Chapter 55 Whose Heart is Aching

  Mo Shaokun returned to the classroom with a bitter expression, and Chen Hai and Xu Jie rushed over to surround him.

  "How was it? What did Liu Bing Shan say?" Chen Hai asked.

  Liu Bing Shan is a nickname given by classmates to Liu Juan, who always has a cold face in front of everyone as if they all owe her money.

  Mo Shaokun leaned back in his chair, his face twisted in a mixture of pain and pleading. He gazed deeply at Chen Hai, then suddenly grabbed his arm and exclaimed: "Hai Zi, save me, brother! I need your help!"

  Chen Hai was taken aback for a moment, then with a serious face said: "Is it that Liu Bing Shan won't let you off? No problem! Tomorrow we'll go to the mall and buy some high-end goods to give to her, I'll lend you the money first! I don't believe she can resist our sugar-coated cannonballs!"

  Perhaps due to the influence of his businessman father, in Chen Hai's view, there is nothing that can't be done with money in this world! As long as you're willing to put in the effort, whether it's an iceberg or a volcano, everything can be flattened for her!

  Mo Shaokun had long been accustomed to Chen Hai's somewhat distorted worldview, and he shook his head, gazing at Chen Hai with a pitiful expression: "This trick probably won't work. Teacher Liu asked me to fill in the last program of the welcoming party, but I really don't have that ability, bro. Haizi, didn't you always say you're proficient in singing, dancing, and playing instruments?"

  Chen Hai's face stiffened, and he let out a dry laugh as he shook off Mo Shaokun's hand that was grabbing his sleeve. As he retreated backwards, he said, "Whatever, bro, although I'm good at everything, this kind of opportunity to show my face is still yours to take. My dad has always taught me to keep a low profile." After finishing speaking, he returned to his own seat and didn't even glance at Mo Shaokun.

  Mo Shaokun was helpless and turned to look at Xu Jie, but before he could even open his mouth, Xu Jie said: "Don't even think about it! I won't go up there and lose face. You'd better just give up on your own."

  Looking at the two of them being so unrighteous, Mo Shaokun was really helpless this time. If his dormitory brothers didn't help him, who could he still count on?

  Yinfei walked in from outside, hugging her textbook, today she still had her long hair tied up high, paired with a light blue sports suit, exuding the vitality of youth all over her body.

  When he saw her, Mo Shaokun's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten her? She was a great talent!

  But then Mo Shaokun hesitated again, and he didn't know when Yin Fei's attitude towards him had gradually changed. They were no longer as friendly as before, and even their communication with each other became less and less.

  This made Mo Shaokun very conflicted. As he watched Yin Fei become increasingly cold towards him, he felt a great discomfort in his heart, but at the same time, he repeatedly told himself that this was for the best.

  His reunion with Yinfei had left him utterly entangled, and facing Yinfei and Milan, the two women who had both occupied an extremely important place in his heart, he was at a loss as to how to make a choice.

  Since he can't take the initiative to choose, then he'll passively endure it, so he decided to let everything go with the flow.

  He was uncertain whether this life would continue the trajectory of the previous one, and if either of them wouldn't like him as they had in their past lives, then this problem would naturally be solved.

  Isn't everything now exactly what he had hoped for?

  But when he saw Yin Fei getting closer and closer to Cui Zhi Jie these days, he realized that he had overestimated his own tolerance!

  Every time he sees them eating together, strolling around the campus, Mo Shaokun feels a sharp pain, as if his heart is being grasped and squeezed tightly in someone's hand!

  He even had the urge to rush forward and hold Yin Fei tightly in his arms, letting everything else go to hell! But every time this happened, Milin's figure would appear in his mind.

  He has no right to force Yin Fei like that! He even more has no reason to interfere with Yin Fei's choice! Because he can't give Yin Fei any promise.

  During this time, he was so crazy about skipping class, not only because the supermarket was really busy, but also because he had some evasive thoughts. He tried to shift his attention to the things in the supermarket, thinking that way he wouldn't think about it anymore, and after a long time everything would naturally fade away.

  But he had to admit, he failed. When busy, he might temporarily forget everything, but when he calmed down, what appeared in front of him was always the scene of Yinfei with others.

  Many times he even had some absurd ideas, if Yinfei and Milan could be held in his arms at the same time, how perfect it would be. But he knew this was impossible! Whether it was Yinfei or Milan, they might have different personalities, but they were equally proud deep down, and they absolutely couldn't tolerate something like that happening.

  "Why are you always staring at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

  Jian Mo Shaokun had been staring at himself in a daze, and a hint of joy flashed across Yin Fei's eyes, but her face still pretended to be calm as she asked.

  Mo Shaokun snapped out of it and once again hid everything in his heart, forcing a strong smile as he said to Yin Fei: "N-nothing."

  Yin Fei gave him a white eye and lowered her head to review today's lesson.

  After struggling for a long time, Mo Shaokun finally decided to ask Yin Fei for help, he really had no other choice. In his opinion, even if the relationship between them was not as good as before, Yin Fei should still be willing to help him considering they had been desk mates for six years.

  "Yin Fei, let's discuss something." Mo Shaokun leaned his body towards Yin Fei and said in a low voice.

  Yin Fei raised her head and looked at him.

  "In two days, it's the welcoming party, but our class program is still short of one. Teacher Liu handed this difficult task over to me. You also know that I'm really not good at performing, can you help me out?"

