Li Qingxue remained silent, sitting on the bench on the other side. After a long while, she slowly said, "It's raining today, and I thought you wouldn't come."
"High school life in the final year is dull and monotonous, but this place offers a better way to relieve stress," Long Aotian said lazily, listening to the sound of rain hitting the pavilion. "Balancing work and relaxation helps optimize one's state of mind."
Li Qingxue shrugged. She couldn't deny that the environment was indeed comfortable.
But compared to this, most people might choose to listen to music or play online games to relieve stress through entertainment.
"Only older people enjoy relieving stress by listening to the sound of flowing water and rain. You're only eighteen, why do you act so old?"
"I'm precocious," Long Aotian said simply.
Li Qingxue chuckled. "I don't believe you're precocious."
With that laugh, the clouds in her heart dissipated.
Li Qingxue sat on the bench, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the rain outside the pavilion.
"By the way, may I ask if you're Long Aotian?"
Yes, what do you think? Does my name sound powerful, shaking its suffocating, bountiful breath expelling fabulous?
After hesitating, Li Qingxue lowered her voice. "I'm sorry for my friend's actions. I apologize on his behalf."
"I've actually wanted to apologize to you in person for a while, but there was never an opportunity at school. I hope you can accept this belated apology."
This incident was just a simple misunderstanding.
There was nothing much to it, except that Ye Liangchen happened to hear about it.
Regardless, the cause of the incident was ultimately her.
Otherwise, Ye Liangchen wouldn't have gone to trouble Long Aotian, so she should apologize.
"Trouble me?" Long Aotian looked at Li Qingxue strangely. "Haven't you heard about me at school?"
"I have."
"Then why would you say something like that? Who dares to cause trouble for me?"
Hearing this, Li Qingxue was slightly surprised. "Didn't anyone bother you on Monday, at noon after school?"
Long Aotian thought carefully. This whole week, under Hu Yuying's supervision, he had been diligently practicing problems every day and hadn't been disturbed by anyone. So he confidently replied, "No."
Upon hearing Long Aotian's affirmative answer, Li Qingxue was puzzled and asked quietly, "Could it be that there's another student in our school named Long Aotian?"
"Are you kidding me?" Long Aotian laughed at Li Qingxue's suspicious, uncertain, and cautious tone.
Seeing Long Aotian's big, bright smile full of youthful energy, Li Qingxue's eyes softened. "But you're different from the rumors. My classmates say you're very violent, that you'll hit someone without a second thought."
"Anyone who provokes you will end up regretting it."
"They even say you once kicked someone ten meters away!"
Long Aotian saw Li Qingxue getting more and more excited and her eyes lighting up, so he quickly waved his hands. "Stop, stop! Ten meters in one kick? Are you treating me like Superman?"
Li Qingxue looked at Long Aotian, a smile rising from the bottom of her heart. "But when I talk to you and interact with you, I don't feel like you're the kind of person who would hit someone without a second thought."
"What kind of person do I seem to you?" Long Aotian sat up and asked Li Qingxue.
"I don't know what others think, but I think you're mild-mannered and a bit wild." Li Qingxue said seriously.
From the time Long Aotian consoled her, she could feel that he was very patient with people.
And the words he said never felt harsh, like a senior but not quite, making him a great listener...
Also, during their first meeting, when interviewing her, he had bent down due to the height difference, showing great courtesy...
That's why Li Qingxue couldn't reconcile the Long Aotian described by her desk mate with the person she met!
"Thanks, I didn't expect such a high evaluation from you." Long Aotian said with a smile. "Actually, I used to be a bit of a jerk, but I've been working on changing myself."
He then picked up the milk next to him. "Did you come here early just to apologize on behalf of your friend?"
Li Qingxue took a deep breath and sighed. "Yeah."
Gao Quan had mentioned that Ye Liangchen caused trouble for Long Aotian because of her.
Li Qingxue thought that since the matter arose because of her, it might bring unnecessary trouble to Long Aotian, and she was also worried that Long Aotian would retaliate against Ye Liangchen. That's why she wanted to apologize.
After all, they were classmates and friends, and there was no need for any unpleasantness.
Moreover, it was just a misunderstanding!
But now, from the mouth of the person involved, she learned that Ye Liangchen hadn't caused any trouble for Long Aotian.
So, was Gao Quan lying to her?
Or did Ye Liangchen ask Gao Quan to lie to her?
She didn't know what to feel, just complex emotions.
Long Aotian glanced at Li Qingxue and said with a smile, "Your generation puts far too much importance on the naive feelings between boys and girls."
Like Li Qingxue, who was very slow in matters of love, Long Aotian just by looking at her expression knew she was caught up in another bout of confusion.
He considered it normal. If someone had been by his side for nine years, he would probably be in a dilemma for a moment too.
"Love is beautiful for everyone."
"But a healthy relationship should be one where both sides progress together, rather than getting deeper into entanglement."
"Whether it's you or your friend, if you can't let go of each other, you can give him a chance and reevaluate your relationship from another perspective, and you might experience some different changes."
"Of course, all of this should wait until after the college entrance exam."
This was a small piece of advice Long Aotian gave her.
He wanted to tell her not to get stuck in love and confusion. If she couldn't let go, try to take it seriously, follow her heart, and have no regrets...
Li Qingxue's eyes moved slightly because Long Aotian's words really resonated with her.
Her life plan was exactly that.
And she firmly believed that if two people truly loved each other, they would meet at the peak.
That's why from the beginning, she hadn't planned to include love in her high school life...
The rain gradually became lighter. Long Aotian put the milk back next to Li Qingxue. "The rain is lighter, I'm leaving first. I hope the next time we meet, you won't be stuck in confusion."
Li Qingxue then noticed that Long Aotian didn't have an umbrella.
She was just about to suggest maybe she could accompany him back.
But Long Aotian just waved at her, walking further into the rain, his figure gradually fading in the rain.
As if fearless of the rain, free and straightforward.
After Long Aotian left, Li Qingxue looked at the milk beside her, gazing into the endless rain. She couldn't help but stretch...
Whether it was for any reason that she was lied to, just like Long Aotian said, it's like her life plan, everything could wait until after the college entrance exam...
