Chapter 697: Loving Me Is Hard, Isn't It?

't met your niece and nephew yet. I think they look a lot like you. Would you like to go see them"Towards Evening looked at her, her eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. Her voice was soft, "S..."For so many years, loving me must have been hard, right"

He asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with unspeakable tenderness.

Menglan looked at him, her thoughts disturbed by his gentleness. She involuntarily took a step back and stubbornly spoke, "What about love Didn't I tell you "

Back then, I only confessed to you because I was making a bet with my classmates. Later, I realized you weren't that great after all...

Having gone through so much, does love even matter anymore Can love compare to all the lives lost

Feng Mu watched her take half a step back, a pang of pain flashing in his eyes. He let out a sigh, as if resigned to fate.

"I truly hope you are as carefree as you say, then I wouldn't worry about you."

Menglan was stunned, for a moment, she couldn't say a word.

She looked at Feng Mu, not knowing what to say to break this deathly silence.

At this moment, Feng Mu stepped forward, ignoring her wishes, and took her hand, leading her to the rooftop.

From here, you can see the entire school at a glance.

With a slight tilt of the head, the entire sky was filled with stars, as if reaching out one's hand could touch those twinkling lights.

Mulan tried to break free from Kai Feng's grasp, but he held her tightly. All she could hear was his low, deep voice...

"At your 18th birthday party, the first time we met. I remember you with your short hair, jumping on tables playing with a group of boys. I thought to myself, 'how could there be such a bold girl'"

As she listened to him, Menglan seemed to be drawn into the memories, letting out a cold snort.

"Yeah, you said back then that you wouldn't fall for a girl like me..."

In our youth, we always loved to say the opposite of what we meant. But I remember your eyes at that time were so clear and bright, the prettiest I'd ever seen in all the girls. From then on, I started paying attention to you.

"Did you notice me" Menglan exclaimed in surprise.

She remembered that Feng Mu always despised her, ignoring her completely. Probably the entire school disliked her the most!

Feng Mu listened to her words, but chuckled softly.

"You don't know, at my birthday party, you were late. I didn't eat a single bite of cake because I knew that silly girl would definitely make one for me personally. "

Later, I found you in the back garden. You were so tired you were about to fall asleep, and the cake was broken from all the bumping around. But I remember, the cake was very sweet, and you were beautiful.

"You remember" Menglan was struck dumb with astonishment.

Fēng Mù lightly pulled open his lips, a smile even softer than before. He raised his head, and touched her forehead with his hand.

"I still remember, you hand-knitted a scarf for me. To be honest, it was really ugly."

"Who let you keep it Now that I think about it, giving it to a dog would be better than giving it to you!" Menglan's face flushed red at his words, and she was also drawn back into the memories.

"Such an ugly scarf, yet out of all the girls, I alone accepted yours."

One summer vacation, when all the parents were away, you shamelessly sprawled on the sofa in my living room, claiming that: "I'm the top student, you're here to audit my classes and take care of me."

Meng Lan hurriedly snatched the words, "It was indeed taking care of you back then..."

"Cracked eggshells, little white mice stuffed to death by you at home, and broken test tubes on my lab table causing an explosion, is this how you take care of me" Feng Mu chuckled, that bright smile carrying a hint of indulgence.

"I…" Meng Lan felt ashamed, "Anyway, you always criticize me. In your eyes, I have nothing good!"

"Who said that" Feng Mu raised his slender finger and lightly tapped her nose, speaking in a loving tone, "I remember, you took so many summer classes to catch up with me, and your grades improved by tens of places."

I remember, once when I was hospitalized due to illness, you learned to cook in order to take care of me.

I still remember, I liked to play basketball. Every time there was a game, whether you had class or not, you would show up at the court to take pictures of me as a souvenir...

"Enough!" Menglan hissed.

Her face turned ashen, and she took several steps back. She gently raised her hand to her chest, feeling her heart pounding wildly with each beat, each one a stab of pain.

She shook her head, seeming unwilling to admit that she had always loved Feng Mu.

In her mind, it was like two sides of herself were fighting. The more she denied it, the more she confirmed it in her heart!

She wanted to leave, but as soon as she took a step, Feng Mu stepped forward, pulling her into his embrace. In her ear, came that faint plea, "Don't reject me, I just want to hug you once, the last time."

"Last time."

Though Menglan’s heart was filled with resistance, when she heard his pleading voice, her resolve softened and she allowed him to hold her.

Her lips trembled slightly, but she clenched her jaw tightly.

"Feng Mu, what are you trying to do!"

But the person behind her slightly raised their chin, pressing against her head and lightly rubbing it.

"Having said all this, I have no regrets in my heart. Tomorrow, I will have you escorted... out of the city."

Escort you out of the city!

Meng Lan's beautiful eyes widened, a hint of shock flashing in them.

As expected, he really did intend to let me go.

But how... could he suddenly understand

"Are you lying to me" Perhaps because of the previous hurt, Meng Lan's heart was scarred with a deep shadow.

She never believed that Feng Mu could be so kind. A spark of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she turned around, raising her hand to slap his face.

"You liar! How much more can you deceive me You think I'll believe that you were in love with me just by saying a few words What are you really trying to pull!"

Feng Mu didn't dodge and took the slap head-on.

He tilted his head to the other side, his hair disheveled. He couldn't feel the pain on his face, but the pain in his heart was a hundred times worse!

Feng Mu didn't defend himself. He directly took the file bag handed to him by his high school teacher, slowly unsealed it, and took out two transcripts.

Despite herself, Menglan reached out and took it. It was her and Feng Mu's high school transcripts from back in the day...

After seeing it, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, filled with astonishment.

She suddenly remembered that summer vacation when they were both eighteen, preparing for the middle school entrance exam. She had excitedly pestered Feng Mu with questions about...

"Feng Mu, you're about to take the high school entrance exam soon, where do you want to go to school"

"Imperial Capital High School."

"Ah... Imperial Capital High School is ranked first in the entire country, with an admission score of over 500. With my current grades, I can only get into a private high school. It seems like we... won't be able to attend the same high school."

Most importantly, these two high schools are not only academically different, but also geographically distant.
