April Fool's Day Confession (Part 1)

That night's private meeting in the private room was truly thrilling, and I reminisced about it for a long time. Even the night afterward,
I unconsciously replayed it several times in my dreams.

However, due to the excessive exercise, I suffered from lower back pain, weak legs, and
a lack of energy on the second day's journey.

On the return trip, You Xingchen still sat with me. The people sitting next to me, having had so much
fun during the trip, all looked tired on the way back and stopped bragging about You Xingchen.

Using the back of the chair as cover, I squinted and secretly rested my head on You Xingchen's shoulder. Then,
I pretended to fall asleep all the way back to school, bringing this spring outing to a perfect close.

After the trip, it was time to get back to studying.

Since You Xingchen became our department's advanced mathematics teacher, my life has been both comfortable and stressful.
Comfortable because I see him every day, and he's always there for me when I'm unhappy. Stressful
because he's started giving me a ton of advanced mathematics exams…

I really… love it and hate it at the same time!

April is already getting hot, and the rain is becoming more frequent. When I went out, the sun was shining brightly
, but as soon as I turned a corner, dark clouds rolled in, and the whole sky darkened.

I'm just lazy. Yesterday I checked the weather forecast and it said it would rain today, but when I went out, the sky was sunny and bright, and
I thought carrying an umbrella would be too heavy and bulky, so I didn't care. As a result, I spent the whole afternoon in the library, and when I left,
it was already thundering.

Looking at the torrential rain outside, I realized I had arranged to have lunch with You Xingchen at the school cafeteria, but unfortunately, my phone
was dead , so I couldn't call him. With time running out, I could only stand
anxiously in the corner of the lobby.

The library was dwindling in number, and the rain was pouring down like dog poop, showing no signs of
stopping anytime soon. I looked at the sky, at the ground, at the large raindrops, my anxiety growing.

I wondered if You Xingchen had arrived yet. He hadn't seen me, and his phone was off; was he looking for
me everywhere…?

Just then, a bright blue umbrella appeared before me. That pure, dazzling blue reminded me of
someone , and I unconsciously thought of a steaming bowl of fragrant beef noodles. I couldn't help but smack my lips.

But when I saw the person with the blue umbrella quickly walk up the steps, followed by a boy walking arm-in-arm with him,
I was shocked. It was the last person I wanted to see.

I watched them swipe their cards and enter the library. I immediately turned my back to them; if nothing unexpected
happened, I wouldn't be discovered hiding in the corner.

However, some people have sharp eyes. While I was pretending to be nonchalant, watching the rain,
the sharp-eyed guy winked at someone else and then walked over to me.

"Mo Mo, didn't bring an umbrella?"

I took a deep breath, turned around absentmindedly, and reluctantly looked at the smiling Su Ze, giving a perfunctory nod.
Then I turned to Shao Yi beside him and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Teacher Shao."

Shao Yi brushed a few wet strands of hair from his forehead, revealing a warm smile. "You still like going to
the library ."

"Yeah." I politely returned the smile, not even glancing at Su Ze.

"Oh dear, is it just my imagination? Mo Mo's being so cold to me." Clearly, my indifference didn't
faze ; he still interrupted my conversation with Shao Yi, laughing as he did.

I glanced at Su Ze speechlessly, looking at this completely unfazed person in front of me. I was truly annoyed; how could he
still smile? He got his ex-girlfriend pregnant while simultaneously making vows to his current girlfriend. This
two-faced attitude—which one is his true nature?

To be honest, I've always considered Su Ze a good senior. As long as he's not involved in romance,
his enthusiasm and humor always make him feel approachable.

But now he's laughing so easily. Doesn't he know how many buckets of tears Cui Xinyi has secretly shed behind his back?!
Thinking of Cui Xinyi makes me furious too. I can only share Su Ze's hatred; after all, all
womanizers are truly despicable!

Seeing my lukewarm attitude, he scratched his head and chuckled a few times. Suddenly, his smile vanished, and he bent down
, leaning close to my ear, half-covering his mouth with one hand, deliberately lowering his voice.

"Mo Mo, I have something to tell you."

I frowned subconsciously, stiffly shifting my body slightly, suppressing my dissatisfaction, and feigning curiosity as
I replied, "What does Senior want to tell me?"

Su Ze's expression turned serious, and he became suspenseful, even glancing around mysteriously until he met Shao Yi's sharp
glares a few times before continuing earnestly, "Did you know? Lovers' Lake is flooded."

This pointless question… I glanced sideways, shook my head to indicate I didn't know, and then waited silently.

"This rain is really heavy! When we came over just now, Lovers' Lake was already flooded, and all the fish in the lake
swam ashore! Didn't you see? So many fish!"

"…" I was stunned, looking at Su Ze in disbelief. This really was big news. As far as I knew,
that lake didn't raise fish… So what? Was this novel and interesting story worth telling him so mysteriously?

"Shao Yi and I caught several with our bare hands, some this big!" Su Ze said
excitedly gesturing with his hand to show the size, which was more than half an arm's length. He continued, "We can't tell anyone about this, or the principal
will accuse us of stealing fish. We're planning a grilled fish feast tonight, you should come!"

Well, I was completely stunned by what he said, and I couldn't react for a moment. But seeing how serious and
articulate , he didn't seem to be lying to me...

Then, my first thought was, are the fish in that lake even edible...?

"Alright, what kind of joke is this? There aren't even many fish in that lake. You're amazing,
catching ."

Shao Yi, who had been listening the whole time, finally spoke up, giving Su Ze a flick on the back of the head, and then gave me a
helpless smile. "Mo Mo, don't listen to his bragging."

"Ouch, you bastard Shao Yi, that hurts so badly! Can't I joke around? It's
April Fool's Happy April Fool's Day! Can't I have a little fun?!" Su Ze rubbed the back of his head, glaring at
Shao Yi through gritted teeth, his mouth twisted with anger.

Then it dawned on me—it was April Fool's Day!

But honestly, that joke was so lame!

For a moment, Shao Yi and I were completely speechless, exchanging glances. After a few seconds of awkward silence,
Shao Yi broke the ice.

"Alright, Su Ze, stop with the ridiculous jokes. Mo Mo, it's getting late, are you going to
the cafeteria ? Don't have an umbrella? Here, lend me mine."

"I…"

I quickly waved my hand, about to refuse, when Su Ze said generously,
"Yeah, it's okay for us men to get wet."

That… sounded so awkward, I felt embarrassed. Wasn't this asking them to
get soaked for me?

"No need, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait a bit, until the rain gets a little lighter." I looked up at the dense clouds
, guessing the rain might not stop for another half hour. But I really didn't want to owe anyone a favor. "It's alright,
teacher, you go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

"You're waiting for the rain to stop? It probably won't stop for another hour. Shao Yi and I have already eaten. Just take the umbrella,
what are you afraid of!" Su Ze took the umbrella from Shao Yi and shoved it into my hand, pushing me out of
the library.

"I...I don't want it, really...I don't want it." Faced with Su Ze's hospitality, I didn't know what
to say .

Although the library wasn't close to the cafeteria, it would take at least ten minutes to get there, and those without umbrellas would definitely get soaked
. The thought of them possibly having to walk back in the rain made me feel guilty.

