Chapter 65: Sense of Guilt

  It started with some polite opening remarks, followed by a detailed description of the social gathering. Since many girls at Matsuura Girls' School wanted to see them, the venue was set up on the large lawn at the southernmost part of the school, where student council members would be stationed to prevent the girls from crossing over, but they could sit and rest on the grass or benches outside, and also receive cake.

  Su Yanran wasn't interested in this aspect to begin with, and let out a sigh. Before she could even close her mouth, the president of the student council, Yuna, turned around and stared at her intensely. Su Yanran immediately shrugged: "Sorry."

  Yuna didn't say anything, but continued to state the schedule of the fellowship. The time was set after 3 pm, which happened to be the time for afternoon tea, and twenty excellent girls from Matsuura Girls' School had already made their own specialty pastries, which would be presented to them at that time.

  Su Yanran endured it without making a sound, but after listening for a while, she couldn't hold back anymore and sat there with her cheeks puffed out. Alas, isn't this even more boring?

  Finally finished speaking, she immediately relaxed and fell onto the sofa to rest. Su Yan helped her bring over a cup of tea: "Brother, you must have stayed up too late reading last night." Su Yan's mouth curled in distaste: "It's fine, yesterday I was working on the Seven Bridges of K?nigsberg problem, drew many diagrams, still couldn't solve it."

  "Brother, you're really boring, we don't need to learn this kind of question." Su Yan said helplessly.

  Su Yanran raised a smiling face: "I just want to try, you know I like doing these things."

  Su Yan's heart sank slightly as he listened to this. Su Yang still liked going to an all-girls school, she still liked living a carefree life on her own, but in the end, she came to an all-boys high school for his sake, and even disguised herself as a boy for his sake. It was all because he was too useless that he ended up making things difficult for her, and also for others. Now, she couldn't do what she truly yearned for, but could only focus on solving these problems.

  If I could try a bit harder...

  "Brother, from now on, I will study hard and get into the best university." Su Yan suddenly stood up straight and solemnly declared: "I will work even harder and not hold you back."

  Her eyes suddenly darkened, she stood up abruptly, looking at him with a serious expression: "Don't always say these things, no burden or not, no trouble or not. You are my younger brother, taking care of you is what I should do. Moreover, I stayed because I wanted to take care of you, if one day I really get tired of it, even if I insist on leaving, Dad and Mom can't stop me. So, don't always think about these things, just enjoy your school life."

  Enjoy school life... His eyes were a little moist. Su Yan actually knew very well that he was not as smart as Su Yang, nor did he have her athletic ability, but in order to avoid giving her trouble, he had been working hard, hoping to alleviate his guilt. Yes, it was guilt, monopolizing all her time, not giving her any breathing space. This was his guilt, the guilt of being a younger brother.

  But today, after hearing what she said, it's as if the locked-up heart has been released, he can slow down his pace, doesn't have to constantly whip himself, and can take a breath.

  Yes, stop and take in the beautiful scenery around you.

  Maybe there is a butterfly dancing gracefully.
