After returning to the dormitory, Jian Yue's mood was as if shrouded by dark clouds, heavy and depressed.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, looking ahead with empty eyes.

Zeyuan, if we can be together.

These troubles shouldn't exist!

Just as I was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door.

Then Yu Jialing's cheerful voice came in: "Jian Yue, are you back?"

Jian Yue sighed silently and got up to open the door.

Without waiting for her response, Yu Jialing pushed the door open.

He skipped over to Jian Yue with a fake smile on his face.

"Can you help me make an appointment with Zhuang Mingdong? I have a lot to say to him."

Jian Yue frowned slightly, feeling a surge of anger.

He took a deep breath and tried to sound calmer.

"No, Jialing, I won't help you make an appointment with him."

Yu Jialing was stunned and looked at Jian Yue in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"Why? Didn't you help me before? Jian Yue, please help me again."

Jian Yue stood up irritably, walked to the window, turned her back to Yu Jialing and said, "I don't want to get involved in your affairs anymore. I'm really tired."

I don't want to be involved in this complicated and confusing situation anymore.

Yu Jialing looked at Jian Yue's back, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? You weren't like this before. Did something happen?"

Jian Yue did not answer, but remained silent.

I don’t want to explain anything to Yu Jialing now, and I don’t know how to explain it.

Yu Jialing kept talking, trying to persuade her.

But Jian Yue just shook her head, then climbed onto the bed and pulled the quilt over herself.

"Jia Ling, I really want to sleep, please go."

Yu Jialing stomped her feet angrily, "Humph, you've changed. You don't even help me anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away angrily, slamming the door heavily.

Jian Yue locked the door with her backhand.

The dormitory became quiet, and I lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

It felt like there was a fire burning in my heart, making me extremely irritable.

I kept asking myself, why should I get involved in their affairs?

It obviously has nothing to do with me, so why should I be bothered by these troubles?

After leaving the dormitory angrily, Yu Jialing went straight to a bar near the school.

The lights in the bar were dim and the music was blaring.

I found a seat in the corner and ordered glass of wine.

Drinking alone, his eyes were a little blurry. Every sip of wine seemed to be swallowing down the frustration and unwillingness in his heart.

The noisy crowd around her seemed just blurry shadows in her eyes, and her mind kept thinking about recent events.

From her initial attraction to Zhuang Mingdong to the desperate measures she took on his birthday.

And now to Jian Yue's rejection, every scene hurt her heart like a needle.

"Why? Why did things turn out like this?" Yu Jialing murmured to herself.

She held the wine glass in her hand even tighter.

Thinking of Zhuang Mingdong's angry eyes, that look was like a knife, cutting her fantasy into pieces.

And Jian Yue, her former good sister, now stands against her.

Am I really going to give up on Zhuang Mingdong?

I have given so much for him, how can I give up so easily?

And Jian Yue, why is she unwilling to help me?

Aren't we friends? Is it because of her so-called moral values?

Humph, she is just jealous of me, jealous of my love for Zhuang Mingdong.

A bitter smile appeared on Yu Jialing's lips, and she poured herself another glass of wine.

I feel like I am the most pitiful person in the world. I do everything for love, but I don't get anyone's understanding.

The alcohol spread through her body, making her emotions even more extreme.

He began to resent Jian Yue, thinking that she had ruined his plans.

If it weren't for Jian Yue, Zhuang Mingdong might have accepted me.

It’s all her fault. She’s always causing trouble.

Yu Jialing's eyes became fierce and she slammed the wine glass on the table.

The sound of breaking glass was not noticeable in the noisy bar, but it was like a signal of her inner collapse.

People around her looked at her strangely, but Yu Jialing didn't care at all.

He stood up and walked out of the bar with a slightly unsteady step.

In the next half month, Jian Yue's life pressed the slow play button and fell into a strange calm.

Early in the morning, Jian Yue, carrying her schoolbag, hurried towards the classroom.

Her figure shuttled through the light and shadow, surrounded by the laughter of her classmates and the chirping of birds, but she seemed to be isolated in another world by a layer of transparent glass.

During class, he seemed to be staring at the blackboard intently, and the pen in his hand kept taking notes.

During breaks, I would chat briefly with my classmates, but my words lacked the enthusiasm of the past and were more of perfunctory responses.

Then, I would walk alone to my next destination - the dormitory.

The cafeteria is always filled with the aroma of food and the noisy voices of people.

Jian Yue was carrying a tray and looking for an empty seat in the crowd.

The construction site was another place that gave her complicated feelings.

There was dust flying everywhere, and the roar of machines and the shouts of workers were intertwined.

Jian Yue was wearing a safety helmet and busy at the construction site.

Carefully checking the construction progress and quality, and communicating with the workers.

Behind this seemingly peaceful daily life, a sense of uneasiness is quietly spreading like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

One day, Jian Yue was about to go to the library with a book in her arms.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her.

"Jian Yue."

Jian Yue's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw Zhuang Mingdong standing not far away.

Wearing a simple white shirt, the sunlight shone on him, outlining his tall figure, and that familiar face had a hint of a smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Jian Yue raised her eyebrows, "Well, long time no see."

Zhuang Mingdong took a few steps forward and said, "I'd like to invite you to dinner. Would you do me the honor?"

Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhuang Mingdong's sincere eyes, and nodded hesitantly.

"Okay."

Along the way, both of them were silent, each with complicated feelings.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we chose a quiet corner to sit down.

Jian Yue took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look at Zhuang Mingdong with sincerity in her eyes.

"Zhuang Mingdong, I want to formally apologize to you. I feel that I handled the previous events very badly, which got you into trouble and made you misunderstand that I was taking advantage of you. I'm really not that kind of person, but the situation was too complicated at the time and I was a little overwhelmed."

Zhuang Mingdong looked at Jian Yue with a gentle smile on his face. "Actually, I also know that you have your difficulties. I have thought a lot about this during this period. I don't blame you, and I also have some shortcomings."

Jian Yue shook her head slightly, "No, I have more problems. I hope we can put these unpleasant things aside and just be friends in the future."
