It wasn't until the deal fell through that I discovered all the young ladies were yanderes.

"Actually, we don't need to stand so close. There aren't that many people here yet." Su Yu quietly moved a step to the side.

Su Yu was right; there weren't many people here. It was probably because the fountain was about to start spraying, and most of the people who came had already gone to sit in the best spots.

Su Yu looked around and realized there really weren't any good spots left. He glanced at An Ningying, who was still furtively trying to get closer, and asked:

"Shall we go to a spot a little further out? Like that spot. We should be able to see from there too, though the view might be a bit poor. But there really aren't any good spots right now."

An Ningying had no objections and nodded, her ponytail bobbing up and down.

She still had one last sip of her milk tea left, clutching it tightly in her hand. Su Yu didn't bother to stop her, nor did he tell her to finish it and throw it away.

It tasted really good and I finished it pretty quickly.

The spot Su Yu pointed to was good; there weren't many people around, so it was relatively quiet. However, the view was really poor; it was arguably the worst spot available.

But Su Yu didn't care; he just wanted to see if this fountain was different from the one in his memory on a whim.

Although this fountain is not the one I saw back then, and although the person who watched the fountain with me is gone forever.

But I still want to see the fountain, just looking at it is enough.

Su Yu and An Ningying took a slightly longer route to reach that location, and because it was quite a distance, it took them some time to walk there.

There would be too many people if they just walked over, and Su Yu and An Ningying really didn't want to squeeze through.

Both of them were afraid of being taken advantage of.

If An Ningying were to be taken advantage of by someone else, Su Yu would also feel angry. He didn't want An Ningying to be taken advantage of by strangers either; perhaps it was the possessiveness in a man's DNA at work.

If you force your way through this crowd with An Ningying, the chances of her being taken advantage of are quite high, since there are really a lot of people here and it's very chaotic.

When they arrived there, there were only a few middle-aged couples leaning against the railing waiting for the fountain. Su Yu and An Ningying felt somewhat out of place there.

That makes sense, though. What young couple would squeeze into a deserted spot? Who wouldn't want to snag a good spot for such a romantic moment?

But the key reason is probably that there aren't that many people coming here to see the fountain.

Behind this place is a grove of trees. Just a short walk away you'll see a swing, but the view from the swing is worse, and it's a double swing, so those middle-aged people probably wouldn't be so embarrassed to use it.

That swing is really pretty, it's white and can seat two people. I wish Su Yu and I could sit on it...

An Ningying glanced at Yu Yu from before, her eyes lighting up. She tugged at Su Yu, pointed at the swing, and her face clearly showed her true feelings.

I want to! I'll go!

Su Yu glanced at An Ningying, who had a longing look on her face. Su Yu said, "The view is even worse over there."

An Ningying quickly said, "I don't care, as long as I can see a little bit, that's fine."

Anyway, the legend doesn't say that you have to see the entire fountain; it's not enough to only see a part of it!

Besides, the legends about that kind of thing are probably just fake anyway. As long as there's one nearby, that's enough. And this is a double swing!

Su Yu actually knew what An Ningying was thinking. The reason he didn't want to go to the swing was simple: he was afraid that An Ningying would give him a surprise and treat him like a perk.

This kind of benefit isn't free; the more she takes it, the more attached she becomes.

"Don't go."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade An Ningying, Su Yu directly refused. An Ningying blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "1000 yuan?"

Su Yu: ...

A few minutes later, the two walked to the swing and sat down. As soon as they sat down, An Ningying intimately took Su Yu's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

There was also an elderly lady selling ice cream nearby. The lady seemed very talkative, and when she saw Su Yu and An Ningying being so affectionate, her face lit up with joy. She started chatting with An Ningying:

"Little girl, you've come to watch the fountain with your boyfriend too?"

An Ningying's eyes lit up as soon as she heard the word "boyfriend." She sat up straight and said to the old lady, "Yes, yes, I came with my boyfriend."

Su Yu glanced at An Ningying, then at the old lady, and explained, "She's not my girlfriend, just a friend."

The old lady glanced at An Ningying holding Su Yu's arm, then at Su Yu's disgusted expression and An Ningying's aggrieved look, and instantly understood a lot.

Is this girl pursuing this boy?

Seriously, are young men's standards this high these days? This girl is as beautiful as a fairy, isn't that enough? Where can you find one like that?

But the old lady didn't know that Su Yu had two other beauties like An Ningying by his side...

Someone you don't know well on the surface, but you know them inside and out.

One is his ex-girlfriend, and he's always thinking about getting back into her place.

"Oh dear, oh dear, that's just a matter of time, hahaha, young man, if you miss out on a girl like this, you'll never find another one like her."

An Ningying pursed her lips and chuckled to herself. Su Yu glanced at the kind old lady but was too embarrassed to refute her.

