I don't want to fall in love, I just want to get rewards

Chapter 149 Xu Ang's miserable day

When many people are at their most vulnerable, what they need is not constant comfort, but support and reliance at critical moments.

Although Chen Che only said a simple sentence, Song Ya could inexplicably feel the firmness and gentleness in his tone.

Although I was still afraid, the previous confusion had dissipated a little.

Song Ya turned her head and looked directly at Chen Che.

Her eyes were watery, like a defenseless baby, showing her truest and most vulnerable side to someone she could trust.

"Don't be afraid, trust me."

"Yeah." Song Ya nodded slightly, without saying anything more, and just walked towards home silently.

Although Chen Che did not take the initiative to pay attention to the things happening in Song Ya's family, he knew a little about it after all, as they lived under the same roof.

Wen Ning has been very busy these days, so busy that she can't arrange things in an orderly manner like before.

Chen Che also took the initiative to take over the task of cooking.

It is worth mentioning that Song Yuanfeng is now in detention, and their original home is now empty, but no one has proposed to move out.

Song Ya never planned to leave from the beginning.

As for Wen Ning, at first it was because she had too many things to do at work and in life recently, and she was so busy that she couldn't think clearly; later she found that if she really moved back with Song Ya, she would not be able to take good care of her, so she continued to live there.

As for whether he has other thoughts, it is unknown.

……

Time will not slow down because of anything, life goes on.

Nothing major happened to Chen Che in the next few days, except for a rumor that several students were detained for washing their feet.

Chen Che didn't gossip about this at first, but when he was playing games with several members of the e-sports club, he learned that Xu Ang was also one of the people detained...

Chen Che felt that his opinion of him was really accurate...

He doesn't even need to take the initiative, Xu Ang will act stupidly and do foolish things on his own.

As for Lu Yan, Chen Che still implemented the pulling strategy. After pushing it for so many days, he had to pull it back a little.

Although they are not as close as before, the two of them are gradually teaming up to fight bosses like before...

……

After ten days of detention, Xu Ang finally breathed the air of freedom. However, on the day he left the Public Security Bureau, he did not feel the slightest joy of regaining his freedom. Instead, he had a gloomy face and felt confused about the future.

A few days ago, he could still deliberately avoid some things, but now that it's out, he has to face many things.

The disappointment and blame from his parents were secondary. Xu Ang was most worried that Lu Yan would break up with him after knowing this...

After all, this matter is really bad.

However, Xu Ang didn't expect that the first thing he had to deal with was not the above two things, but...

Xu Ang turned on his phone and then opened WeChat.

After so many days, he wanted to see if he had missed any important information.

As he expected, when he opened WeChat, he found that there were already quite a few red dots in the chat bar.

Most of them were his friends asking if he really went to wash his feet...

Xu Ang simply chose to ignore these messages. He slid his finger down little by little, trying to find out whether the most important people had sent him any messages.

Before he found Lu Yan's column, he saw the message from the counselor first.

【Instructor: Send me a message when you come out.】

When Xu Ang saw this message, his heart skipped a beat, and emotions such as fear and panic couldn't help but surface in his mind.

Why do we need to inform the school about something like washing feet...

Xu Ang's fingers trembled slightly. He first sent a message to the counselor, and then couldn't help searching for related questions on his mobile phone.

[What will the school do if a college student is caught washing feet? ]

After pressing search, the first message on the interface is a news item from previous years.

[Fudan University graduate student expelled for "washing feet"...]

Xu Ang bit his lip and watched the video three or four times. Just when he didn't know what to do, the counselor's message came.

【Instructor: Are you free at 6pm? Come to my office. 】

Xu Ang took a deep breath and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on both sides of the road. He felt like a criminal waiting for the court's verdict.

……

After walking out of the counselor's office, Xu Ang had a more "mature" temperament and his steps seemed particularly heavy.

Before this, he still had some hope, but this hope was gradually eliminated during his communication with the counselor.

It is indeed the worst ending...

Because of violating school rules, the school finally gave the student the punishment of "expulsion".

After hearing the result, Xu Ang still wanted to try to defend himself, but the instructor just said one sentence and told him to shut up.

"This is the school's decision. It's no use telling me... The police also caught two students during their investigation and they were also expelled."

The instructor’s words kept circling in Xu Ang’s mind.

Liu Ci was waiting for him at the office door. Seeing Xu Ang walking out with a dejected look on his face, he subconsciously asked, "What did the school say?"

Xu Ang didn't answer him, but dragged his heavy body and walked down the stairs step by step.

The counselor's office is on the 4th floor, and it doesn't take long to walk down the stairs. However, it was during this short period of time that Xu Ang thought about a lot.

He didn't know what to do next.

Being expelled from school meant that all his previous education had been wasted, and he only had two choices.

Either work or repeat the exam.

But the problem is, what good job can he find with a high school diploma? His current resume doesn't even meet the recruitment requirements of most companies.

Repeat exam?

Xu Ang knew very well that he could no longer go back to the intense state of studying he had in high school.

Although his university life was not terrible, there was still a big gap compared to those who really worked hard, and he had almost forgotten some of his high school knowledge.

Moreover, Jianghai Province has changed to the new college entrance examination since this year, and the textbooks and test papers have undergone significant changes. It is better to prepare for the college entrance examination again now than to start from scratch.

"Besides, I'm already 21 years old. If I repeat the year, I'll definitely be laughed at." Xu Ang muttered to himself. The moment he walked out of the building, he felt that his future was bleak.

What made him even more desperate was that he didn't know how to face those acquaintances.

From childhood to adulthood, his grades have always been among the best in the class. His parents are always proud of his grades and use them as a source of bragging.

But now he has become a joke. Once the news gets out, his old classmates, neighbors and elders will definitely laugh at him.

