In life, people will always encounter many forks in the road, and they need to choose whether to go left or right, but no matter what you choose at the time, you must be mentally prepared to bear all the consequences. Some roads, once you walk on them, there is no room for regret.

"Jian Yan, you are such a bad judge of people! You said that Cheng Anran is not a good person, and you were right. Oh my god, if you were a woman, you would definitely be a scheming bitch!" After coming back, Mingliang went to Jian Yan because of Lin Leyao's depression. After listening to him about what happened in the hospital, her fists "cracked" like a female hooligan.
Jian Yan: "Thanks for the compliment."
As early as when Cheng Anran first took the initiative to talk to Lin Leyao, Jian Yan felt that this girl was not simple. She seemed to be full of scheming, but her tricks were a bit childish. He thought that as long as he watched such a person carefully, he would not cause too much harm to Lin Leyao, so he made a phone call to let Mingliang come in between the two of them. This was also the reason why Mingliang suddenly appeared that day.
Cheng Anran disguised herself very well. Apart from secretly instigating Xu Ying to seduce him and creating internal conflicts in the dormitory, she did not cause much trouble.
However, he returned home a little late that day and was not sure what Cheng Anran had said. Thinking about how Lin Leyao had been avoiding him these days, he felt quite annoyed.
This girl actually dared to hide from him, he must teach her a lesson.
"Jian Yan, can you stop laughing like that? It's so creepy! You're a grown man, but you protect Lin Leyao like a hen every day. Don't you think it's pretentious?" Mingliang couldn't stand Jian Yan's laugh.
She once heard a few girls talking about how seeing Jian Yan's smile was like seeing the brightest sunshine. She wanted to grab the girls' shoulders and shake them, saying, "Little girl, you have to learn how to judge people. Jian Yan's big-tailed wolf-like sunshine can burn you to death!"
"Are you in the mood to care about me? Have you resolved the issue between you and Ma Ruge?" Jian Yan asked back, hitting the nail on the head.
Mingliang, who was showing her teeth and claws just now, shrank instantly. She frowned and asked, "Jian Yan, if I confess to Ma Ruge, will he be scared away? You said that he was very close to Cheng Anran some time ago. Could they really be having an affair?"
Jian Yan: "You think too much. Cheng Anran took the initiative to approach me. I think he wanted to start with Ma Ruge, but he ran into some soft nails in the end."
"That's good. Then you tell me..." Mingliang was about to ask another question when he saw Jian Yan answered a phone call and his expression became terrifying.
He said "I know" and hung up the phone, then looked up at Mingliang, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said, "Yaoyao is in trouble."
"What's the matter?" Mingliang stood up suddenly with a nervous expression.
"Let's go first. I also want to know what happened." Jian Yan picked up his coat and walked out quickly.
Lin Leyao also wanted to know what exactly happened.
Today was no different from any other day. After finishing her morning class, she returned to her dorm. Before she could even start eating her newly bought lunch, Xu Ying pointed at her nose and said, "Lin Leyao, you usually spend money lavishly, but I never thought you would actually steal other people's things."
What? She? Stealing?
"Who did I steal from? What did I steal?" Such accusations made her very unhappy. She was so poor that she only had money left, so why did she need to steal things?
"The limited edition figurine you always liked and the wallet with 2,000 yuan in cash in it. I saw it when I was packing up yesterday at noon, but it was gone when I looked for it again this morning. I asked about it, and you were the only one in the dormitory yesterday afternoon, but everyone else was there at other times. You must have stolen it." Xu Ying pointed at her nose and said loudly.
Her voice was so loud that it attracted quite a few people to watch.
When the quarrel just started, someone secretly called Jian Yan, and he and Mingliang took a lot of effort to rush up to the girls' dormitory building.
What they saw was Lin Leyao standing there accepting Xu Ying's accusations, with contempt on her face.
Lin Leyao: "I'm not short of money."
