Chapter 665: Catching Up
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After coming out of the principal’s office, Ye Lengan stretched lazily and headed toward the classroom.
However, before reaching the classroom, she spotted Ye Xiyuan and Yuan Silei walking hand in hand towards her.
Seeing these familiar figures, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but sigh. Indeed, fate had a way of bringing unexpected encounters! She had just returned to school, and there she was, unexpectedly running into Ye Xiyuan. Shengan High School was really too small, wasn’t it? Why did she always cross paths with people she hoped to avoid?
Despite the encounter, she had no intention of engaging with these two. So, she decided to play it cool, act like she hadn’t seen them, and simply go on her way.
However, it seemed their intentions differed from hers. Perhaps it was more accurate to say that Yuan Silei had a different mindset.
Upon seeing her, Yuan Silei approached with excitement. “Lengan, you’re back at school! Where have you been all this time?”
On the other hand, Ye Xiyuan remained silent, avoiding eye contact with Ye Lengan. It appeared she wanted to walk past without acknowledging her, probably due to the recent strain in their relationship. However, Yuan Silei’s unexpected move forced her to halt.
Observing Yuan Silei’s enthusiasm, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but frown. She had no desire to engage with her and planned to continue walking.
Yet, it was evident that Yuan Silei was oblivious to her rejection. She released Ye Xiyuan’s hand and continued walking alongside Ye Lengan. “Lengan, why are you not saying anything?”
Ye Lengan frowned and coldly asked, “What’s the matter?”
In contrast to Ye Leng’an’s coldness, Yuan Silei remained warm. “Leng’an, you haven’t been to school in a long time. Let’s find some time to go shopping together! We haven’t hung out in ages.”
Sensing Yuan Silei’s enthusiasm, Ye Xiyuan, standing beside her, couldn’t help but furrow her brows. At present, she had no intention of conversing with Ye Lengan and found Yuan Silei’s actions irksome. Nevertheless, she held her tongue and refrained from walking away.
After various incidents, she had already skipped to the third year of high school, but many had distanced themselves from her. Only Yuan Silei continued to be her friend. So, she was not willing to lose this “friend” now
“What’s the matter?” Ye Lengan looked at Yuan Silei, her tone almost icy. “If there’s nothing, I have to go to class.”
Yuan Silei was undeterred, still wearing a smile. “Lengan, don’t be so distant! We’ve been good friends for so many years. Despite our past conflicts, it’s been a while. It’s time to move on.’
“It’s indeed in the past.” Ye Lengan raised her head, a hint of coldness in her eyes. “Our friendship is over. Therefore, I don’t think we have a good relationship anymore. Moreover, we’ve already made it clear that we’ll treat each other as strangers when we meet in the future. Isn’t that better?”
At times, she genuinely questioned Yuan Silei’s thought process. Despite clearly parting on bad terms each time they met after that, the other party seemed to have amnesia, approaching her every time.
She felt her stance was resolute. Why couldn’t Yuan Silei comprehend it?
A touch of sadness flashed across Yuan Silei’s face. “Lengan, we grew up together. I can understand your anger before. But now that it’s been so long, why can’t you let it go?”
Ye Xiyuan couldn’t bear it and tugged at Yuan Silei’s hand, saying, “Leilei, it’s getting late. Classes are about to start. Aren’t you going back to the classroom?”
She couldn’t fathom Yuan Silei’s inability to read the situation. Was she seeking trouble, willingly subjecting herself to humiliation?
“Xiyuan, you can go back first!” Yuan Silei glanced at Ye Xiyuan and waved her hand. “I want to talk to Leng’an.”
Upon hearing Yuan Silei’s words, Ye Xiyuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Evidently, she didn’t expect Yuan Silei to ask her to leave for Ye Lengan.
In her mind, Yuan Silei was the trophy she had won against Ye Lengan. She had put in effort to win over Yuan Silei, thinking she held a more significant place in her heart than Ye Lengan. However, reality had dealt her a harsh blow. Now, Yuan Silei was asking her to leave for Ye Lengan.
Was Ye Lengan more important to Yuan Silei than her? Had all her efforts been in vain?
Even Ye Lengan couldn’t hide her surprise at this revelation.
The last time they met in Jin City, Ye Xiyuan and Yuan Silei seemed like close sisters. Why did it now seem like their relationship had subtly changed? Had something happened between them?
“Leilei, are you asking me to go back first?” Ye Xiyuan asked again in disbelief.
“That’s right! Xiyuan, aren’t you in a hurry to go back to the classroom?” Yuan Silei was puzzled. “So you should go back first! I haven’t seen Leng’an for a long time. I want to catch up!”
A mocking smile appeared on Ye Xiyuan’s lips. “Catch up? Look at Ye Lengan. Does she look like she wants to reminisce with you? Can’t you see she doesn’t even want to talk to you?”
Yuan Silei seemed to find this unbelievable. “Xiyuan, how could you say something like that? You’re not usually like this.”
Ye Xiyuan had always been gentle and understanding in front of her. Although her personality seemed to have changed a little after her return from injury, it didn’t appear to be a drastic shift. She just seemed a bit more gloomy.
However. given the recent significant event. some change was expected.
Yet, she hadn’t anticipated Ye Xiyuan would utter such harsh words.
Ignoring Yuan Silei, Ye Xiyuan turned around and left.
Yuan Silei remained in place, the shock still evident in her eyes..
