Meeting you in autumn

Looking at the phone screen that quickly went black, the two couldn't help but look at each other, a hint of helplessness on their faces.

Just then, Su Shu walked slowly over with light steps.

She smiled and handed the phone back to Guan Yu, asking curiously, "Xiao Yu, who were you talking to just now?"

"Aunt Su, it's my mother calling," Feng Ming replied quickly upon hearing Aunt Su's question.

His voice was clear and loud, with a touch of childlike innocence.

"Oh, I see. She must miss you all so much." Aunt Su nodded thoughtfully, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, Aunt Su, I miss them so much too!" Guan Yu echoed sincerely, her eyes filled with longing for her family.

At this moment, Aunt Su looked at the two adorable children with a face full of affection, then turned her gaze to Guan Yu and said gently, "You, you, I've already seen those photos. They're really well taken, and you look so good together!"

After saying that, he gently pinched Guan Yu's rosy cheeks.

Hearing her words, Guan Yu lowered her head somewhat shyly, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"Alright, you guys get some rest. I need to go out and take care of some things."

As Aunt Su spoke, she reached for her coat on the sofa, her movements elegant and natural.

"Okay, Aunt Su, please be careful on your way." The two said almost in unison.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a soft "bang," and Aunt Su had already walked out of the room and gently closed the door.

The room fell silent, leaving only Feng Ming and Guan Yu. They exchanged a glance and then went about their own business.

Meanwhile, Guan Qing was once again escorted home by Chen Feng, just like last time. Watching him leave, Guan Qing felt a moment of disorientation, as if there was a subtle feeling between them.

Guan Qing opened the door and saw Li Yuan lying on the sofa. He walked over, sat down, and asked in a low voice, "Where's my mother?"

Hearing Guan Qing's voice, Li Yuan sat up and said, "Auntie, she's already resting."

"Don't worry, Auntie has already eaten and has nothing to do today," she added, as if remembering something.

"Thank you, Li Yuan." Guan Qing felt relieved after hearing her words, then collapsed wearily onto the sofa and took a deep breath.

Looking at her like that, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of pity, his heart filled with tenderness.

She slowly stood up and walked gently to the kitchen to cook her a bowl of noodles filled with warmth and care.

Not long after, Li Yuan carefully carried a bowl of steaming hot noodles that looked and smelled delicious out of the kitchen.

She gently placed the bowl on the table in front of Guan Qing, afraid of waking her from her own world.

However, Guan Qing seemed completely unaware that someone was approaching, nor did she hear any sound. All her attention was focused on the phone screen in her hand, her eyes fixed on the photos inside.

Li Yuan stood quietly to the side, silently watching Guan Qing. Seeing that she did not react, he quietly moved closer to her.

When she finally saw the image on her phone screen, her heart skipped a beat.

It turns out there are two people in the photo, one of whom is Guan Qing, and the other is the boy Guan Qing met last time.

The man in the photo has a faint smile on his lips, looking very sunny and handsome; while Guan Qing's smile is somewhat unfamiliar, as if he is a little reserved.

Just then, Li Yuan blurted out without thinking, "Qingqing, you like him?"

Li Yuan's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, startling Guan Qing, who was completely focused on the conversation. Guan Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah~ Yuan Yuan, when did you get here!"

Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, a look of resignation and speechlessness on his face, and said, "I've been here for a while now. Here, the noodles are ready. Eat them while they're hot."

Upon hearing her words, she saw a bowl of noodles in front of her, and a warm feeling welled up in Guan Qing's heart. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Li Yuan sat beside her, watching Guan Qing wolf down her food, a slight smile playing on his lips. After finishing the noodles, Guan Qing felt much better, and her mood relaxed.

"Thank you, Li Yuan," Guan Qing said again. "You're always there for me when I need you most."

Li Yuan gently patted Guan Qing on the shoulder, "We are friends, this is what I should do."

Then, as if he had just thought of something, Li Yuan stared into her eyes with a mischievous grin and whispered, "Who's that guy on the phone? Is he someone you like? Do you have a crush on him? Does he know?"

Hearing Li Yuan's four consecutive questions, Guan Qing couldn't help but laugh: "What is this? Asking so many questions right off the bat, how am I supposed to answer any of them?"

"Alright then, what's your relationship with him?" Li Yuan asked, pursing his lips.

"He's my classmate, so we should be friends, right?" Guan Qing said the last sentence with a hint of hesitation. She wasn't sure if the two of them were really good friends, since she had only started hanging out with Shen Jia and the others.

However, Li Yuan continued to ask, "You like him?"

Upon hearing her words, Guan Qing's face flushed red, like a ripe apple, and then she nodded.

When Li Yuan saw her like this, he instantly understood that she had a crush on him!

Just as he was about to ask her again, he heard Guan Qing slowly say, "I like him, but he doesn't know. I don't dare to confess, because I'm afraid that in the end we won't even be able to be friends. I don't want that to happen." After saying that, Guan Qing lowered her head.

Hearing her words, Li Yuan felt a pang of pain in her heart. She knew, of course, that unrequited love was a silent one-man show, and once spoken, it might turn into a tragedy.

Then she gently patted Guan Qing's back and comforted her, "Qingqing, you're so amazing, how could he not like you? Be confident!"

But Li Yuan's words did not elicit any reaction from Guan Qing. She knew very well how big the gap was between herself and Chen Feng, so how could she not feel inferior? She felt that she was just an insignificant little pitiful person in the corner.

Seeing that she was in low spirits, Li Yuan took her back to her room.