Subconsciously, I looked at Shao Yi beside me, feeling conflicted. For some reason, I felt he would understand my
predicament. Well, my relationship with them was somewhere between strangers and acquaintances. I really
didn't want owe them anything, even though they were friendly. There was still a distance between us; we weren't at the level of mutual love and support.

Perhaps it was because of the old woman's fabricated slander last time that I subconsciously became wary of those around me,
not wanting to get too close to avoid getting hurt.

Apart from a few truly close friends, I didn't really want to get close to anyone anymore.

"How about this? There are spare umbrellas at the school clinic, and it's close by. You can come with me, and I
can get extra umbrellas," Shao Yi finally spoke up as we walked up the steps.

I looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement without being coy. Thinking it over, going with Shao Yi to get an umbrella
was better than staying here staring at Su Ze, especially since You Xingchen was still waiting in the cafeteria.

Afterward, Shao Yi naturally took the umbrella from my hand, didn't waste any more words with Su Ze, and led me directly out of
the library.

Large raindrops pattered against the umbrella, creating a small space beneath the rain.
We were so close we could almost hear each other's breathing.

For some reason, I felt nervous and lowered my head, focusing on my feet to hide my unease.

"Mo Mo, actually… I like you."

The rushing rain drowned out all other sounds. I looked up and saw only Shao Yi's lips moving. Suddenly
, a ringing in my ears filled me; I thought I was hallucinating.

April Fool's Day Confession (Part 2)

I like you…

"I like you." At that moment, what could be more shocking than confirming those words were coming from Shao Yi's mouth
?!

The rain continued to fall, but I couldn't hear anything else. The words "I like you" kept echoing in my mind,
reverberating in my ears. I was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Shao Yi. He looked serious and
composed, his eyes filled with an intense, unwavering affection.

He looked straight into my eyes, so sincerely, which only made me more startled and bewildered.

His gaze was so focused, and being stared at like that, it felt as if time itself stopped,
even my heartbeat seemed to halt, I couldn't breathe, my mind went blank,
utterly lost.

My body stiffened, and I stood there helplessly, something heavy in my chest, a sense of unease creeping over me. My fists,
unconsciously clutching the hem of my clothes, clenched and unclenched repeatedly. Only when a sudden, intense heat surged from head to toe,
burning my face, did my heart begin to pound, and I took a deep breath.

Impossible… impossible… absolutely impossible…

how could he possibly like me…

But his voice still echoed in my ears, those three clear, resounding words
reverberating . He stared at me silently, his body slightly lowered, closing the distance. The space under the umbrella seemed
to shrink even more, his warm breath brushing against my cheek, making my face burn even hotter.

Shao Yi's gaze was intense and piercing, and I felt as if I'd been struck dumb,
standing there like a puppet. Perhaps I should run away, or perhaps I should just laugh it off, but I truly didn't know
what to do.

Then suddenly, he smiled and chuckled, his voice still so gentle, yet it felt like
a bucket of cold water had been poured over my head, "Did I scare you? Happy April Fool's Day."

My wildly pounding heart froze at those words, my mind felt like it had been struck by
a heavy hammer, my face stiffened, and my breathing became erratic. Now, I was completely at a loss for what to think,
what to do, or what to say.

I stared blankly at his gentle smile, unable to understand why his explanation had made my heart
ache, a dull, heavy feeling even more suffocating than before.

My thoughts were a jumbled mess, everything was in chaos. It wasn't until I came to my senses that I understood what had happened,
that I had been fooled by him, that "I like you" was just a joke.

Because of this joke, I almost…

"Teacher! Do you know how scary this is! Even on a brainless holiday like April Fool's Day, you
ca make jokes like this! You're joking, but what if… what if…" What if I took it seriously?!

My body trembled with anger. I gritted my teeth and swallowed the last few words back down. What else
was there to say ? A joke, huh? A pure joke, all just jokes. Just because it's April Fool's Day, all jokes
are harmless, right?

Does he even know that? He thought it was a joke, but I almost took it seriously!

-- This isn't funny at all! I can't take this kind of joke!

Even today, I never imagined that someone as upright as him would joke about me. How could he joke
about ? This joke was even worse than what Su Ze made; he really went too far…

For some reason, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. A surge of resentment welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't help but feel a burning sensation
. I felt uncomfortable, the feeling of being humiliated struck my heart, and anger raged, yet I had nowhere to vent it. Before he could speak,
I bit my lip in frustration and turned to stride towards the cafeteria.

Large raindrops pelted me, a cool sensation spreading through me. More raindrops fell on my glasses, blurring
my vision . I couldn't see the path beneath my feet, and I stumbled, stepping into a puddle. Dirt immediately filled my shoes
and splashed onto my skirt, making me instantly a sorry sight.

I paused, looking at the muddy ground and the stains on my clothes. A wave of inexplicable helplessness and resentment
washed over me.

Shao Yi immediately caught up, pulling the umbrella over me again. He gently touched
my arm, then strode up to me, a look of helplessness and regret on his face.

"Mo Mo, I'm sorry, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those things." His
tone , his eyes so apologetic, his handsome face full of remorse.

But so what? Does saying something absolve one of responsibility?

I glanced at him indifferently, silently turning away to avoid his approach.
But he stepped in front of me again, grabbing my wrist. He paused, then hurriedly released my hand.

He looked flustered, his face full of helplessness, his urgent voice trembling slightly, "Don't be angry,
I... I'm really sorry."

This humble apology, this self-reproachful attitude, somehow made my heart ache, though
I couldn't explain why.

It was just a joke; he didn't need to apologize like that, and I didn't need to be so angry.
Then I reflected. If someone makes a joke and you take it seriously, isn't that taking it literally?
Is it unreasonable for me to make such a fuss over a joke?

Why get angry? Is a joke really worth getting so angry about? Does getting angry just prove I have something to hide?
Right, there's no reason. What's there to be angry about? It's just a joke. Is it really because I can't take a joke
?

"Mo Mo, I apologize. Don't be angry..."

Shao Yi, standing before me, lowered his head slightly, his brows furrowed, his face full of regret, his apology genuine.
This usually composed person now seemed like a helpless child.

I'd never seen him like this before. For some reason, my heart skipped a beat, followed by a
warm feeling , and my anger subsided.

I pouted and muttered a retort, "I'm not angry."

"...Really?" Shao Yi looked down at me uncertainly, then earnestly apologized again, "There definitely
won't be a next time. I won't joke like that again."

"..." Looking into his sincere and earnest eyes, I paused, then looked away,
awkwardly , accepting his apology.

The drizzling rain subsided considerably, and we remained silent for a few seconds, the atmosphere a little awkward. Suddenly, Shao Yi grabbed my
hand, handing me the umbrella handle. Once I had a firm grip, he smiled slightly and said, "Um... the school clinic is
n't far . Here, take the umbrella. Go eat."

Before I could respond, he strode off into the rain towards the school clinic, and around the corner, I
watched his figure disappear from sight.

The umbrella handle still held the warmth of his hand, a comforting, comforting touch…

When I arrived at the cafeteria, only a few students were eating. You Xingchen sat in an inconspicuous corner,
engrossed in a book. Before I even approached, he seemed to sense my presence, glancing up at me and
showering me with a gentle smile.