Xu Ang wanted to keep this secret, but he knew it was impossible...

If one person knows about something, it is no longer a secret. In just a few days, the news has spread all over the school...

Xu Ang regretted it at this moment. He regretted why he couldn't resist the temptation and why he had such a fluke mentality...

At the same time, after making a mistake, people will always subconsciously excuse themselves and try to make themselves look innocent.

Xu Ang is no exception.

"It was Liu Ci. He was the one who pulled me over. He was also wrong!"

This thought came to his mind, and what made him even more angry was that it was clearly Liu Ci who pulled him over, but in the end Liu Ci was not hurt at all, but he had to accept the punishment from the school.

……

"What do they say at school? Speak up, don't scare me."

Seeing Xu Ang's gloomy face and not saying a word, Liu Ci became a little anxious and spoke in a heavier voice.

This completely aroused the anger in Xu Ang's heart.

"It's all your fault." He roared, pushing Liu Ci's chest, "If you hadn't dragged me over there, I wouldn't... I wouldn't have been fired."

Liu Ci slid back a few steps, also becoming angry, and cursed:
"Why are you mad at me? Did I tie you up? If you have a strong will, you should just refuse. But when something goes wrong, you start blaming others. You are really capable. You deserve to be a dog for the rest of your life. If I were your girlfriend, I would not look down on you either."

After cursing loudly, Liu Ci said "Pooh", ignored Xu Ang, and strode away.

After Xu Ang stared at Liu Ci's back in a daze, he felt aggrieved and his eyes became a little sore after a while.

……

The closer he got to Qinglin Community, the greater the pressure Xu Ang felt.

Originally, he chose to rent a house here in order to be closer to Lu Yan, but now he has no idea how to face Lu Yan.

Although Lu Yan hadn't sent him any messages in the past few days, it was impossible for her to not know anything...

Xu Ang took a deep breath and walked up the stairs step by step.

He tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but at the moment when the key was inserted into the door lock, the door behind him suddenly opened.

Xu Ang's expression froze on his face for a moment. At this moment, he didn't even dare to turn around and look at Lu Yan.

"Xu Ang." Lu Yan spoke first.

Xu Ang took a deep breath, then turned around woodenly and gave a smile that looked extremely forced.

"Yanyan..."

"Xu Ang, let's break up." Lu Yan didn't say much and went straight to the point.

Lu Yan always believed that being together and breaking up should be discussed face to face, but this did not mean that she would hesitate and look back after making a decision.

"Yanyan, listen to me..." Xu Ang tried his best to explain, but Lu Yan did not give him the chance.

"Xu Ang, no need to explain." Lu Yan shook her head and said, "I don't think we like each other as much as we thought. There is no need for us to keep wasting time."

"I don't dislike you... I like you, I love you, and this time I was really wrong." Because he was too anxious, Xu Ang's word order was a little messed up. He tried to find a glimmer of possibility of redemption from Lu Yan's expression, but...

Lu Yan's expression was quite calm, without anger, rage, or even disappointment.

"But I don't love you." Her tone was calm, but it was hard to explain her firmness. "I have thought a lot during this period, and I have also thought about our relationship. From the beginning, our relationship seemed to be wrong. It can be regarded as family affection, or friendship, but it does not seem to be love."

"Yanyan, don't say such things." Xu Ang waved his hands, as if he thought that this would stop Lu Yan. While making the gesture, he said anxiously: "How can there not be love between us? I love you, I really love you. This time I just..."

"But I don't love you anymore." Lu Yan interrupted him, "Because we have known each other since childhood, I can treat you as a good friend and a brother, but I can't treat you as the other half of my life. I can't imagine the scene of us walking through the second half of our lives hand in hand."

Xu Ang stood there, staring at Lu Yan in a daze.

"I still hope you'll be fine." Lu Yan nodded and added, "By the way, you'd better give your aunt a good call. She's been very anxious recently and has called me several times."

After saying this, Lu Yan seemed to feel that there was nothing more to say, and turned around to go back.

But at this moment, Xu Ang's voice suddenly rang out.

"After all this talk, it's nothing more than you falling in love with someone else, right?"

Lu Yan turned around, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Yes!"

At the end of the day, Xu Ang's emotions were already on the verge of collapse, and Lu Yan's "yes" became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"So you just look down on me and want to kick me aside. What's the difference between you and a scumbag?" Xu Ang shouted at the top of his lungs.

Lu Yan didn't rush to speak. She looked at Xu Ang quietly for a moment, and this time disappointment finally appeared in her eyes.

"I admit that I made mistakes in this relationship, but what qualifications do you have to blame me?" Lu Yan's tone became sharper. "You said I was a scumbag, but after I confirmed that I didn't like you, I took the initiative to break up, and I didn't suck your blood all these years. I will buy you a more expensive gift in return for the gift you bought me."

"If you think what you just said can make you happy, then I don't care. You can treat me as a scumbag."

Lu Yan's nonchalant attitude made Xu Ang feel like he had punched cotton.

He watched Lu Yan close the door little by little, and suddenly had a premonition in his heart that once this door was completely closed, there would be no possibility between him and Lu Yan.

He strode forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the door tightly, preventing Lu Yan from closing it.

"Xu Ang, let go."

"Okay, let's go inside and talk." Xu Ang wanted to enter Lu Yan's house, but Lu Yan was firm and refused to let him in.

After an argument, Xu Ang became impatient and reached out to push Lu Yan back a few steps to make room for himself.

However, just as he stepped one foot in, he suddenly felt a hand grabbing the back of his collar.

Before Xu Ang could react, he was thrown out.

After a dizzying moment, Xu Ang steadied himself and looked at the person who had just stopped him. Finally, his eyes were filled with resentment.

"Chen Che, it's you again!"
