1283 Forcing One Out Through Actions
“Jian Ai!”
Retracting her gaze, Jian Ai was about to return to class when a voice called out from behind her.
Jian Ai stopped in her tracks, and her expression fluctuated because the owner of this voice… was Lin Yi!
Turning around, the noon sun shone through the glass window on Lin Yi’s side. He had a warm smile on his face like the sun, and he was like a spring breeze as he ran towards her.
This scene stunned Jian Ai for a moment, as if she had been pulled back half a year ago! At that time, she could see Lin Yi like this every day.
While she was in a daze, Lin Yi had already arrived in front of Jian Ai. “For you!”
Lin Yi smiled and reached out with a bottle of milk and a bag of bread.
Jian Ai was still stunned. She looked at Lin Yi, then at the milk and bread in his hand, and then at Lin Yi.
“I know you didn’t eat lunch,” Lin Yi said. “If it’s because of me, you can eat now because I’m fine!”
Lin Yi’s tone was relaxed and sincere, making Jian Ai even more confused.
“Are you okay?” Jian Ai asked with uncertainty.
Lin Yi nodded. “Yes, I’m fine now. Really!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi bent down slightly and pulled Jian Ai’s hand. He stuffed the thing in his hand into her hand. “If I caused you any trouble in the past, I apologize. I’ve thought about your words seriously. I know what I should do next.”
“Lin Yi…” Jian Ai whispered, but Lin Yi interrupted her.
“Jian Ai, you don’t have to say anything.” Lin Yi smiled and looked at Jian Ai. “I fully understand your difficulties and guilt, but this was not my intention. I hope we can live as independent individuals in the future and not be affected by each other, okay?”
Hearing Lin Yi’s words and looking at the smile on his face, Jian Ai didn’t know how to answer.
Don’t be affected by each other? How wonderful was that? Could she really do it?
She didn’t know what Lin Yi had thought through to become like this, but Jian Ai instinctively felt uneasy because she didn’t know what Lin Yi was thinking.
Or did she not express herself clearly enough and made Lin Yi misunderstand something?
However, Lin Yi didn’t give Jian Ai a chance to speak. After saying that, he said, “Eat your food. I’m going to look for Gao Yang and the rest to play basketball.”
Then, he turned around and ran away!
Jian Ai stood in the corridor with bread and milk for a long time. Her current mood became more complicated!
A relationship between a man and a woman was the most difficult relationship to handle in the world, Jian Ai thought.
Forget it. She would get Guan Tao to help her get information from Gao Yang later. After all, Lin Yi only changed after lunch. Something must have happened at noon.
Jian Ai’s heart was in a mess. She didn’t think too much about it and entered the classroom with the milk and bread Lin Yi had given her.
For the entire afternoon, Jian Ai secretly observed Lin Yi’s condition, but Lin Yi acted as if nothing had happened. He exuded a brand new vitality, and Jian Ai couldn’t tell if his sudden change was real or fake.
After school, Jian Ai pulled Guan Tao to the bathroom and whispered, “Did you ask Gao Yang? What’s going on? I think Lin Yi is possessed!”
“He is possessed!” Guan Tao smiled and said, “He is possessed by you!”
“Ah?” Jian Ai’s hair stood on end. She looked at Guan Tao in shock and said, “What’s going on? What did Gao Yang say?!”
When Guan Tao heard this, she repeated what Gao Yang had told her to Jian Ai. In the end, she didn’t forget to add, “Lin Yi still has feelings for you and doesn’t want to give up so easily.”
Jian Ai was stunned. “…”
Something must have gone wrong. She had already said her piece, so why was Lin Yi still unwilling to give up?
“Xiao Ai, I think if he likes you, let him like you. Otherwise, what else can you do? If he could control it, he would have done so long ago!” Guan Tao said.
Jian Ai naturally knew this logic. If other unrelated people liked her, she wouldn’t care.
However, Lin Yi was different. She treated Lin Yi as her best friend. She hoped that the two of them could stick to their friendship. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to handle their relationship.
“Xiao Ai, do you have someone you like?” Guan Tao looked at Jian Ai’s lifeless expression and subconsciously guessed.
Jian Ai’s expression turned cold. “Don’t talk nonsense. If I had someone I liked, I would have told you first.”
“Why don’t you give it a try with Lin Yi? Didn’t you like him in the past?” Guan Tao’s heart ached for Jian Ai and Lin Yi. When she liked him, he didn’t like her. When he liked her, she didn’t have any feelings for him anymore.
What an ill-fated relationship.
“Don’t come up with bad ideas. How can I try so casually?” Jian Ai poked Guan Tao’s forehead with her finger. “If we’re not suitable after trying, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing to break up? I don’t want to lose Lin Yi as a friend!”
Guan Tao rubbed her forehead in pain and muttered, “Lin Yi will only give up if you find a boyfriend!”
Guan Tao’s unintentional words enlightened Jian Ai. What was this called? Forcing one out through actions!
Although it was a little inappropriate, it was an effective way to expel him. Moreover, the method should be immediate.
However…
Jian Ai sighed in her heart. None of the boys in her range met the requirements. Moreover, Lin Yi knew everyone she knew. It was not easy.
“Alright, Xiao Ai, I have to go. It’s Christmas today. I have to accompany Gao Yang to Baiyun Square to look at the lights,” Guan Tao said and patted Jian Ai’s shoulder. “As for you, don’t worry for nothing. Didn’t Lin Yi say that he wants to find his former self while continuing to hold on to this relationship? This can make you feel better. Since you can’t control the rest, let nature take its course. Ha!”
Jian Ai nodded and felt that Guan Tao was right. Anyway, she had said what she needed to say. Lin Yi’s choice resulted from his careful consideration. As long as he felt it was okay, she had nothing to be pretentious about.
It was a wonderful thing for a girl to have someone who liked her so much.
Looking at the time, it was already past the time Ji Haoyu had sent her. Jian Ai quickly said, “Let’s go together. I’m going to a Christmas party tonight too!”
After leaving the school, Ji Haoyu did not avoid the crowd this time. The sapphire blue Ferrari sports car was parked on the opposite side of the road. He was wearing a black trench coat and stood tall by the road. When he saw Jian Ai come out, he quickly smiled and waved at her!
