Sigh!

This is the classic case of not cherishing something until it's gone... Xu Jingjie sighed deeply, holding her daughter tightly in her arms, and said softly:

"Silly girl, what's the use of crying? Crying is a trump card when facing someone who cares about you, but it's completely ineffective against someone who doesn't."

"If you think Jiang Che isn't important, you can just be friends, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But if you think he's important and you value this relationship, and want to win him back, then you need to take action and put in the effort, not just sit here crying."

"I think Jiang Che is very important..." Su Rongyin sobbed.

"Then show your attitude and let him see it!"

Xu Jingjie said, "Most importantly, you need to let go of your pride. You've gotten used to treating Jiang Che with an aloof attitude."

"When he was indulging you, he thought everything about you was good. But once he decides to leave, if you keep treating him like that, it'll only make him dislike you, and you might not even be able to stay friends..."

Xu Jingjie sighed deeply, "Yin, in a few days, you'll be turning eighteen, becoming an adult. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path in life, and make your own decisions about many things. So, whatever you do in the future, whether it's dealing with matters or people, think more and don't act on impulse. Once some things go wrong, they can't be undone!"

"Mom, I understand." Su Rongyin replied, lifting her already swollen eyes, which looked like two blooming peach blossoms, "So... can I still make it up with Jiang Che?"

"Where there's a will, there's a way." Xu Jingjie smiled encouragingly.

...

"Where there's a will, there's a way! If you can't pedal the tricycle, just stand up and pedal!"

"You're full of it!"

Old Chen was pedaling a tricycle loaded with a bunch of stuff.

Jiang Che had promised to come help as soon as the stuff was delivered.

But Chen Yunsong had already reached the gate of Jiang Che's neighborhood before he finally saw Jiang Che, and he wasn't in a good mood.

As he was cursing, he suddenly stretched his neck, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why did it take you so long to come back... did you make up with Su Rongyin? Or did you take it a step further?"

"Buy me a pack of cigarettes and I'll tell you."

Jiang Che gestured towards the small shop next to the neighborhood gate.

Sensing some gossip to be had, Chen Yunsong eagerly ran to the store and bought a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes: "When did you learn to smoke? Aren't you afraid of being seen smoking at the gate of your neighborhood?"

Jiang Che didn't even bother to respond, he just opened the pack and lit one.

"So, how did it go?" Chen Yunsong asked eagerly.

"I was planning to leave after dropping off the stuff, but then Old Gu called her and said I was going to tutor her, so I had no choice but to stay and tutor." Jiang Che said.

"And after the tutoring? Did you reconcile, take it further, become mutually affectionate, holding hands?" Chen Yunsong's face was full of curiosity as he quickly asked.

"I left as soon as I finished tutoring, otherwise you wouldn't see me here now." Jiang Che said.

"?"

Chen Yunsong was stunned, and the next second he was about to angrily strangle Jiang Che: "You bastard, give me my money back! 13 bucks!!!"

"Stop!"

Jiang Che reached out to stop him.

This sudden seriousness made Chen Yunsong halt, looking at Jiang Che in confusion: "What's up?"

"I have to make tea with milk, no time to mess with you, I'm leaving, take this, so it wasn't a waste for you to buy it."

Jiang Che shoved the half-smoked cigarette butt into Chen Yunsong's hand, hopped on the tricycle, and dashed into the neighborhood.

Chen Yunsong looked at the cigarette butt in his hand, about to curse, but when he turned around, he saw two familiar figures not far away, looking at him with unfamiliar eyes...

"Little Che, did Chen Yunsong come looking for you just now?" As soon as she got home and saw Jiang Che was there, Chen Feirong's mood improved significantly.

"Yeah, he came to deliver something for me." Jiang Che, who was washing his face and brushing his teeth in the bathroom, replied.

"I just saw him smoking at the gate. Isn't he younger than you? Not even an adult yet and already daring to smoke, won't he smoke... I've already told his parents about it! Chen Kai and Cai Li are really something, always out driving, not caring about their kid." Chen Yunsong's parents are truck drivers, and their family is quite well-off, but they're rarely home. Chen Feirong used to be on the same street as Chen Yan, and after Jiang Che and Chen Yunsong became close, the two families got to know each other well again.

"Pfft!"

Hearing his mom's words, Jiang Che spat toothpaste foam all over the mirror.

"What happened?"

Old Jiang came over to check out the commotion.

Jiang Che waved his hand: "Nothing, just choked!"

That night.

Chen Yunsong called Jiang Che 99 times.

Jiang Che didn't answer a single one...

The next day, when they met again, Chen Yunsong had panda eyes.

Jiang Che acted as if nothing happened: "Is your dad home? Say hi to Uncle for me after school."

"Jiang Che, damn you!" Chen Yunsong immediately started chasing him, but Jiang Che was already prepared and took off running...

The classroom was chaotic during the morning self-study. Today, Su Rongyin came to school, and she could walk now, though still with a limp.

Jiang Che rushed into the classroom.

At the same time, Su Rongyin stood up.

"Rong... Su, do you need anything? Want me to help?" Next to her, Qin Xiaolong stood up immediately.

Su Rongyin didn't even glance at him, limping over to Jiang Che's desk, handing over the lunchbox in her hand: "Jiang Che, I brought you breakfast, my mom made it, it's still warm, eat it while it's hot!"

Crack, Qin Xiaolong's heart shattered, almost spitting blood. Not just him, but almost all the boys in the class felt their hearts break.

Chen Yunsong, who had rushed in to have a 1V1 man-to-man showdown with Jiang Che, saw this scene and forgot all about seeking revenge, staring wide-eyed at the scene.

Did he see it wrong?

It used to be Jiang Che bringing meals for Su Rongyin, and she often complained about the taste...

How come today it's reversed, with Su Rongyin bringing a meal for Jiang Che?

And the meal was made by Su Rongyin's mom!

Could it be... something really happened between them when he delivered the homework yesterday?

A strong surge of anger welled up in Qin Xiaolong's heart, but it was directed at Gu Dafei. He was filled with resentment, hating Gu Dafei for not letting him deliver the papers and teach the lessons yesterday, even though he had volunteered!

If Gu Dafei had let him go, would Su Rongyin be standing in front of his desk now?

Looking at the thermos lunchbox extended in front of him, Jiang Che was also surprised, raising his eyes to glance at Su Rongyin in astonishment.