Xu Ying: "You said you don't lack money, but who knows if you really do? Humph, you usually spend money lavishly, and I don't know where your money comes from. If your parents gave it to you, then your parents must love you very much. Why haven't you mentioned your parents even though you're already a sophomore? Maybe it was given to you by a middle-aged uncle who likes young girls. Is it because uncles don't like people like you anymore, so you have no money?"
"Why are you so mean?" Mingliang couldn't help but rush forward. She raised her hand and wanted to slap Xu Ying, but was stopped by Lin Leyao.
"Mingliang, I'll handle it myself." Lin Leyao glanced at Jian Yan and motioned him to hold Mingliang.
The Lin Leyao he knew is back.
Jian Yan smiled and pulled Mingliang back to the crowd. When she wanted to rush forward again, he whispered, "Trust Yaoyao, she can handle it."
She had been protected so well by Jian Yan during this period that she almost forgot the fact that she had never been Hello Kitty.
"Some people are really funny. When they spend my money or accept my gifts, they don't care where my money comes from, but when they accuse me, they make all kinds of assumptions." Lin Leyao looked directly at Xu Ying, her voice cold. "Even if my money is dirty, it doesn't mean I would steal a dirtier sum, right? If you want to accuse me of stealing, show me the evidence. However, I want to tell you that your unfounded speculations cannot be used as evidence at all. I advise you to stop talking, otherwise it will only expose your low IQ even more."
"Oh my god, I didn't know Yaoyao could speak so sharply." Mingliang whispered to Jian Yan.
"She used to be a cold-faced little witch." Thinking of how she looked when they first met, Jian Yan couldn't help laughing out loud.
Fortunately, it was quite noisy around and no one noticed.
"What if I have a witness?" Xu Ying was stunned. She didn't expect Lin Leyao to be so strong. They had known each other for more than a year, and most of the time she was a good person. She had never lost her temper. Hiding her guilty conscience, she dragged Qiao Dandan in front of everyone and said, "Dandan, tell everyone what you saw."
"I..." Qiao Dandan looked at Lin Leyao with a complicated expression, then lowered his head, scratching his left hand with his right hand, and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"Dandan, think it over carefully before you speak. I believe I have been good to you, so you can't talk nonsense." Lin Leyao frowned. There was actually a witness to something she had never done, and this witness was someone she had always been on good terms with.
What a big drama! It’s the New Year soon, so what kind of weird things are going to happen?
"Dandan, you don't need to be afraid of her. Just tell her what you saw." Xu Ying grabbed Qiao Dandan who was trying to escape and said sternly.
Lin Leyao saw Xu Ying whispering something in Qiaodandan's ear, but she didn't hear it clearly. Qiaodandan stood up straight and said softly, "When I went back to the dormitory to get something yesterday afternoon, I found Yaoyao rummaging through Xu Ying's cabinet..."
The crowd was shocked.
Jian Yan raised his eyebrows. Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting. He glanced at Lin Leyao, who was a little surprised but calmed down instantly, and his smile deepened.
"This ugly woman is lying with her eyes open. I want to..." Mingliang wanted to rush out again after hearing this, but Jian Yan held him tightly, "Jian Yan, are you just going to watch Yaoyao being bullied?"
"Look at Yaoyao's expression." Jian Yan said.
Mingliang saw unprecedented calmness on Lin Leyao's face. She tilted her head and glanced at Jian Yan again. It seemed that no one knew Lin Leyao better than him.
This is definitely going to be interesting.
Lin Leyao looked at Xu Ying and Qiao Dandan with interest. She was not sure why they had teamed up to stage this drama to frame her. She believed that she had been very good to them and had never treated them unfairly.
It seems there are still some parts she doesn't understand.
Xu Ying felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her, and she said with all her strength: "Lin Leyao, I have witnesses who can prove that you have looked through my cabinet, don't you still want to admit it?"
