Don't think of rebirth.

Yao Huarong was sitting in the car on the way home, and Gu Qinghuan's words just now seemed to still echo in her ears.

She didn't want to recall it, but the voice in her head kept repeating it over and over again.

Every word Gu Qinghuan said was like a chisel, hammering at her heart.

She always thought that she was not worthy and that she had no advantages that could compare to Lu Chi, but was it really so?

Is she really useless, or does she think too highly of Lu Chi?

Yao Huarong couldn't think about it carefully. She could only sit in the back seat blankly, looking at the scene outside the window with empty eyes.

Because she had to talk with Yuan Wuwei, Yao Huarong did not attend today's club activities. She was not sure when the conversation would end, so she told Lu Chi that he didn't need to wait for her or send her home today.

Yao Huarong thought of the sentence "You don't lack this kindness" again. She now thought of how to refute it - why don't you lack it? This kindness allows her to see the person she likes more often, which is good for her!

But, could she really say this in front of Gu Qinghuan?

Yao Huarong did not have such confidence. She could imagine how Gu Qinghuan would ask her in return - did this "benefit" really make her happy?

No, whenever she stood in front of Lu Chi, she always seemed to be troubled by negative emotions such as inferiority, and was always unhappy and felt very sad.

Yao Huarong's nose felt sore. She turned her head, leaned against the car window, and closed her eyes to stop the tears from coming out.

After returning home, Yao Huarong tried her best to act calm and greeted her mother Yao Ruyue: "I'm back."

Yao Ruyue was sitting on the sofa, watching the interview on her tablet. When she heard Yao Huarong's voice, she paused the conversation and stood up, saying, "Rongrong is back? Your dad is not at home tonight, so I asked Auntie to make something simple..."

Before she finished her words, Yao Ruyue saw Yao Huarong's face and immediately stopped talking.

Being stared at by her mother, Yao Huarong felt a little guilty and her voice became weaker: "Mom?"

"Have you cried?" Yao Ruyue walked over quickly, holding Yao Huarong's face, frowning, "Who bullied you?"

When it came to the second half of the sentence, Yao Ruyue's tone had become quite serious.

Yao Huarong shook her head in panic: "No, no one bullied me!"

"Could it be that kid Lu Chi?" Yao Ruyue frowned even more tightly.

Yao Huarong was stunned, and asked hesitantly: "Mom, you..." She paused, and finally continued, "Do you think Lu Chi will bully me?"

"He's not going to bully you, he's just not being nice to you!" After hearing what Yao Huarong said, Yao Ruyue felt a little more relaxed. It seemed that her daughter was not being bullied.

She put down her hand and said earnestly, "Although we watched Lu Chi grow up, his father ignored him since he was a child. We came back to find him when we had no hope, and he actually followed his father."

"Whatever his reasons are, we've been with him for so many years, can't he tell us?"

"This child is really good at hiding things, and you are foolishly hanging on him. He will get hurt too easily."

Yao Huarong was a little stunned: "Mom, why didn't you tell me this before?"

Yao Ruyue poked her forehead in dismay: "It's because you like him so much that you won't listen to me or your father if I say anything bad about him!"

If Yao Huarong hadn't brought up the topic today, Yao Ruyue would not have dared to say anything, for fear of making her daughter angry and run back to her room.

Yao Huarong was pulled by Yao Ruyue to sit on the sofa. She didn't even have time to eat dinner and wanted to make things clear first.

She was too embarrassed to say that she had posted a message to frame Yuan Wuwei, and could only vaguely say that she met two senior schoolmates who advised her to face reality.

After listening to this, Yao Ruyue just wanted to applaud Yuan Wuwei and Gu Qinghuan.

She and the child's father had a lot of headaches because of the matter between Yao Huarong and Lu Chi.

Although from the perspective of an experienced person, Lu Chi's feelings for Yao Huarong should not be fake, but young people always have various shortcomings in relationships. The two are very worried that Yao Huarong will suffer because of this immaturity.

But Yao Huarong was very stubborn. She had decided on Lu Chi and refused to change her mind. Yao Ruyue had been trying to find a solution for her daughter's love problem, but with little success.

Now it seems that what peers say is more useful than what elders say.

Looking at the unhappy Yao Huarong, Yao Ruyue sighed in her heart, put her arms around her daughter, and said softly, "Rongrong, you should understand that those two seniors are not deliberately trying to sow discord between you and Xiaolu."

Yao Huarong nodded silently, and Yao Ruyue continued: "Mom hopes that you can take this opportunity to think carefully about what you should do next, okay?"

In fact, she really wanted Yao Huarong to take the initiative to find the two seniors, but thinking about her daughter's personality, she probably wouldn't be able to bring herself to do it in a short period of time, so it was better to let nature take its course.

Since her mother had said so, Yao Huarong could only say dryly, "I know."

Yao Ruyue secretly decided to observe her daughter's condition carefully during this period of time, and said with a cheerful smile: "Okay, let's have dinner now!"

She took Yao Huarong's hand and stood up, walked to the dining table and sat down. She felt that today's dinner tasted much more delicious.

Yao Huarong did not rest well that night. Even in her dreams, she seemed to be echoing with Gu Qinghuan's questions and Yuan Wuwei's scolding of her.

No, it seems a bit too much to describe it as “condemn”.

No matter how tough Yuan Wuwei acted, Yao Huarong could feel that Yuan Wuwei cared about her very much, could see her strengths, and was sincerely thinking about her.

Because she didn’t sleep well, Yao Huarong woke up the next morning and her mind was still a little unclear until she went out.

When the car was halfway on the road, Yao Huarong's cell phone rang.

Yao Huarong narrowed her eyes and pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

A familiar voice came from the receiver, which was enough to wake her up instantly: "Why didn't you wait for me this morning?"

It's Lu Chi! Yao Huarong opened her eyes wide, and realized belatedly that she didn't wait for Lu Chi to pick her up this morning!

She stammered, "I, I got up early this morning and went out directly after eating. I didn't wait for you. I'm sorry..."

The more Yao Huarong said the word "I'm sorry", the lower her voice became.

She always seemed to apologize in front of Lu Chi, as if she had made some terrible mistake, and felt guilty, self-blaming, and uneasy about it, and then tried to find ways to make up for it.

But is this really a good thing? Just like Yuan Wuwei said, is she too harsh on herself?

While she was silent, Lu Chi sighed: "Forget it, go to school by yourself, I'll come later."

Yao Huarong responded timidly, and after hanging up the phone, she was still a little absent-minded.

It was not until the driver called her twice that she came to her senses and realized that they had arrived at the school gate, so she got off the car quickly.

Before she even reached the school gate, she heard a loud and powerful shout: "Yao! Hua! Rong!"

Yao Huarong was frightened and turned around to see Yuan Wuwei running towards her like a charging bull.

Compared to her weak spirit, Yuan Wuwei's spirit is good enough to accompany Beagle to chase rabbits.

Although she didn't know what Yuan Wuwei was trying to do, Yao Huarong also had the urge to run away.

The problem was that she couldn't outrun Yuan Wuwei at all. In other words, before she even turned around, Yuan Wuwei had already run in front of her, looking at her with sharp eyes.

"Good morning, senior," Yao Huarong greeted dryly, "What can I do for you?"

"You ran away yesterday," Yuan Wuwei stared at her straightly, "so the conversation was forced to end."

Yao Huarong wanted to run away even more. She subconsciously wanted to apologize again, but Yuan Wuwei spoke first: "I think your problem is very serious - I want to help you solve it."

"So, I will stay with you during this time and make you realize how great you are!"
