Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Showdown

Because Su Yifeng was eager to see An Yin, he accidentally hung up the phone while running as his fingers touched the screen.

He didn’t think about calling back; instead, he thought he should run faster to see the person who occupied his thoughts sooner!

Su Yifeng arrived at the school bulletin board at the time he mentioned.

"Huff... huff..." Running too fast, Su Yifeng breathed heavily, perspiration covering his forehead, looking a bit disheveled. Yet, it didn’t diminish his handsome and extraordinary appearance.

"You, you waited long, right?" Su Yifeng said, stammering.

An Yin lowered her head and quickly took out two tissues from her bag, "Wipe your sweat." When she saw him running over from afar, her mind was filled with mixed thoughts.

"Thank you." Su Yifeng’s face was filled with joy as he accepted them.

When he took the tissue, their fingers accidentally touched for a moment, even though they quickly pulled away.

An Yin still turned her head in a fluster.

Su Yifeng felt his heart was out of control, as if it was about to burst out, unable to suppress it.

To conceal his strange feelings, Su Yifeng quickly wiped the sweat off his face. Instantly, a fragrance lingered in his nostrils, Su Yifeng knew it was the scent of the tissue, but he couldn’t help feeling a surge of emotion.

An Yin already started walking, and the two slowly proceeded toward the pedestrian path.

No one spoke a word.

Being able to walk with An Yin, Su Yifeng very much liked this atmosphere, unable to calm his heart for a long time.

Su Yifeng nervously glanced sideways, observing her petite and slender figure from the corner of his eye, his gaze so focused that even he didn’t notice.

An Yin’s hair was down; from his line of sight, he could only see her high nose bridge, her long eyelashes lightly trembling, and her slender neck. Her skin was very fair, the exposed part of her neck was like white jade, almost transparent under the sunlight, and Su Yifeng became momentarily entranced.

When An Yin turned her head, she happened to meet Su Yifeng’s direct gaze.

In an instant, both turned their heads, blushing ear to ear.

At this moment, Su Yifeng wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

Peeking at someone and getting caught on the spot, there’s nothing more embarrassing than this in the world!

An Yin wasn’t much better, her cheeks flushed. Su Yifeng’s bold peeking further solidified her thoughts, some matters indeed couldn’t be dragged on indefinitely, wasting someone’s feelings for no reason made her feel guilty.

Thinking of what she wanted to say, An Yin took a deep breath, "Senior, I called you out today because I have something to say."

When she put on a serious attitude, Su Yifeng’s surging emotions instantly turned into anxiety, a foreboding feeling arising in his heart.

"Go ahead." Su Yifeng intentionally slowed his pace, his hands unconsciously placed behind him, clenched into fists, even before An Yin said a word, his palms were already sweaty.

An Yin’s clear eyes looked straight ahead, the end of the straight path seeming out of sight.

Her bright eyes at this moment were tinged with worry, deep and captivating.

The next second, Su Yifeng heard her speak.

"Senior, thank you for your affection." After An Yin said this, her expression remained calm.

Su Yifeng wasn’t stupid; from her unruffled expression, he could tell she didn’t harbor any romantic feelings for him.

He loved her, and thus understood what it meant to love someone.

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart.

"When you confessed to me earlier, my first reaction was surprise, then I felt awkward, and finally guilty because I couldn’t reciprocate your feelings in the same way," An Yin lowered her head slowly, expressing her thoughts, "Even though you said to be just ordinary friends later, I could feel that you hadn’t given up, right?"

"Yes." Su Yifeng’s gaze wavered, the smile on his face long gone, his eyes showed a sense of helplessness and melancholy.

"Senior, don’t waste your time on me, it’s really not worth it!" After An Yin said this, it was as if she had lifted a burden off her shoulders.

Su Yifeng gave a bitter smile.

When you love someone, there’s no need to talk about worthiness, and besides, this heart is beyond his control!

Su Yifeng didn’t respond directly to her words but instead asked a question that puzzled him, "I want to know, why did you suddenly decide to say these things to me."

In Su Yifeng’s eyes, she seemed gentle and mild, even though she knew he liked her, he didn’t think she had the courage to refuse face to face!

"Because I truly consider you as a friend, and I don’t want you to waste too much time on me." Facing his sincere feelings, An Yin felt guilty, moreover, she couldn’t give him any response.

Consider you as a friend!

When this phrase appeared in Su Yifeng’s mind, it already predetermined their relationship.

His feelings were one-sided infatuation from the beginning.

Su Yifeng once felt fortunate that as long as An Yin didn’t explicitly reject him, he had a glimmer of hope, although it was slim. As long as he tried and stayed by her side, one day she might come to like him. This thought shattered at this moment!

She made it clear she only considered him a friend!

At this moment, it’s impossible for him not to feel heartbroken!

After all, from the first moment he saw An Yin, her serene and stunning appearance was deeply engraved in his heart. This love, buried in his heart, never saw the day where clouds were cleared over nearly two and a half years.

This was his first time being madly in love with such a beautiful girl! It ended in failure even before it began!

Su Yifeng lowered his eyes, finding each step forward exceptionally difficult.

An Yin, beside him, stopped when she saw he wasn’t speaking, "Senior..."

"Junior, don’t think about how to comfort me." Su Yifeng knew she was kind-hearted, cutting off what she was about to say, he continued, "Maybe I’ll be stuck for a while, but I’ll try to get over it! During this time, I will attempt to consider you as an ordinary friend, is that okay?"

Su Yifeng knew, perhaps he’d never genuinely forget her in this lifetime. Fearing she would feel guilty, he told a kind lie to make her feel better.

The girl he liked was timid and sensitive, and he couldn’t let her feel anxious!

"Okay!" An Yin’s voice was soft and sincere.

An Yin almost had no male friends; Su Yifeng was warm-hearted, and talking to him made her feel comfortable. She really hoped to maintain a relationship as ordinary friends in the future.

"We’ve walked quite a distance; let’s head back to school early, otherwise your feet will hurt tomorrow." Su Yifeng forced himself to stay calm, pulling a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but his words were filled with concern.

Faced with his thoughtfulness, An Yin paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay."

The two turned, returning to where they came from.

On the pedestrian path, Su Yifeng was no longer as enthusiastic as usual; at this moment, his mood was low, his eyes showing a distracted emptiness.
