This is really something...

Chen Yuan's mood was subtle as he looked at the letter.

Because the crucial point was that he didn't know this girl.

Although she affectionately called him 'Senior,' Chen Yuan couldn't just consider her a friend.

After all, this whole thing was just Shen Xiao Ran's leftover romantic debt.

So, what exactly happened back then…

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Fu asked curiously, seeing Chen Yuan staring blankly at a letter.

Then, Chen Yuan replied, "A love letter."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Zhou Fu immediately lost interest.

Wait, isn't your train of thought a little strange? How can you be so uninterested just because it's a love letter?

What did you think it was going to be?

A challenge?

A threatening letter?

A fencing application?

If it were Zhou Fu, it really might have been!

"So, who's it from?" Zhou Fu asked casually, as if she were used to this sort of thing.

"A girl who threw me the shuttlecock when I was playing badminton earlier…"

"Eek! Was that when I was playing badminton with you last time?" Zhou Fu said in surprise.

So, it was when you were playing!

Shen Xiao Ran really knew how to pick friends, finding such a gentle pushover in one go.

"Yeah," Chen Yuan nodded lightly, responding, "It was that girl."

"I see." Recalling that scene, Zhou Fu said with some emotion, "When you asked her to pick up the shuttlecock, I was a little worried that it might be too much to ask of her. But when she threw the shuttlecock back with a smile, I realized that for some people with disabilities, equal treatment is the most important thing."

Oh, I see.

No wonder she was charmed by Xiao Ran, who had taken over his body.

Because having been rained on, she wanted to lend an umbrella to others.

But just this kind of thing wouldn't be enough to make someone 'infatuated.'

Sure enough, his face was pretty awesome.

No choice, this was a good-looking shell that even a girl like Xia Xin Yu approved of and even actively pursued.

Or perhaps…

Shen Xiao Ran's kindness that day was fully conveyed, allowing the other person to experience such wonderful warmth for the first time.

After all, if it was Shen Xiao Ran, she would be the most capable of empathizing with disabled people.

"But even if that's what you say, it's hard for people to do that," Zhou Fu muttered, "I seriously suspect that you asked her to pick up the shuttlecock because you weren't wearing your glasses and couldn't see clearly."

"You really are a clever little devil," Chen Yuan smiled.

"Eeh? Really?" Zhou Fu asked curiously.

"Yeah, it's true."

Chen Yuan nodded and replied, "Although I wouldn't discriminate, everyone's thoughts are different. If I had seen clearly that there was a problem with her legs, I wouldn't have asked her to pick up the shuttlecock. After all, I'm also afraid of getting scolded."

Chen Yuan didn't know what he would actually do.

And he only said this because he wanted to take off the high hat on his head.

It was Shen Xiao Ran who was full of positive energy.

The person she liked was also Shen Xiao Ran.

Go ahead and do yuri.

Just kidding.

Chen Yuan wouldn't be so heartless; he would go see this little crippled sparrow.

Then, he would make everything clear.

"Should I tell Xin Yu about this?" Chen Yuan asked, looking at Zhou Fu.

"Why are you asking me?" Zhou Fu asked, feeling very honored.

"I'm afraid that if I don't tell Xin Yu, you'll turn around and sell me out."

"…Yikes! Scumbag!"

Zhou Fu suddenly became violent, rubbing Chen Yuan's hair with her hands, angry at his distrust of her, rubbing and punching as she said, "Really, you ungrateful wretch. I clearly said I was on your side, and you still say such things. I fed my friend fees to a dog, spit it out, spit it out…"

Hearing the intense 'conflict' behind him, Zhou Yu quickly turned his head.

"What? You came as soon as I mentioned a dog?"

Then, while defending against Zhou Fu's attacks, Chen Yuan casually offended Zhou Yu as well.

He was just like Empress Dowager Cixi, about to declare war on eleven countries, focusing on being a sword salesman.

Then, Zhou Yu also joined in tormenting Chen Yuan.

"Ugh, this guy's really asking for it," He Si Jiao complained, propping up her face.

"I think... you shouldn't tell her."

Just then, Li You You, sitting behind Chen Yuan, suddenly spoke.

Then, everyone looked at her at the same time.

Startled, she panicked a little. Putting herself in his place, she weakly said, "The girl must have mustered a lot of courage to dare to say that. Her feelings should be respected somewhat. You have a girlfriend, so just reject her clearly…"

As long as he was clear.

