Several female students were singing below the big screen. Yao Sitian leaned close to Yan Luo's ear.
He spoke very directly.
"Have you found a girlfriend yet?"
Yanluo nodded after taking a sip of beer.
This response left Yao Sitian momentarily stunned. The cheerful singing in her ears grew fainter and fainter, and her eyes widened in disbelief at Yan Luo's answer.
It's been almost three years since Yanluo graduated from high school, so it's normal for him to find a girlfriend.
However, this was unacceptable to Yao Sitian, who liked Yanluo.
Yao Sitian got up and mouthed to Yan Luo that she was going to the restroom.
Yan Luo nodded.
At the dinner party earlier, Yao Sitian, being the class monitor, had drunk quite a bit and was already a little tipsy. She walked to a covered walkway, leaned on the stone railing, and felt the slightly chilly night wind.
Yao Sitian pondered whether her persistence over the past two or three years had been the right thing to do. Soon, she resolved her inner conflict, realizing that everyone has admired someone who amazed them when they were young.
It was just a waste of time, but the genuine feelings were real, comforting my past self and giving me the motivation to keep going when I was lost.
Therefore, Yao Sitian has no regrets.
My heart was filled with such resentment and sorrow. If I had been braver and more proactive back then, would Yanluo have been with me?
Thinking back to Yanluo's state at that time, Yao Sitian was troubled again, not knowing what role she should play to comfort him or stand by his side.
The girl he loved must have possessed something he lacked in order to truly stand by Yanluo's side and accompany him to see the world he saw.
What is the world like through Yanluo's eyes?
This made Yao Sitian, who was in tears, think.
The wind blew her hair to one side, making it dance with the force of the wind, which made Yao Sitian shiver a little from the cold.
"So you were here."
A familiar voice came from behind her. The moment Yao Sitian turned around, the glistening tears on her face were reflected in Yan Luo's eyes.
Yao Sitian hurriedly wiped away her tears and forced a smile.
"I drank a bit too much, so I just need to get some fresh air."
Yanluo also leaned against the railing.
"Perfect timing, I also want to get some fresh air, it's a bit stuffy in here."
The two remained silent for a while.
Yao Sitian couldn't help but ask.
Is your girlfriend pretty?
"very beautiful."
Seeing Yan Luo's immediate and unwavering answer, Yao Sitian's heart skipped a beat.
How enviable!
Another silence followed.
Yao Sitian spoke again.
Actually, I fell in love with you back in high school.
Yan Luo was somewhat surprised. At that time, his world consisted only of ghost hunters, his master, his teammates, and his sister. He hadn't paid attention to anything else.
However, the young man still smiled gently at Yao Sitian.
"Thanks."
Just two words were enough to make Yao Sitian's tears, which she had already stopped, well up again.
But she didn't intend to say anything.
That would make me look very embarrassed.
What she didn't know was that Yanluo wouldn't care about these things.
Yanluo took out a small packet of tissues from her pocket and handed it to Yao Sitian.
"Wipe it off."
"Thanks."
The girl took the tissue and wiped away her tears.
"How is your relationship?"
"very good."
Yao Sitian took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
If I had confessed my feelings to you back then, would you have said yes?
Yan Luo shook her head decisively.
No matter what time or space I am in, if I were to meet Su Qing, I would undoubtedly fall in love with her.
Su Qing held a very important place in Yan Luo's heart.
Only the inkstones here are without too many regrets.
What if there were no ghouls in other timelines?
Then I wouldn't have met Chi Miaomiao, nor would I have met Bai Ningbing.
Therefore, Yanluo dared not even think about such a situation.
Yan Luo is a very selfish person. Whether it is Su Qing, Chi Miaomiao, or Bai Ningbing, he wants to meet, get to know, and fall in love with them.
Yan Luo dared not even imagine what would have happened to the injured Bai Ningbing if she hadn't entered the ancient ruins or the demon realm.
Yao Sitian looked at the moon in the sky. The moon was very big tonight, but only half of it was visible.
Does this reflect on how he compares to Yanluo's girlfriend, or is he simply too far inferior?
I'm so unwilling to accept this...
The night wind suddenly picked up, causing the girl's hair to obscure her bright eyes.
Yao Sitian tucked her hair behind her ear, wiped away the last tear from the corner of her eye, and turned around.
"Let's go back and sing. I want to sing."
Yan Luo nodded and followed behind Yao Sitian.
Back in the private room, some classmates started teasing us.
"Class monitor, where have you and Yanluo been? Come on, sing a duet!"
Yao Sitian looked at Yan Luo hesitantly, but when she saw Yan Luo nod, an expectant smile appeared on the girl's face.
The two stood on the platform below the big screen, holding microphones, and sang a duet of "The End".
This song was originally meant to be sung by one person, but since Yao Sitian wanted to sing it, Yanluo agreed.
Yao Sitian's singing voice is melodious, carrying the resentment and regret of these years, but also a sense of relief.
The second round was nearing its end. Yan Luo used his chaotic energy to dispel the alcohol in his body, and he hadn't drunk much.
(Never drink and drive!)
After seeing their classmates off, the two stood at the entrance of the royal residence. The unusually strong wind tonight made Yao Sitian, who was only wearing a long dress, feel a little cold.
Yanluo took a coat from the car; it was one he had brought with him that morning but hadn't worn.
"for you."
Yao Sitian thanked him and put on the silk coat.
"Can you take me home?"
Faced with the girl's request, Yanluo nodded, out of consideration for their past as classmates.
It was getting quite cold, so she turned on the car's heater, which made Yao Sitian feel a little sleepy.
Fortunately, she told Yanluo where she lived before getting on the bus, otherwise Yanluo would have been in trouble.
Shaking the sleeping Yao Sitian, the girl slowly woke up.
"arrive."
"Thanks."
Yao Sitian is still in school and lives in a single apartment not far from the school.
After getting out of the car, Yao Sitian took off her coat and put it on the passenger seat.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Yanluo drove away.
As Yao Sitian watched the taillights disappear into the distance, she squatted down, hugged her legs tightly, and tears slowly streamed down her face before she began to sob.
No matter how much she tries to let go, she's destined to be restless tonight.
I got home after midnight.
Yanluo closed the door and noticed a warm yellow light still shining from the second floor.
He instantly appeared beside the sofa.
A white fox was fast asleep on the sofa. Yan Luo gently picked up Bai Ningbing.
But this little noise still woke Bai Ningbing up.
"You're back?"
Seeing the tenderness in Bai Ningbing's blood-red willow-leaf eyes, Yan Luo nodded.
"Why don't you go to your room to sleep?"
"Wait for you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Luo kissed Bai Ningbing.
Bai Ningbing wrapped her arms around Yan Luo's neck, trying her best to respond to his kiss.
The warm yellow light always makes people feel happy and relaxed. Yanluo hugged and kissed Bai Ningbing and sat back on the sofa.