Seeing his smile warmed my heart, and I couldn't help but smile foolishly too. I
gestured to him to go order first.

Holding my food, I sat down opposite You Xingchen. Seeing that his food was untouched, I knew he was waiting for
me.

"Did you get wet in the rain? I tried calling your phone earlier but it wasn't answering; I was about to come find you." After I sat down
, You Xingchen closed his book, took a pack of tissues from his pocket, and handed them to me. If we were
n't in a public place, I have no doubt he would have personally
wiped my hands dry.

"No, my phone just died. Luckily you didn't come looking for me, otherwise I would have been the one looking for
you. Come on, eat your food, it's getting cold." I answered, brushing the water droplets from my hair and
casually wiping the water stains off my glasses.

"In this kind of weather, you should remember to bring an umbrella. Who...who did you borrow this umbrella from?" You Xingchen glanced at
the umbrella hanging on the back of my chair and casually asked.

My heart skipped a beat, and I remembered what had just happened. I subconsciously looked back at the blue umbrella,
then suppressed my disappointment and explained to You Xingchen, "Oh, I ran into Teacher Shao on the way and borrowed it from him."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll return the umbrella for you. We live in the same teachers' building anyway." You Xingchen
offered considerately, smiling slightly at me before picking up her chopsticks to eat.

"...Okay." I nodded nonchalantly, but couldn't help glancing at the umbrella again.

Since You Xingchen offered to return the umbrella, that was great. At least I wouldn't feel awkward seeing Shao Yi for now…

The April Fool's joke

… After dinner, the rain intensified. You Xingchen had an early class the next day, so we chatted briefly before
heading back to our dorms. Before leaving, he gave me two large oranges, offered some words of advice about taking care of myself, and then went back
.

Watching his retreating figure in the rain, holding the still-warm oranges in my hand, I felt a sweet warmth in my heart,
yet also a little uneasy.

Tonight at dinner, I had little appetite; even my usual favorite tomato and
egg stir-fry didn't tempt me. I ate only a little, wondering if he noticed?

What happened this afternoon—it's impossible not to care. All night, I felt like an invisible
stone was lodged in my chest. I didn't know whether I should tell You Xingchen, but it was just an April Fool's joke…

Okay, because of this ridiculous joke, from the moment Shao Yi opened his mouth, I felt like I'd lost my soul.
I was absent-minded the whole way, not even knowing what I should or shouldn't be thinking.

My mind wouldn't settle all night, a jumbled mess of thoughts,
like a projector endlessly replaying the moment he said he liked me.

Back in my dorm, I hung the wet blue umbrella on the balcony. Even though I told myself not to worry,
that bright blue kept flashing before my eyes.

I didn't let You Xingchen return the umbrella for me, because I was concerned about his role. No matter
how much You Xingchen and I loved each other, to others we were just teacher and student. How could I let You Xingchen
return Shao Yi's things?

What kind of suspicious looks would he receive when facing him? How would You Xingchen explain?
And if he did explain, it would only make him more suspicious.

Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but to conceal our current relationship, I must be careful.

Thinking about it from another angle, even something as small as returning an umbrella requires someone else's help. Am I really so hung up on
Shao Yi's confession that I'm afraid to face him again?

How could that be! Of course not!!

After a series of wild thoughts, I became increasingly conflicted. My mood wasn't good to begin with, and even back in the dorm,
I couldn't find a moment of peace. I sat in a corner, seething with anger, coldly observing those noisy girls.

I don't know what's gotten into them today; they're all inexplicably flamboyant, constantly and loudly proclaiming who
confessed to them, who lied without batting an eye, their tongues so clumsy they couldn't even fool a fool.

They were gossiping about so-and-so behind their backs, but anyone with eyes could see
how .

I listened intently, only to realize they were talking about
April After hearing the whole story, I suddenly understood, and my confusion dissipated.

Apparently, April Fool's Day confessions are the most popular joke these days. There's a saying circulating online with a
hidden meaning : if no one confesses to you on April Fool's Day, you're
a complete failure as a person

… No wonder Shao Yi suddenly played such a terrifying joke on me.

I don't know if receiving such a confession counts as a success; I only know I can't take such a joke.
But since it's a joke, I can only force a smile. As for Shao Yi, I can only say he's simply
—

you can't judge a book by its cover! This kind of pointless, tasteless, low-class, and pointless joke—and he's just as crazy as everyone else!!

Okay, forget it, I'm not thinking about it anymore. I'm going to wash up and go to sleep…

After a week of continuous rain, the sky finally cleared up on Sunday.
The students, who had been cooped up for a week and were practically moldy, were like birds released from their cages, heading out shopping and dating in droves early in the morning.

Everyone in the dorm had disappeared before dawn. I also got up early and, taking advantage of the bright sunshine,
washed all the clothes that had been piling up for days and hung them out to dry.

After finishing, I dressed up a bit, wearing a ladylike beige dress, and happily grabbed my
small handbag. Seeing that it was almost time, I picked up the blue umbrella from the foot of my bed, locked the door, and headed towards the teachers' dormitory
.

The bright sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling the ground in beautiful patterns. The warmth felt wonderful on my skin,
making me feel refreshed and invigorated. Every pore opened up, and with such good sunshine and a good mood, everything seemed vibrant and full
of life.

The weather today was perfect for a date. As I walked, I mentally planned: after returning the umbrella,
I'd a peek at You Xingchen's dorm, and then, I'd casually pick him up for a date. That would be
the perfect day.

The thought of strolling through the streets with You Xingchen again made my heart flutter,
and I quickened my pace towards the teachers' building.

The teachers' area was as quiet as usual; the teachers weren't as boisterous and unruly as the students,
and with it being the weekend, there were even fewer people around.

I took a breath, calmly climbed the stairs to the second floor, and turned the corner. Suddenly… a
dark figure rushed towards me.

I was startled and instinctively dodged to the side. The person, carrying a large black plastic bag in their right hand, also
seemed to be dodging, shifting to the side and moving in the same direction as me, instantly blocking my
way. Reflexively, we both moved to the other side, and once again, we stared at each other.

I couldn't help but chuckle, steadying myself before looking up to greet him, "Good
morning What a coincidence, I was just looking for you."

Shao Yi paused, slightly removing the black plastic bag, and awkwardly scratched his bangs before
flashing warm, sun-like smile. "It's you, Mo Mo! Good morning! Was there something you needed?"

"Yes, I came..."

As I spoke, our eyes met, and I froze, my heart skipping a beat.
Bathed in sunlight, he seemed to be shimmering with light. For a fleeting moment, his radiant smile
had captivated me, leaving me mesmerized and unable to look away.

It wasn't until he blinked a few times and gave me a questioning look that I snapped out of my daze. I immediately
felt ashamed of my behavior and hurriedly lowered my head to hand him the umbrella, forcing a silly smile. "I...I came
to exchange your umbrella, teacher. I'm sorry, I only just returned it now."

"Hehe, it's okay, you can return it anytime. I have other umbrellas, you didn't have to make a special trip.
Oh, I'll throw out the trash first." Shao Yi smiled as he took the umbrella, turned and walked to the trash can in the stairwell,
threw the plastic bag in, and turned back to smile. "You came so early, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Oh, not yet, I'll eat on my way back." Actually, my plan was to go on a date with You Xingchen
, have breakfast, lunch, and a romantic dinner together.

