Chapter 119 Becoming Her Support
Lu Yuan and the others were merely punished by cleaning the school; they received no demerits or public criticism. This could be considered a way for the school leaders to indirectly express their "congratulations."
After all, the school leaders aren't heartless people. As long as Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian can maintain their good grades and not let it affect their studies, this matter isn't considered a big mistake.
With Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian's high-profile official announcement, the campus topic of "who Lu Yuan actually likes" has finally come to an end.
However, while this event appears to be a sweet ending for the two, there are still undercurrents beneath the surface, and many people hold differing opinions.
Who exactly it is will be revealed later.
In short, the situation at the school has finally returned to normal.
Once the gossip died down, the senior high school students plunged back into the intense and exciting torrent of review.
During this time, Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian were finally able to sit together and discuss problems openly. Occasionally, when others weren't looking, they would even touch hands or hug shoulders affectionately, adding a touch of sweetness to their boring and tedious study life.
Ye Yixian has become visibly more confident, and many more classmates are willing to be her friends.
In addition, Lu's mother continued to bring nutritious meals to the school during this period, which made Ye Yixian gain a little weight, with a rosy complexion, and look even more beautiful.
When Lu's mother learned that her son was dating Ye Yixian, she was overjoyed. Not only was her son's academic performance promising, but he had also found love. It was truly a double blessing.
Ye Yixian naturally liked Lu Ma very much.
For her, who lacked maternal love since childhood, having such meticulous care from Lu's mother made her feel happier and more blessed than ever before.
The third mock exam is here again in the blink of an eye.
The process is as usual; this is the crucial moment to test everyone's final review results.
In this exam, Lu Yuan once again achieved a perfect score in English, but Xia Anqi also scored a perfect score, and the two tied for first place.
Lu Yuan finally broke through the bottleneck, reaching a total score of 665 points. Although Li Xian still narrowly won by 10 points, the feeling of being closely chased made him tense, sweat profusely, and anxious.
At the school-wide assembly held as usual, Xia Anqi once again won first place in the science category with a high score of 712.
But everyone could see that the unbridled, confident smile that she used to have was gone from her face.
He was as cold as ice, and even his post-exam remarks were just a few short, emotionless, polite words.
She didn't look at Lu Yuan once throughout the entire process, and even when they bumped into each other on the way during a break between classes, she simply ignored him.
It's easy to imagine that she hated Lu Yuan.
Fortunately, a devastating emotional setback did not destroy her studies; she remained a top student who stood out from the crowd.
After the third mock exam, there are only about ten days left until the college entrance examination.
During this period, everyone's opinions were surprisingly unified: relax, prepare for the college entrance examination, there is no need to carry out high-intensity review anymore, and appropriate relaxation is the right solution.
Lu Yuan finally had his first official date with Ye Yixian after confessing his feelings.
Before this, the two were mostly immersed in studying and reviewing, and had no time to focus on romance.
They can date, but dating isn't the main theme of life, so they both know what to do at what time.
Ye Yixian also achieved a very good score in this mock exam, scoring 592 points.
This score is already very high for her. Even if she can't get into the same university as Lu Yuan in the future, at least she can go to the same city.
As long as you live in the same city, you won't suffer the torment of a long-distance relationship.
This date could only take place on campus. In such a large school, there's always a quiet corner perfect for couples to flirt.
The two walked hand in hand on a secluded path. Although they had publicly announced their relationship, they still couldn't help feeling a little nervous, especially Ye Yixian.
The two walked side by side, unsure of what to say.
It's not that I have nothing to say, but rather that I have so much to say, yet I don't know where to begin.
Lu Yuan deeply realized that the feeling of being in love with Ye Yixian was completely different from when he was with Xu Lingjing in his previous life.
At that time, he hadn't really been in a relationship with Xu Lingjing. It was just that Xu Lingjing got tired of playing around and wanted to find someone honest and reliable to rely on, so she had no choice but to choose Lu Yuan.
They were officially dating for three months, but in reality, it was just a formality; there was no real progress whatsoever.
Holding hands, going on dates, watching movies, kissing—none of these happened. Even after marriage, Xu Lingjing's attempts at these things seemed forced and extremely perfunctory.
Back then, Lu Yuan naively thought that Xu Lingjing's persona was that of a cold and aloof goddess, and that she was indifferent to these things. But now he understands that in front of someone you truly like, no matter the gender, you can't be cold and aloof.
Ye Yixian was just like that. In front of Lu Yuan, she would be shy and bashful, but she would never refuse him.
When the atmosphere is just right, she will take the initiative to lean in and kiss Lu Yuan to express her overflowing love.
This love was somewhat naive, yet incredibly pure and beautiful.
Lu Yuan felt that this might be one of the meanings of his rebirth: to experience this innocent and sincere love with someone worthy, instead of giving unilaterally like in his previous life, forcing himself to be together, and ending up with a mess and heartbreak.
Finally, the two stopped by a flower bed and sat down side by side.
Ye Yixian held Lu Yuan's hand tightly, as if she didn't want to let go at all.
She asked softly, "Lu Yuan, we'll be together forever, right?"
Lu Yuan looked puzzled: "Why would you have such a question? Do you think I'll break up with you, or are you going to break up with me?"
"No, no." Ye Yixian shook her head frantically in denial, then lowered her eyes in disappointment. "I'm just scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid we... will end up like my parents."
"Your parents..." Lu Yuan instantly understood the fear in Ye Yixian's heart.
She was born into a broken home, and the shadow cast by her family of origin plunged her into a deep fear.
Having witnessed devastation firsthand, I fear repeating the same mistakes.
Perhaps this explains why Ye Yixian, whom Lu Yuan met in his previous life, was still unmarried at that age—because she could never meet a man with whom she could open her heart and face the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan raised his hand and gently stroked Ye Yixian's cheek.
Ye Yixian tilted her head slightly, looking aggrieved, trying to immerse herself completely in the warmth of Lu Yuan's palm.
Lu Yuan said gently but firmly, "Yi Xian, remember, as long as I'm here, everything will be alright from now on."
Lu Yuan's words were simple, yet they were full of reassuring power.
Ye Yixian's eyes were red, and tears slid into Lu Yuan's palm, the scalding heat of which was palpable.
She nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with dependence on Lu Yuan. From this day forward, she truly gave herself completely to Lu Yuan, and regardless of the unknown future, she would remain steadfast.
Ye Yixian kissed Lu Yuan's lips again.
This time, Lu Yuan regained the initiative and responded to the kiss with greater familiarity and affection, almost melting the girl's fluttering heart at that moment.
What the two didn't notice was that in the shadows not far away, Xu Lingjing was watching their loving and sweet scene, burning with jealousy.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Ye Yixian, I'll make you pay. I'll let you know that taking what belongs to me will never end well."
