The Hundred-Day Oath Ceremony is on Saturday, but there is only one day off between Saturday and Sunday. Li Ruyue had originally planned to go out with Li Min, but Li Min had something come up at the last minute and canceled on her. Li Ruyue could only go alone.
She arrived at the classroom to grab her backpack, and as she bent down, she suddenly noticed a box in the desk hole. Confused, she took it out and discovered it was a box of Scar Cream. She paused for a moment and immediately looked around the room. There were only a few classmates left, none of whom she recognized.
Li Ruyue looked at them and asked, "Do you know who put this box of Scar Cream here?" The few students exchanged glances and shook their heads. Li Ruyue felt a bit disappointed. Holding the Scar Cream, she slowly sat down.
In truth, she could probably guess who left it there. She just didn't expect Wang Yueming to remember where her desk hole was. Looking at the Scar Cream in her hands, Li Ruyue felt a mix of emotions. She had not wanted to have any further ties with Wang Yueming, yet fate had brought them together again.
With a sigh, Li Ruyue put away the Scar Cream and left the classroom. She didn’t want to owe Wang Yueming anything, so when she got home, she took out her phone and sent a message to Wang Yueming: "I'll return the Scar Cream."
Wang Yueming replied quickly: "No need, it's a gift for you."
Li Ruyue frowned: "I don't need it."
"…Then you can throw it away."
Li Ruyue was speechless. After thinking for a moment, she sent another message: "How much is it? I'll pay you back."
Li Ruyue waited for a while and couldn't help but send another message: 【?】
Still no reply.
Li Ruyue felt a bit angry.
She didn't want to accept his things without any explanation, but Wang Yueming was deliberately avoiding the topic.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, so she simply tossed her phone aside and tried not to think about it.
However, after a night, she still felt unsatisfied.
The next morning, Li Ruyue picked up her phone again and messaged Wang Yueming: 【Are you there?】
Wang Yueming did not respond.
After waiting for a while, Li Ruyue couldn't help but send another message: 【I don't want that box of Scar Cream, you can take it back.】
Still no reply.
Li Ruyue gritted her teeth in anger and directly took a photo of the Scar Cream, sending it to Wang Yueming.
【Do you see this?】
This time, Wang Yueming finally replied: 【...I see it.】
Li Ruyue immediately asked: 【Do you want it?】
【...Yes.】
【Okay, I'll send it to you.】
【Sending things is expensive now.】
Li Ruyue didn't understand his meaning: 【?】
Wang Yueming: 【Just return it to me directly.】
Li Ruyue: 【...Alright, when?】
Wang Yueming: 【In the afternoon.】
Li Ruyue: 【Okay, where shall we meet?】
Wang Yueming: "The milk tea shop on the old street."
Li Ruyue frowned: "Why do you want to go there?"
Wang Yueming: "I want to drink milk tea."
Li Ruyue was speechless: "…Fine."
Li Ruyue arrived at the milk tea shop in the afternoon as promised.
When she got there, Wang Yueming was already present.
He was sitting by the window, wearing a black wool coat over a gray turtleneck sweater, which made his complexion appear even paler.
Li Ruyue walked over and handed him the Scar Cream: "Here, it's yours."
Wang Yueming took it and casually placed it on the table.
Li Ruyue sat down across from him: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Wang Yueming looked at her: "No."
"Oh." Li Ruyue stood up to leave, "Then I'm going."
Wang Yueming paused for a moment and quickly grabbed the corner of her clothing: "…Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Li Ruyue nodded: "Yeah."
Wang Yueming asked: "Why?"
Li Ruyue looked at him: "What do you think?"
Wang Yueming fell silent for a moment, his voice lowering: "…Are you still mad at me?"
Li Ruyue shook her head: "No."
Wang Yueming didn't believe her: "Then why…"
"Wang Yueming," Li Ruyue interrupted him, "Do you know why I'm not angry?"
Wang Yueming looked puzzled.
Li Ruyue looked at him: "Because I don't want to have any more ties with you."
Wang Yueming's pupils trembled slightly, and he slowly released the corner of her clothing.
