Chapter 147: Giving up and striving; Coal and Flowers!
Translator:?Sparrow Translations??Editor:?Sparrow Translations
The toughest thing in life is not learning to fight for sothing but rather learning to give up. ‘Learn to give up when it is ti to do so’ is a commonly spoken phrase but only when one is faced with such a situation would one know how hard it is to give up on sothing that you’ve worked hard to get.
When Li Qingchuan had heard that Xue ining had a boyfriend, he imdiately returned to Qingshui to teach Ling Yun a lesson. However, he had never thought that he couldn’t even be compared to Ling Yun. Not considering other things, the sole fact that Ling Yun managed to cure him of his heart disease put him in huge debt to Ling Yun.
Comparing looks? With just a short separation of two hours, Ling Yun returned with a thinner face making him look extrely charming.
Comparing power? Li Qingchuan’s father was one of the most powerful people in the whole of Qingshui City but Xue ining did not care about such things. If she did, she would have been his girlfriend a long ti ago. Furthermore, even a fool could see that Xue ining loved Ling Yun just from the way that she looked at him. How was Li Qingchuan supposed to compete with that?
Hence, Li Qingchuan had decided to give up after countless hours of contemplation and suffering. As for the conversation he had with Tang ng, it was just a slight feeling of reluctance. Tang ng smiled as he restarted the engine.
“Stop being so moody. It is not your fault for losing to Ling Yun! Anyway, with your circumstances, which girl would resist you? What do people say? When one gives up a tree, he will gain a whole forest!”
Li Qingchuan replied with a punch, “D*mn you!”
Tang ng laughed without dodging and asked, “So how is it? You are not sick anymore?”
“My mother has brought to the Shengli Hospital to get checked and there is no problem with my heart. It really is a miracle!” Li Qingchuan said while nodding. A flicker of gratitude crossed his face.
Tang ng exclaid in shock, “It’s really so miraculous? Then Ling Yun’s abilities are truly unbelievable. Doesn’t it an that his dical expertise is even better than Miracle Doctor Xue?!” He then continued after the shock wore off, “Brother, since you are well now, let’s party tonight with all the other guys!”
Truthfully, Li Qingchuan really wanted a break to let go of his feelings so he agreed, “Let’s talk again after sending Little Ning ho…”
After arriving at Qingshui First High School, Tang ng imdiately drove into the schoolyard and gave Xue ining a call to ask her to co down. Eventually, she excitedly ran down the stairs but upon seeing that it was Tang ng and Li Qingchuan who had co to send her ho, her eyes reflect disappointnt. She asked, “Where is Ling Yun?”
After glancing awkwardly at Li Qingchuan, Tang ng looked back at the girl and answered, “Hey, Little Ning. I didn’t co to class this afternoon so I have no idea where Ling Yun went. It rained very heavily today so let us send you ho, won’t you?” Xue ining stomped her feet in anger and stalked off towards the car while murmuring, “What kind of boyfriend is he to not show any care even after such a storm?!”
The Little Demon Girl had turned the lies into reality and had forgotten that Ling Yun was just supposed to be her shield. Li Qingchuan shook his head while laughing bitterly. The Humr humd to life and sped off amidst the envious stares of the students who had no idea how to go ho.
…
Classroom of Grade 12 Class 6.
After packing up her things, Cao Shanshan said to her tablemate, Zhang Ling, “Let’s go. The car fetching is here and I will ask my driver to send you ho.” The two of them left the classroom together.
Reaching the first floor, Zhang Ling suddenly looked at Cao Shanshan and said mysteriously, “Shanshan, I’ve thought of a great idea for you!”
When Ling Yun had left with Zhuang ifeng, Cao Shanshan had returned to class in a bad mood but in the last two sessions of revision ti, her mood lifted up imnsely after thinking about sothing.
Now, hearing that Zhang Ling had a plan, she smiled and said, “What idea?”
Zhang Ling whispered, “You can suggest to the teacher to change the seating arrangent. Just say that Ling Yun is not concentrating in class and request for him to be beside you so that you can keep an eye out for him! Didn’t the two of you have a misunderstanding two days ago? If you are to sit together every day, the misunderstanding will clear up especially since you are so smart!”