Seeing that Su Yu didn't refute her, An Ningying smiled even more happily. She took Su Yu's arm and started chatting with the old lady. The old lady kept telling An Ningying stories about her past with her husband.

An Ningying listened with a smile, but Su Yu was too lazy to listen and kept looking in the direction of the fountain. In the end, the old lady seemed to give An Ningying an ice cream, but Su Yu didn't pay much attention to it.

The fountain show has started.

The colorful lights illuminated the water jets in various colors, spraying them high into the air; it was quite a sight.

Su Yu was a little dazed, remembering the fountain from back then. It didn't seem as beautiful as the one before.

What is the reason?

The fountains had different colors back then.

Su Yu remembered the things she used to say.

"There's a rainbow after the rain, right? It's okay if we suffer for a couple of days. Once my sister gets into a good university, there are scholarships and grants available. Then we can live a good life."

But you didn't have time to go to university.

...

"Don't cry, I'm here."

But you're not here anymore.

...

"Su Yu! Don't be mean to Hua Hua! I picked her up too! She's your sister!"

"...Isn't this a cat?"

"That's your sister too!"

...

Su Yu suddenly felt something cool touch his face. An Ningying handed him an ice cream, which was also one of those two-in-one ice creams.

"Here, have some ice cream. Half for each of us, it'll be just right."

...

When the fountain show ended, Su Mengkong pulled An Ningying to her feet. Perhaps because of the old lady next to them, An Ningying didn't dare to be too presumptuous this time, and only linked arms with her.

The old lady watched An Ningying and Su Yu about to leave and said with some regret, "Oh dear, you're leaving already."

The old lady and An Ningying had a really nice chat, and they were still talking even when the fountain was erupting, except that An Ningying's eyes were only on the fountain at that time.

Su Yu glanced at An Ningying, who seemed reluctant to leave. She looked excited, as if she wanted to chat with the old lady for ages. Su Yu gently tugged at her sleeve and said:

"Yes, otherwise we won't be able to get a taxi if we leave too late. She doesn't like taking the bus, and if we don't leave now, we'll be late."

The old lady glanced at the group and nodded. If they all left now, they wouldn't be able to find a car. So she simply told Su Yu to take good care of An Ningying.

Su Yu smiled but didn't reply, while An Ningying smiled even more happily. The two left, and the old lady there also smiled happily.

Most people were still sitting there, not leaving as soon as the fountain show ended, so although Su Yu and An Ningying's departing figures weren't very noticeable, they were still visible to others.

The fountain is held once a year, and quite a few students from the school come to watch it. They all arrive early and sit in the center.

The two girls sat there and watched the fountain, then realized it was nothing special. Although it was pretty, there was no need to wait almost an hour.

For a moment they were a little disappointed and didn't want to sit there in the wind anymore. They were about to leave when they glanced at the nearest exit and then froze.

"Hey, is that Chairman An?"

"Yes, that person next to me looks familiar too. You browse forums a lot, do you know him?"

"Now that you mention it... Oh dear, that's Su Yu, isn't it? I couldn't see him clearly because of the dim light. Isn't that Lin Qingmeng's boyfriend? Why is he with Chairman An?"

"Oh dear, don't think about that now, hurry up, take pictures, take pictures! They'll be gone soon, hurry up!"

"All done, all done. Should we post it on the forum?"

"Go ahead and send them, charge a fee, we'll make a killing even if we only charge one yuan per person!"

"Okay, okay, really... how did those two end up together..."

The two were a little excited, feeling like they had discovered some earth-shattering scoop, so they sat down and edited the copy.

The school forum was initially created by the news department, where they just posted some trivial things. However, as more and more students arrived, they also started creating their own content.

It was somewhat like a more advanced version of a confession wall. Later, the school also stepped in and sent people to manage the forum properly, and even created a special software for it, which led to a surge in the number of students.

Later on, most people started coming here to have fun, since it really has everything: gossip, study materials, school food reviews, all sorts of things...

Initially, the fees were for official school-issued learning materials, which were supposed to be charged for, but the school was charging a lower price. Later…

Once the fees start charging, things get a little out of control.

The school's leadership is quite open-minded; they feel that this approach doesn't actually have any major drawbacks and can even stimulate some of the students' spending habits.

So they didn't ban it... and even allowed others to send paid items.

The management team had been in charge for a long time, and now they've become one of our own...

Going too far or involving principles is definitely unacceptable, but this kind of gossip…

The reviewers also want to see it, so please post more...

Furthermore, you are allowed to watch a portion first if you want to pay. If you don't want to pay after watching, you don't have to. If you feel that the content is not suitable for payment, you can also report it, and our own people will review and handle it.

So this trend...

I just got up for no reason.
