Chapter 121 Together? (Seeking votes!)

For Su Yiming, this journey of his mind couldn't be more nakedly revealed.

This is the reason why he has been suffering so much during this period; he feels that he is simply the most affectionate person in the world.

With such excellent qualities and good looks, he and she should be the most compatible couple. It's just that they were not in the same class, so they lacked many opportunities to communicate and fewer stories to unfold.

Therefore, a small error can lead to a huge difference.

He thought that if he spoke his true feelings, she should at least be moved. But he never expected that after choosing to speak everything at this moment, sacrificing everything to end the 'wrong' relationship, she would only give him this one sentence?

"Are you stupid?"

It can no longer be simply described as hurting someone; it's downright betrayal.

They betrayed their own sincerity, completely unaware of the torment and pain they had endured these past few days, the inner struggles they had gone through, and the feelings that led them to make such a choice.

How could she say that about herself!

An overwhelming sense of powerlessness and overwhelming humiliation nearly consumed Su Yiming.

But Cai Yan was still not satisfied. She looked at the boy in front of her with disgust and said...

"First of all, who you date and who you break up with has nothing to do with me. Even if you say it's because of me, I won't feel any gratitude. Because I have absolutely no feelings for you. Secondly, don't act like you're suffering. It's annoying me to think so much about it and blame it on you, you know?"

"Cai Yan, you..."

A feeling of embarrassment and anger was creeping over her because of the other person's overly blunt words. She wasn't leaving herself any room to maneuver, let alone any semblance of decency or saving face. None of the blows she had suffered in her life had been as devastating as the two casually uttered sentences from this girl.

Just when he felt he was about to lose control because of his overwhelming emotions—

"Isn't this our school's basketball prodigy?"

For no apparent reason, an annoying sound appeared.

Several people looked towards the entrance of the stairwell next to them and saw a boy with his hands tucked into his school uniform jacket appear before them.

Su Yiming frowned instantly. What kind of mocking nickname was this? It seemed that someone had indeed said it before, in the comments section of his Douyin video, but to say it now was blatant sarcasm! Besides, he had lost the ball game with this boy before!
What Little Prince? In his words, he's just a clown!
Upon hearing this strange opening, Cai Yan, who had just been extremely impatient, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What a nutcase! Where did this streetball prince come from?

Lulu was even more direct, "Pfft. What the heck? Goose goose goose goose goose."

He laughed out his signature goose-like honking.

Su Yiming, his face flushed even redder, glared at Gu Huai, so angry that he was almost trembling all over.

"Gu Huai! What are you doing here?!"

Gu Huai looked at the other person innocently, "Isn't this the hallway? When did you rent it out? Can't I even walk by?"

"you!"

Su Yiming wanted to say something, but the other person just leaned lazily against the wall and looked at him.

This attitude seems to be a natural advantage, with a condescending air about it.

He didn't know how this bastard could have such an aura in front of him, but clearly, the atmosphere was completely ruined, and he had no reason to do anything, making him feel utterly pale.

So he could only act like a villain whose entire plan had failed and who had to temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp edge, leaving behind a standard, salvageable statement.

"You wait!"

He turned and left.

Their steps were unusually hurried.

Gu Huai didn't seem to care much about this. After all, any confession carries the risk of failure, regardless of what the other person did or how they did it. If someone doesn't like you, they just don't like you; there's no point in arguing about it.
Cai Yan was too bold; she immediately asked the other person if they were an idiot.

Is this something a normal girl would say? But it seems that Cai Yan has always been like this, even after she became a calmer, more mature and more capable Cai Yan, her essential, straightforward personality has not changed.

"Oh, is Xiao Gu here to be the hero and save the damsel in distress?"

Lulu looked at Gu Huai with a mischievous grin, wondering where this girl got so many nicknames from, and now she was calling him "Little Gu."

Cai Yan glared at her best friend with annoyance before casually glancing at the boy.

"What are you here for?"

Gu Huai shrugged. "Going to the restroom, just passing by."

"Get lost! This is the women's restroom. Are you going to use the women's restroom?"

"Can't I have gone the wrong way? I've never had a good sense of direction."

"nerve!"

Cai Yan dared to curse anyone, but this time her voice was clearly different from the idiot she had called Su Yiming before; you could tell from her tone.

Lulu couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"Um...you guys keep chatting, I really need to go to the restroom." "Hey, wait a minute, aren't you coming with me?"

Cai Yan called out to the girl who had turned around, but Lulu didn't even turn her head. "Stop pretending, okay? You should cherish what I've done for you~"

As she spoke, she gracefully departed, much like a heroine who had kept her achievements hidden.

Gu Huai was completely baffled.

At this age, both boys and girls are quite immature and eccentric.

Cai Yan didn't chase after him. She stood in the shadows with her arms crossed, refusing to look at Gu Huai.

But even though she didn't speak, some things were written on her expression at that moment.

'I'm angry, let's see how you appease me!'

Gu Huai was certainly not good at coaxing girls.

Besides, it was all because of a joke. But thinking about it, the other person is also sensitive at that age. People's feelings can't really be shared. You never know how hurtful your unintentional words can be. I do bear some responsibility.

Anyway, I'm used to being submissive to her, so what's one more time? After all, you're the respected Team Leader Cai.

"Are you still angry?"

Gu Huai asked with a smile.

Cai Yan snorted, "Who's angry with you? Don't be so narcissistic, okay?"

The word "narcissism" seems to have little to do with oneself; at most, it refers to self-righteousness.

He chuckled. "It was just a joke, it's not that serious, is it?"

"Who cares about you? Do you have something to say or not? If not, I'm going back to the classroom."

She seemed a little impatient.

"Aren't you going to the toilet?"

"I'll go up to you, my foot!"

It wasn't about going to the toilet; she just had a lot to complain about with her friend about this increasingly 'inflated' boy.

Who knew we'd run into that idiot Su Yiming on the way? And that bastard even saw us.

What bad luck! Nothing went right all day!

She was feeling irritated when she suddenly heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice coming from the quiet hallway.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think things through when I made that joke."

She looked up at Gu Huai, seemingly in disbelief.

Did I hear wrong? This bastard actually apologized? And he even seemed so sincere?

In the dim light, the boy's gaze was almost too intense to meet, and she felt her cheeks burning.

That simple sentence made it seem like all the pent-up anger I had just felt couldn't be released.

She even felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?

Why offer such a sincere apology? It puts a lot of pressure on the other person!

"Well, I'll let it go this time. But if you talk to me like that again, I won't forgive you so easily, you understand?"

I realized that my tone at the beginning was too soft and didn't sound like myself at all, so I turned up my voice and it started to crack.

However, it seems that Gu Huai did not notice this.

His smile was gentle, but his eyes made me inexplicably uneasy.

"Well, I see."

"Um..." Cai Yan wasn't used to him talking like that, and even missed his joking manner. She awkwardly reached up and scratched her high ponytail, then awkwardly changed the subject, "How did the exam go today?"

"do not know."

"Ok?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I should be fine with you."

"W-What did you say?!"