She wouldn't pester him anymore.

That was what Li You You thought.

And after experiencing 'clear rejection' on the day of the New Year's Eve party, she also decided not to pester Chen Yuan anymore.

Her secret love ended without a trace.

But thinking about how people like herself still existed, she empathized again.

And she pitied the other party's courageous moth flying into the flame.

"If Xin Yu thinks you're so popular at school, it might make her feel insecure."

Zhou Fu probably understood Li You You's feelings, so she followed along and said, "Just reject her directly because you have a girlfriend. Then, tell Xin Yu about this after it's over."

"The 'key' to not saying it at the time is?" Chen Yuan asked.

"If Xin Yu told you that a boy was going to confess to her after school, how would you feel?" He Si Jiao asked.

"Of course, I'd go to school to find that boy…"

Halfway through, Chen Yuan suddenly realized that doing so would indeed be a bit impulsive.

"It depends on the person," He Si Jiao said again, "You going to school would definitely escalate things. So, we should discuss it based on the situation. If the other party doesn't know Xin Yu has a boyfriend, Xin Yu rejects him, and he apologizes, then it's fine. But if the other party knows about it and still continues to pester her…"

"Then smash him."

Zhou Yu clenched his fist, putting himself in Chen Yuan's shoes, thinking that someone was going to relentlessly pursue He Si Jiao, and even doing such a thing knowing that he was her boyfriend, there was no other solution but to fight.

If he didn't fight at this time, what was he waiting for?

Or would he be a cuckold?

Impossible.

"…Then a boyfriend would definitely need to step in." He Si Jiao looked at Zhou Yu, who had suddenly become competitive, her face reddening, and her gaze gradually wandering.

Then, Zhou Fu and Chen Yuan said in unison, "How sweet."

"Hey, what's with you two and your synchronized statements? I'm going to report you to Xin Yu!" He Si Jiao immediately became anxious, giving the 'mother and son' a serious warning.

"That's okay, Xin Yu trusts my character, hehe." Zhou Fu calmly made a scissor-hand gesture, completely fearless.

"But I don't trust Chen Yuan's character."

Looking at the guy who had all the objective conditions to be a playboy, He Si Jiao complained.

"I don't trust him either," Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.

"Hey, what do you guys mean?"

Chen Yuan, who was looked down upon so much, was unhappy and looked directly at the great Zhou Fu, who needed no further explanation, and said, "Tell me, do you trust me?"

"Hehe." In response, Zhou Fu smiled and said, changing the subject, "It's mainly because I manage you well, restraining your impulse to be a playboy."

"Hey, you guys…"

"I believe in you."

Just then, a girl raised her hand quietly.

And this person was Li You You.

And after she said that, everyone became subtle…

Heartache.

"It should be easy for a guy like Chen Yuan to find a girlfriend if he wanted to, but he seems to have only had one since high school…"

Realizing that she was going too far, Li You You quickly interrupted with a smile, then concluded, "If a girl like Xia Xin Yu doesn't appear again, he wouldn't cheat, right?"

"Do you think I, Zhou Fu, am not as good as Xia Xin Yu?" He Si Jiao immediately asked.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute."

Zhou Fu quickly raised both hands, interrupting the conversation, and said righteously, "Don't think that if Chen Yuan liked me, he would be with me. After all, it depends on my opinion."

"What's your opinion?" He Si Jiao asked.

"Um…"

Zhou Fu studied Chen Yuan, although she really liked him in her heart, and if Xia Xin Yu didn't exist, she might really be with him, but considering the comedic effect, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you still need to work hard."

"…Tch."

Clicking his tongue in displeasure, Chen Yuan didn't want to continue chatting with this group of people who were making fun of him.

However, there was one thing they said that was very true.

That was, he would make Xin Yu anxious.

It was better to resolve the matter first and then confess to her.

But…

Why did he feel that something was a little off?

Why did he always feel that these reasons weren't applicable…

…

Xia Xin Yu's heart was a little chaotic, but the ability to link to the other party's learning made her reluctant to waste it, so she devoted herself wholeheartedly to dual-thread learning for the entire afternoon.

But during the break before evening self-study, she finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

So, risking getting her phone caught, she hid in the stall of the restroom.

