The daily life of a crazy female supporting character trying to redeem herself.

Qin Zhouyu led Liang Qing as they walked, with him half a step ahead of her.

Liang Qing gazed at his hand on her wrist, a strange feeling swirling in her heart.

They had already reached the grandstand of the horse farm, quite a distance from Li Yang and the others.

She should have told Qin Zhouyu to stop, she should have told him to let go of her hand, but for some reason she couldn't say anything at the moment.

Qin Zhouyu led her to the stands around the racecourse. They stopped in front of the railing of the fifth row of stands, where they could see the racecourse from their position.

The horse farm was brightly lit, and a few people were riding horses.

Compared to the brightly lit racecourse, the unlit stands appeared much dimmer, with only the light coming through from the racecourse allowing one to vaguely discern the surroundings.

There were only the two of them in the stands.

Qin Zhouyu released her hand, gripped the railing with both hands, and stared at the horse farm.

Liang Qing turned her gaze away from her wrist and looked up at Qin Zhouyu, who was standing to the side.

He seemed somewhat absent-minded, with a somber look between his brows and his lips pressed tightly together, as if he were struggling with something.

For nearly five minutes, the two remained silent.

During those five minutes, Qin Zhouyu was clearly trying very hard to calm himself down. He gripped the railing tightly, attempting to soothe his agitation and calm himself down.

He looked at the people riding horses in the racecourse, his thoughts drifting back to the day he and Liang Qing confirmed their relationship.

Ever since he returned that day to give Liang Qing the sheet music, Liang Qing had understood his feelings for her. However, with the college entrance examination approaching, they both temporarily put their feelings aside and focused on preparing for the exam.

During this time, Qin Zhouyu could sense that Liang Qing also had feelings for him, because she did not distance herself from him after learning of his feelings.

However, uncertainty always makes people feel anxious and uneasy.

So after they applied to the same university, Qin Zhouyu racked his brains to formally confess his feelings to Liang Qing.

The longer you think about it, the more solutions you come up with; and the more solutions you come up with, the more you feel that none of them are good enough.

Until one day, they went to the horse farm to ride horses.

Halfway through the race, Qin Zhouyu dismounted to buy drinks, while Liang Qing ran two more laps.

After he bought the drinks, he went to help her off the horse. As soon as he let go of her hand, he suddenly realized that Liang Qing had grasped his entire hand along his fingers.

His heart started pounding, and he felt his face burning.

He went to see Liang Qing, and Liang Qing was looking at him too.

Her face flushed slightly, and she said to him in a soft voice, "Do you understand?"

At that moment, he understood that Liang Qing had always loved him just as he loved her.

It turns out that mutual understanding isn't so complicated; just her holding his hand was enough to make him overjoyed.

From that day on, he never doubted Liang Qing's love for him.

Despite the changes that followed, including a drastic personality shift, she still loved him, and she would always choose him over everyone else.

He has always believed this.

It wasn't until that day at the ice rink, when she chose Song Zhiji in the moment they were both in danger, that he realized Liang Qing no longer loved him.

After what happened, he could no longer deceive himself with the old excuse that they were just arguing and that they would make up after Liang Qing calmed down.

As he lay in his hospital bed, he began to recall everything that had happened since Liang Qing's day at the stadium.

It seems that from that day on, she stopped coming to see him.

Indeed, a few days before that, she had told him the harsh words that she never wanted to see him again.

But she had said these things before, and often after she said them, they would fall into a cold war.

However, as long as he goes to see her after a while, or she comes to see him, the matter will be resolved.

This happened several times in a row, almost becoming a habit between them.

Therefore, in his view, what Liang Qing said to him that time was just an angry outburst, just like before.

But now that I think about it, maybe what she said that day was true; she really didn't want to see him again.

Because she really didn't want to see him, that's why she seemed so resistant when he came to see her, and even forgot what she had said before.

At first, he was really unwilling to accept it.

After his injury, he wanted to go to Liang Qing several times to ask her why she chose Song Zhiji and gave him up.

But he didn't go.

When he finally decided to go out and find her to get to the bottom of things, he saw Kang Ruoxi in the garden, and a sentence that Liang Qing had once said suddenly popped into his mind.

"Seeing you causes me pain, because you always remind me of the person who abandoned me."

He stood on the last step of the stairs for a long time, his mind replaying the times he spent with Song Zhiji.

She seemed much calmer and happier when she was with Song Zhiji.

When she was with him, they were either arguing or crying.

From the moment he fell in love with her, he made up his mind to make her happy.

But ever since he became the source of her pain, he has lost the ability to make her happy.

He returned to his room, sat on the sofa, and began to ponder a question.

If he lets go and disappears completely from her life as she said, will she be able to be happy?

But for him to never see her again would be a form of torture.

He locked himself in his room for days, focusing solely on this one question.

He hesitated for a long time until he opened the photo album and saw Liang Qing's smile in the photo, and finally made the decision to never see her again.

As long as Liang Qing can return to her former happy self, it doesn't matter if the person who changed her isn't him.

Song Zhiji is a good person, very outstanding, and he likes her very much. More importantly, he can help Liang Qing stop being immersed in pain.

He accomplished what I couldn't do; isn't that great?

He convinced himself.

After seeing how meticulously Song Zhiji treated Liang Qing on the mountain, he felt even more certain that his decision was right.

That's right.

Qin Zhouyu silently repeated it to himself over and over again.

But if it's true, why did he get so agitated when he heard Li Yang ask Liang Qing if she still loved him?

Deep down, did he not believe this was right, and did he not want to lose Liang Qing?

That's why he brought Liang Qing here, wanting to ask her who she really loves.

Was it him, or Song Zhiji, or Yan Su...?

Yan Su...

Qin Zhouyu suddenly recalled Yan Su's appearance this morning. He seemed so nervous when he brought water to Liang Qing, but he suddenly calmed down and even became indifferent when he saw him.

He knew all too well what emotion Yan Su was conveying in that glance—jealousy.
