24: Chapter 24 I love you the most!

Lin Yaner's face showed shock!

She didn't know why others would also know this poem, which should have been exclusively hers!

She had never leaked a single word!

Just as Lin Yaner was lost in thought, that voice came again:

"Her robes are like clouds, her face like flowers; the spring breeze brushes the railing, and the dew is thick with beauty.

If not seen on the peak of Mount Qunyu, we would meet under the moon on Jade Terrace."

That was... Lu Yiyi!

Why did Yi Yi also know it by heart?

"Yaner, have you also read the poem he wrote?" Lu Yiyi asked, her eyes slightly swollen and her voice hoarse.

She really liked this poem.

Even though she broke up with Xiao Ran, she still couldn't bear to throw it away.

After all... it was a memento of their love.

"He wrote it?"

Lin Yaner's breathing hitched.

A sharp pain twisted in her heart.

She thought of a possibility, but also found it extremely absurd!

She forced a faint smile and looked at Lu Yiyi: "This poem... did he really write it for you?"

As she asked this question, her emotions were extremely complex.

She hoped... that this poem was written by Lu Yiyi's Xiao Ran,

which would mean that her Xiao Ran Brother was also Lu Yiyi's Xiao Ran Brother, implying that Xiao Ran Brother hadn't left yet... But she was scared... If everything she thought came true, and their Xiao Ran Brother was the same person... what should she do?

How should the two best friends get along?

Turn against each other for him?

"Yes! This is a poem Xiao Ran Brother wrote for me! This is absolutely the most beautiful poem in the world!"

Lu Yiyi suddenly burst into a smile through her tears,

a hoarse, unpleasant laugh, as if her throat had been burned.

Her eyes held a hint of longing, three parts joy, five parts relief, and one part hope.

"Although I broke up with him, but... I should already be content!

He doesn't owe me anything; I accepted him too late!

It's normal for such an excellent boy to be popular!

I regret it!

Why couldn't I accept Brother's confession earlier?

If I had, I would be the one by his side, wouldn't I?

But I just... for that damn modesty?

Or that damn vanity?

30 times... I messed up 30 times!

I was the one who pushed Brother away... it's all my own fault..."

Lu Yiyi spoke to herself, seemingly confiding, seemingly regretting.

But no one noticed the lingering attachment in her eyes.

No one cared about the petrified Lin Yaner beside her.

Lin Yaner understood, it seemed everything became clear.

The familiar figure, the familiar tenderness.

The overlapping poem.

She should have thought of it earlier!

Yi Yi's Xiao Ran Brother was also Yaner's Xiao Ran Brother!

Brother was still so gentle; today he cared about Yaner again.

But... 'Brother lied to Yaner.'

'He lied to Yaner so cruelly!'

Lin Yaner, as if nothing had happened, smiled at Lu Yiyi and said:

"Yi Yi, I envy you so much, that someone gave you such a beautiful poem. I'm going back to the dorm first, I'm glad you're okay."

"Mhm! Thank you, Yaner! Thank you for coming to be with me!" Lu Yiyi stood up and gently hugged her.

"I'm going back now, call me if you need help!"

"Mhm!"

...Lin Yaner returned to her dorm in a daze.

Now she was alone.

Loneliness, solitude, heartache, suffocation... all sorts of emotions surged in, like a tide engulfing her whole body!

Her neck felt as if it was being choked, making her unable to breathe!

Her heart was like it had a string tied to it, with a stone bound to the end of the string, constantly pulling!

"It hurts! My heart hurts so much!"

Lin Yaner helplessly crouched on the floor, pressing tightly against her chest.

That heart-wrenching, twisting pain, that unspeakable feeling of suffocation!

It once again swept over her entire body.

Crystal tears continuously dripped onto the ground, forming a small puddle.

At this moment,

She wished for an anesthetic, one shot, and she would be comfortable, numb!

Just lie down and sleep.

"Click~"

"Click~"

"Click~"

The sound of a watch ticking echoed in the air.

It felt like a very long time.

Lin Yaner shakily stood up and sat back in her chair.

She took out her phone and removed the phone case.

From the phone case, she took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper.

Written on it,

was what should have been her exclusive, the world's only poem!

"Her robes are like clouds, her face like flowers; the spring breeze brushes the railing, and the dew is thick with beauty. If not seen on the peak of Mount Qunyu, we would meet under the moon on Jade Terrace."

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she gently pressed it against her chest.

The corners of her mouth curved upwards, and a happy smile bloomed on her pretty face.

This was something her beloved Brother had specially written for her!

In an instant!

Her expression turned cold and indifferent!

Why!

Why on earth?

Why did her best friend Lu Yiyi also get this poem!!

Wasn't this supposed to be hers, the only one?

Why did someone else have it now?

It was no longer unique!

It was no longer perfect!

Anger surged in Lin Yaner's heart, and she gripped the paper with both hands, feeling an urge to tear it!

But in the next moment, a hint of unwillingness suddenly emerged in her subconscious.

No!

It still had a use!

"Hehe! Cancer?"

"That's also your lie, isn't it?"

"Liar!"

"Big liar!"

Lin Yaner seemed to be in a trance, muttering incessantly.

"Brother!"

"Why did you lie to Yaner?"

"If you didn't like Yaner, you could have just said so!"

"But why did you abandon me to pursue other girls?!"

"If you told Yaner that you liked other girls, Yaner could accept that too!"

"But why did you lie to Yaner?"

"Yaner hates liars the most."

"Yaner's heart still hurts so much..."

Outside the dorm, the sun was bright, the atmosphere was joyful, and girls were laughing.

Inside the dorm, the light was dim, the words were low, and the girl was trembling.

"Xiao Ran Brother! Yaner loves you the most! Yaner will definitely find you!"

"Then I will ask you: Why isn't the most beautiful memory you left me unique?"

"Is Yaner also your lie?"

"Are your feelings for Yaner also a lie?"

Lin Yaner slowly stood up.

She took out a plastic seal and sealed the paper.

She found a silver necklace Xiao Ran had given her, strung it through, and then tied the necklace around her neck.

After completing this series of actions,

a chilling smile reappeared on her pretty face.

"Xiao Ran Brother, this way Yaner can be with you forever!"

Suddenly,

she thought of something else,

picked up her phone without its case, and sent a message to her dear Xiao Ran Brother:

"Xiao Ran Brother! Yaner loves you the most! The most beautiful memory you left me... is truly beautiful!"

She silently put away her phone, placing the unique item on her chest.

She pressed it into the cleavage, a charming smile on her face.