"Witnesses? Now that we have witnesses, we still need evidence, right? A crime can only be convicted if the evidence is in evidence, right?" Lin Leyao roughly calculated the time in her mind. She also saw Xu Ying rummaging through the figurine in front of her yesterday at noon. She was in the dormitory all afternoon, and Xu Ying had no time to move the things. She didn't go out at night and just asked someone to bring her food. This morning, Xu Ying had classes like her, which meant that she didn't have enough time to move the things out. The figurine and wallet were still in their dormitory.
Thinking of this, Lin Leyao laughed again. If you don’t have the intelligence to frame someone, then don’t do it.
Mingliang is also a smart person. After hearing what Lin Leyao said, she probably knew the crux of the problem. She looked at Jian Yan inquiringly, and when he nodded to her, she stood up and said, "I agree that only when the person is caught red-handed can a person be convicted. Why don't we search to see if the things are with Lin Leyao?"
"Okay." Xu Ying was silent for a while and nodded.
"We need to search Lin Leyao's cabinet, and yours too. Who knows if you accidentally put it in the wrong place and can't find it yourself." Mingliang continued.
"Then search it." Xu Ying did not object.
The fact that she agreed so readily meant that the thing was not in her hands.
Lin Leyao glanced at Xu Ying, then at Qiao Dandan who was cowering, and instantly understood. She said, "There are four of us in the dormitory, and everyone is a suspect. Why don't we search everyone?"
"I agree." Han Qiuya, the fourth person in the dormitory who had been silent as a spectator, put down the book in her hand, stood up and said. She walked to her cabinet, took out the key and unlocked it. Then she took out the things one by one and put them on the bed. After everyone had seen them clearly, she put them back one by one, neatly.
Everyone watched quietly as this usually quiet girl did all this, stunned.
Lin Leyao looked at her with gratitude in her heart. They were just roommates and had no extra interactions. She never thought that the person who would really help her at this time would be Han Qiuya.
Among the four people, three agreed to search. Qiao Dandan stood in front of the cabinet, and no matter what the onlookers said, she refused to move. The situation suddenly came to a stalemate.
"Why don't we call the police? Two thousand yuan is enough to file a case," Mingliang suggested.
"No... don't call the police... don't call the police..." Qiao Dandan couldn't stop shaking all over. She regretted it. She shouldn't have cooperated with Xu Ying. She just couldn't stand Lin Leyao and Mingliang getting so close and ignoring them. She just wanted to teach her a lesson. She...
"Dandan, did you steal those things?" Xu Ying's harsh accusation made everyone turn their eyes to Qiao Dandan.
Qiao Dandan: "I..."
Xu Ying: "Dandan, I know you must have your reasons, right? It's okay. We have such a good relationship, I won't bother with you . Just return the figurine to me, and take the money if you need it."
Sacrifice the car to save the king?
Lin Leyao narrowed her eyes and watched Xu Ying move towards Qiaodandan step by step. When she turned her back to everyone, she clearly whispered something. Qiaodandan's eyes widened when she heard this. After a long sigh, she smiled bitterly and took all the charges, stealing and framing.
The farce ended with Qiao Dandan's breakdown and crying and Xu Ying's understanding.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Jian Yan patted Lin Leyao on the shoulder and turned to leave, leaving Mingliang alone to accompany her.
The hand holding Mingliang was trembling slightly. Even though she was wearing thick clothes, she still felt very cold.
Is this what human nature is? Is this what growth is?
"Pa!" A very crisp slapping sound.
"Get out!" Xu Ying was so angry that she wanted to rush up and slap Lin Leyao, but she didn't expect that she would be slapped back by Mingliang.
She covered her face, glared at them angrily, pulled Qiao Dandan and slammed the door and left.
"Thank you." Lin Leyao walked up to Han Qiuya and thanked her sincerely.
Han Qiuya raised her head and glanced at her, then replied indifferently, "I didn't help you. I just wanted to clear myself."
She had long guessed that Han Qiuya would say this, so she was not too surprised.
