Chapter 483: Saving the Jealous School Prince 38
"I really like you, and I really know that I was wrong before. Let's not break up, okay?" Xiang Chen looked at Wen Yang and said this with almost trembling lips.
The cold winter wind swept through the pavilion, bringing with it a chilling chill.
Wen Yang looked at Xiang Chen quietly. The man who had once filled her heart and eyes was now looking at her with a pleading expression, waiting for her affirmative answer.
She gave Xiang Chen a beautiful smile and declared calmly, "Xiang Chen, there's no chance for us."
Wen Yang's tone was flat, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiang Chen's heart hard, completely shattering the only remaining hope in his heart.
Wen Yang looked at Xiang Chen who was standing in a daze in front of him. Without any reluctance, he stood up and prepared to leave the pavilion on Lover's Hill.
Looking at Wen Yang's departure, Xiang Chen seemed to be suddenly touched by something. His body reacted instinctively. He rushed forward and blocked Wen Yang.
Wen Yang subconsciously frowned, took two steps back, and said coldly: "I think my attitude has been made very clear. I have said everything I need to say. I hope you will stop pestering me from now on."
Xiang Chen listened to Wen Yang's emotionless words, his eyes gradually filled with heartache and resentment. He spoke with difficulty: "Even if a student fails a course, he should have a chance to retake it. We've been together for nearly three years, and you have the heart to let go of me like this?"
Then he slowly raised his hand and held the letter in front of Wen Yang. "This is the letter you gave me when you graduated. Didn't you say in the letter that you were very grateful for me speaking up for you at school?"
"Didn't you say that I once redeemed you? Can't this make you forgive me this time?" Xiang Chen's hand holding the envelope trembled slightly, and his voice was almost choked at the end.
Because this is his last resort to keep Wen Yang.
However, Wen Yang did not directly answer Xiang Chen's question. Instead, he looked at the letter in Xiang Chen's hand and asked, "You just opened this letter recently, right?"
Hearing this, Xiang Chen's body shook violently, and he looked up at Wen Yang with a little shock.
Because just as Wen Yang guessed, when he received the letter, he did not open it immediately, and did not even look at it. He put it at the bottom of a box of old things from high school.
When he was in high school, he had received many similar letters, most of which were love letters from girls. They were filled with a lot of love words that he thought were pretentious and boring, and he was too lazy to read them carefully.
To him, such things were nothing more than embellishments of youthful vanity.
So later, when he received this letter from Wen Yang, he naturally treated it as one of those cookie-cutter love letters, and put it at the bottom of the box without any care, forgetting about it.
Until recently, when he was drinking with Zhou Minghao, he talked about the reason why Wen Yang once liked him.
He used to think that everyone who approached him was because of his family background or appearance, so he naturally subconsciously regarded Wen Yang as such a person.
But Zhou Minghao said that Wen Yang liked him because he had once inadvertently brought Wen Yang redemption.
So Wen Yang's love for him is pure and full of gratitude.
Xiang Chen had never imagined such a possibility before, so Zhou Minghao's guess was like a seed planted in his heart.
It was also for this reason that Xiang Chen remembered that Wen Yang once gave him an envelope that looked like a love letter, so he took out this long-lost letter from the bottom of the box.
If you want to know why one person likes another, love letters are the most intuitive thing. After all, in order to express love, people usually write down their feelings about liking someone in a love letter.
However, when Xiang Chen opened the letter that he had kept at the bottom of his box with trepidation, what he saw were not the sweet words he had expected.
At the beginning of the letter, Wen Yang expressed her gratitude to him in beautiful and neat handwriting, thanking him for speaking up for her in class and making her feel that she was no longer alone in the class.
When Xiang Chen saw the content, his fingers trembled slightly unconsciously. It was exactly as Zhou Minghao had guessed...
In the second half of the letter, Wen Yang wrote some of his own observations.
Wen Yang realized that he had not been being himself.
Because of his parents' admonitions, he has always maintained a good relationship with people in school and always responds to his teachers. Even if he encounters troublesome things that he doesn't want to do, he will agree to them with a smile.
He was like a manipulated puppet, performing mechanically on the stage set by his family and school.
But in fact, he doesn't want to. Sometimes he wants to rebel and refuse. Sometimes he wants to take off his hypocritical social mask and stop pretending.
But he can't.
In order to be a good student in the eyes of his parents and teachers, he must wear the mask well.
He has always longed for someone who can truly understand him and see the bitterness hidden under his daily comfort and peace.
Instead of just sticking to him based on his family background and appearance.
He had always longed for such a person, but he had never expected that this person had already appeared in his life... It was just that his arrogance made him realize it only now...
Wen Yang's letter to him did not contain a single sentimental love word until the very end.
At the end of the letter, there was only one line of beautifully written words: [I will accompany you to slowly find your true self.]
It was clearly just a plain sentence, but when Xiang Chen saw it, he felt like a sharp sword pierced his heart.
Seeing Xiang Chen standing there for a long time without saying anything, Wen Yang lost her patience. She glanced at the time and prepared to turn left and leave.
But as soon as Wen Yang made a move, Xiang Chen immediately took a step to the left, blocking Wen Yang's way out again. His figure seemed particularly stubborn in this cold environment.
Seeing Xiang Chen's repeated obstruction and entanglement, even Wen Yang, who had always been good-tempered, became a little annoyed at this moment, and his calm voice was also tinged with anger: "Xiang Chen, what do you want? I've made it very clear that there is no possibility between us. Your persistence will only make me hate you more."
Xiang Chen listened to Wen Yang's cold words, and a trace of hurt appeared in his eyes. He suddenly reached out and grabbed one of Wen Yang's arms. His fingers lightly rested on Wen Yang's sleeve, but it seemed as if he had used up all his strength to maintain this slight touch.
He trembled slightly, his voice filled with helplessness as he spoke: "Wen Yang, didn't you say that since I once redeemed you, you would accompany me to slowly rediscover myself?"
Listening to Xiang Chen's endless nagging, Wen Yang no longer had the heart to talk nonsense.
Just as she raised her eyes impatiently and prepared to break free from Xiang Chen, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her over Xiang Chen's shoulder...
