Chapter 26 Never Been in a Relationship
The words "first kiss" struck Su Yueming's brain like lightning.
It made him feel completely excited.
"You, you've never been in a relationship."
Su Yueming heard himself whispering a question to him.
"Um."
Wang Yan answered sullenly, his chin drooping so low it almost touched his chest.
No one had ever liked him growing up, so he naturally felt that he didn't deserve to be liked by anyone.
It's nobody's fault; it's just that his appearance is unappealing and his personality is equally unpleasant.
Why didn't Su Yueming believe it? Because in his eyes, he really found Wang Yan very attractive.
It attracted not only him, but also many, many other people.
For example, Su Yueming first heard Wang Yan's name from a boy during his high school years.
It was a long break between classes, and because the teacher wasn't there, the classroom was noisy.
When a group of boys get together, they either talk about games or girls.
Su Yueming, however, was not interested in any of this. He simply sat there perfunctorily, his eyes always fixed on his book.
"Did you know? There's a boy in the next class who works part-time at a barbecue restaurant every night." Zheng Xiao's tone was tinged with admiration. "He's really amazing."
"Isn't he tired?"
“Of course he’s tired, that’s why I said he’s amazing.” Zheng Xiao licked his lips, as if recalling the day he went there to eat barbecue, “He was the one who grilled the skewers for me.”
"Wipe your drool, it's drooling." Everyone teased him with jokes.
Zheng Xiao rolled her eyes. "A bunch of straight men, what do you know?"
"Yes, yes, we don't know." The crowd continued gossiping, "So what's his name?"
“Wang Yan,” Zheng Xiao emphasized, “His name is Wang Yan.”
His name thus entered Su Yueming's ears and was etched into his heart.
If you were to ask Su Yueming to name the one most despicable thing he's ever done.
This matter must be related to Wang Yan.
Su Yueming still remembers it to this day; it was a day not long after he helped Wang Yan.
Zheng Xiao called out to Su Yueming, who was about to leave, during evening self-study.
"The trees sing".
He instinctively stopped and turned around.
"What's wrong?"
The students had gradually left the classroom, leaving only the two of them in the large classroom.
As the light bulb above his head emitted a faint hum of electricity, Zheng Xiao slowly approached him.
"I... I want to ask you for a favor." A rare look of nervousness appeared on Zheng Xiao's face.
"you say."
Su Yueming never lacks friends because he treats them very well.
Whenever he's around, whether it's for a meal or drinks, he always pays the bill himself.
As a result, everyone thought Su Yueming was a kind and approachable rich young master.
"I want you to help me pass this love letter to Wang Yan."
As Zheng Xiao spoke, she handed the love letter to Su Yueming with both hands.
The classroom suddenly fell silent, and the wind outside the window rustled.
Su Yueming stared at Zheng Xiao's shy face, his discomfort gradually building up.
"Why are you asking me to hand it over?"
"Because I heard you saved him, he'll probably accept this love letter out of respect for you."
Su Yueming nodded slightly, but no one knew what he was thinking.
His dark eyes were like an endless, dry well.
"So you already knew he was being bullied?" Su Yueming and Zheng Xiao locked eyes, his words sharp. "Since you like him, why didn't you choose to help him?"
Zheng Xiao suddenly fell silent, seemingly unsure how to respond.
"I……."
"Look how nervous you are. I was just joking with you." Su Yueming interrupted Zheng Xiao before he finished speaking, a smile appearing in his eyes, as if he had really just been teasing her.
Zheng Xiao felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders when she heard him say that.
Zheng Xiao raised his hand to wipe away non-existent sweat from his forehead, and the smile that had disappeared from the corner of his mouth returned. "Oops."
"Give me the love letter, I'll pass it on for you."
Su Yueming smiled and reached out to take the love letter.
"Thank you, I knew you would help me!" Zheng Xiao was almost overjoyed.
"You don't need to be so polite with me. Besides, it's just a small favor."
Su Yueming waved his hand politely, "It's getting late, I'll go home now."
As he turned around, the smile on his lips vanished instantly.
Su Yueming strode out of the classroom, and the motion-activated lights in the corridor gradually lit up one by one as his footsteps echoed.
He walked out of the teaching building, bathed in light.
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and Su Yueming subconsciously clicked to answer.
"Young Master."
It was the driver, Uncle Zhao's voice: "Do you need me to go into the school?"
Su Yueming usually leaves the school gate at 9:30 pm sharp, but today it's almost 10 pm and he's still nowhere to be seen.
As a driver, he wouldn't call Su Yueming unless absolutely necessary.
"No need, I'll be right out."
Su Yueming spoke succinctly on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, young master."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yueming looked at the love letter in his hand under the afterglow of the moonlight.
The envelope has a simple and clean cover, with only a heart drawn on the opening.
He gazed at the heart and muttered his assessment: "Tacky, old-fashioned."
Su Yueming picked up his foot again and walked forward along the road.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.
What does Zheng Xiao take him for?
Is this a deliveryman?
Why should he be in charge of communication?
The dim streetlights cast long shadows on Su Yueming, and he stopped abruptly.
Wang Yan's stubborn face flashed through my mind.
My gaze fell on the nearby trash cans, which were divided into recyclable and non-recyclable trash cans.
Without hesitation, Su Yueming threw the love letter into the non-recyclable trash can.
A coward is not worthy of a resilient person.
Su Yueming made an excuse for himself, thinking that he had done a good deed.
When I left, my steps became lighter.
Su Yueming thought the matter was over.
However, just two days later, Zheng Xiao found Su Yueming again.
Did he accept the love letter?
Zheng Xiao stood beside Su Yueming and cautiously asked him.
Su Yueming sat on the stool with a slight frown. The scorching sunlight fell on his face, making him feel extremely irritable.
"I've accepted it."
Su Yueming lied subconsciously.
"Did he say anything?" Zheng Xiao's eyes lit up.
Su Yueming sensed the other person's expectation, and a surge of malice began to well up within him for no apparent reason.
“That’s why I didn’t tell you the result.” Su Yueming turned his head and looked at Zheng Xiao seriously, his voice slow and gentle as if he were slowly torturing her. “He said he doesn’t like you and that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship right now.”
Even today, Su Yueming still remembers how Zheng Xiao looked back then, teetering on the brink of collapse yet trying to appear strong.
