Chapter 7: Chen Qian's View of Love

  Jiang Feiya is a lovely girl with outstanding temperament, elegant demeanor, and extraordinary speech. She comes from the same family background as Rong Xuan and has been following him since childhood, calling out "Rong Xuan gege" non-stop. Nobody knows how long she has liked Rong Xuan, not even herself. In order to be with Rong Xuan, she chose this high school after graduating from junior high because he was here. When it came time for the liberal arts and science divisions, she resolutely gave up her strong suit in liberal arts and chose the abstruse and difficult science division, all because of Rong Xuan.

  Rong Xuan was like a radiant being, wherever he went, the place would become vibrant and colorful. He was sunny and handsome, with a bright smile, and his grades were excellent. Every move he made tugged at her heartstrings, making her want to get closer to him. But he treated himself as her younger sister, how could that be? Jiang Xiangya found it hard to accept, but he patted her head, smiling and saying: "Little girl, in the future if you find someone you like, let brother help you keep an eye on them. If they bully you, just tell brother, brother will help teach them a lesson..."

  At that time, she looked at him, in his eyes there was no other distraction, only the doting of a brother to a sister. She suddenly felt very afraid, afraid that if she told him, the person she liked was him, he would turn around and leave, taking away the feelings of a brother to a sister, leaving her alone, unable to do anything but watch him leave.

  She couldn't! So she didn't say anything, just wanting to stay by his side, protecting him, and even looking at him made her feel happy. But one day, she suddenly realized that something was changing little by little, but she couldn't find out what it was.

  Now she knew, Mo Xi Wu's appearance changed Rong Xuan. On the second day after transferring classes, from the moment Rong Xuan saw Mo Xi Wu, the Rong Xuan who belonged to her began to change. At that time, she was just laughing and watching from the side, thinking it was because Mo Xi Wu had provoked Rong Xuan's brother, so Rong Xuan's brother would find trouble with Mo Xi Wu every day. Now it seems, everyone has been deceived by Rong Xuan's brother.

  Rong Xuan's brother is warm and humorous, but why does he always speak harshly to Mo Xi Wu? The words that come out of his mouth are sometimes so excessive that even bystanders feel uncomfortable. Why does Mo Xi Wu's attempts to calm things down only lead to Rong Xuan's more intense reactions? And why does Rong Xuan always find fault with Mo Xi Wu for no reason? These incidents have happened so many times that she can't count them, but it turns out that Rong Xuan just wanted to get Mo Xi Wu's attention.

  It's really laughable, such an obvious thing happens several times a day, but she can't see it, and she never thought that Rong Xuan liked Mo Xi Wu, the transfer student who is like an invisible person.

  Mo Xi Wu wasn't pretty, her figure was thin and dry, although she wore famous brand clothes, it still couldn't hide her timid appearance. She didn't know how to put on makeup or dress up, her bangs were long enough to almost cover her eyes, wearing a pair of black glasses that looked like scaffolding. It's hard for Jiang Xiang Ya to accept that someone like this would be the one Rong Xuan likes.

  At night, she lay in bed in the dormitory, staring at the dark room. Mo Xi Wu couldn't sleep, her mind was filled with what happened tonight. Thinking of her lips brushing against his face, her cheeks flushed, her pulse racing wildly, unconsciously touching her own lips. Fortunately, the power went out, and Chen Qian couldn't see her face.

  "Qian Chen, are you asleep?" Mo Xi Wu spoke to Qian Chen for the first time after lights out.

  "No." A low, muffled voice came from the bed opposite. Mo Xi Wu turned his head and saw that there was still a faint light on Chen Qian's side, where she was reading under the lamp.

  After a while, Chen Qian didn't hear Mo Xi Wu speak, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have anything to say?"

  Mo Xi Wu's heart warmed up, Chen Qian was cold and didn't like to talk, usually she took the initiative to speak, Chen Qian occasionally chimed in, but Mo Xi Wu knew that Chen Qian was a person with a cold exterior and a warm interior.

  "Do you believe in love?" Mo Xi Wu said lightly.

  "I don't believe it." Chen Qian quickly gave an answer, just like she was reciting words.

  "You're answering too absolutely, I don't think that's your answer." Chen Qian answered too decisively, Mo Xi Wu thought she wouldn't be able to give an accurate answer to this question, at least she would hesitate for a moment. "At our age, isn't it the time when we should be dreaming and fantasizing? It shouldn't be too hard for you, right?"

  "Love is built on a certain material basis, people like us who want to jump out of the countryside can only bury their heads in hard study. I don't fantasize about those things, nor do I envy them. Without them, I will live very easily from now on." Chen Qian said this and continued her studies.

  The three words "like us" made Mo Xi Wu's heart skip a beat, and it turned out that Chen Qian had seen through her disguise long ago, but didn't expose her. Mo Xi Wu smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking she had disguised herself well, but fortunately the other party was Chen Qian, who knew but didn't say anything, treating her as usual without looking down on her. Today, she just took the opportunity to speak out and put herself in the same category as Mo Xi Wu, whose heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.

  Mo Xi Wu does not agree with Chen Qian's point of view, thinking that no one will stop in front of love, but only keep a parallel relationship with love. If everyone can make such a rational move, there won't be so many eternal loves.

  This conversation allowed Mo Xi Wu and Chen Qian's feelings to take a qualitative leap forward. In the future, Mo Xi Wu can remove the disguise of that branded outfit in front of Chen Qian, regain her own dignity and pride. Although Chen Qian didn't say much, Mo Xi Wu knew that Chen Qian also considered her as a kindred spirit friend.

  The second day started as usual, but if there was a place where an earthquake would occur, or a place where a mudslide tsunami would happen, Mo Xi Wu thought it was normal. However, if the annoying Gui Rong Xuan suddenly changed his ways and stopped provoking her, instead smiling and speaking kindly to her, Mo Xi Wu would only think that he had a bigger scheme brewing.

  Just like today, she had just returned from reading outside and hadn't even had time to go upstairs when he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pulled her to a deserted corner, covered her mouth, and told her that he didn't want it to be like this anymore, they should make up.

  The fastest and greatest ruler