She couldn’t help but be impressed by the large number of ideas Zhang Ling had. Cao Shanshan blushed as she looked down—they had thought of the sa thing. Actually, Cao Shanshan had been wondering how she should bring it up but now that Zhang Ling had said it, she decided to play along.
Nodding her head, she said with a red face, “It is so embarrassing that you can even think of such a bad idea…”
Seeing that she was considering her idea, Zhang Ling smiled in satisfaction. “It is easier for females to chase after males. With your looks, won’t it be easy to get Ling Yun if you wanted to?”
Cao Shanshan blushed even harder as she quietly replied, “Don’t you like him too? Are you not going to chase after him as well?”
Zhang Ling beca embarrassed and stamped her foot into a puddle of water, saying, “? Chase Ling Yun? After seeing the girls that were looking for him today, tell , do you think I even stand a chance?”
She was very self-aware and knew that it was not because she didn’t want to but it was because the competition was too strong for her to be able to attract Ling Yun.
“It’s not certain. Ling Yun loves to look at the chests of females and with your big chest, he might like you better…” The two girls kept nothing from each other, not even hiding the fact that they both liked Ling Yun.
Checking that they were alone, Zhang Ling suddenly grabbed Cao Shanshan’s chest and chuckled, “Your chest is even bigger than mine and it is rounder. Even Ling Yun has complinted it himself.” Cao Shanshan, who had been thinking about Ling Yun, mistook Zhang Ling’s hands for Ling Yun’s. She almost let out a squeal when Zhang Ling grabbed her.
“You b*tch! What do you think you’re doing!” the flustered Cao Shanshan exclaid.
Zhang Ling chuckled, “See? I knew you were thinking about Ling Yun. Tomorrow, listen to and sit beside him. Then, you two can flirt at the back of the class without interruption!”
Hearing the jealousy and disappointnt in her voice, Cao Shanshan seriously said, “Zhang Ling, we are practically sisters. Why don’t you try to chase Ling Yun? Even if you fail, it can be considered a good mory, right?”
Zhang Ling glanced at her and replied, “Shanshan, you really won’t get jealous if I chase Ling Yun?”
Cao Shanshan looked back and earnestly uttered, “You saw all the beautiful won who were looking for him. If I am to feel jealous, it would be of them and not you. If you really like him, you should try too and we can compete fairly…”
She paused before continuing, “Actually, I am worse than you! You liked him even before his exceptional performance but for , I only found out about my feelings today. You are already much better than at this point!” Truthfully, her words described the vast differences between the two girls, including their feelings.
Who would have looked at him when he was not at his peak? Cao Shanshan had said it herself that she would not marry Ling Yun even if she had to marry a pig. Even after Ling Yun’s outstanding behavior, Cao Shanshan had not thought greatly of Ling Yun. She just thought that Ling Yun would beco a powerful person, but in her heart, she wasn’t moved to the point that she would let go of everything else and just chase after Ling Yun.
On the other hand, Zhang Ling had always admired Ling Yun and was willing to be his girlfriend but because she thought that he was out of his league, she had automatically given up her right to chase him.
One only liked him and try to know him better when he beca successful; the other had been by his side, watching him grow and seeing his hard work. One was like an extra flower on an already beautiful garden and the other was like much-needed charcoal in the snowy cold. How could they be compared? It was obvious who was better!
Of course, Zhang Ling and Cao Shanshan had different identities and they saw things from different points of views but the sa could be said for Xue ining as well as Tang ng?
This was the reason why Ling Yun paid no heed to Cao Shanshan while he was courteous to Zhang Ling.
Humans communicate through common experiences and instinct which is the reason why so people fall in love at first sight while others are unable to form a relationship even after many years.
If commoners are like that, it was much more obvious for soone with a strong spirit like Ling Yun. He knew that Cao Shanshan did not truly look up to him which was why he was unable to feel close to her and also why they were always fighting.
“Shanshan, stop thinking so much. We have different backgrounds and you are already carrying a large burden…” Zhang Ling shared her thoughts before smiling cheekily, “Then, I will really be chasing after Ling Yun, okay?”
Cao Shanshan rolled her eyes as she replied, “Sure, just don’t get eaten up by him!”
