After my cute childhood friend cheated on me, the school beauty begged me for forgiveness.

This is a very inconspicuous small classroom on the first floor. It has not been renovated, no classes are held here, and the wall behind the classroom is somewhat peeling off.

Ye Qingyu slowed down her breathing and squatted down to see what Bai Xiaowan was paying attention to.

In the corner of the wall, several small ants migrated in groups to another hole, like a string of small trains slowly finding the direction of "home".

On the way to migration, there will always be a few ants that are unable to move when they encounter a piece of peeling wall skin. They rush around in circles but cannot keep up with the long team in front...

At this moment.

Bai Xiaowan, who had a pout on her face, would gently move the wall with her fingers. It wasn't until the little ant caught up with the large army in front that her slightly frowning brows relaxed, and her curved eyebrows were like two clouds embedded in her face.

Judging from her gentle eyes, she seems to regard this matter that no one cares about as a very meaningful job.

It makes sense to Ant, and it might also make sense to her.

Just seeing this scene.

Ye Qingyu's mood, which was originally as agitated as if burning on a raging flame, gradually calmed down.

Ye Qingyu thought, her first impression of this girl was that of quietness. How could there be such a quiet girl in the world?

She noticed that there was a thin layer of calluses on the back of Bai Xiaowan's hands... This was a symptom of long-term hard work...

Such a girl...why would she be the third party she guessed?

Isn't everything like what you imagined?

"...Senior Bai Xiaowan, I'm heartbroken, can you chat with me for a while?"

Ye Qingyu spoke first.

Because she didn't know if she would see tomorrow morning if she kept squatting here watching Bai Xiaowan help the ants move.

It was when Bai Xiaowan was startled by the sudden sound behind her that she raised her head slightly in panic and embarrassment, saw the person clearly and then subconsciously lowered her head.

Ye Qingyu saw the gentle face that matched her soft voice, the peach blossom eyes that seemed to be thickened with sparkling water waves, and the shiny chin that exuded peace everywhere.

Ye Qingyu suddenly became determined.

It is possible that Gu Chen would be attracted to such a good-looking girl, such a girl who could make a girl like her feel protective.

And she saw Bai Xiaowan's homework notebook on the table.

A white coat was placed there.

She knew it, it was worn by Su Rouer in high school...

"I, I don't understand love breakup very well!"

When Bai Xiaowan answered the strange girl at a loss, but still didn't get a response, the air became quiet.

Ye Qingyu thought blankly:

"Will Gu Chen be the scumbag I imagined?"

In fact, she really thought that Gu Chen would be a scumbag.

Because this means that Gu Chen may be able to slander her once.

But finally.

Bai Xiaowan explained to her that this guess was wrong.

It was so wrong that I even guessed it wrong a long time ago!

That afternoon.

Ye Qingyu talked about many things before with Gu Chen.

She discovered that Bai Xiaowan came from a very ordinary rural family. She often played dancing machines and claw machines, which this dull-looking girl could not understand.

But she didn't show the slightest bit of impatience, and still whispered "Oh~" to show that she was listening.

This girl likes to watch ants move and can watch them for a long time.

This girl would later wash her apples and leave the bigger apples to her, and she would still smile peacefully when she ate the smallest apple.

Listen carefully to what others are saying.

On this table are the coats and clothes Su Rouer wore in high school, a girl who is gentle to the core...

Facing Bai Xiaowan's clear and bright peach blossom eyes, Ye Qingyu didn't know how to ask the question she wanted to ask.

So, she retreated to the next best thing and asked about other things in a familiar manner.

Originally, Bai Xiaowan would not tell a girl she had known for less than two hours the problems at home, her own difficulties, and the help that classmate Gu Chen had given her...

This is not something she cannot say, but she is afraid that it will affect other people's mood.

She is such a girl who is always afraid of affecting others and always afraid of making others unhappy.

can.

After Ye Qingyu suddenly cried.

Bai Xiaowan was still very worried and stammered out what she wanted to know.

It turns out.

Pretending to cry still helps.

Ye Qingyu knew that Bai Xiaowan felt deeply helpless last year when she followed her mother to a crowded hospital in a big city to treat her seriously ill sister...

When faced with the debt left by my father’s early death and my grandma’s burial, that feeling of suffocation was like putting the body into the deep sea...

After learning that Gu Chen helped her raise money for her sister's treatment through a short video at Jinshui Paradise.

The warm and satisfying feeling, like the sweet juice of an apple blooming in the mouth, also spread into Ye Qingyu's body subtly...

Especially what she wants to know most...

Bai Xiaowan said: "Classmate Gu Chen told me at the beginning of school that he has a girlfriend."

After learning the truth, Ye Qingyu didn't know how she should feel.

It turns out that Gu Chen is not the two-person boat she imagined.

Because.

Gu Chen told Bai Xiaowan from the beginning that he had a girlfriend.

This is completely different from Ye Qingyu raising fish as a "single" in high school.

In front of a girl with Bai Xiaowan's personality, he announced that he had a girlfriend.

This cut off the possibility of Gu Chen falling in love with her.

Or take a step back and speculate on other things that Ye Qingyu doesn't understand...

This obviously also cuts off the possibility of Bai Xiaowan falling in love with Gu Chen.

She would not think about hurting others, nor would she think about making anyone feel a little wronged. Even if she really fell in love with a girl, she would never take that step...

Gu Chen seemed to just want to help her.

That's it.

Ye Qingyu suddenly felt extremely bitter.

Even in this matter, Gu Chen's approach was definitely not like deliberately raising fish like he did in high school... His choice from beginning to end seemed to be Su Rouer.

It turns out there are no scumbags...

It turns out that I was the only one who could deceive other people's feelings in high school.

The mistakes I made back then, I want to undo now but I can't pay them back or start from now on.

"No matter what matters...how come there is such a big gap between me and him..."

Ye Qingyu really cried this time.

Since she entered college, she has seldom cried in front of others. The last time she was rejected by Gu Chen, she cried very quietly.

But this time she was by Bai Xiaowan's side. For some reason, she always felt particularly at ease, so at ease that she could cry with confidence.

"Xiaowan, you said..."

"If Gu Chen is in danger, you need to give... everything to help him."

"...What will you do?"

This was what Ye Qingyu, who had finally had enough crying, asked with a slight choke on her eyes as she stared at her red eyes and lay on the table to watch Bai Xiaowan write her homework.

She wondered desperately.

What should this girl who Gu Chen calls "very good" do when faced with her current situation?

"I, I don't seem to know. As long as classmate Gu Chen is fine, it doesn't matter what happens to me!"

This was Bai Xiaowan's answer.

In fact, she gave the answer that night when the police station spent all her money on helping to get a taxi.

It seems that no matter what time it is, no matter what she faces, this girl is so stupid, so simple-minded, so ignorant of thinking about herself...

Ye Qingyu silently thanked Bai Xiaowan and walked to the door of the classroom with heavy steps.

She can hear her own voice:

"I'm not you!"

"He didn't do anything to help me!"

"He doesn't even like me anymore!"

"Why should I help him at such a price..."

"Even if I helped...but him, would he still be willing to look back and see me like that...dirty person?"