"Perfect timing! I made a big pot of mushroom and chicken congee, but I can't finish it all by myself. Why don't you join me?"
Shao Yi beckoned to me warmly, pushing open the slightly ajar door to the next room. Sure enough, the aroma of congee
wafted out.

"No, no, no, I'll just eat at the cafeteria." I quickly shook my head and waved, politely declining
his offer with a forced smile. Looking at his enthusiastic face, I really wanted to run away.

"Please do me the honor. I promise my cooking is excellent." He winked, smiling modestly, his face full of
expectation .

Really…

Seeing that I didn't move, he waved to me again.

Really… I couldn't bear to refuse…

Every time he treated me so warmly, I didn't know how to decline. Before I could even say no, I
felt guilty.

How to put it… when I thought about refusing him and seeing his disappointed expression, I felt inexplicably
guilty … because in this school, besides You Xingchen, he was the person who cared for me the most and
was most sincere.

And speaking of food, I couldn't help but think of his fragrant beef noodles; his cooking skills were truly amazing…
Okay , it's just a bowl of porridge, it won't take much time. He kindly invited me, and refusing again would seem pretentious.

The real confession came

when a large porcelain bowl was filled to the brim with chicken porridge. Looking at the enormous portion, I was terrified and
quickly shook my head and waved my hands at Shao Yi with a wry smile.

"Wow, Teacher Shao! That's way too much! How can anyone possibly finish all that? Less, less!"

I'm not exaggerating, that bowl was practically a washbasin! Just looking at that basin of porridge made me gasp.
"

It's alright, eat as much as you can." Shao Yi didn't stand on ceremony at all, placing the large bowl directly
in front of and handing me a spoon. He himself, too, sat
on the tatami mat opposite me, sharing another large basin.

"..." My lips twitched, and I gave him a few tearful glances, thinking, "Isn't he feeding a pig?
Eating this much for breakfast? He'll be full for lunch and dinner! How can anyone possibly finish that!" "It's so
painful , I don't even know how to force it in..."

"Eat, eat as much as you can, breakfast is very important, you must eat well." Seeing that I didn't move, he
tried to persuade me while he started eating without any politeness, his manners were so refined, and he ate with great relish.

Watching him eat so heartily, and then looking at the big bowl in front of me, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, and
suddenly felt weak all over. I definitely couldn't finish it...

I should have known better than to agree to let him have breakfast...

Unfortunately, there's no going back. I sighed silently, my arms felt like they weighed a ton, and I slowly picked up the porcelain
spoon, slowly stirred it, mixed the bits of green onion and ginger on the surface of the porridge into the porridge, and then slowly scooped up a
small spoonful of porridge, weakly blew on it to cool it down, and then slowly ate it.

Hmm...

I didn't expect the thick, fragrant rice porridge to melt in my mouth. The rich flavor clearly indicated it had been cooked for a
very . The diced chicken, tender and juicy, was perfectly cooked, with a delightful mushroom aroma
. Every bite was satisfying .

It really tasted great!

I squinted my eyes, savoring the porridge, and even licked the porridge off my lips. The delicious meat porridge had dispelled
my earlier negative emotions, and my appetite returned instantly. So I opened up and started eating without restraint.

I had eaten two-thirds of it before I reluctantly started chewing on my spoon, patting my bulging belly,
pushing the large bowl away from me, and muttering, "I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore... burp, I'm so full..."

As I spoke, I glanced at Shao Yi sitting opposite me, only to see him with a leisurely expression, chin propped up,
a slight smile playing on his lips, his deep eyes filled with an inscrutable tenderness, staring intently and quietly
at me.

That look made my heart flutter for no reason, as if a feather had brushed across the calm
surface of a lake , and a flush rose involuntarily to my face.

I awkwardly looked away, my eyes seemingly glancing around casually. I slowly took the spoon out of my mouth,
shifted my position slightly, and straightened up, saying with an embarrassed smile, "I'm so full, I'm almost bursting! Teacher, are you... are you
done eating ?"

"Yes, it's good that you're full. You're too thin, you should eat more. Okay, sit for a while, I'll go wash the dishes
." He smiled gently, finally turning his gaze away, and quickly began clearing the table.

"Um... let me help." Seeing him get up, I hurriedly grabbed the large bowl in front of me. How
could I eat for free without contributing anything?

"No need, just give it to me. You rest for a while, don't be polite with me." Instead of being polite, he stopped me from
getting up with one hand, took the bowl from my hand without a word, and then went into the kitchen to clean up.

Watching him bustle about, I looked around helplessly. Every time I came to eat, I couldn't help with anything, and I felt a little
embarrassed. I patted my bulging belly and sighed inwardly; there was no room for You Xingchen to have breakfast now
, and I probably wouldn't be able to eat much for lunch either. I wondered if You Xingchen was up yet? Ugh, I'm so full I can barely crawl. I'd better

let him digest first and sleep a little longer; I'll go find him later. Thinking this, I wasn't in a hurry to find You Xingchen. Instead, I moved to the large bookshelf in the corner of the hall and started browsing. What attracted me most about Shao Yi's place was this huge collection of books that suited my taste. Faced with this pile of books, I didn't hold back at all. I grabbed dozens of picture books in one go, sat down on the soft couch in front of the bookshelf, casually grabbed a cushion for support, and lazily settled into the most comfortable position, enjoying myself while digesting the chicken porridge in my stomach. Peaceful sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the room. In this tranquil environment, the occasional soft clinking of porcelain bowls from the kitchen echoed, then silence returned. A lingering aroma of chicken porridge and the unique scent of books wafted in the air, wafting past my nose as I turned the pages, gradually calming my mind. With a calm heart, I found myself immersed in this peaceful and serene morning, almost forgetting myself. Time seemed to stand still at that moment. No one disturbed me. I don't know how much time passed until Shao Yi came out and gently placed a steaming cup of tea on the table in front of me. Only then did I realize whose place this was, and I almost forgot why I was there. I hurriedly glanced at the clock on the wall and saw the hands pointed to 9:34. Wow, it was already so late! I had almost forgotten the time. I jumped up in a panic, frantically gathering the scattered books around me. Shao Yi, who had just sat down, turned his head and looked over, then put down the book he had just picked up. He asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Is something urgent?" "Ah, um, I do have something urgent," I replied vaguely, my hands still carefully handling each book and magazine.

