Chapter 64: Don’t Leave Again

Su Xiaoxiao arrived at school and, after a brief greeting with her deskmate Xiaoyun, entered the exam room just like in the morning.

After the two back-to-back exams ended in the afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao quickly left the exam room.

She walked briskly all the way to the entrance of the Art Building.

Even though it was exam day, there were still people practicing here.

Her goal was clear.

After reaching the third floor, she met the Society President.

Xiaoyun was now sitting on a small chair in the practice room, looking troubled.

Several girls stood nearby, including the little girl she had brought last Friday and Senior Su Xin.

“Tongtong.”

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao saw her, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Little lolis are still the cutest.

Big sisters are too scary.

“Uu, onee-chan.”

Zhou Tongtong hugged her as soon as she saw her, her small body pressing tightly against the girl.

“It’s been days since we last met.”

“You really cling to Xiaoxiao, huh.”

Standing to the side, Su Xin looked at the heartwarming scene and couldn’t help but smile.

“Why don’t you let your big sister hug you too?”

“Because Xiaoxiao onee-chan is gentler…”

Zhou Tongtong poked her head out.

“All the big sisters here are nice.

Don’t be so scared.”

Su Xiaoxiao patted the small head pressed against her chest.

The soft touch made her feel a bit like she was petting a Cat.

“Even though the big sisters say so, okay…”

After listening, Zhou Tongtong also leaned into Su Xin’s arms.

“Then can Xiaoxiao and she come over together and let me hug them?”

Senior Xin seemed unsatisfied, hugging the loli and moving toward her.

“Playboy radish, no.”

“Cough, cough.”

The girls were chatting happily, but Xiaoyun interrupted the scene.

“As for Xiao Li’s matter, let’s wait for her to handle it herself first before I think of a way.”

“Mm.”

When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, her expression instantly turned serious.

“Onee-chan, your bag’s open.

Wow, what a cute Panda.”

Zhou Tongtong circled behind her, helping zip up the bag.

“Panda?”

Oh, it was a small trinket in the backpack.

Pretty cute, something girls would like.

Just a bit old and patched up, who knows how many stitches.

“Xiao Li already left.

She didn’t tell me what she was thinking, either.”

The Society President rose slowly from the chair with a heavy heart.

“But it’s her own issue.

I can’t interfere.

If it’s not a rumor, there’s no need to take the post down.

As for Yan Xinhe’s matter, I’ve already asked someone to handle it.”

Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to ask who she entrusted it to, but now wasn’t the time.

“Where did she go?”

“Mm, I think she went to the Park.

It’s the same one Su Xin went with you before.

Remember?”

Xiaoyun patted the girl’s shoulder.

“If your purpose for joining the club is gone, you’ll probably still stay here, right?”

Purpose…

“I will.

Thank you, Xiaoyun onee-chan.

I’ll go first.”

After hearing the destination, Su Xiaoxiao immediately bid farewell to the girls.

Her face looked terrible, and she grew more anxious inside.

At this critical moment, she really couldn’t stay calm.

All that talk about it having nothing to do with her was fake.

How could she give up so easily?

As for whether she still liked Xiao Li…

She could only say she liked her very much.

So even if she had to drag her, she’d drag that playboy away.

“Lily, did coming here mean you agreed? I happen to have time today, so why don’t we go out and play? We didn’t have much chance before.”

In the School Back Garden, Xiao Li arrived as promised.

The person speaking in front of her was Feipeng.

He wasn’t wearing his school uniform today.

He must’ve dressed up on purpose, wearing his own clothes, looking handsome.

But Xiao Li didn’t come today to accept a confession or anything like that.

She came to reject it.

She’d thought about that white-haired girl’s words for over a day.

She realized her indecision wasn’t because she liked this Senior, but because few people cared for her the way he did.

She was grateful, but that was all.

Then, in the afternoon, she saw something familiar again.

“I’m sorry, I…”

Xiao Li had just started to speak when a white figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

It was Su Xiaoxiao.

“Hey, what are you doing?

Hurry up and get lost!”

Unexpectedly, the girl who was usually so gentle she spoke softly directly shouted at the boy confessing to her.

“This?”

Feipeng was surprised to see someone interrupt his confession and even scold him.

He originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but seeing that the newcomer was the new Junior Su he’d noticed last week—

“Junior Su, I still have things to do now.

