Chapter 27 - A Pleasant Separation?

  I pushed open the door of the ward. My mood was a bit complicated, the doctor said it's okay, just alcohol poisoning, Ye Chenyi also cleverly avoided eye contact, otherwise, even if it wasn't sulfuric acid, it would have brought him irreparable harm.

  I bit my lip, Ye Chenyi, why are you so stupid? If you got hurt, would you let Cheng Xiaofi blame herself to death and suffer in pain?

  What is our relationship now?!

  ……

  Ye Chenyi had woken up, quietly looking out the window. I pushed open the door and handed him a cup of milk, chattering as I did so: "You're not even paying attention to me anymore, what's the point of still blocking that liquor?" And if it weren't for the liquor... "Conditioned reflex."

  "As soon as I heard this sentence, I got angry: 'I don't care if you reflect or not, I'll die if I'm splashed twice!'"

  "It doesn't matter, it's just not allowed!" He suddenly said in a stern voice, turning his head to look at my face seriously, slowly spitting out three words: "I'm heartbroken."

  "...I suddenly didn't know what to say, and lowered my head to peel an apple for him."

  He suddenly fell back, half leaning against the wall and muttered: "Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei, what am I going to do with you?"

  My hand paused, then silently continued to peel until I finished peeling an apple and handed it to him. Only then did I calmly say, "Ye Chenyi, I owe you one, and I'll find a chance to make it up to you. For now, let's part ways happily." My tone was calm, but my heart was actually far from calm.

  This sentence is so difficult to say, but what if it's even more difficult? I still have to say it. Although Ye Chenyi doesn't like Xiaoshi, he also loves her dearly, what can I do about Xiaoshi? Will Ye Chenyi believe that Xiaoshi is that bad because of me?

  I don't know.

  I asked Youshen to investigate the culprit of today's incident, and the answer came out quickly: Fang Shiyin. I didn't need to doubt Youshen's accuracy in handling things.

  So now the best result for me and Ye Chenyi is to break up.

  Being together yet not being together, Ye Chenyi and Cheng Xiaofei couldn't take this stimulation.

  "Xiao Fei, must you be like this?" Ye Chenyi's eyes slowly took on a wounded hue. Was he the one who was hurt now? I had been so hurt that I couldn't even cry.

  "It's you who asked me what to do, and what's the difference between us now and breaking up?" I tried my best to control my tone so it wouldn't be too unpleasant, enunciating each word slowly as I finished speaking. I stood up and left. Turning the handle, the sound from behind made me pause: "I disagree." Such a soft voice, yet so unyielding. I let out a low, cold laugh.

  Open the door, close the door.

  ……

  A few days later, the school's extracurricular exam, first item, fencing.

  I just can't figure it out! What is this school doing?! Testing, testing, and more testing, is that all there is?! And then they even came up with an extracurricular exam, which everyone has to take! It's wasted so much of my sleep time over the past few days!

  Fortunately, my fighting foundation is still pretty good, and I can learn quickly. The others are barely passing with a green light, so this fencing should be easy to pass, right?

  At least that's what I thought before the first game started. The fencing test was still in the form of a match, and the opponent was randomly selected, regardless of grade level, with both junior high school and senior high school participating. It would be great if I could meet Xiaoshi. I had some mischievous thoughts. But unexpectedly, I didn't meet Xiaoshi, but instead met Ye Chenyi in the first round.

  I couldn't help but rub my temples and sigh silently: we two have a really good fate.

  I grasped the silver sword in my hand and silently looked at the huge match list above. No matter how I looked, it was still those few words - Ye Chenyi VS Cheng Xiaofei. I glanced speechlessly at the teachers on the judging table, can't we distinguish by grade or gender?

  This world is really interesting.

  No matter how I tried to avoid it, my eyes still met Ye Chenyi's gaze. The wound on his face had healed and there was no sign of the alcohol that had landed on him a few days ago. He looked even more elegant and refined after not seeing him for a few days. I pursed my lips and slowly stood up straight. Then in a not-too-loud voice, I said to him: "Chenyi, let's settle this once and for all." He furrowed his brow and didn't say a word. The whole room fell silent except for my voice: "If I win, we'll break up."

  I don't know why I said such heartless words, but it's better for both of us this way.

  How can I put it, I'm not entirely confident that I can beat Ye Chenyi, but if I lose, then let's just say I've found a reason for myself, a reason to stay by his side.
