"The tears under the rouge face ask you when you can return home. My tears fall silently. The years of rouge removal have taken away the flawlessness of those years. Your heart is still there, floating~"

Xia Ruoming, who had a good rest, felt refreshed after the exam. She didn't feel tired at all. She rode her road bike home, humming a song.

Xu Fengwu was already in a bad mood because of Xia Ruoming's rejection. The exam in the afternoon became even worse, making him even more depressed. He felt like he was going to have a nervous breakdown after a whole day. Just when he was about to ask Xia Ruoming to take his bag, he suddenly remembered again that beautiful figure who seemed to have hurriedly run out the door after the exam.

There was no place for Xia Ruoming in the empty seat. No one would wait for her there.

After secretly wiping the little pearls that were about to drip, Xu Fengwu picked up his schoolbag and left the classroom.

I don’t know why, although she is a cool and aloof girl, her back view in the sunset looks so lonely and desolate.

Along the way were memories of her and Xia Ruoming.

"Feng Wu, your bag is too heavy. No wonder you sprained your ankle. Let me help you carry it back."

"You want to eat the strawberry cake from that pastry shop? Okay, I'll help you queue up."

"Okay, then I will try my best to get into the same high school as you. You have to wait for me, Feng Wu!"

"I got you the ticket for Jay's Chengdu concert. Didn't you say you wanted to go?"

"Today is your birthday. I saved up to buy this rose gold necklace from Tiffany. It's not very expensive, but I hope you like it."

"This is a coupon for the Western buffet restaurant. It also comes with a free champagne buffet coupon. Fengwu, you've always wanted to go, right? I'll give it to you."

"I grew this hyacinth myself. It may not be as beautiful as the flowers they gave you. I hope you don't mind it, Fengwu."

"Why? Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

"Goodbye, Xu Fengwu. No, let's never see each other again..."

"The north wind has stopped, and my story with her has ended. White moonlight is just white moonlight after all..."

The more she thought about the past, the sadder she became. She clearly couldn't ignore these memories, so why could she let them go and get rid of them so easily?

Xu Fengwu really felt tired all over. The mental exhaustion brought by the self-harm literature unique to youth was simply irresistible.

No matter how much her heart aches, she can ignore it, but the feeling of being unable to tell anyone about the grievance and being alone is not something that everyone can endure.

Xia Ruoming is used to being alone. She handles things on her own and never needs help from others. When she gets hurt, she will quietly lick her wounds in a corner.

But Xu Fengwu was different. Xia Ruoming had protected her like a little princess since five years ago. No matter what Xu Fengwu asked for, Xia Ruoming would solve everything for her. Nothing could make her feel the slightest bit aggrieved - that's right, they didn't solve it together, but Xia Ruoming would solve it silently by herself and then tell her.

If Xia Ruoming were still alive, how could she make herself so sad?

Why?

Just because we can't be lovers, do you have to distance yourself from me like this? We can't even be friends anymore.

You've gone too far! Xia Ruoming!

After returning to Jinxiang Mingyuan and entering the house, Xu Fengwu could no longer hold back her tears. Tears fell down her face and her vision was already blurred.

…

On the other side, Xia Ruoming was delivering the test paper to Chu Suhe in the hospital. The doctor said that Chu Suhe would be able to attend classes normally tomorrow as long as she paid attention to her diet and took medicine on time during this period.

"Here, Class Monitor Chu, I brought you your test paper." Xia Ruoming put down her schoolbag and took out a few test papers. However, they were not Chu Suhe's blank test papers, but Xia Ruoming's own. There were also many problem-solving methods written by Xia Ruoming during the exam.

"Thank you." Chu Suhe's voice was still very soft, but she seemed no longer as shy as when she first met Xia Ruoming.

"If...if...if...classmate Ruoming...then, that..."

It was still very embarrassing to call her that without her surname. In Chu Suhe's world, only very close people would call each other by their names, and she and Xia Ruoming were not that kind of relationship at all, they didn't even seem to be friends.

"What's wrong? Class Leader Chu." Xia Ruoming was already packing up and getting ready to leave. It wasn't that she didn't want to accompany Chu Suhe, but she still had things to do later.

"This test paper doesn't look like it's mine. Maybe Ruoming took the wrong one." Chu Suhe continued to speak timidly. She was afraid that Xia Ruoming had given her her test paper. It would be terrible if she found out after she went back.

"Oh, that. I accidentally lost your test paper, Captain Chu. It just so happens that I would like to ask Captain Chu to do me a favor. Can you help me check if there are any problems with my test answers? This way, the money Captain Chu owes me will be reduced by two hundred. How about that?" In fact, the test paper was in Xia Ruoming's bag. She gave her her own test paper on purpose. Anyway, the questions would be explained after the results came out tomorrow. If she gave the blank test paper to Chu Suhe, she might stay up late and force herself to take the test. It would be better to give her her own test paper and let her study it. It would also give her a reason to ask her to pay less money.

"Money, no need for money, I will help you, Ruoming."

"Hey, if you don't accept the deal, I can only compensate you for the test paper. What should I do?" Xia Ruoming deliberately showed an embarrassed expression, "The value of the deal is limited, but your test paper is priceless to you."

"Well... okay then..." After hearing what Xia Ruoming said, Chu Suhe directly agreed to the previous conditions.

Once people make a choice, they will not be as decisive as before. This is also the lesson Xia Ruoming learned in her previous life.

For Chu Suhe, if there are two choices, she will always weigh the lesser of two advantages, but if there is only one advantageous option, she will directly refuse it.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Squad Leader Chu, remember to tell me the result tomorrow."

Looking at Xia Ruoming's departing back, Chu Suhe immediately covered her hot cheeks with her hands.

When Xia Ruomeng sent her to the hospital for the first time, she had already felt a little bit of love, and that was why she felt shy when she called Xia Ruomeng by her name. But she quickly suppressed that feeling, because she knew that Xia Ruomeng liked Xu Fengwu. If she compared herself with Xu Fengwu, she thought that she was just a firefly in Xia Ruomeng's life, while Xu Fengwu might have illuminated Xia Ruomeng's entire sky.

Although she didn't know why Xia Ruoming was so nice to her, she swore that as long as Xia Ruoming didn't despise her, she would be Xia Ruoming's best friend for the rest of her life.
