Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Chapter 207 I want you to feel just as bad as I do!

He spoke very softly.

But this made Lin Qingxue's face turn pale.

She opened her mouth, but after a long while, she finally spoke.

"Ayan, I really didn't know it would have such a big impact."

"I only wanted to help you, that's why..."

Li Wenyan interrupted, his eyes red.

"Want to help me?"

"I treat you like family, I share everything with you, and I tell you everything."

"And then you turned around and told my secret to your friend."

"I was overwhelmed by those increasingly outrageous rumors and was forced to drop out of school. I still suffer from psychological trauma to this day, and I am afraid to talk to or communicate with others."

"And what about you?"

He resembled Huang Wenhao from before, his face flushed, and he was speaking with almost the same desperate strain.

"When I transferred here, I saw you acting like nothing happened, still making friends normally, and not just girls, but also..."

"You're quite pleased with yourself for enjoying that person's adulation!"

"Why? Why am I stuck in the past, unable to move on, while you can even..."

"Cough! Cough!!"

Perhaps it was because he was too emotional when he spoke.

Li Wenyan leaned against the tree trunk, coughing repeatedly.

Lin Qingxue stood there, head bowed, letting him vent his anger.

Until the cough stops.

After catching his breath, Li Wenyan...

Lin Qingxue slowly raised her eyes, her voice very soft.

"Ayan, the college entrance exam starts today."

"You said that after the college entrance exam, when you step into a new stage of life, you will move forward and turn the page on the past."

Li Wenyan paused, his hand still rubbing his throat. He looked at the person in front of him and suddenly laughed.

"So, did you keep your promise to me?"

"One is something that happens before the college entrance exam, and the other is something that happens for a lifetime."

"If you can't even do this in just one year of senior high school, how can I trust you?"

Lin Qingxue was about to speak.

Li Wenyan interrupted, "Don't bring up Uncle Lin's matter. Uncle Lin's injury isn't serious. It's fine to be grateful, but it doesn't warrant you hanging around him for a whole week."

"Even when someone yells at you, you still rush over to them. This isn't like you at all."

"Admit it, you have feelings for him!"

"I don't care how high school goes, but don't forget your promise to me—you'll never be with him in this lifetime!"

"I can't stand to see you happy. I want you to suffer like me! To be unable to be with the person you love forever!"

"How could someone as despicable as you deserve happiness?"

Li Wenyan was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot, even more agitated than before.

Lin Qingxue fell silent and did not speak.

She didn't say anything.

Li Wenyan, panting, didn't want to say anything more and started walking forward.

Just as they were passing each other.

Lin Qingxue spoke up.

"Ayan, what's with the wristband on your wrist?"

Li Wenyan paused, his steps halting.

Lin Qingxue's expression was calm, and her voice was unhurried, as if she had already suppressed her emotions from before.

"I heard him mention that he asked you to return something to me. Is this the wristband?"

"Ah Yan, regardless of what I think in my heart, I have done everything I promised you on the surface."

"But you didn't keep your promise to me. Ever since he broke off relations with me in the cafeteria, you've been doing these kinds of underhanded things."

"Give me back my wristband, then go take your exam."

Li Wenyan tightened his grip on the wristband on his other hand. He didn't turn around, but simply asked.

"I'm going to ask you a question, and you'd better tell me honestly."

Do you like him?

Lin Qingxue's body stiffened slightly.

She slowly lowered her head, looking at the muddy ground at her feet.

Li Wenyan's words kept echoing in her ears.

I can never be with the person I like...

She only felt that her lips were a little dry and cracked.

I want to blurt out "I don't like it" as usual.

But this seemingly correct answer ultimately couldn't change anything.

In particular, a sudden "buzz" tremor ran through her mind.

Lin Qingxue froze, the scene before her eyes seemed to have transformed into a wedding banquet hall.

The screen rotates.

In a deserted corner.

Wearing a formal suit, Ah Yan, who looked much more mature, was holding a wine glass. His eyes were red, and his expression carried a restrained obsession.

His lips were opening and closing.

Before Lin Qingxue could even hear clearly, the screen shattered with a crash.

The scene before me has returned to a patch of soft, damp earth.

Only her rapidly beating heart proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Lin Qingxue rubbed her slightly dizzy head.

Then he reached out his hand.

"Give me back my wristband. Go take your exam."

"I'll give you an answer after the college entrance exams are over in a few days."

Li Wenyan turned his head and gave her a deep look before letting out a cold snort.

He tossed the wristband into her hand, then turned and left without a word.

Only Lin Qingxue remained, clutching her wristband and standing quietly in place.

Until an unknown amount of time had passed.
