Spurting Anger

"I have kept you waiting for so long, please entrust everything to me and I will make up for my mistakes."

It hurts my pride, let's change the subject quickly.

"Alright, I don't have class today, so I want someone to accompany me for dinner, shopping, and conversation."

Ling Yuya is overjoyed.

"…"

Unexpectedly, she is a full-time companion.

"If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask. I may not be able to help with big things, but I'm willing to help with anything small."

What a joke, I'm not foolish. As far as I know, there hasn't been a boy who can accompany Ling Yuya for dinner, shopping and make others envious.

No! Not that they haven't been born, they must have been born but have yet to appear.

I once pursued such an opportunity, but unfortunately, it was ruined by the wicked Qi Xiaojia, and I have never succeeded.

"She hasn't seen you for so long, so she wants to treat you to a meal and have you accompany her for a chat. Is that too much to ask?"

Ling Yuya looked at me with a distressed expression, revealing her sadness.

"No, I just… I just…"

I stuttered, not knowing what to say. I didn't expect such a good opportunity.

"Let's go."

Ling Yuya waved her jade hand, inviting me.

"Just the two of us? What about Qi Xiaojia?"

I looked around, searching for the violent beauty who had a strong prejudice against me. I wasn't missing the hot-tempered Qi Xiaojia.

Although I was amazed by Qi Xiaojia's beauty and youth, she always ruthlessly struck me, especially when it came to my friendship with Ling Yuya, which made me depressed.

Qi Xiaojia is Ling Yuya's bodyguard, and they are always together. I haven't seen Qi Xiaojia, so I asked, afraid that she would suddenly appear and rain down blows on me.

Ling Yuya blushed slightly and expressed a barely perceptible shyness as she whispered, "Qi Xiaojia isn't here, oh, what a pity."

"Indeed, what a pity," I said, though I was actually quite content. I had initially wanted to say "How wonderful!" but I recalled Ling Yuya's close sisterly relationship with Qi Xiaojia, and if she were to hear me say such a thing, she would surely give me a beating. So I quickly changed my tune and said, "Indeed, what a pity."

Little did she know that my heart was already blooming with joy. Wow, happiness! The two of them, alone together, something I had long prayed for.

I pinched myself in disbelief. It was true – Ling Yuya was here with me, a faint fragrance enveloping us. We were truly alone together.

My heart suddenly thumped. The feeling of first love was so beautiful, so unforgettable, even if it was an unrequited love. But still, it made me so happy.

"Come on, Lin Feng, stop daydreaming."

Ling Yuya's jade hand waved in front of my eyes, wondering why I had suddenly gone absent-minded.

"Yuya, what do you want to eat? My treat, welcome back to school."

"Hmm, I really want hotpot. I haven't had it in so long."

"Alright."

I felt frustrated. Why hotpot? It was such a hot day and this was such a romantic moment. We should have gone to a more romantic restaurant, had a couples' set menu, or at the very least, gone to a restaurant with a nice view. We could have had some juice, listened to some music, looked out the window at the scenery, and smiled at each other while exchanging sweet nothings.

But alas, Ling Yuya was by my side. If it were Li Tong or my little sister, I would surely protest and stick to my own opinion. With Ling Yuya, though I had this thought, I could not say it out loud. Even if I did, it would never be realized.

"Wow, how envious! Truly a match made in heaven."

"Yes, I wish I could be so fortunate one day."

Ling Yuya and I left the school gate. Some of the girls who were attracted by Ling Yuya earlier looked at us with smiles, envious as we walked away, arm in arm.

But envy was only a small part of it. Those boys who were attracted by Ling Yuya, looking at our intimate expressions, felt resentment in their hearts, their eyes filled with anger, wishing they could PK me at once.

If eyes could kill, I would have been split into dozens of pieces by their jealous gaze.

"This place is so luxurious and the scenery is so beautiful! Not bad!"

No wonder Ling Yuya wanted to eat hot pot. It turns out that a new hot pot restaurant opened here, right next to the river. Sitting in a luxurious private room, looking through the glass window, the clear river and bustling city were in full view. It was indescribably comfortable and not inferior to those star-rated hotels.

I feel sorry for myself. I've been struggling in the game for the past few days and rarely come out. I didn't even know that such a magnificent hot pot restaurant had opened.

"Yes, the setting here is good. Xiaojia told me about it last night."

We ordered drinks and dishes, looked at the beautiful scenery outside, and chatted casually. The atmosphere was very harmonious, making people feel warm.

"Lin Feng, I heard that you and Wang Mengxue broke up?"

I'm dizzy. How did we get to this topic? The scenery and atmosphere are so good, but this sentence has ruined my mood, and I can't be happy anymore.

"Um…we broke up."

I didn't want to answer this question. I lowered my head and ate the tasteless food, feeling extremely depressed. But Ling Yuya stared at me, not caring about my expression, waiting for my answer, making me extremely uncomfortable.

I had to chew on the bitter vegetables and answer vaguely.

"Why did you break up, Lin Feng?"

I continued to lower my head and put some greens into my mouth. I didn't intend to answer Ling Yuya's question and remained silent.

"Lin Feng, why? I don't think any boy would be willing to give up on Wang Mengxue."

Damn, she looks like she's going to get to the bottom of this. She came to interrogate me, but I thought it was a good thing. How could Ling Yuya be so kind to ask me out and have dinner with her?

Suddenly, I remembered the family background of Wang Mengxue, the same as Ling Yuya's, both coming from large families with considerable clan power. Although they were familiar with each other, I had never heard or seen any interaction between Ling Yuya and Xue'er before.

"Breaking up is breaking up, what more reason do you need? If there is a reason, it's because I no longer like her."

Suddenly, I exploded like a volcano, and the suppressed feelings in my heart burst out. I shouted loudly at Ling Yuya.

I didn't get angry for anything else, not for Ling Yuya's questioning, not for the "why", not even directed at Ling Yuya. It was seeing Ling Yuya that reminded me of Ling Yuya's family, and I thought of Wang Mengxue's family, their clan power, and the helplessness of my breakup with Xue'er.

Suddenly, Wang Mengxue's father's words echoed in my ear: "Although you are outstanding and a high-achieving student at Huaxia University, it is not enough to match my Xue'er. You are not suitable to enter a family like ours. I am doing this for your own good."

To hell with your family and your so-called unsuitability. I thought helplessly in my heart, "Xue'er… I miss you so much."

And Ling Yuya's family, it was her family that prevented me from boldly pursuing her. Otherwise, I might have been with Ling Yuya by now.

"Lin Feng, you…"

Ling Yuya never expected me to lose my temper and shout at her like this. In her twenty-plus years, no one had ever shouted at her, let alone spoken loudly to her. She, who was born into a noble family, was not used to such grievances.

Ling Yuya cried out my name in distress, wanting to say something, but her tears fell like rain, choking her and making it impossible for her to continue.

She asked these questions so shamelessly, not for herself, but for this man. But this man…

Ling Yuya couldn't stop her tears anymore. She stared at him with wide eyes, wanting to scold him and speak of her grievances, but her tears kept flowing. She felt more and more uncomfortable and heartbroken, and couldn't speak anymore. Her dark eyes were drowned in tears.
