Xia Chuan was a little unresponsive, but when he realized that so many people were present today and Qiao Niannian handled it this way to avoid suspicion with him, he was still a little disappointed.

In fact, the reason why he rushed here today was just because he was unwilling to give up so easily. Ever since Qiao Niannian said that she didn't want him to disturb her anymore, he began to pay attention to her silently.

Qiao Niannian's monthly exam scores improved a lot, and that's when Xia Chuan really noticed the difference in Qiao Niannian.

However, Xia Chuan could leave her alone and work hard to become better, but he couldn't just sit back and wait for death. Xia Chuan never went to Shu Yihan's birthday in high school in her previous life, or her birthday after college. In fact, Shu Yihan had an affair with Qiao Qiao in high school. Niannian invited him to go, but at that time he only thought Qiao Niannian's behavior was childish and ridiculous, so he didn't agree.

This time, Shu Yihan didn't invite him to her birthday. If Shen Ge hadn't been there, he wouldn't have known that they were celebrating their birthday here.

The atmosphere was terrifyingly silent for a moment. At this time, Jin Yu said loudly, "Okay, okay, if everyone is here, our birthday girl Shu Yihan will make a wish and cut the cake!"

"Yes, yes, Yihan, come on, come on, put on this hat~"

The crowd became lively again, and Qiao Niannian no longer had time to take care of some of the people who were bothering her, she only focused on playing around with Shu Yihan.

In fact, everyone didn't eat much of the whole cake, because they were basically using the cream on it to "revenge" each other, and everyone's face was more or less stained with a little cream.

Lin Ziqian noticed that Yan Zhi was still clean and touched Yan Zhi's cheek unexpectedly. Shu Yihan and Qiao Niannian also came over to join in the fun.

"This is the right thing~, breasts and handsome." Qiao Nian thought, smiling happily.

Looking at Qiao Niannian, who also had cream on his face, his words followed his bright smile, and he slowly integrated into everyone's fun.

Later, everyone slowly started to compete in karaoke, cleaning the cream off their faces, and Qiao Niannian's hair got some on it for some reason, so she went out to find the bathroom to deal with it.

It can be said that we are enemies on a narrow road. Qiao Niannian had just finished her hair and was going back to the private room, when she met Xia Chuan in the corridor who had just come out to use the bathroom.

There was another person beside Xia Chuan, and that was Shen Ge. Shen Ge recognized Qiao Niannian, so he pretended not to pay attention and continued to move forward, while Xia Chuan stopped.

But Qiao Niannian didn't think she had anything to say to Xia Chuan. She just pretended that she didn't see him and was about to walk straight over. However, Xia Chuan stretched out an arm to block Qiao Niannian's way and knocked her against the wall. In the corridor.

As a girl, Qiao Niannian is not short, but she still looks petite in front of Xia Chuan. She raised her eyes and looked at Xia Chuan and said, "I have said it so many times, I think I have told you a lot. Got it, Xia Chuan."

"But, I still don't understand, and I don't want to give up, Qiao Niannian. If you want to work hard and study, I don't have to bother you, but I want to know why..."

"How can there be so many reasons? Shouldn't you be happier like this now? I won't bother you anymore." Qiao Nian thought, and finally looked at Xia Chuan, but there was only doubt and indifference in her eyes.

Happy? Xia Chuan was so angry at these two words that the corners of his mouth twitched. Just as he had always refused to believe that Qiao Niannian was really so determined, why did Qiao Niannian also refuse to believe that he really wanted to get her back? ?

Xia Chuan gave an ugly smile and said, "I really won't feel happy, Nian Nian."

"Um……"

At this time, someone walked through the corridor. Xia Chuan sighed and pulled Qiao Niannian to the stairwell at the end of the corridor.

Even though Qiao Niannian kept struggling along the way, she was finally pulled over, and Xia Chuan never let go of Qiao Niannian's wrist.

He looked at Qiao Niannian sincerely and said, "Why don't you believe my feelings for you now? It was my fault before. I didn't know how to cherish it. It was my feelings for you that were too slow. Now I really

I just want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get back the Qiao Niannian I lost. I will never ignore any of your emotions again. I will accompany you to do what you want.

Things, I want to have a good relationship with you..., can you trust me? Nian Nian."

In fact, Qiao Niannian did not expect that Xia Chuan, who suddenly appeared at Shu Yihan's birthday today, would pull her over to express his feelings like this.

If the current Qiao Niannian is really just the 17-year-old Qiao Niannian, then she may believe what Xia Chuan said and even be moved to tears, but now she is no longer the 17-year-old Qiao Niannian in mind.

This is not a question of whether Qiao Niannian still believes in him.

"Xia Chuan, it's not a question of whether I believe you or not, or how on earth you have to believe it. I really let you go. I'm not angry or showing off my temper, let alone love or hate you. So

I'm taking revenge on you."

"It's just that I have really let go of you. So, even if this is a new life, and you are trying hard to be nice to me and have a sense of presence around me, I don't feel that you will be moved or that your heart will beat. I

What I hope most now is that I will have nothing to do with you anymore, so can you understand?"

Qiao Niannian's words caused Xia Chuan's pupils to shake violently. He took a step back unconsciously and loosened his grip on Qiao Niannian's wrist. After a moment, he raised his eyes again and said, "It's okay, read

Nian, I said, this time, it will be me chasing you."

"I won't - give up on you."

"Then what do you want me to do before you give up?" Qiao Niannian blurted out, looking at Xia Chuan intently.

Xia Chuan opened his mouth several times but didn't say anything. Qiao Niannian just looked at him.

"Qiao Niannian, unless you fall in love with someone else, unless I witness you walking into another person's arms, I will not give up..., never." Xia Chuan said, his eyes firm and sad.

