Chapter 111: Luo Li's Blunder

  Zhou Zhanling listened to Luo Xuanjie's words and just shrugged his shoulders, smiling faintly as he said, "I should probably just like myself."

  "Alright, alright. Stop spouting nonsense and misleading everyone. From today on, you're not allowed to pretend to be profound or melancholic in front of me. I'm not buying it. After school, buy a few exercise books and read more, do more exercises. Then you won't think about anything else." Luo Xuanjie hastily interrupted Zhou Zhanling's words.

  Zhou Zhan's eyebrows rose, and the pen in his hand turned another circle. "Alright."

  When school was over, Zhou Zhanling saw Fang Shuni leave the classroom before him. He smiled slightly and shifted his gaze to Luo Xuanjie, who was still packing his bag. Zhou Zhanling said disdainfully: "Are you going to take all your books home? Leave the unimportant ones here. You won't read them at home anyway. It's a waste of effort and time."

  "This I naturally understand. It's just that all these books are useful. When I go home, I need to review the materials. Not a single one can be missing." Luo Xuanjie said seriously.

  Finally packed up the school bag. Luo Xuanjie seemed to have thought of something else. Hurriedly said, "Right, my eyesight has been declining rapidly recently. Let's go take a look at glasses later."

  Zhou Zhanling heard this and couldn't help but roll his eyes again. Nearsightedness and all that, it's all from reading books. It seems like back in student days, if you didn't wear glasses, you weren't considered a good student.

  "I really don't know how you studied." Zhou Zhanling said helplessly. "Look at Ningning and Xiaobai, who aren't number one or two in their studies. But they don't wear glasses, even if it's just a cover-up, they only wear them during class."

  "Alright, don't say anything else. I had no choice." Lu Xuanjie looked wronged and sighed helplessly before quietly walking towards the classroom door.

  Just as he walked to the door, Luo Xuanjie suddenly remembered something and hastily turned his head back, looking at Zhou Zhanling in surprise and shouting, "No way! Aren't you supposed to send your girlfriend home?"

  Zhou Zhanling heard this sentence, and was suddenly stunned. What girlfriend? Such a distant word. Such a distant person. He doesn't have one now. At least he can't feel that person's existence in his heart.

  Luojun Jie looked at Zhou Zhanling, who was expressionless, and felt a little disappointed. Was he going to have to go look for glasses by himself today? Sometimes he really didn't want to talk to his family about it. His dad and mom were completely ignoring him now, while his sister still treated him like a child who hadn't grown up. If he told his family that he wanted to get glasses now, his sister would definitely enthusiastically offer to go with him. But with her college entrance exams coming up, his parents wouldn't agree, and instead would say that he didn't understand the situation. And if that happened, it would lead to a series of annoying things at home.

  Luoxuanjie seems to have gotten used to his parents' partiality. Sometimes he simply doesn't want anything and doesn't say a word to them. He'd rather silently endure it by himself, nor is he willing to tell them.

  Looking at Zhou Zhanling who remained silent, Luo Xuanjie thought to himself that he was probably going to be disappointed again. He continued, "I've seen Yu Menghan waiting for you by the school gate every day after school. Today should be no exception."

  Zhou Zhanling seemed to have thought for a long time before sighing and saying, "Sigh... later if we see her, just say that you want me to accompany you to get glasses, so she won't stop me."

  "Wow, when did you become so disgusted with Muheng? To avoid going home with her, I had to come up with such an absurd lie." Luo Xuanjie couldn't help but mock. In fact, he also knew some things about Zhou Zhanling and Yu Muheng from Ge Jinghang's mouth, and understood that Zhou Zhanling used to be extremely indulgent towards Muheng, spoiling her in every way. Now it seems that Muheng has had a change of heart and wants to make up with Zhou Zhanling, but Zhou Zhanling is having trouble, only knowing how to hide and avoid her.

  There's a saying that goes well. Emotions are originally a very humiliating thing. When liking meets disliking, all sorts of humiliation appear. When looking back, disliking becomes liking again, and one can only humbly put down their self-respect. And the liking at that time should also have turned into disliking. Of course, no matter what the process is, the ending will always be the same. If the heart doesn't change, nothing will change. If the heart changes, everything loses its color.

  "It's not that I dislike her, I just want to be alone for a while." Zhou Zhanling couldn't help but give Luo Xuanjie a white eye. "She has always been beautiful in my heart, it's just that I can no longer find the original feeling. So I'd better stop for now and think clearly about our relationship."

  "Hmph... " Luo Xuanjie chuckled and walked towards the corridor, his hands clasped behind his head. He said leisurely, "In other words, you don't have feelings for her anymore, which means you don't like her anymore. It's that simple, what's there to think about? Break up cleanly and let someone who likes her enter her life."

  "I also want to do so, but...". Zhou Zhanling didn't dare to follow his heart and be with the one he liked when he felt like it, and dump them when he didn't feel like it anymore. But if he did that, wouldn't he just be a scumbag? He was already a complete scumbag in Fang Shuni's eyes, he didn't want to be the same in Yu Menghan's eyes too.

  He remained silent for a while, and Zhou Zhanling didn't stop either. What was it that he couldn't bear to part with? Was it the beautiful girlfriend, Yu Mohan? Or the memories of their innocent love? Or perhaps it was Yu Mohan's sudden change in attitude? But thinking about it, it didn't seem right. If he really couldn't bear to part with these things, he should still have feelings for her, still be able to like her, and still be able to continue on. But the truth was, he just didn't.

  "No matter what, I want to stop for a while and be alone in peace." Zhou Zhanling lowered his head and said with a guilty conscience.

  Luoxuan Jie heard this sentence and naturally didn't say anything else. His footsteps also quickened a bit.

  It turned out that Zhou Zhanling's worries were unnecessary. Because just as the two of them arrived at the school gate, they didn't see Yu Menghuan.

  "Not very disappointed. She didn't wait for you today." Luo Xuanjie turned his head around, with a mischievous smile looking at Zhou Zhanling.

  Zhou Zhanling was indeed a bit disappointed, but he still hid it well. He said to Luo Xuanjie: "The one who should be disappointed is you. The lie you worked so hard to fabricate didn't even come in handy."

  "I don't know who started this rumor." Luo Xuanjie looked at Zhou Zhanling's ugly face and couldn't help but counterattack.

  "Don't drag it out anymore, let's go." Zhou Zhanling felt a mix of disappointment and relief, as if he had finally exhaled the breath he had been holding in for a long time.

  Originally Zhou Zhanling was walking behind Luo Xuanjie, but now it's become Luo Xuanjie who is walking behind.

  Zhou Zhanling gazed up at the sky with a slanted glance. At this moment, he finally understood what he wanted most.
