Chapter 110 I was wrong, Lu Yuan
Class 5, Grade 12.
After Lu Yuan was called in for a talk with the teacher, a strange atmosphere filled the classroom. Everyone had lost their interest in reviewing and gathered in small groups to discuss the next developments.
Several girls who were very close to Xu Lingjing gathered around her, including Jiang Yiqing, and were giving her advice.
Compared to the enthusiasm of the others, Jiang Yiqing seemed uninterested and even somewhat absent-minded.
"Lingjing, do you like Lu Yuan or not? He's incredibly popular right now. If you don't stand up for him, someone else might snatch him away!"
Previously, when there was only Ye Yixian, whose conditions were relatively ordinary in all aspects, everyone was still optimistic about Xu Lingjing.
After all, Xu Lingjing is so outstanding that she has countless suitors. Everyone thinks it's only a matter of time before she regains Lu Yuan's favor.
But now the situation is different; Xia Anqi has forcefully joined the competition.
From any perspective, Xia Anqi's attractiveness is unparalleled, and given her proactive nature, Lu Yuan might not be able to resist her advances.
Xu Lingjing didn't care at first, thinking that everyone was just joking around.
But with everyone offering their analyses, she had to start re-evaluating the current situation.
At this moment, her last bit of restraint began to crumble.
Xu Lingjing realized at some point that she couldn't live without Lu Yuan, and she even dreamed about him when she slept at night.
If Lu Yuan really falls for Xia Anqi, I'm afraid I'll have absolutely no chance.
Xu Lingjing fell into deep thought: Should she take the initiative more?
"Student Xu."
Before she could make up her mind, Li Xian inappropriately came over.
This annoyed her, and the other girls who were discussing it with her also felt disappointed and dispersed.
"What do you want?" Xu Lingjing's train of thought was interrupted, and she was slightly displeased, her tone very cold.
Li Xian seemed oblivious to the chill emanating from her, and still approached her with a smile, taking out a review paper and pointing to a question, asking, "Xu, I really can't figure out this question, I'd like to discuss it with you."
Xu Lingjing glanced at the question and rolled her eyes: "I don't have time right now, you figure it out yourself."
"No, I see you have a lot of free time." Li Xian persisted, "The third mock exam is just around the corner, and the college entrance exam will follow closely behind. While everyone is relaxing, we should join forces to strengthen our review and try to get ahead."
"I really don't have time. Go and overtake him yourself on the curve." Xu Lingjing turned her head away, not wanting to pay any more attention to Li Xian.
Li Xian's face darkened, but he didn't give up and continued, "Xu, anyone can see that Lu Yuan has definitely changed his mind. Now there's Xia Anqi too, you have even less of a chance. Why not ignore him and look at me? My grades are much better than Lu Yuan's. What do you like to eat? I can buy it for you..."
Before Li Xian could finish speaking, Xu Lingjing gave him a look that seemed to want to kill him.
What she hates most is when people say she has no chance. Li Xian is just deliberately bringing up the sore spot, coming over to rub salt into her wounds.
Li Xian was startled by Xu Lingjing's gaze and quickly shut his mouth, saying awkwardly, "I just... wanted to give you a suggestion, hoping you..."
"Get lost, you idiot!"
Xu Lingjing was completely enraged. She stood up, grabbed the test paper that Li Xian had brought, and threw it directly at his face before leaving.
The classroom fell into a deathly silence. Most people looked at Li Xian, puzzled. Li Xian felt that he had been trying to reason with her, so why was Xu Lingjing so angry?
Jiang Yiqing, holding her books, glanced at the bewildered Li Xian and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Teacher, if you don't know how to pursue girls, just give up and focus on your studies. You might be better than Lu Yuan in exams, but when it comes to winning girls' hearts, you really can't beat Lu Yuan. Come on, let's focus on our studies and stop thinking about those unrealistic things."
"What do you mean?" Li Xian felt greatly insulted.
But Jiang Yiqing didn't pay any attention to him, continued reading with her head down, and casually said, "The literal meaning."
