When the person you like shows a little bit of care and concern for you, it really makes you very happy.
Even though I know that kind of "like" is just an unrealistic fantasy, like flowers in the water or the moon in the mirror.
But I relish it like a sweet treat.
Chu Hua nodded half-believingly, "Okay, then I’ll be nicer to him later. Do you want Qianyi to be nicer to you?"
Xia Ziyu smiled, "Of course."
"I think Qianyi is quite nice to you."
"Definitely, we are life-and-death friends."
"Life-and-death friends?" Chu Hua asked, puzzled. "How did you beco life-and-death friends with her? You weren’t with us during the initial outdoor integrated training."
After the outdoor integrated training, she felt that she and Yan Qianyi were life-and-death friends.
The purpose of the Military Academy organizing the outdoor integrated training was also to cultivate everyone’s tacit understanding and camaraderie in battle.
"I won’t tell you, it’s a secret between her and , known only to us," Xia Ziyu said mysteriously.
"What secret do you two have?" Chu Hua’s curiosity was piqued. "Tell , I definitely won’t spread it."
Xia Ziyu’s face broke into a joyous smile.
Thinking of the secret he and Yan Qianyi shared alone, he felt very satisfied.
No matter how Chu Hua pressed, he just smiled and refused to answer.
Inside the campus.
Yun Mu was heading towards the campus gate when he suddenly saw a strange figure approaching from the darkness ahead.
The person’s hands hung limply, head drooped, and footsteps weak, resembling a zombie.
Yun Mu suddenly stopped, on alert.
Alien Species?
Or had a virus invaded the campus?
When that "walking corpse" reached the street light, Yun Mu was slightly startled.
"Xiaoguang!"
Xue Xiaoguang looked up, his entire deanor downcast, his face seemingly emblazoned with the word "bereft."
"What’s wrong with you? Are you drunk?" Yun Mu asked.
Xue Xiaoguang replied weakly, "What’s wrong with , don’t you know?"
Although he had already told Chu Hua that they would be just friends from now on,
he was still very upset inside.
Thinking about his humble origins and lacking even the capacity to pursue love, he felt even more dejected.
Yun Mu realized, "Go back and get a good sleep."
He didn’t know how to comfort Xue Xiaoguang, because he also had feelings for Chu Hua.
Saying comforting words now would only seem insincere.
Although Xiaoguang was unaware of his feelings.
Seeing Yun Mu about to leave, Xue Xiaoguang asked, "Where are you going?"
"I have sothing to take care of. You go back and rest first, I’ll be back soon."
After that, Yun Mu walked away.
Xue Xiaoguang nodded dully.
Just as he was about to continue dragging his broken shell towards the dormitory, he suddenly thought of sothing, halted his steps, and turned back to look at Yun Mu’s retreating figure.
Previously, Qianyi had asked him if Yun Mu had been acting unusually lately.
Today, Yun Mu left without saying goodbye, and it was strange for him to go out so late.
After so thought, Xue Xiaoguang secretly followed.
After Yun Mu walked out of the campus gate, he saw Chu Hua under a white cherry blossom tree on the right side of the road.
"Chu Hua." He walked forward.
Yan Chuhua turned to look at him, smiled slightly, "You’ve co."
Yun Mu walked up to Yan Chuhua and asked directly, "What do you want to tell ?"
"That..." Yan Chuhua suddenly beca nervous, her hands clenched together, "Don’t misunderstand about Xiaoguang today, I really consider Xiaoguang a good friend."
Yun Mu nodded, "Yeah, I know, didn’t you reject him publicly?"
"Also..." Yan Chuhua pursed her lips, "I want to tell you my true identity."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Actually, I am the Princess of the Luoke Empire."
"Oh."
Seeing Yun Mu’s calm deanor, Yan Chuhua was surprised, "Aren’t you surprised by my identity?"
Yun Mu smiled, "Your aura is exceptional, and your sudden disappearance last ti was also very strange, so I had guessed long ago that your identity was no ordinary one."
The people in the organization had thoroughly investigated all his friends around him.
In fact, he had already known about Yan Chuhua’s identity not long ago.
That also included Xia Ziyu’s identity.
Yan Chuhua said, "Ziyu is actually a prince of the Federation Empire."
"Is that so?" To avoid arousing Yan Chuhua’s suspicion, Yun Mu feigned surprise this ti.
"Yes, he and I are engaged, but both of us just see each other as friends."
"Your identities do match well."
Yan Chuhua quickly shook her head, "Don’t misunderstand, we both don’t like each other. We haven’t dissolved the engagent because I want to continue staying in the Federation Empire. Once I break off the engagent with him, I won’t be able to stay here anymore."
"Oh." Yun Mu nodded slightly, "So that’s the case."
"Um..."
"Since that’s everything, I should head back now. Xiaoguang doesn’t seem to be feeling well; I need to go back and keep him company."
Yan Chuhua hurriedly said, "No, I haven’t finished yet!"
"What else is there?"
"I... I told you this because... because I..." Yan Chuhua’s palms were sweating, she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "I like you!"
After she spoke, Yan Chuhua nervously closed her eyes tightly.
She didn’t dare look at Yun Mu, her cheeks burning hot.
This was her first ti confessing her feelings to soone, her heart pounding wildly, feeling as if it would leap out of her throat.
However, after waiting a while, she heard nothing but her own heartbeat.
Yun Mu was silent for a long ti.
Yan Chuhua slowly opened her eyes and looked at him expectantly.
Seeing him smile, Yan Chuhua sighed with relief, genuinely believing he was about to say he liked her too.
But then, from his thinly smiling lips, he uttered the chilling words, "Thank you, but I’ve always only seen you as a friend."
"..." Yan Chuhua was petrified, her breath seemingly frozen.
Ziyu and Qianyi had both said that it was clear Yun Mu liked her.
How... How could it be like this?
"Chu Hua, I’m sorry. I hope we can always be friends."
Yan Chuhua asked, "Is it... is it because of Xiaoguang’s presence, you’re afraid of ruining your friendship with him, so... so you said this?"
Yun Mu looked at Yan Chuhua calmly, "No, it has nothing to do with Xiaoguang, I truly only see you as a friend."
His tone was also very calm, almost rcilessly so.
Yan Chuhua took a deep breath, feeling the cold night air like a knife, harshly slicing into her heart.
She shook her head, "Really... do you really only see as a friend? Not even a little bit... not even a little bit of liking?"
Yun Mu helplessly said, "You hypnotized before, don’t you clearly know who I like?"
