Chapter 120 Graduation Season, Time to Confess Your Feelings
In the last few days before the college entrance examination, a subtle and relaxed atmosphere permeated the air at No. 1 High School.
Everyone seemed exceptionally relaxed on the surface; after all, this stage is often a season for farewells and confessions.
Perhaps it was because Lu Yuan's overly passionate confession not long ago was so shocking that it seemed to give all the boys in the school a shot in the arm, resulting in a more intense confession craze this year than in any previous year.
Especially after Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian publicly confirmed their relationship, Xu Lingjing's suitors sprang up like mushrooms after rain, one after another.
These past few days, every morning when Xu Lingjing walks into the classroom, there are always several exquisite love letters piled up on her desk.
In the past, she would have read the letters aloud, word by word, before showing them off to her girlfriends to flaunt her charm. But now, she had no interest in even opening them, let alone looking at them, and casually tossed them into the trash can.
Jiang Yiqing and the others couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lingjing, why didn't you even glance at it?"
"There's nothing to see," Xu Lingjing said flatly. "It's just some meaningless love quotes copied and pasted. If I don't read it, they'll give up; if I do, they'll think I'm responding."
As she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Lu Yuan not far away and said softly, "People, it's rare enough to truly fall in love with someone in a lifetime. How can you have so much time to fall in love with everyone you meet?"
She has indeed changed.
They became cold and aloof, as if they had built an invisible wall around themselves.
Lu Yuan saw it all, but he wasn't sure whether her change was a sign of growth or a sign of isolation.
Of course, the turmoil wasn't over yet. Among the pile of "scrap papers" that Xu Lingjing casually discarded, there was one that belonged to Li Xian.
He was still harboring ulterior motives, believing that he would have his chance once Lu Yuan was completely out of the picture.
So, during that evening self-study session, he specially invited Xu Lingjing to the end of the corridor.
Xu Lingjing didn't want to pay attention to it, but considering they were classmates and the other party was the class monitor, she had to give him face, so she had no choice but to come out.
"Xu, graduation is just around the corner, I..." Li Xian had already rehearsed countless times in his mind, preparing to make a heartfelt confession.
He couldn't pull off the kind of romantic and grand spectacle that Lu Yuan did, but he firmly believed that sincerity was the ultimate trump card.
However, before he could finish his introduction, Xu Lingjing raised her hand to interrupt him: "Class monitor, I know what you want to say, but please don't say it."
Li Xian was taken aback and was about to speak when Xu Lingjing continued in a calm, almost cruel tone, "I don't like you. Maybe that's not enough to make you give up, so let me be more explicit: I didn't like you before, I don't like you now, and I'll never like you in the future."
"But..." Li Xian was choked and his face turned red, but he was still unwilling to give up and tried to make a last struggle.
Xu Lingjing didn't give him a chance: "Class monitor, we've been classmates, let's part ways amicably during graduation. I hope you won't bother me anymore, thank you."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the classroom, leaving behind only a resolute back view.
Li Xian stood frozen in place, as if a sudden blizzard had frozen his world.
His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, letting out a long howl as a powerful background music swelled up: snowflakes fluttered, the north wind howled, and the world was shrouded in a vast expanse of desolation…
From a distance, Zheng Jiarui took in Li Xian's predicament, finding it both amusing and frustrating, and even a little indignant.
Jiang Yiqing shares the same troubles as Xu Lingjing. Hou Mingyu has clearly not given up on her and has launched another confession offensive.
This annoyed her so much that she not only deleted Hou Mingyu from her QQ contacts, but also avoided him like the plague.
Perhaps due to the extreme stimulation, one day Hou Mingyu suddenly barged into the dormitory like a madman, demanding a one-on-one fight with Lu Yuan by name.
Everyone was completely bewildered, thinking he had suffered a mental breakdown due to the immense pressure of the college entrance exam.
Only Lu Yuan knew what was wrong with him.
Lu Yuan could have announced to the world that he had failed to confess his feelings to Jiang Yiqing, causing him to lose face and give up in the face of difficulties, but he did not do so. Instead, he kicked him out.