Li Xian assumed Jiang Yiqing was gloating and didn't think much of it. However, Hou Mingyu, sitting not far away, keenly sensed the obvious favor Jiang Yiqing showed towards Lu Yuan in her words.
This fueled his jealousy, and his malice surged within him, making him unable to contain his desire to take revenge on Lu Yuan...
……
Lu Yuan was given a lecture by a group of teachers before finally leaving the office. It was still evening self-study time, and the corridor was empty; not a single person could be seen.
As he was hanging his head, pondering his next move, and walking toward the classroom, a figure suddenly appeared at the stairwell, a fragrant breeze wafting towards him, and they bumped right into each other.
"Damn it, can't you watch where you're going?"
Lu Yuan rubbed his chest and looked closely, only to find that the person he had bumped into was Xu Lingjing.
Xu Lingjing covered her forehead and took two steps back, her eyes red and her beautiful face filled with sadness and grievance.
Lu Yuan was a little puzzled. Being classmates, he casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Lingjing looked at Lu Yuan, unsure whether it was a carefully orchestrated encounter knowing Lu Yuan would pass by, or just a coincidence.
She gazed at Lu Yuan with watery eyes, and after a long silence, she suddenly rushed over and hugged him tightly.
Lu Yuan was startled and instinctively tried to break free, but Xu Lingjing held him tightly and refused to let go, her body still sobbing.
If Lu Yuan used any more force, he might hurt her, which put him in a difficult position and even made him a little flustered.
Because this is a teaching building, even though everyone is having evening self-study, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't suddenly come out and see them hugging and kissing.
"Xu Lingjing, what exactly do you want?" Lu Yuan was extremely displeased, still trying to break free from the embrace. "Can't you have any shame? What if someone sees us?"
"Lu Yuan, tell me, why don't you like me?" Xu Lingjing asked, crying, hugging me even tighter. "You clearly liked me so much before, and you said you would do anything for me, and that you would only like me."
When Xu Lingjing brought up these things, Lu Yuan felt a sense of helplessness.
These were all words he spoke when he was a sycophant in his past life; they were empty promises made when he was young and naive.
But at that time, these words could not move Xu Lingjing.
"Didn't I make it very clear to you? I don't like you anymore, why can't you understand! Let go of me now, or I'm really going to get physical."
"I won't let go. I don't believe you dare to hit me."
Xu Lingjing knew Lu Yuan too well; she knew he would never lay a hand on a girl.
Lu Yuan was furious, feeling that Xu Lingjing was simply unreasonable.
But at the same time, he vaguely guessed why Xu Lingjing did this, because she also had an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Of course, what he didn't know was that being provoked by Li Xian was the final trigger.
Unable to break free through force, Lu Yuan resorted to a gentler approach, saying calmly, "Xu Lingjing, don't waste your time on me. The person I like isn't you, and never will be. I hope that by being so blunt, you can give up."
"..."
Lu Yuan spoke with heartfelt sincerity, each word piercing the heart. For a moment, Xu Lingjing felt as if her heart had completely died.
She couldn't help but burst into tears, leaning against Lu Yuan's chest and sobbing. Between sobs, she said, "I was wrong, Lu Yuan. I shouldn't have treated you like that before. Please give me another chance. I really... really love you. I can't live without you. I will... I will die."
Xu Lingjing has already lowered her stance to the lowest level; in this situation, anyone would have softened.
Lu Yuan was a little soft-hearted, but when he recalled what Xu Lingjing had done in his previous life, that soft-heartedness vanished completely.
Perhaps Xu Lingjing has truly changed in this life, but Lu Yuan's prejudice is deeply ingrained and cannot be changed.
Perhaps such prejudice is very unfair to Xu Lingjing now, but Lu Yuan does not regret it.
He shook his head and said coldly, "You don't need me. That's it."
Lu Yuan showed no mercy. Xu Lingjing was both surprised and heartbroken, and didn't know what to say. She just kept hugging Lu Yuan and crying.
Lu Yuan stood there like a wooden statue, not raising his hand to hug Xu Lingjing, but waiting for her to finish crying so that he might let go.
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing not far away. He turned his head and was immediately taken aback.
That was Ye Yixian.
When did she arrive?
