Chapter 128 Calming down
"Perhaps, I should really stop and think carefully about my life." A determination surged in Meng Yanchen's heart. He decided to stop and give himself some time to think and reflect, and find his own way of life and path to happiness.
Meng Yanchen is very popular in college. He is lively and cheerful, has excellent grades, and more importantly, he treats people sincerely and never refuses to help others. Therefore, he has many friends, both boys and girls like to be with him.
However, Meng Yanchen only has one person in his heart, and that is the goddess in his heart - Xiao Nuo. Xiao Nuo is the class flower, beautiful, gentle and kind. Meng Yanchen was deeply attracted by her charm from the first time he saw her. He wanted to be with Xiao Nuo and wanted to do anything for her.
So, he started his confession plan. He carefully prepared a beautiful gift and wrote a touching love letter. Then, on a sunny afternoon, he mustered up his courage and walked towards Xiao Nuo.
"Xiao Nuo, I like you." Meng Yanchen said in a trembling voice.
Xiao Nuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Meng Yanchen, you are such a nice person, but I only have ordinary friendship towards you."
Meng Yanchen's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"But you are really a very good person, and I am very grateful for your kindness to me," Xiao Nuo added.
Meng Yanchen forced a smile and turned away. He didn't want Xiao Nuo to see his lost expression, nor did he want her to feel embarrassed.
From that day on, the relationship between Meng Yanchen and Xiao Nuo became a little awkward. Although Meng Yanchen tried hard to hide his feelings, he always felt a little uncomfortable in front of Xiao Nuo. And Xiao Nuo seemed to be a little too cautious with Meng Yanchen and always avoided being alone with him.
Meng Yanchen was very sad, but he also understood that love cannot be forced. He began to try to adjust his mentality and try to forget Xiao Nuo. He devoted himself to study and work, trying to make his life more fulfilling.
Meng Yanchen's heart was filled with longing for Xiao Nuo, even though he knew this relationship might never work out. He tried hard to find distractions in his daily life, but whenever he saw Xiao Nuo, the reluctance and regret in his heart would come flooding back.
One day, Meng Yanchen suddenly had an idea. He decided to prepare a surprise for Xiao Nuo. This was not only a way for him to express his feelings, but also his last effort for this relationship. So he started planning.
Meng Yanchen was busy preparing for the wedding over the past few days. He carefully selected a gift that Xiao Nuo liked and wrote his sincere blessings and gratitude on a beautiful card. He wanted to tell Xiao Nuo through this surprise that he was willing to bless her regardless of whether she accepted his feelings or not.
When Meng Yanchen walked towards Xiao Nuo with the prepared gift and card, he felt nervous and expectant. He knew that this moment might be a turning point between them. Whether they would move forward or say goodbye completely would depend on the reaction to this surprise.
"Xiao Nuo, I have something to give you." Meng Yanchen handed Xiao Nuo a carefully wrapped gift and card.
Xiao Nuo took the gift, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Meng Yanchen, is this for me?"
"Yes, I hope you will like it." Meng Yanchen had an expectant smile on his face.
Xiao Nuo opened the gift and saw what was inside. A delighted expression appeared on her face. "Thank you, Meng Yanchen. This gift is great."
Meng Yanchen looked at Xiao Nuo's satisfied expression, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Although he knew that this did not mean that Xiao Nuo would accept his feelings, at least he brought her a little happiness.
"You're welcome. I just want to express my gratitude." Meng Yanchen said softly.
The conversation between them seemed to have resolved the awkwardness, and the atmosphere became relaxed. Meng Yanchen felt a glimmer of hope, perhaps this surprise could make the relationship between them clearer.
Meng Yanchen's heart was like a pool of ripples. He felt the joy from Xiao Nuo, but was troubled by his love for Xiao Nuo. After a brief joy, he felt a little empty, because he knew that his real desire was still the Xiao Nuo that he could never erase.
After a lot of inner struggle, Meng Yanchen finally decided to confess his feelings to Xiao Nuo. He felt that he had tried his best and he didn't want to have any regrets no matter what the result was. So he found an opportunity and decided to confess his feelings to Xiao Nuo.
"Xiao Nuo, can I talk to you alone for a while?" Meng Yanchen asked softly, his voice revealing a hint of uneasiness.
Xiao Nuo looked at Meng Yanchen's serious expression, was slightly stunned, and then nodded, "Of course."
They came to a quiet corner of the campus, and Meng Yanchen became more nervous as they approached. He knew that this moment would determine their future.
"Xiao Nuo, I have always liked you." Meng Yanchen said, his voice trembling a little.
After hearing this, Xiao Nuo frowned slightly, "Meng Yanchen, you are a good person, and I admire you very much, but I only feel for you as a friend."
Meng Yanchen felt lost, but he still said firmly: "I know, I respect your feelings. But I still have to tell you, because I don't want to have any regrets."
Xiao Nuo was silent for a while. She could feel Meng Yanchen's sincerity and persistence. "Thank you, Meng Yanchen. I really appreciate your kindness to me, but I am not ready to accept a relationship now."
Meng Yanchen nodded, feeling a little heavy in his heart, but also a little relieved. He knew that at least he had tried his best, and this experience made him more mature and stronger.
Meng Yanchen stood in a corner of the campus, feeling heavy-hearted. His thoughts were entangled with Xiao Nuo's rejection, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head. He looked into the distance gloomily, trying to calm himself down, but the waves in his heart were still surging.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a noise, turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was his good friend Song Yan and a group of people making trouble. Song Yan was a guy who loved to play pranks, always liked to create some small chaos on campus, and the group of followers around him further encouraged his mischievousness.
"Hey, Meng Yanchen! Why are you standing here alone?" Song Yan walked over with a smile and a mischievous expression on his face.
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, "Nothing, I just want to be quiet."