Qiao Niannian, who used to be so eager for Xia Chuan to have a special crush on Qiao Niannian, was now indifferent and couldn't even hold back her laughter.

She was laughing that she and Xia Chuan seemed to have loved hard, but they were not in love; she was laughing at herself that she had really let go now; and she was even laughing at Xia Chuan's lack of appreciation.

Then, Qiao Niannian raised her eyes and looked at Xia Chuan with a smile, and said, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Qiao Niannian turned and left. When she pulled the door handle of the stairwell, she paused and said to Xia Chuan, "Xia Chuan, actually, it's better not to spend any more time on me now. Why don't you

Think carefully about what you want to do in the future if you have this chance to start over again."

Qiao Niannian walked out, but Xia Chuan stayed there for a long time. He just felt that he had really lost Qiao Niannian forever. The gap between them was really big now...

When Xia Chuan began to realize that he had actually long been accustomed to Qiao Niannian's company and had gradually become dependent on her and deeply loved her, she had silently moved away from Xia Chuan step by step, but he never realized this.

Back in the private room, Shu Yihan actually held a little kitten in her arms. When she saw this scene as soon as she came in, Qiao Niannian was a little surprised. The feeling of being a little uncomfortable just now was relieved.

When Shu Yihan saw her coming in, she waved her hands excitedly, "Nian Nian! Come here quickly. Why have you been gone for so long?"

Almost subconsciously, Qiao Niannian said, "Because it's difficult to clean up."

Qiao Niannian didn't say anything about Xia Chuan pulling her away, and asked further, "This little kitten? Could it be a birthday gift from someone here? Who is it!"

"Your deskmate, Jin Yu, gave it to you."

Hearing this, Qiao Niannian's eyes widened. She looked at Jin Yu who was just two people away. She was really surprised and a little speechless, wasn't she? A straight man like Jin Yu actually sent her off.

A kitten?

"Shu Yihan, if you haven't given it a name yet, please give it a name." Jin Yu said.

"Otherwise, let's call him Doubao, and we can be sisters with Niannian and Yan Zhiyang's Roubao~"

"Are you too lazy to think of a name..." Qiao Niannian muttered.

It's just that her muttering voice was too low, and no one paid attention. They only focused on looking at the milky bean buns. At this time, the door of the private room opened again, and the person who came in was Xia Chuan.

After he came in, he just put on his coat, greeted a few classmates, and then came to tell Shu Yihan that he had something to do and needed to leave first.

Looking at Qiao Niannian who was focused on teasing the cat, Shu Yihan suddenly felt a little suspicious. Did she meet Xia Chuan after coming back for such a long time?

"I'll leave first, Shu Yihan, have fun."

"Oh, okay, thank you, be careful on the road!" Shu Yihan came back to her senses and replied with a fake smile.

When Xia Chuan left, his eyes moved to Qiao Niannian, and finally to Yan Zhi. Under the dim light, he couldn't see the color of his eyes clearly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He walked out slowly.

Lin Ziqian, who had been beside Yan Zhi, had a bold idea at this time. He poked Yan Zhi and said, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with Xia Chuan who has been coming and going today?"

"have."

"Tell me, did Qiao Niannian run into Xia Chuan when he was out for so long just now? Moreover! Maybe he even broke the story with Qiao Niannian again, but was rejected by Qiao Niannian, so he

Let's go in a hurry!" Lin Ziqian whispered, although his voice was small, it was very exciting.

Hearing this, Yan Zhi looked at Qiao Niannian and fell into thinking, as if... what Lin Ziqian said was very possible.

"So, Yan Zhi, isn't your expression towards Qiao Niannian a bit too plain?" Lin Ziqian asked again.

Seeing how happily he and Shu Yihan were playing with bean bags, and thinking of Xia Chuan who blatantly gave flowers to Qiao Niannian when he arrived, a strong jealousy arose in his heart. In comparison, it seemed dull? But now he

He and Qiao Niannian seem to be in good shape.

"What else are you thinking about? Let's go!" Lin Ziqian said, pushing Yan Zhi forward and sitting next to Qiao Niannian.

Seeing Yan Zhi coming over, Qiao Niannian was also very happy and told him that meat buns and bean buns might become good partners in the future! When she said this, Qiao Niannian was very excited and her eyes seemed to twinkle.

of stars.

"That Qiao Niannian, actually Yan Zhi has been tutoring you for so long, and there are a lot of things that need to be emphasized to you, right Yan Zhi."

"What's the emphasis?" Yan Zhi asked Lin Ziqian a little confused.

Then Lin Ziqian winked and Yan Zhi continued to be confused. Qiao Niannian really didn't understand what was going on between the two tablemates, so she continued to look at the beanbags.

However, Lin Ziqian was a little bit annoyed that iron could not become steel. No, why did Yan Zhi seem to have become cowardly? When he saw the beer on the table in front of him, his eyes lit up, he picked it up and poured it into the cup and handed it to Yan Zhi.

"My deskmate, would you like some? Drinking makes you brave! Tell the truth after drinking! You'll always be successful!"

"I can't drink."

"Just give it a little bit and get that feeling, trust me!"

"It's not like that, Lin Ziqian, I really can't drink."

"Oh, Yan Zhi! Just a little bit, you try..."

In the end, under Lin Ziqian's tugging and rubbing, Yan Zhi still drank a few sips of beer, but Yan Zhi's reaction next made Lin Ziqian really confused.

Yan Zhi was seen falling towards Qiao Niannian's shoulder.

Then, Qiao Niannian looked at Yan Zhi who was lying on her shoulder, and her whole body seemed to be frozen. After a while, she realized that Yan Zhi was lying on her shoulder! What happened to him?

"Lin Ziqian, what's wrong with him?"
