”What they said... Is it all true? ” As the sky darkened, the lights on both sides of the campus road lit up. If you hit her face, you could see the fine fur on her cheeks.
Chen Yan gazed over her shoulder at the night sky, not willing to meet her gaze. After a long while, he finally countered, ”What did you say?” Every word came out clearly from her lips. Her voice became clearer and clearer, but her tone was different from the cold tone on the phone. Instead, it sounded gentle and calm.
”I said you did it for … ”I just gave up on the competition and said that you went abroad to continue studying medicine …” Chu Yu slightly frowned, his heart carrying a trace of apprehension and fear. She was afraid of hearing the definite answer from Chen Yan's mouth. Even though the teachers in the office had already discussed about it, she still had a sliver of luck in her heart. As long as Chen Yan didn't personally admit it, she could ignore it.
”It's true.” He interrupted her with a casual remark, and finally looked away from her and fixed his gaze on her face.
Her eyes were clear under her long, slender eyebrows. Unlike other women's heavy makeup, she always exuded a touch of elegant beauty. It was clearly a pretty face, but there was a hint of anger on it.
”Why are you doing this? Do you think it's great to sacrifice yourself to fulfill my dream? Do you know how I endured that month? And didn't you also want to become a designer before entering the academy? ” Chu Yu felt that her words were overbearing, but the moment she thought about what Chen Yan had done, she could not control her emotions, and all the unhappiness she had accumulated for the past few months was vented out.
Completion? She didn't need it. She really wanted to become an outstanding designer, but definitely not in this way. What she wanted was fair competition, even if it took all her effort to carve out a path for herself. Not a meaningless accomplishment like Chen Yan's would only cause her to feel a sense of disrespect.
”Awesome?” ”Why do you say that?” He caught the most important word in her words and looked at her quizzically.
On the day of the finals, he had signed his name before giving up and rushed to the airport. On the other side, it was already noon of the second day. The medical academy had a lot of classes and a lot of things to do. Plus, he intentionally did not go to the domestic news website to check, so he naturally did not know what had happened during that period of time.
By the time he returned home, a period of time had already passed. More and more events had occurred, and no one brought up that match again.
Chu Yu was silent for a moment, then said softly: ”Forget it, it's all over. I just feel that you are too impulsive to take the consequences into account. I don't have to win the championship, and I don't feel proud of winning the competition in this way. ”
The lake in front of him was tranquil, insects were chirping in the bushes, and a few classroom lights were lit in the teaching building not far away.
”Sorry …” ”I don't know …” The teenager in front of him lowered his head in frustration. There was a fleeting look of disappointment in his eyes, but his tone sounded cautious.
The only thing he wanted to do was to be good to Chu Yu, but he never thought that this was what she truly wanted, and it was indeed … It must have troubled her.
”I don't blame you …” What about you? Last year, you were unwilling. This year, you wanted to win the championship again, but this is the result. Do you regret this? ” Seeing Chen Yan's reaction, Chu Yu suddenly realised that his emotions and words were just too intense.
However, no matter what, Chen Yan did it for her. She couldn't be so selfish as to push all the blame onto him.
”Because it's you. No regrets.” He almost blurted it out without hesitation.
