Chapter 118 We're not done yet.
Ye Yixian's kiss carried a sense of resolute determination.
She didn't want to continue being a coward who hesitated in love.
She wants to love!
I want to be with Lu Yuan forever.
Because Lu Yuan was the only ray of light in her otherwise bleak and tragic life.
Since they met, Lu Yuan has not only learned to protect her sensitive self-esteem, but also how to give her a better life.
His kindness was never a condescending act of charity, but rather an absolute respect from the bottom of his heart.
This gentleness, permeating from the inside out and from the outside in, finally allowed the seed hidden deep within Ye Yixian's heart to sprout and take root.
Because this seedling named "love" has grown, she must not lose the sunlight, and she cannot leave Lu Yuan, this warm sun that can penetrate all the gloom and reach the depths of her soul.
At the same time, this is also a means for her to assert her sovereignty.
During this period, Xia Anqi really took advantage of people's kindness, which made Ye Yixian, who was already suppressing his rebellious emotions, finally lose his patience.
If this matter had nothing to do with Lu Yuan, Ye Yixian could have struck much earlier and more ruthlessly, regardless of whether she was the top student in the grade or the school beauty that everyone admired.
This kiss left Xia Anqi dumbfounded and completely at a loss.
She always boasted about how proactive she was and how much she liked Lu Yuan, but she definitely didn't have Ye Yixian's do-or-die courage to give Lu Yuan a kiss in front of everyone.
In this silent contest, Ye Yixian was undoubtedly the one who turned defeat into victory, while Xia Anqi was stopped there, deeply shocked.
Lu Yuan, who was involved, did not expect Ye Yixian to be so proactive.
As a man who was already forty years old at heart, he was now somewhat infatuated by the kiss, and even felt a long-lost shyness and awkwardness.
He even forgot to enjoy the kiss, simply accepting Ye Yixian's clumsy kiss with surprise.
It was obvious that this was Ye Yixian's first time as well, and all his skills came from instinct, making him seem awkward yet incredibly sincere.
Fortunately, the effect was excellent.
Amidst deafening gasps and applause from the onlookers, the grand declaration of love was declared a success.
After a long while, Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian finally separated, gazing deeply into each other's eyes, their breathing slightly heavy.
Finally, Lu Yuan smiled happily and asked softly, "So, you've agreed to be my girlfriend?"
"I can't think of any reason to refuse," Ye Yixian nodded heavily.
Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang...
Fireworks burst forth, their vibrant colors enveloping the entire playground, and thunderous applause once again resounded throughout the campus.
Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian stood in the giant heart, oblivious to everyone else, holding each other's hands tightly.
until……
"Arrest them all! Don't let a single one escape!"
The school leader's authoritative roar shattered this warm and romantic atmosphere.
……
As night deepened, Lu Yuan, Gao Zhe, Ye Yixian, and more than twenty others were cleaning the playground, while a group of school leaders stood nearby, staring at them with angry expressions.
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!" Zhang Dabiao paced back and forth beside Lu Yuan, hands behind his back, and angrily shouted, "What do you think this school is? Is this a place for you to date? And you've made a complete mess of the playground!"
"Tonight, all of you must clean this place spotless, not a single scrap of paper can be left behind! If I find it's not clean enough, you'll all get a major demerit!"
Despite Zhang Dabiao's constant scolding, no one felt anything was scary.
After all, he kept emphasizing hygiene and didn't really intend to impose harsh punishments.
Lu Yuan had previously made an agreement with Zhang Dabiao that no matter what he did, as long as it made Xia Anqi give up, he would not hold it against her.
Zhang Dabiao certainly kept his word, but in front of the principal and other high-ranking leaders, he had to put on a show and reprimand Lu Yuan and the others.
The school leaders didn't say much, since the situation was still under control and almost all the students were involved, so they couldn't punish them all.
Arrest a few ringleaders and punish them as a warning to others; the main point is to uphold the principle that the law does not punish the masses.
Taking advantage of the school leaders' inattention, Zhang Dabiao finally lowered his voice and secretly asked Lu Yuan, "So, the solution you're talking about is to confess to another girl, right?"
"Yeah." Lu Yuan smiled, his gaze involuntarily drifting to a spot not far away, where Ye Yixian was squatting on the ground with Wang Qingyu and a few other girls, diligently picking up scraps of paper.
Whether by coincidence or telepathy, Ye Yixian happened to look over as well.
When their eyes met, Ye Yixian did not shy away as before, but smiled sweetly at Lu Yuan, her face full of happiness.
Now, she is Lu Yuan's official girlfriend.
Perhaps it's a bit early to establish a romantic relationship at this stage, but if you don't do it, the two of you will definitely still be trapped in the confusion of unrequited love, and you will never have peace of mind.
That's probably how life is. Some things don't require you to be fully prepared before you start. Sometimes, you have to be impulsive, and you might reap unexpected surprises.
Lu Yuan returned Ye Yixian's sweet smile, proving that the choices he made after his rebirth were not wrong.
"What are you doing, kid?" Zhang Dabiao slapped Lu Yuan on the head, pulling him back from his reverie.
Lu Yuan touched his nose and said seriously, "Xia Anqi's biggest weakness is her arrogance; she can't accept failure. In matters of the heart, she has never experienced setbacks, or rather, she has never experienced the test of love. Everything is too taken for granted, which has fostered her self-centered personality."
"Tonight's confession is partly driven by my own selfish desires, but also a form of retaliation and a lesson for Xia Anqi. She needs a defeat, a defeat that will shake her soul, to teach her that life is not a given, and that often, sincerity is more important than trickery."
Lu Yuan spoke eloquently, but Zhang Dabiao was still perplexed. He sighed and said, "I just don't know if Xia Anqi can accept such a defeat."
……
Xia Anqi was in tears.
She wasn't directly involved and wasn't punished by having to clean up, but she stood by the railing of the teaching building, watching Lu Yuan and the others happily accept their punishment.
In pursuing Lu Yuan, she lost completely and wholeheartedly.
However, this did not stop her from crying.
She felt she had lost a lot that night, her eyes fixed on Lu Yuan on the playground, like a hunting lioness locking onto a tempting target.
"Angie!"
Zhang Xueling pretended to be passing by unintentionally and cautiously came over to say hello.
Xia Anqi wiped away her tears, turned her head and looked coldly at Zhang Xueling, "What? Are you here to laugh at me? I pursued Lu Yuan so openly, and in the end, I'm not even as good as Ye Yixian. Am I funny?"
"No, no, no, no. I wasn't mocking you." Zhang Xueling raised her hands in surrender, afraid of angering Xia Anqi. "I just wanted to comfort you and hope that this wouldn't affect your subsequent review and college entrance examination."
Zhang Xueling kept Lu Yuan's instructions in mind and comforted Xia Anqi appropriately, letting her know that she was not uncared for.
Xia Anqi scoffed, "Don't worry about it. No matter what I do, it won't affect my college entrance exam."
Xia Anqi remained confident; her abilities were undeniable, and she was undoubtedly the person with the best chance of getting into Tsinghua or Peking University.
But this didn't calm her down or allow her to completely let go. Staring in the direction of Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! Lu Yuan, Ye Yixian, this isn't over yet. Ten years, twenty years, I'll fight you to the very end."
With that, she flung her hand away and stormed off.
