At this time, the rain was falling into beads, and there were no people enjoying the cool air by the Qingshui River, making it look particularly deserted.

But sitting on a big rock by the river was a slender girl with long hair, wearing the summer uniform of Lancheng No. 1 Middle School.

It's raining now, but this girl is just sitting here without moving away. This is not right!

Tingyun quickly walked down the steps and walked towards the girl.

Because he was afraid of disturbing her, Tingyun walked very lightly and walked slowly to a few meters behind her.

From this angle, he could see her profile.

This girl is actually Liyue-senpai!

At this time, she completely lost her usual leisurely calmness and her usual peaceful smile.

She sat on the stone, hugged her knees with her hands, and curled up into a ball.

She stared blankly at the river. Even in the rain, Zingyun could see the tears on her face.

She shed tears silently in this miserable wind and rain. Occasionally she sobbed, and her body trembled slightly.

The river water surged up in waves, covering her sandaled feet, and then receded, but she seemed not to feel it.

Tingyun was surprised when he recognized her at first glance:

Senior Liyue, what’s so sad about her that she wants to come here and cry alone?

I’m so sad that I can’t even care about the rain.

Her appearance made him a little worried.

He didn't dare to walk away, fearing that she might get upset.

He didn't dare to rush up to persuade her, because he knew that she definitely didn't want people she knew to see her sadness.

So, he just stood there silently, looking at her.

Thousands of small pits were made in the river water by the raindrops, like countless turbulent thoughts and unspeakable sadness.

The river was empty and lonely, and her small size made her look even more fragile and helpless.

Tingyun looked at it with some pity in his heart, hoping to help her.

Li Xue cried for a long time, then suddenly stood up and took a step toward the river.

Tingyun was so shocked that he couldn't care anymore. He rushed up and grabbed her arm: "Senior Lixue!"

Li Xue was startled and suddenly turned to look at him.

Her eyes were red from crying, full of sadness, a bit surprised, and a bit embarrassed.

She must be embarrassed when he sees her now.

Tingyun let go of her arm and said cautiously: "Senior Lixue, have you encountered any difficulty?"

Li Xue quickly turned her head to Ling's side, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and then turned back to face him: "I'm fine, I'm just not in a good mood."

Tingyun saw that she didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions and just said sincerely:

"Sister, if you need help with anything, just tell me and don't feel embarrassed."

Li Xue smiled gratefully at him, but this smile seemed forced: "Thank you, but I'm really fine."

Does this look like nothing is wrong?

Tingyun is very careful about distance in his dealings with others, and he never makes small talk, but today, he has some unhappiness impulse:

"Although people most of the time don't want others to see their sadness.

"But when you can't help it anymore, just cry when you cry, and you just see when you see it. What does it matter? Why should you suppress yourself so much? This is not a shameful thing!"

Li Xue was slightly surprised, as if she didn't expect him to say such words, and couldn't help but explain:

"I don't feel ashamed, I just..."

It’s just something, she didn’t say it for a while.

Stop the cloud and continue:

"You just feel that others want to see you happy and strong.

"You feel that your unhappiness and lack of strength are an annoyance to those who see them. Your asking for help is also causing trouble for others.

"So, you never show your emotions in front of others and never ask others for help.

"Sister, are you tired from living like this? Are you aggrieved?"

Li Xue was shocked. She didn't expect that he would analyze her so straightforwardly. She didn't expect that he would analyze her so closely and profoundly.

It was as if he really understood what kind of person she was and could see the cowardice and uneasiness in her heart.

She looked at him blankly for a while and then said: "How did you know?"

How did he know?

Maybe it's because he also has an uneasiness in his heart that he doesn't want to show to others, and a stubborn self-esteem.

He did not answer the question, but softened his tone:

"Sister, have you ever thought that maybe your asking for help will not cause any trouble to others. Maybe others are willing to help you, just like you are willing to help others.

"Perhaps, when others see that you are unhappy and not strong, they will not avoid you at all, let alone feel disgusted. Instead, they will be willing to comfort you, just like you comfort others.

"Sister, you should have confidence in yourself and believe that you deserve to be treated well. You should also have confidence in others. I believe that there are many people who are willing to treat you well!"

He thought for a while and added: "Besides, you don't need to care so much about other people's opinions. What you should care about is your own feelings!"

Li Xue's eyes were still wet, as if they contained dew, but this time it was because of emotion and shock:

"No one has ever said anything like this to me. It sounds really inspiring. Tingyun, thank you very much!"

Tingyun looked at her seriously:

"If you think what I said makes some sense, then in the future, try to release your true emotions, express your true needs, and don't live so repressed!"

Li Xue nodded heavily: "I will try to make changes."

Tingyun smiled at her: "Then let's go, the rain is getting heavier and heavier."

"Okay."

In just a short time, the two of them were already soaked, and their hair was wet and stuck to their foreheads.

The two stepped on the muddy river beach and walked towards the steps.

Tingyun still felt frightened when she thought of the step she took towards the river just now, so she warned her again:

"Senior sister, if you have anything you can't get over in the future, you can tell me. If you don't want to talk about those things, talk about other things and you will feel better."

Hearing this, Li Xue turned her head and looked at him: "Do you think I was going to do something impulsive just now? I promise, I really wasn't. I was just crying to vent my emotions."

Her expression was very sincere, and Tingyun looked at her carefully for a while:

"It's fine if you don't. Remember what I just said. If you're in a bad mood, you can come to me."

Li Xue's mood had calmed down a lot at this time, and she could already joke: "This is not in line with your persona of a cold and aloof male god!"

Tingyun glanced at her: "Who doesn't have a vest yet? I see you in another way, and in exchange, you have to see me in another way, right?"

Li Xue smiled, not saying anything, but her expression was obviously much more relaxed and happy.

Sometimes, the relationship between people becomes different just because of one thing, because they share a common secret.

After this incident, the two still didn't interact much in school, but when they met, they would always look at each other and smile.