Can you come back later?”

“Come back your head.

I’m standing right here and not leaving.”

Su Xiaoxiao braced herself and stared at him face-to-face.

Her firm, disdainful gaze was a little intimidating.

“Xiaoxiao…”

Xiao Li hadn’t expected this either.

She gently patted the small figure standing in front of her.

She wanted to interrupt the conversation since she had come to reject him.

But now she couldn’t get a word in.

“I won’t let you take her away.”

Su Xiaoxiao swallowed hard.

“Whether it’s Liu Yun or me, neither of us will let you become this playboy’s girlfriend.”

“If you agree, Liu Yun and I won’t come anymore…”

She was agitated, not knowing what else to say.

“Xiao Li, don’t listen to her nonsense.

How could I be a playboy?”

Feipeng sensed things going wrong and tried to defend himself.

“Do I look like that kind of person?

I helped you with a lot of things before, didn’t I?”

“Solving a few things doesn’t mean anything.

What does it have to do with being a playboy or not?”

Su Xiaoxiao lifted her head and stared at him.

Right now, she wasn’t afraid of anything anymore.

She even felt like killing him.

“I don’t like people who talk nonsense.

Believe it or not, I’ll…”

Feipeng rolled up his sleeves, trying to scare her.

“Enough!”

At this moment, Xiao Li realized she couldn’t wait any longer.

She mustered her courage and spoke loudly.

“Senior, I’m truly grateful for your help before.”

“Mm, mm, right?”

Feipeng nodded, looking gratified.

He thought he’d succeeded.

This junior couldn’t stop him.

“But I don’t like you. Sorry, Senior.”

Xiao Li bowed slightly in apology.

“And you spoke so rudely to my best friend.

From now on, I won’t have any more contact with you.”

“Eh, eh??”

Feipeng was completely shocked by Xiao Li’s words, showing a terrified expression.

Su Xiaoxiao slowly lowered her trembling outstretched hand.

“Did you hear that?

You were rejected.

Now hurry up and leave.”

“…..”

But Feipeng stood there for a long time, unwilling to accept the truth.

“And I already have someone I like.”

Xiao Li hesitated for a while but finally said it.

“I’ve liked them for five years, so your request was impossible from the start.”

“Fine… then goodbye.”

Feipeng looked at the two beautiful girls in front of him and scoffed inwardly.

It’s pointless to cling to this.

He failed.

Time to find someone else.

***

“Finally…”

Seeing him finally leave, Su Xiaoxiao collapsed, half-kneeling on the ground.

It was her first time arguing with someone so fiercely.

She was really scared he’d do something just now…

After all, she looked like someone who could be knocked out easily.

But seeing the result, it was worth it.

“Thank you.”

Xiao Li gently held the girl’s hand, her face showing joy.

“I thought about your words for a long time over the weekend. Now I understand. Don’t worry.”

Not liking someone means not liking them.

There’s no need to force it.

But actually, the main reason was that she remembered the past.

That person she liked for five years wasn’t a lie.

“It’s nothing.”

Su Xiaoxiao struggled to her feet.

“By the way, the person you said you liked for five years just now…”

“Mm, I won’t misunderstand this. Don’t worry.”

Xiao Li looked at the weak girl in front of her, her cheeks turning slightly red.

“It’s just that the other person didn’t seem to have any feelings for me before.”

She only knew she was willing to do anything for that person.

As for whether it was love or not, she wasn’t sure.

After all, they were both girls.

Xiao Li thought this, then looked at the girl holding her hand in front of her.

“Alright. As long as you like them.”

Su Xiaoxiao raised her head, unable to say anything else.

“If you really like them, then there’s nothing more to say. Anything else would just be unreasonable…”

The white-haired girl drooped her head, feeling miserable inside.

So after all this, Xiao Li had someone she liked.

Wasn’t the result the same…

Oh well, it’s still much better than that playboy.

And she said the other person didn’t like her, so it probably wouldn’t succeed.

“That, tomorrow at noon, will you go somewhere with me?”

Xiao Li spoke gently.

“To thank you.”

“Mm.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

“Then let’s go back now. The Society President seems to be calling me.”

Xiao Li gently pulled her up.

The soft touch was comforting and nostalgic.

That Doll—she saw it again today…

She’d left once, and now, finally, they met again.

From now on, please don’t leave her alone and disappear suddenly anymore, okay?
