People in Douluo: Ice Phoenix does not fight or compete

Chapter 18: The Cowardly Yu Xiaogang
Night falls
The welcome dinner, which should have been organized earlier, has been delayed until today.

However, the atmosphere of this seemingly grand banquet could not be mobilized.

Seeing that Shui Tian did not attend the dinner, the teachers of Blue Ba Academy inevitably had other thoughts, and they gave face to Dean Liu Erlong by not making excuses to leave.

Because she saw the teachers' attitude, Liu Erlong did not dare to propose the idea of ​​transferring the position of dean.

The timing is not right now. As soon as I open my mouth, the vice-president's diehard followers, led by Yinshu, will probably riot immediately.

After all, every teacher who needed a spirit ring to advance in the past ten years has received Shui Tian’s help.

Shui Tian generously passed on his cultivation experience to them, so how could they not be moved?

The dinner was held in the cafeteria. Yu Xiaogang sat alone in the corner, picking up and putting down the glass of light wine several times.

His eyes looked at Liu Erlong in the main seat again and again, and looked away again and again when she looked at him.

This look made her feel distressed. After all, he was the man she had taken a step towards marriage with, and her mood would be affected by his behavior all the time.

After several failed attempts to boost morale, Flanders powerlessly put down his wine glass and thought that maybe he and others shouldn't have come here.

: It would be nice if there was no Shuitian in the world~
The teachers at Lan Ba ​​Academy didn't give him face, and Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were absent-minded.

The others were not fools and could see the awkwardness of this banquet.

Therefore, the welcome party ended early and everyone left the cafeteria with their own thoughts.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang's back, Liu Erlong couldn't control her emotions and called out, "Xiaogang, have you been doing well these years?"

For some unknown reason, Yu Xiaogang walked at the end of Shrek's group.

He paused when he heard her voice, and turned around with a bitter look on his face.

Nothing said, nothing to say.

Just this haggard look was enough to make Liu Erlong feel distressed.

She took a few steps forward and was about to grab Yu Xiaogang's hand, but her eyes stayed on her own hand. She stopped at the last step and her expression became nervous.

She thought of the red earrings hanging on Shuitian’s hand. That hand was even more tender than hers, and the red earrings were glowing in the night.

Just like that, she stopped moving abruptly, as if touching Yu Xiaogang would be a betrayal of all she had given to Shui Tian.

Yu Xiaogang, who saw all her actions with his own eyes, felt his heart sink to the bone. He wanted to take the initiative to hold her hand, but his dignity of many years did not allow him to do so.

The two looked at each other in silence, as if there was a wall separating them.

Liu Erlong asked herself in her heart.

Whether she wanted to reconcile with Yu Xiaogang or pursue the happiness that was within her reach, she didn't know that the answer to the question had already come when she had the doubt in her heart.

If you really love someone that much, how can there be any problems?

If Shui Tian were here at this moment, he would probably leave quietly. It would be best if he never saw her again in this life.

Yu Xiaogang calmed down and said, "I don't really want to come here with Flanders, but those kids can't. They need a good environment for study and practice."

He never mentioned that he still had feelings for Liu Erlong, and this was exactly what allowed him to gain an advantage over Liu Erlong.

"How long do you want to hide from me, Xiaogang? Can't the relationship between us overcome the opinions of outsiders? You know I don't care about those things." Liu Erlong said aggrievedly.

"But I care about you!" Yu Xiaogang said in a heavy tone. A man like him would never speak loudly, and a sudden increase in his tone would make the heartbeat of those who cared about him quicken and make them panic.

Just like now, Liu Erlong's pupils shrank and his eyes looked aggrieved and powerless.

Seeing his beloved woman showing such an expression, Yu Xiaogang felt a pain in his heart and said sadly, "I can't let you bear such pressure, and the family will not allow us to be together."

"For me? If you really wanted to do it for me you wouldn't have just left! Xiaogang, as long as you and I persist, the family will accept us sooner or later! At worst we can just run away. There's no place in the world that we can't go." Liu Erlong asked unwillingly, with tears in her eyes.

However, her questioning had no effect. Yu Xiaogang would never accept his cowardice. He just lowered his head and replied, "What's the point of saying this now? We are separated after all."

"But you're here again, right in front of me like this! Xiaogang, what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?"

As she spoke, Liu Erlong couldn't hold back her tears. She squatted on the ground helplessly, covering her face and crying.

If it were any other man at this moment, he might hug her and comfort her softly, but Yu Xiaogang wouldn't do that. He wanted to do so but he was afraid of a guy named Shuitian.

He smiled bitterly, as if filled with endless sorrow, and looked up at the sky. The black night sky was as gloomy as his mood at the moment.

"You have found someone who loves you more. Erlong, let's leave it at that. If my presence affects you, it's okay. I will leave."

Yu Xiaogang burst into tears, feeling as if he had lost his heart, but he held his head high to make himself look less embarrassed.

"Yes, you are right!"

"Shui Tian loves me very much. No one in this world loves me more than him. But Xiaogang, are you really sure you want to give me to Xiaotian?" Liu Erlong stood up instantly, with an unprecedented coldness on her face.

But she still saw Yu Xiaogang's tears and knew his true thoughts. However, she must know the answer, even if it made her suffer.

Yu Xiaogang didn't hesitate, he wiped his face with his sleeve and the tears disappeared, "We are not suitable for each other, you are my cousin. Shuitian is more suitable for you, we should see each other less in the future."

"Good~"

"I see."

The back view as he turned around was so desolate, as if he had lost all his strength in an instant, and he managed to walk away step by step, barely holding on to avoid falling to the ground.

Yu Xiaogang stared at her figure as she walked further and further away. He felt depressed and his eyes became more ferocious.

It’s all Shuitian. If it weren’t for Shuitian, he could have continued to keep Liu Erlong hanging!
Sooner or later, Liu Erlong and this academy will belong to him.

He didn't dare to answer even if he wanted to compete fairly with Shui Tian, ​​although he didn't think he would lose.

But he valued his life, and he was afraid that Shui Tian was hiding somewhere, and if he said something wrong he would die.

When he died, no matter how much Liu Erlong hated Shui Tian, ​​he would not be able to resist the erosion of time.

Even he didn't know that Liu Erlong, who left with heavy steps, gradually figured things out in her mind.

She is greedy for everything Shui Tian has given her and can't forget the old him.

Liu Erlong did not deny that she also fell in love with Shuitian, but her love was not enough~
She asked herself over and over again in her heart, will she be able to let go of the past after being truly together with Shui Tian?
A person's heart belongs to her own. When you try to restrain it, you must be prepared to be bitten back.

Often the more restrictions there are, the more violent the outbreak will be.

"I am not a good woman, Xiaotian, I hope you can forgive me."
