Yao Na didn't know what she was feeling at the time, she only remembered that she managed to force a smile and say, "Congratulations."
A perfect couple, childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree—isn't this the ending they were meant to have?
On the day Chunli was admitted to university, Fu's parents held a family banquet. Although it was called a family banquet, they also invited several close disciples from Fu's martial arts school to celebrate together.
At the banquet, everyone congratulated Chunli, congratulating Geng Lang and Chunli on finally getting married, and congratulating Fu's parents on finding such a good son-in-law.
Although Fu's parents said that there was still a long way to go and that the children's feelings might not hold up in the future, the smiles on their faces never faded.
Everyone was congratulating Chunli, but no one remembered that Yao Na also received her acceptance letter today, and she was going to the same school as them.
Occasionally someone mentions it, but they just say congratulations and that's it.
Yao Na smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Chunli has a baby face, delicate and beautiful, as if she hasn't grown since high school, always looking like a vibrant seventeen or eighteen-year-old. At first, everyone said that Chunli and Geng Lang were a perfect match, but by their sophomore and junior years, when Geng Lang graduated, the most common description of them became "an old cow eating young grass".
Geng Lang didn't mind and always doted on Chunli.
Once, when the three of them were shopping, Yao Na jokingly asked Geng Lang, "What do you like about Chun-Li?"
Geng Lang laughed and said, "She's been very mischievous since she was little, but she's also a natural talent for martial arts. I'm the only one in the entire martial arts school who can handle her, and I'm sure she will be in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yao Na lowered her eyes slightly.
It turns out that's all there is to it.
In the second semester of my junior year, my mother was diagnosed with liver cancer and passed away not long after.
Chunli was devastated and became depressed. She stopped going to school and stayed at home all day, searching for traces of her mother's activities.
Geng Lang had his own things to do and couldn't be with her day and night, so he could only ask Yao Na to take care of her.
Yao Na seemed to care a lot. She not only took leave to accompany Chunli, but also frequently asked Geng Lang to go out with her, report on Chunli's recent situation, and talk to him about how to bring Chunli down.
Chunli locked herself in her house for three whole months. Finally, Geng Lang couldn't take it anymore and dragged her out of the house. Faced with Chunli's resistance, Geng Lang said in exasperation, "Look at what you've become! Your aunt has passed away, but you're still alive. Can't you be like your sister and look forward?!"
Chunli flung his hand away and yelled at him, "Because she's not her biological mother!"
"So that's what you think."
Chunli will never forget Geng Lang's reaction after hearing those words.
He released Chunli's hand, took two steps back, and looked at her with an extremely disappointed and unfamiliar gaze: "Your sister took half a semester off from school for you, taking care of you day and night, caring about your health and your emotions. She told me everything that made you happy or unhappy, hoping that I could cheer you up. But what about you? You didn't treat her like family at all!"
Chunli realized she had said the wrong thing, so she explained to Geng Lang that she had just been impulsive and had spoken without thinking.
But Geng Lang shook his head with a wry smile: "No, Lili, if you say that, it means that's what you subconsciously think. You are such a selfish person who only immerses yourself in your own pain and takes other people's efforts for granted."
That was the first time Geng Lang and Chun Li had a fight. After that night, Chun Li understood a lot. It was her fault. She had already lost her mother, and she couldn't lose Geng Lang and Yao Na as well. So she took the initiative to leave the house.