"Lin Leyao, do they feel wronged for treating you this way?" Han Qiuya asked. Without waiting for her answer, she continued, "In fact, everything has its cause and effect. You are so nice to them from a superior position. Have you ever thought about their feelings? You abandoned them because you made new friends, which is why they are resentful today. This is not how you make friends."
"I understand, thank you." Lin Leyao nodded and thanked him.
"Yaoyao bought so many things for them in the past. Could it be that they are acting like this to frame her just because she has bought less recently?" Mingliang didn't understand the cause and effect here. In her eyes, black is black and white is white. She didn't understand such distorted theories.
Han Qiuya nodded.
"Have they ever thought about this: Yaoyao has no obligation to give them anything, and no matter how much or how little she gives, it's a thoughtful gesture?" Mingliang asked again.
Han Qiuya obviously didn't expect her to ask such an stupid question. She was stunned for a moment and said, "If they had thought about it, nothing would have happened today." She turned to look at Lin Leyao, "You have a good friend."
Yes, she has a good friend.
She couldn't deny Mingliang's kindness to her just because of Cheng Anran's matter.
Thinking of this, she clenched her bright hands, and her eyes finally regained their former brilliance.
Lin Leyao said: "Mingliang, let's have a fight."
Mingliang: "Really? I won't show you mercy."
Lin Leyao: "It's okay, I won't show mercy."
Huh? What? What was the result of the fight?
Mingliang didn't let him speak.
Today is the weekend, Lin Leyao stood in front of the mirror in her new dormitory with two big panda eyes - in a daze. She went to bed at eight o'clock yesterday, and now it's eight o'clock the next morning, and she hasn't fallen asleep yet!
After she squeezed the toothpaste in a daze and put the toothbrush into her mouth, she was stunned again. It was not until her saliva started to flow that she realized she had been keeping this action for a long time without moving.
Did she drink alcohol yesterday?
No, did Jian Yan drink alcohol yesterday?
If he hadn't been drinking, why would he confess to her? Aren't they childhood friends? Aren't they friends? They...
She suddenly thought of the words in the gossip tabloid: "Maybe they are enjoying the happiness of an underground relationship..."
Were they really in a secret relationship all along? No, no, a secret relationship refers to people who have feelings for each other. She and Jian Yan are just friends, just friends!
So it was right for her to refuse. She had to refuse Jian Yan. They were friends.
It must be like this...
Ahhh, I couldn't convince myself. Jian Yan's big face kept flying in and out of my mind like the comments in the video, and I couldn't get rid of it no matter what I did.
"Lin Leyao, you've been occupying the toilet for a long time, I need to poop, poop!" Mingliang slammed the door and shouted. Because his roommate had to go back to his hometown for something, there was an empty bed, so Mingliang slept in Lin Leyao's dormitory last night.
"Right away." She quickly rinsed her mouth and came out of the bathroom, then rushed in like a bright breeze.
Lin Leyao sat down at the desk and began to daydream again.
She really wanted to rush to Jian Yan and ask him if he was joking yesterday and how could he possibly like her.
After putting on her shoes, she became timid again. What if he said it was not a joke? What if he said it was a joke?
So does she hope this is a joke or not? So contradictory!
"Yaoyao, do you have a fever? You tossed and turned last night, and you didn't seem well this morning." Mingliang came out of the bathroom and saw Lin Leyao, who was talking to herself and scratching her hair in frustration. She asked with concern.
"Mingliang...you know...Jian Yan and I had dinner together last night." Lin Leyao looked up, and Mingliang was startled by the heavy dark circles under her eyes.
"I know. He said that you promised him before that you went to eat a very expensive steak." Lin Leyao tried to hold her back when they were going out, but when she thought of Jian Yan's murderous eyes, she righteously refused.
"Then we finished eating steak, and he sent me back to the dormitory , and then...then he said he liked me." Lin Leyao took a deep breath and said this, "Mingliang, are you surprised that Jian Yan actually likes me?"
"He finally confessed his feelings. It wasn't easy." Mingliang said with emotion, "I knew he wouldn't be that patient."
