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

The two filled out their college application forms.

I left the computer room after a long time.

In the stairwell at the entrance.

Just as Li Wenyan was about to walk to the stairs on the side, he suddenly turned around and asked.

"Want to go home together?"

Lin Qingxue shook her head.

"You go back by yourself first, I have something to do."

She had just finished speaking.

Seemingly remembering something, he suddenly asked.

"I heard from Uncle Li that he gave you two days off from your construction site, is that right?"

Li Wenyan wasn't surprised that she knew.

After all, she was very mature for her age, and her parents wanted her to take better care of herself so that they wouldn't have to worry about her.

"I have two days off, they said it's to let me relax, because they're afraid the high-intensity work will wear me out."

Lin Qingxue nodded, and after a moment's hesitation, she slowly spoke.

"I have a long-distance test tomorrow, which will probably take two days."

"If you have time, could you please look after my parents? Call me anytime if anything happens."

These words were spoken.

Li Wenyan suddenly laughed.

He pointed in the direction of the server room.

"Xiaoxue, have you just forgotten what you told me?"

"You said you didn't want to talk to me anymore, that you were tired, but now you want me to help you?"

Lin Qingxue's eyes remained calm as she spoke softly.

"My parents have always treated you well since you were little. You hate me, it has nothing to do with them."

"I believe you can also distinguish the importance and urgency of these things."

Upon hearing this...

Li Wenyan paused, his breath catching in his throat.

His gloomy eyes cast a deep glance at Lin Qingxue, who suddenly seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him.

After a long while, he finally said something.

"I'm leaving now."

I didn't agree.

But... I didn't refuse.

Clearly, he was still holding a grudge.

Lin Qingxue watched his receding figure.

The hands hanging at her sides clenched slightly.

At this moment.

She seemed somewhat lost.

Is what I'm doing good or bad?

It feels like it's made things more complicated.

There's a feeling that things are hard to unravel and impossible to sort out.

If we escape and get away from all of this... it seems like the only way to relax is for everyone.

Lin Qingxue gently clenched her palm.

Those fragments of memory suddenly flashed through my mind again.

Her eyes gradually hardened from a blank stare to a determined look.

Escaping is certainly a good thing.

But those lingering problems have never been resolved.

Just like in a dream.

It really took a lot of courage to make this decision.

But Ah Yan's attitude made Uncle Li and the others feel that he was disregarding their friendship of more than ten years.

All of this left her feeling exhausted.

Lin Qingxue took a deep breath and silently cheered herself on once again.

Although the lines are too messy and complicated, as long as you are patient, you will eventually be able to sort them out.

Just like doing a math problem.

Isn't this what I'm best at?

The figure ahead had already disappeared around the corner.

Lin Qingxue slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and prepared to return to the classroom.

But when you pass through another stairwell.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Class monitor."

Lin Qingxue paused and looked up.

In an instant, her gaze froze.

The speaker was Wang Jiaqi, and there were three other people next to her.

Wang Shuxian and Liu Yun.

besides...

Lin Qingxue slowly looked at Zhang Xinyi, who was leaning against the stair railing.

But the latter looked impatient, rolled his eyes, and looked away, avoiding eye contact.

She's not the only one like that.

The others were also frowning.

It was as if she had done something utterly heinous.

"Class monitor."

Wang Jiaqi stepped forward and called out again.

The voice was deep.

Lin Qingxue slowly lowered her gaze onto her.

"Why are you all waiting for me here?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiaqi looked at her intently.

"You really don't know?"

Lin Qingxue's eyes flickered slightly, but she remained silent.

Wang Jiaqi then continued.

"Whether you know it or not, I still feel it's necessary to remind you."

"We just heard from Xinyi and Liu Yun that you two have been learning to drive recently, and it took a lot of effort to ease the tension between you."

"Why do you have to get entangled with that guy surnamed Li again as soon as you get back to school?"

Lin Qingxue was slightly taken aback.

She didn't answer directly, but looked at the other people.

Wang Shuxian's face showed worry.

Liu Yun was still holding snacks in her hand, but she didn't eat a single bite.

Although Zhang Xinyi didn't look at her, she pricked up her ears, wanting to hear everything clearly.

actually...

Lin Qingxue herself was also very curious to know.

So, she instinctively asked.

"So what do you think I should do?"

Wang Jiaqi seemed surprised that she would ask her a question in return, and her expression froze.

But she quickly realized what was happening, looked into the other person's eyes, and slowly began to speak.

"Is it so hard to just ignore Li Wenyan?"

Upon hearing this...

Lin Qingxue's eyes flashed, as if she was somewhat disappointed.

She shook her head.

"That's unrealistic."

Wang Jiaqi was immediately dissatisfied.

"What's unrealistic about it? You want this and you want that? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"I've already said, Ah Yan and I aren't what you think..."

Lin Qingxue stopped before she could finish her explanation.

She seemed to remember something, and suddenly changed the subject, asking a question.

"Jiaqi, I remember you told me before that you wanted to go to Haicheng University."

"but..."

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the atmosphere around her inexplicably became heavy.

"You just said in class that you applied to the Agricultural University in Beijing?"

"Why...did you suddenly change your mind?"

Lin Qingxue's voice was somewhat heavy.

This left Wang Jiaqi stunned for a moment.

But before she could say anything...

Wang Shuxian, who was standing next to her, suddenly stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.

"Class monitor, Agricultural University is a top-tier university, better than Haicheng University. She has already discussed it with her parents."

"The exam questions you predicted for us improved our scores a lot, and we all got into better schools than before."

"That's why we decided to come over together, to remind you."

She spoke slowly and deliberately.

"If you want to mend your relationship with Brother Kei, you need to stay away from Li Wenyan."

"It's best...we never see each other again."

Lin Qingxue gave them a deep look, her voice softening.

"I know you meant well and helped me a lot, which is why I was willing to give you my predictions before."

"But some things aren't so obvious."

"My friendship with Ayan's family, which has lasted for more than ten years, cannot be severed so easily."

"Although I've kept my family's situation a secret all these years, you probably know more or less about it."

"Let's not talk about my true thoughts yet."

"After my dad became bedridden due to back problems, in addition to Ah Yan's family helping to take care of him, other families in the village gradually sponsored my schooling."

"Don't they just want me to be successful so I can give back to the village?"

"If I cut off all ties with Ayan's family, what will the other villagers who helped me think?"

"If I help an ungrateful person, will they dare to help others in the same situation as me?"

Wang Jiaqi and the others remained silent.

They were just high school students and hadn't thought about so many social niceties.

But it all sounds a bit unexpected now.

I was surprised by what Lin Qingxue said, and I was also surprised that she would suddenly explain so much.

The hallway was quiet for a moment.

Zhang Xinyi, who was leaning against the stair railing, finally got up and stepped forward.

She tilted her head back and asked.

"What did you just say, your true thoughts?"

"What is that?"

Lin Qingxue looked at Zhang Xinyi in front of her and spoke slowly with a calm expression.

"I like your brother."

"But I am also an independent person, and I have things I stand for."

"He misunderstood, and I will explain it clearly. If he won't listen, I will patiently wait until he calms down."

"But I won't give up everything for him."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it flowed quietly through the stairwell.

But suddenly he stopped as if he had seen something.

Lin Qingxue followed her gaze and looked back.

The moment I saw who it was.

Her body suddenly froze.

......
