Chapter 6: Misunderstandings and Mistakes

  Su Xia said, "If I like someone, I will go all out to win them back."

  "But haven't I become the despicable third party often portrayed in TV dramas?"

  "There's a saying that goes: there are no couples that can't be broken up, only mistresses who don't know how to behave. What's important about the third or fourth mistress is just their order of appearance."

  "It's really hard to see, Su Xia you're actually so evil. I've been blind, and let you lurk by my side for so long." Meng Xi's face was filled with incredulity and disbelief.

  "Go go go."

  "But I really couldn't do it, but I really felt that I had fallen in love with him from that night on. But he actually has a girlfriend, and yet I still can't control myself from loving him. Rebirth of My Secretary Life Full Text."

  "Why so many ifs, either advance or retreat. If you want to be noble, go and set up a 'no marriage' monument; if you want love, go and fight for it, don't care what others think, they can't give you the love you want."

  "But..."

  "Fang Li, at this moment I really don't understand you. Normally when we're together, you're not arrogant or overbearing, but rather like a heroic woman from the rivers and lakes. So why is it that when it comes to An Junli's matter, you become timid and shrinking like a little woman?"

  Actually, Fang Li has been raised by her mother as a lady since she was young, with only one goal in mind: to marry into a wealthy family and bring glory to the family. Her mother often says, "Think about Yang Yuhuan's smile that captivated everyone, making all the beauties in the six palaces lose their color. All my siblings are ordinary, but you, poor thing, were born with a radiant aura. This has made parents all over the world wish they had given birth to a girl instead of a boy. You're not bad-looking either, so be sure to make me proud."

  This sentence was taught to Fang Li by her mother from a very young age, so that she would know the impact of her position in the family. Even when Fang Li was very small, she was required not to make any noise while eating, not to make any noise while walking, not to speak loudly, and if she uttered a dirty word, she would be slapped on the palm of her hand. When there were elders around, she couldn't talk too much either, and the rules for dining with elders had to be remembered at all times.

  But it was precisely because of such strict family education that Fang Li liked friends like Su Xia and Meng Xi who were casual and carefree. She was infected by the freedom on them, slowly getting closer to them, becoming a girl who was not delicate or pretentious.

  But as soon as he saw An Junli, he involuntarily returned to his true form and restored his most primitive cowardice.

  Lin Yitong and An Junli's various flower edge news is still spreading, Fang Li's heart is like soaking in salt water, piece by piece scattered, and then a little bit of salt water sprinkled on. The water is so cool, the heart is so painful, only she herself knows.

  "We should break up!"

  "Do you want to slap your butt and leave, leaving me with all the trouble?"

  "I'm just helping you save face, isn't that enough?"

  "Now everyone says you like someone else, doesn't that mean I've been dumped by you? How can I live with this loss of face in the future?"

  "It can't be that serious, right?"

  "You're not me, of course you won't understand." Lin Yi's voice was tinged with a hint of pleading, and tears were about to fall.

  "How long do you think it will take?" An Junli couldn't help but soften, after all, men are afraid of women's tears.

  "Graduation."

  "Don't be too presumptuous." An Junli turned around and was about to leave.

  "Give me another month then."

  "Alright then, I hope you put your words into action. Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind my back, my patience has its limits."

  The weather is getting hotter and hotter, walking on the road makes my feet feel soft and warm. I wear less clothes and feel like I'm floating in the air. It's as if I'm being pulled by a rising hydrogen balloon, my toes barely touching the ground.

  It's been a week since I ran into An Junli again. Although we often bump into each other at school, Fang Li deliberately avoids eye contact with him and brushes past him like a stranger, without even exchanging a glance.

  "Long time no see," Fang Li said.

  An Junli didn't say a word, but he also didn't show any intention of giving way. It was still early and there were few pedestrians on the road; otherwise, Fang Li would not have had any verbal tussle with another woman's husband in public.

  "How did you end up here, this isn't where you're supposed to be. Although the breakfast is delicious, Lin Yi Tong is in Dong'an District. Fang Li was completely unaware of how much vinegar her words carried, but her heart was tied together in discomfort."

