Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Chapter 255: The Benchmark of Love (Thanks for Reading~)

As Lu Zihan spoke, he gently nudged Chen Chen beside him with his elbow, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"You two are truly the benchmark in the world of love."

Chen Chen rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

It was already this late, and he was clearly trying to find a way to enlighten Zhou Yuyang, but he ended up bringing the topic to himself for no apparent reason.

Zhou Yuyang raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but soon dimmed.

"She's already very disappointed in me. She might not trust me anymore no matter what I do."

Chen Chen stood up, pulled Zhou Dagou up, and said in a firm tone:
"How will you know if you don't try? Go find her now and tell her everything you want to say.

If she still rejects you, then you have tried your best and you will not have any regrets in the future. But if you just stay here like this, I will look down on you. "

Zhou Yuyang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go find her. But what if she doesn't see me?"

Lu Zihan patted the back of his head.

"Then find a way to get her to see you. Go wait for her downstairs of her dormitory, or go to the places she often hangs out. Be thick-skinned and don't be afraid of embarrassment. For the person you like, this little face is nothing."

Chen Chen looked at the time and said, "Let's go now. We'll go with you. With us here, you'll be braver."

Zhou Yuyang took a deep breath, as if mustering up his courage, and nodded.

So the four of them walked quickly towards the girls' dormitory.

Along the way, Zhou Yuyang's steps were a little heavy, and he felt nervous and uneasy.

Chen Chen and Lu Zihan kept cheering him up and encouraged him to face it bravely.

When they arrived at the bottom of the girls' dormitory, Zhou Yuyang stopped again, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Chen Chen pushed him and said, "Don't hesitate, go ahead. We'll be waiting for you here."

Zhou Yuyang nodded and slowly walked downstairs to the dormitory building, each step seeming to use up all his strength.

Chen Chen, Lu Zihan and Jiang Tao were waiting anxiously in the grove nearby. From time to time, they looked up in the direction of the dormitory and prayed silently for Zhou Yuyang in their hearts.

After a long while, Zhou Yuyang walked out of the dormitory in disappointment, his steps heavier than when he left.

Chen Chen and the other two hurried to meet them.

"How was it? Did you meet Qin Yao?"

Lu Zihan asked anxiously.

Zhou Yuyang shook his head and said in a hoarse voice:

"She's not in the dormitory, and neither are the others. I don't know when they'll be back..."

Chen Chen patted Zhou Yuyang on the shoulder and comforted him:

"It's okay, let's wait a little longer, or think about other places she might have gone and look for her again."

Lu Zihan also echoed:
"Yeah, it's no big deal. We might bump into her in the next second. We can't give up so easily."

Zhou Yuyang bit his lip, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and said:

"I don't believe I can't find her. I must explain everything to her face to face."

They finally opened up to each other and decided to give it a try.

Suddenly, Chen Chen thought of something, slapped his head and said:
"Wait! I think I should know where Qin Yao is."

Zhou Yuyang's originally dim eyes instantly lit up with a glimmer of hope, and he eagerly asked, "Where is she?"

Chen Chen was about to speak.

Just then, Zhou Yuyang's cell phone suddenly rang.

His expression tensed, and he quickly reached for his phone. The moment he saw the caller ID, Zhou Yuyang's eyes widened, and his fingers gripping the phone trembled uncontrollably, his lips stammering:

"It's...it's her who called."

Zhou Yuyang slowly turned his gaze towards Chen Chen and the other two, his eyes filled with complex expressions of nervousness, anticipation and uneasiness.

Seeing this, Chen Chen quickly winked at him, signaling him to answer the phone, and said in a low voice:

"Hold steady and speak nicely."

Zhou Yuyang took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, and slowly pressed the answer button.

He tried to regulate his breathing and make his voice sound steady: "Hello..."

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Zhou Yuyang's face, which originally had some color, instantly turned as pale as paper. The hand holding the phone unconsciously clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

Chen Chen and the other two stared at him with worry on their faces, not daring to blink for a moment, trying to guess the content of the call from the subtle changes in his expression.

After a long while, Zhou Yuyang seemed to have used up all his strength and slowly hung up the phone.

It was as if all the strength had been drained from him. He stood there like a wooden sculpture, his eyes empty and lifeless.

Seeing this, Chen Chen was extremely anxious and asked hurriedly:

"Big Dog, what's wrong? What did she say?"

Zhou Yuyang slowly raised his head, looking at them with empty eyes, his voice trembling violently, filled with endless loneliness and despair:

"She...she said she already has a new boyfriend and asked me not to bother her anymore..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yuyang's body shook and he almost fell to the ground.

Chen Chen and Lu Zihan were quick to act and rushed forward to support him.

Lu Zihan was so angry that he stamped his feet, his face full of anger and injustice:

"This... this is too sudden. How could Qin Yao treat a big dog like this!"

Chen Chen looked at the distraught Zhou Yuyang with a distressed look on his face and comforted him softly:

"Big Dog, don't worry. I'll go back and ask Xiaoxi first. They might be together now."

Zhou Yuyang's eyes had already turned red, tears welling up in them. He gritted his teeth, using all his strength to hold back the tears, his voice choked with sobs:
"I thought... I thought if I tried harder, I still had a chance..."

Chen Chen patted him on the back gently and said earnestly:
"Don't think too much about it. Zihan, Jiang Tao, take him back to the dormitory first and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is a new day, and everything will be fine."

Lu Zihan and Jiang Tao nodded, supported Zhou Dagou and slowly left.

Chen Chen stood there quietly until the three figures completely disappeared from his sight.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket, slid his finger across the screen, found Lin Muxi's number, and decisively pressed the dial button.

The phone rang a few times and was quickly connected.

"Xiaoxi, where are you now? I'm coming to pick you up now."

Lin Muxi's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone: "Senior, I'm back to the dormitory."

Chen Chen frowned slightly, then asked, "Is Qin Yao with you?"

There seemed to be hesitation on the other end of the line.

Chen Chen sighed softly.

"Yuyang was in a very bad state after his breakup." He then added:

"He's like this now, I'm afraid he's going to be upset. Qin Yao is so determined all of a sudden, I want to ask my junior sister Qin Yao to see if we can ease the relationship between the two."
