Chapter Fourteen: Once Wildly in Love
After the art competition, Lin Yuchen didn't need to go to the dance studio due to her foot injury. When she was bored, she picked up a brush and painted on paper, searching for the familiar feeling of painting that had disappeared in the depths of her palm lines, missing the beautiful time that had passed.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it's already been several years. Some beautiful memories have settled at the bottom of the invisible deep sea, while painful pasts always entangle every sleepless night without end.
"Hey! Xiao Yu, what are you doing?" Xavia suddenly tapped Lin Yuchen's shoulder from behind, interrupting her thoughts.
"Vivian, you scared me to death!" Lin Yuchen said with a hint of annoyance, glancing at Xia Weiya who was grinning from ear to ear.
"What are you doing? Painting? You can paint?" Xavia's face was filled with incredulity, how did she not know that she could paint?
"Yes, my brother taught me, but I didn't draw very well." She remembered the time when her brother held her hand and taught her to paint, that was the happiest moment for her, she could stay young forever, and be spoiled in her brother's arms. But now, some things are slowly changing, and some things have already been lost.
Growth seems to be able to change many things in just one night. Whether she likes it or not.
"You have an older brother?" She rarely heard her mention her family, and she had assumed it was because they weren't from a noble family that she didn't want to bring up her personal affairs.
"Yes, my brother is an excellent and gentle person." Just like Prince Charming, he shines so brightly that people dare not look directly at him. Since she was young, she has been proud of having such a brother, and her brother is also the goal she wants to pursue and surpass.
"You always seem to have a very happy expression, I've always wanted to know what makes you smile so happily." This is also the reason why she liked her from the first sight, she can be happy for a whole day because of small happiness, if it were her, she couldn't do that.
"What's wrong with me? I don't know, I just feel happy! Maybe it's because I'm not too greedy. She leaned her head on Xia Weiya's shoulder, Lin Yuchen closed her eyes and smiled happily. The happiness she wanted was simple."
Too beautiful happiness, it's easy to get drowned. If one day it's lost, the pain will be even more thorough. She deeply understands that feeling, so she wants to live a simpler life.
"You're too naive and easily bullied!" After being with her for so long, she wouldn't know that the real Lin Yuchen is actually a very kind person. It's precisely because of her naivety that she gets bullied by those people! Thinking back to last time's incident, she felt hatred that made her teeth ache!
"Hey, it's okay! By the way, Vivian, I have something to ask you." Knowing she was still bothered by what happened that day, Lin Yuchen hurriedly changed the subject.
"What's up? You ask." Xia Weiya leaned against the wall, looked at Lin Yuchen who was leaning on her shoulder, and then lifted her head with a happy smile. When she was with him, she could always feel those small happiness that she had neglected.
"Senpai... he seems to be very cold towards senpai, the him I know doesn't seem like this." Remembering that day's senpai's cold expression, she felt scared. The gentle and noble prince she saw under the Cinnamomum camphora tree wasn't like this.
"Ah...this..." When she asked about that matter, Xia Weiya forced a smile, unsure whether or not to tell her the truth.
"Vivian? Is there something you can't say?" She raised her head to see Vivian's hesitant expression, and she didn't know what was troubling her.
"Light rain, actually we don't want to mention this matter." Xue Weiya closed her eyes as she recalled the past. The high-ranking members of the student council all knew about it, but they all kept their mouths shut.
"Why? If it brings up unpleasant memories for you, then don't say anything, it's okay." Seeing Xiaowei's painful expression, Lin Yuchen felt a pang in his heart.
"Actually, Xinyi was Yan's ex-girlfriend." As she forced out these words, she seemed to see again the terrifying scene of Yan Ziyu falling into a pool of blood three years ago. The fear of losing him spread out again like an avalanche.