  An Junli still didn't speak, but had a faint smile on his face, as if he was saying "the winner takes all".

  "Do you have something on?" Fang Li asked coldly, although she had a million reluctant thoughts in her heart and had even thought of snatching him to her side. But reason conquered love, she couldn't become the kind of person who steals someone else's boyfriend.

  "Yes, I have something to say to you. Lin Yitang and I are just..."

  "Fang Li." Fang Li heard the voice and turned her head around, while taking a step back to keep distance from An Junli.

  "Tiān yuàn, why are you up so early today?" Fang Li spoke in a hushed tone, as if she had been caught with a secret.

  "I was going to go have breakfast, but since I ran into you, let's walk together."

  Tian Wei took Fang Li's hand and walked towards school, turning around to take a look at An Junli who was hanging his head.

  Fang Li was still perplexed, and Tian Yuan was a decent person in the neighborhood, but Tian Yuan's family had moved in later, and the two were not in the same class, their relationship was limited to polite greetings only, how come today they were so enthusiastic?

  Finally arrived at the classroom and was able to get away from Tian Wei's sticky arm, Su Xia and Meng Xi both came over.

  "What's going on? When did you get so close with Tian Wei? Is there some kind of conspiracy or something?"

  "What can I do? I don't know what's going on either."

  "I'm saying she has some ulterior motive, Tianyuan is that kind of sinister woman, be careful or she'll swallow you whole and not even leave any bones behind." Mengxi reminded kindly.

  "But what can I use? This is all I have, this leather bag she can't take away, and I don't have anything else."

  "Who knows what's on her mind, anyway, you'd better be careful and don't let others take advantage of you without even realizing it."

  "Oh." Fang Li's mind was already a mess early in the morning, and it completely shut down during math class. Even this afternoon, Fang Li's books were spotless, but her brain was filled with all sorts of wild animals.

  What actually makes Fang Li more worried is what An Junlei wants to talk to her about. Although they have met a few times, the two people are still no different from strangers. How does An Junlei have something to say to her? Is it that her own secret admiration has already been seen through by others?

  Fang Li was entangled in major life events, but Lin Yitong wouldn't calm down for a moment. She always spread other people's affairs like worthless trash, and then packaged her own affairs beautifully to sell them out, taking great pleasure in it.

  "I just heard Lin Yi Tong at the door telling someone that they want to celebrate being with An Jun Li for a whole month." Meng Xi always gets the latest gossip.

  "Hey, who doesn't know Lin Yi Tong? Always trying to make herself out to be a star, even eating Korean BBQ at noon has to be broadcasted everywhere, as if afraid that no one in the world knows."

  This is true, Lin Yitong is like a plague god, not a chicken or duck plague, but a thorough elimination of all kinds of people who are not pleasing to her. Just like if someone's meal doesn't meet her expectations and unfortunately gets visited by her, it's basically close to bankruptcy. It's not that everyone believes in her taste, but Lin Yitong will describe something she doesn't like as so miserable that it's unbearable for both humans and gods.

  Just like last time, that fast food restaurant was actually very delicious, but Lin Yitang insisted that the store had a strange smell, a kind of rotten and moldy taste. Who knows what unspeakable things they did behind closed doors, maybe there's even minced human flesh in the food. And then there's Li Jie's boxed lunches at school, every time they'd give us a lot of soup to make it easy for classmates who like to soak their rice. Lin Yitang would say, "Is that something people eat? It's clearly pig feed, our dog eats better than that." So if you don't want to be a pig and eat worse than what dogs eat, then you should think thrice before eating. After all, one mouthful of food can lead to eternal regret. In conclusion, Lin Yitang's greatest talent is making others vomit, her unique function is also making people vomit.

  However, Fang Li couldn't care less about spitting it out. What she was thinking about was that An Junli and Lin Yitang seemed to be a bit off. This campus-wide romance, which seemed to be only Lin Yitang's one-sided love affair. And An Junli had never shown up for his own romance, not even a scene of him and Lin Yitang together had been captured before, wasn't that strange?
