Chapter 67 - Its...Its Just That I Missed You (1/2)

On the next day, the moment Du Xiaoxian entered the classroom and sat down, Yang Liying said to her mysteriously, “Xiaoxian, I know who your boyfriend is.”

Du Xiaoxian was a little surprised but remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

“It’s Shao Boqing, isn’t it?” Yang Liying said it as if she was rejoiced in the misfortune of others, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you in the future, Shao Boqing is famous for being a playboy. Normally he won’t date a woman for more than three months. Be careful!”

Du Xiaoxian asked, “Is he like this?”

“What? Don’t you know?” Yang Liying looked at her strangely, “Everyone in G City knows!”

Du Xiaoxian muttered, “I didn’t expect him to be such a person!”

Yang Liying kept prying into her privacy, “You just started dating him, right? Don’t take it too seriously!”

Du Xiaoxian shook her head, “I didn’t date him. We are just ordinary friends.”

Yang Liying didn’t buy it. What kind of an ordinary friend would give her a black card and Wang Qian a purse that luxurious? But if it wasn’t Shao Boqing, who would it be?

She made another guess, “Is it Shen Li?”

Du Xiaoxian shook her head again. Yang Liying felt confused, “If it isn’t Shen Li, then who will it be? It definitely isn’t Jiang Kaiwei. Because when he came the other day, you didn’t pay much attention to him. It can’t be Gu Nianbin either, for he is with my cousin…”

Hearing this, Du Xiaoxian suddenly opened her eyes wide, “What did you say?”

“Gu Nianbin is my cousin’s boyfriend!” Yang Liying said, “Don’t you know about it being his friend? Not long ago, their pictures were even published in the newspaper! My cousin is Xia Xiaowan.”

Du Xiaoxian’s face turned pale instantly. Recently, her heart and brain were completely occupied by Gu Nianbin, there was no room at all to think about anything else. But she always felt that she had forgotten something. This was it! So it was actually this! She forgot that the young master had a girlfriend!

Her heart contracted abruptly, causing so much pain that she covered her chest and frowned. Yang Liying was a little scared seeing her like this. She cried out, “Du Xiaoxian, are you not feeling well? You look bad!”

Hearing Yang Liying, Teacher Jiang hurriedly walked over and reached out to feel Du Xiaoxian’s forehead, “It’s really a little hot, and she is sweating. Xiaoxian, let me take you to the infirmary, OK?”

Du Xiaoxian shook her head and forced out a smile, “I’m good. I just need some rest.”

But Teacher Jiang insisted. This was the student that the headmaster had repeatedly told her to take good care of. Not even the slightest mistake would be tolerated!

“It’s better to go. We’ll be back soon, you won’t miss any class.” Teacher Jiang drag her up right away. Yang Liying supported Du Xiaoxian’s the other arm and accompanied them to the infirmary.

Turned out that Du Xiaoxian was only having a small fever. Teacher Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and asked her, “Xiaoxian, do you want to stay in school or go home for some rest?”

Du Xiaoxian was too dizzy to figure things out. She needed to calm down, so she said, “I want to go home.”

“Alright, should I inform your family to come pick you up?” Teacher Jiang asked again.

Du Xiaoxian shook her head, “No need, I can go back myself.”

Thinking that she was just having a low fever, and she looked better now. Teacher Jiang did not think too much and let her go alone.

With a schoolbag on her back, Du Xiaoxian walked in the bright autumn sunshine. On the roadside was a row of tall camphor trees. All the other trees began to fall leaves, only the camphor trees remained lush. The range of the broad tree crowns looked like dark green waves. Perhaps because the trees had blocked the sunlight, Du Xiaoxian felt a little cold. Hugging her shoulders and lowering her head, Du Xiaoxian walked slowly with her gaze fixed at a meter in front of her feet.

How could she forget that the young master had a girlfriend? Du Xiaoxian remembered Xia Xiaowan. She was so beautiful and elegant with a nice and gentle voice. The photos of her and the young master in the newspaper were so eye-catching. They looked like such a perfect match! How could she forget? She shouldn’t have forgotten!

Du Xiaoxian sat down on the bench beside the road. The fact that the young master did not only belong to her made her very sad, so much so that tears almost burst out of her eyes. But she did not want to cry, not at all. She looked up into the sky, thinking that tears might not flow down her cheeks in this gesture.

Bright sunlight shined on her face through the gaps between the leaves. It felt warm, but Du Xiaoxian was still cold, as if she was sitting on a cold street with her thin body trembling in the bone-piercing wind which was blowing her hair.

Like a pair of invisible hands, Xia Xiaowan slowly opened another window, inside which was a cruel reality that Du Xiaoxian had never thought about before.

One was a handsome and rich young master, the other was a little maid who had nothing. They were totally from two different worlds! Second Aunt said that an unmatched marriage wouldn’t be happy. Her parents were the best example.

The young master never brought her home. Every time the master and the lady were mentioned, he would remain silent. She noticed all that, but she didn’t take it to heart, thinking that as long as the young master liked her, nothing else mattered. However, it never occurred to her that he could like another woman. And that woman was someone he could hold hands in front of others, take home to meet his parents and be his wife in the future.

Du Xiaoxian closed her eyes tightly. She actually thought that she could be with the young master like this forever… She was so stupid!

She couldn’t hold back the tears anymore, they finally flowed down her cheeks and into her neck silently…

Du Xiaoxian lowered her face, buried it in her palm and cried silently. At this moment, she seemed to realize a lot of things at once. Sooner or later, she would have to leave the young master. She must accept this.
