Chapter 217 - 217 216 There are 80000 characters in the world but the one that hurts the most is love!

217: Chapter 216: There are 80,000 characters in the world, but the one that hurts the most is “love”!

217: Chapter 216: There are 80,000 characters in the world, but the one that hurts the most is “love”!

In front of the artificial lake on campus, Lin Xuanfei stood alone on the shore, gazing into the distance.

The wind rose, and the calm surface of the lake was rippled.

Willow strands gently brushed her beautiful cheeks, softly sweeping over her delicate shoulders.

In the distance, lotus flowers swayed, and two beautiful koi fish were playfully frolicking.

Even the fish had companions, while she stood there utterly alone.

At this thought, a bitter smile couldn’t help but form on Lin Xuanfei’s lips.

She gently removed the jade pendant hanging from her neck, as crystal-clear tears uncontrollably spilled from her eyes.

Out of the eighty thousand characters in the language, love is the most hurtful!

At that moment, Zhao Yi ran over like a man possessed.

When he saw the goddess he longed for day and night, now full of sorrow for Li Chen, his already deeply wounded heart throbbed with sharp pain.

From birth, he had been Heaven’s Chosen Son, the center of everyone’s adoration.

Li Chen was nothing but a boy from a poor family, with nothing to his name; how could he take what belonged to me?

How could he?

How could he?

How could he?

Lin Xuanfei, hearing the commotion behind her, subconsciously turned to look.

When she saw Zhao Yi’s crazed state, she was taken aback.

“Zhao Yi, what’s wrong with you?”

This sudden expression of concern obliterated the last shred of Zhao Yi’s rationality.

He pounced on Lin Xuanfei like a starved wolf that had seen a delicious lamb, his madness unbridled.

Lin Xuanfei was terrified and shouted in a panic, “Zhao Yi, what do you want to do?

Help me, someone help me…”

“Lin Xuanfei, tell me how I am inferior to that Li Chen, in what way am I not as good as him?”

Zhao Yi glared with bloodshot eyes, howling hysterically like a crazed beast.

Lin Xuanfei nearly collapsed from being shaken so violently, desperately struggling.

However, after struggling for a while, she stopped.

Instead, she stared with watery eyes, unblinking, at something behind Zhao Yi.

“Lin Xuanfei, go on, say it, in what way am I not as good as him?”

Zhao Yi still did not realize someone was behind him and kept raging.

“In every way, you’re not as good as me, are you satisfied with this answer?”

The person speaking, naturally, was Li Chen!

He had rushed over as soon as he received the alarming signal from Lin Xuanfei’s jade pendant.

When Zhao Yi saw that it was Li Chen who had come, his long-suppressed fury burst forth.

“Li Chen, I’ll kill you!”

But before Zhao Yi could charge at him, Li Chen struck him with a fierce slap.

Zhao Yi’s mouth swelled from the impact, he turned several somersaults in the air, and with a “plop,” he fell into the lake.

Li Chen glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, clapped his hands, and said, “What a lunatic, go cool off in the lake and clear your head!”

After speaking, he turned to Lin Xuanfei and asked, “Are you alright?”

Lin Xuanfei had been terribly frightened by Zhao Yi’s sudden madness.

Now, hearing Li Chen’s words, the tears she had been holding back fell like a burst dam, streaming down her face.

Seeing Lin Xuanfei cry as soon as she approached, Li Chen felt somewhat at a loss.

“Hey, don’t cry, if someone saw us they might think I did something to you.”

Part of Lin Xuanfei’s clothing on her shoulder had been torn by Zhao Yi, revealing a stretch of snowy, bountiful flesh.

Following Li Chen’s gaze, she screamed “Ah!” and crossed her arms over her chest, stepping back continuously.

Seeing this, Li Chen took off his outer garment and draped it over her.

“There seems to be a clothing mall at the school entrance.

Why don’t we go buy one?”

“Oh, are you coming with me?” Lin Xuanfei asked, her eyes blinking eagerly.

Li Chen pointed to the coat he had lent Lin Xuanfei and said seriously, “This coat of mine is really expensive, cost me 500 bucks.

If I don’t go with you, what if you run off with it?”

Lin Xuanfei was initially taken aback, then covered her mouth and snickered.

The girl who had just been crying was suddenly giggling uncontrollably.

Seeing Lin Xuanfei laugh, Li Chen spoke indifferently, “That’s more like it.

The world is so beautiful, you should laugh more!”

Lin Xuanfei playfully asked, “Didn’t you say I don’t look good when I laugh?”

Li Chen nodded and said, “Yeah, it’s not pretty, but you look even worse when you cry!”

After saying that, he saw Lin Xuanfei roll her eyes at him, so he raised two fingers solemnly and declared, “Seriously, it’s bad.

I swear!”

“Hmph, as if your Ye Chuxue is any prettier!” Lin Xuanfei huffed with a twinge of sourness.

Seeing that the topic was a bit awkward, Li Chen quickly changed the subject, “By the way, I heard you missed the midterm exam.

What happened, feeling unwell?”

Lin Xuanfei gave Li Chen a “you-know-exactly-why” look and retorted, “What do you think?”

Li Chen feigned ignorance, shrugged, and said, “I’m not the worm in your stomach, how would I know?”

Lin Xuanfei pursed her lips and asked sourly, “So, Ye Chuxue got first in the grade again, huh?

She’s really something, always ranking first!”

Li Chen shook his head and said, “Not her.

She had a bit of a slip-up, 666 points, third in the grade!”

Upon hearing that Ye Chuxue wasn’t first in the grade, Lin Xuanfei looked slightly surprised and asked, “Then who?

Gao Huan, perhaps?

I’ve seen her study super hard these days.

Her roommates said she reads and does practice problems until two or three in the morning.

She’s really a hardworking lad!”

Li Chen shook his head again, “Not her, she’s still far from it.”

Seeing that she had guessed wrong again, Lin Xuanfei’s curiosity was piqued.

However, she listed off all the usual suspects within the top ten of the grade, yet still couldn’t guess who was first.

Who could it be?

“I give up, just tell me, who is it?”

Li Chen cleared his throat and said, “Far in the distance yet close in front of you.”

Lin Xuanfei’s face was full of astonishment as she quickly looked around.

“Close in front of me?

Where?

I don’t see it.”

Li Chen was exasperated, like, seriously?

“Cough cough, Miss Lin Xuanfei, let’s see if you’ll cry anymore, you’ve probably cried your eyes blind by now.”

Lin Xuanfei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly gasped as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

“First in the grade, it’s not you, is it?”

Li Chen nodded, feigning a nonchalant, obnoxious expression.

“Actually, I just did it casually, who knew I’d come out as first in the grade.

Sigh, being too smart is really troublesome!”

Lin Xuanfei didn’t respond, wearing a “I’ll just silently watch you keep bragging” expression.

At the school entrance, a boy was holding a bouquet of roses, confessing to a girl.

However, he was rejected.

The boy looked utterly dejected and asked, “I’ve been pursuing you for so long, with all my heart, why won’t you agree?”

The girl, clearly annoyed by his persistence, said, “I didn’t force you to chase me!”

The boy was stunned for a good half a minute before finally saying seriously, “It’s okay, you don’t have to be so self-deprecating.

If you don’t push for it, we can go gay!”

The plot took a 180-degree turn, and even a seasoned player like Li Chen almost crashed.

Lin Xuanfei, already easy to amuse, was now laughing so hard she was holding her stomach and couldn’t even stand up straight.

Li Chen, seeing she might fall over any moment, quickly reached out to support her.

Except, what he touched was a bit of softness…
