The benefits of being dark-skinned

  While several people were discussing, Jiang Feng also didn't idle around, pulling Xu Yan to run into the first floor of the supermarket. The first floor of the supermarket had a passageway at the entrance, then after passing through the second door, there was a clothing store inside, and there were also several counters selling gold and silver jewelry.

  "Promise!" Jiang Feng dragged Xu Yan into a room and started yelling.

  Xu Yan impatiently scratched his ear: "Jiang Feng, have you eaten gunpowder?"

  "Yes, I've had enough of this. At least when I'm in a bad mood, I express it. Better than you who haven't had enough."

  "You have many friends who can listen to your venting."

  "Don't you have any friends? Am I not your friend? Don't forget, I've said before that I consider you as a brother, so you can also consider me as your brother."

  "How many days have you and I known each other?" Xǔ Yán said bluntly.

  "How many days? I'm asking you, is there anyone who has known you for several years or even tens of years, but it's as if they've never met you before? The relationship between people can't be measured by the length of time. Although I've only known you for a few days, at least I can roughly understand you, and although you don't understand me, I'm sincerely willing to be friends with you. Of course, maybe you don't even consider me as a friend." Jiang Feng felt a little disappointed.

  "Jiang Feng... thank you for being with me all this time."

  "You're welcome, it's my pleasure."

  "But aren't friends supposed to care about each other?" Although Xu Yan had never thought that her friends had ever cared about her.

  "Wrong! Your idea is completely wrong!"

  Xu Yan was shocked, what's wrong? Her small eyes stared... anyway, it was the biggest she could stare.

  "Haven't you heard this saying: I'd stab two knives into my ribs for a friend, but for the one I love, I can stab two knives into my friends."

  "I've heard it before. And I just heard it recently too."

  "So, I'll be your scapegoat, find me when you're in a bad mood. I'm your loyal scapegoat."

  Xu Yan said with a pretended awkward expression: "How can that be good?" Originally, Jiang Feng thought she was really embarrassed, but Xu Yan said: "Then you'd better get ready. My cannon fodder isn't easy to play with. I wonder, after I use you as cannon fodder, who will you use as cannon fodder?"

  "Zhang Yan!" Jiang Feng faintly spat out two words, but this result was already within Xu Yan's expectations.

  "Jiang Feng, you know Dong Jie, right?"

  Jiang Feng looked at Xu Yan and knew she was concerned: "That day you drove me away, but I didn't feel comfortable in my heart! So I thought of turning back to find you to vent, and as a result, I ran into him. He told me a lot about what happened between you two, so I can understand a bit now."

  "What did he say?" Xǔ Yuàn listened to him saying a lot and immediately became nervous.

  "You're so tense? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. And I think you gave up too much for him, it's not worth it."

  "Come to think of it, he later told me... that the reason for breaking up with me was because of what you taught him?"

  "Hmm." Jiang Feng was indeed honest. Xu Yan felt relieved now, she knew that Dong Jie wouldn't say something like that.

  "Every word, I think Dong Jie said one thing that's very right, when you're by his side, you'll never grow up. You've paid out so much for Dong Jie, but he also spoils you a lot, right? That's why you can be so arrogant, and only take him seriously. Have you ever thought about yourself?"

  Xu Yan was silent, yes, in the past when she was by Ajie's side, she always felt that with him, everything was enough. She ignored all the people around her. As a result, she developed such a lonely personality, she didn't know that after losing Dong Jie, she had nothing left, not even friends. In the past, she didn't feel it, but today, because of Li Jing's intentional disregard, she felt the coldness and warmth of human relationships. She... had never lived for herself.

  "You can continue to love him, but what about you in the future? Will he really be there for your life after this? We're still in college now, what about after graduation? He has 4 more years until graduation, 4 years, it's neither long nor short, yet it's enough time for him to forget you."

  "Jiang Feng, was I wrong to love him?"

  "You're not wrong, loving someone has never been wrong. Heaven arranged for you to meet him at the wrong time, made a mistake, and then corrected it, letting him leave you at the right moment. That's all. But if you love him so much that you lose yourself, then that's where you're wrong."

  "What am I supposed to do? A habit of so many years for one person, how can it be changed so easily?"

  "I'll help you. Besides, no one is asking you to change immediately! Take your time, as long as you're willing to change, that's all that matters." Jiang Feng said seriously, Xu Yan looked up and met Jiang Feng's serious gaze.

  "Why are you so good to me?"

  "I once said that I would let the flowers that withered by Dong Jie's side bloom again!"

  "Is it just for this?"

  "Don't you think I liked playing with you before I met Dong Jie?"

  "Hmm, why?" Xu Yan nodded unknowingly.

  "I don't know. Maybe it's because I feel at ease when I'm with you... there's no pressure at all. And also, as I said before, the relationship between people can't be determined by time. When I first met you, I had a pretty good impression of you. Limited to friends..."

  "It's fine, no need to deliberately distance yourself from me, as if I'd stick to you or something."

  Jiang Feng smiled foolishly.

  Xu Yan looked at his smile and suddenly said: "All depression is caused by being unable to live up to the ideal self!"

  Jiang Feng didn't understand, "What does it mean?"

  "I thought I was like this before? I hope I'm omnipotent, but it's just that I can't do anything."

  "At least you've accomplished one thing." Xuyan wondered what that was. Jiang Feng said: "You're a god of pits, what do you think!" After finishing, Jiang Feng's mood was particularly good, and he pulled Xuyan's hand into the supermarket. The rain hadn't stopped yet, so they had to hurry up and buy an umbrella back!

  Xu Yan looked at him holding her hand, her face burning hot. At this moment, she couldn't say anything to refute him. Forget it, let's just go with the flow! She took a deep breath and blew air to fan herself, feeling grateful that she wasn't born with pale skin.

  "What's wrong? Blushing?" Jiang Feng saw that Xu Yan had been silent for a long time, so he took a look and happened to see such an extraordinary scene. Looking at the two hands holding each other, he felt happy in his heart and decided to tease her.

  But what's so funny about Xu Yan? "Who blushed? Which eye of yours saw me blush?"

  "Yes, yes, yes, this is the benefit of having a dark complexion, even if you blush, it's not visible!" Jiang Feng really is, always speaking the truth!