I carefully put the books back in their original places

. "If you're in a hurry, don't rush to tidy up. I'll take care of it later. You go and do your business first." Shao Yi got up and walked over, took the books from my hands, stacked them on the ground, and smiled at me understandingly: "I'll do it, you go and do your business." "Uh, it's not that urgent, teacher, I'll take care of it." I should clean up the mess I left behind; it 's my responsibility. Even if I'm in a hurry, a little extra time won't make a difference. Taking the books from Shao Yi, I returned his calm smile, then patiently squatted down and picked up the books one by one, putting them away neatly, no longer appearing flustered. Shao Yi didn't say anything more and helped me tidy up the books, saying softly as we did so: "Is there any book you want to read? Take whichever one you want." "Okay." I nodded and smiled awkwardly. At this moment, I had no mood to borrow books. My mind was already on You Xingchen , only thinking about getting everything tidy up quickly and then hurrying to my date. With the last few books almost packed away, I breathed a sigh of relief and squatted down to pick up the picture books tucked away in the corner. Unexpectedly, at the same time, another hand reached out. As if by magic, that long, slender hand casually covered mine. The instant our hands touched, it felt like an electric shock, and I jerked my hand back in shock. But he was faster than me; his large hand swiftly closed, suddenly grasping mine tightly. His large palm held my hand firmly, and the cool warmth of his palm instantly sent a shiver down my spine. Thump—thump— my heart pounded suddenly. I turned around in surprise, looking at him with a start… only to see him slowly approaching, his handsome face no longer smiling, his solemn and serious gaze fixed on me, his deep black eyes holding unfathomable emotions. Then, he slowly spoke, saying, “I wasn’t joking that day. I’m serious, I really like you.” As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward, his breath rushing towards me. I didn’t have time to react; everything went dark, and then my lips were pressed against his. In a flash, his lips were—kissing me. Suddenly, time seemed to stop, the earth seemed to freeze, everything was frozen in time. His breath so close, his eyes so deep, his lips so hot, everything about him… made it impossible for me to breathe. The kiss came so fast, leaving me no time to catch my breath. My heart pounded, the sound so loud it seemed to vibrate in my eardrums, my mind went blank, I couldn’t think anymore. Until a soft touch came against my lips, his tongue… “Mmm!” I jolted awake and pushed him away. But his hand held mine tightly the whole time. Not only did I not push him away, but I stumbled and fell on top of him. With each breath, his grip tightened, the force so strong it hurt. He didn't let go , but instead held me close. I stood frozen, lost and confused, my breath ragged, my heart pounding, my face burning. I felt that if I made a sound, I would lose control… Neither of us spoke for a moment, the atmosphere becoming unbearably heavy. This time, he wasn't joking . This time, he spoke so seriously, so firmly, so brooking no refusal… “I… I was abrupt… but I hope you can consider it…” His gentle voice rang out again, each word clear in my ears. When I looked up in surprise, I saw his hopeful expression, a hint of unease on his face, looking at me so intently, as if trying to see into the depths of my heart. I turned my head sharply, the shock in my heart leaving me unable to think. My instinct was to run, and subconsciously I did just that. I forcefully pulled my hand away from his, pressing it to my raging heart, feeling as if my blood was flowing backward, my heart about to break. "I, I, I have to go." Before I could even finish a sentence, I stumbled to my feet, not daring to look at . As if a raging beast was behind me, I fled out the door in a panic. I knew nothing, dared not think of anything, only that I had to get out of here as soon as possible. Another second later… …unthinkable… I ran haphazardly, and as I turned a corner, a familiar figure suddenly came into view. Caught off guard, I felt my heart stop, and I forgot to breathe. I froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning, staring blankly at You Xingchen. He was looking at me at the same time. Our eyes met, and he paused, about to take a step towards me. The next second, the scene I least wanted to face unfolded dramatically in my most helpless moment. A hurried call came from behind: "Mo, you..." My emotions were in turmoil. "Mo, you... forgot something." Shao Yi, who had caught up, was carrying my handbag. Perhaps because he had run so fast, his face was slightly flushed. As he reached out to hand the bag over, he also noticed You Xingchen coming down from upstairs. At this awkward moment, his expression subtly changed. He seemed about to say something but didn't. After a few seconds, he casually greeted You Xingchen, "Good morning." "Good morning." You Xingchen nodded calmly, then slowly walked down the stairs. As he passed me, he gave me a deep look but said nothing, continuing down the stairs. His calm, indifferent expression was as if he were treating a stranger. I watched silently, my heart pounding with panic. My face stiffened, and I stared blankly at his retreating figure until his clothes disappeared around the corner of the stairs. He didn't even glance back at me. I clutched at my clothes, feeling helpless and anxious, as if I had done something wrong. My legs felt like lead, unable to move. "Mo..." Shao Yi took two steps forward, his expression hesitant, as if he wanted to say something. But the moment I heard his voice, a sudden, violent tremor ran through me. I snapped out of my daze, instinctively snatching the bag from his hand. Without daring to look up, I rushed down the stairs in a panic. My eyes were fixed on the steps beneath my feet as I ran headlong without stopping. I had to escape. I didn't have the courage to face him again. He made me increasingly anxious, as if lingering even a second longer would plunge me into an abyss of unrecoverable emotion. I don't know, I really don't know how to respond to him. I'd rather run away, run away from his questions, run away from his gaze, run away from everything about him, run away from facing him.

My mind is a jumbled mess of emotions, a chaotic web of feelings that feels suffocating,
leaving me disoriented, unable to think, and even struggling to breathe.

When did my relationship with Shao Yi begin to change? When did he start liking me?
Why would he like me?

His fierce confession really scared me, yet I couldn't bring myself to refuse…

Yes, I couldn't agree, but I couldn't refuse either… And I discovered I didn't dislike his kiss
…

I can't explain the feeling, I just didn't dislike it…

Everything is completely chaotic. Why did it turn out like this? What's wrong with me?
What ?

I rushed downstairs, only to find it empty, not a soul in sight. The silence in the courtyard was unsettling.
I looked around blankly, but couldn't see You Xingchen. A wave of anxiety washed over me, and I ran towards the school gate
like .

After running a few steps, I couldn't help but glance back. I saw Shao Yi standing
motionless in the second-floor corridor. I couldn't see his expression, but I inexplicably felt his deep gaze following me.

My heart clenched. I lowered my head, pretending not to see anything, and like an ostrich, fled from his sight.

I wasn't slow; soon, I spotted You Xingchen ahead. A sense
of relief washed over me, and I jogged to catch up. Only when we were a short distance apart did I slow down, my gaze fixed
on his back.

What should I do? Should I confess? Should I tell him? Should I declare that I absolutely wouldn't…have any ulterior
motives…? But why do I feel so guilty?

This feeling is awful… I find myself unable to say anything.

Suddenly, a cheerful cell phone rang from my bag, ringing briefly before going silent. My
heart skipped a beat.

…Please, it can't be him.

I stood there stunned for a moment, then finally pulled my phone out of my bag. Seeing it was just a text message, I slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The sender was You Xingchen. I instinctively glanced at the figure in front of me and hurriedly opened the message.

"Where are you?"

"I'm behind you."

After I replied, You Xingchen paused, seemingly casually glancing back at me,
then turned back to put his phone away and continued walking steadily towards the school gate.

My unease intensified because of that calm glance. I gripped my phone tightly, quickened my pace
to catch up, impulsively wanting to walk beside him and hold his waving hand.

But I dared not, and could not do so. The passing students, the familiar faces, the strange looks—none of it
allowed me to do that.

My heart sank. I could only follow closely behind You Xingchen, keeping a safe distance, all the way out of
the school gate. I followed him to the bus stop, boarded the 122 bus, and we stood silently
facing each other until we got off the bus half an hour later.

As soon as the bus doors closed, the hurried crowd dispersed at the exit. I was bewildered, unsure of where I was,
searching for You Xingchen. Suddenly, my hand tightened; he was beside me, taking my hand.

