Chapter 236: Did the Plot Twist? (Part 2)

Liu Ruoxin snickered secretly, though her face still wore an innocent and determined expression.

Getting the answer she wanted, Shen Lingyao’s heart seemed to find some peace.

Her tears, however, couldn’t be stopped, flowing as if she had lost the only treasure in her life, sobbing and blessing at the same time.

“Then okay…”

“I… I give up…”

“If he chooses you, then you two be happy together.”

“I hope you can persuade him to go to university in Beijing.”

“It’s more developed there, a bigger circle, it will be better for his future.”

She had always wanted Zhao Qingfeng to go to university in Beijing.

And she still felt the same way.

But it wasn’t just because of the bigger circle, but also because it would mean being far away, so she wouldn’t have to see him again.

During the time Zhao Qingfeng transferred schools.

Shen Lingyao’s heart always felt empty, lacking spirit in everything she did.

Now thinking about it again.

If he really chooses to be with Liu Ruoxin.

Then in the long river of future years, would she immerse herself in sadness every day until she grows old alone?

She dared not think further, the more she thought, the sadder she became.

The tear stains on her little face had turned into scars etched in her heart, which the August wind could not blow away.

Liu Ruoxin was overjoyed, softly comforting, “Lingyao, it’s not your fault, it’s all his fault, all because he deceived you! Actually, it’s also my fault, I should have told the truth the first time I saw you. Let’s go, no matter what you say, I’ll take you to hear the truth. Let’s go to the medical office first, then to the cafeteria, the classmates will come later, you must listen.”

How could she not listen?

What if she changes her mind?

If the roots of the problem are not removed, they will regrow with the spring breeze.

Liu Ruoxin was determined to make Shen Lingyao give up hope, to make her give up on Zhao Qingfeng through today’s ‘interview’, and never contact him again!

Shen Lingyao didn’t want to go.

The foreseeable outcome was like a second trauma to her.

But Liu Ruoxin insisted on dragging her along.

Cajoling and persuading, the simple Shen Lingyao was no match for Liu Ruoxin, who soon pulled her to the second floor of the cafeteria’s fourth dining hall.

“Xinxin, didn’t you graduate?”

Entering the door, the janitor asked curiously.

The school beauty always attracts attention, and the janitor was no exception.

“Yes.”

Liu Ruoxin smiled and greeted, “I came back to visit.”

The janitor gave Shen Lingyao a meaningful look, then pointed to a window not far away, “Being nostalgic is good, people who are nostalgic are rich in emotion. Go on, don’t you love eating steamed buns the most? There’s a new batch just out, it was originally reserved for me, but I’ll give it to you.”

Liu Ruoxin thanked him with a smile and pulled Shen Lingyao to the window.

At that moment.

The lunch lady at the window was busy in front of the steamers. Teachers were already back at work, and it was impossible not to prepare food. Moreover, she had barely slept the previous night, delaying the dough rising, so today’s buns might not taste as good.

“Auntie!”

Liu Ruoxin waved, “Remember me? I’m back again, one steamer of steamed buns, please!”

The auntie carefully brought over the buns, asking the same question as the janitor at the entrance.

Liu Ruoxin casually answered a few questions, not leaving the window, and looked at Shen Lingyao next to her, who was still wiping her tears, before asking the auntie in a cute manner, “Auntie, three years of middle school passed by, and I will miss your buns when I go to university. By the way, do you remember the male classmate who was always with me, Zhao Qingfeng, the transfer student who jumped off the building for me?”

Remember!

Of course, she remembered.

The auntie could never forget.

Everyone knew about Zhao Qingfeng’s loyal dog behavior back then, and she had discussed young people’s views on love with her colleagues.

“You’re talking about him, right? I remember, the handsome young man you always bought steamed buns for. A fine-looking kid, good at his studies, how could I forget!”

“Good, you remember, wait, what? I bought buns for him!”

Liu Ruoxin thought the auntie’s memory was muddled, immediately widening her innocent eyes.

Shen Lingyao was also stunned, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, the wounds in her heart stopped tearing, and she looked up at the auntie in confusion, her face tense.
