Chapter 268: Moving On
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Originally, Lu Qianling wanted to leave her former friendship with some dignity, but later on, she realized that she was not great enough to do that.
Even though she had treated Liu Xiaomeng as a friend for many years, she could not accept her good friend slandering her behind her back.
Seeing that Lu Qianling had no clue, Meng Chuyuan rationally pointed out a path for her. “I think you need to review your relationship with that friend again. ”
“Review?”
“That’s right.” Meng Chuyuan started to think from the beginning to the end based on what Lu Qianling had just said. “What you’re looking for now is her motive. The two of you have known each other since you were young and tell each other almost everything, right?”
Meng Chuyuan said, “Actually, she doesn’t have to be honest with you about this. In that case, you can continue to be good friends, right? Why do you think she exposed herself now?”
“Before she exposed herself, she told me that she was ostracized by her dormitory mates and wanted to move out of the dormitory… Perhaps she thought that she would become like me after moving out of the dormitory?” Other than that, Lu Qianling really could not find a more reasonable explanation.
“You mean she chose to expose herself as a way to protect herself.”
“Maybe.” Lu Qianling felt that Liu Xiaomeng chose to expose herself at this time because she wanted to get her forgiveness. “I just want to cut ties with her now.”
What Liu Xiaomeng did did not cause her any substantial harm. At most, it was just a small prank. If it was in the past, Lu Qianling would definitely let bygones be bygones. However, that night when Lu Qianling came back from the toilet, she publicized this matter in class to prove that she was angry.
Lu Qianling knew that her classmates didn’t like her, but she never expected
Liu Xiaomeng to be that kind of person.
Meng Chuyuan hummed softly and agreed with her rational approach. “Move on. Think of it as a lesson to grow. Don’t trust others unconditionally. There’s a saying in Keigo Higashino’s “White Night”: There are two things in the world that you can’t look at directly. One is the sun, and the other is the human heart.”
Lu Qianling had just come out of school when a cold night breeze blew over, quietly bringing her some coldness. She slowly said, “I understand.” “Study hard. Knowledge is something that no one can take away from you.”
“I really admire you.” Hearing that Meng Chuyuan still wanted to persuade her to study at the end, Lu Qianling smiled helplessly. “Is there anyone who comforts people like you? You persuade people to study just because of a disagreement.”
“You’re still a student. You should get rid of all distracting thoughts and focus on your studies. Only when you make yourself outstanding will others notice your existence. Isn’t this form of attraction better than currying favor with others?”
Meng Chuyuan chatted briefly with Lu Qianling and advised her to go back and rest early.
Lu Qingye did not have the habit of eavesdropping on other people’s conversations. He was standing at the side just now. When Meng Chuyuan answered the call, he vaguely heard Lu Qianling’s voice.
After she hung up, Lu Qingye walked back to Meng Chuyuan. “Lu Qianling called?”
“Yes.” Meng Chuyuan looked up at him and explained roughly, “You won’t understand these girl things.”
Lu Qingye frowned and asked coldly, “Is she dating at a young age?”
He did not know what had happened to Lu Qianling, but from Meng Chuyuan’s words just now, it was difficult for him to ignore this.
Meng Chuyuan was stunned by his serious question. After a while, she smiled and said, “Don’t misunderstand. This has nothing to do with puppy love.” “What did you mean by girl things just now?”
“Who told you that girl things must have something to do with love?” In order not to let him misunderstand, Meng Chuyuan revealed a look of disdain when she made her final explanation. “Actually, it’s a problem of friendship between the two girls. You won’t understand the complicated relationship.”
After a while, Lu Qingye returned to his original question and asked Meng Chuyuan about her health again, “Does your head hurt?”
“Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Meng Chuyuan seemed to sense it for a moment, then she nodded. “Yes.”
“Where?” Lu Qingye frowned and looked a little flustered.
“My butt hurts a little.”
Lu Qingye: ‘
