The road from the dormitory to the school gate is shaded by willow trees on both sides, with long strips of paper hanging down to the ground, occasionally blocking the way for two people.
As they walked to the door, Yan Moxuan gently withdrew her hand and gave him a nudge, saying, "Alright, that's enough."
Let me take you to the station.
"No need, let's stop here."
Yan Moxuan said with a smile, "I'm afraid if you see me off again, I won't want to leave."
Yu Mobai didn't speak, but silently looked at Yan Moxuan.
This meeting was indeed quite unexpected for him.
However, talking to a friend like this is a good option, at least the two of you don't have to go through those dramatic scenes of life and death.
The school gate was bustling with departing students, creating a noisy atmosphere, but the two people stood facing each other without exchanging a single word.
"Go back, I'm leaving too."
After a long pause, Yan Moxuan's lips trembled, and she quickly turned her head away to look elsewhere.
"Um."
Yu Mobai nodded. "Have a safe journey."
"...good."
Yan Moxuan lowered her head, pulled the suitcase from Yu Mobai's hands, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "Junior, it's so good to have met you."
"Me too."
Yu Mobai smiled and waved, "Perhaps we'll meet again in a year."
"Um."
The reply was barely audible, but when Yan Moxuan looked up again, she still wore that familiar smile. "Goodbye, junior."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Watching Yan Moxuan walk to the nearby bus stop, Yu Mobai also sighed. He didn't really like the drama of separation.
But reality is different from TV dramas; there are no perfect things in life.
Just as he was considering whether to ask Feng Linhao to go out for drinks and a foot massage that night, the familiar "perfume bomb" rushed into his arms.
Yu Mobai took a step back out of inertia, smelling the familiar fragrance emanating from the strands of hair on his nose, and pulled her into his arms as well.
Yan Moxuan hugged Yu Mobai tightly with both arms, remaining silent.
After a while, she sniffed, didn't say another word, and didn't even make eye contact with Yu Mobai again before letting go of him and leaving.
This time, it's for real.
Watching Yan Moxuan board the bus, Yu Mobai felt a tightness in his chest and muttered softly, "Didn't we agree not to cry?"
On his shoulder, two dark circular marks clashed with the color of his entire outfit.
...
After seeing Yan Moxuan off, Yu Mobai immediately called Feng Linhao out for drinks.
"Why drink alcohol in the middle of the afternoon?"
Feng Linhao said with great dissatisfaction, "When are we going back to the county town?"
"Even drinking can't shut you up."
Yu Mobai muttered, "Today I'm just going to drink, I don't want to think about anything else."
"Who the hell offended you? Why are you taking your anger out on me?"
Feng Linhao asked curiously, "You got the short end of the stick too?"
"We are people of the martial world, quick to repay kindness and settle scores. I usually settle scores on the spot."
Yu Mobai chuckled and took a swig of beer. "How are things going between you and Hao Xinqing?"
"It's...it's alright."
When the topic came up, Feng Linhao stammered, "I don't know if we can be considered boyfriend and girlfriend."
"If it really doesn't work, then forget it."
Yu Mobai shook his head, "Don't hold them back."
"Damn, is this how you treat a friend?"
Feng Linhao objected, "I've already put in a lot of effort, who knows what the result will be?"
"I don't care about your mess."
The two drank until night before helping each other back to their dorm to sleep.
"Damn, I suddenly remembered, didn't I stay here one night during my last holiday?"
"Shut up, if you have so much to say, go talk to Hao Xinqing."
Feng Linhao immediately fell silent. He looked up at Yu Mobai and muttered under his breath, "If she paid any attention to me, would I still be out drinking with you?"
...
During the summer between sophomore and junior year, everyone seemed to be extremely busy.
Yu Mobai did not return to the county town. Ji Mushu was still running around trying to learn from Guo Xiuyan. Dong Yike was also very busy, but she took a few days to return to the county town to accompany Dong Muhong.
Dong Muhong naturally sent Ji Zhigang back to enjoy some time alone with her daughter.
However, as the conversation deepened, it became inevitable that they would talk about one person: Yu Mobai.
"mom..."
Dong Yike clung to Dong Muhong's arm and said coquettishly, "Little Bai is so good to me, aren't you going to accept him?"
"Being nice to you may only be temporary."
Dong Muhong experienced a lot of hardship when she was young, so it was very difficult for her to trust others.
When faced with Ji Zhigang's pursuit, Dong Muhong was actually thinking of herself. However, as time went by, she realized that Ji Zhigang was genuinely good to her, and that's when she let her guard down.
"What if Yu Mobai changes his mind in the future?"
No, it won't happen.
Dong Yike pouted and said, "He's not that kind of person. A while ago, his company injected a large sum of money into my company to help me expand the market."
"Really? How many shares does he own?"
Dong Muhong continued to ask.
This surprised Dong Yike. "Mom, how did you know about the shares?"
"That's how it's often portrayed on TV."
Dong Muhong said with a hint of pride, "Your mom loves watching these kinds of TV dramas the most."
"Oh, Mom, you're overthinking it. Yu Mobai's investment is just that, not a shareholding. We'll just have to wait for the dividends."
