"Where is she now?"

"At the start of this school year, she was invited to join a literature club. She should be attending activities with that club around this time."

"Literature? That really suits her style."

Liu Siyan has always been a quiet girl with a love for literature, so it's quite natural for her to be fond of words that move people's hearts.

"But, she's been frequenting nightclubs lately, and every day, there are people pursuing her with all kinds of tricks, even..."

"It's normal for someone to pursue her, oh right, old class president, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ah? Me, I don't have one yet..."

"Hmm? Are the guys at Capital University blind?"

"Come on, don't drag my situation into this. If Siyan continues like this, she'll waste away one day. In any case, her current state is somewhat your responsibility, isn't it?"

Chen Mengying's cheeks flushed slightly, perhaps because she was asked about her boyfriend.

Although Chen Mengying doesn't have a good family background, in this society that values appearances, it's impossible for her not to have boys pursuing her at Capital University, given her beauty.

At this point, Chen Mengying is already a grown woman, no longer an eighteen-year-old high school student, and now she can fully think maturely and have a serious relationship.

As a girl who has always been puzzled about the future, naturally, she hopes to have a man who can shield her from the elements and together create a wonderful life.

Among the boys pursuing Chen Mengying, there is no lack of those with good family backgrounds and decent character. However, whenever she meets such boys, Chen Mengying can't help but compare them with Xiaofan. Strangely enough, after comparing, she feels they all fall short of Xiaofan. So, being single until now, Chen Mengying has no regrets.

"Alright, I'm full. I don't have any classes this afternoon, I'll go back and take a nap."

"What? You're leaving already?" Chen Mengying hastily called out when she saw Xiaofan about to leave.

"Yeah."

"Aren't you going to see Siyan?"

"Isn't she happy right now?" With that statement, Xiaofan slowly walked out of the cafeteria.

"Do you know how Siyan has gotten by these past months? Have you ever thought about her... Xiaofan, Ye Xiaofan."

Unable to call Xiaofan back, Chen Mengying fumed, her cheeks puffed up in anger.

"Cough, cough, well, I'm going back too..."

"Sit down." With a fierce glare, Chen Mengying furiously shouted at Li Kuo.

"Ah? Me, my car keys are with Xiaofan, he..."

"Will taking the bus kill you? You definitely know, right? Tell me, what's Xiaofan hiding?"

"Well, I..."

"Do you consider me a friend?"

"I do."

"Then tell me."

"But..."

"No buts. Do you think I would harm him?"

"I won't, but this matter requires his consent, doesn't it?"

"That guy keeps everything to himself, how is it possible for him to easily reveal it, hurry and tell me. Or I'll tell your wife that you have many girls chasing you at school..."

"Don't, I'll tell, I'll tell."

Responsible? Not being able to give her the best happiness, why not let go, isn't that the best responsibility?

After struggling to let her go, appearing in her life again, disrupting her existence, yet in the end still being unable to give her the best answer, what does that count for? Am I really that selfish?

Despite saying these words, letting go forever remains impossible.

In the afternoon, even though Xiaofan had no classes, he still went to the school. Before coming, he asked Chen Mengying, and Siyan has a class in the afternoon. After class, she will also come to the literature club to participate in activities.

Knowing full well that I can't fall in love with you.

In the literature club, Li Sisi's song was playing, reminding Xiaofan of when he accidentally read the letter Liu Siyan wrote to Li Sisi in her room.

Wandering outside the literature club for a long time, Xiaofan ultimately didn't go in. He waited until the activities inside were finished, and saw that familiar figure walking out.

Initially, Xiaofan didn't immediately recognize Siyan.

Because she had really changed.

The originally jet-black hair had partly been dyed a flaming red. Her face displayed subtle smokey makeup, and her once ladylike attire had transformed completely into jeans and clothes covered in colorful patterns.

The flashy outfit almost stunned Xiaofan. Even, there was a strange pang of distress...

The smile on her face bloomed so brightly, and her playfulness with her companions was very harmonious. Yet, Xiaofan felt strongly that the Liu Siyan he saw was not the goddess he originally envisioned in his heart.

She changed, and all of this was because of him.

Slowly emerging from the bushes, Xiaofan stood directly in the middle of the path, quietly watching her walk over.

Amidst chatting with a few more extravagantly dressed girls, Liu Siyan didn't first see Xiaofan clearly, knowing only that someone appeared in the middle of the road. Glancing sideways, she initially assumed it was a passerby, yet her gaze froze in an instant.

The joyous footsteps gradually halted. From afar, she stared at the man in the middle of the road.

He had returned. And then...

"Hey, Vice President, what are you thinking? Let's go. The President said he'll take us singing tonight." A girl noticed Liu Siyan's halted step and walked forward to ask.

"Yeah, Siyan, come with us tonight." The president of the literature club was a tall and handsome young man.

"Hmm? Alright. Get in touch tonight. Let's go."

With those concluding words, Liu Siyan and a group of boys and girls continued walking forward, heading straight away without a glance to the side.

They almost brushed past Xiaofan standing in the middle of the road—without verbal exchanges, without eye contact; a feeling of unfamiliarity completely enveloped the two.

"Hah..."

After Liu Siyan had walked off, standing in place, Xiaofan then let out a self-mocking sound. This might be the greatest and harshest punishment Siyan had given him.

That unfamiliar gaze was a hundred times more painful than being stabbed.

"Siyan, let me treat you to dinner, and after that, let's go singing together, okay?"

"No need, I suddenly don't feel well. You all go singing tonight, I'll skip it."

"Hey, not that, you agreed just a moment ago, how come suddenly..."

"Just now was just now, I suddenly don't feel well, can't I? Another time..."

Saying this, Liu Siyan got into her car, started it, and immediately left, leaving the literature club president puzzled.

Meanwhile, Xiaofan took out his phone and dialed Li Kuo.

"Kuo..."

"Hmm?"

"If I want to join the club, what should I do?"

"Club? You mean? The literature club?"

"Yes."
