Chapter 39: Whose Youth Has No Place to Rest

  "Wei Mingyuan, I've told you before that I don't like you. The more you pester me, the more I'll dislike you. There are plenty of girls around you who are vying for your attention, why do you need to waste your time on me? You men are really worthless!"

  "You're worthless to me, I'd rather hang myself from this tree and you wouldn't even give me a rope."

  "Want to die? Then stay a bit further away from me, don't bring bad luck on me."

  "At least tell me what I did wrong or which part of me you dislike."

  "Everywhere is annoying, I hate you no matter what you do." Su Xia loudly scolded without leaving any room for excuse.

  After finishing speaking, Su Xia's heart was like a tightly tied balloon, her heart was twisted in pain, and there was a strong airflow that wanted to break free from the restraints and continuously impact the softest part. Su Xia was really afraid, she was afraid of getting deeper and deeper.

  As soon as the words were spoken, Su Xia regretted it, and she also knew that she shouldn't have hurt someone who truly loved her so deeply. But at this moment, she didn't believe that this was true love, maybe Wei Mingyuan just thought she was different from other girls for a short time.

  Su Xia thought that love was just something that came and went with a call, but soon she would discover that she was wrong, and there really was a kind of love that could penetrate to the marrow.

  In the past, Su Xia had never thought about love in her life. Since her parents' divorce after more than a decade of marriage, she no longer believed in love. Love was something useless, not even as essential as milk or bread.

  For Su Xia, freedom is the highest faith. Now that such a passionate love is in front of her, she can only feel fearful and at a loss. If you ask what a carefree girl like her fears most, it should be this sudden love that slowly seeps into life like a chronic poison.

  Su Xia was contemplating the meaning of life when Wei Mingyuan suddenly appeared in front of her. However, Su Xia directly pushed him away and walked forward. Here, Su Xia didn't know how many times she had pushed Wei Mingyuan into the river, and presumably he wouldn't dare to do anything about it.

  But Su Xia didn't notice that this time Wei Mingyuan appeared with a strong murderous aura, to be precise, with a kind of plundering intent.

  Wei Mingyuan suddenly grabbed Su Xia as she took two steps forward and pulled her into his arms. Just as Su Xia was about to struggle, Wei Mingyuan grasped her other hand and backed away under a tree.

  This time Wei Mingyuan didn't back down from Su Xia at all, and he wouldn't give her another chance to push him into the river. He tightly grasped Su Xia's hand and pressed her against the tree behind her, kissing her forcefully.

  Su Xia was really scared this time, she didn't expect Wei Mingyuan to have such courage, who gave him the guts? Just as she struggled out one hand and was about to slap Wei Mingyuan, he quickly grabbed her palm that hadn't landed on his face yet.

  "Don't hit me, I didn't flirt with anyone, what's wrong with kissing the girl I like? Did I do anything wrong?" Wei Mingyuan's righteous attitude drove Su Xia crazy.

  "Wei Mingyuan, you lunatic." Su Xia was like a mad dog, barking frantically. The first kiss she had saved for twenty years was taken away from her in this situation, and it was indeed unforgivable.

  "Even if I'm crazy, it's because you drove me to it." Wei Mingyuan's expression at this moment made people feel terrified, so ferocious, so step by step oppressive.

  "You..." Su Xia was shocked and couldn't speak, the previously obedient and submissive Wei Mingyuan, actually spoke to her like that today.

  "Don't be angry, I won't bother you again. When I see you, I'll avoid you from afar. From now on, we're just two people who don't know each other. I'll take my restless youth and love and roll out of your life."

  Wei Mingyuan resolutely finished speaking these heart-wrenching words, then turned and left, his eyes clearly welling up with tears that he struggled to hold back.

  Su Xia looked at Wei Mingyuan's back and felt a faint heartache. When she saw Wei Mingyuan suddenly stop in his tracks, Su Xia's heart still had a hint of surprise and excitement. But Wei Mingyuan just shouted loudly and then fled, leaving Su Xia's line of sight.

  "Suxia, I bet you for this lifetime, no one will love you more than me."

  No need for bets, I also believe that in this life, there won't be anyone who loves me more than you. Su Xia's heart was also aching because she might have missed out on her lifetime of happiness due to her stubbornness at this moment.

  "What's wrong with you?" Fang Li saw Su Xia wiping away tears, staring at her disheveled hair, and for a moment didn't know what had happened.

  "I didn't cry when my parents divorced." Su Xia lifted her head and wiped away the few tears mixed with impurities.

  "Su Xia, you're really pitiful, you don't even know when you've fallen in love yourself."

  "I don't know nothing, it's just that I can't love, I don't allow others to easily enter my life, I can live well by myself."

  "Su Xia, why must you pretend to be so strong? You're also a girl, you should have someone to protect you too."

  "I don't need it, I can do it myself, I will protect my own world."

  Su Xia silently took out the only remaining photo of her parents from her diary, on which her parents had their most beautiful smiles. She used to think that was love. But after her parents' first fight shattered the mirrors and photos at home, she knew how fragile love was, even kinship couldn't sustain a broken relationship.

  Wei Mingyuan really did as he said, avoiding all possible times when he might meet Su Xia. He left school a few minutes late, arrived at class ten minutes early, and even ate at restaurants that Su Xia never went to. Occasionally, when he saw Su Xia from afar, he quickly ran away; if it was unavoidable, he simply lowered his head and walked past her without saying a word.

  Fang Li said, "Seeing such a scene, don't you feel uncomfortable in your heart?"

  "I'm just someone who doesn't know how to love or believe in love, and being with me won't make him happy either." Su Xia said lightly.

  "You can be so good to us, why can't you be more merciful to Wei Mingyuan?" Meng Xi confronted Su Xia, blocking her way and asking.

  "If love could be as simple as friendship, I wouldn't be stingy with my emotions." Su Xia's gaze was no longer just on Fang Li and Meng Xi, now she didn't even know what was wrong with herself. She had always thought that there was nothing she couldn't let go of, especially when it came to love. But now, she felt like she was being too cruel, not doing justice to Wei Mingyuan's genuine feelings.

  "You have too deep a defense against love. I think it's just your parents' failure that makes you hard to extricate yourself, maybe you need someone to help you out of the swamp."

  "Maybe!"

  In fact, Su Xia's heart was not unmoved, and she had thought more than once about compromising with Wei Mingyuan's persistence. However, when she thought of her parents' love and the shattered glass all over the floor, she felt that love should always be placed on the highest shelf to avoid danger, and if it were really placed by one's side, it would be like a time bomb that would destroy the entire life.

  Some things are destined to be just a belief, like love. It's so beautiful when we look up to it, but when it falls into the mortal world, it also gets stained with dust. However, we're not willing to give up, and we want to see what it looks like. Most of the time, we think we're lucky and that we'll have something better, but often, pouring all our efforts only leads to wounds and scars.

  Wei Mingyuan really isn't someone nobody pursues, he's good-looking and his family is wealthy, so naturally there are many girls who take the initiative to pursue him. You Su Xia may look down on him, but there are many girls who are eagerly waiting for him!
