The room was pitch black, and only the faint light shining in from the window made it possible to see things clearly.
The already spacious living room now seemed even more quiet and deserted.
Mo Yuqing stared intently at her phone screen with a stern face, then squinted and turned the brightness down a bit.
The dim light from the phone illuminated her exquisitely beautiful face, shining like a spotlight in the dimly lit living room, perfectly showcasing the girl's helplessness and frustration.
After a long series of beeps, the call was finally answered.
Immediately afterwards, a cold and serious voice sounded from the other end.
"Hello."
"Mom, you're not back?" Mo Yuqing asked urgently, sounding very aggrieved.
"No, I've got something urgent to attend to. Let's talk about it later."
Seeing that there was no response for a long time, the person on the other end of the phone continued, "Cheer up, honey. Your Uncle Lin is in China right now. He said he wants to treat you to a meal. Why don't you ask him to come with you? We've been together for so many years, it's time for you to accept him."
"No!! I'll stay here by myself! Do whatever you want, it's none of my business." Mo Yuqing said, forcing back tears. "You and him and your own child can live your lives, don't worry about me."
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? How old are you? How can you be so immature? Don't I love you enough? How many children have such good conditions as you? What haven't I bought you since you were little? Be sensible, be good. I'm hanging up now. Tell me if you need more money."
Before Mo Yuqing could say anything more, the phone rang with the sound of it being hung up.
"......"
Mo Yuqing slowly placed her phone on the coffee table and leaned against the large French window, looking at the river view outside.
Curled up with her legs tucked in, she felt completely lost.
The buildings in the surrounding residential areas all lit up, each light representing a different aspect of life.
She was all alone, as if abandoned by the world.
When she came to her senses, she realized that she had almost inexplicably dialed Chen Lu's number.
He then quickly released his finger, which was about to press down.
I never imagined it would become a habit.
Over the years, whenever I encounter something unpleasant like this, I always turn to Chen Lu...
If it weren't for that incident back then, Chen Lu would have come to be with her immediately with just one phone call.
Then I'll take her out to eat, see a movie, and go for a walk in the park, just like before...
She will listen patiently with a smile to all my complaints about being unhappy.
The girl sniffed and hugged her slender legs tighter and tighter.
He used to be so good to me...
But why can't we even be friends anymore?
When did I start to feel that Chen Lu would never leave, no matter what?
Looking at her reflection in the French windows, Mo Yuqing felt incredibly depressed.
She couldn't figure out either of those two questions.
She had rejected so many people, and countless others continued to show interest after being rejected, which annoyed her to no end.
But Chen Lu left her directly, refusing to even be her friend.
Chen Lu had been by her side since she was a child. Their fathers had a very good relationship, and she and Chen Lu were true childhood sweethearts. Chen Lu had always been very good to her since she was a child, and he almost always did what she wanted. So she really couldn't tell when she decided that Chen Lu would never leave her.
The thought that Chen Lu might still be with that girl made her burst into tears, as if Chen Lu had been taken away by someone else.
No, it wasn't so much stolen;
It seems more like I'm handing it over to someone else...
"Mo Yuqing, you will really regret this."
Liu Yan's words kept echoing in my ears, refusing to fade away.
Mo Yuqing's vision suddenly became incredibly blurry, and all the lights in front of her turned into colorful stars. She could only vaguely see her reflection in the French windows, with tears streaming down her face.
She had always felt that it was Chen Lu who couldn't live without her, not the other way around.
Now I realize that I might have been wrong.
She only now realized just how good Chen Lu had been to her;
Ironically, this happened after Chen Lu turned and left.
Mo Yuqing felt that she hadn't figured anything out, but she had finally understood one thing;
Although I don't know what Chen Lu is thinking, this time, he probably really won't come to apologize.
...
Night falls.
After seeing Liang Zhirou off, Chen Lu returned to his dormitory feeling quite pleased with himself, only to find Jiang Chao eating while playing video games.
When you get killed and see the black and white TV screen, seize the opportunity to eat a few bites, and then continue playing after you respawn.
This seems to be a skill common to all boys.
“That’s right, I just went to see her off.” Chen Lu interrupted Jiang Chao before he could speak.
"Her name is Liang Zhirou. Stop calling her 'the girl from the hot pot restaurant' all the time."
Jiang Chao raised an eyebrow slightly. "They've already started protecting her? That's pretty fast."
"What? We're still completely innocent friends. It's not what you think, at least not for now." Chen Lu walked slowly to the dormitory balcony, revealing a somewhat longing smile. "But who knows what will happen in the future."
"Let's take it slow, both of us need time."
"You don't want your white moonlight anymore?" Jiang Chao joked. "No, wait, this seems to be called a cinnabar mole."
"I think... both of them count."
Mo Yuqing is both the bright moon he loves but cannot have, and his eternal pain.
Chen Lu said with a self-deprecating tone, then turned his head seriously and said, "Although I know you're mocking me, I still have to say, no thanks."