"Let's go." He smiled faintly, tightening his grip, and without a word, led me forward
.

"Teacher, where are we going?" All the way, I couldn't fathom what he was thinking, or what he had sensed.
Why didn't he ask why I was with Shao Yi? What had happened?

I was flustered and completely at a loss. I quickly caught up with him, reaching his side, and
gripped , feeling the warmth in my palm. I stared intently at him.

But I found his calm, handsome face, adorned with his usual gentle smile, without the slightest hint of anything amiss.

"Impossible...

" "Teacher...you..."

"Are you hungry? Have you had breakfast?" The question I was about to blurt out was interrupted by him. Suddenly, he stopped,
turned around, and led me in another direction, deciding as we walked, "Let's have breakfast first, and then I'll take you to
the amusement park."

The amusement park? I was slightly taken aback. So he was planning to take me to the amusement park? Wasn't he planning to take
me to a secluded place for interrogation?

His smile left me feeling confused. I couldn't fathom his thoughts anymore, so I could only silently follow him.
We found a clean little restaurant, sat down facing each other, and watched him order several breakfast dishes. I clutched my clothes,
remaining silent, not telling him that I was already full.

You Xingchen ordered a meal for two, which included my favorite soy milk and fried dough sticks. He then handed me the menu, asking
, "Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"That's enough," I quickly shook my head, secretly patting my stomach, hoping I could still fit
something in.

The meal arrived quickly. I managed to drink a few sips of soy milk and eat a couple of bites
of , realizing I couldn't eat anymore.

I timidly looked at You Xingchen, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, and meekly offered him half a fried dough stick
, stammering, "I can't eat anymore..."

"Only ate this much?" You Xingchen looked over with his deep eyes, raised an eyebrow slightly, paused for a moment, and then
showed a helpless smile, "Okay, give it to me."

I ate very little this meal, feeding most of it to You Xingchen, and then watched him smile
at me with no change in expression, happily eating my portion, still as gentle and considerate as ever...

He didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, so I didn't want to think about anything, didn't want to mention anything,
I just wanted to spend this day with him, to relax and have a good date with him.

This relationship is settled

. The city's largest amusement park is located in the suburbs, covering an area the size of more than twenty football fields, and has the most
advanced amusement facilities in the country. There are so many thrilling rides that people scream with excitement, and the most attractive attraction for tourists
is the giant Ferris wheel that is 50 stories high.

With immense joy, You Xingchen and I entered this world of fun. The bustling crowds
moved through the park, exploring the various thrilling rides. Shouts of excitement and laughter filled the air,
and everyone's face radiated childlike joy.

The rides were truly spectacular, almost overwhelming. I excitedly grabbed the guidebook...
Tu, holding You Xingchen's hand, ran excitedly towards the giant Ferris wheel.

My eyes were fixed on the slowly rotating Ferris wheel ahead, its towering height making my heart
surge with emotion, a feeling of awe welling up inside me. Riding a Ferris wheel with your loved one is
the most romantic and happiest moment in every couple's life, let alone one I had always dreamed of .

"Teacher, teacher, let's go ride the Ferris wheel!" I excitedly called back to You Xingchen, tightly holding
his hand. In this joyful world, my heart became carefree. I didn't care about
the gazes or our social status; I held his hand openly and honestly,
how wonderful this moment was.

"Slow down, no need to run, we can go through them one by one." You Xingchen chuckled as he caught up with me, his eyes
full affection. He reached out and ruffled my hair, suggesting, "Let's save the best for last, okay?"

"Mmm...okay!" I nodded happily, grinning as I wrapped my arms around his, closing
the distance , and followed him to try the thrilling rides I'd never experienced before.

The ten-loop roller coaster, as the name suggests, has ten 360-degree tumbling rotations. The
breathtaking speed was incredible; a single loop took less than a few minutes, so fast that it was hard to keep up, and screams erupted continuously.

I kept my eyes tightly shut, held my breath, and nervously gripped You Xingchen's hand beside me. The screams kept ringing in my ears;
it wasn't that I didn't want to scream, but the rush of wind made it impossible for me to open my mouth.

After one loop, I was dizzy from the ten 360-degree rotations, my legs were weak, and the lingering fear was still there.

The moment my feet touched the ground, I felt the thrill of that instant, my chest surging with excitement. Reflecting on it,
it was like taking a stimulant; I couldn't resist the urge for another thrill.

Thinking this, I acted without hesitation, pulling You Xingchen on another ride. Finally, I
got off, satisfied, noticing You Xingchen's unchanged expression, his hearty laughter, and his steady steps.

He boasted that he was just as tough as me, our courage on par. I scoffed, and a
competitive spirit took hold, leading to even more frenzied riding. Afterwards, we rode everything from vertical motorcycles and the giant pendulum to the washing machine—
all the thrilling rides.

When we went to ride the carousel with a bunch of kids, I felt a little awkward. I'm not a kid anymore,
yet I still dream about carousels.

I chose a golden horse, and saw You Xingchen already seated on the white one next to me,
gently smiling as he reached out and took my hand.

The carousel began to leap and run to the tinkling music, and colorful, dreamlike lights shone all around, making us feel
as if were in a fairytale. Suddenly, You Xingchen before me was a handsome prince on a white horse,
and I was his beloved princess. I smiled at him, and he gazed at me; our hands were clasped tightly, and in this romantic
fairytale world, we would be happy forever.

As the sun set, we boarded the Ferris wheel. As it slowly rose, I leaned contentedly against
You Xingchen, gazing at the vast beauty below, quietly savoring the romantic warmth of the moment.

The beautiful sunset gradually painted the entire sky red, and the afterglow of dusk spread in, adding a touch
of wistful melancholy to the scene—a beauty that seemed to fade with time.

I looked up at You Xingchen behind me. The setting sun outlined his handsome face, and bathed in its light, he
appeared even more dazzling. His obsidian-like eyes shone even brighter, staring
at me quietly, so deep and captivating.

At that moment, for some reason, a touch of emotion welled up in my heart. This man is mine.
How fortunate I am to have met him! If only we could be together forever, never to be apart…

“Teacher.”

“Mm.” You Xingchen responded softly, nuzzling his chin against my head.

“This morning… I went to return an umbrella, intending to visit you on the way…”

“Mm.” His expression remained calm. His slender fingers gently played with my fingers,
asking no further questions.

I stared intently at him, but still couldn't see through his thoughts. For a moment, I felt at a loss, my heart filled with
unease. Should I confess everything, or should I carefully conceal it? "I..."

"Mo Mo, there are some things..."

He suddenly interrupted me. Our hands clasped together silently, and then he seemed to sigh,
as if he had hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to speak.

"We've been together for over a year, haven't we? Hmm... it's not a short time, but not a long time either.
Thinking we've had quite a few arguments and suspicions. Whenever that happened, you'd
hide from me like a little crybaby, and I was immature in my actions. I didn't understand what you were
thinking distrust of me was. Was it because you loved me so deeply that you were so insecure?"