  Yin Fei's originally gentle expression gradually stiffened as she stared at Mo Shaokun and asked in a light tone, "Is there something else besides this?"

  "It's gone, you play the piano so well, just go up and play a piece casually."

  "Sorry, I'm not interested." Yin Fei hummed softly and lowered her head again, ignoring Mo Shaokun.

  Mo Shaokun was taken aback, he didn't expect Yin Fei to refuse him so bluntly. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn't say a word.

  Forget it, if others don't want to, why force them? A bitter smile spread across his lips as he shook his head.

  Yinfei lowered her head, looking somewhat unwell, and no one could see the moisture welling up in her eyes.

  Is it only when he needs help that he thinks of himself? Yin Fei's heart was filled with bitterness.

  This period of time was not easy for Mo Shaokun, but had she ever had it easy?

  All along she thought that between her and Mo Shaokun was a purely friendly relationship, although in the past some people had joked about them, but Yin Fei had never taken it to heart.

  It wasn't until Mo Shaokun was injured and hospitalized that Yin Fei discovered that he had left a deep impression on her heart, but she didn't know when it started.

  He's hurt, and it pains him so much that he wishes he was the one who got hurt instead!

  He went back to recover from his injuries and left school. He would often miss him and couldn't help but ask others about his news.

  Yin Fei could have chosen a better school, in a bigger city. But when filling out her college application, she inexplicably chose the same school as Mo Shao Kun.

  When she met Mo Shaokun again on the university campus, that inexpressible excitement made her finally certain that she had already fallen for Mo Shaokun.

  Just as she hadn't figured out how to face it, Wei Qianqian's appearance gave her a strong sense of crisis.

  Wei Qianqian was originally a very beautiful girl, and she was also very good at taking care of herself. Her daily attire was carefully selected and meticulously matched. In the eyes of many boys, although her appearance was not as good as Yin Fei's, she was more attractive.

  When facing Mo Shaokun, she always has a gentle and amiable appearance. No matter what Mo Shaokun says, she will not refute it. No matter what happens, she will always think carefully for Mo Shaokun's sake.

  Although Mo Shaokun's attitude towards Wei Qianqian didn't seem to have changed much, Yin Fei was seriously suspicious of how long he could hold on! After all, such a beautiful and charming woman actively throwing herself at him would be fatally attractive to any man.

  Especially that night, after Wei Qianqian made a move in the dormitory, she launched an even more crazy attack on Mo Shaokun. There were also rumors among classmates, and many people suspected that the two of them were actually together, but just didn't make it public yet.

  Yin Fei was anxious, but she didn't know what to do. Should she confess directly to Mo Shao Kun? With her pride, she couldn't do it, so under helplessness, she could only seek help from her best friend.

  She told her best friend everything, originally thinking that her best friend would help her come up with a plan. But her best friend's one sentence was like a wake-up call, making her suddenly realize that she had neglected something very important.

  "Feifei, don't mind that Wei Qianqian for now. Can you be certain that Mo Shaokun also likes you?"

  Yin Fei was stunned, holding the receiver, could it be that Mo Shao Kun liked her? They had been desk mates for so many years, sometimes she could feel Mo Shao Kun's concern for her, and even faintly sense that he cared about her deeply.

  But more often she felt that Mo Shao Kun always deliberately kept a certain distance from her.

  "I...I don't know." Yinf replied to her best friend.

  The girlfriend on the other end of the phone sighed and said, "I think what you should do now is not to compete with Wei Qianqian for anything, but to first confirm whether Mo Shaokun also likes you."

  "But what can I do? Can't just go and ask him directly?"

  "This is easy, starting tomorrow you just ignore him, don't take the initiative to find him or even talk to him. Let's see how he reacts first, if he likes you then he will come find you, at least he will ask why you're ignoring him."

  Yin Fei followed her best friend's advice and ignored Mo Shao Kun for the next few days. Every day, she expected Mo Shao Kun to take the initiative to find her, but what disappointed her was that Mo Shao Kun seemed to have not felt any change between them and did nothing out of the ordinary.

  This made Yin Fei feel a bit disheartened, and she dialed her best friend's phone number once again.

  "After learning about the situation, my best friend remained silent for a long time before saying: 'There are two possibilities. One is that he reacts relatively slowly and hasn't noticed anything from this slight change. Two is that he may not have those feelings for you. I suggest you increase the intensity of the stimulation, it's better if you can show more intimacy with other boys. If he still remains unmoved after that, then I advise you to give up.'"

  Yin Fei, who was already at a loss, once again listened to her best friend's words. Coincidentally, Cui Zhijie had been pursuing her during this time, so she accepted his invitation and went out to eat with him, took a walk around the campus together, and always chose times and places where Mo Shaokun was likely to appear.

  Mo Shaokun's behavior disappointed Yin Fei once again. When facing him eating and walking with other boys, he still seemed to be ignoring her as if he hadn't seen her. Yin Fei's heart felt a chill.

  But today, Mo Shaokun finally took the initiative to talk to her, which made Yin Fei very excited. She expected Mo Shaokun to ask her why she had been ignoring him, and she expected him to ask about her relationship with Cui Zhijie. As long as he asked, it would prove that he still cared about her.

  What Yin Fei didn't expect was that Mo Shao Kun came looking for her just to ask for her help...
