When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

"Then why don't you use it?"

Luo Qingyan retorted without backing down.

"I never imagined he would be in a so-called boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with you for money."

Why don't you think so?

"Because...because I know his family used to be very well-off..."

"The conditions are very good?"

Luo Qingyan sneered and asked this question in return.

"If he's so well-off, would he be going around doing odd jobs?"

"Working as a waiter in a restaurant, bowing and scraping, or doing manual labor unloading heavy goods in a supermarket, with no time to rest, you finish one job and then go to do another."

Have you seen these before?

"I've seen it, I've seen it all."

"That's why I feel sorry for him, I can't bear to see him like this."

"Only when he got to university did I find a way to truly and reasonably help him."

"That's why he now has the opportunity to come out and have fun with us."

"I'm trying to help him in the way that shows my love and care for him. Is that what you call cheating?"

Luo Qingyan's words pierced Mu Anqi's heart like a sharp blade.

Her tantrums subsided as a result.

Tears streamed from her dazed eyes.

"I have no idea......"

All I know is that his parents are divorced...

She spoke weakly, her heart heavy with sorrow.

The dizziness caused by the alcohol gradually disappeared.

Hearing Mu Anqi's words, Luo Qingyan felt even more heartbroken.

Your own family is a complete mess, and you still want to help Xiaoyu...

I originally thought he just came from a poor family, but I never expected that he had problems with his family as well.

He never confided these words to himself.

Is it really okay to keep being strong?

You're so kind to others, but what about yourself?

"He's quite happy with me, so you should give up on him."

"If you're not good to him, plenty of others will be, at least I will."

Luo Qingyan's voice was trembling with tears as she spoke.

She looked stubbornly at Mu Anqi, unaware that tears were already streaming down her face.

"don't want......"

Mu Anqi gritted her teeth and grabbed Luo Qingyan's wrist.

"I can give him what he wants, I can't live without him..."

Where were you when he needed help the most?

Luo Qingyan shook off her hand and said coldly.

"I......"

Mu Anqi wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat like stones.

After struggling for a long time, all that remained were humble words.

"sorry......"

"Can you give him back to me? I'll pay more, any amount, just name your price..."

"What do you mean by 'giving it back to you'?"

"I've known him since we were little; he's my childhood sweetheart..."

"Is that all there is to their relationship?"

Luo Qingyan snorted coldly.

"Don't you know he hates you right now?"

"I know... I've already changed..."

"But he's my boyfriend now, so please stop bothering me."

Luo Qingyan sighed softly and wiped away the tears that had accumulated in the corners of her eyes.

These tears were shed for Bai Yu.

"But I really can't live without him..."

Mu Anqi spoke in a low voice, still relentlessly pressing the issue.

"If he leaves... then no one will listen to my nonsense."

"I was really unhappy during the years I studied abroad."

"Oh no, it should be that I'm very unhappy without him."

"When he was around, he would always patiently listen to me say some nonsensical things."

"Even if I tell him I saw a really ugly dog ​​on the street, he will patiently listen to me finish."

"If I'm bullied, he'll be the first to stand by my side, regardless of who's right or wrong."

"He's already everywhere in my life, please don't take him away from me..."

Mu Anqi wiped away her tears, feeling extremely distressed.

"Going abroad wasn't my own decision. Now that I'm back, can you give him back to me?"

"Don't take him away from me..."

"Please..."

"I'm begging you..."

Mu Anqi became increasingly humble, losing all of her usual cheerful demeanor.

Luo Qingyan listened to these words through gritted teeth the entire time.

He's already been hurt so much, I don't trust anyone anymore.

"Let's not even talk about whether I'd be willing or not. Would he even be willing?"

"he......"

"He hates you, you know that!"

"The reason you were able to come to the park is because he's such a nice person, he couldn't refuse you, right?"

"Do you still think you two are childhood sweethearts?"

"He couldn't bear to say hurtful things, so I said them for him."

After saying that, Luo Qingyan stood up, picked up her things, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she turned back to look at Mu Anqi one last time.

"Now that you're awake, there's no need for me to stay here and take care of you."

"Call your family right away and have them come pick you up."

"Bai Yu and I... are truly in love. I like him, and he likes me too. It's just that he doesn't like being disturbed, so we haven't made our relationship public."

"As for you..."

"Those who are missed can never be brought back to the past. If you've missed them, then so be it."

After saying that, Luo Qingyan walked out of the hot pot restaurant without looking back.

At the same time, she clutched her chest in discomfort.

That was heartache for Bai Yu, making her feel so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.

No wonder his sister fell for him.

This is a single-parent family... and the older brother is so responsible.

They shouldered all the burdens.

If I were his sister, I probably would have done the same.

......

Inside the hot pot restaurant, only a dejected Mu Anqi remained.

She seemed completely lost, numbly pressing the buttons on her phone.

"Uncle Li, please help me..."

"The address is..."

After making the call, she numbly put the phone down from her ear.

Her phone's screen saver was a childhood photo of her and Bai Yu, both wearing the same school uniform.

Back then, he was sunny and cheerful, with a clear smile on his clean face.

However, the expression in the photo looks a little flustered.

At that moment, Mu Anqi put her arm around his shoulder, just like a good buddy.

But she couldn't help but steal glances at Bai Yu.

This photo is her favorite.

This photo was what sustained her through those years studying abroad.

......

"Bai Yu! Are you planning to go to No. 2 Middle School?"

Mu Anqi chuckled and ran to Bai Yu's side.

"Yes, I didn't study very hard for the high school entrance exam, but my sister should be able to get into the top high school."

Bai Yu sighed softly and touched the delicate flower with her hand.

He glanced at his watch and continued speaking.

"I should probably go home soon too. Mom made lots of delicious food."

"Okay..."

Mu Anqi pouted, looking unhappy.

Bai Yu noticed this subtle emotion.

He blinked his curious eyes, tilted his head, and asked her.

"Are you coming to my house for dinner?"

"My mom probably won't agree..."

She spoke softly, pointing with two fingers.

"Anqi, dinner's ready! Oh, Xiaoyu, you're here too?"

Mother Mu smiled and walked out of the back door into the garden in the backyard.

"Hello, Auntie!"

"Xiao Yu is so polite, Anqi, you should learn from her."

"Hmph~"

"The weather's nice today, shall I take a picture of you?"

Mu's mother smiled and took out her camera.

"Okay, Auntie."

Bai Yu nodded, stood up straight, and looked like a soldier.

Seeing him like this, Mu's mother couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Xiao Yu, don't be so tense!"

"oh!"

"Angie, you guys stand closer together."

Upon hearing this, Mu Anqi took small steps and moved a few steps closer to Bai Yu.

Looking at his profile, his delicate face still had a slight rosy hue.

Especially his eyes, which he couldn't help but avoid looking away.

whee......

Mu Anqi smiled inwardly, a mischievous idea forming in her mind.

"Come on, look at the camera!"

"Smile!"

Suddenly, Mu Anqi put her arm around Bai Yu's shoulder and then made a peace sign with her fingers.

At the same time, her eyes looked at Bai Yu.

I saw the fear and panic on that delicate face, along with a slight blush.

Hehe~ I'm so happy!