"Maybe it really is because it's too deep... I'm the same way. I love you so much that I'm afraid of losing you. I'm
always afraid you'll leave me, and I'm also afraid you don't truly love me. From the beginning, I've
tried my best, asking you to be my girlfriend, asking you to love me, and even asking you to marry me... Ha, actually, I'm
really selfish, aren't I?"

"No! Teacher, you're great! Not selfish at all!" I instinctively retorted, surprised to hear
his words. My heart was already deeply moved.

I couldn't believe he had so many thoughts running through his mind, but I didn't know, I never knew. Was it because I
had never revealed that I also loved him so deeply? So he felt the same unease, the same anxiety as me.
Because he loved me so much, he would panic at the slightest disturbance, afraid of losing me.

"Teacher, I love you, I love you so much." If saying "I love you" could convey all my feelings,
I wouldn't mind telling him all the time that I truly loved him.

You Xingchen looked at me gently, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Yes, I
love , so much so that I don't know how to keep you by my side. It's all because I love you so much that
everything I do is taken for granted, and I take it for granted that you must love me too... But, actually,
there are many things that I can't just do as I want..."

As he said this, his forehead touched mine, his gentle breath brushing against my nose, and he said softly,
"Mo Mo, in the end, some things are still your choice. No matter the outcome, I should trust you, should
n't I?" "

...Mm."

At that moment, I understood.

Even if I said nothing, he would have believed me, right…?

Overwhelmed with emotion, my eyes welled up. Under the colorful sunset, at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, I could no longer
suppress

the tremor in my heart and leaned in to kiss him…

The moment I turned back, the screech of brakes was deafening, drowning out his voice.

Everything shattered, blood swirling across the world. At that moment, besides the
excruciating , there was even more heartache—watching him fall with me into a pool of blood.

Who goes to hell after death? Who goes to heaven? Is everything already predetermined?
Is it too late now?

I don't want this, I don't want it to be like this! Teacher…

With the last vestige of consciousness, I desperately tried to cry out, but my mind was peeling away like silk,
tears falling silently and helplessly.

Finally, I was plunged into deep darkness, and faintly heard a distant, ethereal call. I didn't know who it was
...

Teacher...

The doubts in my heart couldn't be expressed, so no one answered me. It felt like there was nothing but
darkness , not a ray of light in sight. The heavy atmosphere pressed down on my nerves, and my internal organs ached
as if they were about to shatter.

"If, if you could exchange your life for a sliver of his life, would you?" In a daze,
a faint voice rang out, like a dream.

Who?

"Would you?"

I couldn't help but cry...

I desperately answered in my heart.

I would, I would, I would...

"Hey, still not getting up? Aren't you afraid of being late?"

"Hey, why do you care about her? It's not us who will be late."

A few sharp and sarcastic words poured over me, jolting me awake. After a moment of confusion,
I looked at the scene before me and blankly pressed one hand against my rapidly beating heart and the other against my sweaty forehead.

I took a few deep breaths. It was just a dream.

I was terrified…

I didn't dare think about it, but the lingering fear of the dream kept replaying in my heart. For some reason, the scene kept replaying itself over and
over again. My eyes welled up, and tears finally streamed down my cheeks and into my hair. I quickly
pulled my sleeve to cover my eyes.

I thought I had really lost You Xingchen. That dream was so real, so real that when I realized he
was about to leave, my heart ached terribly, so much so that I couldn't breathe.

"Hey, have you heard? Someone leaked the news, saying there's
an inappropriate relationship between a teacher and student at our school, a teacher-student romance!" Just then, the voices of the girls in the dormitory gossiping drifted over.

"Holy crap, really? Who is it? A teacher-student romance! That's explosive!"

"We don't know who it is yet, but do you think it might be Teacher Shao? Or Teacher You?"

"Oh my god, how can this be? All the handsome guys are taken, what's left in this world?!
I'm such a fan of theirs."

"I don't think it could be Teacher You. Look, on his first day of teaching, he was already wearing an engagement
ring ."

"Let me tell you..." The rustling footsteps faded into the distance until the gossip stopped, and
the dormitory returned to silence.

I lay on my bed, lost in thought, staring blankly at the curtains. I slowly raised my hand and reached around my neck to find the silver necklace,
looking at the pure white gold ring hanging on it.

I was slightly distracted, then took the ring off, slipped it onto my ring finger, and gently stroked the smooth
band.

I heard everything they said—a teacher-student relationship… Because of this unbreakable barrier, I've been enduring and concealing it
all this time , yet I feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

What is there to hide? How big of a mistake is it? Is it a heinous crime? Or something utterly immoral? They
're all just a bunch of hypocrites…

It's just a simple love story, just me falling in love with him. Who's wrong?

I scoffed, finally understanding something: this isn't a dream, not one where you
only feel heartache after you've lost it.

Yes, so what am I afraid of? What do I have to fear? Even if they find out I'm with You Xingchen,
so what? I love him, and he loves me. It doesn't matter age, it doesn't matter status; love is love.

We don't need to care about others. This is our own life, and this is how it's decided.

"

Once I figured it out, it wasn't so hard to face anymore." I took my phone from the bag at the foot of the bed and dialed You
Xingchen . At that moment, I impulsively wanted to hear his voice.

The call connected quickly, and his gentle, deep voice came through,
soothing my heart and softening my grip.

"Teacher..." I murmured, but my eyes welled up with tears, and I suddenly felt so sentimental I wanted to cry.

"Hmm, lazybones, are you up?" His lazy tone made me feel relaxed.

"Yeah! I'm not up yet, I don't want to get out of bed—" I sniffed,
giving a big yawn to hide my discomfort, then chuckled.

He probably doesn't know that just hearing his voice filled my
chest with a feeling of pure happiness.

"Get up quickly, you'll be late for your morning class."

"Oh, I know."

"I'll go to the cafeteria to buy you breakfast first."

"Okay."

"Then get up quickly, I'll wait for you."

"Teacher!"

"Hmm?"

"Why do I love you so much?" I asked foolishly, tears
streaming down my face uncontrollably.

"Silly girl, I love you too."

"Hehehehe—" Just that cheesy sentence made me laugh like a fool.

Stepping onto the balcony, I stretched out my arms comfortably, fingers spread, facing the brilliant sunlight, looking happily at the gleaming platinum ring on
my middle finger , and I made a decision...

I've walked this path to the library countless times, I could walk it with my eyes closed without straying, but this time I walked with
great anxiety, sweating profusely, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, my heart pounding wildly.

Finally, I mustered my courage and stood guard on the tree-lined avenue that led to the library, until a figure appeared in the distance...
As he slowly came into view, I immediately took a deep breath, clenched my fists, and forcefully suppressed my wildly beating heart. I
rushed to him in one go.

"Teacher Shao, I have something to tell you!"

Shao Yi immediately stopped, looked up from his book, and stared at me with slight surprise. Then, a gentle smile appeared on his
lips , just like always. "Sure."

Without another word, I took the lead and hurried towards the school gate, stealing
glances Shao Yi following behind, maintaining a safe distance.

After walking for about twenty minutes, I unknowingly led him to the
secluded Scenes from that time flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern. After much thought, I
sighed. It was time to make a decision.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and the surroundings were quiet. I stopped, turned around with my hands behind my back, and mustered all my
courage to look him directly in the eye. I said in a roundabout, low voice, "Teacher Shao... I have a secret to tell you."

