Chapter 52: Unfazed by Favor or Disgrace

  Xu Mufeng saw her, and for a long time he didn't speak, but instead brewed himself a cup of tea. He held the transparent glass cup, gently blowing on the tea leaves until all the floating leaves sank to the bottom of the cup. His expression remained calm and unruffled.

  Xi Xi couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Teacher Xu, do you have something to say to me?" Although it was a rhetorical question, it was better than just standing there stupidly.

  Xu Mufeng focused solely on the actions in his hands, pouring the top layer of water from the cup into a nearby porcelain cup, then refilling the tea to seven-tenths full.

  He lightly sipped, the scalding temperature of the boiling water causing him to involuntarily pull his lips back, his elegant eyebrows slightly furrowing before he slowly spoke: "Drinking tea is not something that can be rushed, or you'll end up like me, burning your tongue and it's just not worth it."

  Xi Xi savored his words in her mind, feeling that there was another layer of meaning to them. Before she could think further, he continued, "People who can achieve great things all have one quality - they are not swayed by fortune or misfortune. In unfavorable situations, they remain calm and composed. Do you understand?"

  "Xixi nodded silently, understanding Xu Mufeng's meaning was to tell her not to be impatient, to let go of the rumors, but it's easy to say, how can she actually do it?"

  "I called you here mainly to tell you that there is a quota for an excellent student in the class, and I gave it to you. Get ready, you'll be giving a speech at the flag-raising ceremony next Monday." Xu Mufeng tapped his fingers on the glass cup, still with that calm and collected expression, ignoring Xia Xixi's surprised gaze.

  "I... thank you, teacher" Xia Xi Xi didn't know what to say, being an excellent student was an honor she had never thought of, especially in the face of malicious rumors and slander, it was something she dared not hope for.

  In class, she wasn't the one with the best grades, nor was she the most popular, but Xu Mufeng gave her this honor, which is a silent affirmation and trust.

  "No need to thank me, excellent grades, good conduct, you deserve the title of outstanding student." He said and waved his hand, indicating that XiXi could go back to study.

  If there was anything that could rouse Xia Xi, who was on the verge of collapse at this time, it would be trust. Xu Mufeng's trust was so pure that she didn't even need to say a word of explanation, and Xi's heart was filled with gratitude, her heavy footsteps suddenly becoming lighter.

  She didn't know how much pressure Xu Mufeng had endured from the school for this excellent student, but she knew that she must cheer up. In this world, there is no hurdle that can't be overcome, and even the rumors accumulated on her head will disperse soon.

  Chen Yan, who had lost interest in reading after Xia Xi was called away, stared at the classroom door, waiting until the familiar figure returned to the classroom before lowering his head to continue doing his homework. When he saw Xia Xi's expression as she entered the room, he finally let out a sigh of relief, wondering what Xu Mufeng had said to her that put the sparkle back in her eyes.

  That light was like the first ray of sunshine breaking through the mist, dazzling and captivating, warming his heart inexplicably, and his mood also became clearer.

  It turned out that it was such a concern, even if she wasn't with him, he couldn't bear to see her suffer any injustice, and as long as he could quietly watch over her, he would feel at peace.

  She is indeed special in his heart

  Chen Yan didn't attend the last evening self-study session, but instead directly called Jiang Yan from the classroom to the small garden downstairs.

  When Chen Yan came to find her for the first time, Jiang Yan was overjoyed, but when she saw his gloomy expression, her joy disappeared instantly.

  "Is it you who spread the rumors about Xia Xi?" His icy tone was devoid of any warmth.

  "How could you think that?" Jiang Yan was shocked, and a wave of disappointment flooded in. It turned out that he had come to ask for punishment behind his back.

  She likes him so much that she can listen to him and let him go, because Jiang Yan believes that one day Chen Yan's heart will be branded with her name.

  But the more she took the initiative and showed enthusiasm, the more he became cold and retreated. Water can penetrate stone, and a drop of cool water can also calm down a burning heart. Chen Yan used his indifference to extinguish all her fantasies day by day.

  If you like someone for too long, it becomes a habit that can't be quit or forgotten. Jiang Yan still couldn't help but think to herself, if he no longer had feelings for Xia Xi, would she then be able to move into his heart?

  "Is it really you?" His tone was stern and intimidating.

  Jiang Yan suddenly burst out laughing, pointing at Chen Yan's trembling fingers, her tone filled with resentment and bitterness: "I really don't understand, what is it about her that makes you so obsessed? No matter what I do for you, you ignore me, but as soon as there's even a hint of trouble on her side, you become this anxious."

  "Xiao Yan, calm down." Chen Yan looked at Jiang Yan who was out of control emotionally and felt that he had indeed been somewhat excessive. Her words were reasonable sentence by sentence. He had originally agreed to be with her in a fit of pique, thinking of competing with Xia Xi, and hadn't considered Jiang Yan's feelings thoroughly.

  "Am I not calm?" Jiang Yan's smile was icy, and her words became even sharper. "The one who is not calm is not me, but you. Ask yourself, whenever anything related to Xia Xi has come up, when have you ever been calm, including when interacting with me?"

  Chen Yan was speechless when she questioned him, he could feel her efforts, but the human heart is a very strange thing, once it's full, others' kindness can no longer be accommodated.

  Originally, she had been so good to him with all her heart and soul, but in the end, it only earned his silence. Jiang Yan was at a loss for a moment, unsure whether to resent Chen Yan's ruthlessness or mock her own naivety.

  "I was the one who helped stir up trouble for Xia Xi, but what's the point of that? Chen Yan, don't forget, your current girlfriend is me, not her."

  Jiang Yan's emotional outburst made Chen Yan furrow his brow, he knew that his mistake couldn't continue any longer, it would be a huge hurt to Jiang Yan. Taking a deep breath, he said: "It can't be now, our relationship ends here."

  Although she had long expected this day to come, Jiang Yan was still stunned by Chen Yan's indifference and straightforwardness.

  "I owe you an apology for what happened earlier, and I'll make it up to you in the future. However, if I hear those rumors about Xia Xi again, don't blame me for not considering our long-standing relationship."

  Chen Yan's voice was low and calm, without a hint of emotion, but the weight of his words was not light. Jiang Yan knew that he always kept his promises, so after weighing her options for a moment, she floated up a faint, melancholic smile: "Alright, I won't bother you again from now on. You're happy now, aren't you, Brother Chen?"

  In love, there has never been a fair exchange of one part effort and one part harvest. We think that sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, but in fact the outcome is predetermined from the start. Although we clearly know the result, we still rush to the flame like moths, perhaps not necessarily because of an intense love that cannot be abandoned, but just because of the tender and unyielding corners of our young hearts.

  Chen Yan's heart, Jiang Yan had seen clearly from the beginning, but the entangled emotions and the stubbornness that refused to admit defeat had obscured her heart. She didn't regret it, love was just love, even if all she got in return was disappointment, it couldn't change the appearance of love. It's just that this one-sided struggle, with a forced smile, was ultimately her own solo dance.

  She glanced at Chen Yan, this person, whether she was kind to him or carefully calculated, from beginning to end did not put himself in mind suddenly felt tired, Jiang Yan tidied up some disheveled hair, and her figure disappeared into the night.

  The enemy is the school grass, and it's hard to resolve without popping up windows.
