heart and see it, and he also wanted to hug her and ask her to come back. But when he actually saw her, it was not like that.
Only a hopeful relationship can cheer people up and pursue it, but Wei Changxi knew that there was no possibility between them. That was what Bai Xiyue's eyes told her.
He specially dressed himself up today to make himself look good. He wanted to stand in front of Bai Xiyue and tell her in a very cool manner that he was going to leave and that he was living a good life now.
But all his psychological preparations collapsed when he saw this person. Wei Changxi didn't know how he said those words, and his heart was filled with sadness.
"Are you not going to school anymore?"
“I can’t study now.”
It was not as easy as he thought to learn and pick up those things. It was almost suffocating. Even if he tried his best, it seemed that he could not fully understand those difficult problems.
A road he liked was placed in front of him, and he chose to take it without hesitation, even though he knew it was not an easy road.
"You asked me if I thought about the future, and I am now moving towards my future."
"Then I wish you a safe journey."
Bai Xiyue's shadow was elongated by the light, and her voice was calm, as if they had never had any love-hate relationship before.
"Before you go, can I have one last hug?"
Wei Changxi looked at Bai Xiyue, his voice even carrying some pleading tone.
"Wait until you find someone who deserves you, then hug her."
"I always believe in your ability, Wei Changxi. Just like I said to you that day, I wish you a bright future."
I wish you a bright future and we are even.
Wei Changxi didn't get the hug he wanted and watched Bai Xiyue walk away.
It seemed as if there was a hole in my heart, and the winter night wind was blowing in, making me extremely cold.
Bai Xiyue knew that Wei Changxi just wanted encouragement and didn't mean much.
But Bai Xiyue couldn't give him this hug. If he had given it to him, then for Wei Changxi, everything would seem to have come to a perfect end.
This won't do. She will let this regret remain in Wei Changxi's heart, like a comma. She wants Wei Changxi to remember it forever until he finds someone he can be serious with, and then put an end to it.
That is perfection.
But before that, she wanted Wei Changxi to remember her and what she said.
If you don't like someone, don't agree to her easily. If you really like someone, you must tell her in time.
Wei Changxi stayed downstairs at Bai Xiyue's house until his hands and feet were cold and numb. It was only when his cell phone rang that he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.
His mother asked him when he would be home. It was already very late. Wei Changxi said in a hoarse voice that he would be home soon. He glanced in the direction Bai Xiyue left, turned around and left slowly.
In this ambiguous relationship, it seemed that he was the only one who was obsessed, happy, and sad.
It seemed that only he himself knew what he had gained and what he had lost.
When Bai Xiyue opened the door, the lights in the house were off.
She turned on the lights, and the house was still in the same mess as before, with no one having cleaned it up.
She looked around and found that the aunt was not at home.
She didn't care where the person went. She closed the door, planned to take a shower, change her clothes, and wait for Qiao Song's invitation.
Qiao Song couldn't go out so quickly. He had to make his parents think that he was asleep, then lock the door and go out through the window, so he had to wait for a while.
As soon as she entered the bathroom, the system told her that something had happened to Chu Lan.
Bai Xiyue was startled and returned to her room to listen to the broadcast.
Chu Lan had just arrived home and changed his shoes when he saw his parents sitting on the sofa with his cell phone on the coffee table.
Chu Lan was slightly startled, but thinking that he probably didn't leave any evidence behind, he still looked calm.
"Come here."
Chu Lan walked over and heard his father's angry shout.
"Kneel down before me, you unfilial son."
Chu Lan did not kneel, but just looked straight at his father.
"You've grown too independent, haven't you? You don't even listen to what I say?"
"I just want to know the reason, what did I do wrong?"
Chu Lan's body was tense, and he was somewhat fed up with this kind of family education.
Every time when he did something wrong or something didn't go their way, they never spoke directly to the point, but just let him think about it himself, either punishing him by standing or kneeling. After Chu Lan grew up, he was rarely punished.
Chu Lan suddenly remembered what Bai Xiyue said before, that he was self-righteous and always thought he understood others very well. It seemed that his parents were the same.
"Tell me what you did wrong? Where did you get this photo?"
The mobile phone on the table was opened, and the photo that popped up was undoubtedly the one he deleted.
Chu Lan's expression changed and he took the phone from me.
When Chu's father saw his actions, he became even angrier and scolded him a lot.
When he came back yesterday, his wife told him about this incident and said that he might have deleted something. He then used some photo recovery tool, and when he saw this photo, he was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.
"Is being in a relationship something you should do now? If you want to have a relationship, go to college. I promise I won't stop you. You are in your third year of high school now. Have you ever thought about what will happen if you don't do well in the exam? If you fail miserably in life, what will others say about us and how will they look at us?"
Chu Lan didn't hear any of those words, he just held the phone in his hand.
The incessant chatter in his ears made him very tired, and he just wanted to go back to that afternoon, feeling relaxed and happy without any burden.
But he could only face it all. He held the phone and suddenly sneered.
"Have you said enough?"
Chu Lan looked directly into his father's eyes without much emotion on his face.
"This is my business. I have my own plans."
"You have plans? What do you know? Do you think you are so great just because you read a few books?"
"So what do you want?"
"Who is this girl? Is she from the same school as you? Which class is she in? If we are in the same class, switch classes with her immediately."
"Don't be like that. He's in Zhiyuan's class. Where would you like him to be transferred to?"
Mother Chu tugged at her husband's sleeve, signaling him not to be too impulsive.
"Don't be so angry. Is that girl the one who ranked first in your class last time? Hey, Mr. Chu, sit down. Why are you so fierce, son?"
