"I..." Xu Fengwu suddenly remembered what Li Jing taught him, and his face turned pale.
Xu Yihan pressed her own temple directly. She knew what had happened without asking. It was hard to imagine what her daughter had said at that time that could have caused such a big change in this sunny girl.
"I didn't mean it..." After recalling what happened that day, Xu Fengwu suddenly burst into tears as if she had broken down, tears continuously sliding down her face, "I don't hate her that much, I just don't want to fall in love too early, what I said that day really wasn't intentional..."
"Xiao Feng, can you tell mom that you rejected her?"
Xu Fengwu nodded and cried as she spoke incoherently about what she had said when she rejected Xia Ruoming. The more Xu Yihan listened, the worse her expression became. Even a passerby would be disheartened by these words, let alone a girl who had been chasing after you and protecting you for five years.
Even if you were not there, you would know the condescending tone in which Xu Fengwu said those words. Because she came from a single-parent family, Xu Yihan took very good care of Xu Fengwu. In addition, Xia Ruoming had always kept Xu Fengwu in her comfort zone, which gave Xu Fengwu a personality that was a bit like a princess syndrome. She never knew how to get along well with others.
In her daughter's story, she heard a version that was even worse than she had imagined. Before she confessed her love, the whole world knew that Xia Ruoming liked Xu Fengwu and she was always around Xu Fengwu. Maybe her daughter accidentally let it slip when chatting with her friends, and it seemed that the whole school knew about Xia Ruoming's failed confession, even the teacher knew about it.
"Mom, I really didn't mean it. I was too anxious at that time, so I..." Xu Fengwu couldn't help but say as he looked at Xu Yihan's solemn expression.
"Xiaofeng, whether you did it on purpose or not, it doesn't matter now." Xu Yihan looked at her daughter in front of her, and she actually blamed herself. She was largely responsible for Xu Fengwu's current personality. "The words you said would break the heart of even a stranger who has nothing to do with you. What's more, it was Xia Ruoming who had been pursuing you for so long. You also said that Xia Ruoming waited for three years before she mustered up the courage to confess to you. Even if you don't like her, you shouldn't say that about her."
Xu Fengwu lowered his head and said nothing more.
"What happened after she confessed? She didn't treat you like this at that time, right?" Xu Yihan continued to ask about what happened afterwards.
"Well...she was quite normal that day, but the next day in the cafeteria, her complexion was much worse and her hair was messy. She usually saves a seat for me, but when Li Jing and I went to the cafeteria that day, Li Jing asked her about our seats. Not only did she not save a seat for me, but after looking at me, she scolded Li Jing and left directly with Ji Chuan..."
"After school that day, she didn't help me carry my bag and just left. I sent her a message but she ignored me. I sent her a message in the morning and she deleted me. I called her and she had a long conversation with me, telling me that we were not friends at all and asked me to let go of the past."
"She also tutored Ji Chuan. When I went to ask her about that question, she not only refused to teach me, but also mocked me. Then she secretly told Ji Chuan that Bai Yueguang was just Bai Yueguang. Woohoo... Big liar, she clearly said that she would love me forever..."
As she spoke, she began to cry again and could not go on any more.
"She had a long conversation with you? What did she tell you?"
Xu Fengwu twitched twice before he began to tell Xu Yihan everything Xia Ruoming had said on the phone. That was the first time Xia Ruoming had said such cruel words to her, and she remembered it vividly, and she repeated it almost word for word.
"Oh..." After listening to this, Xu Yihan let out a long sigh and shook her head uncontrollably.
"Xiao Feng, you have to understand that you shouldn't take other people's kindness for granted. Besides, you two weren't friends to begin with. If you were just friends, would you really brave the rain and spend two hours grabbing concert tickets for you? Would you really put you behind your back and handle everything yourself? You accept the benefits, and she bears the costs. Although you were originally in an unequal relationship, she still silently accepted it all."
"She doesn't ask for thanks or recognition, she just does what she likes and protects the one she likes silently. This is her way of love. Maybe those are insignificant things in your eyes, but that's because she loves you and is willing to pay for you. She doesn't want you to get hurt even a little bit."
"Xia Ruoming doesn't know your temper? She chose to pursue you and knows it better than anyone else. She didn't really want to be thanked by you for what she did, but she didn't do these things to be insulted by you. No one is so mentally abnormal. You just take her kindness for granted and think that she is born to be good to you. You have hurt her heart unintentionally countless times, but she likes you and can not care and lick her wounds silently."
"But Xiaofeng, let me tell you that there is a limit to how much hurt anyone can endure in this world. Just because she is strong doesn't mean she won't feel pain. Since she said such decisive words to you and told you that you have never been friends, that only means one thing."
"She has become disheartened. This road of giving without asking for anything in return is not as smooth as she wished. Instead, it is full of thorns. A road with no end in sight will only make people want to give up. Now is the time for her to give up. Just like she said, the white moonlight is ultimately something that is out of reach. It is better to settle for the next best thing and find a star that is willing to fall for her. She has let go of the past and has decided to let go of you."
While Xu Yihan was telling the story, Xu Fengwu was already crying uncontrollably. She simply could not accept that Xia Ruoming would really give up on her completely.
Only after you lose something you originally had, do you realize how precious it is.
Her mind was filled with memories of the past and Xia Ruoming.
When I took sick leave, all the information was sent by Xia Ruoming, and all the notes taken in class were recorded on it word for word.
If she wanted something and didn't want to go out, she just had to send a message and Xia Ruoming would deliver it to her immediately.
When she was unhappy and acted unreasonably towards Xia Ruoming, she would just comfort herself and never complain about anything.
Every time she went to the small cafeteria with insufficient seats, she never needed to get food or reserve a seat, as Xia Ruoming would always take care of it for her.
She just regarded all this as her friends' kindness to her and thought it was natural. She was a phoenix, so of course hundreds of birds would revolve around her.
She had never given anything for Xia Ruoming, and Xia Ruoming had never complained about anything. She just followed her silently, no matter how fast or far she walked.
If it's just to be friends, why should I give so much to her?
