After Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin started dating, their relationship remained the same as before.

They still train together, eat together, and exchange gifts, but the atmosphere between them has changed.

Before they were sure of each other's feelings, they tentatively approached each other cautiously. Even a small glance or gesture from the other person could stir up waves of emotion and speculation in their hearts.

After confessing their feelings to each other, they stopped hesitating and were able to treat each other well openly. In addition to feeling more relaxed and at ease, the atmosphere between them became more harmonious and sweet, filled with romantic moments.

They don't shy away from being affectionate in front of strangers. They don't avoid passersby or deliberately show off their love. They interact just like other couples.

Pei Shaojin is a prince of the empire, and most people at the Imperial University know him. Chu Yun, a girl who has been the talk of the town since she entered university, is also known by many people.

Many people have seen them walking hand in hand on the paths where couples often gather on campus; they eating at the same table in the school cafeteria; they exercising together in the training room.

With so many coincidences coming together, who could possibly not guess their relationship?

Soon, news of Pei Shaojin and Chu Yun's relationship spread throughout every corner of Imperial University.

Han Cheng'an also heard the rumors, and each time he heard them, his heart ached even more.

Even now, he still can't understand why Chu Yun would fall for Pei Shaojin and not him.

They were the first to meet, and he and Chu Yun got along very well.

Han Cheng'an couldn't bear to watch them be intimate, so he would avoid them whenever he saw Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin.

But today, something unexpected happened.

On the wide road, Han Cheng'an was walking north, while Chu Yun was walking south.

They drew closer and closer, and finally saw each other.

When Han Cheng'an's gaze met Chu Yun's, his eyes darkened, and he averted his gaze first, abruptly stopping his forward steps.

Then Han Cheng'an turned around stiffly, clearly trying to avoid Chu Yun.

"Han Cheng'an," Chu Yun called out to him in a raised voice.

Han Cheng'an nearly slipped as he was about to land.

Why did Chu Yun call him over today?

His heart leaped into his throat, and after regaining his footing, Han Cheng'an hesitated to turn around.

If he said he wanted to see Chu Yun, he would turn around and run away as soon as he saw her; if he said he didn't want to see Chu Yun, he wouldn't leave after being called back.

The contradictions in his behavior reveal the turmoil in his heart.

Even Han Cheng'an himself didn't know whether he wanted to see Chu Yun or not.

When I don't see her, I miss her; when I see her, my heart aches.

I never knew loving someone who doesn't love me could be so difficult and so painful.

Han Cheng'an was in turmoil, torn and in pain, while Chu Yun also fell silent for a moment.

She didn't know when it started, but Han Cheng'an began avoiding her, and this wasn't the first time he had done so.

Whenever she tried to call out to Han Cheng'an, Pei Shaojin would stop her, saying that Han Cheng'an might have urgent business to attend to and that she shouldn't disturb him.

Chu Yun thought it made sense. She and Han Cheng'an had no conflict, so there was no reason for Han Cheng'an to avoid her.

But as time went on, Chu Yun also became puzzled. One or two times she could be told that she didn't see it, but what about three or four times?

Perhaps she really did something wrong and offended Han Cheng'an without realizing it?

Regardless, Pei Shaojin isn't here today, so he can't stop her. She's determined to talk things out with Han Cheng'an.

Seeing that Han Cheng'an remained motionless, Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards him.

Although Han Cheng'an had his back to him, his hearing was exceptional and his attention was focused on what was behind him. He could clearly feel Chu Yun walking towards him step by step.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't excited; Han Cheng'an's heart was pounding wildly.

He clenched his fist, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around.

Chu Yun had already arrived at his side by then.

Their eyes met, and Han Cheng'an saw the person he had been longing for day and night.

Chu Yun looked at Han Cheng'an as well, a hint of hurt flashing in her eyes. "Cheng'an, did I do something wrong to make you angry? Why have you been avoiding me these past few days?"

Han Cheng'an remained silent. It was never your fault, but how can I tell you that I had to avoid you because I was jealous of Pei Shaojin and afraid of losing control of my reason?

"No, you're not wrong," Han Cheng'an denied.

Chu Yun: "Really?"

Han Cheng'an smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Of course."

“Cheng’an, you are my first friend, and you are really important to me. If you have any opinions about me, please be sure to tell me,” Chu Yun said earnestly.

friend?

Han Cheng'an smiled wryly, "It's really nothing. I've had some very important things to do these past two days, and I've been so busy that I'm dizzy. I didn't mean to avoid you."

Seeing that his eyes were indeed bloodshot and his under-eyes were dark, making him look like he hadn't had enough rest, Chu Yun began to believe him.

"What is it? Can I help?" Chu Yun asked.

"As for cultivation, I have to break through on my own; you can't help me with that," Han Cheng'an said meaningfully.

Chu Yun nodded, "Then you should also get some rest and not overwork yourself."

Han Cheng'an: "I understand."

Chu Yun checked the time and realized that the time she had agreed to meet Gu Fenglin had arrived. "Cheng'an, I have something to do and I have to go now. Take good care of yourself. I'll make you some magical artifacts another day and see if they can help you."

Han Cheng'an: "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

Who else could Chu Yun be so eager to see besides Pei Shaojin? Asking any more questions would only make him more heartbroken.

Chu Yun felt relieved, thinking she had already spoken frankly with Han Cheng'an, and smiled.

"Then I'm leaving, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

After Chu Yun finished speaking, she walked away.

Han Cheng'an watched her figure shrink and recede into the distance, feeling a deep sense of loss.

"Cheng'an."

A familiar voice came from behind him, and Han Cheng'an couldn't help but frown.

Turning around, she saw that the person who had come was indeed Pei Shaojin, and her brows furrowed even more.

"What are you doing here?" Han Cheng'an asked, puzzled. "Were you following Chu Yun?"

Pei Shaojin's eyes flashed. "Chu Yun and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. Why would I follow her?"

Hearing him say that, Han Cheng'an sneered, "You don't need to keep bringing this up all the time."

Although Han Cheng'an's words were sarcastic, the sourness in them was undeniable. Pei Shaojin, feeling confident that he had Chu Yun's heart, remained in a superior position and didn't want to argue with him.

"Chu Yun went to discuss the issue with Feng Lin. He's back today, and you happen to be here too. After he and Chu Yun finish talking, the three of us will meet. Now that Chu Yun is with me, there are some things we need to discuss further."

Han Cheng'an couldn't stand his smugness and the way he seemed to have won the heart of the beauty, so he deliberately said sarcastically, "Don't be so proud of yourself. Who can guarantee that Chu Yun will like you forever?"

Pei Shaojin sneered, "I don't know if Chu Yun will always like me, but I know she will never like her friend."

Han Cheng'an gritted his teeth: "You!"
