Collapse (Revised)

  Xu Yan and Gao Yuan walked on their way back to school. Gao Yuan looked at Xu Yan, who was unusually quiet, wondering what Jiang Feng wanted to say?

  "What's wrong with you?"

  "What? Nothing!" Xuyan forced a smile.

  "Stop smiling, it's unbecoming! Don't smile when you're feeling sad! Just now, Jiang Feng was about to tell you something, wasn't he?"

  Xu Yan's whole body trembled, what was Jiang Feng going to say? It wasn't her illusion, even Gao Yuan felt it...

  "You felt it too, right? I think he really wanted to tell me something, but why did Zhang Yan interrupt him? Was it to prevent me from knowing? Or... am I just misunderstanding? If not, why did Jiang Feng stop talking after being interrupted?"

  "Is Jiang Feng hiding something from you? What's going on between you and Jiang Feng? Jiang Feng likes you! You like him too!"

  "Really? You know?" Xu Yan was shocked, but why did he say that Jiang Feng liked her?

  "It's obvious that Jiang Feng also likes you, I said before that he liked you, and later I found out that you like him too!"

  "Does he like me? Does he really like me? But I'm not good enough, not even qualified to let him acknowledge it in front of others! In front of others, he and I will always just be friends, can only ever be friends. Even if everyone says he likes me, he won't admit it. Gao Yuan, do you think I'm really that bad?" Xu Yan said, already tears streaming down her face.

  Gaoyuan didn't know what to do, he had never seen Xuyan cry so sadly before. Even the last time she broke up with Dongjie, she only looked very down, but didn't cry. Gaoyuan had even thought that her heart was made of stone! But she and Jiangfeng hadn't even officially started dating yet, and she was already so heartbroken for him, was he really a man of iron and stone?

  Gao Yuan always thought that a woman's tears were the most troublesome thing and should be avoided, but when Xu Yan cried, he really wanted to comfort her. If possible, he was willing to do anything to comfort her. However, he didn't know what method to use to talk to her now. Should he just tell her not to cry?

  What a powerless sentence, her tears can't be stopped just by saying don't cry.

  "Yanyan, you're not bad at all, you're the best! It's all Jiang Feng's fault!"

  No matter what's going on between them, it's Jiang Feng's fault that Xu Yan cried!

  Gao Yuan used to think that the law of tears in relationships was: no matter how wrong she was, the moment she started crying, he was wrong. But now Gao Yuan has discovered that this doesn't apply to Xu Yan. For a girl like Xu Yan, whoever makes her cry must be guilty of a grave mistake! Xu Yan wasn't wrong at all, all the mistakes were Jiang Feng's alone! This isn't a conclusion derived from the law of tears, it's just the truth. Gao Yuan has finally realized that the so-called law of tears is just an excuse for not wanting to admit one's own mistakes.

  Xu Yan rushed into Gao Yuan's arms and burst out crying. Gao Yuan gently held her, his heart aching terribly.

  He could only hold her like that, lend her a shoulder, and let her cry to her heart's content.

  Xu Yan cried until her throat was hoarse, and she finally stopped crying with a sob. Gaoyuan looked at his own shoulder and found that it had been wetted by a large patch...

  Xu Yan's tears are really many! Xu Yan said in a hoarse voice: "Gao Yuan, thank you."

  "Why must you thank me? You didn't call me Sister Yan for nothing while I gave you a shoulder to lean on, did you?"

  Xu Yan was amused by Gao Yuan's words, which he had said when they first met. She didn't expect him to still remember them! "Gao Yuan, don't you think I'm being unreasonable? Don't you think I'm not good... especially towards you..."

  "You won't, how about you? You and I both know each other's thoughts. You don't like me, and as for me, although I like you, it's not that kind of liking between men and women... I said I'd chase after you, but you didn't take it seriously... Ah? It seems like you're not very good to me!"

  Xu Yan was amused again by Gao Yuan's words, but Gao Yuan knew that even if she laughed at this moment, it wasn't genuine. She wasn't happy, and he didn't know how sad she would be when she was left alone again.

  "Say... can I ask, what's going on between you two?" Gaoyuan asked cautiously.

  Xu Yan lowered her eyelids and said softly: "Gao Yuan, Jiang Feng said he likes me, should I believe him?"

  "Huh?" Gaoyuan didn't understand what Xuyan was afraid of. Jiang Feng liking her was something that everyone could see.

  "He likes me, but doesn't dare to say it out loud. In front of others, he and I are forever just friends, forever... I'm always his good buddy, even if everyone else knows that he actually likes me. Is it because my personality makes him not dare, or can't say that he likes me? Or does he think that my personality is... embarrassing? If so, I'd rather he didn't like me."

  Gao Yuan furrowed his brow, would Jiang Feng think that way? Jiang Feng shouldn't be that kind of person, but why did Xu Yan have such a feeling? Just now, Jiang Feng indeed wanted to say something but was stopped by Zhang Yan, what exactly was it that they couldn't let Yan know...

  "Yanyan, I think your personality is great, so genuine and true to yourself. No one would ever think you're embarrassing, compared to those materialistic girls or pretentious girls, you're a thousand times better! If Jiang Feng thinks that way, it just proves he has no taste. But if he had no taste, he wouldn't have fallen for you in the first place! So Yanyan, don't worry, he must not be thinking that way, maybe he's just hiding something he can't say..."

  Is it unspoken? If Jiang Feng really has, when will he tell me? How long do I have to wait? Wait... Gao Yuan, you know, I'm so tired. Every time I feel Jiang Feng's attitude, I feel like collapsing once. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait... But can I choose not to wait?

  "Far away, I think I should calm down and think carefully, I feel like my mind is very muddled now..."

  "Okay, it's alright, just follow your heart and you'll be fine. If you really like him, then believe in him."

  Xu Yan nodded, she really liked Jiang Feng, but believing him... She didn't know if she could do it, but she knew that not believing him was something she absolutely couldn't do! Sometimes she felt very contradictory.

  She doesn't have a bright appearance, nor a gentle temperament, and she's not as smart as Li Jing and Zhang Wen. Jiang Feng, no matter how you look at it, is a rich second-generation son, although his behavior is different from that of a spoiled brat, but his family background is very good, this is certain, at least he is also a rich second generation, what makes him like such an ordinary her?

  Xu Yan's family was not poor, but they were not extremely wealthy either. Xu Yan had never known who her father was since she was a child, and she even took her mother's surname. She had asked before, but every time she did, her mother would cry. Now that she was grown up, she no longer asked, afraid of seeing her mother's tears. Her mother was a true strong woman, having raised Xu Yan on her own and providing a rich life for her. Xu Yan's mother treated her like a precious gem, and Xu Yan had once thought that as long as her mother was around, she could be her little princess forever.

  Even if she had been so willful for Dong Jie before, her mother didn't say a word against her. Her mother supported all of her decisions.

  "What's wrong?" Gaoyuan saw Xuyan spacing out and tried calling her.

  "Oh? Ah, I just remembered something... Gao Yuan, thank you so much today. Maybe I should take your words into consideration."

  "Hmm." Gaoyuan nodded, wondering when she had become so absent-minded. It seemed that after all, she was indeed hurt by Jiang Feng...

  Sorry about that, I just modified it today and sent it out already, so the overall idea can't be changed, just like this!!! Please collect and recommend it!!! Mua mua da~~~
