After saying that, he covered his face and ran off.

After separating, he did not smoke again. He did not want to think of his blushing face every time he lit a cigarette.

But many years later, when they met again, the two of them, their personalities completely changed, and he, whom she had always thought she could not stop smoking, was completely cut off from the smoke, she smoked indifferently in front of him, looking at him through the smoke with a pair of eyes that were completely unfamiliar and cold.

After he had forcefully taken her away yesterday, she had suddenly attacked him like a wounded beast. However, no matter how much she had cursed and teased him, he didn't budge an inch.

He drove the car to the beach and dragged her to the beach, where she used to say that she would feel better if something unpleasant came up and shouted at the sea, something he had never done. After separating, he could only rely on this method to release the pressure.

"Shu Can, I've finally found you!"

He used all his strength to shout out to the deep blue sea, but she just stood there calmly smoking a cigarette, coldly spitting out two words.

"Childish!"

He froze. He thought he had finally caught up with her happy pace, but it turned out to be a different story.

The current her had long since changed. The girl who once had a bright and carefree smile had long since disappeared. The current her coldly refused to allow anyone to see her from thousands of miles away.

He took a step forward in an attempt to embrace her. After so many years, he had finally found her. No matter what she transformed into, he would always take good care of her in the future. However, she took a few steps back and coldly said,

"Sir, please show some respect, I have a boyfriend!"

Even though he had condoned her indifference to him time and time again, he was furious to hear such words.

Even if it was just an ordinary friend, after so many years of not seeing each other, they should still be smiling at each other. Why was she so cruel to him?

"Boyfriend?"

Resisting the urge to rip her to shreds, he stepped closer to her, one step at a time.

"Yes, I love him so!"

She glared back at him defiantly. He could clearly see the pain that flashed through her eyes. It was not a feeling he had purposely made to lie to her, but the pain of truly loving someone.

He was no longer cold enough and could no longer remain calm. He took out the lighter that she had given him back then and shouted at her.

"Don't you know that giving a man a lighter means that he won't marry you? What's the meaning of telling me now that you love someone else?

Everyone said that Dragon One was calm and collected, but that was because no one could control him. Except for this woman with the thick makeup on her face, she was driving him crazy.

"You won't marry?"

She suddenly burst out laughing as if she had heard a ridiculous joke. Her face was filled with ridicule.

"What a joke, it's just a random gift, but you can actually come up with such a ridiculous allegory!"

She circled around him and sized him up. Then, she stood in front of him and said with a smile,

"Looking at your current appearance, you seem to be doing pretty well. You shouldn't be lacking in women, right? Why are you making fun of me?"

Although she was smiling, that smile didn't reach his eyes at all. He only saw indifference and ridicule.

"You think I'm joking?"

He glared at her, gritting his teeth.

She looked back at him silently.

He could no longer control his anger. He suddenly pulled her into his embrace, lowered his head and kissed that stubborn little mouth, greedily tasting her cold and clear taste.

Of course, her rude actions were met with her intense struggles and resistance, but he ignored it, only letting go when the smell of blood came from his lips.

"Xuan Xiehan, why are you so f * cking shameless!"

She slapped him angrily, then glared at him in disgust and turned to run away.

He stood there watching her run away, crying, his heart pierced by a sharp needle.

He didn't know how many cigarettes he was smoking. In a trance, he saw Zhuang Huili pass a pack of cigarettes in front of him, and he just smoked them one by one until the story ended. Only then did he realize that the ashtray was already filled with cigarette butts.

As he slowly turned around from the French window, Zhuang Shili squinted his black eyes and glanced at the pained Long Xiehan.

"I'll let you have a day off to take care of your own matters!"

Long Xiehan struggled to get up from the sofa.

"However, the business talks later …"

He knew that Zhuang Huili had never been fond of attending such occasions, and most of the time, he was the one who attended them on his behalf.

"I'll go!"

Zhuang Shili interrupted him indifferently.

"Go!"

