Am I going white?

  "Xian Xian, you've never doubted Jiang Feng's feelings for you, have you? It's also true that anyone can see how Jiang Feng feels about you, and there's no need to doubt it... but... this very feeling might become an obstacle between the two of you..."

  "Wenwen, what do you mean? Jiang Feng... is there someone else you like?" Xu Yan's heart was racing fast, she was afraid to hear Zhang Wen give a positive answer, she was afraid to know that in Jiang Feng's heart, she wasn't the only one.

  Although Xu Yan had never promised Jiang Feng, Xu Yan's feelings for Jiang Feng were also very deep. She finally believed in one of Jiang Feng's words: the emotions between people are not measured by time; some people may have known each other for a short time but feel like they've known each other for a long time, while others who have known each other since childhood seem like strangers.

  "Yiyan, you're thinking too much, it's not like that. From the time I got to know Jiang Feng to now, what I've heard about Jiang Feng is that although he has a lot of girlfriends, he only has one girlfriend, Jin'er. And the reason he's with Jin'er is because of pressure from his family. At that time, he was very rebellious, so he just went along with Jin'er...just to let his parents know his determination...of course, none of us have ever told Jin'er about this. We're afraid it would make Jin'er even more heartbroken."

  "But isn't this very cruel to Jiang Feng?"

  "Could it be that Jiang Feng also liked her at first? Although he's rebellious, if he didn't have some feelings for her, do you think he would be with her?" Zhang Wen said calmly, but Xu Yan's heart was stirred up by her words. Yes, someone like Jiang Feng wouldn't be with her unless he had feelings for her.

  "Wenwen, can you tell me, you said emotions will become an obstacle between us, what kind of emotion is it?"

  "It's Jiang Feng's feelings for you, he likes you so much, and you also like him just the same. If one day you find that there are obstacles between you two, which could have been solved, but with your temperaments, it will become very complicated! Alas, I haven't even resolved my own issues, yet here I am talking about yours, and even if I did say something, I wouldn't be able to help you anyway."

  "Wenwen, what's wrong with you today?" I feel like Wenwen is really down in the dumps today!

  "My family situation is similar to yours and Jiang Feng's. Let's just say that if we were in ancient times, my family would be the royal relatives, while Jiao Yang's family would be ordinary citizens. My family didn't approve of me being with him, so they arranged for me to marry another royal relative instead. But then I got dumped by that guy! Although my grandfather didn't say anything about it, my parents were really unhappy. The other side said their son had some issues with his behavior and they were afraid he'd ruin me, but the real reason was just a matter of saving face..." Zhang Wen shrugged her shoulders.

  "Oh, I get it!" Zhang Wen said with a comparison, and Xu Yan understood. "Wenwen, there's a poem by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty that says... what was it? Let me think... Ah, yes! It's 'When the mountain is exhausted and the water is drained, you doubt there's no road; but then the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and there's another village!'"

  "Is that from Lu You of the Song Dynasty?" Zhang Wen was left speechless by Xu Yan's words! Li Bai and Lu You weren't even from the same dynasty, okay?! If Lu You had heard this, he would have died from rage a thousand times over. And Li Bai would have lived for a thousand more years!

  "Huh? Isn't that Li Bai's poem? Then why did I remember it as his? What has Li Bai done?"

  "Alright, you can ask your family's Jiang Feng about this later, I won't be teaching you!" Zhang Wen bluntly pushed the responsibility away.

  "Jiang Feng isn't my family either!" Xuyan pouted, muttering to herself. Zhang Wen thought to herself, if you don't even respond to them, how can they possibly be your family? It's also your own fault for being so strange. But she only thought this and didn't say it out loud. After all, Xuyan was too overbearing.

  "Say something. Why have you always ignored Jiang Feng?"

  "I didn't refuse, at first I wanted to take a little revenge. Who made him not agree when I confessed to him at the beginning, and said that he only treated me as a buddy? Did he like me so quickly just because I was his buddy? I also knew he had liked me for a long time. I don't understand why he didn't admit it, since he didn't say anything, I wouldn't go ask him either, but tormenting him for a while is still possible."

  "You! You're getting more and more ridiculous every day! And then what? When I was at home, Jiao Yang told me that Jiang Feng used to dislike snow, saying it's dirty. But this time he's actually looking forward to it, saying it's the first snow... I knew for sure it had something to do with you. Later, Jiao Yang said that you would agree to him on the first snow, but shouldn't the first snow have passed already? Weren't the last two days the first snow?"

  "Because he deceived me! So I didn't agree with him. Wenwen, you don't know how despicable Jiang Feng is! He clearly knew that the person in the game was me, but he still wouldn't admit it, and even said on the game that he liked me and all that, making me not know what to do."

  "Haha, I know this one too!" As soon as she mentioned the game, Zhang Wen understood.

  "Wenwen? You knew too? You didn't even tell me!" Xu Yan pretended to be angry, while Zhang Wen looked at her with a smile. Suddenly, Zhang Wen realized that the gloomy feeling she had when she left home earlier was gone. Was it because of Xu Yan's words or because of Xu Yan herself?