Chu's mother originally thought that her son had gone too far, but she didn't want to see the father and son in such a scene, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Son, just listen to me and your father. Don't get involved with this girl in the future. You are still young now. You can start dating after you finish the college entrance examination."
Chu Lan remained silent. In fact, he didn't even have the confidence that he could hug that person again.
Bai Xiyue felt a little tired watching this family drama, so she asked the system to stop broadcasting it to her and washed her face with water.
In fact, this is a very normal family in China, but it is a bit too extreme. I heard that if a child falls in love early, there will be chaos.
She was confident that Chu Lan could withstand the pressure of his family for her. It was not that she praised Chu Lan so much, nor that she praised the ambiguous feelings they had before, but that Chu Lan had feelings for her, she saved Chu Lan, and she made Chu Lan feel happy in life.
Chu Lan's family puts a lot of pressure on him. It is this suffocating pressure that makes Chu Lan feel how precious the time of relaxation and happiness is.
But when he experienced life and death, the doubts, grudges and various considerations in his heart had disappeared.
He would no longer wonder whether they should be entangled, nor would there be a clear time point to separate.
Feelings are such a strange thing. In the face of life and death, many things will disappear.
Bai Xiyue looked at herself in the mirror with cold eyes and chuckled.
The more she means to him, the more pain he will feel.
Just as Bai Xiyue expected, Chu Lan had a quarrel with his parents.
In fact, it was just his father's one-sided yelling. Chu Lan controlled his emotions from beginning to end and just expressed his thoughts clearly.
No changing classes, no transferring schools, no letting go.
In fact, this is too rigid, and being too rigid will only make the backlash from your parents more severe.
His mother whispered to him to stop talking back, but Chu Lan stood very straight and insisted on his own ideas. He knew that being tactful would make the situation better, but he didn't want to pretend.
Looking at his father's angry and frustrated face, Chu Lan actually felt a little bit of pleasure in his heart.
He always tells him what he should and should not do in an authoritative manner, but he thinks he has his own judgment.
If we don't catch it this time, we may never catch it again.
He knew that Bai Xiyue didn't like him, but it didn't matter. As long as she still had some feelings for him, there was still a possibility that they could continue. But if they broke up like this, he would have no chance to get closer to her, and maybe he would never have the chance again.
Chu's mother didn't want to make things hopeless, so she asked Chu Lan to go back to his room. She then pulled her husband into the bedroom and started talking.
Chu Lan looked at the photo on his phone and slowly calmed down.
He washed up as usual, and his mother brought in a glass of milk and asked him to drink it and go to sleep.
My mother still means the same thing, and we can talk about friends after the college entrance examination.
Her thoughts are always more delicate than her husband's. She thinks that the child may be in a rebellious period now, and the more unpleasant the words are, the more severe the backlash may be. They may not have had deep feelings for each other originally, but after being punished, their love for each other appears to be deep and loyal.
The girl in the photo is indeed pretty and good at studying. She is actually very satisfied with her performance.
Of course it would be better if we could make progress together.
Chu Lan didn't expect that his mother would say these words to him so gently.
He originally thought that all he would get was scolding, like in the past.
The way his mother looked at him was like looking at an ignorant child, which was not what he wanted after all.
But Chu Lan unexpectedly wanted to confess, even if he got no response.
She doesn't like me, Chu Lan said.
Mother Chu widened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it.
"How could anyone dislike my son!"
She seemed surprised by this, but in fact she was not upset.
It was because of the expression on Chu Lan's face. She had never seen her child so fragile. It was like the moonlight shining on a dusty wall, with a sense of fragility and fragility.
Chu Lan took a sip of the warm milk, and the taste in his mouth became a little bitter.
He didn't dare and couldn't tell her everything, he could only say, she didn't like me.
After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.
"Go to sleep. Apologize to your father tomorrow. As for that girl...she doesn't like you. Forget it. You will meet many more people like her in the future."
Chu Lan didn't respond, as if he had heard it.
But did they really listen? How is that possible?
Chu Lan finished his milk and turned off the light.
He said that he wanted to stay away from her.
The person Chu Lan was worried about had already left the house. Bai Xiyue met up with Qiao Song not far from home and asked Qiao Song to take her to her destination.
Qiao Song was not wearing glasses and was smiling brightly in the winter night.
The reason for the invitation was, of course, to invite Bai Xiyue to visit his world.
His world has nothing to do with the main character.
The noise in the bar was a bit noisy, and the electronic music penetrated into the ears, making people unable to help but twist to the beat.
"Have you been here before?"
Qiao Song felt that Bai Xiyue might have been here before. After all, she was a well-known bad boy at that time, but he couldn't be 100% sure.
"Of course."
Bai Xiyue smiled and took off her cotton padded jacket in the heating.
She was not wearing any makeup, and looked completely different from the other visitors; she seemed clean and pretty, but when she smiled, she inexplicably exuded a kind of evil and indescribable charm.
Qiao Song was impressed by her.
People who knew each other came over to greet Qiao Song, most of them were young boys and girls full of youth. When some of them saw Bai Xiyue, their eyes widened.
"Beautiful flowers have owners, so don't look at them carelessly."
It is immoral to peek at flowers through the wall.
Bai Xiyue didn't refute and put her hand on Qiao Song's arm.
Qiao Song felt a little tipsy. He seemed drunk even before he started drinking.
The author has something to say: I threw it into the manuscript box and forgot to set the time [crying]
The world is ending
To reply, I didn't mean to drag it out on purpose, I just wanted to finish the story. It may seem a bit dragged out, but I'm not writing the kind of stereotypical scumbag stories. Although this may not produce good results, I still have to finish it.
