Chapter 334 A Young Girl's Melancholy

Although Ai Liang keeps his distance from girls, he doesn't necessarily refuse all invitations.

If that were the case, he wouldn't have been able to go to the library and bookstore on weekends to tutor Yang Xingyue.

It cannot be completely ruled out that Ai Liang went out with other girls.

Yue Qihua thought to herself.

[...Qianhua Experimental Middle School's key classes don't have weekends off, so who do I go out with alone?] —Ai Liang

Ma Yu was preparing to reply.

But then Fang Xiaoxiao hummed twice and her hands flew across the keyboard.

Ma Yu sensed something was wrong, but by the time he tried to stop Fang Xiaoxiao, it was too late.

【Didn't you say that only the top classes get extra lessons? Dating doesn't necessarily mean you have to be with a classmate... Or is it that when you mention dating, Ai Liang, you subconsciously think of someone in your class?】—Fang Xiaoxiao.

[...]—Ai Liang.

[...]—Yue Qihua.

Very well, as usual, Fang Xiaoxiao killed everyone, including the referee and the audience.

They successfully dominated the entire game.

Looking at Fang Xiaoxiao, who was beaming with pride beside her.

Ma Yu was on the verge of tears.

My little darling, the way you talk hasn't changed at all!
Ai Liang was speechless.

How come your IQ suddenly becomes so high when you talk about gossip?

Fang Xiaoxiao's words cannot be said to be entirely right, but they cannot be said to be entirely wrong either.

Because just now, Ai Liang had indeed seen Ye Qing's image in his mind.

But this is not a scene from a casual date.

When Ai Liang went grocery shopping in the evening, she would occasionally run into Ye Qing at the supermarket, and they also passed by each other on their way to and from school.

When it comes to going out, she's definitely the first person I think of.

After all, Ye Qing was the only woman who frequently acted with Ai Liang.

But none of this has anything to do with dating.

Just like a few months ago, when it came to going out, Ai Liang would definitely have thought of Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue first.

【Why are you all silent again?】—Fang Xiaoxiao.

[Where's Xingyue? Why hasn't she posted anything for so long?] — Fang Xiaoxiao.

It took Yue Qihua a while to come to her senses.

[She is studying recipes in the kitchen.] — Yue Qihua.

All I can say is that Fang Xiaoxiao's words were a big blow to her.

Although Yue Qihua is highly intelligent, she rarely overthinks or interprets matters of the heart.

If Fang Xiaoxiao hadn't pointed it out, she would never have thought in that direction.

But once it's revealed...

No, no!
How long has Ai Liang been in Qianhua City?
Given his personality, how could he possibly have friends so quickly that they could go out together?

Yue Qihua hugged her pillow and rolled around on the sofa.

She showed none of the usual authority she usually had as a boss.

"Ugh~ Ugh~ Ugh~ Ugh!"

Yue Qihua buried her head in the pillow, emitting meaningless low moans, as if trying to release the depression and unease in her heart.

As the muffled sounds grew louder, Yang Xingyue, who was in the kitchen, was drawn out.

"What's wrong, Huahua?"

Yang Xingyue took off her gloves and walked to the sofa to ask.

Yue Qihua didn't say anything. She continued to bury her head in the pillow and then pointed to the computer screen with her right hand.

Yang Xingyue scrolled through the chat history: "Just because of this?"

"Ah."

Yue Qihua hummed in agreement, but still didn't look up.

Seeing Yue Qihua in this state, Yang Xingyue sat down next to her on the sofa.

The long-standing positions of the two seem to have been reversed.

This feeling is very amazing.

"Are you worried that Ai Liang will go out with other girls?" Yang Xingyue asked.

“Who…who’s worried about that!” Yue Qihua retorted, showing half her face.

"Are you really not worried at all?" Yang Xingyue continued to press.

“…It’s only a little bit.” Yue Qihua looked away.

Yang Xingyue comforted him, "Don't worry, Ai Liang has never been the kind of person to hide things. If he really has a girlfriend, he will definitely tell us."

“I know his personality very well.”

Yue Qihua hugged the pillow to her chest and curled up her knees: "I just... I just feel sad when I think about Ai Liang possibly going out on a date with other girls."

It's common for Yue Qihua to have these thoughts, as she's only just beginning to confront her own feelings.

Both Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue were complete novices when it came to matters of the heart.

Although they have different hobbies, their abilities in dealing with relationships are not significantly different.

Yue Qihua likes playing video games.

Yang Xingyue enjoys watching romance dramas and reading novels, and often discusses these topics with other girls.

Through constant exposure, I learned a lot of related knowledge.

From this point of view alone, Yang Xingyue has far more experience in dating than Yue Qihua.

In addition, Ai Liang frequently declined Yang Xingyue's various invitations.

Logically, the resistance should be maximized.

However, when she graduated, seeing a bunch of girls confessing their love to Ai Liang, she still felt very uncomfortable.

This has nothing to do with IQ or EQ; it's human instinct.

Yang Xingyue wanted to offer some words of comfort, but after imagining the scenario Yue Qihua had described, she herself became depressed as well.

She shook her head: "Huahua, don't think about those things. Instead of thinking about those messy things, we should think about what gift to give Ai Liang for her birthday."

His birthday is coming up soon, I absolutely can't miss it this time!

Yang Xingyue changed the subject not only to prevent Yue Qihua from overthinking, but also to prevent herself from overthinking.

Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue only found out about Ai Liang's birthday after they entered the third grade.

In the first year of junior high, everyone was in the same class and didn't know each other well. It wasn't until the second semester that they started to get to know each other, so naturally they didn't celebrate each other's birthdays.

The following year, after everyone had gotten to know each other better, Yang Xingyue realized her feelings for him.

However, at that time, she was too shy, and with the constant teasing from those around her, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to celebrate Ai Liang's birthday, so it ended without any further plans.

In the third year, Yang Xingyue mustered up her courage and made up her mind, but Ai Liang refused to reveal her birthday.

At that time, Yang Xingyue went through almost all of Ai Liang's social media accounts, and even asked Yue Qihua to use her position as class monitor to search through student files in the office.

When she finally found out Ai Liang's birth date, she discovered that she had already missed Ai Liang's birthday.

October 10th, that's when they all graduated.

However, Yang Xingyue was not discouraged at all, because she could still attend the same high school as Ai Liang.

As a result, Ai Liang went directly to Qianhua Experimental Middle School to report for duty.

Now, Yue Chongshan has the two sisters completely under his control, and he won't allow them to leave Nevada City at all.

Before this, Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue had tried every means to secretly leave Nevada City.

But every attempt ended in failure.

Yue Chongshan's bodyguards were practically everywhere.

They had no choice but to settle for second best. If they couldn't go to celebrate Ai Liang's birthday, they would at least send her a gift!
