Chapter Ninety-Seven: Choice



The next day

Xiao Se was the first to arrive at the classroom. Unlike usual, he sat at his desk and studied diligently. However, looking at the densely packed words on the desk, he couldn't help but feel sleepy. He patted his cheeks, "I can't sleep! I must study hard to prove to Lin Weiwei that I can pass the exam."

"Xiao, come to the rooftop for a moment."

His two brothers were also very serious. They set up a small table on the rooftop, with wine and dried fruit on it, as if they were about to sit down and have a long talk.

"Which would you choose, your ex-girlfriend or your current girlfriend? Don't pretend with me. You told me yesterday, 'If you're going to drive away a visitor, then drive him away. Why did you leave with that woman?'" Ma Fei's righteous face was filled with anger. He had only returned to his place late at night and saw that Lin Weiwei's room light was still on, and that she hadn't replied to the text messages she received on her phone. He knew that something must have happened.

In my memory, Lin Weiwei wasn't a casual person. She knew perfectly well that Xiao Se hated his uncle and that it was impossible for her to still live with him. It must be that this guy did something to wrong her and she had no other choice but to go to him.

He hesitated when asked this question because his heart raced whenever he saw Xiaohan, and he couldn't help but want to get closer. Lin Weiwei had also said that there was no possibility between them, that there was absolutely no chance. How could this heartless woman be so stubborn? What would happen if she said she loved him? Yes, he admitted that Xiaohan's appearance had stirred up all his memories, so he couldn't help but want to take care of her.

"Weiwei said she never said I was her boyfriend, nor did she ever love me, but... she's the most special girl I've ever met—aloof, strong-willed, unapproachable, and mysterious. I always want to get closer, but I'm always filled with anxiety and uncertainty."

She drove him crazy, making him do some irrational things, but it was precisely this woman who made him greedily want to possess her and demand more.

"Have you ever really understood her? What does she like? What does she love to eat? What are her dreams? You're really something else, you actually did that in the bathroom..." The fast talker trailed off, hesitating. With such a commotion, how could no one know? It ruined his wedding, making it unforgettable for him, and the expressions of all the aunts and uncles present.

"You! You're a disgrace to us men. You should change your 'se' to 'pervert.' If I were a woman, I wouldn't like you either. How could you do such a thing? But she didn't report you, maybe she's being lenient."

Ma Fei analyzed for him, saying that although Weiwei was not talkative and not good at expressing herself, she was very kind-hearted and cared about the safety and feelings of others. This time, Xiao Se really made a big mistake in love.

Hearing their accusations, he did feel even more guilty, but... no one could understand how he felt at that time. After singing that song, he couldn't stop the sadness in his heart. There was no clear answer, and they were like strangers. He didn't want to continue in this awkward situation. Besides, she was just too beautiful, and he couldn't resist.

Tongtong gives off a gentle and fragile vibe, making you want to protect her. Her absent-mindedness and carefree nature also make you worry, so you want to take care of her. He felt sorry for her, but Lin Weiwei was different. She could earn money, couldn't beat anyone in a fight, and was excellent at her studies, requiring no one to worry about her. It seemed his presence brought her nothing but feelings of inferiority.

They remained silent, unsure of what to do.

"Xiao Se, do you still need to think about it? A person who has been dead for so many years, the girl you saw that day might just be a coincidence, not the real person. Since you've decided to win Weiwei back, why are you still thinking about the past? Can you be so irresponsible?"

The two brothers were extremely disappointed with his performance. They were also very saddened by Tongtong's death, but the appearance of the strange woman was too eerie. There must be a conspiracy behind her uninvited arrival.

"You don't understand. I know Tongtong loved me, at least for what she did for me. Weiwei truly had no feelings for me; she only used me to get close to Old Man Xiao. But… Liu Yidao is right, I don't think I really understand her."

All I know is that she's a Mercury agent who killed a spy, and that she's allergic to pollen; nothing else. What's next after killing the spy? What's her motive for seeking out Dr. Li? All he knows is jealousy; does she like this doctor? Who is she spending all her time with? He's truly selfish, completely disregarding her feelings.

"Weiwei probably won't be coming to class today, all because of you, you scoundrel. Women prefer men who are gentlemen, not lazy bums like you who do nothing, have no ideals, and just sleep all day."

"Hey, stop talking, Xiaofei. He's hopeless, let him figure it out himself!"

The two brothers couldn't do anything about him, because once Xiao Se made a choice, no one could change it. He was a young master and they couldn't force him to do things; they could only leave him to think for himself.

After everyone left, Xiao Se sat on the rooftop. If it weren't for Lin Weiwei, he might still be the leader of Class 7 in the preparatory course, spending his days idly, either spacing out or sleeping in class, copying homework, wasting time, getting into fights, or going to nightclubs to make money. Every day was the same, dull and tasteless. This kind of life only came about after Tongtong left.

Perhaps it was the emptiness that made him think this way, but I'm really unwilling to accept it, why doesn't she like me!

I picked up my phone, wanting to call her again, but then stopped myself. Losing all interest in class, I left the campus with my hands in my pockets. Walking along the path, I unconsciously looked up at the sign—it was a women's college!

How did he end up here?

"Young man, male students are not allowed to enter. Students are in class right now, please leave." The security guard closed the electric gate when he saw the tall boy.

They won't let me in? Fine, what do you think can stop me?

So he went to a nearby women's clothing store, dressed up carefully, and when the bell rang, many students rushed out to buy things. Wearing a baseball cap and with his head down, he took advantage of the chaos to rush in.

"Stop! How can there be such a tall girl? What department and class is she in?"

"Ugh, old man, I'm telling the principal you're hitting on students!"

...

The bewildered middle-aged man in the air was quite helpless. Whose girl grew so tall as if she had eaten fertilizer? It was normal to ask a question. Every year, a group of boys from the boys' academy would sneak in dressed as girls, and why were their leg hairs so long! After explaining the details of the shift change, he followed.

Xiao Se ran very fast along the way, asked for directions to the dance department classroom, and rushed into the classroom. He saw Xiao Han wearing a Latin dance dress, spinning in front of the mirror, her hair flying in the air, her dress fluttering. The teachers leading the class praised her, saying that her dance was both strong and graceful.

Seeing the security guard catching up, he rushed in, "Teacher, I'm late! Xiaohan, weren't you going to teach me footwork today?"

The teacher was also bewildered. Did she really have students that tall in her class? Over a hundred? Had she missed one? But Xiaohan was performing exceptionally well; the teacher always paid attention when she spoke. Han Han, seeing the familiar face with the wig, was secretly delighted. "Teacher, is that so? I'll go out for a bit."

He finally arrived... and he arrived the very next day.