Then, she took out her phone, preparing to send a message to Chen Yuan…

But, what should she say?

How did she know that he had received a love letter?

Moreover, if she started by asking, 'Are you okay?' would he tell her the truth?

But even if he told her, what could she do?

Skip evening self-study, run to Eleventh High, and declare her dominance?

Or be angry with him for why this kind of thing happened.

Neither was right…

So, under normal circumstances, not saying anything was the best thing to do.

As long as he clearly rejected her, this matter would pass.

And she believed Chen Yuan would clearly reject her.

Then don't think about it, let's go…

Just then, a message came in.

Yuan Bao: A girl wrote me a letter and asked me to talk to her after school. I'll reject her clearly today, can you wait for me a little bit?

"…" When she saw this message, Xia Xin Yu's eyes lit up with genuine joy, as if the clouds in her heart had been cleared away and she was seeing the light completely.

If she hadn't linked with him and didn't know about this love letter, she might indeed have been worried, insecure, and nervous because of this sentence.

But in the end, it would all come down to one emotion—peace of mind.

I'm not your parents, I won't worry so much about some things that I become at a loss of what to do, you don't need to have any worries in this regard.

No matter what happens, I can share the burden with you.

Because, I'm your girlfriend.

Xia Xin Yu: Thumbs up for Comrade Xiao Yuan, gold medal boyfriend [thumbs up]

Xia Xin Yu: Then, I'll wait for you obediently

Xia Xin Yu sent a [well-behaved sitting] emoticon.

Closing her phone, Xia Xin Yu immediately felt extremely comfortable.

Because a certain man was extremely upright!

[Zhu You Er, sitting on the couch, raised her smooth jade foot, her thumb slightly curved, extending towards Chen Yan's leg standing in front of her, then moved upwards, slowly reaching the inner thigh…]

Upright my ass!

No, don't read this kind of thing at this time!

Also, what kind of decent author writes about girls' feet in every chapter?

………

School was over. Because he had something to do, Chen Yuan didn't leave with Zhou Fu. He carried his backpack out of the classroom and the teaching building.

And that's when he realized that the idiot who wrote the love letter hadn't included the time or location at all.

She hadn't even left any contact information.

Hey, what's going on?

Where am I supposed to find you?

Helpless, he had to hold the love letter and wander around the school.

Just then, a girl on the track next to the playground stopped and waved to him after seeing Chen Yuan: "Chen Yuan."

Chen Yuan was stunned, then looked up and saw that it was Li You You.

Then, he immediately ran towards her.

"?" Li You You was stunned for a moment, but in an instant, the other party was in front of her.

Then, he jumped up.

Stiff, she slowly raised her head and saw a ball accurately smashing towards her head.

Just as it was about to hit with a 'bang,' Chen Yuan grabbed the ball with one hand, and before landing, casually patted it back.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the basketball was sent flying.

And Chen Yuan also landed on his feet, standing next to her.

Because he couldn't adjust his posture when landing, his arm pressed on Li You You's shoulder, but he quickly supported her arm, so he didn't put all his weight on her.

"Are you okay?" Chen Yuan asked quickly, letting go of her hand.

"…" The stiff Li You You honestly shook her head, saying weakly, "I'm, I'm okay."

"Thank you, Yuan Shen!"

"Brother, you saved us."

"That was too close, I almost got hit."

Soon, several boys came over and apologized to him.

"It's okay," Chen Yuan shook his head with a smile, being friendly.

"Then, Yuan Shen, do you want to play together?" One of the boys asked proactively.

"No, I'm going home."

Chen Yuan waved to them, then waved to Li You You, and left directly.

Not a single word was about boasting.

He didn't seem to think that he had saved her at that moment.

He also didn't care whether he had gained her favor…

She was just like the girl who was going to confess, unilaterally thinking that she had encountered a page of youth.

But the boy of her youth…

Had his own girl.

Ugh, he flirted with Li You You again, which was really wrong.

But if she hadn't talked to him, she wouldn't have been hit by that ball, so his batting the ball away shouldn't be considered 'flirting without marrying,' right?

It definitely shouldn't be considered that.

If Li You You-chan had to like me even more, then I couldn't help it.

As long as she didn't forcibly NTR, he could accept it.

Forget it, he should go find that little crippled sparrow now.

Since he didn't know anything, the best way would be to block her at the school gate.