"Oh? What secret?" Shao Yi smiled and walked to my side. His gentle tone
and the deep affection in his eyes were captivating.

I lowered my head nervously, not daring to meet his burning gaze any longer. I leaned against the railing, my eyes
fixed on the distant stream.

The chirping of birds and insects seemed to come from nowhere, a somewhat urgent sound. I clenched my fists nervously and took a deep breath:
"I'm only telling you this secret now, Teacher Shao. No one else knows, and I don't want anyone else to know...
So, Teacher Shao, you have to keep it a secret for me."

Just as I was about to finish, he suddenly stood beside me, leaning against the railing like I did. His
tall figure blocked the glaring sunlight from my eyes. His breath was close enough that my heart pounded, and
I felt inexplicably flustered.

His tone was light and cheerful. "Okay, go ahead."

"I...I...I'm actually very stubborn, very inflexible. I'm the kind of person who, once I've made up my mind, never wants to change it
..." I had rehearsed my lines hundreds of times, but as soon as I opened my mouth, everything fell apart. I felt uncertain, yet
there was no turning back. "If I like someone...I'll stubbornly like them for a lifetime. So...
I've liked Teacher You since high school, and that hasn't changed. I like him. Maybe you all think I'm ungrateful
, but...he's the only one in my heart."

This secret, kept hidden deep inside, was finally exposed. My voice became slightly agitated at the end.
I didn't explain the whole story; I only knew I had confessed, I was open about it. The person I loved was You Xingchen,
only him.

After returning from the amusement park, after that terrible dream that morning, I finally had the idea of
giving up entirely .

However, after this thorough confession, I immediately felt intimidated,
fearful of my reckless and impulsive actions. The outcome at this moment was entirely in his hands.

Time ticked by, the atmosphere so quiet it was suffocating. After I had poured out my heart,
he remained silent, his long arms resting on the railing, standing motionless. When I
finally looked up, I saw a forced smile on his lips, his deep black eyes staring straight ahead, seemingly
gazing at something.

My heart pounded, and I began to panic. All my courage vanished in his silence. He
shouldn't have reacted like this, shouldn't have been so deep and silent. At least he should have reprimanded me, not given me
this look that made me want to back down.

"I…"

Just as I was about to speak, breathless, Shao Yi's voice finally rang out.

"Actually, if you just wanted to reject me... you didn't need to say these things." His deep voice carried
a hint of helplessness as he turned to look at me, a rather disappointed smile on his face.

"I..." Yes, the purpose of doing this was indeed to politely decline his feelings, but as
soon as the words left my mouth, a pang of heartache welled up in my heart.

But facing him, at this point, I had no other choice. "Teacher Shao, what I said is
true . From beginning to end, my heart has only ever belonged to him."

--

Then, after a long while, Shao Yi didn't say anything more, staring intently at me for a long time, as if
searching for the slightest suspicious clue on my face. Finally, perhaps understanding, he nodded slightly, turned and left without
saying a word .

No one knew that as I watched his departing figure, I didn't feel relieved or overjoyed; instead,
my heart ached, bitter, and I was too heartbroken to cry.

Eternal Love (Completed)

The rumors of a teacher-student romance at school were rampant, with many conflicting opinions, but no one had any concrete
information . It quickly became just another topic of conversation.

Even those involved wouldn't be foolish enough to expose everything to the public eye and be under the scrutiny of thousands.
Without concrete evidence, You Xingchen and I continued our peaceful university life.

With You Xingchen's guidance, my studies became much easier. But what truly brought relief
was the subtle change in the dormitory. The situation of knowing someone's face but not their heart finally reversed. An

internal conflict erupted in the dormitory, but this time, the victim wasn't me, but
Li Ying, the classmate who had been orchestrating these farces.

For some reason, she began to dislike the other girls in the dormitory and started
badmouthing them to the other students in the same year.

Then, the truth came out, and the girls in the dorm started to turn against her. Dramatically, our dorm
erupted into infighting, a daily drama of backstabbing and intrigue.

Eventually, it reached the dorm's head, and we all received a harsh scolding for our perceived lack of progress.

This time, I watched from the sidelines, gleefully observing their conflict.
All that sisterly affection they seemed to have in front of me had ultimately been exposed. The truth was
crystal clear .

I felt a secret sense of satisfaction about this.

Since their infighting, I was no longer the target of everyone's criticism in the dorm, and my university
life finally became more enjoyable. However, there's still one person I can't shake off—Shao Yi.

After that polite refusal, we rarely saw each other. The old history professor returned to
the classroom , and he stepped down from his substitute teaching position to continue working as the school doctor.

A relationship that never even began now only brings awkwardness when we meet. The little things we shared in the past
have been subtly and deliberately forgotten by me, so we've become just a normal, simple teacher-student relationship.

Perhaps, maybe it will stay like this until graduation, and we'll never cross paths again.

—The

May Day holiday, a mere three days, isn't long, just a brief respite. Long-distance
travel would be too rushed, so many students preferred to stay in their dorms and relax.

The sun was shining brightly, the weather was fine, and at that moment, You Xingchen and I stepped onto this vast and beautiful
Lover's Sea. Under the open sky, hand in hand, barefoot, we left parallel footprints, splashing in
the surging waves.

In moments with You Xingchen, I realized I'd never truly be satisfied.

The burning kiss pulled away from my lips, and I collapsed weakly into You Xingchen's arms, breathing in
his refreshing scent. I was too shy to lift my head, my heart pounding. I both enjoyed his possessive and domineering
kiss and felt embarrassed being stared at in broad daylight.

The sea breeze gently caressed my hair, and he chuckled softly in my ear, his long, strong arms
encircling . Though he didn't speak, the atmosphere was serene and beautiful.

The platinum ring on his finger gleamed in the sunlight, shimmering with an eternal light.
I didn't know what the future held; I only knew I wanted to walk this path with him.

A sudden surge of emotion welled up inside me. I smiled, lifted my head, hooked my arms around You Xingchen's shoulders, and, unable to resist,
kissed him. His handsome eyes crinkled into a smile, a smile
more radiant than the sunlight itself.

"Teacher, tell me... when did you realize you liked me?" My mind went blank, and I couldn't help but
ask, even though I don't remember asking before. I just feel like I can never get enough of those sweet nothings.

"Didn't I say that?" You Xingchen leaned closer with a smile, lightly touching my nose with his, his answer
ambiguous .

I slightly turned my head to avoid his teasing lips, cupped his cheeks in my hands, and looked directly at him seriously.
"I didn't say that. Confess now, or face the consequences."

He raised an eyebrow and smiled gently. "It started with a kiss."

"Uh? What kiss? Which kiss?" I was completely confused.

"Guess."

"Ugh!! I can't guess!" I immediately protested, jumping up and hooking my arms around his neck. "Was it
the time you took me home? Or the time we watched fireworks?"

"Neither." He smiled mysteriously.

"Wait a minute? Then when else?"

"Heh... I... won't... tell... you!" The guy in front of me uttered the last word, and before I
could react, he suddenly kissed me on the cheek, then turned and ran away with a mocking smile.

"Heh! Teacher, you dare run away?! You're dead if you don't tell me—"

In this life, none of us can escape.