This can be seen as, in a way, preserving the last bit of self-esteem of this insecure and sensitive teenager.
Of course, Hou Mingyu hated Lu Yuan. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely trample Lu Yuan underfoot in the future and make Jiang Yiqing look at him with new eyes.
Recently, many people have been rushing to confess their feelings to the people they like, but Gao Zhe has fallen into deep thought: I'm not bad either, so why doesn't anyone confess to me?
"Brother Zhe, can you help me open this bottle of water?" Wang Qingyu, a little girl wearing round-framed glasses, suddenly came over and handed over a bottle of water.
Gao Zhe was contemplating life and didn't want to pay attention, but when he thought that this was his "sworn brother", he casually helped her unscrew the bottle cap.
"Brother Zhe, what are you thinking about?" Wang Qingyu asked curiously, her big eyes filled with curiosity.
"I've been wondering why no girl has ever confessed to me?" Gao Zhe stroked his chin, looking deep in thought.
"Hehe, of course I have one." Wang Qingyu smiled sweetly, then took out a carefully folded pink letter from her pocket and handed it to Gao Zhe.
Gao Zhe was taken aback and took the paper, puzzled. Unfolding it, he found only one word on it: "You".
"What is it?" Gao Zhe looked at it from all angles, completely baffled.
"Guess!" Wang Qingyu blushed, lowered her head shyly, and twisted the hem of her clothes behind her back with her hands due to excessive nervousness.
"Oh~ I see." Gao Zhe suddenly looked like he had just realized something.
Wang Qingyu was overjoyed, just wanting to hear Gao Zhe's "brilliant insights," when she watched helplessly as the pink letter was transformed into a paper airplane in an instant by Gao Zhe's exquisite origami skills.
"Brother Wang, watch closely, your brother Zhe's paper airplane flies the farthest."
As he spoke, he breathed on the nose of the airplane and threw it forcefully.
Before Wang Qingyu could even stop it, the pink paper airplane drew a beautiful arc and flew into the distance.
"It must be a hundred meters long!" Gao Zhe couldn't help but smile smugly as he watched the paper airplane fly further and further away.
Wang Qingyu stood there, wanting to cry but unable to.
"Brother Wang, this paper is pretty good. It makes paper airplanes fly really far. Do you have any more? Give me another one."
"Phew~" Wang Qingyu let out a long breath, finally accepting her fate. "That's all, just this one."
……
The college entrance exam is in two days, and Lu Yuan returned Tong Xiaowei's review notes to her as promised. This time, Lu Yuan didn't let Tong Xiaowei, a young girl, carry so many heavy materials up and down the stairs; instead, he offered to help her take them back.
On the way, Tong Xiaowei looked somewhat grave. After much deliberation, she finally spoke to Lu Yuan, saying, "Anqi has been very unhappy lately. You may not know, but I've known her for many years and have never seen her like this before. I suppose... she's truly heartbroken."
Lu Yuan paused, knowing full well that this was not the outcome he wanted to see.
If possible, he still hoped to have no connection with Xia Anqi at all, so that this awkward situation wouldn't occur. After all, having more friends is always better than having more enemies.
"So what did she say about me?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.
"She won't mention you," Tong Xiaowei said earnestly, looking at him. "But the more she deliberately avoids mentioning you, the more it proves she cares about you. She's just that kind of unusual person."
"Hmm..." Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment, having nothing to say.
By the time Lu Yuan returned the notes to Tong Xiaowei's classroom, class had just ended, and there weren't many people in the corridor, which made him feel much more at ease.
After thinking for a moment, Tong Xiaowei decided to comfort him, "But you don't need to worry too much. Anqi won't let this affect her college entrance exam."
"That's good." Lu Yuan smiled and said sincerely, "Then I wish you all the best in your college entrance exam."
"You too." Tong Xiaowei also gave a beautiful smile.
Although the two don't usually spend much time together, at this moment, they both left a deep and warm impression on each other.
