Chapter 20: I Insist on Letting You See Me

  Mo Xiao turned his head back and glanced at Fang Li's faint smile, then silently turned his head back.

  "Come, stand here, don't waste words, when I tell you to stand, just stand. You stand here, go stand over there."

  "It's so hot outside, are you going to stick to me like that?!" Xi Jue reluctantly stood up.

  "Stop being so pretentious." Mo Xiao said irritably. With just a few people, did he also have to line up for them? Was it obsessive-compulsive disorder or something?

  Fang Li was still unclear about the situation, and suddenly a wall of people stood in front of him, making him feel much cooler. At this moment, a patch of 'shade' was even more delightful than the next heavy rain shower.

  Mo Xiao turned her head back and said, "It's much better now!"

  Fang Li's reaction arc was very long. At first, she asked "What?" and then knowingly said "Much better."

  "That's it, actually no need to be like this, really no need, I'm fine." Fang Li reverted back to her shy and coy appearance.

  This kind of 'girl' is really hateful, obviously a stronger 'girl', but always blushes at the slightest movement, deceiving the audience's senses as if weak and fragile.

  At this time, Su Xia and Meng Xi appeared on the horizon again, winking at Fang Li and making eyes at him, indicating that he should seize the opportunity, as handsome guys are hard to come by.

  Afternoon struggle, finally finished reporting, it's really hard to report, harder than ascending to heaven. School reporting is difficult, and going to school for reporting in summer is even more difficult. After experiencing today's scorching sun, everyone seems to have been drained of energy, and even walking home can't lift their spirits.

  "You've taken a liking to someone else's wife, brother is helping you." Walking on the road, Su Qi'er kept asking questions.

  "What's her name, Shen Fangli, right? She looks pretty good, big eyes and double eyelids." Seeing Mo Xiao not responding to him, Su Qier changed his strategy to probe from the side.

  "I remember An Junli and his acquaintances!" Su Qi'er suddenly became sober at this moment.

  "Don't interrupt." Xī zǎi suddenly became very serious.

  "Seriously, Mo Xiao told your brother if you really have a crush on that Shen Fang Lei?" Xi Zuo asked.

  "Maybe!" Mo Xiao replied vaguely.

  At dinner time, Mo Xiao said, "Brother is going after a girl, will you guys just sit back and do nothing?"

  "Of course not." Su Qi'er spat out the 'meat' she had just put in her mouth, jumping up from her chair, "Let's raise our hands and feet to support him, our brother is so handsome, whatever his 'girlfriend' wants, it's all okay."

  "Hey, Junli, you know her, would you be willing to help me out and talk to her for a bit? I think it would be too abrupt if I went directly, and I don't have any experience, so I don't know how to get to know her well." Mo Xiao said with an imploring tone, his eyes also filled with sincerity.

  "Of course." An Junli had no hesitation in stabbing his friends in the back.

  After dinner, Xi Zai dragged An Junli out for a walk. When they arrived at the square, the cool water in the fountain suddenly splashed out, bringing an unexpected refreshing feeling that was hard to resist. On the bench opposite them sat a couple of lovers, with the man's hand still resting on the girl's delicate shoulder.

  "Will you help Mo Xiao?" Xi Zao asked suddenly.

  "Of course." An Junli said calmly.

  "Don't force yourself." Xiāo patted ān jūn lí's shoulder.

  An Junli rode his bicycle and suddenly stopped in front of Fang Li, Su Xia grabbed Fang Li's hand and blocked him, saying "An Junli, what do you want to do again? Don't think we're easy to bully."

  "No, I'm here to hold the red thread." An Junli said with a sly remark, but with a serious face.

  "For whom, for you, I'm afraid our red thread is not enough, and the girl is also out of stock." Su Xia had never been in a good mood towards An Junli.

  "For Fang Li."

  "Oh? Tell me about it."

  "We brothers have taken a liking to Miss Fang Li."

  "Who?"

  "Mo Xiao, I think he's quite good, you two should be a good match." An Junli said to Fang Li.

  Fang Li said, "You know I've always..."

  "We've been looking for Fang Li all along, thank you for your kindness, we'll consider it." Su Xia said.

  "That's good, Mo Xiao will definitely love you well, forget about me, I'm not worthy of you." An Junli said softly before leaving.

  "You've finally said something that makes sense." Meng Xi said with a smirk on her face.

  Then An Junli adjusted his backpack straps and rode away with a flourish. Fang Li watched his back until tears streamed down, and even the blurry figure was invisible. What Fang Li cared about wasn't how good An Junli's words sounded, but why he had to rush to push himself to someone else even if he didn't like her.

  Under the corner of An Junli's building. The patter of rain made Fang Li's heart thoroughly 'wet'. A young girl's heart was hurt again and again because of love, now Fang Li's heart has broken through the last line of defense.

  "Do you really want me and Mo Xiao to be together?"

  "That's your business and has nothing to do with me." An Junli's chest suddenly hurt, not knowing if it was because of emotional entanglement or the inexplicable rain that made people feel depressed.

  "Even if you don't like me, can't you treat me as a friend?" Fang Li's tears were more turbulent than the rain, and An Junli's heart was also raging in the dark.

  "Do you know how much I really dislike you? Don't let me see you again." An Junli covered his chest and left.

  "I just want you to see me." At this moment, Fang Li's small universe in her heart really exploded.

  Loving someone is not wrong, so not loving someone is wrong?

  Mo Xiao's love letter has arrived, the writing is very good, it can be seen that it was carefully prepared. The paper even smells like rose fragrance, as if it had been soaked in it. Fang Li has a slight fondness for this boy's meticulousness. If this were written by An Junli, even one awkward sentence would be enough to drive her crazy. But if someone else wrote it, no matter how sincere or eloquent the words are, they wouldn't move her heart.

  It's often the people you love who hurt you the most, so the person you love will also make it easier for you to hate. As for the reason for hatred: not loving her is enough. At least now, the more An Junlei dislikes Fang Li, the more she thinks he is hateful.

  "After school, I'll wait for you on the small playground east of campus. - An Junlei"

  Is it really Ah Jun Li giving it to me? Fang Li thought, although her heart was full of doubts, but still had a faint idea floating around. Girls are just more foolish, give them a little hope and they can imagine a passionate love affair, and be happy for a long time because of it.

  An Junli's three words were like a magnetic field, and Fang Li unknowingly walked there after school. Step by step, she got closer, and her heart became colder and colder.

  Because of the blurry figure in front, she destroyed all her imagination about An Junli. She was defeated by An Junli, losing without a scratch, but leaving behind a knife that cut into her heart at every moment, with no scars, only blood and pain.

  As expected, at the moment Mo Xiao turned back, Fang Li had prepared herself, but her heart was still cut like a knife.

  "Are you familiar with An Junli?" Fang Li regained her good mood, she was used to the disappointment that An Junli gave her, but still couldn't get used to the pain.

  "Well, we're especially good brothers." Mo Xiao said sincerely.

  "Oh, I was wondering why he would come to me for this matter."

  "Will you be unhappy?"

  "No, just asking casually."

  "Then would you like to be my girlfriend? I'm a person who doesn't know how to talk, and won't be able to make girls like me, but I will treat you sincerely."