Long Xiehan withdrew the pain from his face, placed his right hand on his left atrium, bent down and gave a deep bow, then turned around and left.

The most noble form of respect for the Dragon Gate was something that Zhuang Shili would always be able to bear.

After lunch, Autumn Leaf prepared to go to class.

Only when she walked out of the apartment did she realize that the sky had begun to snow, piece by piece, quietly falling from the vast sky.

The chill hit her, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around her clothes and sigh. The weather was not normal these days, and it was already March, yet there was still snow, and there were even signs of it growing bigger. She quickened her pace as she walked towards the bus stop.

In the bus, she suddenly received a call from the counselor, telling her to go to the office before class.

She was somewhat puzzled. She didn't know why the counselor suddenly called for her. Could it be that it was really about the war between Shu Can and Zhao Ziqing?

If that was the case, the first person he should be looking for would be Shu Can. However, Shu Can didn't mention this when he called in the morning. That meant the school still hadn't found out about this matter.

The uneasiness in her heart made her uneasy, and before she hung up, the counselor's sigh made her even more terrified.

Thus, before she even reached the school, she was directly invited to the office by the counselor.

In the office, the counselor was sitting at his desk and staring at the computer in front of her with a serious expression. In the office, the counselor was sitting at his desk and staring at the computer in front of him with a serious expression.

"Lin Qiuye's left hand is playing with his big brother, while his right hand is playing with the handsome rich man!"

Autumn Leaf widened her eyes in surprise as she looked at the screen on the computer. The scene of Duanmu Yi hugging her at the entrance of the district that day was uploaded to the internet.

The extremely clear picture, coupled with the eye-catching title, was indeed explosive. Not long later, the people following the post were about to post an explosive post.

If the previous incident was a malicious plot, then this one probably wouldn't make sense.

Because the two of them were hugging, the scene was extremely clear. Everyone recognized Duanmu Yi's face, the president of Duanmu Group, the amorous young master. No one had any objections when he said that she was involved with him.

At the end of the post, the poster said that she hit Zhao Ziqing and even posted a few pictures of her getting hurt.

It was clearly Shu Can who had attacked her, but the poster seemed to be targeting her, pinning all the crimes that didn't belong to her onto her head.

The result was as one might well imagine, having an affair with a different man, and with the evil act of hitting someone, she was once again standing on the cusp of public opinion. She estimated that if she were to walk out now, she would be drowned in other people's saliva.

Autumn Leaf's body swayed. She held onto the table by her side, and her vision turned black.

Right now, she didn't want to explain anything. In any case, everything was pale and powerless, so she could only bite her lips and hang her head. Her trembling body was like a withered leaf that could be blown away by the cold wind at any time.

"Student Lin Qiuye, after the school's leaders have discussed it over and over again …."

The counselor glanced at her with incomparable regret, seemingly unable to bear it any longer.

"I think it's best if you take a break from school and go home for a while, and reflect on your actions!"

Autumn Leaf blankly raised her head to look at the counselor. Other than hearing the words "go home from school," she couldn't hear anything else.

Stop school and go home! Stop school and go home! The four words echoed in the empty brain.

She could hear the crash of her heart.

The counselor continued to say earnestly,

"Although your grades are outstanding and your studies are diligent, the fact that your gossip has appeared on the forums time and time again has already had a negative impact on the school's reputation. It's said that no wind will cause no waves …"

"Teacher, I understand!"

Before the counselor could finish speaking, Autumn Leaf hastily interrupted him. She turned around and quickly ran out of the office. She heard several female teachers' comments from behind her.

"These young female students now, I really wonder what they are thinking …"

She walked in a daze through the swirling snow, as if she could see other people's fingers pointing at her when she got there.

At the corner of a teaching block, she met a few girls. She recognized some of them, the girls who had humiliated her in the restaurant with Zhao Ziqing.

Ignoring them, she turned around and continued walking forward. However, they were all standing in front of her, laughing loudly.

"Lin Qiu Ye, what else do you have to say?" This time, I am afraid that even if you remain silent, you will still be unable to calm things down! "
