With a loud bang.
A thunderclap boomed across the sky.
Large raindrops pelted down.
Lin Xiao was taken aback.
ah???
He asked instinctively, "What?"
Chu Yingying was also stunned.
She's already thrown herself into his arms, how can he still pretend to be stupid?
She's already lowered herself so much, why is he still being evasive and avoiding the issue?
She is Chu Yingying!
Chu Yingying, the aloof and beautiful campus belle of Jiangnan University!
She had never experienced such cold treatment and humiliation in her entire life!
The sudden sense of loss felt like a cold rain pouring down on her heart.
It seeps into the bones and blood.
It hasn't dried for years.
Rainwater soaked Chu Yingying's face, and raindrops clung to her eyelashes, making it impossible to tell whether they were rain or tears.
Chu Yingying gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "I was being presumptuous! I'm sorry, Junior Lin."
His voice was hoarse and low, whether from the cold or sadness, it was hard to tell.
After saying that, Chu Yingying turned around and prepared to leave.
He doesn't love her.
He rejected her.
He didn't like her.
The excitement, confidence, and certainty she displayed when she arrived are now replaced by a laughable, pathetic, and lamentable image.
Oh.
Is this retribution?
She used to be so decisive and efficient when rejecting others, but now she was just as hurt, pained, and embarrassed by Lin Xiao's rejection!
It turns out that being rejected by someone you like is so painful and so helpless!
Ugh, mushrooms...
Seeing Chu Yingying's heartbroken and dejected expression, Lin Xiao's heart softened.
He took out his umbrella and opened it wide.
Take a few quick steps and hold the umbrella over Chu Yingying's head.
"Senior, it's raining so hard, why don't we go to the pavilion to take shelter from the rain?"
Chu Yingying's unsteady steps faltered.
I looked up at the umbrella above my head.
My heart warmed.
He still cares about her.
I was afraid she would get wet in the rain.
Well... okay, let's give him another chance to perform.
The wind was very strong at that moment, making it difficult for people to stand steadily.
The rain was even heavier, heavier than the rain on the day Yiping went back to the Lu family to get money and was whipped.
Perhaps it was divine intervention, but Chu Yingying felt she should be brave for love this once.
So she abandoned all restraint and took the opportunity to link arms with Lin Xiao's strong arm.
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.
But with the wind and rain raging right now, it's not the time to worry about such trivial matters.
He let Chu Yingying take his arm, and the two of them ran together into the octagonal pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
Chu Yingying took out a tissue from her handbag and wiped her face and neck.
Seeing that Lin Xiao's handsome face was also wet, she took out a few fragrant floral tissues and wiped the rain off him.
Lin Xiao's body stiffened.
My instinct was to dodge.
He's not a casual man.
Chu Yingying's hand was empty, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
She didn't press him further, but instead gave Lin Xiao the tissue and told him to wipe himself.
Lin Xiao took the tissue, thanked him, and carefully wiped his face.
The two sat down at the stone table.
Outside the pavilion, the rain poured down, the sound of rain pattering loudly.
The pavilion was quiet and still; no one spoke a word to each other.
Chu Yingying looked at Lin Xiao, who was so close to her, and her beautiful eyes once again showed the disappointment and pain of being rejected.
More often than not, people feel lost and helpless.
This was the first time Chu Yingying had pursued a man so earnestly, yet she was rejected so thoroughly.
She didn't know what else she could do.
Perhaps she should have taken a more roundabout approach, a more indirect method, instead of being so direct.
I really want to take back what I said today.
She shouldn't be here at all.
I feel so powerless.
I feel like going crazy.
But she couldn't.
She at least can't go crazy in front of a man who rejects her.
She had to endure it.
She can still endure it.
Chu Yingying squeezed her fingers tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
He remained silent for a long while.
Chu Yingying finally couldn't help but speak softly:
"Junior, isn't the script we discussed for the second time very similar to what we're doing right now?"
She was referring to the scene where the two of them went into a pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
The only difference was that in the erotic script that night, the assassin Lin Xuxing embraced Xie Maimai, the daughter of the Xie family.
In reality, Lin Xiao, a junior student who is a professional "simp," rejected Chu Yingying, the school beauty.
He still disliked her in the end.
I hate her.
Chu Yingying thought.
As a result, she was overwhelmed by the negative emotions of not being loved, and she even felt that she was not worthy of being loved.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao was taken aback.
He read those scripts with a somewhat task-oriented mindset.
Despite being fully engaged and expressive while reading.
But it was all for business.
He'll stop once he's finished reading.
I never dwell on those details.
So at this moment, he searched his mind and finally remembered the scene Chu Yingying had described.
He nodded slightly.
"Yes. However, business is business, and reality is reality; they are ultimately different."
Chu Yingying's eyes lit up as if a switch had been flipped.
She looked down and skillfully operated the phone.
Then, looking at Lin Xiao, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said slowly:
"Now, Lin, tell me, is business the same as reality?"
Lin Xiao was taken aback.
I checked my phone and saw that I had received a notification.
He had reserved a time between 1 and 2 pm for them, but they could not speak to each other.
The 100,000 yuan has been received.
Lin Xiao stayed in Bengbu.
He certainly wouldn't turn down money.
Yesterday I ordered a private chef service for my aunt, which cost 20,000 yuan.
Tomorrow is October, and it's time to pay Xiao He's salary again. My aunt's hospital bills also need to be paid again...
