Chapter 12 The First Step in Changing Oneself
The final exam is coming soon. Xie Youyan's efforts for a semester will not be in vain, and she has full confidence in herself. What she said about being among the top 100 is also a conservative estimate.
After many years, I walked into the examination room again, and the feeling in my heart was somewhat different. Compared to the carefree attitude of those years, I felt a faint excitement.
It's rare for her to get excited about something with her experience, but at this moment she would have such thoughts, perhaps it was the first change she faced after rebirth.
This time, in what used to be an ordinary exam, seems to mean a new beginning for her now, when she starts changing from the most basic learning, it can prove that everything can change.
Xie Youyan sat in the examination room and slowly calmed down, raised her head to see Liang Xi making a cheering gesture towards her from not far away, and couldn't help but smile. Xie Youyan had to admit that Liang Xi always knew how to make her laugh, and she relaxed completely.
Smiling lightly and lowering her head, she was left with only calmness in her heart.
After several exams, Xie Youyan became more and more confident, even performing exceptionally well at times. The mood that followed was also quite good, but just as he walked out of the teaching building, he saw Mu Luoqi standing there, and his smile immediately disappeared.
Moluoqi had already gotten used to it and wouldn't mind, instead walking over, "Looks like you're in a good mood, did the exam go well?"
"It's fine." Xie You said hesitantly while looking around, "Are you... waiting for someone?"
Moluoqi nodded, and Xie Youyan immediately felt relieved in her heart. "Then you continue to wait, I still have something to do first."
"We've been waiting for you." Muluo Qi suddenly grabbed her, foiling her plan to escape.
Xie Youyan smiled wryly, thinking that she used to be the one chasing after Mu Luoqi, but now she wanted to avoid them, yet they all stuck to her like glue, making her feel helpless. She looked up at Mu Luoqi's triumphant smile and felt a bit annoyed, "What is it?"
"It's like this, I promised my sister that after the final exam, I would buy her a gift, but as a big man, I don't know what you girls like, so I want to ask for your reference." Mu Luo Qi let go of his hand and stepped in front of her.
"This excuse is not clever at all." Xie Youyan directly pierced through his words.
Moluoqi perhaps didn't expect her to be so direct, and suddenly felt a bit awkward. "I'm telling the truth, I've always thought your vision is somewhat special, that's why I thought of asking for your help."
"Sorry, I still can't help you with some things." Xie Youyan seemed to believe it a bit, but also immediately shook his head in refusal.
"This excuse of yours isn't very clever either." Mu Luo Qi said with a wry smile as he looked at her.
"Mu Luo Qi, others respect you and fear you, even like you and fawn over you. So many people surround you, one more or one less makes no difference, what's the point? If I thought before that feeling his difference was just being overly sensitive, now it's clear that Mu Luo Qi really is different towards her."
Mu Luo Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled wryly at her. "Maybe it's because you're just too special. You're right, there are too many people around me who try to curry favor with me, even Qian Cheng and the others are more cautious in front of me."
"You're the only one who's different, not only do you not give me a good face to look at, but you even show your disgust, yet it's precisely this disdainful attitude of yours that always makes me unable to help but think about you, and I don't even know what's going on with myself."
After hearing his words, Xie Youyan stared at him blankly, suddenly feeling like crying and laughing at the same time. "Mu Luoqi, aren't you afraid that I'm just pretending to be different from others on purpose?"
"Your meaning is that you actually like me, so you want to attract my attention?" Mu Luo Qi looked at her seriously, "Then you've succeeded now."
"Mu Luoqi, is this considered self-inflicted sentimentality?" Xie Youyan suddenly burst out laughing, but as she laughed, her eyes revealed a hint of tears.
Looking at her expression was somewhat off, Mu Luo Qi opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Xie Youyan slowly collected her smile and looked at him, "Mu Luoqi, I Xie Youyan can like money Cheng or even Xiao Yuanshan, or anyone else, but the only one I will never like is you."
"What... what do you mean?" Mu Luo Qi's face suddenly looked a bit unsightly, and his gaze also changed gradually.
"Literal meaning." Xie You said coldly as he looked at him.
But at this time, a soft and worried voice suddenly came, "Mu Ge, are you guys okay?"
Mo Luo Qi's face looked unpleasant as he turned his head, and there stood Xia Xiao Yan with a pitiful look on her face. He took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "We're fine."
Xie You smiled slightly, if not mistaken, Mu Luo Qi liked Xia Xiao Yan's expression the most. He glanced at Xia Xiao Yan and then looked at Mu Luo Qi, "When you see the person who has arrived, I believe she will definitely be willing to accompany you to buy gifts."
Speaking of which, she didn't look at the expressions of the two people again, and walked forward freely. But for some reason, tears fell uncontrollably, only then did she realize that she was really heartbroken, heartbroken for her past self.
She humbly loved someone for over a decade, only to receive a light apology in return. However, when time came full circle and she tried to escape, fate played a cruel joke on her.
Sitting quietly by the lake, for a moment she had no one to serve. If saying that coming back once is an opportunity given by heaven for her to change, then what about Mu Luo Qi?
"How can one person sit here and enjoy the view when it's so cold?" Suddenly, I felt someone sitting down beside me, and a warm overcoat was draped over my shoulders.
He looked up and found it was Xiao Yuanshan, he was stunned for a moment before falling silent again.
"It's so cold outside and you're sitting here, are you unhappy?" Xiao Yuanshan pretended to be calm as he looked at her.
Xie Youyan suddenly turned her head to look at him, and her usual carefree expression was replaced with a hint of tension. "Xiao Yuanshan, do you think that the more unattainable someone is, the more one wants to attain them, but in turn, they don't cherish those who are easily obtainable by their side?"
"How could it be, the closer you are to me, the more I cherish you, just like how my feelings for you have never changed." Xiao Yuanshan's heart was filled with joy as he saw her willing to talk to him.
Xie You said with a cold hum, "What if we changed our approach and didn't do it like this? Instead, I pestered you every day, using all sorts of methods to get close to you. Would you still be the same as now?"
Xiao Yuanshan was taken aback, perhaps not expecting her to ask these questions suddenly, and for a moment he really couldn't think of anything to say in rebuttal.
"It's the same with you, the harder it is to get, the more you want it. Why is human heart so strange?" Xie Youyan sighed, as if asking Xiao Yuanshan and also asking himself.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuanshan didn't bother to refute, instinctively feeling that her current state was off, and looked at her with concern.
Xie Youyan shook her head and stared blankly ahead. "I'm fine, I just figured some things out."
"Xian Xian, it's already been half a year, how long are you going to ignore me?" Xiao Yuan Shan thought for a moment before saying it out loud.
"I don't know." Xie Youyan slowly stood up and returned the clothes he had just put on.
If he had known about that matter when he was just reborn, plus what he did in his previous life, he would have told him that this life would not be dealt with again. However, after experiencing the Mu Luo Qi incident, he became somewhat bewildered.
Since others are like this, what about her? Is it also true that what can't be obtained is the best?
