Struggle

  Jiang Feng hung up the phone and immediately chased after Xu Yan, "Yan Yan, that was a call from my mom just now."

  "That's good, you didn't go back on October 1st either. Your family will be worried about you. We should talk more, it's okay, the car hasn't arrived yet. When it comes, I'll call you." Xu Yan continued to look in the direction of the arriving car, but still there was no sign of the car. Xu Yan was entangled in her heart, she couldn't face him calmly like that... even if he swore that what he said was true, Xu Yan's heart was still very uneasy, she didn't dare believe it, didn't want to believe it, all she wanted to do was escape...

  "Words, I want to tell you..."

  "The car is here!" Xuyan interrupted him with a smile, she was relieved that the car had arrived, otherwise she had just managed to convince herself and made up her mind to only be friends with him, she was really afraid that his words would shake her resolve.

  Xu Yan had never been a person with an unsteady will, but Jiang Feng overturned her.

  Jiang Feng bitterly smiled and said, "Now you're so unwilling to talk to me?" "Let's go."

  Zhang Yan had walked ahead of the two, and by the time they got on the bus, he was almost at school. He didn't know how many sighs he let out along the way, for the first time feeling that being born into such a family wasn't a good thing.

  Zhang Yan arrived at school and walked along the street, as a result, he saw Li Jin and Gao Yuan, they seemed to be chatting happily... Zhang Yan originally wanted to quietly bypass them and go back, but Li Jin's sharp eyes discovered him: "Zhang Yan!"

  "Hey, Jiner, your eyes are really good!" Zhang Yan complimented.

  "Cut, it's necessary. You don't see who it is." Li Jing himself felt that he was developing a tendency to fall into the pit.

  "Why is it just you? What about Jiang Feng, who's always with you? Didn't you guys have a training session today? And what about Yan?" Gaoyuan suddenly realized something was off. Why did Zhangyan come back by himself? Could it be that Jiangfeng had lost control and done something to Yan?

  Zhang Yan was taken aback, Gao Yuan asked this question as if he had become an accomplice, but Gao Yuan was indeed very thoughtful towards Xu Yan. "They are behind, probably will be back soon. Xu Yan... likes Jiang Feng, Gao Yuan, you..."

  "Who she likes is her decision, being good to her is my choice!"

  Zhang Yan immediately had nothing to say, yeah, Gao Yuan was right, it was their own decision. "Right, what are you guys doing..."

  Zhang Yan looked at the two with a ambiguous expression. Li Jing's face was thin, although he felt embarrassed being stared at, but still scolded: "Zhang Yan, no wonder Jiang Feng said you're an idiot! We just happened to run into each other. What kind of thinking do you have? You're really shameless!"

  "But the thing is, you two have only met once, right? And yet you're going together, I'm naturally curious! " Zhang Yan felt very wronged and complained, suddenly he thought of a question: "Ji'er, are you going with Xu Yan tomorrow?"

  Li Jin nodded: "Zhang Wen called me and asked me to go be their guide."

  "Alright, aren't you going back?" Logically speaking, Li Jin should have gone back.

  "No, I've already called home and told them I'm not coming back. My family thought it was because of Zhang Wen's problem, so they agreed directly. I think Auntie won't mind either, she'll probably have the same idea as my family."

  Zhang Yan nodded, that's right! Who in Li Jin's family doesn't know what she's thinking? Maybe they think she still can't accept it, so they don't want to face the fact about Zhang Wen and Jiang Feng.

  "What are you going?" Gaoyuan listened to a confused expression, what were they going to do tomorrow?

  "Right, you're free tomorrow, aren't you?" Li Jing suddenly thought. Zhang Yan widened his eyes and looked at Gao Yuan with a sympathetic expression.

  Gao Yuan nodded, what's wrong? Why did Li Jin suddenly ask this?

  "Tomorrow, I'm going out to play with Xu Yan and a beautiful girl. If you're free, come with us! Also, help us carry some stuff... it won't be much, really not much!" Li Jing kept emphasizing that it wouldn't be much...

  It's no wonder that Zhang Yan looked at him with sympathetic eyes from the time Li Jing mentioned it, so that's how it was!