So... Mingliang knew it a long time ago? So... Jianyan really likes me! What happened last night was not a joke!
Lin Leyao's face froze!
She actually rejected Jian Yan's confession, which was not a joke! A narcissistic person who loves face like him, he will definitely take revenge on her! Seriously.
A woman imprisoned by a domineering president?
Why did she think of this? Jian Yan was not a domineering president, and she was not a captive woman!
Once this imagination was opened, it could not be contained. She had already begun to imagine that she was dragged to a villa in the suburbs by Jian Yan and imprisoned there, without being given meat to eat every day, leaving her with no hope of escape.
Thinking of Jian Yan’s evil CEO smile… my heart seemed to beat a little faster.
"Yaoyao, why are you blushing?" Mingliang looked at her surprised and tearful expression, and finally understood why Jian Yan said that she was a girl with a unique imagination.
"Am I blushing?" She touched her face and felt a little hot. The evil Jian Yan appeared in her mind again. The feeling of oppression made her little heart beat faster.
Does she really like him?
She had never thought of this before today. How could like Jian Yan? They were so...
Are they really just good friends? Jian Yan asked her last night.
If they were just good friends, why wouldn't she reject his contact?
If they were just good friends, why did she always act like a bullied wife in front of him and couldn't get hard?
If they were just good friends, why would she escape after the Cheng Anran incident?
If we were just good friends...
Jian Yan listed a lot of "ifs" for her, and she couldn't find any reason to refute from the beginning to the end... So had she been deceiving herself all along?
Everyone could see the relationship between her and Jian Yan, but she was the only one trying to cover it up.
She likes Jian Yan, and this kind of thing is really hard to accept.
Her face was still hot, and the evil spirit in her mind had not disappeared. She stood up quickly, put her hands on Mingliang's shoulders, and asked word by word: "In your opinion, do Jian Yan and I really have feelings for each other?"
Mingliang nodded.
Lin Leyao wanted to cry but had no tears. She asked again, "Have you discovered that Jian Yan likes me a long time ago?"
Mingliang nodded.
Lin Leyao howled to the sky, and then asked, "Do you think I like Jian Yan too?"
Mingliang still nodded.
No, she had to calm down, she had to calm down.
"Maybe they are enjoying the happiness of an underground relationship..."
The ecstasy of the waves tickled her heart like feathers, making her feel numb and itchy. The three words "underground love" were magnified in her mind, making her breathless.
"I'm going to go out for a while ." Lin Leyao quickly put on her shoes and rushed out the door. She needed to calm down. She needed to calm down.
It’s snowing?
After one night, the outside was already covered in white. There was a thick layer of snow, which made a squeaking sound when stepped on.
Jian Yan likes snow very much. When it snows, he likes to stand quietly in the snow and watch the snowflakes falling.
She liked to see him like that, quiet and beautiful like a snow prince.
It was snowing again, and she imitated him, standing in the snow. The hexagonal crystals fell into her palms and melted. The cold touch made her mind clearer. The unknown feeling in her heart finally emanated.
She likes simple words.
Yes, it is love, not the love between friends, but the love between lovers.
The sky was bright and the cold wind blew on her face, but she didn't feel cold at all. Instead, her heart felt full and warm.
She wanted to shout to the sky: "Jian Yan, I like you too."
The people coming and going around her and the men and women hugging each other excitedly on the playground made her shut her mouth and she could only shout in her heart.
It turns out this is what it feels like to like someone. It turns out that she is not completely heartbroken, she can also love.
But their love...will it end like their parents'?
The excitement was frozen in an instant and there was no way to warm it up and melt it.
The cell phone suddenly rang. She hesitated for a moment and picked up the strange number.
"Yaoyao, it's mom."
She almost dropped the phone. It had been almost two years. She hadn't heard her voice or seen her in person.
As mother and daughter, their only communication in the past two years has been the cold transfer messages on their mobile phones.
"Yaoyao, can we meet? Mom is at the gate of your school."
"good."