Wait, why did that sound like bullying…

And so, Chen Yuan stood outside the school gate, in a conspicuous position, under the street lamp.

Waiting for her to appear.

While waiting, he took out his phone and looked at today's chat history.

Xin Yu's reaction let him know that he had done the right thing today.

In the past, he might have hidden it, after all, he was worried that Yu Zi would overthink it. But now, after being in contact for so long, he had long known what kind of person Yu Zi was.

Rather than the jealousy and unease after knowing, she was more worried about the false peace of total ignorance.

Indeed.

Like those stupid misunderstanding scenes in some TV dramas, the male lead went to see female three for no reason, and it just so happened that she didn't know if her blood was thick or what, but her body suddenly tilted, and he went to help her, and then the female lead just happened to see it, and saw the two of them kissing in a distorted perspective…

In order to avoid this kind of idiotic plot, the best way was to declare it in advance.

Even if Yu Zi ran into him with the little crippled sparrow, even if the two looked like they were kissing in a distorted perspective, because he had told her in advance, even if she felt strange, she would move to the front and then realize that it wasn't a kiss, but that he had sand in his eye and the little sparrow was helping him blow it out… where did this little tea second generation come from!

But when was this guy coming?

Couldn't she be a little faster?

"Senior!"

Just then, a voice came over.

Chen Yuan looked over and saw a girl with poor legs, walking with a limp, coming towards him, trying to speed up as much as possible.

Ah no, you can slow down a little!

"I'm sorry, I kept you wai—"

Before the girl could finish speaking, she tripped and fell to the ground, falling flat on her face.

"…" Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward, just about to pull her up when the girl quickly got up on her own, patted the dust off her body, and said with red cheeks, "It hurt quite a bit when I fell, my face even turned red…"

Is your face red from the fall?

Although this child's legs were bad, her mouth was really tough.

"Senior, I'm sorry, I'm too stupid, I didn't leave any information, making you wait for so long in vain," the girl said sincerely.

"No, I just got here," Chen Yuan replied.

"Then…" The girl pursed her lips, thought for a moment, then hesitantly raised her head and looked at this senior whose expression suddenly didn't seem so sunny, but a little aloof, and asked, "Senior, how do you see me?"

"…Pretty good, a very polite junior."

"You're only complimenting me on my politeness because you can't find anything else to praise, right…" the girl complained a little awkwardly, "Besides, I haven't done anything polite, have I?"

"Isn't giving such a big bow polite enough?"

"…"

The girl was silent for a while, then started to size up the senior again.

She felt that he didn't seem as heartwarming as the Chen Yuan she had seen that day.

But, she had already come here.

The arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

So, the girl with long, slender pigtails, a quiet and cute face, and dimples mustered her courage and said, "Senior, I've always admired you, I'm your fan, so I wanted to ask, the girl who sang with you that day, not *Juan Zhu Lian*, but *All are Love*…"

"Is my girlfriend."

"…"

The air froze on the spot.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan looked at the girl who was frozen and unable to continue her spell after being interrupted, and asked in confusion.

"…Okay, I see."

The girl lowered her head, feeling a little sad, but after forcing a smile, she raised her head and said, "I was thinking that if Senior didn't have a girlfriend, would you be able to be with someone like me…"

"Don't use that kind of wording," Chen Yuan shook his head, correcting her, "You're pretty good, you're good in all aspects, but I have a girlfriend."

"Thank you, Senior, although I wouldn't say something like 'If you didn't have a girlfriend, would you choose someone like me', which is so tea-like."

As if being encouraged by Chen Yuan, the girl said cheerfully, "I still want to know, although I have a little problem, I'm still a good girl, right?"

"Yeah, have confidence," Chen Yuan said reassuringly, "I have a sister whose legs are much more serious than yours, but she always calls herself an invincible beautiful girl."

"Haha, I know my own limits after all…"

The girl scratched the back of her head, then prepared to leave, but before saying a final goodbye, she saw a few of her classmates!

So, blushing, she quickly turned around and walked away quickly.

Then, because her heart was too chaotic and she was too nervous about her first confession, her feet tripped over each other again, and she was about to fall flat on her face.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan grabbed her arm directly and pulled her up.

I had reason to suspect that her legs became like this from her own falls!

However, just as he pulled the girl up, standing in front of them was a stunned Xia Xin Yu.