  "Not... how much is a lot? What are you asking me to help with? You're not going shopping, are you?"

  Li Jin shrugged and said: "Gao Yuan, you're really clever!"

  "Ah!" Gao Yuan suddenly felt like he was a sheep waiting to be slaughtered...

  "Xu Yan!" Li Jin suddenly shouted, then waved his hand. Xu Yan heard the sound and looked towards Qipai Avenue, where he saw Li Jin, Gao Yuan, and Zhang Yan. Xu Yan excitedly ran over: "How are you all here?!"

  Jiang Feng stood quietly in the back, and it seemed that Xu Yan had forgotten him... But Jiang Feng knew that Xu Yan was just pretending to be the same as usual, but there was something different. Jiang Feng let out a faint sigh!

  "Hey, Jiang Feng, what are you standing there for? People who don't know better would think you're not sociable!" Xu Yan yelled back.

  Jiang Feng walked up to Xu Yan, gently lifted his hand and stroked Xu Yan's hair, saying: "Xu Yan, I wish you could be as obedient as your hair... but that wouldn't be you. This life suits you now." If my family finds out about our relationship, they'll think you're the one who ruined their plans, and your life will never go smoothly again.

  Xu Yan listened to Jiang Feng's words and felt inexplicable, why did he suddenly say that? What does it mean? Such a life... what is it like? But she couldn't ask.

  Gao Yuan looked at Jiang Feng, he guessed that Jiang Feng must have something unspeakable, so he suppressed his emotions? But when he saw Xu Yan, those intense emotions were obvious to everyone, except for Xu Yan, the emotional fool.

  Li Jin was the same, she uncomfortably turned her head away, not wanting to see this... She still couldn't let go... But Jiang Feng liking Xu Yan was a fact, and she had already decided to give up, all she could do was wish them well...

  "Look at you, making the atmosphere all weird."

  Xu Yan pouted and complained, Jiang Feng chuckled and said, "Yan Yan, I..."

  "Jiang Feng!" Zhang Yan pulled Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng was taken aback, secretly shaking his head and sighing. Although I really want to say "I like you" in front of everyone, it's not the right time yet... But if I don't say anything, you'll just misunderstand again, Yan, what should I do? If I could tell you the truth, I would definitely say it, but the problem is that I can't... I'm afraid you'll hate me, and on top of that, she's Zhang Wen, I'm afraid you'll think I only see you as a backup.

  "Come on, let's go have dinner together, and then you can head back afterwards!"

  Xu Yan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that everyone was present today, he nodded in agreement. After dinner, Jiang Feng wanted to send Xu Yan off, but Xu Yan refused: "It's fine, I'll just walk with Gao Yuan, you and Zhang Yan send Li Jin back, make sure she gets home safely!" After saying this, Xu Yan pulled Gao Yuan along and left.

  "What's wrong? Feeling powerless?" Li Jin looked at Jiang Feng gazing at Xu Yan's back and sighed, speaking first.

  "She...must be very sad?"

  "I'll help comfort her for you tomorrow. Any girl would feel uneasy, you say you like her but can't say it in public, she thinks you're just playing with her which is normal too, and besides, she's such a simple person. Just now when you were about to say something and Zhang Yan interrupted, I noticed that there was a flash of panic and disappointment in her eyes."

  "What if I told her that Zhang Wen and I are engaged?" Jiang Feng asked.

  "She is self-abased. Zhang Wen is like a goddess, and any girl in front of her will feel inferior. If she knows about your engagement with Zhang Wen and you introduce them to each other, she'll think you're making a statement that she's not as good as Zhang Wen. You should be grateful that you introduced them, because if you didn't, when she sees Zhang Wen later, what would she think? She's just a plaything for your boredom, don't you think she'd think that way? After all, no one would believe that you'd choose her over Zhang Wen, who is perfect in every aspect - family background, everything. You two are even engaged..."

  "Alright, no need to say anything more!" Jiang Feng clenched his fists, for the first time hating that he was born into such a family...

  Can Jiang Feng break through the current predicament? Alas, writing this makes me feel depressed... Shouldn't I just change to a small white route instead? Is that right? Please collect and recommend!!!
