Chapter 104 Lowering One's Head to Send a Message

  Zhou Zhanling didn't want to cater to Yu Mohan's temper anymore, he had compromised too much, he wanted to stop and think carefully about what he should do next.

  "Don't deceive yourself anymore, we're not kids anymore. Sometimes it's not that easy to break up or get back together just by saying so." Zhou Zhanling said, "Class is about to start, go to the classroom."

  Zhou Zhanling finished speaking, grasped his school bag tightly and walked towards the school gate, leaving Yu Menghan far behind. He had never thought that he would be so indifferent to Yu Menghan one day. Perhaps he should thank Yu Menghan for being the first to leave him, allowing him to gradually get used to being alone, getting used to not having her, and still living a good life.

  Just as he walked into the classroom, Zhou Zhanling saw Luo Xuanjie sitting next to his desk, head down writing homework. Zhou Zhanling was surprised, he didn't know there was any homework today.

  Zhou Zhanling hastily walked towards Luo Xuanjie and asked: "Ah Jie, what are you doing?"

  "Do the exercises!" Luo Xuanjie didn't lift his head, and his eyes couldn't bear to leave the textbook on his desk for a second. The pen in his hand "swished" across the exercise book on his desk.

  Zhou Zhanling was surprised to find that Luo Xuanjie had changed since the class division. The animation club was now scattered among different classes, and he was in the same class as Luo Xuanjie, so he often paid more attention to him. He found that this semester, Luo Xuanjie had become more diligent, completing his homework ahead of time, and even staying in the classroom to read books when others went out to play basketball.

  "Wow, is this the rhythm of advancing to the first place in the freshman class of Qing Xia University?"

  "No!" Luo Xuanjie still didn't raise his head, he felt that the current time was not enough to use, and he wished to turn a day into forty-eight hours. But time always came and went in a hurry, and it wouldn't stop for anyone.

  Sometimes, Luo Xuanjie just feels that time is a very ruthless thing, making people understand their own insignificance, but not allowing them to make progress. What allows people to make progress is still themselves. That's why Luo Xuanjie has been studying so desperately. He wasn't like this before. He thought he was just an ordinary boy and didn't need to be so competitive, as long as he was happy, every day would be wonderful.

  "What's the reason for that?" Zhou Zhanling asked back, he just couldn't understand what it was that made Ruan Xunjie, who had always been lazy, become so diligent all of a sudden. Had Ruan Xunjie fallen in love? Did he have some kind of agreement with his girlfriend or something? But this didn't seem right either, not everyone was like him and Yu Muheng.

  At this time, Luo Xuanjie finally raised his head, and he looked at Zhou Zhanling with a faint gaze, "Sigh,"

  He let out a sigh before speaking up, "My sister still has two months until her college entrance exams."

  "I know, Xuanling is going to take the college entrance exam, it's something everyone knows. What's up? Does it have anything to do with your diligence?" Zhou Zhanling couldn't help but chuckle lightly. Could Luo Xuanjie's hard work really make Luo Xuanling progress too? Don't the two siblings still have a heart connection?

  "Ugh..." Luo Xuanjie let out another sigh, "You don't know, now in my family, everything is all about my sister. The most sumptuous breakfast is for my sister, the most nutritious lunch is for my sister, and the most delicious dinner is also for my sister. They've all neglected me. I'm like an invisible person at home, my dad and mom don't even glance at me. They think I'm a hopeless case, they've completely given up on me! Now they only care about my sister..."

  "Hmph," Zhou Zhanling couldn't help but laugh, how could there still be guys with such thoughts at this age? They're not kids anymore, it's only natural that they wouldn't care about this kind of thing. And no matter what kind of parents they are, they won't abandon their own child. Now Luo Xuanjie's dad and mom are just more anxious about their daughter's college entrance exams, so naturally they would be a bit neglectful of Luo Xuanjie. Once this period is over, everything will go back to normal.

  After Zhou Zhanling finished laughing, he couldn't help but glance at Luo Xuanjie and said: "You even eat vinegar for your sister, isn't that too childish?"

  "Who says I'm jealous of my sister?" Luo Xuanjie retorted, "I just can't stand how my parents always put my sister at the center of everything. This is serious favoritism, which isn't good for my healthy growth! So I want to prove it to them! I am also very powerful!"

  "Cough...cough..." Zhou Zhanling raised his hand and coughed lightly, "Alright, you work hard, I won't disturb you anymore!"

  Luoxuan Jie heard Zhou Zhanling's words and couldn't help but sigh again, then continued to do the practice questions.

  Zhou Zhanling sat down in his own seat, unable to help but mock, "I just arrived at the classroom for a while, you've already sighed three times, how miserable are you?"

  "You don't understand, you have no brothers or sisters, you don't understand..." Luo Xuanjie shook his head, his eyes still fixed on his own practice questions, not even looking at Zhou Zhanling.

  Zhou Zhanling smiled helplessly and slowly took out his phone, originally wanting to play games, but saw several text messages, all with the same person's name. Zhou Zhanling slightly lowered his eyes and opened each message one by one. Every single one was an apology from Yu Menghuan, word by word, so unrealistic, he had never thought that she would turn around and apologize to him one day.

  Zhou Zhanling knew that, perhaps Yu Mohan was really regretful, or perhaps not. She might still want him to make endless sacrifices for her, but she didn't know that the moment she said they should break up, it was destined that they could never go back to the way things were before. Perhaps at that time, Zhou Zhanling was still fantasizing, still expecting that one day she would turn around and walk with him into the future together. But now, the feeling he wanted had disappeared. Bit by bit, it had been worn away by her own hands.

  Zhou Zhanling stared at the message for a long time, unsure of how to respond. Perhaps silence could convey his thoughts at this moment. He had no expectations, nor did he want her to have any.

  Zhou Zhan suddenly stopped responding, shoving his phone into his backpack and pulling out his textbook to flip through it listlessly. At this point, he couldn't even bear to read a book; he had thought he had already let go and didn't need to think about it too much, but in his heart, he was still affected by some things, and the road ahead was still vast and unknown.

  At this moment, a girl walked into the classroom. She had a ponytail and wore a fitted school uniform. Her footsteps were steady but light. As soon as she entered the classroom, her gaze swept across Zhou Zhanling's face.

  She expressionless, looked away, and walked slowly towards the last row of desks in the classroom.

  Except for Zhou Zhanling, no one else in the classroom noticed that girl. She never interacted with her classmates, wouldn't smile at people, and wouldn't greet others. It seemed like she was already used to being alone.