  "Yanyan, do you know? I think Jiang Feng will suffer a lot, and all these sufferings are caused by you. Jiang Feng is someone who has lived a life without any waves or ripples, too calm and too smooth, so there should be someone to stir him up. So don't agree with him easily."

  Xu Yan nodded as if she understood, but actually didn't. "You know him well? Didn't you say you only met him three times before?"

  "I've only met him three times, but I... because of Jiao Yang's sake, I investigated him. Although it's not very accurate, he was always a top student in school, and to the students, he was like a god-like existence. His family, his parents are typical... hmm, how should I put it? They can bully their own son, but if an outsider dares to bully their son, that's not allowed! Do you think in such an environment, he would be bullied or suffer? If we're talking about suffering, it should be from his strict training since young, right? But it's not like he was trained in Shaolin Temple or anything, haha!" Zhang Wen laughed loudly.

  Xu Yan felt that it was indeed this way. Okay, Xu Jie had been deceived too much.

  Jiao Yang looked at Zhang Wen and said: "Xu Yan really has a way, no wonder she's a little devil!"

  "If Yan really is a little devil, I don't believe you'd let Zhang Wen be alone with her! If you trust Yan, then just trust her, why are you being so stubborn? Not even willing to say one sincere word, not willing to admit it? It's really hard to understand you!" Jiang Feng shook his head in frustration.

  Jiao Yang glared at Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng was staring at Xu Yan with a dazed expression, not caring that Jiao Yang was glaring at him in anger.

  Finally, Jiao Yang looked like a deflated balloon. It seemed that the beauty effect was indeed better. Turning his head to look at Zhang Wen, he still thought Wenwen was prettier.

  "Those two fools, don't know what to say, just now they were still in a rage, now they're all dazed." Xuyan glanced at Jiang Feng and others, Zhang Wen also followed suit and took a look: "Yanyan, Jiang Feng is staring at you, he's infatuated!"

  Xu Yan's face turned red instantly because of Zhang Wen's words, "Wenwen stop talking nonsense!"

  Zhang Wen was excited as if she had discovered a new continent: "Yan Yan, you can actually blush! I've never seen it before!" Zhang Wen had never seen it before, so she found it very strange. Even the last time at the entrance of Gongda, she hadn't seen Xu Yan's face turn red.

  "Wenwen! You're teasing me too!" Xu Yan touched her slightly red face and said: "Wenwen, do you think I've gotten paler recently?"

  "What?" Zhang Wen didn't understand why Xu Yan suddenly said she had turned white. What was going on here?!

  "Yeah, it used to be that I wouldn't blush, every time my face would just get hot and then I'd know myself. Now it's become hot and red, and then everyone knows! Before, Jiang Feng said that the advantage of having dark skin is that you can't tell when you're blushing, but now...I'm actually blushing, does that mean I've turned white?" Xu Yan excitedly looked at Zhang Wen, hoping for a positive response.

  Zhang Wen was embarrassed, when she saw Xu Yan, her skin was wheat-colored at that time, and it's still wheat-colored now, how could she answer? Should she say she didn't turn pale? That's impossible! Say she didn't turn red? She would definitely ask: Then why did I blush?

  Zhang Wen felt that this was a big problem! How to answer? She looked at Jiang Feng helplessly, Jiang Feng suddenly came back to his senses, what's wrong? Why is Zhang Wen making this expression? At this time, Jiao Yang also noticed, he frowned, could it be that Xu Yan gave Wenwen another difficult question?

  "Go, take a look!" Jiang Feng had been wanting to go over for a long time and now had an excuse. Jiao Yang nodded, and the two of them moved towards the girls nearby. Xu Yan said: "Wenwen, if Jiang Feng asks you, don't tell him, okay?"

  Zhang Wen smiled lightly and nodded.

  "What's wrong, Zhang Wen?"

  "Wenwen, what's wrong?" Jiang Feng and Jiao Yang asked in unison. Xu Yan furrowed his brow, when did these two become so tacit? And they were both asking Zhang Wen, Xu Yan felt uncomfortable! Jiang Feng didn't even ask me when he came over!

  "Huh, Yan Yan, how did you just answer? Tell me what was it? I really want to know the answer, so I came over and asked Wen Wen first! I have to be nice to her, or she might tell me, right?" Jiang Feng is indeed a clever person, instantly coming up with a very reasonable excuse.

  Xu Yan nodded, as if that's how it was. "Alright then, I won't say anything this time, let's just consider it that way!"

  "Hmm, it must be so! Yan Yan, have you had breakfast this early morning?"

  Xu Yan shook her head, she was woken up by someone this early morning, how could she eat? "Early in the morning, I don't know what's wrong with Zhang Qiang, he was arguing with someone on the phone and woke me up. If it wasn't for Wenwen's call, I wouldn't have answered."

  "So, in a way, she did something good, right?" Jiang Feng felt suffocated. Why was Xuan always sleeping when he called! It was so unfair, he started to look forward to Zhang Qiang having loud phone calls every morning!

  "Bring it on!" Xuyan glanced at Jiang Feng and said, "If she's going to call me every morning to argue, I'll strangle the person who calls me!"

  Jiang Feng's mouth twitched, and he said, "Xu Yan, why are you clever when you shouldn't be and stupid when you should be clever!"
