The next day, the start of a new week, I felt the hot wind of the approaching summer solstice blowing on my face, making me very uncomfortable. The sun seemed to burn itself out, shining with full force. Sitting in the classroom, after experiencing the ups and downs of last night, it actually wasn't that serious. At most, I was bitten by mosquitoes and had many welts. And...
"Youjie... you pervert," I covered my face, unwilling to look back on the incident last night where I tripped over a rock because it was too dark. It was truly an accident, and I didn't intentionally touch her chest. Even if I explained that it was beyond my control, but Su Yuqian didn't listen to my explanation at all and scolded me harshly. I sighed and looked out at the blue sky outside. The hot wind rustled the leaves, and occasionally I could see a few birds flying in the sky. This peaceful feeling should continue for every day to come. Yes, if this feeling persists, there's nothing wrong with finishing high school.
"Yu-gege..."
However, abrupt changes are like unexpected weather that catches one off guard.
"An Lisi?"
With complicated emotions, I looked at the girl who suddenly burst into my classroom. It was as if she ignored everyone else's existence and only smiled at me. This should have been a joyful moment, whether in a light novel or a manga, for the male protagonist. But this is not a light novel world, and not everything can be accepted as a truth. Cheating is not allowed, and everyone should be clear about that.
"Yu-gege, what's wrong with you? Not saying a word..."
An Lisi looked at me with a puzzled gaze, and I could feel her eyes, as well as the gaze of others.
Jealousy, resentment, and seriousness.
As if prepared for the worst, I stood up and walked towards the corridor.
"Where are you going, Yu-gege?"
"It's not convenient to talk in the classroom. Come with me for a moment."
I chose a corner where we wouldn't be seen or eavesdropped, and then turned around to look at An Lisi, who had a radiant smile on her face.
With a sigh, I spoke, "Actually, I already have a girlfriend. I'm sorry I didn't tell you from the beginning."
An Lisi was stunned for a moment.
"But at that time, I couldn't just watch An Lisi die. I just hoped that An Lisi could live a cheerful and sunny life, enjoy campus life, and make more friends. That's all."
"What do you mean, Yu-gege?"
An Lisi widened her eyes and her voice trembled.
"I'm sorry, I deceived you. There's no trace of liking you in my heart. It's all my fault that things turned out this way. If I could have explained earlier..."
I spoke without hesitation, but I also knew why An Lisi gave up the idea of suicide. It's just that I couldn't fulfill her selfish desires. It's better to be clear sooner rather than later, as this situation has become urgent. Even if it hurts the other person, it must be done.
"Yu-gege, what you're saying is fake, absolutely fake, right? Yu-gege said he liked me before, why are you saying these things now?" An Lisi's pupils contracted as she took a step back. "It must be that bad woman who has influenced Yu-gege, right?"
"It has nothing to do with Muxi. She is an innocent person who has been hurt," I adjusted my breathing. "My girlfriend is Su Yuqian, the girl who was next to Muxi yesterday."
After hearing that, An Lisi took another step back and murmured softly, "Liar... liar."
"I'm really sorry for hiding all this, but my intention was to give An Lisi a good perspective on life. It seems that I was being self-righteous. I thought everything would be simple, but I didn't consider that it would hurt more people."
"No, something is not right... Someone must be sabotaging this."
An Lisi shook her head and did not accept what I said. Looking at her almost pained expression, I couldn't be soft-hearted. This wasn't the first time, how despicable.
I resent this side of myself. Why can't there be a way that doesn't hurt each other, why do we have to stab each other in the most painful places?
But instead of letting it spread, it's better to kill it in the cradle. Let me be such a heartless person.
I took a step and made the decision to leave, but An Lisi tightly held onto my hand.
This kind of scene can be seen in movies, animation, and even in reality.
"In the future, An Lisi must live positively and optimistically. This is my biggest wish."
Once something like this happens, it seems that even friendship breaks apart,
Just like shattered glass on the ground that can't be restored,
An Lisi's grip on my hand became weak, while I returned to my own classroom without looking back,
"That's enough, that's enough," I repeated to myself.