The air froze again.

Damn it.

I've encountered the stupid writer of my life.

But luckily, I had told Xin Yu beforehand that a girl was confessing to me.

If I had really hidden it like they said, then it really couldn't be explained…

"This, is my girlfriend," Chen Yuan introduced to the girl, letting go of her hand.

"No, it's not…" The girl waved her hands quickly, wanting to explain.

Just as she was about to say something, a girl suddenly stood in front of the two of them.

It was Li You You.

Because she cared about the ending of another secret admirer, she had followed.

Then, she encountered this kind of thing.

It was her suggestion that Chen Yuan not say it, so if there was a misunderstanding at this moment, it was her responsibility. Although a crack in their love would benefit secret admirers like herself, she still didn't want to be so despicable.

So, she explained clearly that Chen Yuan had come to reject this girl.

And that girl, although a little embarrassed, also explained clearly that she would fall because of her poor legs.

Then, the girl also left.

The way she limped showed everything.

In the end, only the three of them were left.

However, a true secret admirer was sitting behind him, and Chen Yuan really couldn't think of what kind of development would happen next.

Just then, Li You You suddenly faced Xia Xin Yu and said, "Xia Xin Yu, I like your boyfriend."

"…"

Chen Yuan and Xia Xin Yu were frozen on the spot.

And the security guard, who had watched all these scenes from the guard room, drank his wolfberry tea from his thermos and shook his head in admiration.

Wonderful, wonderful.

"But, I'm not saying this to provoke you."

Li You You had already burned her boats, so she wouldn't stop here. So she continued, "I've had a secret crush on him for a long time, always…always."

"Oh, is that so."

Xia Xin Yu replied a little helplessly, then looked at Chen Yuan next to her, not knowing what to do specifically.

"I might have thought a little darkly before…"

Li You You lowered her head, saying honestly, "I was thinking that if there were problems in your relationship and you broke up, then I could comfort Chen Yuan…and then, I might have a chance to become his girlfriend."

"Of course, I was wrong."

"It doesn't seem like you're going to break up, and even if you did break up under extremely small probability, Chen Yuan wouldn't like me…"

Li You You raised her head, looking at the two of them a little embarrassed, and after saying all this, she said forcefully, "I give up, I accept it. So, even if there is this good opportunity for your relationship to break down, I don't want it. Because from the perspective of a secret admirer, I suggest Chen Yuan not tell you about this…so please don't misunderstand, he is innocent with that girl at school, he is innocent with Zhou Fu, he is innocent with Tang Si Wen…he is innocent."

Li You You, why did you pause at Tang Si Wen?

"With me, it's naturally innocent to the extreme."

Saying this, Li You You's eyes suddenly flickered with tears, but she still continued, "So please don't blame him, he didn't…didn't…"

Why does her heart hurt so much?

Hadn't she already accepted the fact that she could never be worthy of Chen Yuan?

At this time, Xia Xin Yu walked up to Li You You.

Then, she took out a tissue and wiped away the other person's tears.

It was also because of this action that she couldn't stop her tears, squatted down, and cried.

Then, Xin Yu comforted her next to her while gently patting her back, afraid that she would choke.

After a while, she finally stopped crying and her mood also calmed down.

Li You You, who was said something by Xia Xin Yu, walked up to Chen Yuan, brewed for a long time, and said: "In short, I like you, especially like you. I think you are tall, handsome, caring, and humorous."

Yu Zi, did you agree with her to say this?

"You may not know, but just you said a word to me, I will have a good mood for a day."

Speaking of which, Li You You showed a naive smile.

Then, after greeting Chen Yuan and Chen Yuan's girlfriend, she returned to school…

"She said, can I confess to your boyfriend? I said yes, go ahead."

Xia Xin Yu looked at Chen Yuan and explained.

"Oh, is that so."

Chen Yuan suddenly felt that Saint Xin Yu was not just a nickname for fun, this guy was really a bit holy.

"Seeing Li You You and that girl, I finally understood a truth," Xia Xin Yu said suddenly.

"What truth?"

"Regardless of whether I exist, or in what order the two of them had come, you won't be with them."

Looking at Li You You's gradually disappearing back, Xia Xin Yu held Chen Yuan's hand, interlocking her fingers with his, and smiled confidently, which was rare: "Chen Yuan is destined to belong to Xia Xin Yu."
