"No need, Grandpa. It's not his fault; I only have myself to blame for falling in love with someone I shouldn't have..."
Grandpa wanted to pat her shoulder sympathetically, but halfway through, he felt it was inappropriate and withdrew his hand, comforting her instead, "Little girl, there are many good men in this world. Don't let someone who doesn't love you occupy all of your heart."
Grandpa's words were profound, and when he spoke them, his voice trembled slightly. In his murky eyes, there seemed to be a hint of nostalgia.
"Mm~ Thank you, Grandpa." Lin Qianqian nodded, wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and turned to leave.
Just a few steps away, she encountered a figure slightly shorter than her but equally youthful and beautiful.
"Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm~"
Haitang approached cheerfully, humming a little tune. It had been several days since she last saw the one she liked. Today, she brought his favorite snacks and drinks to see him. Every time she watched him eat ravenously, she found it adorable.
"Eh? Why is she here too?" Haitang noticed Lin Qianqian, who was just about to leave, from a distance. However, since they weren't very close, she didn't notice Lin Qianqian's dejected mood.
As a rival in love, Haitang didn't particularly like Lin Qianqian and instinctively wanted to avoid her. But just as she was about to step away, she shook her head and thought to herself, "Haitang, what are you thinking? You should pursue your happiness openly; how can you let another woman defeat you? Mm~ Stay strong and keep going!"
With renewed spirit, Haitang continued forward with a confident smile.
"Eh? Qianqian, what are you doing here? Are you here to see Brother Ye too?"
"Ah? Oh, it's you." Lin Qianqian was startled and came back to her senses, giving a symbolic greeting.
Haitang noticed that her reaction was a bit off and frowned. "What's wrong with her? She seems to be in a bad mood. Hmm, could it be that Brother Ye rejected her? Hehe, she must not have brought any good food. I know Brother Ye the best; if I bring him so many delicious treats, he will definitely be happy. Maybe he'll even want to be with me... Hehe..."
Seeing Haitang's cheerful demeanor, I also noticed what she was carrying.
"Is that for Brother Ye?"
"Yes! These are all Brother Ye's favorite foods," Haitang said with a happy smile. Ever since she confessed to Ye Mingshang, Haitang's personality had changed significantly, transforming from shy and timid to lively and cheerful.
Lin Qianqian's eyes were downcast, looking disinterested. She felt sympathy for another woman who was suffering like herself, but to Haitang, it appeared as a sense of loss.
"Don't be so sad! It's just one rejection. We can go up together, okay?" Seeing Lin Qianqian upset, with what seemed like unshed tears in her eyes, the kind-hearted Haitang felt soft-hearted.
Lin Qianqian shook her head in refusal and looked at Haitang with sympathy, contemplating whether to tell her about the situation.
Haitang felt uncomfortable under her gaze and pouted.
"Hey! Why do you keep looking at me like that? It's really strange!"
"Forget it; you should just cheer yourself up. I'm going to find Brother Ye."
After saying that, Haitang hugged the snacks she brought for Ye Mingshang and tried to sneak away. However, after taking just a couple of steps, she was called back by Lin Qianqian.
"You don't need to go."
"Why?!" Haitang asked angrily as she turned back.
Lin Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "He won't accept you..."
"Hmph! That's too much! If Brother Ye won't accept me, will he accept you? Bad woman, I won't listen to you." Haitang angrily stuck out her tongue at her.
"No, he won't accept me either..."
Lin Qianqian's words made Haitang stop in her tracks, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"He's leaving to find his true love."
"What?!"
Haitang felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and the bag in her hand fell to the ground. She had always known that Ye Mingshang had someone he couldn't let go of, but since she had never met this person after all this time, she thought that with her relentless efforts, she could move him. But now, he was actually going to leave?
"Impossible! You're lying to me..." Haitang's voice trembled in disbelief.
"It's true. He has clearly said that he won't accept me, nor will he accept you. Because he has someone he can't forget or let go of..." As Lin Qianqian spoke, her heart was filled with bitterness.
Yes... he has his beloved whom he cannot let go of, but he is also the person she cannot let go of... If they are destined not to be together, then why did he step into her world...
"Impossible... impossible! You're lying! You must be lying!" Haitang shouted and rushed into the dormitory building. The Dormitory Supervisor merely sighed and did not stop her.
Along the way, many boys who saw a girl running wildly looked confused and bewildered. One boy was standing in the hallway wearing only shorts, arguing with his roommate when suddenly a girl passed by, startling him into clenching his legs together and covering his crotch.
"Haha! Old Pig, what does that posture mean? That's so disgusting, haha!" His roommate mercilessly mocked him.
"Get lost! A girl just ran past!"
"Don't joke around, there's no girl. I think you've watched too many movies and are seeing things, haha!"
...
Ten minutes later, Haitang walked out of the dormitory building in a daze, while Lin Qianqian remained nearby without leaving. Haitang glanced over and silently walked toward her.
"You were right; he has his own love. You can't enter his world, and I... can't either..." Haitang's voice was bitter and filled with reluctance.
Lin Qianqian looked at this girl who was as pitiful as herself, feeling a sense of shared sorrow. She comforted her, saying, "If you want to cry, just let it out."
Haitang's expression grew even sadder. She bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears, but when the pain hit her heart, she couldn't contain it any longer. Before long, she broke down in loud sobs, tears streaming down her face, attracting the attention of passersby.
Lin Qianqian wanted to console her but found herself at a loss for words. In the end, she could only pat her shoulder.
Haitang then collapsed into her embrace, crying out loud, "Waaah! I'm not willing! I'm not willing! Why? Why did I give so much for him? Why can't I get his love despite loving him so much? Why?!"
Lin Qianqian's eyes also couldn't help but shed tears as she whispered, "Why?... It's because we were a step too late..."
Watching these two pitiful girls from a distance, the Dormitory Supervisor could only sigh softly, "Ah! Such a fateful bond!" (To be continued.)
