Emotions shouldn't be hurtful, nor should they be suspicious. If it's no longer pure, then it's not love.

  This was the darkest summer vacation for Ji Huaning. She turned a deaf ear to her parents' quarrel and ignored Xiaolan's concern, but she couldn't help but notice one thing: due to her letting go, Xiao Yi had launched another attack on Yuan Ying, determined to make him hers!

  Don't even think about it! Ji Huaning clenched her fists tightly, and her heart felt like a row of small insects crawling over it, both painful and itchy. Her breakup with Yuan Ying, aside from their own reasons, couldn't exclude the interference of Xiao Yi. Now, if she were to let Yuan Ying go to her, she wouldn't be willing, she couldn't do it!

  Recently, all the classmates who were in the same class as Ji Hua Ning have heard or witnessed a piece of gossip: at the first class reunion after graduation, Qin Yi Jiang publicly hugged and kissed Jiang Yuan Ying, but was rejected by Jiang Yuan Ying!

  According to eyewitnesses, at that time, Qin Yijiang suddenly fell onto Jiang Yuanying's body at the toilet door, tightly grasping his clothes, just like Ji Huaining had fallen on him before! Jiang Yuanying was stunned for a moment, then quickly pushed her away and apologized softly. It was thought that no one would know, but unexpectedly, Ji Huaining happened to be sent to the toilet to vomit because he had drunk too much, so many people witnessed this scene and made fun of it.

  Afterwards, when classmates went to Ji Huaning's home to play, they brought up the matter again and indignantly said: "That Qin Yijiang, I had long seen through her feelings for Jiang Shao! Originally, emotional matters are hard to say, but she actually used that kind of method! She thought that by imitating you, Jiang Shao would be moved? At the graduation ceremony, she was already unable to control herself, and yet she still wanted to reenact it, it's really disgusting. Xiao Ning, don't be sad, Jiang Shao's heart is still tied to yours, you don't need to worry about them... Everyone has already been saying that Qin Yijiang is a genuine fox spirit, her reputation among classmates has been completely ruined. I could see that day you were unhappy and drank so much... You have to take care of your own body..."

  After her roommate left, Ji Huaning lazily leaned against the headboard, slowly tearing apart a skirt she no longer liked. Lin Jinglan pushed open the door and walked in, her beautiful face looking serious at this moment:

  "What you just said, I heard it all. Hua Ning, is this something you're involved in?"

  Ji Huaning blinked at him: "What are you talking about?"

  Lin Jinglan said slowly, "You know what I'm talking about. Ruining Qin's image and making her lose face in public, was it you who did it?" Originally, she had broken up with that guy surnamed Jiang, he was worried that she would do something reckless. Because although she seemed cheerful on the surface, she was actually very fragile inside. But what was strange was that she rarely cried, and always looked like she was thinking about something. After hearing her classmate's words, he finally understood what she was planning.

  He knew her all too well. What she couldn't get, no one else could either! With her personality, this kind of thing was just like something she would do.

  She looked at him and suddenly burst out laughing coldly.

  "What's it to me? Haha, Xiao Yi, she wants to snatch Yuan Ying from me! She's dreaming! I won't let them be together, even if I die I don't want to see them together!"

  Lin Jinglan's two good-looking eyebrows were almost twisted together, "Since you still like that Jiang... Far Shadow, why must you stubbornly let go? Will your heart feel less painful if you do this?" Lin Jinglan said, his own heart also felt sour, he didn't want to see her entangled with the surname Jiang again, and even more so, he didn't want to see her pretending to be happy. Although Hua Ning was often mean-spirited, she also had times when she treated people sincerely - just like from childhood to adulthood, although she often bullied him and spoke harshly, in reality, she helped him many times.

  "What are you talking about, you little brat!" Ji Hua Ning laughed awkwardly. "Do you know what love is? Have you ever been hurt by love? Don't you know why we can't be together again?"

  "Then teach me, why can't you be together again?"

  She knew he was talking nonsense, and habitually grabbed the pillow to hit him in the face: "Because he's leaving! No, because he doesn't care about me... Not that either... Because of Xiaoyi... No, he doesn't like Xiaoyi..." As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, one by one, sparkling and translucent, like pearls left on the beach after the tide recedes.

  "There's something wrong between us, so many things that can't be solved... I don't know what the problem is or when it started, but it just feels wrong. Do you understand? Little Blue, do you understand? My heart hurts so much, but I've been watching it rot, powerless to save it... No one has a way out..." She finally let out the pent-up frustration and sadness in her heart, bursting into loud sobs. Love is dead, but the heart is still alive, throbbing with pain. Lin Jinglan quietly walked over, stretched out his hand and pulled her head into his thin chest.

  He didn't know why he did this, only her tears, like stones hitting his chest. He seemed to be saying what she said, heart aching and painful. He resented Jiang's distant shadow, someone like Hua Ning who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, why couldn't they be more tolerant? He had no way to help her with anything, only letting her say out her own bitterness, proclaiming them loudly, then slowly calming down with time.

  After a long time, when Ji Hua Ning calmed down, Lin Jing Lan said in a very soft voice: "Maybe I don't understand what love is, and I can't empathize with your pain. But the thing you did, I've never been able to agree with. I think emotions shouldn't be hurtful, nor should they be suspicious. If it's not pure, then it's not love."

  A week later, astonishing news came again. Xiao Yi gave up the excellent university in this city and was willing to drop one level of score line, take the next voluntary choice, and follow Jiang Yuan Ying to that city! When she heard about it, Ji Hua Ning smiled. She smiled at herself, after all, she couldn't compare with Xiao Yi, who also loved Yuan Ying, but in this crucial choice, they were suddenly distinguished as superior or inferior.

  She felt relieved from the bottom of her heart. Xiao Lan was right, there were too many impurities in her love, it had been that way since the beginning. She was too proud and too vain, like a peacock, hoping the whole world would revolve around her.

  Love should be pure and inclusive, but she is only demanding and taking. If she is a princess, then Far Shadow is the prince, they are equally excellent and proud, neither of whom will give in an inch, relatively speaking, it can only end in mutual destruction. By the time she understands all this, it's already too late. She can't compare to Xiaoyi's love for Far Shadow, she truly admires Xiaoyi's courage!

  Passionate and unrestrained, enchanting and intense, even born for love! She is the true rose.

  She was adjusting her emotions with difficulty, and Ji Rujing and Jiang Yun also gave her a bomb-like decision at the end of this summer:

  "Huaning, you must listen carefully to what Mom and Dad say, don't get agitated."

  She remembered Ji Rujing stopping her, with a slightly serious tone.

  "Dad and mom have decided to get divorced."
